Two reasons:<br /> <br /> A regular pillow provides some relief, but it usually wonโt stay in place during your night.<br /> More importantly; regular pillows are designed to support your head/neck, and not your hips, legs, or knees.<br /> The Revoget Pillow includes a soft elastic strap and is designed to fit between the legs.<br /> <br /> Within just a few days, youโll get back to uninterrupted nights and enjoying life free of pain.<br /> <br /> ๐ With Revoget, you're covered by our 60-Night Money-Back Guarantee.

I'm booking the next 15 people who click this ad for a Free Neuropathy Consultation! Peripheral Neuropathy refers to conditions that result when nerves carrying messages from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body are damaged or inflamed. When these nerves are damaged, we can experience endless Burning ๐ฅ, Numbness and Tingling, Chronic Pain ๐ค and even Loss of Balance. ๐ There are several kinds of Peripheral Neuropathies and they can stem from a variety of causes ranging from carpal tunnel syndrome (entrapment), traumatic injury (such as motor vehicle accidents, slip and fall, or sports/work related accidents), restricted blood flow, deteriorating joints, pesticide exposure, to toxic levels of sugar in the blood (causing nerve damage linked to diabetes). In your Neuropathy Screening you will get answers to the following questions: โ What is the underlying cause of the nerve damage? โ How severe is my condition? โ Are other conditions contributing? โ What types of nerves have damage? โ How much treatment do nerves require to heal? The underlying cause is different for every patient and must be understood in order to help the nerves heal and get us back to a normal life. This is why ๐๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ ๐ก๐ฒ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐๐ต๐ ๐๐ผ๐ป๐๐๐น๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ 15 new ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐บ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ต!

"Congratulations! You are going to be a mom."<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Mitchel Dixon pinched her arm. His low voice came the next second. "Come back to earth. What are you thinking about?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel was her husband. They had been married secretly for two years. He was her superior at work, the president of the Dixon Group. <br /> <br /> Everything had happened so fast. She was newly employed in the company when they unexpectedly got married. <br /> <br /> At that time, Mitchel's grandfather fell seriously ill. It was then he proposed a fake marriage just to fulfill his grandfather's dying wish. <br /> <br /> They signed a prenup, agreeing to hide their marriage from the public. Their union could be terminated at any time. <br /> <br /> It was an unconventional thing to do. However, Raegan only considered herself lucky at that time. <br /> <br /> Never in a million years did she think she would ever get married to the man she had a crush on for eight years. She delightfully agreed. <br /> <br /> After their marriage, Mitchel was very busy. He spent most of his time working. <br /> <br /> Raegan wished she could spend more time with him at home. However, she was rest assured because there hadn't been any rumors or scandals about him with women in the past two years. <br /> <br /> Except for his mild indifference, Mitchel was a perfect husband. <br /> <br /> Raegan had mixed feelings as she stared at the medical report. <br /> <br /> In the end, she decided to tell Mitchel this news. <br /> <br /> She also wanted to tell him that she hadn't learned about him for the first time two years ago and that she had been crushing on him for many years before then. <br /> <br /> Just then, Mitchelโs phone rang. He went to the balcony and answered the phone. <br /> <br /> Raegan checked the time and found that it was already midnight. <br /> <br /> She felt a little uneasy. Who would call Mitchel at this hour? <br /> <br /> Mitchel spent a few minutes on the balcony. Thereafter, he returned and changed into formal attire. His handsome face which had a clear outline made him look dignified. <br /> <br /> He was something to see now. <br /> <br /> "Don't wait up for me. Good night," he said finally. <br /> <br /> What? He was on his way out? At this hour? <br /> <br /> Raegan's grip on the report tightened as she stared at him in disappointment. Unconsciously, she withdrew slightly. After thinking for a while, she blurted out, "It's already so late."<br /> <br /> Mitchel's fingers froze on his tie. With a faint smile, he pinched her earlobe and said, "Be good, okay? There's something I have to do. Don't wait up."<br /> <br /> With that, he headed for the door. <br /> <br /> "Mitchel."<br /> <br /> Raegan quickly ran and caught up with him. <br /> <br /> Mitchel turned around and looked at her seriously. <br /> <br /> "What's the matter?"<br /> <br /> There was a tinge of coldness to his voice. An icy cloud hung over them as they stared at each other. <br /> <br /> A little distressed, Raegan asked in a low voice, "I would like to visit my grandma tomorrow. Can you accompany me there?"<br /> <br /> Her grandmother always wanted to see her. As a result, Raegan wanted to take Mitchel there to assure her grandma they were happy. <br /> <br /> "Let's talk about it tomorrow, okay?" Without agreeing or declining, Mitchel left in a hurry. <br /> <br /> Several thoughts were threading Raegan's mind. She couldn't sleep a wink. <br /> <br /> After tossing and turning for a long time, she went to the kitchen and made herself a warm glass of milk. <br /> <br /> A few notifications from some online blogs came into her phone. <br /> <br /> However, she wasn't interested in them. She was about to swipe them away when one of them caught her attention. The familiar name made her click on it. <br /> <br /> The news read, "Famous designer, Lauren Murray was spotted at the airport with her mysterious boyfriend earlier today."<br /> <br /> Lauren was wearing a bucket hat. The man's figure was vague, but the outline of his body was enough to show that he was dashing. <br /> <br /> Raegan zoomed in on the picture. The next second, her heart dropped. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was the man in the picture! <br /> <br /> So, he canceled the afternoon meeting just to go pick up his ex-girlfriend from the airport? <br /> <br /> This realization settled like a boulder in Raegan's gut, rendering her flustered. <br /> <br /> Her hands trembled. Subconsciously, she dialed Mitchel's number. <br /> <br /> The dial tone brought her back to her senses. Just as she was about to hang up, the line connected, and a voice came from the other end. <br /> <br /> "Hello!"<br /> <br /> It was a particularly gentle woman's voice. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a second and then threw the phone away. <br /> <br /> She suddenly felt sick in her stomach. Covering her mouth, she ran into the bathroom and threw up in the toilet bowl. <br /> <br /> The next morning, Raegan went to work on time. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had tried to get her to stop working after they got married. Stubbornly, she insisted on making her own money. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't kick against her decision, but he asked her to work as his assistant, helping him with the daily chores. <br /> <br /> The head assistant, Matteo Jenkins was left to take care of the major affairs Mitchel had. <br /> <br /> Matteo was the only Dixon Group employee who knew about their marriage. <br /> <br /> Since inception, only male assistants were hired for the president's office. Reagan was the first and only female. Her employment broke the protocol. As a result, other workers couldn't help but wonder if she was involved with Mitchel. <br /> <br /> It took a while before they realized that Mitchel never gave Raegan special treatment. Strangely, this made them despise her even more. <br /> <br /> After all, no one would last long in anything while taking advantage of their looks.<br /> <br /> At this time, one of Raegan's colleagues handed her a document and ordered her to take it to Mitchel's office. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't return home last night. Raegan was so worried that she didn't sleep at all. <br /> <br /> All she kept thinking about was the woman who answered his phone when she called. What was her relationship with Mitchel?<br /> <br /> Raegan already knew the answer to that, but she was still in denial. <br /> <br /> It was difficult for her to come to terms with that fact. <br /> <br /> Raegan tried to remain calm now. She reasoned that no matter what happened, she deserved a result that would be rewarding for all the years she spent loving Mitchel. This couldn't be all for nothing, right? <br /> <br /> She pressed the elevator button calmly and went up to the president's office. Before she walked out of the elevator, she smoothed her hair to make sure she looked good. <br /> <br /> She had arrived at the office, only to see that the door was ajar. A man's voice came. She halted instantly. <br /> <br /> "Come on, man! Do you have any feelings for Raegan or not?"<br /> <br /> The voice belonged to Luis Stevens, a childhood friend of Mitchel's. <br /> <br /> "What do you mean exactly?" Mitchel asked in a cold voice. <br /> <br /> "You know exactly what I mean!" Luis clicked his tongue impatiently and added, "I think Raegan is a good girl. Isn't she your type?"<br /> <br /> "Do you want me to hand her over to you?" Mitchel asked carelessly. <br /> <br /> "You know what, forget it!"<br /> <br /> The scornful laughter of Luis sounded particularly harsh in Raegan's ears. <br /> <br /> They were talking about her as if she were an object. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and tightened her grip on the document. <br /> <br /> Soon, Luis's voice was heard again. <br /> <br /> "By the way, I saw the gossip news about Lauren's mysterious boyfriend this morning. That was you, right?"<br /> <br /> "Yes."<br /> <br /> "Well, well, well! That woman still has you wrapped around her little finger. You always want to please her."<br /> <br /> Luis sighed and continued to tease Mitchel. "As the old saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Tell me, did you two..."<br /> <br /> Their conversation was like a thunder exploding over Raegan's head. <br /> <br /> Her face turned pale and her body was as cold as ice. <br /> <br /> The woman was indeed Lauren! <br /> <br /> Absence made the heart grow fonder! <br /> <br /> Every word drove a knife into her heart. <br /> <br /> Several whispering voices filled her head at this time. She suddenly felt light-headed. Her vision became blurry. <br /> <br /> She held the wall and took a step backward. Suddenly, the door was opened from inside. <br /> <br /> "Raegan?"<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 2 One-sided Love<br /> <br /> Luis was the one who opened the door. It appeared he was on his way out. <br /> <br /> Raegan balled her hands, turned to him, and nodded. "Hey, Mr. Stevens!"<br /> <br /> Without waiting for him to respond to her greeting, she walked past him and entered the office with the document. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was seated behind a large luxurious desk. In an expensive suit and matching tie, he looked particularly handsome. <br /> <br /> Raegan noticed it wasn't the same suit he had on when he left home last night. How did he get changed? <br /> <br /> With her eyes lowered, she swallowed that question and said instead, "Mr. Dixon, this is from the Marketing Department. Please sign it."<br /> <br /> Mitchel was expressionless as he signed the document at a glance. <br /> <br /> Raegan walked out the door as soon as he handed the document back to her. Luis was still standing at the threshold. <br /> <br /> It wasn't until she went out of sight that Luis turned to Mitchel and said in a hushed tone, "Do you think she heard us?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel's appealing eyes were expressionless at the moment. Obviously, he wasn't paying attention to what Luis was saying. <br /> <br /> To Mitchel, Raegan had always been docile and never felt jealous of anyone. <br /> <br /> Her strict obedience was all Mitchel demanded from her in exchange for treating her well. <br /> <br /> In the elevator. <br /> <br /> Raegan held her breath just to hold back her tears. Unfortunately, it didn't work. <br /> <br /> She had thought two years would be enough for Mitchel to realize how much she loved him and reciprocate her love. <br /> <br /> Now, it turned out that was just a pipe dream. <br /> <br /> She realized she would always play second fiddle to Lauren, Mitchel's true love. <br /> <br /> Reagan wiped her tears when the elevator halted. Save for her pale face, she looked normal when the doors opened. <br /> <br /> She dragged herself to the break room, intending to make herself a cup of tea. <br /> <br /> Several employees were chatting inside. <br /> <br /> "Guys, have you heard? Lauren Murray is back."<br /> <br /> "And who is that?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, my! You don't know her? Lauren is the heiress of the Murray Group as well as a world-class designer. Most importantly, she's the only girlfriend Mr. Dixon has ever shown off in public. She's his first love!"<br /> <br /> "Why is her return such a big deal? Isn't it rumored that there is something between Mr. Dixon and Raegan?"<br /> <br /> "Raegan? She's nothing to Mr. Dixon. Mr. Dixon never admitted that he was dating her. And that is no surprise to me. After all, look at her. She's not even that beautiful. Yet, she behaves as if she's already Mrs. Dixon. What a fool!"<br /> <br /> Standing at the door, Raegan smiled with self-mockery as she listened to them. It turned out everyone else saw the truth except her. <br /> <br /> The love was one-sided. <br /> <br /> "Ha-ha, have you finally woken up from your wild dream, Raegan?"<br /> <br /> A voice of mockery suddenly came from behind. Raegan turned around to see Tessa Lloyd, Mitchel's cousin, who had always despised her. <br /> <br /> Tessa must have also heard the employees gossiping. <br /> <br /> The last thing Raegan wanted to do now was argue with Tessa in the company. She turned to leave, but Tessa blocked her way. <br /> <br /> With a cup of coffee in her hand, Tessa uttered sarcastically, "Lauren is back now. Do you think Mitchel will still give you any attention?"<br /> <br /> Raegan said nothing to that. <br /> <br /> Seconds later, Tessa continued the ridicule. "Maybe itโs time for you to seek out another man, you pathetic fool."<br /> <br /> Raegan clenched her fists and said coldly, "Ms. Lloyd, if you are interested in that kind of thing, feel free to pursue it yourself."<br /> <br /> "You..."<br /> <br /> Raegan's retort made Tessa's face change. <br /> <br /> The next second, Tessa raised her hand and emptied the cup of coffee on Raegan. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn't think for a second that Tessa would do something so crazy. She held up her arms just to block the liquid from her face. In no time, the coffee drenched her clothes. <br /> <br /> Raegan frowned. "What did you do that for? Are you out of your mind?"<br /> <br /> It was lunch break and many employees were free to watch the drama. Tessa was even more complacent when she saw growing onlookers. <br /> <br /> She put on a mean-girl look as she said, "What makes you so smug every day, huh? Do you seriously think that others don't know you are just an orphan? The nerve of..."<br /> <br /> Tessa was silenced by Raeganโs shove. <br /> <br /> Her jaw dropped to the floor. She had never expected that Raegan, who was so quiet and timid, would shove her. <br /> <br /> Tessa stuttered, "You... You pushed me? How dare you!"<br /> <br /> Raegan eyed her and replied, "Yes, I did! It seems you need to be taught simple politeness."<br /> <br /> Indeed, she lost her parents when she was a child. But that didn't mean she would allow someone to walk over her for it. <br /> <br /> Wrinkles appeared on Tessa's face as she frowned in anger. As Mitchel's cousin, she was used to being fawned over and respected. This was the first time she had been treated like this. <br /> <br /> Tessa charged at Raegan like a raging bull, poised to retaliate. <br /> <br /> This time, Raegan was fully prepared for what was coming. She grabbed Tessa's wrist so that the latter couldn't move another inch. <br /> <br /> Tessa was shorter than Raegan. As a result, she struggled like an octopus that had one of its tentacles stuck in a fishing trap. <br /> <br /> Tessa cursed angrily, "How dare you put your hands on me? Who do you think you are?"<br /> <br /> These harsh words attracted more people to the break room. <br /> <br /> "That's enough!"<br /> <br /> Out of the blue, a baritone came from behind. Mitchel had left his office and ran into this hullabaloo. <br /> <br /> The entire room fell silent. <br /> <br /> "Mitchel?" Tessa's blood ran cold at the sight of Mitchel. She had always been scared of him. Her mother also warned her against provoking him. <br /> <br /> But when she remembered that Raegan humiliated her, she put on a pitiful expression and sobbed. "Mitchel, she bullied me."<br /> <br /> The sunlight from outside fell on Mitchel's handsome face. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt so grieved all of a sudden, and lowered her head to look at her clothes which were soaked with coffee. <br /> <br /> Their gaze met in the air. With a deep frown, Mitchel looked at Raegan and said, "Raegan, have you forgotten the rules of the company?"<br /> <br /> His ruthlessness made Raegan's breathing cease. She couldn't believe her ears. <br /> <br /> No one dared to make a sound at this moment. <br /> <br /> Raegan just stood straight there with her slender figure. <br /> <br /> When she got employed here, Mitchel had told her that the Dixon Group wasn't a place for her to mess around and that he would not tolerate her making any mistakes. <br /> <br /> Raegan could understand why he took this stand. <br /> <br /> However, at this moment, she was desperate to know whether Mitchel had heard those hard words Tessa scolded her or he was just pretending not to have heard because he agreed to those words. <br /> <br /> Was she truly insignificant to him?<br /> <br /> Scared to death by Mitchel's rage, the crowd soon dispersed. A few employees were bold enough to peep from a distance, unwilling to miss the good show. <br /> <br /> Mitchel's cold eyes made Raegan shiver from head to toe. <br /> <br /> Raegan pinched her palm to suppress her emotions as she looked at Tessa. <br /> <br /> "I'm sorry, Ms. Lloyd. As an employee of the Dixon Group, it was wrong of me to have offended you."<br /> <br /> Eyeing Raegan, Tessa raised her chin complacently. "Humph! Don't think you'll be let off the hook just by making a simple apology. I don't buy..."<br /> <br /> "The offence has nothing to do with the company. Personally, I refuse to apologize to you. Now, if you'd excuse me," Raegan chimed in. <br /> <br /> She then walked past Mitchel without sparing him another look. <br /> <br /> "You..."<br /> <br /> Tessa's face turned blue after hearing what Raegan said. <br /> <br /> Never in her years of being alive had she been so humiliated. She was always the bully, not the victim! <br /> <br /> The humiliation was so much that scolding Raegan wouldn't appease her anger. <br /> <br /> Pointing in Raegan's direction, Tessa shouted, "Mitchel, did you hear what that woman just said? She humiliated me, yet she's still so arrogant. Call her back. I have to teach her some manners!"<br /> <br /> Mitchel, staring at Raegan's thin back, had an ambiguous expression at this moment. <br /> <br /> "Enough!" he said coldly, raising his hand. <br /> <br /> As someone who lived and breathed drama and cruelty, Tessa didn't think Mitchel was partial to Raegan just now. She assumed that Mitchel didn't care about Raegan at all. <br /> <br /> Tessa gritted her teeth and said viciously, "Next time, I'll get someone to teach her a lesson."<br /> <br /> "Tessa!" Mitchel's tone and squint made it a reproof. <br /> <br /> Tessa trembled at once. <br /> <br /> With a somber face, Mitchel said, "I'll only say it once. Forget about what happened here today. Leave Raegan alone."<br /> <br /> The aura he exuded made her tongue go dry. All the vicious ideas she had in store against Raegan disappeared in an instant. <br /> <br /> She stammered, "Ok... Okay, got it..."<br /> <br /> Mitchel cast a cold glance at her and spoke to Matteo. "Irrelevant people wouldn't be allowed in here from today onwards."<br /> <br /> Without catching the drift, Tessa flattered Mitchel. "Nice call. This is a top company. Not everyone gains access in here."<br /> <br /> Matteo nodded to Mitchel and then walked over to Tessa. He gestured to the exit. "Ms. Lloyd, this way, please."<br /> <br /> It wasn't until this moment that Tessa realized that she was the irrelevant person Mitchel just mentioned. She tried to speak to him, but Matteo blocked her way. The security guards then escorted her out. <br /> <br /> They showed her no mercy. Her struggle was useless. <br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Raegan got changed when she returned to her office. <br /> <br /> Her heart was filled with sadness as she thought of how Mitchel looked at her minutes ago. <br /> <br /> Closing hour soon rolled by. <br /> <br /> Raegan took her bag and headed for the exit. However, Matteo stopped her. <br /> <br /> He said, "Mr. Dixon has something urgent to deal with, so he asked me to drive you home."<br /> <br /> Raegan declined the ride without thinking twice. <br /> <br /> She was blind before, but now she could see through the situation. <br /> <br /> In Mitchel's eyes, she was just a nobody. <br /> <br /> How could Mitchel agree to accompany her to visit her grandmother when he didn't even care about her? <br /> <br /> Upon arriving at the hospital, Raegan saw that the nurse was about to feed her grandmother dinner. Raegan took the job over and did it by herself. <br /> <br /> All her life, her grandmother had been living in the countryside, enjoying a quiet life. Everything changed last month when her routine medical checkup showed that she was in need of medical care. Raegan insisted on bringing her to the city for better treatment. <br /> <br /> Her grandmother wasn't aware of her marriage to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> Raegan had planned to surprise her today. But as it turned out, that was no longer necessary. <br /> <br /> Raegan waited for her grandmother to fall asleep before she left. She walked out of the hospital and waited for a taxi. <br /> <br /> In the distance, a black luxury car pulled into the entrance of the hospital. <br /> <br /> Raegan's eyes lit up when she saw it. She recognized that car as Mitchel's. <br /> <br /> Did he come to pick her up? <br /> <br /> At this moment, she forgot all the pain she had been feeling. <br /> <br /> Were her thoughts about him all wrong? Did he care for her, contrary to the gossip? <br /> <br /> The door of the driver's side opened and Mitchel got out. <br /> <br /> Raegan started walking toward him with her heart brimming with joy. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, she stopped dead in her tracks. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had just walked over to the other side and carried a woman out of the car. <br /> <br /> Worry and compassion were written all over his handsome face. <br /> <br /> This wiped the smile on Raegan's face. Her heart sank. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 3 Let's Divorce<br /> <br /> Mitchel's tall and straight figure got closer and closer to Raegan. And then, without saying a word, he strode past Raegan. <br /> <br /> It was hard to tell if Mitchel saw Raegan or just ignored her. <br /> <br /> Regardless, Raegan noticed that the woman in his arms was the same one who had been photographed with him yesterday. <br /> <br /> She was Lauren. <br /> <br /> Raegan's shoes felt like they were made of lead as she walked away. <br /> <br /> She lost all awareness of her surroundings. She got into a taxi absentmindedly. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, the driver uttered, "Ma'am, where to?"<br /> <br /> Raegan was stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> She didn't want to go back to Serenity Villas. It was only a matter of time before that place stopped being her home. <br /> <br /> After a while, she replied, "Please take me to Crystal Bay."<br /> <br /> She had purchased an apartment at Crystal Bay after getting married to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> At the time, she had hopes of bringing her grandmother to the city, so she bought the apartment on mortgage. It wasn't that big, but it had more than enough space for two people. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't understand why she wanted to buy an apartment. He offered to give her a bigger one, but she declined. <br /> <br /> Looking back now, she realized that buying that apartment was the only wise decision she had ever made in the last two years. <br /> <br /> When she arrived at the apartment complex, Raegan sat in the park alone, trying to cool herself down. <br /> <br /> The memories of the past two years were bittersweet. <br /> <br /> Two years had passed in the blink of an eye even though it was more than seven hundred days and nights. <br /> <br /> Love could move mountains, they said. <br /> <br /> Yet, her love didn't move that stone of a man. She finally realized what a fool she had been. She had been making herself a laughingstock in front of everyone. <br /> <br /> It was already late in the night before Raegan finally decided to go into her apartment. <br /> <br /> As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Mitchel standing in front of the door. <br /> <br /> His sleeves were rolled up casually, and the top buttons of his shirt were undone, which revealed his long neck and part of his collarbone. He was leaning on the wall by the door, his handsome face straight. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a moment. <br /> <br /> Why was he here? Didn't she see him at the hospital with Lauren? What brought him here? <br /> <br /> Their eyes met. With his coat draped over his arm and one of his hands in his pocket, Mitchel squinted at her. <br /> <br /> "Why didn't you answer the phone?" he asked, sounding a little grumpy like someone who hadn't slept in a long time. <br /> <br /> Raegan took out her phone and saw she had accidentally put it on DND. <br /> <br /> There were five missed calls from Mitchel. <br /> <br /> This marked the first time in their two-year marriage. <br /> <br /> Mitchel blew up her phone because he couldn't find her? Surprising! <br /> <br /> Before today, she would have been overjoyed by this. People would've thought she won the lottery. <br /> <br /> But now, she just threw her phone back into her bag, folded her arms, and said in a hoarse voice, "I didn't hear it ring."<br /> <br /> Mitchel raised his hand to check the time on the watch, and said impatiently, "I've been looking for you for two hours."<br /> <br /> After arranging everything for Lauren, he returned home to find an empty house. He looked for Raegan everywhere. When he couldn't find her, he asked Matteo to check the surveillance footage of all the roads that led away from the company. <br /> <br /> He later found out that Raegan went to Crystal Bay without telling him. <br /> <br /> "Next time, tell me when you are coming here, okay? Let's go home now." After that, Mitchel walked toward the elevator without sparing her another glance. <br /> <br /> He meant to go back to Serenity Villas. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn't move an inch. She just stared at his broad back and pondered reluctantly. <br /> <br /> Would they have a future? <br /> <br /> Mitchell turned around, only to see that Raegan hadn't taken a single step. He frowned and asked, "Can't you walk? Do you want me to carry you instead?"<br /> <br /> The light in the corridor illuminated his face, making his side profile almost impeccable. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and said, "Let's divorce."<br /> <br /> "What do you mean?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel's voice was cold, and his handsome face changed immediately. <br /> <br /> "I want to move into my own place. After all, we will be strangers soon."<br /> <br /> Raegan forced a smile, but her heart was aching as if someone was tearing it apart bit by bit. <br /> <br /> "We will be strangers?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel smiled coldly. "Raegan, what do you think our relationship is now?"<br /> <br /> His questioning left Raegan stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had made it very clear to her from the very beginning. This facade of their marriage had happened by mutual agreement. There was no love. In the eyes of others, they were nothing more than just a superior and a subordinate. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was quite the catch in Ardlens. Many young ladies longed for his love and were even willing to throw themselves at him. <br /> <br /> His question just now reminded her of that fact. Was he afraid that she wouldn't let him go that easily? If that was the case, he couldn't be more wrong... <br /> <br /> After biting her lower lip to conceal her bitterness, Raegan said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Dixon. I was giving it too much thought. Anyway, please leave me alone from now on. You don't have to come here again."<br /> <br /> After saying that, Raegan couldn't help but burst into tears. <br /> <br /> How could she not be sad when she was cutting ties with the man she had loved for a decade? It was such a long time. <br /> <br /> Regardless of how difficult it was, she knew it was time to let go. <br /> <br /> It was high time she stopped being a fool. <br /> <br /> Strangely, the light in the corridor began flickering. <br /> <br /> The deathly stare Mitchel was giving Raegan right now made the atmosphere seem like the moment before an attack in a horror movie. <br /> <br /> Although he understood that Raegan sometimes could throw a tantrum, he felt that she had just crossed the line now. <br /> <br /> His eyes shone like blazing torches at this moment. But when he saw the tears in her eyes, the rage inside him extinguished in an instant. He said in a low voice, "If this is about what happened between you and Tessa, I..."<br /> <br /> "No, this isn't about her. Mr. Dixon, please leave now."<br /> <br /> A lot of things happened between them. And the incident with Tessa didn't come close to any. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt exhausted. She passed by Mitchel and was about to open the door. <br /> <br /> Yet, Mitchel was displeased with her stubbornness. <br /> <br /> He loosened his tie irritably. He then took a step forward and grabbed her wrist. <br /> <br /> "Stop this, will you?"<br /> <br /> A second later, he put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his arms. <br /> <br /> He instantly realized that she was burning up like someone who had been set on fire. <br /> <br /> "You have a fever?"<br /> <br /> Raegan felt dizzy. She rested her head on his chest weakly. <br /> <br /> This made the whole situation complicated. <br /> <br /> Reagan was slow to catch that. When she finally realized that her body was too close to his, she put her hands against his chest and tried to pull back. <br /> <br /> Before she could escape, Mitchel pulled her back and held her by the waist. With a cold face, he said in a low voice, "Where do you think you are going?"<br /> <br /> The light flickered again. Out of the blue, Mitchel lifted her up. <br /> <br /> He then headed for the elevator. <br /> <br /> In a daze, Raegan asked softly, "What are you doing?"<br /> <br /> "What does it look like I am doing?" Mitchel remarked. "Taking you to the hospital, of course."<br /> <br /> "No way!" Raegan cried out in surprise and seemed to regain more strength. <br /> <br /> Mitchel might find out about her condition if they went to the hospital.<br /> <br /> Raegan struggled to get out of Mitchel's arms. However, his tight grip made her efforts fruitless. <br /> <br /> "Don't be so stubborn. You are sick, so you must see the doctor," Mitchel said firmly. <br /> <br /> He walked to the elevator with her in his arms. At this moment, Raegan's heart was thumping so hard that it could jump out of her chest. She flailed in protest. <br /> <br /> "Put me down! I don't want to go to the hospital!"<br /> &4& | Hello reading | 36313 | https://facebook.com/61552535188096 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714719600 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Constantly turning to Ibuprofen or Tylenol can be good for a quick fix, but the bad news is they just cover up the symptoms. They don't actually fix a problem. <br /> <br /> Hi, my name is Dr. Robert Prewitt with HealthQuest and we've helped hundreds of people in the Cincinnati area get out of pain without the use of drugs or surgery. <br /> <br /> The problem most people don't realize is that when the spine is out of alignment or not functioning properly it causes nerve irritation. This leads to things like... <br /> ๐ Migraine Headaches<br /> ๐ Sciatica<br /> ๐ Bulging Discs<br /> ๐ Degeneration<br /> ๐ Trouble Sleeping<br /> ๐ Neck Pain<br /> ๐ Back pain<br /> ๐ And Many More...<br /> <br /> Rather than covering up the symptom, we focus on getting to the root cause of the health issue by removing nerve interference in the spine! We're booking 25 appointments for a $21 New Patient Exam, Consultation, any needed X-Rays, and Full Report of Findings. . <br /> <br /> Tap the "SIGN UP" button below to claim your spot! ๐ | HealthQuest | 1527 | https://facebook.com/HealthQuestInc | 0 | SIGN_UP | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

The young billionaire whispered with his hand grabbing Isabella's, who was in a wedding gown.<br /> "Do you need me to help you seek revenge? Whether it's the scumbag who betrayed you or your stepmother, they're nothing in front of me."<br /> Isabella looked at the handsome man in front of her and nodded.<br /> "Marry me, and we'll let them regret it for the rest of their lives."<br /> <br /> Chapter 1 Betrayal<br /> Up on the massive screen, a couple in their birthday suits were all tangled up, getting hot and heavy, and the surround sound was blasting every moan and breath.<br /> <br /> The lady had curves for days and her skin was mad smooth. Then there came a close-up of their faces.<br /> <br /> Isabella Sorenson was struck dumb, staring up at the screen, and she felt like she'd just been punched in the gut. The naked couple were none other than her main squeeze Zachary Winslow and her bestie Scarlett Pearson.<br /> <br /> And no joke, they were both right there next to her because today was supposed to be Isabella and Zachary's engagement party.<br /> <br /> Just a second before, that screen was showing cute throwbacks of Zachary and Isabella growing up together, while some dude was talking all mushy about it. It went from little Isabella at three to Zachary at seven, and then instead of more childhood pictures, the screen switched to the hookup video.<br /> <br /> "Ah!" Scarlett let out a scream and threw her arms around Zachary.<br /> <br /> Now, if anybody was still clueless about who were up on that screen, everything was out in the open. While Isabella was stuck on the spot, Zachary was hugging Scarlett.<br /> <br /> The whole place exploded with whispers and gasps.<br /> <br /> "Yo, ain't that Isabella's ride-or-die?" one guest whispered.<br /> <br /> "Seriously, Ms. Sorenson got played?" chimed in another.<br /> <br /> "Yo, check out that bod!" somebody else hollered.<br /> <br /> "What's going on?" Isabella's father, Nathan Ingram, was freaking out, trying to cover up the screen, but this screen was enormous. Though he was like pushing six feet, he looked straight-up silly trying to block it.<br /> <br /> Terence Winslow, Zachary's father, was beet red but he bolted toward the control room to turn off the screen.<br /> <br /> Scarlett, her eyes leaking like a faucet, hit Isabella with the puppy dog eyes. "Isabella, didn't you pinky swear to let this go? I promised I'd ditch Zachary and leave town the second you're engaged. Why you gotta blast this now? Are you trying to ruin me?"<br /> <br /> When Scarlett clung to Zachary, he looked kinda red-faced but went wide-eyed the second he heard what Scarlett said. Holding her firmly, he asked, "What are you saying, Scarlett? Isabella forced you to leave?"<br /> <br /> It was as if a bomb had detonated within Isabella's mind, leaving her stunned and disoriented. She stared blankly at Zachary, her childhood sweetheart. Ever since she could remember, Isabella had made up her mind to spend the rest of her life with Zachary.<br /> <br /> 'When did he and Scarlett become a thing? And when did I ever agree not to pursue this matter? What's going on here? What are they talking about?' Isabelle wondered.<br /> <br /> "How could you be so vicious, setting up your own fiancรฉ and best friend?" Zachary's sister, Megan Winslow, shoved Isabella on the shoulder.<br /> <br /> Isabella, in a daze, didn't see that coming and staggered backward until she ended up right beside Nathan.<br /> <br /> Nathan was filled with fury. Raising his hand, he slapped her in the face. "Look at what you've done! You've brought disgrace upon both our families!"<br /> <br /> Before Isabella could even regain her balance, she was knocked to the ground by the slap. Zachary grew anxious and instinctively wanted to help her up, but Scarlett tightened her grip on his arm.<br /> <br /> Isabella turned and caught a glance of the smugness in Scarlett's eyes.<br /> <br /> "How can you hit your child? Come on, get up, Isabella." A voice was heard as a pair of hands helped Isabella to her feet.<br /> <br /> Terence sighed, "Isabella, don't blame your father. What you did was really out of line."<br /> <br /> Lorelai Winslow, Zachary's mother, pointed at Scarlett and said, "Where did you come from? You must have seduced my son. Get out of here! I'll never let you become part of our family!"<br /> <br /> Scarlett hid behind Zachary like a scared puppy.<br /> <br /> Zachary positioned himself protectively in front of Scarlett, his voice firm as he addressed his mother. "Mom, don't blame Scarlett. Isabella, she's your best friend. You can't push her to the brink like this!"<br /> <br /> With Terence's support, Isabella finally got back to her feet. A solitary tear traced its path down her cheek. As she gazed up at Zachary, the man she had loved for most of her life, she realized he had become a stranger in the blink of an eye.<br /> <br /> 'Scarlett's supposed to be my best friend. He knows that. They play me and now it's my bad?' she thought.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, I can't even with you. Zach, how can you tie the knot with her? After you're hitched, who knows what stories she'll spin? Can't trust her. Not one bit!" Megan was throwing shade at Isabella before turning to Zachary, all concerned.<br /> <br /> Megan had been in the same class as Isabella back in high school, but they never really hit it off. Megan always teamed up with Yvonne Ingram to give Isabella a hard time. Plus, Megan detested the idea of Isabella becoming part of her family.<br /> <br /> "Zip it! Isabella is the eldest daughter of the esteemed Sorenson family. And who's that chick? Does she possess the same standing as Isabella? How could the Winslow family be cool with letting just anyone in?" Lorelai snapped off, not realizing she was pretty loud.<br /> <br /> Lorelai wasn't Isabella's number one fan, but she was all about that social ladder. Having Isabella marry in was like a major level-up for Zachary. No other high-class family had a daughter that could touch Isabella's status. Plus, Isabella was the kind of person one could sway pretty easy.<br /> <br /> So yeah, Lorelai had to make it crystal clearโthey couldn't let Isabella slip away.<br /> <br /> At first, Isabella kind of felt thankful to her future mother-in-law for stepping up, but then it hit her why she really did it.<br /> <br /> "Yes! Isabella, you're the eldest daughter of the Sorenson family. You should consider the reputations of the Sorenson family, the Ingram family, and the Winslow family before doing this!" Yvonne chimed in, looking all stressed.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, you've just crushed your dad. His heart's in pieces," Winona said, sounding all sweet but sad.<br /> <br /> Winona and Yvonne dropping those lines just made Nathan and Terence pull grumpier faces. 'She's gotta grow up. Can't be airing our dirty laundry like this!' they thought.<br /> <br /> Chapter 2 Proposal<br /> Isabella looked at the people around her.<br /> <br /> Her father, Nathan, was boiling mad.<br /> <br /> Her stepmother, Winona, and her half-sister, Yvonne, were getting a kick out of the drama.<br /> <br /> Her future father-in-law Terence was just shaking his head, and future mother-in-law Lorelai was cringing.<br /> <br /> Her would-be sister-in-law Megan was glaring holes through her.<br /> <br /> Her fiancรฉ, Zachary, didn't know what to do. In his arms was the pitiful woman, Scarlett, who was once her best friend.<br /> <br /> These folks were Isabella's whole world. And just like that, the world flipped, leaving Isabella as the one everyone was pointing fingers at.<br /> <br /> Isabella brushed away the tears and said lightly, "I hereby announce that Zachary Winslow and Isabella Sorenson's marriage contract has been canceled. We have nothing to do with each other from now on. I wish you happiness!" Then she bounced off the stage.<br /> <br /> Her dad Nathan jumped in, "Hold up, you think it's just up to you? You and Zachary were a done deal before you were even a twinkle. Don't even try to ditch this without my say-so!" Nathan had always been tough on Isabella, mostly because having Isabella around was a constant reminder that he was kind of a live-in son-in-law and his kids had to take their mom's last name. Big-time embarrassment for a guy who made it big.<br /> <br /> "And Isabella, cool it, will ya? Zachary messed up, and we'll make him say sorry. This marriage thing wasn't just your call, it's our families' deal. Don't go and have a meltdown. I got your back," Terence tried to smooth things over.<br /> <br /> Then he whirled around and snapped at Zachary, "Zachary! Drop that girl already!"<br /> <br /> Zachary looked like he didn't know what hit him.<br /> <br /> Scarlett, all tears and drama, shoved Zachary away. "Go after Isabella, Zachary. My bad, it's all on me. I'm no match for Isabella. I'm sorry, Isabella. Forgive me, okay? Don't go."<br /> <br /> Zachary just stood there, silent as a ghost.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, hold it! Are you deaf?" Nathan was beside himself with rage. He thought, 'She's always done what I said, like a perfect little robot. Why's she ignoring orders today?'<br /> <br /> Isabella stopped cold, her hands balled into fists so tight they hurt. She spun around to face Nathan.<br /> <br /> Now Nathan got real. "Come on, it's nothing. Why you making a big deal? Zachary and his folks are cool now. What more do you need? Who else would deal with your drama? You gotta see where your bread's buttered!"<br /> <br /> Isabella just felt this chill and said real slow, "He deserves better than me. I'll find someone else, no biggie."<br /> <br /> Nathan lost it, "Who else would even look at you?"<br /> <br /> But Isabella, she didn't even flinch. Shoulders back, head high, she walked right out the door.<br /> <br /> The crowd was eating up the drama like it was prime-time TV.<br /> <br /> Zachary and Isabella's engagement was like the hot gossip among the rich folks. Their families were tight, and with Isabella and Zachary set to tie the knot, the business was booming.<br /> <br /> The engagement party was just for show. They were heading for the altar anyway. But then, the plot thickened like in a soap opera.<br /> <br /> Zachary did Isabella dirty with her own bestie. Feeling burned, Isabella put them on blast right there in front of everyone.<br /> <br /> Instead of feeling sorry for her, people were ragging on Isabella. She was pretty shaken up when she realized that nobody seemed to care about her side of the story. But could she really get mad when her own dad dissed her too?<br /> <br /> Isabella stepped down from the stage and nearly took a spill in her killer heels. Just in time, one guy reached out and saved her from a faceplant.<br /> <br /> "Thanks," Isabella mumbled, looking down.<br /> <br /> A chill voice came from up top, "Watch your step."<br /> <br /> Isabella regained her balance, raised her head, and met a pair of deep, calm eyes. She was momentarily stunned, charmed by the handsome face before her. This guy was something elseโstrong brows, dark blue eyes, the works. He was all smiles and chill vibes.<br /> <br /> She took a breath and laid it all out there, completely honest. "Hi! Are you single?"<br /> <br /> He was stunned but nodded.<br /> <br /> Ignoring the crowd's shocked gasps, Isabella was like, "I'm Isabella Sorenson, 22, still in college at University of Moulmore. I have 40% shares in Sorenson Multimedia and will inherit all the inheritance left by my granddad and mom when I turn 25. But for now, I'm penniless. I need to marry someone. You in?"<br /> <br /> Isabella locked eyes with the guy. She was ticked off for sure, but she didn't give a flip. Her life's been no cakewalk. She fell hard for Zachary, and he didn't even say 'my bad' for stabbing her in the back.<br /> <br /> Her mom's parting advice to Isabella was to play it cool, to roll with the punches. For years, she put up with the drama and what'd she get? Zilch, just a slap in the face and zero backup.<br /> <br /> Isabella thought, 'I'd rather throw the baby out with the bathwater at this point. They're all drooling over my wealth and gearing up to rip me off, right? Fine! I'll marry someone random and not give them a dime!'<br /> <br /> Then, like clockwork, someone in the peanut gallery was like, "Holy cow! Did Isabella just lose it? What's she yapping about now? Poor Zachary."<br /> <br /> "Totally shameless! Just grabs a guy and pops the question? And after Zachary's folks bent over backwards to get her to forgive him!" added another voice.<br /> <br /> Chapter 3 It Is Him<br /> Isabella stood next to the stage, and everybody caught every word she said. Nathan, Terence, and the crowd beelined to her.<br /> <br /> "Isabella Sorenson! Have you flipped your lid?" Nathan's face was all red.<br /> <br /> "No kidding! What's that even mean?" Winona added, looking all shook up.<br /> <br /> "Are you crazy? You're practically giving away your assets by doing this!" Lorelai was devastated.<br /> <br /> Isabella completely ignored the people behind her and focused on the man before her. "Sir, do you hear me? Marry me, and you will have a fortune in three years. It's a bargain."<br /> <br /> The man's clear gaze met hers, and he chuckled. "You know, guys usually do the proposing." His voice was low and sexy.<br /> <br /> Isabella was speechless, the crowd zipped it for a hot second, then split their sides laughing. They figured he ditched her.<br /> <br /> Nathan almost couldn't resist the urge to storm forward and kick Isabella. "Isabella! Get back here right now!"<br /> <br /> The man's low voice sounded right after Nathan finished his sentence. "I'll marry you."<br /> <br /> Complete silence ensued.<br /> <br /> "My name is Clayton Murray. I'm 28 years old and single. I work at Rayson International. Ms. Isabella Sorenson, will you marry me?" Clayton fixed his gaze upon Isabella.<br /> <br /> Tears fell from Isabella's big eyes. "Thank you! Yes, I will!"<br /> <br /> Inside, she's throwing high fives to luck. Finally, she could breathe. Didn't matter who he was as long as she was pulling herself out of the quicksand.<br /> <br /> And just like that, the crowd went wild.<br /> <br /> "Say what? That's Clayton Murray from Rayson International?" someone gasped.<br /> <br /> "Whoa, the legendary second son of the Murray family?" someone else hollered.<br /> <br /> "No way! I heard Clayton doesn't mix with ladies. Could this be a fake?" somebody wondered.<br /> <br /> "Bummer. Mr. Murray's like a ghostโnever seen in public or snapping selfies. How can we even know if it's really him?" another person pitched in.<br /> <br /> "He looks legit. I mean, who would have the guts to fake being Mr. Murray? Plus, dude's got charmโI hear the real Clayton's a looker," came a comment from the crowd.<br /> <br /> Isabella dried her eyes and spun around to face the stage crowd. "Just to be clearโZachary and I are done. We're out of each other's lives. Next up, I'm marryingโ"<br /> <br /> She had to check with Clayton because she blanked on his name.<br /> <br /> "Clayton." He gave her a small grin.<br /> <br /> "Yeah, Clayton!" Isabella said, staring them down without a wince.<br /> <br /> Nathan boomed, "Hold up; you're the Clayton Murray?"<br /> <br /> Clayton just gave a cool nod. "That's me."<br /> <br /> Terence's expression darkened. He glared at Zachary and Scarlett, thinking, 'It's all this little punk's fault!'<br /> <br /> Megan and Yvonne were stunned. 'How's he so drop-dead gorgeous?' they wondered incredulously.<br /> <br /> Clayton swept his glance across the stage. "You all must be Isabella's family. Sorry for taking the liberty to announce our marriage in this way today. I'll pay you a visit someday."<br /> <br /> After saying that, he turned around and linked arms with Isabella, his tone gentle as he spoke to her. "Let's go. What's going on here is none of our business."<br /> <br /> "Mr. Murray, don't be fooled by Isabella! Over the years, she has been a nuisance, trying all means to curry favor with Zach just to get married to him. A woman even Zach has abandoned doesn't deserve you!" Megan shouted eagerly. ''I won't let Isabella have such an excellent man all to herself! I'm better than her. Mr. Murray should marry me. Isabella is nothing compared to me!' she thought.<br /> <br /> "Yes, Mr. Murray. Please wait! Isabella hasn't gotten my dad's permission." Yvonne's soft voice was filled with anxiety. She wasn't as foolish and reckless as Megan, but she, too, wanted Clayton to herself. 'Everyone will think Clayton and Isabella are engaged if they leave like this. I won't allow this! Such an outstanding man should be mine,' she mused.<br /> <br /> "Dad, say something! How can you let Isabella leave like this? Mr. Winslow hasn't agreed to cancel the engagement yet!" Yvonne urged.<br /> <br /> Nathan met his beloved daughter's gaze and cleared his throat. "Isabella! Come back!"<br /> <br /> Terence and Lorelai exchanged glances before the latter shouted, "Isabella, stop messing around. Come back and let's talk things out."<br /> <br /> Isabella tightened her fists, and Clayton patted her on the arm as reassurance.<br /> <br /> He stopped, turned around, and glanced at the people on the stage. "Thank you, Mr. Zachary Winslow, for falling in love with someone else and giving Isabella to me."<br /> <br /> Everyone, including Isabella, looked at Clayton in surprise.<br /> <br /> Gazing at Clayton's side profile, Isabella thought, 'I'm so lucky today. This random man that I chose supports me without hesitation.'<br /> <br /> Clayton then looked at Nathan. "Mr. Ingram, do you have a problem with your daughter marrying me?"<br /> <br /> His voice was gentle and calm, but his domineering aura made Nathan flinch.<br /> <br /> "Zachary, my stomach hurts." An anguished voice rang out at that moment. Scarlett, grabbing Zachary, held her stomach and bent over in pain.<br /> <br /> "Scarlett, what's wrong?" The anxiety and concern in Zachary's voice were obvious.<br /> <br /> Isabella's gaze dimmed, and her heart ached when she saw how much Zachary cared for Scarlett. Lorelai and Terence looked at Scarlett furiously.<br /> <br /> Scarlett admitted timidly, "I-I have been pregnant for two months."<br /> <br /> "What? A-Are you pregnant with Zachary's child?" Lorelai was in shock.<br /> <br /> Scarlett nodded in pain. "Zachary, my stomach hurts."<br /> <br /> Zachary panicked and said, "T-Then, what should we do?" He didn't expect Scarlett to be pregnant. He looked at Isabella below the stage and averted his gaze upon noticing her tear-filled eyes.<br /> <br /> Chapter 4 Conspiracy<br /> "What are you still standing around for? Quick, get her to the hospital. The child's safety comes first," Lorelai said urgently, placing her future grandchild's well-being above all else.<br /> <br /> Clayton covered his mouth and stifled a chuckle. "Even in this situation, you still want your daughter to marry into a family like this, Mr. Ingram? What exactly do you hope to gain from the Winslow family?"<br /> <br /> His words caused a visible shift in everyone's expression.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Nathan's expression was grim.<br /> <br /> Marrying Isabella to Zachary was a strategic move for both families. However, if Clayton was willing to wed Isabella, he would become Nathan's son-in-law, with Rayson International as Nathan's backing.<br /> <br /> The value of one hundred Avid Ventures Real Estate paled in comparison to Rayson International. In the face of years of friendship and mutual benefits, Nathan was torn between loyalty and opportunity. He was a businessman, and he knew what he wanted.<br /> <br /> Clayton saw the calculative glint in Nathan's eyes, turned to Isabella, and softly inquired, "Shall we go?"<br /> <br /> Isabella tore her eyes away from Zachary and Scarlett, nodding gently.<br /> <br /> She visited the graves of her granddad and mother, George and Irina Sorenson, tenderly wiping their photos clean with a tissue.<br /> <br /> "I'm sorry, Granddad, Mom. Zachary and I are no longer together. Our marriage won't be happening," she murmured.<br /> <br /> Caressing Irina's photo on the tombstone, she couldn't control her tears. "I've tried to heed your advice, Mom, enduring everything. But now, I'm at my wit's end. I'm only 22 years old, still too young to take over the company with my current ability," she confessed.<br /> <br /> "I thought things would be fine once I got married, but now..." Isabella muffled her sobs with her hand, her body trembling as she knelt before the tombstone, curled into a small ball of grief.<br /> <br /> Since Irina's passing, Isabella had learned to endure silently through countless trials, enduring disdain from Nathan, Winona, and Yvonne. Growing up in a home that no longer felt like hers was a constant struggle, yet she clung to the hope that marrying Zachary would bring her freedom. She believed that everything would soon be fine.<br /> <br /> When Nathan told her about the engagement party that was about to be held, Isabella was overjoyed. They had planned to get married after her university graduation the following year, and once that happened, she'd finally be free.<br /> <br /> Zachary was the man she loved dearly, and she believed the union arranged by George and Irina must be the best course. After all, Zachary was the guardian angel George and Irina had chosen for her.<br /> <br /> Throughout her childhood, Zachary had been her constant companion, treating her with great care.<br /> <br /> George passed away when Isabella was just eight years old, followed by Irina when Isabella turned ten, enveloping her world in hues of gray.<br /> <br /> When Isabella turned twelve, Zachary left for his studies abroad.<br /> <br /> Tearfully, Isabella clung to his hand, reluctant to let him go, fearful of losing the sole connection she had left to George and Irina.<br /> <br /> She vividly recalled Zachary's promise as he held her hand and said, "Isabella, wait for me. I will come back and marry you when I'm grown up." Those words echoed constantly in her mind.<br /> <br /> Throughout the years, Isabella dedicated herself entirely to Zachary. She nurtured their relationship meticulously, treasuring their brief annual reunions, and worked tirelessly to mold herself into the person he admired, adapting to his preferences.<br /> <br /> Despite enduring ridicule, sarcasm, and insults from Megan and Yvonne, she clung to the belief that everything would be fine after she married Zachary.<br /> <br /> Marrying Zachary had been Isabella's primary motivation and ultimate goal throughout those years. Every future scenario she envisioned concluded with her union with Zachary.<br /> <br /> She firmly believed that marrying him would breathe new life into her existence, heralding a fresh chapter and a brighter future.<br /> <br /> Whenever she faced punishment and was locked in a dark room, whenever she suffered from hunger, whenever she faced difficulties, the mere thought of that envisioned future fueled her with boundless courage.<br /> <br /> Alas, that hope was shattered. The day she had dreamed of would never materialize. The envisioned future dissolved, leaving behind a shattered world. Isabella felt as though her heart had been torn from her chest, leaving behind an agonizing void.<br /> <br /> After a long while of weeping silently, Isabella raised her head, wiping away tears with trembling hands, and pledged, "Granddad, Mom, from now on, I'll live for myself. I'll do my best to not let you down." Despite the pain, she knew that life must persist, regardless of the circumstances.<br /> <br /> As Isabella left the cemetery, the sun had already descended below the horizon.<br /> <br /> Clayton's car waited silently by the gate, catching Isabella off guard. Stepping out of the vehicle, Clayton opened the passenger seat door for her. She said in a low voice as she settled into the seat, "Thank you."<br /> <br /> Clayton got back in the car and glanced at Isabella. Her eyes and nose were red, and she looked exhausted. "Let's find a place for you to rest," Clayton suggested.<br /> <br /> Isabella shook her head, recognizing the inevitability of confronting what lay ahead. "Mr. Murray, thanks for your help today," she croaked, her voice strained from emotion.<br /> <br /> Clayton started the car and asked, "Where do you want to go?"<br /> <br /> "Could you please drive me home?" Isabella requested softly.<br /> <br /> After confirming the address, Clayton fell into silence as Isabella leaned against the window, closing her eyes for the journey home.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, at the Ingram residence, Nathan, Winona, and Yvonne sat facing each other on the couch in solemn silence.<br /> <br /> Breaking the silence, Yvonne implored, "Dad, you can't allow Isabella to marry Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> Nathan, having deliberated the matter during his return journey, felt a disquieting unease despite acknowledging the potential benefits of Isabella's union with Clayton. When pressed by Yvonne, he couldn't help but raise his gaze to meet hers, questioning, "Why?"<br /> <br /> Yvonne hesitated, not knowing what to say, thinking, 'I can't say I should be the one to marry Mr. Murray, right?' She glanced at Winona.<br /> <br /> Winona, pouring a cup of coffee for Nathan, said with composure, "Nate, it's widely known that Isabella and Zachary have been engaged to each other since childhood. Considering her background, it's not suitable for her to wed into the Murray family. Won't they look down on her?"<br /> <br /> Chapter 5 Stirring Up Trouble<br /> Nathan furrowed his brow in response, stating, "That's her decision to make. If she chooses to marry Mr. Murray, and if the Murrays look down on her, she only has herself to blame."<br /> <br /> Winona exchanged a meaningful glance with Yvonne before continuing, "While that may be true, she's still your daughter. If there's talk about her outside, it inevitably reflects on us as well. That's not good."<br /> <br /> Winona looked up at Nathan, who listened intently. "I'm not her biological mother, so I have no authority to discipline her," she began. "As you can see, she rarely communicates with us these years and has her own ideas. What happened today was saddening. She humiliated you in front of everyone. It's one thing for her to disrespect me over the years, but the way she treated you today was unacceptable. Despite my efforts, she only acknowledges Irina as her mother, thinking that we owe her."<br /> <br /> Tears welled up in Winona's eyes as she sniffled. "I know what you're thinking. A marriage of convenience with the Murray family will benefit the company greatly. However, if Isabella doesn't stand by you, then..."<br /> <br /> Her words trailed off, but her meaning was clear.<br /> <br /> Yvonne's gaze flickered as she inwardly praised her mother's wisdom. "Exactly, Dad. We can't squander resources. Even if Isabella married into the Winslow family, there's no guaranteeing she'll put in a good word for you. Your partnership with Mr. Winslow has been smooth-sailing, and that's based on your friendship with him, not Isabella's involvement," Yvonne chimed in.<br /> <br /> Nathan suddenly realized what had been bothering him. Isabella's defiance had caught him off guard. He desired a compliant daughter, not one with her own convictions. He glanced at them, took a sip of coffee, and asked in a deep voice, "So, what do you guys suggest?"<br /> <br /> Winona and Yvonne exchanged a glance. Winona gently proposed, "Nate, we can't trust Isabella, but we can rely on Yvonne. She's our biological daughter."<br /> <br /> Nathan's focus shifted to Yvonne, who appeared bashful. "Mom, we're talking about Isabella. Why bring me up?"<br /> <br /> Winona's expression grew stern. "Yvonne, I'm serious. You're our daughter. You can't just enjoy the privileges your father provides. You must share his burden, understand?" she chided.<br /> <br /> Yvonne straightened up, raising her hand in a playful gesture. "Yes, Mom, I understand. I'll be there for Dad whenever he needs me," she vowed with a smile.<br /> <br /> Nathan was reassured by her promise. Nodding, he remarked, "Winona, you've raised her well. Isabella, on the other hand, is truly disappointing."<br /> <br /> Winona smiled faintly, "My hands are tied. Anything I say as her stepmother could easily be misinterpreted as having ulterior motives."<br /> <br /> "Hmph! It's because she doesn't know what's best for her," Nathan snorted. Then, he frowned. "Are you suggesting that Yvonne should marry into the Murray family?"<br /> <br /> Winona nodded, affirming, "We can trust Yvonne. She's our sweetheart."<br /> <br /> "But Yvonne is only twenty," Nathan voiced his concern. He had always cherished Yvonne and had never contemplated marrying her off at such a young age.<br /> <br /> Knowing that he was wavering, Winona smiled reassuringly, "So what if she's twenty? We can arrange for the marriage now and wait for Yvonne to graduate from university before holding the wedding. That doesn't make much difference."<br /> <br /> Nathan cradled his forehead, contemplating her proposal.<br /> <br /> "Dad, if it benefits our family, I'm in. Trust me; I'll try my best to ensure our family's prosperity," Yvonne declared resolutely, biting her lip as if determined to sacrifice herself for the family.<br /> <br /> Nathan eventually nodded in agreement, which put a smile on Yvonne's face.<br /> <br /> However, Winona intervened softly, "But, Nate, we're not acquainted with Mr. Murray. Perhaps we'll need Isabella to introduce us?"<br /> <br /> Yvonne was taken aback, immediately objecting, "Why should she introduce us? As we saw today, she asked Mr. Murray to marry her on the spur of the moment. Mr. Murray agreed as soon as she mentioned it. So, why can't we approach him directly?"<br /> <br /> Yvonne considered herself superior to Isabella. She mused inwardly, 'In terms of appearance and figure, I'm much better than that country bumpkin. Why should Isabella, who's inferior to me, get to marry such a perfect man? Since Mr. Murray agreed to Isabella's proposal, he'd agree to mine too.'<br /> <br /> Nathan thought her words made sense and pondered for a moment. "Well, how about we pay a visit to Rayson International tomorrow?"<br /> <br /> Outside the Ingram residence, Clayton parked the car and glanced at Isabella who was already asleep in the passenger seat.<br /> <br /> It should've been her engagement party that day. She wore a white knee-length dress, her pinned-up hair already disheveled, with several strands hanging down. Her delicate face appeared particularly pale. She didn't change much since childhood. As she jumped down from the stage, Clayton was struck by the pain and resolution reflected in her eyes.<br /> <br /> 'It seems like she's been struggling all these years,' Clayton thought, tenderly tucking her hair behind her ear.<br /> <br /> Isabella's long lashes quivered slightly as she stirred awake at his touch, momentarily confused upon seeing Clayton.<br /> <br /> "Are you awake?" Clayton asked gently.<br /> <br /> Isabella blinked, and the memories of what happened flooded back. She took a deep breath, attempting to quell the overwhelming pain pulsating through her veins.<br /> <br /> Gazing toward the Ingram residence, she was enveloped by a chilling coldness. This place had been her home, yet since the age of ten, she felt like a superfluous presence there.<br /> <br /> Previously, Zachary's presence had somewhat eased the void left by George and Irina. However, at present, she was all alone.<br /> <br /> The gate of the residence was like a gaping maw, ready to devour her and the legacy of George and Irina at any moment.<br /> <br /> "Do you need me to go in there with you?" Clayton asked softly, observing Isabella, who was staring into space.<br /> <br /> Isabella slowly shook her head. Staring directly ahead, she spoke to Clayton in a composed but distant manner. "Mr. Murray, can we make a deal? I need to leave this place now, but they won't allow me to rent a house independently. Our school's in the middle of renovations, and once the new semester kicks off, students like us who are in the senior year will have to find internship positions on our own, and we can no longer live in dorms. The only option left for me is to get married. Once I get married, I can leave for good."<br /> <br /> Clayton tightened his grip on the steering wheel.<br /> <br /> "I propose we marry, and I'll move into your residence. I'll reside there and pay you rent. If I face financial constraints, I'll provide you with a promissory note. I've mentioned that I'll inherit some assets after turning twenty-five. At that point, I'll settle all my debts to you. Then, we'll proceed with divorce proceedings, and I'll allocate half of the inheritance I receive to you as compensation for marrying me now," Isabella explained.<br /> <br /> Chapter 6 Realization<br /> Isabella declared resolutely, "I will draft a formal agreement stating our rights and responsibilities. Our union will only be a sham marriage. Should you happen to develop feelings for someone else during this time, I ask that you wait until we've been married for at least a year before seeking a divorce. I assure you, my commitment to our arrangement stands firm, and you will receive every cent of your compensation as promised. With this agreement in place, we can ensure fairness for both parties."<br /> <br /> Noticing a pen and paper tucked under the armrest, Isabella grabbed them, jotting down her phone number before passing it to Clayton. "Here is my contact information. Take your time to ponder my proposal; however, I expect your response within three days. Do not delay." With that, Isabella exited the car and left, leaving Clayton staring at the note in his hand blankly.<br /> <br /> Her decisiveness left Clayton momentarily stunned.<br /> <br /> He couldn't help chuckling as he watched Isabella walk away in determined strides. "Isabella, I'm back. I'll stand by your side no matter what you do," Clayton murmured, thinking, 'I'll let her do whatever she wants. Whatever happens, I'll clean up after her.' Even if she didn't know who he was, Nathan did. Nathan'd never dare to lay a hand on her.<br /> <br /> *****<br /> <br /> Dinner was served in a peaceful ambiance.<br /> <br /> "Ms. Sorenson, you've returned." One of the maids, Elsie Anderson, was surprised to see Isabella.<br /> <br /> Isabella paid no heed to the mix of surprise and disdain the other three were displaying. "Dad, Winona." Dipping her head, she greeted them before settling at the table, accepting the soup bowl offered by Elsie.<br /> <br /> She hadn't eaten anything since morning and was starving. Clayton had suggested taking her to dinner earlier, but she had declined. She would have to face this sooner or later, so why delay it?<br /> <br /> "Isabella, why are you only back now? Mom and Dad were too worried to eat," Yvonne said, sharing a meaningful glance with Winona.<br /> <br /> Nathan's expression darkened.<br /> <br /> Isabella finished her soup and put down the spoon. Disregarding the cold leftovers on the table, she explained, "I went to visit Grandpa and Mom. I needed to inform them that Zachary and I have called off our engagement."<br /> <br /> Nathan sneered, "And they didn't reprimand you?"<br /> <br /> Isabella lowered her head in silence.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, you've pissed your dad off today. How could you embarrass him in front of everyone?" Winona said softly.<br /> <br /> "Mom, don't blame Isabella. Remember, she's the eldest daughter of the Sorenson family and the designated heiress of Sorenson Multimedia. Dad wouldn't hold it against her. Who knows what those shareholders might say if he did?" Yvonne interjected, stealing glances at Nathan.<br /> <br /> Nathan's expression darkened further as his gaze bore into Isabella.<br /> <br /> Isabella quietly ate the food Elsie gave her. She had gotten used to such drama. Winona and Yvonne always sowed discord between her and Nathan. Then, endless insults would ensue that would sometimes escalate into physical abuse.<br /> <br /> She was a Sorenson, and her father was an Ingram. That was one of her sins.<br /> <br /> Nathan didn't lose his temper. Instead, he snorted derisively before leaving the dining room.<br /> <br /> Winona shot a glance and Yvonne and Isabella before following Nathan out.<br /> <br /> As soon as her parents left, Yvonne abandoned her facade of dignity. Casting a scornful glance at Isabella, who remained meek and reserved as always, she said sarcastically, "I'm amazed you still have the nerve to stay alive. If I were in your shoes, I'd have put an end to it all by now. Maybe flung myself into a river or hung myself. Anything's better than living like this. Your fiancรฉ despises you and cheats on you with your closest friend. Aren't you devastated? How do you even have an appetite?"<br /> <br /> After taking the final bite, Isabella met Yvonne's gaze with indifference. "I've found someone willing to wed me."<br /> <br /> Yvonne scoffed, "Wake up, will you? Do you honestly believe you're the eldest daughter of the Sorenson family?"<br /> <br /> Isabella merely looked at her coldly. Yvonne often carried herself with elegance and composure in public. Isabella was perhaps the only person who had seen her true colors.<br /> <br /> She thought, 'Does Yvonne ever get tired of pretending? I pretend to be indifferent and weak because Winona and Yvonne forced me to, but no one's forcing Yvonne. So why is she pretending?'<br /> <br /> "What're you looking at?" Yvonne bellowed at Isabella. Isabella's charming face never failed to anger her. 'Why does she get all the luck? A wealthy grandfather and mother, and even that envy-inducing face!' she seethed inwardly.<br /> <br /> Yvonne sent her plate hurtling toward Isabella.<br /> <br /> Isabella rose from her seat, narrowly dodging the plate as it crashed to the ground.<br /> <br /> "What's wrong?" Winona asked loudly.<br /> <br /> Yvonne glared at Isabella.<br /> <br /> Normally, Isabella would've quickly apologized to Winona, saying she had accidentally broken the plate. Yet, today, Isabella simply turned to face the incensed Yvonne in silence.<br /> <br /> Elsie interjected fearfully, "Mrs. Ingram, I'm sorry; I accidentally dropped a plate."<br /> <br /> Both Isabella and Yvonne looked at Elsie at the same time.<br /> <br /> Yvonne shot daggers at Elsie before exiting the dining room.<br /> <br /> Elsie tugged at Isabella's arm, whispering, "Ms. Sorenson, just endure it. This too shall pass."<br /> <br /> Endure. It was a mantra instilled in Isabella since childhood by Elsie and also what her late mother said to her. Today, however, she realized that enduring only made things worse.<br /> <br /> Isabella hurried to the bathroom, changing out of the dress and cleansing herself of the shame it carried. She then returned to her room on the second floor, a windowless storeroom bereft of sunlight year-round. She even had to use the maid's bathroom. Besides Elsie, no one would regard her as the family's eldest daughter.<br /> <br /> The luxurious room that her grandfather and mother decorated was handed over to Yvonne just a month after Winona and Yvonne's arrival. Isabella's living quarters changed each time she made a "mistake" until she found herself relegated to the storeroom, a decision that satisfied Winona and Yvonne at last.<br /> <br /> This was the consequence of endurance.<br /> <br /> Isabella curled up on the cramped bed, the air stifling and hot. The wind could only filter in when the door was opened. Yet, she didn't want to move, let alone open the door.<br /> <br /> Isabella closed her eyes, the events of the day replaying in her mind. She watched them unfold once more like a distant observer.<br /> <br /> The moment Zachary started dating Scarlett remained a mystery to her.<br /> <br /> Since Zachary's return from abroad, he started work in his family's company, leaving little opportunity for him and Isabella to spend time together. Isabella was never one to inconvenience others, so she never interrupted Zachary's work. Understanding his desire for a compliant girlfriend, she made every effort to fit that mold.<br /> <br /> Ever since Zachary returned, the two families celebrated festivals together, which Isabella enjoyed.<br /> <br /> Zachary didn't treat her poorly or particularly well, but he and Yvonne were tight. They got along well, even though Zachary used to dislike Yvonne as a kid.<br /> <br /> Chapter 7 Truth<br /> Today, Scarlett claimed Isabella had forgiven them, which was nonsense. Isabella didn't know anything about their affair.<br /> <br /> Isabella wondered, 'Why would she say that? Was it to make Zachary turn against me? If that's the case, it's obvious who played the video. However, Scarlett isn't stupid. There are so many ways to let me know, so why did she choose this one? Doing so will only cause her more harm than good. Oh, right, because doing so makes it seem like my handiwork. No one will suspect Scarlett of selling herself out. As for Zachary, he is always on Scarlett's side. He never admitted his mistake or apologized. He kept emphasizing that Scarlett is my good friend and that I should be nice to her. Zachary, am I being nice to her by letting you go? Why do you take everything I do for granted?'<br /> <br /> Isabella's heart ached as she recalled the tender look Zachary reserved for Scarlett.<br /> <br /> Zachary had never looked at her like that before. 'I'm just not worth his affection, huh?' she pondered.<br /> <br /> Lorelai's words hit Isabella like a sudden storm. Throughout the years, Lorelai treated Isabella well. Isabella once believed she was sincere and even vowed to take good care of Lorelai after the marriage.<br /> <br /> However, it turned out that Lorelai valued her social status and assets. That was probably her second original sin.<br /> <br /> Isabella held a significant 40% stake in Sorenson Multimedia, making her the company's largest shareholder. However, because of her youth, all the dividends from this ownership were directed into a trust established by her grandfather, which remained inaccessible until she reached the age of 25. She wouldn't receive her inheritance from her grandfather and mother until that time.<br /> <br /> Today, she finally realized that the Winslow family's acceptance of her wasn't based on genuine affection or sympathy for her loss of her mother. It also wasn't due to their acquaintance with her late mother and grandfather either. Instead, it was because of the assets she would eventually possess.<br /> <br /> They were kind to her because of her assets, and cruel to her for the same reason.<br /> <br /> Nathan had always been eyeing the property Isabella could inherit, especially because Yvonne didn't have any. When Isabella turned 18, Nathan deemed her old enough to handle her inheritance. He once pressured her to draft a document pledging half of the property to Yvonne. However, his plan was thwarted when the lawyer and four key company shareholders intervened.<br /> <br /> George and Irina foresaw the possibility of someone coveting the assets and therefore imposed an age restriction of 25. At 18, Isabella didn't have the authority to transfer her future assets.<br /> <br /> Nathan had married into the Sorenson family, so any child he had with Irina must carry the Sorenson name, while offspring from other relationships would not inherit this family name.<br /> <br /> Thus, Isabella was the only heiress of the Sorenson family.<br /> <br /> Furthermore, if Nathan decided to transfer his shares to Yvonne rather than Isabella, the four main investors would pull out their money from Sorenson Multimedia. The company had always been in the hands of the Sorenson family, and it would stay that way.<br /> <br /> If the major investors withdrew their support, the company would collapse, as Nathan's 30% stake alone wouldn't be enough to sustain it. Nathan's family eventually gave up on their plan.<br /> <br /> Instead of trying to butter Isabella up to get their way, they chose to resent her even more. Isabella couldn't help but admire them for that, for they didn't yield in the face of greed.<br /> <br /> Another way to access her wealth was by letting her marry Zachary.<br /> <br /> In this scenario, her property would serve as her dowry, to be shared with the Winslow family upon marriage. Given Isabella's infatuation with Zachary, she would likely agree to this arrangement. Consequently, Nathan collaborated with the Winslow family on various investment and development endeavors in recent years, aiming to reap the maximum benefits in due time.<br /> <br /> "Grandpa, Mom, 25 isn't a safe age either. If I were an idiot, I'd still be an idiot at 25 years old," Isabella murmured.<br /> <br /> Luckily, misfortune wasn't the only thing the heavens bestowed upon her. At least Zachary found his true love. She wondered if that had anything to do with divine intervention.<br /> <br /> Getting out of bed, she used a nearby book to fan herself.<br /> <br /> 'Time to draw up a contract for Clayton. If he's sensible, he'll agree to my terms,' she thought. Isabella needed to move out as soon as possible. She had neither the energy nor the mood to deal with Yvonne and Winona's tricks anymore.<br /> <br /> They wouldn't let her rent a place outside, because that would make it hard for them to control her. Also, that would bring disgrace upon the Sorenson family. The only escape route left was to get married.<br /> <br /> The identity of her partner hardly mattered, as long as he was a true gentleman. She would draft a pact, ensuring her safety and rights were protected. And in return, she would offer him the benefits he rightly deserved, for he would be her savior.<br /> <br /> She needed to find a place to settle down and focus on earning money, aiming to gather 300 thousand dollars within a year to finance her studies in Upria for the next five years. It wasn't much, but she could continue earning while studying.<br /> <br /> Her future needed replanning. This time, she was on her own, and she vowed to protect herself from harm.<br /> <br /> The next morning, Nathan took Yvonne to Rayson International. As they stood outside the towering structure, Yvonne was exhilarated.<br /> <br /> Amidst the bustling heart of the city, the building stood tall and majestic. The employees were in a hurry, but their demeanor radiated confidence and pride unmatched by those of other companies.<br /> <br /> A smile crept onto Yvonne's face as she envisioned herself as the owner of this impressive building and the wife of its esteemed boss, overseeing these elite professionals in the future.<br /> <br /> Clayton accepted the document from his assistant, Johnny Lawton, signing it before instructing, "Get in touch with Kayson and have him find a place for me near University of Moulmore. Something around 1,000 square feet, suitable for two people, and fully equipped with all the essentials."<br /> <br /> Johnny answered, "Okay."<br /> <br /> Seeing that Clayton was reading a contract, Johnny called Kayson.<br /> <br /> After a while, Kayson entered. "Boss, what do you think about Moonlight Apartment near University of Moulmore? It's just a ten-minute stroll from the campus, and boasts a thriving community with all the amenities you could need."<br /> <br /> Clayton thought for a moment, but the name didn't ring a bell. "Okay. Go ahead and purchase a unit."<br /> <br /> Kayson laughed, "Boss, that's our property. You reserved a suite for yourself on the 28th floor. I was wondering why you never brought it up again. Turns out you forgot."<br /> <br /> Johnny glared at him. "Cut the crap and get it sorted already."<br /> <br /> Clayton glanced at Kayson but remained silent. Kayson stuck out his tongue playfully, heading toward the door. "Boss, will you be living alone or will Mr. Maguire be joining you?"<br /> <br /> Without looking up, Clayton responded, "It'll be me and my wife."<br /> <br /> Chapter 8 Will You Marry Me Instead?<br /> Clayton continued working on the document while Johnny and Kayson stiffened. Johnny, usually collected, also stared at Clayton in disbelief.<br /> <br /> Kayson's mouth hung open. "Y-You and who, Boss?"<br /> <br /> Clayton glanced up at them, answering flatly, "My wife. Do you have a hearing problem?"<br /> <br /> Kayson gaped in shock at Clayton, who kept working, then turned to the equally dumbfounded Johnny.<br /> <br /> Another assistant, Weston Quinn, entered the office. "Mr. Murray, Mr. Nathan Ingram and his daughter are here to see you."<br /> <br /> Clayton didn't look up. "Did they make an appointment?"<br /> <br /> Weston shook his head. "No, but he mentioned Isabella Sorenson. Said you'd know right away."<br /> <br /> Clayton's head snapped up at once. "All right, bring them up."<br /> <br /> Weston was stunned, for he seemed to have caught a glimpse of a smile on Clayton's face.<br /> <br /> However, he blinked and thought his eyes must've been playing tricks. Noticing how Kayson was rooted in his spot, Weston presumed Kayson had been lectured again and hurriedly turned to leave.<br /> <br /> Clayton glimpsed at Kayson. "Why are you still here?"<br /> <br /> Kayson jolted out of his daze, murmuring, "T-This feels too surreal..."<br /> <br /> Clayton glanced at Johnny, who quickly composed himself, clenched his fists, and cleared his throat before saying, "This information is somewhat... unexpected. It's only normal that Kay needs a moment to process it, Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> Johnny then glared at Kayson. "What are you still waiting for? Go get it done."<br /> <br /> Promptly, Kayson exited the room, still looking thunderstruck.<br /> <br /> He had just shut the door when he saw Hendrix Henderson working in the personal assistants' office. "Hens, let me pinch you and see if it hurts!" Kayson reached for Hendrix's handsome face, but Hendrix swatted Kayson's hand away with a folder.<br /> <br /> "Oh, get lost. Pinch yourself." Hendrix scowled. "What's the matter with you this early in the morning? You got scolded again? You were in there for so long."<br /> <br /> Kayson retracted his throbbing hand in a heartbeat. "Ouch, that hurts! So this isn't a dream!"<br /> <br /> Hendrix rolled his eyes, used to how Kayson would act up at least a few times a day.<br /> <br /> All four of Clayton's personal assistants were men. Johnny had been with Clayton the longest and resembled Clayton most, as cold and aloof. Weston and Hendrix, while mostly reserved, still wore their emotions on their faces from time to time. As for Kayson, he was the lone constant jokester of the group.<br /> <br /> Kayson looked at Hendrix intently. "Do you have any idea what I was tasked with?"<br /> <br /> Hendrix couldn't be bothered to answer, knowing Kayson would continue talking regardless of whether there was any response.<br /> <br /> Kayson's Adam's apple bobbed. "Boss told me to buy him an apartment. He said it's for him and his wife."<br /> <br /> Hendrix's fingers that were flying over the keyboard froze. "Are you still half-asleep? You must've heard wrong, and so absurd at that. Watch yourself, or Johnny will come give you an earful!"<br /> <br /> Kayson snatched the folder from Hendrix and insisted, "It's true! Johnny is in there. He heard it too. Ask him if you don't believe me."<br /> <br /> Before Hendrix could reply, they spotted Weston leading Nathan and Yvonne over. Kayson's eyes widened at the sight of Yvonne while he nudged Hendrix.<br /> <br /> Hendrix looked over, thinking, 'My, isn't she a beauty? What's going on here? Could she be the "wife" that Boss was referring to?'<br /> <br /> Weston was perplexed when he caught sight of the duo's transfixed gazes. 'What's up with those two? Why do they look so stunned?' he wondered.<br /> <br /> Yvonne had been pumped up the moment she stepped into the lobby. The low-key yet lavish interior of Rayson International made the Sorenson Multimedia and the Winslow family's Avid Ventures Real Estate that she was familiar with seem like night and day.<br /> <br /> As she expected, meeting Clayton was no easy feat. Clayton never entertained visitors without appointments despite Nathan making his identity known.<br /> <br /> Luckily, Isabella's name had worked in their favor. 'Looks like he still remembers yesterday's incident. In that case, he will surely recognize me, too. The gown I wore was tailor-made and cost ten times more than Isabella's, practically making me the star of the event. There's no way he'll forget my pretty face,' she mused in glee.<br /> <br /> Yvonne's heart raced involuntarily when she saw Clayton's assistant coming to escort them upstairs. She thought giddily, 'My goodness, Weston's quite the looker. What a pity that he isn't pursuing a celebrity career.'<br /> <br /> They had taken the private elevator up to Clayton's office, where another two astonished yet dashing men stood by the entrance. Yvonne was beyond thrilled on the inside, confident they were amazed by her beauty. 'I knew it. No one will overlook my looks with Isabella absent. See, even Mr. Murray's assistants are mesmerized by me,' she pondered, brimming with confidence and anticipation.<br /> <br /> After Weston knocked on the door, a deep voice rang out from inside. "Come in."<br /> <br /> Weston opened the door and politely gestured for Nathan and Yvonne to enter. "Mr. and Ms. Ingram are here, Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> Clayton looked up, his gaze and voice turning cold as he questioned Weston, "Didn't you say Ms. Isabella Sorenson was here?"<br /> <br /> Weston turned quizzically to Nathan.<br /> <br /> Nathan was all smiles as he stepped forward eagerly. "Hello, Mr. Murray! I'm Nathan Ingram. Isabella's my daughter."<br /> <br /> Clayton did not get up or spare a glance at Nathan's extended hand. "Where's Isabella?"<br /> <br /> Nathan awkwardly retracted his hand. "Ah, Isabella. She's, uh..."<br /> <br /> "Mr. Murray, my sister wanted us to inform you that she can't marry you," Yvonne chimed in gently while staring at Clayton.<br /> <br /> Clayton arched an eyebrow at the father-daughter duo.<br /> <br /> Nathan clenched his fist at his side and said solemnly, "That's right. We've come to explain the situation. Isabella is already engaged, so she can't marry you. But I have anotherโ"<br /> <br /> "Mr. Ingram!" Clayton interrupted frigidly. "Hasn't it already been made clear to everyone yesterday? Isabella called off the engagement with her ex-fiancรฉ and asked me to marry her. If she wants to go back on her word, she'll have to tell me herself!"<br /> <br /> Nathan's face fell as it dawned on him that Clayton was serious about the marriage.<br /> <br /> Yvonne became anxious. "I don't think you understand, Mr. Murray. Her and Zachary's marriage contract is set in stone. It was personally arranged by her mother. Isabella can't call the shots!"<br /> <br /> Clayton leaned back, arms crossed. "Oh? How about me, then? Mr. Ingram, as I said yesterday, nobody has dared to stop me from doing anything I want. Have you forgotten that, or did you choose not to believe me?"<br /> <br /> Clayton stared at Nathan, who instinctively lowered his head in the face of Clayton's overwhelmingly imposing aura. A shiver ran down Nathan's spine. "O-Of course not, Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> "Then what are you doing here now?" Clayton's voice was utterly icy.<br /> <br /> Yvonne boldly met his eyes. "Mr. Murray, I'm Yvonne Ingram, 20 this year, currently a sophomore at the University of Moulmore, majoring in economics and management, and future heiress to Sorenson Multimedia. Will you marry me instead?" She had dressed to the nines to meet him today, convinced that she could catch his fancy. | Endless Stories | 206 | https://facebook.com/61555726498427 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

The young billionaire whispered with his hand grabbing Isabella's, who was in a wedding gown.<br /> "Do you need me to help you seek revenge? Whether it's the scumbag who betrayed you or your stepmother, they're nothing in front of me."<br /> Isabella looked at the handsome man in front of her and nodded.<br /> "Marry me, and we'll let them regret it for the rest of their lives."<br /> <br /> Chapter 1 Betrayal<br /> Up on the massive screen, a couple in their birthday suits were all tangled up, getting hot and heavy, and the surround sound was blasting every moan and breath.<br /> <br /> The lady had curves for days and her skin was mad smooth. Then there came a close-up of their faces.<br /> <br /> Isabella Sorenson was struck dumb, staring up at the screen, and she felt like she'd just been punched in the gut. The naked couple were none other than her main squeeze Zachary Winslow and her bestie Scarlett Pearson.<br /> <br /> And no joke, they were both right there next to her because today was supposed to be Isabella and Zachary's engagement party.<br /> <br /> Just a second before, that screen was showing cute throwbacks of Zachary and Isabella growing up together, while some dude was talking all mushy about it. It went from little Isabella at three to Zachary at seven, and then instead of more childhood pictures, the screen switched to the hookup video.<br /> <br /> "Ah!" Scarlett let out a scream and threw her arms around Zachary.<br /> <br /> Now, if anybody was still clueless about who were up on that screen, everything was out in the open. While Isabella was stuck on the spot, Zachary was hugging Scarlett.<br /> <br /> The whole place exploded with whispers and gasps.<br /> <br /> "Yo, ain't that Isabella's ride-or-die?" one guest whispered.<br /> <br /> "Seriously, Ms. Sorenson got played?" chimed in another.<br /> <br /> "Yo, check out that bod!" somebody else hollered.<br /> <br /> "What's going on?" Isabella's father, Nathan Ingram, was freaking out, trying to cover up the screen, but this screen was enormous. Though he was like pushing six feet, he looked straight-up silly trying to block it.<br /> <br /> Terence Winslow, Zachary's father, was beet red but he bolted toward the control room to turn off the screen.<br /> <br /> Scarlett, her eyes leaking like a faucet, hit Isabella with the puppy dog eyes. "Isabella, didn't you pinky swear to let this go? I promised I'd ditch Zachary and leave town the second you're engaged. Why you gotta blast this now? Are you trying to ruin me?"<br /> <br /> When Scarlett clung to Zachary, he looked kinda red-faced but went wide-eyed the second he heard what Scarlett said. Holding her firmly, he asked, "What are you saying, Scarlett? Isabella forced you to leave?"<br /> <br /> It was as if a bomb had detonated within Isabella's mind, leaving her stunned and disoriented. She stared blankly at Zachary, her childhood sweetheart. Ever since she could remember, Isabella had made up her mind to spend the rest of her life with Zachary.<br /> <br /> 'When did he and Scarlett become a thing? And when did I ever agree not to pursue this matter? What's going on here? What are they talking about?' Isabelle wondered.<br /> <br /> "How could you be so vicious, setting up your own fiancรฉ and best friend?" Zachary's sister, Megan Winslow, shoved Isabella on the shoulder.<br /> <br /> Isabella, in a daze, didn't see that coming and staggered backward until she ended up right beside Nathan.<br /> <br /> Nathan was filled with fury. Raising his hand, he slapped her in the face. "Look at what you've done! You've brought disgrace upon both our families!"<br /> <br /> Before Isabella could even regain her balance, she was knocked to the ground by the slap. Zachary grew anxious and instinctively wanted to help her up, but Scarlett tightened her grip on his arm.<br /> <br /> Isabella turned and caught a glance of the smugness in Scarlett's eyes.<br /> <br /> "How can you hit your child? Come on, get up, Isabella." A voice was heard as a pair of hands helped Isabella to her feet.<br /> <br /> Terence sighed, "Isabella, don't blame your father. What you did was really out of line."<br /> <br /> Lorelai Winslow, Zachary's mother, pointed at Scarlett and said, "Where did you come from? You must have seduced my son. Get out of here! I'll never let you become part of our family!"<br /> <br /> Scarlett hid behind Zachary like a scared puppy.<br /> <br /> Zachary positioned himself protectively in front of Scarlett, his voice firm as he addressed his mother. "Mom, don't blame Scarlett. Isabella, she's your best friend. You can't push her to the brink like this!"<br /> <br /> With Terence's support, Isabella finally got back to her feet. A solitary tear traced its path down her cheek. As she gazed up at Zachary, the man she had loved for most of her life, she realized he had become a stranger in the blink of an eye.<br /> <br /> 'Scarlett's supposed to be my best friend. He knows that. They play me and now it's my bad?' she thought.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, I can't even with you. Zach, how can you tie the knot with her? After you're hitched, who knows what stories she'll spin? Can't trust her. Not one bit!" Megan was throwing shade at Isabella before turning to Zachary, all concerned.<br /> <br /> Megan had been in the same class as Isabella back in high school, but they never really hit it off. Megan always teamed up with Yvonne Ingram to give Isabella a hard time. Plus, Megan detested the idea of Isabella becoming part of her family.<br /> <br /> "Zip it! Isabella is the eldest daughter of the esteemed Sorenson family. And who's that chick? Does she possess the same standing as Isabella? How could the Winslow family be cool with letting just anyone in?" Lorelai snapped off, not realizing she was pretty loud.<br /> <br /> Lorelai wasn't Isabella's number one fan, but she was all about that social ladder. Having Isabella marry in was like a major level-up for Zachary. No other high-class family had a daughter that could touch Isabella's status. Plus, Isabella was the kind of person one could sway pretty easy.<br /> <br /> So yeah, Lorelai had to make it crystal clearโthey couldn't let Isabella slip away.<br /> <br /> At first, Isabella kind of felt thankful to her future mother-in-law for stepping up, but then it hit her why she really did it.<br /> <br /> "Yes! Isabella, you're the eldest daughter of the Sorenson family. You should consider the reputations of the Sorenson family, the Ingram family, and the Winslow family before doing this!" Yvonne chimed in, looking all stressed.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, you've just crushed your dad. His heart's in pieces," Winona said, sounding all sweet but sad.<br /> <br /> Winona and Yvonne dropping those lines just made Nathan and Terence pull grumpier faces. 'She's gotta grow up. Can't be airing our dirty laundry like this!' they thought.<br /> <br /> Chapter 2 Proposal<br /> Isabella looked at the people around her.<br /> <br /> Her father, Nathan, was boiling mad.<br /> <br /> Her stepmother, Winona, and her half-sister, Yvonne, were getting a kick out of the drama.<br /> <br /> Her future father-in-law Terence was just shaking his head, and future mother-in-law Lorelai was cringing.<br /> <br /> Her would-be sister-in-law Megan was glaring holes through her.<br /> <br /> Her fiancรฉ, Zachary, didn't know what to do. In his arms was the pitiful woman, Scarlett, who was once her best friend.<br /> <br /> These folks were Isabella's whole world. And just like that, the world flipped, leaving Isabella as the one everyone was pointing fingers at.<br /> <br /> Isabella brushed away the tears and said lightly, "I hereby announce that Zachary Winslow and Isabella Sorenson's marriage contract has been canceled. We have nothing to do with each other from now on. I wish you happiness!" Then she bounced off the stage.<br /> <br /> Her dad Nathan jumped in, "Hold up, you think it's just up to you? You and Zachary were a done deal before you were even a twinkle. Don't even try to ditch this without my say-so!" Nathan had always been tough on Isabella, mostly because having Isabella around was a constant reminder that he was kind of a live-in son-in-law and his kids had to take their mom's last name. Big-time embarrassment for a guy who made it big.<br /> <br /> "And Isabella, cool it, will ya? Zachary messed up, and we'll make him say sorry. This marriage thing wasn't just your call, it's our families' deal. Don't go and have a meltdown. I got your back," Terence tried to smooth things over.<br /> <br /> Then he whirled around and snapped at Zachary, "Zachary! Drop that girl already!"<br /> <br /> Zachary looked like he didn't know what hit him.<br /> <br /> Scarlett, all tears and drama, shoved Zachary away. "Go after Isabella, Zachary. My bad, it's all on me. I'm no match for Isabella. I'm sorry, Isabella. Forgive me, okay? Don't go."<br /> <br /> Zachary just stood there, silent as a ghost.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, hold it! Are you deaf?" Nathan was beside himself with rage. He thought, 'She's always done what I said, like a perfect little robot. Why's she ignoring orders today?'<br /> <br /> Isabella stopped cold, her hands balled into fists so tight they hurt. She spun around to face Nathan.<br /> <br /> Now Nathan got real. "Come on, it's nothing. Why you making a big deal? Zachary and his folks are cool now. What more do you need? Who else would deal with your drama? You gotta see where your bread's buttered!"<br /> <br /> Isabella just felt this chill and said real slow, "He deserves better than me. I'll find someone else, no biggie."<br /> <br /> Nathan lost it, "Who else would even look at you?"<br /> <br /> But Isabella, she didn't even flinch. Shoulders back, head high, she walked right out the door.<br /> <br /> The crowd was eating up the drama like it was prime-time TV.<br /> <br /> Zachary and Isabella's engagement was like the hot gossip among the rich folks. Their families were tight, and with Isabella and Zachary set to tie the knot, the business was booming.<br /> <br /> The engagement party was just for show. They were heading for the altar anyway. But then, the plot thickened like in a soap opera.<br /> <br /> Zachary did Isabella dirty with her own bestie. Feeling burned, Isabella put them on blast right there in front of everyone.<br /> <br /> Instead of feeling sorry for her, people were ragging on Isabella. She was pretty shaken up when she realized that nobody seemed to care about her side of the story. But could she really get mad when her own dad dissed her too?<br /> <br /> Isabella stepped down from the stage and nearly took a spill in her killer heels. Just in time, one guy reached out and saved her from a faceplant.<br /> <br /> "Thanks," Isabella mumbled, looking down.<br /> <br /> A chill voice came from up top, "Watch your step."<br /> <br /> Isabella regained her balance, raised her head, and met a pair of deep, calm eyes. She was momentarily stunned, charmed by the handsome face before her. This guy was something elseโstrong brows, dark blue eyes, the works. He was all smiles and chill vibes.<br /> <br /> She took a breath and laid it all out there, completely honest. "Hi! Are you single?"<br /> <br /> He was stunned but nodded.<br /> <br /> Ignoring the crowd's shocked gasps, Isabella was like, "I'm Isabella Sorenson, 22, still in college at University of Moulmore. I have 40% shares in Sorenson Multimedia and will inherit all the inheritance left by my granddad and mom when I turn 25. But for now, I'm penniless. I need to marry someone. You in?"<br /> <br /> Isabella locked eyes with the guy. She was ticked off for sure, but she didn't give a flip. Her life's been no cakewalk. She fell hard for Zachary, and he didn't even say 'my bad' for stabbing her in the back.<br /> <br /> Her mom's parting advice to Isabella was to play it cool, to roll with the punches. For years, she put up with the drama and what'd she get? Zilch, just a slap in the face and zero backup.<br /> <br /> Isabella thought, 'I'd rather throw the baby out with the bathwater at this point. They're all drooling over my wealth and gearing up to rip me off, right? Fine! I'll marry someone random and not give them a dime!'<br /> <br /> Then, like clockwork, someone in the peanut gallery was like, "Holy cow! Did Isabella just lose it? What's she yapping about now? Poor Zachary."<br /> <br /> "Totally shameless! Just grabs a guy and pops the question? And after Zachary's folks bent over backwards to get her to forgive him!" added another voice.<br /> <br /> Chapter 3 It Is Him<br /> Isabella stood next to the stage, and everybody caught every word she said. Nathan, Terence, and the crowd beelined to her.<br /> <br /> "Isabella Sorenson! Have you flipped your lid?" Nathan's face was all red.<br /> <br /> "No kidding! What's that even mean?" Winona added, looking all shook up.<br /> <br /> "Are you crazy? You're practically giving away your assets by doing this!" Lorelai was devastated.<br /> <br /> Isabella completely ignored the people behind her and focused on the man before her. "Sir, do you hear me? Marry me, and you will have a fortune in three years. It's a bargain."<br /> <br /> The man's clear gaze met hers, and he chuckled. "You know, guys usually do the proposing." His voice was low and sexy.<br /> <br /> Isabella was speechless, the crowd zipped it for a hot second, then split their sides laughing. They figured he ditched her.<br /> <br /> Nathan almost couldn't resist the urge to storm forward and kick Isabella. "Isabella! Get back here right now!"<br /> <br /> The man's low voice sounded right after Nathan finished his sentence. "I'll marry you."<br /> <br /> Complete silence ensued.<br /> <br /> "My name is Clayton Murray. I'm 28 years old and single. I work at Rayson International. Ms. Isabella Sorenson, will you marry me?" Clayton fixed his gaze upon Isabella.<br /> <br /> Tears fell from Isabella's big eyes. "Thank you! Yes, I will!"<br /> <br /> Inside, she's throwing high fives to luck. Finally, she could breathe. Didn't matter who he was as long as she was pulling herself out of the quicksand.<br /> <br /> And just like that, the crowd went wild.<br /> <br /> "Say what? That's Clayton Murray from Rayson International?" someone gasped.<br /> <br /> "Whoa, the legendary second son of the Murray family?" someone else hollered.<br /> <br /> "No way! I heard Clayton doesn't mix with ladies. Could this be a fake?" somebody wondered.<br /> <br /> "Bummer. Mr. Murray's like a ghostโnever seen in public or snapping selfies. How can we even know if it's really him?" another person pitched in.<br /> <br /> "He looks legit. I mean, who would have the guts to fake being Mr. Murray? Plus, dude's got charmโI hear the real Clayton's a looker," came a comment from the crowd.<br /> <br /> Isabella dried her eyes and spun around to face the stage crowd. "Just to be clearโZachary and I are done. We're out of each other's lives. Next up, I'm marryingโ"<br /> <br /> She had to check with Clayton because she blanked on his name.<br /> <br /> "Clayton." He gave her a small grin.<br /> <br /> "Yeah, Clayton!" Isabella said, staring them down without a wince.<br /> <br /> Nathan boomed, "Hold up; you're the Clayton Murray?"<br /> <br /> Clayton just gave a cool nod. "That's me."<br /> <br /> Terence's expression darkened. He glared at Zachary and Scarlett, thinking, 'It's all this little punk's fault!'<br /> <br /> Megan and Yvonne were stunned. 'How's he so drop-dead gorgeous?' they wondered incredulously.<br /> <br /> Clayton swept his glance across the stage. "You all must be Isabella's family. Sorry for taking the liberty to announce our marriage in this way today. I'll pay you a visit someday."<br /> <br /> After saying that, he turned around and linked arms with Isabella, his tone gentle as he spoke to her. "Let's go. What's going on here is none of our business."<br /> <br /> "Mr. Murray, don't be fooled by Isabella! Over the years, she has been a nuisance, trying all means to curry favor with Zach just to get married to him. A woman even Zach has abandoned doesn't deserve you!" Megan shouted eagerly. ''I won't let Isabella have such an excellent man all to herself! I'm better than her. Mr. Murray should marry me. Isabella is nothing compared to me!' she thought.<br /> <br /> "Yes, Mr. Murray. Please wait! Isabella hasn't gotten my dad's permission." Yvonne's soft voice was filled with anxiety. She wasn't as foolish and reckless as Megan, but she, too, wanted Clayton to herself. 'Everyone will think Clayton and Isabella are engaged if they leave like this. I won't allow this! Such an outstanding man should be mine,' she mused.<br /> <br /> "Dad, say something! How can you let Isabella leave like this? Mr. Winslow hasn't agreed to cancel the engagement yet!" Yvonne urged.<br /> <br /> Nathan met his beloved daughter's gaze and cleared his throat. "Isabella! Come back!"<br /> <br /> Terence and Lorelai exchanged glances before the latter shouted, "Isabella, stop messing around. Come back and let's talk things out."<br /> <br /> Isabella tightened her fists, and Clayton patted her on the arm as reassurance.<br /> <br /> He stopped, turned around, and glanced at the people on the stage. "Thank you, Mr. Zachary Winslow, for falling in love with someone else and giving Isabella to me."<br /> <br /> Everyone, including Isabella, looked at Clayton in surprise.<br /> <br /> Gazing at Clayton's side profile, Isabella thought, 'I'm so lucky today. This random man that I chose supports me without hesitation.'<br /> <br /> Clayton then looked at Nathan. "Mr. Ingram, do you have a problem with your daughter marrying me?"<br /> <br /> His voice was gentle and calm, but his domineering aura made Nathan flinch.<br /> <br /> "Zachary, my stomach hurts." An anguished voice rang out at that moment. Scarlett, grabbing Zachary, held her stomach and bent over in pain.<br /> <br /> "Scarlett, what's wrong?" The anxiety and concern in Zachary's voice were obvious.<br /> <br /> Isabella's gaze dimmed, and her heart ached when she saw how much Zachary cared for Scarlett. Lorelai and Terence looked at Scarlett furiously.<br /> <br /> Scarlett admitted timidly, "I-I have been pregnant for two months."<br /> <br /> "What? A-Are you pregnant with Zachary's child?" Lorelai was in shock.<br /> <br /> Scarlett nodded in pain. "Zachary, my stomach hurts."<br /> <br /> Zachary panicked and said, "T-Then, what should we do?" He didn't expect Scarlett to be pregnant. He looked at Isabella below the stage and averted his gaze upon noticing her tear-filled eyes.<br /> <br /> Chapter 4 Conspiracy<br /> "What are you still standing around for? Quick, get her to the hospital. The child's safety comes first," Lorelai said urgently, placing her future grandchild's well-being above all else.<br /> <br /> Clayton covered his mouth and stifled a chuckle. "Even in this situation, you still want your daughter to marry into a family like this, Mr. Ingram? What exactly do you hope to gain from the Winslow family?"<br /> <br /> His words caused a visible shift in everyone's expression.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Nathan's expression was grim.<br /> <br /> Marrying Isabella to Zachary was a strategic move for both families. However, if Clayton was willing to wed Isabella, he would become Nathan's son-in-law, with Rayson International as Nathan's backing.<br /> <br /> The value of one hundred Avid Ventures Real Estate paled in comparison to Rayson International. In the face of years of friendship and mutual benefits, Nathan was torn between loyalty and opportunity. He was a businessman, and he knew what he wanted.<br /> <br /> Clayton saw the calculative glint in Nathan's eyes, turned to Isabella, and softly inquired, "Shall we go?"<br /> <br /> Isabella tore her eyes away from Zachary and Scarlett, nodding gently.<br /> <br /> She visited the graves of her granddad and mother, George and Irina Sorenson, tenderly wiping their photos clean with a tissue.<br /> <br /> "I'm sorry, Granddad, Mom. Zachary and I are no longer together. Our marriage won't be happening," she murmured.<br /> <br /> Caressing Irina's photo on the tombstone, she couldn't control her tears. "I've tried to heed your advice, Mom, enduring everything. But now, I'm at my wit's end. I'm only 22 years old, still too young to take over the company with my current ability," she confessed.<br /> <br /> "I thought things would be fine once I got married, but now..." Isabella muffled her sobs with her hand, her body trembling as she knelt before the tombstone, curled into a small ball of grief.<br /> <br /> Since Irina's passing, Isabella had learned to endure silently through countless trials, enduring disdain from Nathan, Winona, and Yvonne. Growing up in a home that no longer felt like hers was a constant struggle, yet she clung to the hope that marrying Zachary would bring her freedom. She believed that everything would soon be fine.<br /> <br /> When Nathan told her about the engagement party that was about to be held, Isabella was overjoyed. They had planned to get married after her university graduation the following year, and once that happened, she'd finally be free.<br /> <br /> Zachary was the man she loved dearly, and she believed the union arranged by George and Irina must be the best course. After all, Zachary was the guardian angel George and Irina had chosen for her.<br /> <br /> Throughout her childhood, Zachary had been her constant companion, treating her with great care.<br /> <br /> George passed away when Isabella was just eight years old, followed by Irina when Isabella turned ten, enveloping her world in hues of gray.<br /> <br /> When Isabella turned twelve, Zachary left for his studies abroad.<br /> <br /> Tearfully, Isabella clung to his hand, reluctant to let him go, fearful of losing the sole connection she had left to George and Irina.<br /> <br /> She vividly recalled Zachary's promise as he held her hand and said, "Isabella, wait for me. I will come back and marry you when I'm grown up." Those words echoed constantly in her mind.<br /> <br /> Throughout the years, Isabella dedicated herself entirely to Zachary. She nurtured their relationship meticulously, treasuring their brief annual reunions, and worked tirelessly to mold herself into the person he admired, adapting to his preferences.<br /> <br /> Despite enduring ridicule, sarcasm, and insults from Megan and Yvonne, she clung to the belief that everything would be fine after she married Zachary.<br /> <br /> Marrying Zachary had been Isabella's primary motivation and ultimate goal throughout those years. Every future scenario she envisioned concluded with her union with Zachary.<br /> <br /> She firmly believed that marrying him would breathe new life into her existence, heralding a fresh chapter and a brighter future.<br /> <br /> Whenever she faced punishment and was locked in a dark room, whenever she suffered from hunger, whenever she faced difficulties, the mere thought of that envisioned future fueled her with boundless courage.<br /> <br /> Alas, that hope was shattered. The day she had dreamed of would never materialize. The envisioned future dissolved, leaving behind a shattered world. Isabella felt as though her heart had been torn from her chest, leaving behind an agonizing void.<br /> <br /> After a long while of weeping silently, Isabella raised her head, wiping away tears with trembling hands, and pledged, "Granddad, Mom, from now on, I'll live for myself. I'll do my best to not let you down." Despite the pain, she knew that life must persist, regardless of the circumstances.<br /> <br /> As Isabella left the cemetery, the sun had already descended below the horizon.<br /> <br /> Clayton's car waited silently by the gate, catching Isabella off guard. Stepping out of the vehicle, Clayton opened the passenger seat door for her. She said in a low voice as she settled into the seat, "Thank you."<br /> <br /> Clayton got back in the car and glanced at Isabella. Her eyes and nose were red, and she looked exhausted. "Let's find a place for you to rest," Clayton suggested.<br /> <br /> Isabella shook her head, recognizing the inevitability of confronting what lay ahead. "Mr. Murray, thanks for your help today," she croaked, her voice strained from emotion.<br /> <br /> Clayton started the car and asked, "Where do you want to go?"<br /> <br /> "Could you please drive me home?" Isabella requested softly.<br /> <br /> After confirming the address, Clayton fell into silence as Isabella leaned against the window, closing her eyes for the journey home.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, at the Ingram residence, Nathan, Winona, and Yvonne sat facing each other on the couch in solemn silence.<br /> <br /> Breaking the silence, Yvonne implored, "Dad, you can't allow Isabella to marry Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> Nathan, having deliberated the matter during his return journey, felt a disquieting unease despite acknowledging the potential benefits of Isabella's union with Clayton. When pressed by Yvonne, he couldn't help but raise his gaze to meet hers, questioning, "Why?"<br /> <br /> Yvonne hesitated, not knowing what to say, thinking, 'I can't say I should be the one to marry Mr. Murray, right?' She glanced at Winona.<br /> <br /> Winona, pouring a cup of coffee for Nathan, said with composure, "Nate, it's widely known that Isabella and Zachary have been engaged to each other since childhood. Considering her background, it's not suitable for her to wed into the Murray family. Won't they look down on her?"<br /> <br /> Chapter 5 Stirring Up Trouble<br /> Nathan furrowed his brow in response, stating, "That's her decision to make. If she chooses to marry Mr. Murray, and if the Murrays look down on her, she only has herself to blame."<br /> <br /> Winona exchanged a meaningful glance with Yvonne before continuing, "While that may be true, she's still your daughter. If there's talk about her outside, it inevitably reflects on us as well. That's not good."<br /> <br /> Winona looked up at Nathan, who listened intently. "I'm not her biological mother, so I have no authority to discipline her," she began. "As you can see, she rarely communicates with us these years and has her own ideas. What happened today was saddening. She humiliated you in front of everyone. It's one thing for her to disrespect me over the years, but the way she treated you today was unacceptable. Despite my efforts, she only acknowledges Irina as her mother, thinking that we owe her."<br /> <br /> Tears welled up in Winona's eyes as she sniffled. "I know what you're thinking. A marriage of convenience with the Murray family will benefit the company greatly. However, if Isabella doesn't stand by you, then..."<br /> <br /> Her words trailed off, but her meaning was clear.<br /> <br /> Yvonne's gaze flickered as she inwardly praised her mother's wisdom. "Exactly, Dad. We can't squander resources. Even if Isabella married into the Winslow family, there's no guaranteeing she'll put in a good word for you. Your partnership with Mr. Winslow has been smooth-sailing, and that's based on your friendship with him, not Isabella's involvement," Yvonne chimed in.<br /> <br /> Nathan suddenly realized what had been bothering him. Isabella's defiance had caught him off guard. He desired a compliant daughter, not one with her own convictions. He glanced at them, took a sip of coffee, and asked in a deep voice, "So, what do you guys suggest?"<br /> <br /> Winona and Yvonne exchanged a glance. Winona gently proposed, "Nate, we can't trust Isabella, but we can rely on Yvonne. She's our biological daughter."<br /> <br /> Nathan's focus shifted to Yvonne, who appeared bashful. "Mom, we're talking about Isabella. Why bring me up?"<br /> <br /> Winona's expression grew stern. "Yvonne, I'm serious. You're our daughter. You can't just enjoy the privileges your father provides. You must share his burden, understand?" she chided.<br /> <br /> Yvonne straightened up, raising her hand in a playful gesture. "Yes, Mom, I understand. I'll be there for Dad whenever he needs me," she vowed with a smile.<br /> <br /> Nathan was reassured by her promise. Nodding, he remarked, "Winona, you've raised her well. Isabella, on the other hand, is truly disappointing."<br /> <br /> Winona smiled faintly, "My hands are tied. Anything I say as her stepmother could easily be misinterpreted as having ulterior motives."<br /> <br /> "Hmph! It's because she doesn't know what's best for her," Nathan snorted. Then, he frowned. "Are you suggesting that Yvonne should marry into the Murray family?"<br /> <br /> Winona nodded, affirming, "We can trust Yvonne. She's our sweetheart."<br /> <br /> "But Yvonne is only twenty," Nathan voiced his concern. He had always cherished Yvonne and had never contemplated marrying her off at such a young age.<br /> <br /> Knowing that he was wavering, Winona smiled reassuringly, "So what if she's twenty? We can arrange for the marriage now and wait for Yvonne to graduate from university before holding the wedding. That doesn't make much difference."<br /> <br /> Nathan cradled his forehead, contemplating her proposal.<br /> <br /> "Dad, if it benefits our family, I'm in. Trust me; I'll try my best to ensure our family's prosperity," Yvonne declared resolutely, biting her lip as if determined to sacrifice herself for the family.<br /> <br /> Nathan eventually nodded in agreement, which put a smile on Yvonne's face.<br /> <br /> However, Winona intervened softly, "But, Nate, we're not acquainted with Mr. Murray. Perhaps we'll need Isabella to introduce us?"<br /> <br /> Yvonne was taken aback, immediately objecting, "Why should she introduce us? As we saw today, she asked Mr. Murray to marry her on the spur of the moment. Mr. Murray agreed as soon as she mentioned it. So, why can't we approach him directly?"<br /> <br /> Yvonne considered herself superior to Isabella. She mused inwardly, 'In terms of appearance and figure, I'm much better than that country bumpkin. Why should Isabella, who's inferior to me, get to marry such a perfect man? Since Mr. Murray agreed to Isabella's proposal, he'd agree to mine too.'<br /> <br /> Nathan thought her words made sense and pondered for a moment. "Well, how about we pay a visit to Rayson International tomorrow?"<br /> <br /> Outside the Ingram residence, Clayton parked the car and glanced at Isabella who was already asleep in the passenger seat.<br /> <br /> It should've been her engagement party that day. She wore a white knee-length dress, her pinned-up hair already disheveled, with several strands hanging down. Her delicate face appeared particularly pale. She didn't change much since childhood. As she jumped down from the stage, Clayton was struck by the pain and resolution reflected in her eyes.<br /> <br /> 'It seems like she's been struggling all these years,' Clayton thought, tenderly tucking her hair behind her ear.<br /> <br /> Isabella's long lashes quivered slightly as she stirred awake at his touch, momentarily confused upon seeing Clayton.<br /> <br /> "Are you awake?" Clayton asked gently.<br /> <br /> Isabella blinked, and the memories of what happened flooded back. She took a deep breath, attempting to quell the overwhelming pain pulsating through her veins.<br /> <br /> Gazing toward the Ingram residence, she was enveloped by a chilling coldness. This place had been her home, yet since the age of ten, she felt like a superfluous presence there.<br /> <br /> Previously, Zachary's presence had somewhat eased the void left by George and Irina. However, at present, she was all alone.<br /> <br /> The gate of the residence was like a gaping maw, ready to devour her and the legacy of George and Irina at any moment.<br /> <br /> "Do you need me to go in there with you?" Clayton asked softly, observing Isabella, who was staring into space.<br /> <br /> Isabella slowly shook her head. Staring directly ahead, she spoke to Clayton in a composed but distant manner. "Mr. Murray, can we make a deal? I need to leave this place now, but they won't allow me to rent a house independently. Our school's in the middle of renovations, and once the new semester kicks off, students like us who are in the senior year will have to find internship positions on our own, and we can no longer live in dorms. The only option left for me is to get married. Once I get married, I can leave for good."<br /> <br /> Clayton tightened his grip on the steering wheel.<br /> <br /> "I propose we marry, and I'll move into your residence. I'll reside there and pay you rent. If I face financial constraints, I'll provide you with a promissory note. I've mentioned that I'll inherit some assets after turning twenty-five. At that point, I'll settle all my debts to you. Then, we'll proceed with divorce proceedings, and I'll allocate half of the inheritance I receive to you as compensation for marrying me now," Isabella explained.<br /> <br /> Chapter 6 Realization<br /> Isabella declared resolutely, "I will draft a formal agreement stating our rights and responsibilities. Our union will only be a sham marriage. Should you happen to develop feelings for someone else during this time, I ask that you wait until we've been married for at least a year before seeking a divorce. I assure you, my commitment to our arrangement stands firm, and you will receive every cent of your compensation as promised. With this agreement in place, we can ensure fairness for both parties."<br /> <br /> Noticing a pen and paper tucked under the armrest, Isabella grabbed them, jotting down her phone number before passing it to Clayton. "Here is my contact information. Take your time to ponder my proposal; however, I expect your response within three days. Do not delay." With that, Isabella exited the car and left, leaving Clayton staring at the note in his hand blankly.<br /> <br /> Her decisiveness left Clayton momentarily stunned.<br /> <br /> He couldn't help chuckling as he watched Isabella walk away in determined strides. "Isabella, I'm back. I'll stand by your side no matter what you do," Clayton murmured, thinking, 'I'll let her do whatever she wants. Whatever happens, I'll clean up after her.' Even if she didn't know who he was, Nathan did. Nathan'd never dare to lay a hand on her.<br /> <br /> *****<br /> <br /> Dinner was served in a peaceful ambiance.<br /> <br /> "Ms. Sorenson, you've returned." One of the maids, Elsie Anderson, was surprised to see Isabella.<br /> <br /> Isabella paid no heed to the mix of surprise and disdain the other three were displaying. "Dad, Winona." Dipping her head, she greeted them before settling at the table, accepting the soup bowl offered by Elsie.<br /> <br /> She hadn't eaten anything since morning and was starving. Clayton had suggested taking her to dinner earlier, but she had declined. She would have to face this sooner or later, so why delay it?<br /> <br /> "Isabella, why are you only back now? Mom and Dad were too worried to eat," Yvonne said, sharing a meaningful glance with Winona.<br /> <br /> Nathan's expression darkened.<br /> <br /> Isabella finished her soup and put down the spoon. Disregarding the cold leftovers on the table, she explained, "I went to visit Grandpa and Mom. I needed to inform them that Zachary and I have called off our engagement."<br /> <br /> Nathan sneered, "And they didn't reprimand you?"<br /> <br /> Isabella lowered her head in silence.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, you've pissed your dad off today. How could you embarrass him in front of everyone?" Winona said softly.<br /> <br /> "Mom, don't blame Isabella. Remember, she's the eldest daughter of the Sorenson family and the designated heiress of Sorenson Multimedia. Dad wouldn't hold it against her. Who knows what those shareholders might say if he did?" Yvonne interjected, stealing glances at Nathan.<br /> <br /> Nathan's expression darkened further as his gaze bore into Isabella.<br /> <br /> Isabella quietly ate the food Elsie gave her. She had gotten used to such drama. Winona and Yvonne always sowed discord between her and Nathan. Then, endless insults would ensue that would sometimes escalate into physical abuse.<br /> <br /> She was a Sorenson, and her father was an Ingram. That was one of her sins.<br /> <br /> Nathan didn't lose his temper. Instead, he snorted derisively before leaving the dining room.<br /> <br /> Winona shot a glance and Yvonne and Isabella before following Nathan out.<br /> <br /> As soon as her parents left, Yvonne abandoned her facade of dignity. Casting a scornful glance at Isabella, who remained meek and reserved as always, she said sarcastically, "I'm amazed you still have the nerve to stay alive. If I were in your shoes, I'd have put an end to it all by now. Maybe flung myself into a river or hung myself. Anything's better than living like this. Your fiancรฉ despises you and cheats on you with your closest friend. Aren't you devastated? How do you even have an appetite?"<br /> <br /> After taking the final bite, Isabella met Yvonne's gaze with indifference. "I've found someone willing to wed me."<br /> <br /> Yvonne scoffed, "Wake up, will you? Do you honestly believe you're the eldest daughter of the Sorenson family?"<br /> <br /> Isabella merely looked at her coldly. Yvonne often carried herself with elegance and composure in public. Isabella was perhaps the only person who had seen her true colors.<br /> <br /> She thought, 'Does Yvonne ever get tired of pretending? I pretend to be indifferent and weak because Winona and Yvonne forced me to, but no one's forcing Yvonne. So why is she pretending?'<br /> <br /> "What're you looking at?" Yvonne bellowed at Isabella. Isabella's charming face never failed to anger her. 'Why does she get all the luck? A wealthy grandfather and mother, and even that envy-inducing face!' she seethed inwardly.<br /> <br /> Yvonne sent her plate hurtling toward Isabella.<br /> <br /> Isabella rose from her seat, narrowly dodging the plate as it crashed to the ground.<br /> <br /> "What's wrong?" Winona asked loudly.<br /> <br /> Yvonne glared at Isabella.<br /> <br /> Normally, Isabella would've quickly apologized to Winona, saying she had accidentally broken the plate. Yet, today, Isabella simply turned to face the incensed Yvonne in silence.<br /> <br /> Elsie interjected fearfully, "Mrs. Ingram, I'm sorry; I accidentally dropped a plate."<br /> <br /> Both Isabella and Yvonne looked at Elsie at the same time.<br /> <br /> Yvonne shot daggers at Elsie before exiting the dining room.<br /> <br /> Elsie tugged at Isabella's arm, whispering, "Ms. Sorenson, just endure it. This too shall pass."<br /> <br /> Endure. It was a mantra instilled in Isabella since childhood by Elsie and also what her late mother said to her. Today, however, she realized that enduring only made things worse.<br /> <br /> Isabella hurried to the bathroom, changing out of the dress and cleansing herself of the shame it carried. She then returned to her room on the second floor, a windowless storeroom bereft of sunlight year-round. She even had to use the maid's bathroom. Besides Elsie, no one would regard her as the family's eldest daughter.<br /> <br /> The luxurious room that her grandfather and mother decorated was handed over to Yvonne just a month after Winona and Yvonne's arrival. Isabella's living quarters changed each time she made a "mistake" until she found herself relegated to the storeroom, a decision that satisfied Winona and Yvonne at last.<br /> <br /> This was the consequence of endurance.<br /> <br /> Isabella curled up on the cramped bed, the air stifling and hot. The wind could only filter in when the door was opened. Yet, she didn't want to move, let alone open the door.<br /> <br /> Isabella closed her eyes, the events of the day replaying in her mind. She watched them unfold once more like a distant observer.<br /> <br /> The moment Zachary started dating Scarlett remained a mystery to her.<br /> <br /> Since Zachary's return from abroad, he started work in his family's company, leaving little opportunity for him and Isabella to spend time together. Isabella was never one to inconvenience others, so she never interrupted Zachary's work. Understanding his desire for a compliant girlfriend, she made every effort to fit that mold.<br /> <br /> Ever since Zachary returned, the two families celebrated festivals together, which Isabella enjoyed.<br /> <br /> Zachary didn't treat her poorly or particularly well, but he and Yvonne were tight. They got along well, even though Zachary used to dislike Yvonne as a kid.<br /> <br /> Chapter 7 Truth<br /> Today, Scarlett claimed Isabella had forgiven them, which was nonsense. Isabella didn't know anything about their affair.<br /> <br /> Isabella wondered, 'Why would she say that? Was it to make Zachary turn against me? If that's the case, it's obvious who played the video. However, Scarlett isn't stupid. There are so many ways to let me know, so why did she choose this one? Doing so will only cause her more harm than good. Oh, right, because doing so makes it seem like my handiwork. No one will suspect Scarlett of selling herself out. As for Zachary, he is always on Scarlett's side. He never admitted his mistake or apologized. He kept emphasizing that Scarlett is my good friend and that I should be nice to her. Zachary, am I being nice to her by letting you go? Why do you take everything I do for granted?'<br /> <br /> Isabella's heart ached as she recalled the tender look Zachary reserved for Scarlett.<br /> <br /> Zachary had never looked at her like that before. 'I'm just not worth his affection, huh?' she pondered.<br /> <br /> Lorelai's words hit Isabella like a sudden storm. Throughout the years, Lorelai treated Isabella well. Isabella once believed she was sincere and even vowed to take good care of Lorelai after the marriage.<br /> <br /> However, it turned out that Lorelai valued her social status and assets. That was probably her second original sin.<br /> <br /> Isabella held a significant 40% stake in Sorenson Multimedia, making her the company's largest shareholder. However, because of her youth, all the dividends from this ownership were directed into a trust established by her grandfather, which remained inaccessible until she reached the age of 25. She wouldn't receive her inheritance from her grandfather and mother until that time.<br /> <br /> Today, she finally realized that the Winslow family's acceptance of her wasn't based on genuine affection or sympathy for her loss of her mother. It also wasn't due to their acquaintance with her late mother and grandfather either. Instead, it was because of the assets she would eventually possess.<br /> <br /> They were kind to her because of her assets, and cruel to her for the same reason.<br /> <br /> Nathan had always been eyeing the property Isabella could inherit, especially because Yvonne didn't have any. When Isabella turned 18, Nathan deemed her old enough to handle her inheritance. He once pressured her to draft a document pledging half of the property to Yvonne. However, his plan was thwarted when the lawyer and four key company shareholders intervened.<br /> <br /> George and Irina foresaw the possibility of someone coveting the assets and therefore imposed an age restriction of 25. At 18, Isabella didn't have the authority to transfer her future assets.<br /> <br /> Nathan had married into the Sorenson family, so any child he had with Irina must carry the Sorenson name, while offspring from other relationships would not inherit this family name.<br /> <br /> Thus, Isabella was the only heiress of the Sorenson family.<br /> <br /> Furthermore, if Nathan decided to transfer his shares to Yvonne rather than Isabella, the four main investors would pull out their money from Sorenson Multimedia. The company had always been in the hands of the Sorenson family, and it would stay that way.<br /> <br /> If the major investors withdrew their support, the company would collapse, as Nathan's 30% stake alone wouldn't be enough to sustain it. Nathan's family eventually gave up on their plan.<br /> <br /> Instead of trying to butter Isabella up to get their way, they chose to resent her even more. Isabella couldn't help but admire them for that, for they didn't yield in the face of greed.<br /> <br /> Another way to access her wealth was by letting her marry Zachary.<br /> <br /> In this scenario, her property would serve as her dowry, to be shared with the Winslow family upon marriage. Given Isabella's infatuation with Zachary, she would likely agree to this arrangement. Consequently, Nathan collaborated with the Winslow family on various investment and development endeavors in recent years, aiming to reap the maximum benefits in due time.<br /> <br /> "Grandpa, Mom, 25 isn't a safe age either. If I were an idiot, I'd still be an idiot at 25 years old," Isabella murmured.<br /> <br /> Luckily, misfortune wasn't the only thing the heavens bestowed upon her. At least Zachary found his true love. She wondered if that had anything to do with divine intervention.<br /> <br /> Getting out of bed, she used a nearby book to fan herself.<br /> <br /> 'Time to draw up a contract for Clayton. If he's sensible, he'll agree to my terms,' she thought. Isabella needed to move out as soon as possible. She had neither the energy nor the mood to deal with Yvonne and Winona's tricks anymore.<br /> <br /> They wouldn't let her rent a place outside, because that would make it hard for them to control her. Also, that would bring disgrace upon the Sorenson family. The only escape route left was to get married.<br /> <br /> The identity of her partner hardly mattered, as long as he was a true gentleman. She would draft a pact, ensuring her safety and rights were protected. And in return, she would offer him the benefits he rightly deserved, for he would be her savior.<br /> <br /> She needed to find a place to settle down and focus on earning money, aiming to gather 300 thousand dollars within a year to finance her studies in Upria for the next five years. It wasn't much, but she could continue earning while studying.<br /> <br /> Her future needed replanning. This time, she was on her own, and she vowed to protect herself from harm.<br /> <br /> The next morning, Nathan took Yvonne to Rayson International. As they stood outside the towering structure, Yvonne was exhilarated.<br /> <br /> Amidst the bustling heart of the city, the building stood tall and majestic. The employees were in a hurry, but their demeanor radiated confidence and pride unmatched by those of other companies.<br /> <br /> A smile crept onto Yvonne's face as she envisioned herself as the owner of this impressive building and the wife of its esteemed boss, overseeing these elite professionals in the future.<br /> <br /> Clayton accepted the document from his assistant, Johnny Lawton, signing it before instructing, "Get in touch with Kayson and have him find a place for me near University of Moulmore. Something around 1,000 square feet, suitable for two people, and fully equipped with all the essentials."<br /> <br /> Johnny answered, "Okay."<br /> <br /> Seeing that Clayton was reading a contract, Johnny called Kayson.<br /> <br /> After a while, Kayson entered. "Boss, what do you think about Moonlight Apartment near University of Moulmore? It's just a ten-minute stroll from the campus, and boasts a thriving community with all the amenities you could need."<br /> <br /> Clayton thought for a moment, but the name didn't ring a bell. "Okay. Go ahead and purchase a unit."<br /> <br /> Kayson laughed, "Boss, that's our property. You reserved a suite for yourself on the 28th floor. I was wondering why you never brought it up again. Turns out you forgot."<br /> <br /> Johnny glared at him. "Cut the crap and get it sorted already."<br /> <br /> Clayton glanced at Kayson but remained silent. Kayson stuck out his tongue playfully, heading toward the door. "Boss, will you be living alone or will Mr. Maguire be joining you?"<br /> <br /> Without looking up, Clayton responded, "It'll be me and my wife."<br /> <br /> Chapter 8 Will You Marry Me Instead?<br /> Clayton continued working on the document while Johnny and Kayson stiffened. Johnny, usually collected, also stared at Clayton in disbelief.<br /> <br /> Kayson's mouth hung open. "Y-You and who, Boss?"<br /> <br /> Clayton glanced up at them, answering flatly, "My wife. Do you have a hearing problem?"<br /> <br /> Kayson gaped in shock at Clayton, who kept working, then turned to the equally dumbfounded Johnny.<br /> <br /> Another assistant, Weston Quinn, entered the office. "Mr. Murray, Mr. Nathan Ingram and his daughter are here to see you."<br /> <br /> Clayton didn't look up. "Did they make an appointment?"<br /> <br /> Weston shook his head. "No, but he mentioned Isabella Sorenson. Said you'd know right away."<br /> <br /> Clayton's head snapped up at once. "All right, bring them up."<br /> <br /> Weston was stunned, for he seemed to have caught a glimpse of a smile on Clayton's face.<br /> <br /> However, he blinked and thought his eyes must've been playing tricks. Noticing how Kayson was rooted in his spot, Weston presumed Kayson had been lectured again and hurriedly turned to leave.<br /> <br /> Clayton glimpsed at Kayson. "Why are you still here?"<br /> <br /> Kayson jolted out of his daze, murmuring, "T-This feels too surreal..."<br /> <br /> Clayton glanced at Johnny, who quickly composed himself, clenched his fists, and cleared his throat before saying, "This information is somewhat... unexpected. It's only normal that Kay needs a moment to process it, Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> Johnny then glared at Kayson. "What are you still waiting for? Go get it done."<br /> <br /> Promptly, Kayson exited the room, still looking thunderstruck.<br /> <br /> He had just shut the door when he saw Hendrix Henderson working in the personal assistants' office. "Hens, let me pinch you and see if it hurts!" Kayson reached for Hendrix's handsome face, but Hendrix swatted Kayson's hand away with a folder.<br /> <br /> "Oh, get lost. Pinch yourself." Hendrix scowled. "What's the matter with you this early in the morning? You got scolded again? You were in there for so long."<br /> <br /> Kayson retracted his throbbing hand in a heartbeat. "Ouch, that hurts! So this isn't a dream!"<br /> <br /> Hendrix rolled his eyes, used to how Kayson would act up at least a few times a day.<br /> <br /> All four of Clayton's personal assistants were men. Johnny had been with Clayton the longest and resembled Clayton most, as cold and aloof. Weston and Hendrix, while mostly reserved, still wore their emotions on their faces from time to time. As for Kayson, he was the lone constant jokester of the group.<br /> <br /> Kayson looked at Hendrix intently. "Do you have any idea what I was tasked with?"<br /> <br /> Hendrix couldn't be bothered to answer, knowing Kayson would continue talking regardless of whether there was any response.<br /> <br /> Kayson's Adam's apple bobbed. "Boss told me to buy him an apartment. He said it's for him and his wife."<br /> <br /> Hendrix's fingers that were flying over the keyboard froze. "Are you still half-asleep? You must've heard wrong, and so absurd at that. Watch yourself, or Johnny will come give you an earful!"<br /> <br /> Kayson snatched the folder from Hendrix and insisted, "It's true! Johnny is in there. He heard it too. Ask him if you don't believe me."<br /> <br /> Before Hendrix could reply, they spotted Weston leading Nathan and Yvonne over. Kayson's eyes widened at the sight of Yvonne while he nudged Hendrix.<br /> <br /> Hendrix looked over, thinking, 'My, isn't she a beauty? What's going on here? Could she be the "wife" that Boss was referring to?'<br /> <br /> Weston was perplexed when he caught sight of the duo's transfixed gazes. 'What's up with those two? Why do they look so stunned?' he wondered.<br /> <br /> Yvonne had been pumped up the moment she stepped into the lobby. The low-key yet lavish interior of Rayson International made the Sorenson Multimedia and the Winslow family's Avid Ventures Real Estate that she was familiar with seem like night and day.<br /> <br /> As she expected, meeting Clayton was no easy feat. Clayton never entertained visitors without appointments despite Nathan making his identity known.<br /> <br /> Luckily, Isabella's name had worked in their favor. 'Looks like he still remembers yesterday's incident. In that case, he will surely recognize me, too. The gown I wore was tailor-made and cost ten times more than Isabella's, practically making me the star of the event. There's no way he'll forget my pretty face,' she mused in glee.<br /> <br /> Yvonne's heart raced involuntarily when she saw Clayton's assistant coming to escort them upstairs. She thought giddily, 'My goodness, Weston's quite the looker. What a pity that he isn't pursuing a celebrity career.'<br /> <br /> They had taken the private elevator up to Clayton's office, where another two astonished yet dashing men stood by the entrance. Yvonne was beyond thrilled on the inside, confident they were amazed by her beauty. 'I knew it. No one will overlook my looks with Isabella absent. See, even Mr. Murray's assistants are mesmerized by me,' she pondered, brimming with confidence and anticipation.<br /> <br /> After Weston knocked on the door, a deep voice rang out from inside. "Come in."<br /> <br /> Weston opened the door and politely gestured for Nathan and Yvonne to enter. "Mr. and Ms. Ingram are here, Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> Clayton looked up, his gaze and voice turning cold as he questioned Weston, "Didn't you say Ms. Isabella Sorenson was here?"<br /> <br /> Weston turned quizzically to Nathan.<br /> <br /> Nathan was all smiles as he stepped forward eagerly. "Hello, Mr. Murray! I'm Nathan Ingram. Isabella's my daughter."<br /> <br /> Clayton did not get up or spare a glance at Nathan's extended hand. "Where's Isabella?"<br /> <br /> Nathan awkwardly retracted his hand. "Ah, Isabella. She's, uh..."<br /> <br /> "Mr. Murray, my sister wanted us to inform you that she can't marry you," Yvonne chimed in gently while staring at Clayton.<br /> <br /> Clayton arched an eyebrow at the father-daughter duo.<br /> <br /> Nathan clenched his fist at his side and said solemnly, "That's right. We've come to explain the situation. Isabella is already engaged, so she can't marry you. But I have anotherโ"<br /> <br /> "Mr. Ingram!" Clayton interrupted frigidly. "Hasn't it already been made clear to everyone yesterday? Isabella called off the engagement with her ex-fiancรฉ and asked me to marry her. If she wants to go back on her word, she'll have to tell me herself!"<br /> <br /> Nathan's face fell as it dawned on him that Clayton was serious about the marriage.<br /> <br /> Yvonne became anxious. "I don't think you understand, Mr. Murray. Her and Zachary's marriage contract is set in stone. It was personally arranged by her mother. Isabella can't call the shots!"<br /> <br /> Clayton leaned back, arms crossed. "Oh? How about me, then? Mr. Ingram, as I said yesterday, nobody has dared to stop me from doing anything I want. Have you forgotten that, or did you choose not to believe me?"<br /> <br /> Clayton stared at Nathan, who instinctively lowered his head in the face of Clayton's overwhelmingly imposing aura. A shiver ran down Nathan's spine. "O-Of course not, Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> "Then what are you doing here now?" Clayton's voice was utterly icy.<br /> <br /> Yvonne boldly met his eyes. "Mr. Murray, I'm Yvonne Ingram, 20 this year, currently a sophomore at the University of Moulmore, majoring in economics and management, and future heiress to Sorenson Multimedia. Will you marry me instead?" She had dressed to the nines to meet him today, convinced that she could catch his fancy. | Endless Stories | 206 | https://facebook.com/61555726498427 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

In my experience, therapists rarely link the femoroacetabular joint to back disorders, even though several studies have found a strong correlation between movement-restricted hips and lumbar spine pathology. <br /> <br /> When assessing hip mobility issues, there are three things to consider. First, are the bones moving properly within the joint space, or is there an osteoarthritic bone-on-bone end-feel at end range of motion? Second, is a fibrotic femoroacetabular joint preventing rectus femoris and iliopsoas from reaching full hip extension during the swing phase of gait? Third, does the end-feel of the stretch indicate a fibrotic hip capsule or just tight/short hip flexors?<br /> <br /> So, how do we determine if a client has a hip extension restriction? Hereโs a quick and helpful hip mobility test. Ask your client to half-kneel with their right knee on the ground and left leg in front so thereโs a 90-degree angle at the hip and knee. Place a bar (or broom stick) along the clientโs spine. It should touch between their shoulder blades and the top of their gluteals. Now, ask them to slowly push their pelvis forward so they flatten their low back, allowing it to contact the stick. If the client feels a stretch in the front of their right hip, they have a flexibility or mobility issue in or around that hip. Switch positions and repeat the test on the left hip.<br /> <br /> To assess the left anterior hip capsule from the prone position, begin by flexing the clientโs knee to 90 degrees and grasping the leg.

The constant and debilitating pain kept her from gardening, taking care of her dogs, or sleeping.<br /> <br /> She quit her job because she couldnโt drive anymore. โI couldnโt focus on anything but the pain. I was ready to throw in the towel.โ After years on high doses of opioids, Angela had to wean off meds completely in 2016 due to kidney failure.<br /> <br /> Her twin sister had a different nerve issue that responded well to a spinal cord stimulator, so Angela did some research that led her to Nevro HFX and pain management Dr. Brent Richardson. In November 2022, she tried HFX for one week. โIt went so well I didnโt want it to end!โ Now, the HFX implant has given her nearly 100% relief from her symptoms.<br /> <br /> Today, Angela spends time with family and friends without withdrawing due to pain.

It affected her ability to stand, walk, and even sleep. Debra avoided stairs and had to use a scooter at work. <br /> <br /> While doing physical therapy for her ruptured disc, she met Dr. Ramani Peruvemba, who suggested she try Nevro HFX. Debra was skeptical but agreed to a one-week temporary trial since nothing else had helped. โI was very surprised at how well it worked,โ she said. She had 75-80% less pain by the end of the first day.<br /> <br /> After getting the HFX implant in April 2023, Debra was able to attend a trade show in Germany for work without any pain or constraints. It has been a great experience, she saidโboth the device and the patient support. Nevro even sent her a charger overnight to her hotel when she forgot hers on a trip. โNevro was as concerned about my health and well-being as my doctor was.

Heatherjo tried nerve blocks, injections, physical therapy and medication. Each time, she had hope that the new treatment would work and then was disappointed when it didnโt.<br /> <br /> Heatherjoโs pain started in 2012 after her pregnancy. She couldnโt play on the floor with her kids and needed a walker to get around. She was even bedridden in the hospital for a while. โI was depressed. The pain took away not only the things I loved doing, but the things I needed to do.โ<br /> <br /> Then her pain management doctor, Caroline Harstroem, recommended Heatherjo try Nevro HFX for one week. โIn all my time working with doctors I have never felt so supported like I did from Dr. Harstroem,โ said Heatherjo. โThe trial was the first time my body didnโt feel so much pain in years.โ<br /> <br /> Since getting the HFX implant over a year ago, she has had 80% pain relief. โI can walk my son to the bus stop and bake cookies with him!โ She also enjoys road trips, making crafts again, and no longer needs her walker.<br /> <br /> To anyone considering trying HFX, Heatherjo says, โDo it!

He even tried a triple nerve release. Jason injured his foot playing basketball when he was 33. The pain, throbbing, and hypersensitivity forced him to stay off his feet and changed every aspect of his life.<br /> <br /> He couldnโt play with his kids or participate in sports anymore. He slept poorly, waking in the middle of the night with level 8-10 pain. He often felt depressed. After 2 years with no improvement, Jason sought help from his podiatrist, Elizabeth Hewitt.<br /> <br /> During surgery to repair ligaments and tendons in his ankle, Dr. Hewitt noticed nerve damage. Thatโs when Dr. Hewitt recommended Jason try Nevro HFX. During his one-week trial, he quickly experienced significantly less pain.<br /> <br /> Since getting the HFX implant, Jason said, โI feel as close to normal as possible.โ He is more comfortable and sleeps without pain. Recently, he took his kids to Kings Island where he walked 25,000 steps. โI wouldnโt have been able to do that before. Iโm happy I chose HFX; it changed my life completely.โ<br /> <br /> ๐ก Find out if you qualify for this chronic pain treatment option at <a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.NevroHFX.com%2F%23patient-assessment&h=AT2q8WHliO0erzkfwnWzZ4Okee8TNdACa03G6dFAWoTOyuuu8wZM-S3BvZjZBVu0X8jGBVAE6CNaTxwEV4dFoOKR8e0UEBj0X_nZNprfaBpSkuMKPPhCFOAHftDLfiwwXgCDv12zzBMNt9aD_qPs4pQWx3uCn6psFg9i4oqXEAY" rel="nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank" data-lynx-mode="asynclazy">www.NevroHFX.com/#patient-assessment</a><br /> <br /> โ HFX is covered by all major insurance plans including Medicare<br /> โ HFX is offered by pain management doctors nationwide<br /> <br /> #NevroHFX #ChronicPain<br /> Results may vary.

They can virtually end their discomfort, protect their health, and live a more active life. Tens of millions of Americans have nerve damage - a condition known as โneuropathyโ.

Constantly turning to Ibuprofen or Tylenol can be good for a quick fix, but the bad news is they just cover up the symptoms. They don't actually fix a problem. <br /> <br /> Hi, here at Coburn Chiropractic we've helped hundreds of people in the Bay City area get out of pain without the use of drugs or surgery. <br /> <br /> The problem most people don't realize is that when the spine is out of alignment or not functioning properly it causes nerve irritation. This leads to things like... <br /> ๐ Migraine Headaches<br /> ๐ Sciatica<br /> ๐ Bulging Discs<br /> ๐ Degeneration<br /> ๐ Trouble Sleeping<br /> ๐ Neck Pain<br /> ๐ Back pain<br /> ๐ And Many More...<br /> <br /> Rather than covering up the symptom, we focus on getting to the root cause of the health issue by removing nerve interference in the spine! We're booking 25 appointments for a $40 New Patient Exam & Consultation. <br /> <br /> Tap the "SIGN UP" button below to claim your spot! ๐ | Coburn Chiropractic Bay City | 240 | https://facebook.com/CoburnChiropracticBC | 0 | SIGN_UP | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

But anytime someone suggests it ... Iโll be honest: It pisses me off. My anxiety literally makes me sick to my stomach and makes me shiver and shake. A deep breath canโt regulate my nervous system if drugs barely can. It just makes me light headed and feel like Iโm gonna throw up. Every time I go to a therapist it feels so unserious and the advice is crap. If it was as simple as they make it seem I wouldnโt be hurled over my toilet when I get an anxiety attack. ๐ ah yes a good BREATHING is all I ever needed ... But then I was proved wrong by a new method from Germany.

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

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

My chin begins to wobble as tears form in my eyes.<br /> I shouldn't be crying, but I know that he won't accept me. I'm ruined ... I'm marked, claimed to be someone elses ...<br /> "Why are you crying?" he inches closer and only stops when he's in front of me. I want to fall into his arms, to beg him not to reject me, to save me, but how can I when I'm claimed ...<br /> "You're going to reject me." my eyes squeeze shut as I suck my lips into my mouth.<br /> "You might be marked, but I can fix that."<br /> "How?" I stare up at him with teary eyes, "We remove it." he shrugs, his eyes filled with lust.<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> JESSICA'S POV<br /> Nick and I have been married for three years, we are high school sweethearts and married when we were twenty when neither of us found our mates. These days, fated mates are rare and hard to come by ... we both agreed I'd be a good Luna to the pack since I trained with him, I learned to be a luna from his mother and we have been inseparable since we were in diapers.<br /> He's my best friend and my true love.<br /> We made a promise to never leave, to never break the bond, to never reject one another when we found our real mates, which is likely to never happen.<br /> We are attending a ball tonight, but my insides are twisted, as if the Moon Goddess herself wants to shield me from whatever is going to happen, I tried to talk Nick into staying at home, but as stubborn like all alpha's are, he refused and said that we would get a bad name if we didn't attend.<br /> Sitting in the car while our driver takes us to a nearby pack, a strong and mighty one.<br /> I know it's our duty to attend, but holding his hand in the back seat, something is terribly wrong.<br /> We arrive and there are a line of cars outside, one by one driving by , guests getting out, wearing gowns and suits.<br /> It's our turn and Nick opens the door, holding his hand out to me and I happily take it as we get out, photos are taken and a red carpet is rolled out as if we were famous.<br /> Nick looks handsome with his dark blonde hair gelled back, his chiseled jaw tense, and the edges of his lips curled up into a small smile.<br /> We arrive inside and we're led to the ballroom, servants with trays walking with snack food and drinks pace all over while the guests stand and chat.<br /> I notice the alpha of The Deep Mountain pack greeting people, making rounds to greet and speak, there's a stage in the middle against the wall, a bar to the side and a dance floor in the middle where couples are dancing elegantly.<br /> I smile at my surroundings and freeze when I look at Nick, staring at a beautiful dark haired girl .<br /> "Nick." I tug at his hand, but it's like he's under a spell, frozen in time as the girl stares back at him.<br /> "Nick." I tug harder, his shoulder shrugging back, "Huh?" he turns to me with a frown, his fingers letting go of my hand and I feel cold.<br /> "I'm going to grab a drink." he smiles at me before walking off towards the bar, closer to the strange woman.<br /> I was an omega and the room is filled with power, I could even feel hers because she is of a higher rank.<br /> I gulp as I watch him walk to the bar, his eyes locked on hers and she elegantly turns in her navy blue dress, walking towards him with dark lustful eyes.<br /> I can't be ... but it is ... it's his mate ..<br /> I stand frozen and a shoulder bumps into me, making my head turn at the woman glaring and snarling, "Watch where you are going!" she scolds and I apologize before walking over to the bar, joining my mate's side while he absentmindedly stares at the woman next to him.<br /> I clear my throat, but there's no response from him.<br /> He doesn't even notice me ..<br /> "Nick." I smile , hope filling my heart as he glances at me, fear flashing through his perfect green orbs as he steps back and then looks at her again.<br /> "Jess, this is Tiffany ... my mate." he smiles awkwardly at me but when he looks at her, it's a genuine smile ...<br /> "Nick." I frown in concern and he takes my hand, giving it a tight squeeze, "Don't worry, I know what to do." he smiles, "Shall we talk outside?" the gloominess in his eyes makes me relax only for a minute until she holds out her hand, smiling gracefully with her full lips and pretty blue eyes.<br /> My heart sinks when her hand hooks into his arm and they head to the balcony. alone ...<br /> I should go with ... but it is a private matter.<br /> 'He's ours...' Zola, my wolf, whimpers.<br /> I stand at the bar, staring carelessly at my mate walking off with his true mate and I inch closer, frowning as every nerve in my body is burning to follow them.<br /> I glance around and there are so many people that they don't even notice until the Luna of the Deep Mountain pack steps closer, "Jessica, is it? From the West Pack?" I nod, trying not to be rude when I look at the balcony and not at her while she speaks to me.<br /> "Oh honey, it's done." she shakes her head and I frown, cocking my head at her in confusion.<br /> "What do you mean?" My eyes stare into her honey ones.<br /> "He found his mate, I'm sorry but it's fated and you are now the other woman." she sighs, glancing at the balcony doors.<br /> I stare at her, my heart racing a million miles an hour and I excuse myself.<br /> I step out of the house, moving around the arriving couples when I feel my heart squeeze, pain taking over and I know what it meant ... Disgust fills me and I start to run, glancing over my shoulder no one notices and I shift, my beautiful pastel pink dress ripping to shreds as I run into the woods.<br /> The pain had stopped, but I did not return home until after midnight, finding Nick sitting on the couch, watching tv.<br /> "Jessica, where have you been?" he stands as I slam the door shut, standing undressed in front of him.<br /> I cross my arms over my chest, glaring at him. "Excuse me?" I shake my head at him, "Where have I been? What have you been doing!" I growl, making his eyes widen in shame and his gaze flicks to the floor when he scratches his nape.<br /> "That's what I thought, you couldn't even resist ten minutes before sleeping her, could you?" I see the pure rage filling me.<br /> "I didn't, I swear..." he promises, but I don't believe him.<br /> Scoffing, I strut past the couch to our room, "Can we talk?" he yells and I turn , "Did you reject her?" I frown and he falls silent, raking a hand through his hair.<br /> "Then no, we can't ." I turn and walk to our room.<br /> He follows me, closing the door behind us, "Jess, I love you. I promise I will reject her, I just ... I couldn't, it's much more difficult than you think." he frowns, explaining himself.<br /> "And will you go and do it?" I grab clothes from the closet, "I will, just ... I need time." he begs and I snort, "Can I come when you do it?" the silence says it all, he doesn't want me there ...<br /> "You're saying you'll do it, but you won't, because you are weak." I tut, shaking my head.<br /> "I will, I just need to distance myself, to keep myself away and then I'll do it when I have the strength to." he explains, his eyes pleading for forgiveness.<br /> I hum, ignoring him as I strut past him toward the bathroom and he reaches for me, grabbing my wrist and I snarl at him, making him let me go instantly, "Don't touch me after sleeping someone else." I grit out, backing up into the bathroom and I slam the door shut, the heavy thud shaking the windows and I lock the door.<br /> I take a hot shower, the water pouring down on me as my back slides down the tiled wall, tears streaming down my face as I weep.<br /> I hear the door handle jiggle and I wipe the fog from the glass door, staring at the handle go up and down as he tries to enter.<br /> I feel a tug at the mind link, but I shut him out.<br /> He disgusts me, he promised, both of us promised one another that we would immediately reject our mates before the bond grew and he is letting it grow, making it ten times more difficult to reject them.<br /> I can't believe I trusted him ... I expose his mark in the crook of my neck, I hold our love dear in my heart and he just let it all go down the drain, letting it sink into the sewers.<br /> I am nothing under his shoe and here I am, still loving him with every breath I take.<br /> After sitting more than an hour under the steaming water, it turns cold and I sit for another half an hour before standing and I shut the water off, taking my time to get dressed and when I stride out in silk booty shorts and a thin strap silk top, I notice how Nick lays in bed, his thumbs circling one another as he stares at the ceiling.<br /> He doesn't even notice me and I am sure he's thinking about her.<br /> The one who stole his heart within a second, the one who is going to steal my life, my bed, my position and my mate.<br /> We are real mates, we accepted one another, we marked each other, we might not be fated, but we are real or we were before her.<br /> ==<br /> My heart starts racing as we head further up the stairs, my pulse is beating in my ears and the musky scent is intensifying. When we reach the top, there's an entire living room in the middle and then two halls, but the scent up here is stronger ... "What's that smell?" I ask Louis without hesitation. He turns to me, his arched brows furrowing together, "The sweaty smell? Must be Nate, my alpha, but please, call him Alpha Nathaniel, he doesn't like strangers calling him Nate, or anyone else. As his best friend, I have perks." he winks at me, his smile so genuine and he seems like a totally different guy in his own pack than what he was at the party.<br /> I wet my lips and it still stings, it's taking forever to heal but I could feel it start from the inside.<br /> "Louis! Have you seen my phone?" Nate's voice comes from the opposite hall. "No, I've been out doing your job!" Louis yells back and the power lingering in the air is suffocating me. I'm stiff and upset about the stupid dress I thought would impress Nick.<br /> "Come.." Louis tugs me down the other hall, away from Alpha Nathaniel and once I enter his room, I'm shook. Everything is so white except for a few decorations. "Wow." I breathe out, his room is bigger than Nick and I's.<br /> He marches over to his closet and grabs a shirt, tossing it at me, "The bathroom is over there." he nods behind me and I turn, smiling before looking over my shoulder at him, "I'll be right back." he struts over to the door and I head inside the bathroom, the white marble walls knock the air right out of my lungs and I stand for two minutes and just look at everything.<br /> The bathtub looks huge, almost like a hot tub, the shower has benches built in and is large with great shower head equipment, the sink is built into a large white counter with beautiful engraved cupboards below it.<br /> I quickly undress and put Louis' white shirt on that fits me like a dress. I drape my dress over my arm and pick up my heels before exiting the bathroom, standing awkwardly looking at the bed ... wondering if he'll come back to peck me ...<br /> I know I shouldn't think of it, but I've been feeling so alone ... It doesn't matter if Nick slept next to me last night, his mind wasn't with me ... he didn't want me in his bed ... he wanted her.<br /> He didn't even come near me when all I wanted was for him to hold me, to tell me I'm still important too ... but he didn't. When he climbed into bed, he turned his back to me and fell asleep, but it seemed forced, like he didn't want to see me at all.<br /> The door opens and Louis stands there, his eyes trailing me standing in his shirt. "You are tiny, aren't you?" he comes inside, holding out his hand and I take it, "Let's get that dress fixed." he grins and leads me down the hall again.<br /> Before taking the first step, a clearing of a throat makes us stop, "Louis, who's this?" Alpha Nathaniel's voice makes a shiver run down my spine and Louis turns first, "Jessica." he smiles and before he could explain anything, I turn, freezing when our eyes lock.<br /> My lips part as I stare into Alpha Nathaniel's beautiful olive orbs, his entire body language changes, his laid back look now tense.<br /> "Mate." he growls lowly and I gasp, fear and excitement mixing inside of me. My stomach flutters and Louis let's go of me, stepping aside, "Nate, I didn't know." he moves away from me and Alpha Nathaniel's eyes lock on my busted lip, his eyes flicking a bright silver as he looks at Louis, "What happened to her lip?" he grits out, anger clear in his tone.<br /> "Her..." , "Wait!" I blurt out, looking at Louis with pleading eyes and Alpha Nathaniel's head snaps to my direction, curiosity visible in his gaze, "Why wait?" Alpha Nathaniel asks, his tone calm when speaking to me.<br /> "I just ... I think I should tell you." I pick at my nails nervously, hoping that he wouldn't reject me.<br /> Louis walks over to me, "Give me the dress, I'll get it cleaned." he smiles and Alpha Nathaniel gives him a weird look as I hand it over.<br /> "Excuse me." Louis mutters before trotting down the stairs, leaving me alone with Alpha Nathaniel.<br /> "So, what happened?" he asks, his muscles tensing. I want to inch closer, every fibre of my being wants to be near him ... but his gaze falls to my neck, looking at the mark embroidered into my flesh.<br /> "My mate his Louis for dancing with me and he accidentally hit me too ... I was in the way." his eyes flash bright, anger written all over his face, "Accidentally?" he frowns, dragging his large veiny hand through his black hair. "Yes, I believe so." I gulp, his aura makes me feel like running away.<br /> "And you have a mate..." his eyes narrow on my mark and I feel the need to just claw it off.<br /> "My mate found his mate and now I'm just ... the luna of our pack." My chin begins to wobble as tears form in my eyes.<br /> I shouldn't be crying, but I know that he won't accept me. I'm ruined ... I'm marked, claimed to be someone elses ...<br /> "Why are you crying?" he inches closer and only stops when he's in front of me. I want to fall into his arms, to beg him not to reject me, to save me, but how can I when I'm claimed ...<br /> "You're going to reject me." my eyes squeeze shut as I suck my lips into my mouth. I flinch as his fingers brush over my cheek, wiping the tears away and sparks erupt in my face, sending a calm sensation down my back.<br /> "You might be marked, but I can fix that." his hand brushes my raven hair back over my shoulder, his thumb dragging over my mark and it slightly stings because he isn't the man who gave it to me ...<br /> "How?" I stare up at him with teary eyes, "We remove it." he shrugs, his eyes filled with lust.<br /> I step back, "How?"<br /> I never heard of a mark being removed ... and if someone did, they sure didn't survive to tell the tale.<br /> "It's a rare ritual, but you seem tough enough." he shrugs, making my blood run cold ... I'm not tough ... I was an omega before being a luna ...<br /> "I was an omega before being a luna." I blurt out, feeling like it's a fact he has to know.<br /> "But you are a luna, it changes your status. Didn't you feel yourself change?" his fingers drag down the side of my arm before he takes my hand and I feel like I might just jump him right here.<br /> "Let's get you out of Louis's shirt ... I know he's kind but you smelling like him pisses me off." his eyes widen, his jaw tense and I follow him without hesitation.<br /> Walking into his room is like walking into a fancy black interior design room, the walls are black, his bedding his black, his cupboards are black ... everything is black with beautiful gold detailing.<br /> "Wow." I breathe out as I absentmindedly march over to the double doors and just open them without asking. I step outside onto the patio, staring at the dark forest that surrounds us. We're far from the ground and I turn, looking at the dark exterior.<br /> Alpha Nathaniel joins me outside with a black t-shirt, not that I expected anything else, "Here, this will suit you much better." he grins, handing me the black shirt. "Where's your bathroom?" he frowns at my question, "Inside." he nods to behind him and I smile up at him, his emerald eyes glistening as he watches me pass him.<br /> I could feel his eyes on me as I disappear into the bathroom and it's even bigger than Louis' ...<br /> I find it extremely weird that the guy who brought me home is my mate's beta ... for Goddess sake ... I thought of pecking him!<br /> I take a few minutes to glance around the bathroom, staring at myself in the full length bathroom mirror across from me.<br /> My lip is almost fully healed at least ...<br /> Nick ... oh Goddess, what do I tell Nick? | Fics101 | 135 | https://facebook.com/61554382746013 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

My dad is really mad at you and Raven being mates." Twin sister Reagan said to my mate.<br /> "I don't mind rejecting her, but I would have been embarrassed to face my mate" Justin said.<br /> "My father has decided to appoint me as his future Alpha not my sister Raven. So, I will be your luna." Reagan said to Justin.<br /> ******** <br /> I silently run through the woods letting my wolf Emerald out tonight. She has been anxious all day, well really the last few days, and I could tell that she needed to come out for a run. <br /> Alpha Cole Walker is the Alpha of the Blood Walker pack. He is said to be one of the most dangerous Alphas in the United States. It is said that he would hurt anyone who dared to enter his pack uninvited. Due to this fact, most of our pack members studiously avoid this area altogether.<br /> My twin sister, Reagan, is the golden child of the pack. They all love her unconditionally. She is cherished and appreciated, no matter what she does. They all seem to ignore the fact that she is a horrible and mean she-wolf. I was born first, and with that should come the respect that after I find my mate, I will officially be the Luna here, and he will take over as the Alpha of the pack. Yet they all treat her as the next Luna. <br /> My sister and I are the only children that our parents had. The Goddess never blessed them with another child, even though they tried for years. My father, Alpha Graham Sullivan, is very strict with me. I am not allowed to leave my room other than to eat my meals and then return back to my room again. I am also not allowed to leave our pack for any reason. I have never even crossed the border of the Sliver Blade pack in my life. <br /> I was the Alpha's daughter, but I was not a valued member of this pack. Telling on me has always resulted in a bonus for whoever told on me to my father. I have had to learn how to overcome this on my own. It has made me very independent over the years, as well as a very good climber. I use the tree outside my window at the pack house, to climb up and down to get in and out of my room.<br /> From my vantage point, I can see who is coming now and rolled my eyes so hard I almost saw my brain. It was Reagan, and she was pulling the arm of a pretty large guy, as she headed toward the grassy bank near my tree. I realized right this moment that I have picked a terrible place to hide. I should have doubled back and then climbed in my window to my room and I would have been safe and sound in my room. Reagan is clearly out with one of her many men, as she was allowed to stay out and do whatever she wanted to. I mean how else could she beat me to finding her mate if she didn't flirt with all the unmated men in our pack? I rolled my eyes again and then froze when I looked at them again and got a good look at his face.<br /> That smell coming off of him was starting to drive me wild, he smelled like freshly baked cinnamon buns, and I was now pissed off. She had come here with the guy that I had a crush on, someone with whom she had never shown any interest in before. It was our Beta's son and the guy that I have had a crush on for the last year and a half.<br /> "No, don't stop them, Raven, she has already been dating with him for the last few months. This is not the first time, it has been well before he returned to the pack earlier this week. They are together now, dating, and they have both vowed to reject their actual mates to stay together to take over and run this pack. Please, just try to bear it, I will help you get through it. I am glad that you are in a secure location, this may make you pass out" Emerald linked me, and I felt physically sick.<br /> "How do you know this? Did she know that he is my mate? Why can't I approach him? Maybe he wants me, Emerald. Please let me stop this. He might not know that I am his mate, he may still want me, want US! I don't want to lose him, Emerald. He may not be aware his true mate is here. Can't he already smell our scent up here, like I smelled his scent? Are you sure that this is the only way? Please Emerald" I linked her back, and I feel the tears that are already sliding down my face. I have questions, and I need answers.<br /> I am frustrated. I don't want to give up on my true mate. He doesn't even know that I am here, and I do want him. I don't want to give him up, especially not to my sister Reagan. I don't know if I can survive this level of betrayal.<br /> "I can't wait for mom and dad to announce to the pack that we will be the Alpha and Luna tomorrow. This is something that I have really wanted for the last 8 years. I am so glad you decided that we could be chosen mates. " My sister says to my mate.<br /> "Besides, I am also glad that you are willing to lead the Silver Blade pack with me. I have a feeling that my freak of a sister who keeps staring at you is going to be crushed when she finds out that we are together. You dodged by deciding to accept me as your chosen mate. I know that she has a crush on you, so she would probably try to ask you out or something when she sees that you are back from break." She adds.<br /> "I think we will be so happy together. Raven will be so angry when she finds out that we planned this months ago. I cannot wait for her to find out. I even told mom to have her sit on the front row for the pack meeting tomorrow, so I can see her face when dad makes the announcement. I am going to put her next to you so it will hurt her more when dad calls you up on stage. When she realizes that her crush is going to be my mate, she is going to be so jealous of me. I am so going to get a picture of her face when she finds out, as I will want to remember that moment for a long time" I heard Reagan say to him, and I was so choked up I couldn't hold in the sob of pain that managed to escape.<br /> It wasn't loud, but with werewolf hearing, it was loud enough. I just stayed completely still and prayed that they hadn't heard me, but Justin started talking when my sob escaped, and they had no reaction, so I think I am safe.<br /> "I have always thought that you were a she-wolf, Reagan. I am so glad that you came up to my training with your offer, and for us to get extra special time together. If Raven were allowed to move around the pack, I don't think that she would be missing the fact that she is my mate. I scented her today when I got back to the pack and confirmed she is my mate. Per our agreement, I don't mind rejecting her, as I am clearly getting the better sister out of this deal. I would have been embarrassed to have to call that freak of nature my mate" Justin said, and with it, my heart was completely crushed.<br /> These two evil people deserved each other, and I will not waste another tear on his betrayal. He "chose" her, so he can keep her. She will never be faithful to him, and he will not ever be able to trust that their children are his either. She was just doing this to ensure that they become the next Alpha and Luna. She is what he wanted, so she can have him. I am thoroughly disgusted by both of them, and I will not allow them to make me sad one more day. I had already decided to get out of this horrible pack, and I will not miss the Silver Blade pack for a second. <br /> "She is your mate? Are you serious? Oh, this is the best" Reagan said as she laughed out in joy at hearing this information. "Justin, why haven't you mentioned this to me before?" Reagan continued.<br /> "I just found out about it earlier today as I have been gone for my training for the last 4 months. I caught my mate's scent and followed it so I could go ahead and reject them. I realized it was coming from the Alpha level, and when I went up and it led me straight to her door, it was really faint, but I sensed it. She doesn't even know it yet. I am sure that this information is not going to go over well with your parents. They may be upset when they find out. Are they still going to want us to move forward with our plan? Or are they going to want me and Raven to be mates because we are true mates?" Justin asked Reagan. I have to admit, I was interested in her reply as well, but I already suspected what the answer was going to be.<br /> "Oh no Justin, you will definitely be staying with me. I know dad is really going to get a kick out of you and Raven being mates. Mom might feel a little bad for her, but I think that this is great. I could not be happier that her true mate, will become my chosen mate.<br /> We will rule the Silver Blade pack together, and it will hurt her every day to see us together. It is my pack any way, it was never going to be hers. Maybe if we are lucky since she doesn't have a wolf, she won't be able to scent you, and your rejection might even hurt her when you do it. That would be the best-case scenario for all of us" Reagan said, and I could tell that Justin was a little shocked at how hateful she was. Reagan could tell that Justin was not liking this side of her so she quickly changed her attitude and started cooing at Justin, "She doesn't deserve you, baby, I love you and I want you. Hopefully, you will come to love me too.<br /> I was just worried, I don't want you falling in love with my sister after we have already mated." Reagan said to Justin, looking up at him adoringly through her long lashes. I have to admit, she really knows how to work people to do what she wants them to. Her ability to look innocent and pure is without measure, she could have been an actress.<br /> "Dad hates Raven. He will be very happy about this. He has never loved her since the day that she was born. Mom might be a little upset, but she will get over it. She and dad are chosen mates, she gave up her true mate to become the Luna of the Silver Blade pack. She did it herself, and if it is good enough for her, then it is good enough for me to do it as well. We make the perfect couple. We will have strong pups, and our pack will flourish" Reagan said, and I am stunned. I knew my dad was mean, but to hate me, why? What reason could he possibly have for hating me? My parents have told the whole pack numerous times through the years that they were true mates. They are very affectionate with each other in front of the pack. I didn't even know that they weren't true mates. What else don't I know about them?<br /> "We will do the same thing. You will have to reject Raven first thing in the morning, or after the pack meeting. But you will have to do it where no one else will hear you. Dad is going to tell the pack that we are true mates, so they will fully support us. Dad thinks that it would be a mistake to not have the pack's full support behind us when we go to take it over from my parents" Reagan said, and I am amazed at all the plans that they have kept away from me. Just another thing that shows how much difference there is between Reagan and me. I hear them touching again and wonder when they plan on leaving the area, don't they need to get back to the pack house?<br /> I narrow my eyes at Reagan, as she is ecstatic about getting to truly rub all of my misfortune in right now. Justin is getting the opportunity to reject me, so the situation that we are now in is all positive for them.<br /> "Raven, why are you out of the house? Are you supposed to be out here? Are you OK? That fall looked like it hurt pretty bad" I hear my sister ask me with an innocent look on her face like she cared about me. She was fully aware of how I am kept a prisoner here at the Silver Blade pack. I really have to get out of here. I needed to check and see how badly I am hurt because I don't know if I even have time to go pack a bag now. I may be having to leave here with nothing, but I am OK with that. I just need to get the heck out of here. I will figure out what I need to do after I am safely free of Silver Blade.<br /> "Are you ignoring me, Raven? Are you sure you want to do that to me? Fine then, I will just make sure that you get punished for leaving your room. You are not supposed to be out here anyway. I will just let dad know that you are out here, and he will take care of you" Reagan said with a smirk, and then she started mind linking. <br /> I and my wolf were running away from this pack. But they caught us immediately.<br /> "If you come back here now Raven, I won't punish you for leaving your room without permission" I heard my father tell me. <br /> "Nothing in the world could possess me to do that father," I told him, and I see his eyes glazing over as he goes to link someone. I could care less what they have to say to me, and I turned to walk away. <br /> "You will get punishment in the Blood Walker pack. You know how dangerous they are Raven, you have heard this fact for your whole life. They cannot be trusted, and you are now a rogue. We have told you, and the whole pack, exactly what happens to those who trespass on their land. The moment they scent you they will move in, and you will die today. Is that what you want? Do you want to die? I will get you more freedom in the pack. I will allow you to go to the library every day instead of once a week. How does that sound?" my mother's voice is calming and comforting. She has never before sounded as nice as this, and I know that dad put her up to try to lure me back into the Siler Blade pack. They must be desperate to do it, so I want to see how far they intended to go with it.<br /> "Let me ask you this mother. Was the plan to get Justin to take Reagan as a chosen mate her idea, or dad's?" I asked her. Mom is not a very good liar. I can see her expression as we are only about 20 feet apart from each other right now. <br /> "I don't know what you are talking about Raven, they are mates," my mom said to me, and now I smirk at her. Clearly, mom was keeping me out of the loop and doesn't know that I know for a fact that they aren't.<br /> "Thanks for always lying to me mom. That makes it so much easier on me. I will not be coming back to the Silver Blade pack. This is the last time, Goddess willing, that you all will probably see me and actually I am welcoming the death that is coming to me. It will be better than the life I have lived since Reagan tried to hurt me, and my own dad called me a liar when I told him what actually happened. Justin is not her mate mom, and I know this because he is MY mate. It is disgusting what all you three have done to me and allowed to be done to me my whole life. I never deserved to be treated the way I was. I can only hope that I can find my way and get to live a life that allows me to find someone who loves me and realizes that I am a good person. I don't think that is too much to ask for, do you mom? It seems like you and dad are willing to do anything to get me to come back over the fence, but we both know that if I did come back, I would either immediately be thrown in the cells. So, I will take my chances over here, where at least I have a chance" I told them and turned again to leave. I only made it a few steps before I was stopped again by my father's hateful words.<br /> "You are ungrateful daughter, How do you have the nerve to say that to me? I have clothed and fed you, provided you a room, and let you go to school. I did take care of you, and it is disgusting to see how you repay me. Lying about Justin being your mate. Trying to take your sister's mate away from her. I know that I can speak for your mother as well as myself when I say that we hope the Blood Walker pack disposes of you quickly. I only wish I could punish you myself" my dad roared out, and the hate was coming off of him in waves.<br /> "You disgust me father," I told him and the tone I used to draw out the word father let him know just how little I thought of him being my father. "I have never done anything to cause a problem or disruption in the pack, or in the family. I did what I was told this whole time. Even as knowing that you let the whole pack know that I was fair game if they wanted to hurt me, and they did dad, over and over again. You know what, it was my family that really took the award for the most torment. Your unwarranted hate, mom never supporting me, and my sister allowed to try to hurt me, and incite others up against me made me realize that life will be much better on this side of the border than it was on that side. Even if I only live an hour more, it would be better than the years I spent over there."<br /> I wiped off my tears and walked past them, suddenly, I hear something coming to meโฆ<br /> <br /> <br /> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><br /> Wanna listen more? download our App and check more!

How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Kayan<br /> I was betrayed by two people I trusted implicitly, my best friend and my fiancรฉ, or so i thought.<br /> Without saying a word, I bent down and picked up my phone. By this time Dimitri had donned his boxers and his slim fit navy dress pants. Mariana on the other hand was gripping the white sheet, trying to cover her body and was sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> Normally her tears would have stirred some sort of emotion but I felt absolutely nothing looking at her.<br /> Dimitri stepped towards me with his outstretched hand but I stepped back, and when I spoke my own voice surprised me.<br /> Two words, " How long?". I stared at both of them expectantly. Dimitri sighed and rubbed his face, looking at me with regret.<br /> When no response was forthcoming from him, I turned to Mariana and pinned her with a glare. " Shut up Mariana! I asked a question and I need an answer now!" I shouted.<br /> She pulled her knees to her chest as her body shook in fear, she had only seen me angry once so she knew not to taunt me. Dimitri on the other hand, was stunned.<br /> She looked at me and stuttered in fear " S....si...six months", and hung her head low. I absorbed her reply, laughed hysterically, which caught both of them by surprise. They looked at each other shrugging their shoulders and just as I started laughing suddenly, I stopped abruptly.<br /> "Six months you say? I guess this is the part where you'll say it was a mistake, you never meant to hurt me and you're both sorry right?." I spoke calmly, surprising myself.<br /> Dimitri was first to speak " Kay, please I'm so sorry. We were both tipsy after your work anniversary party,and after I dropped her off, everything went to terrible. I'm so sorry baby but..." I laughed again, cutting him off mid sentence.<br /> I held my hand up then turned to Mariana" What about you bimbo, any last words?" Her eyes bulged in fear and I watched her squirm in fear. She knew I could put a bullet between her eyes even with my eyes closed , thanks to my Dad taking me to the pistol range every Saturday for 2 years.<br /> She sprung to her knees, the sheet fell exposing her and I saw all the hickeys along her neck and on her breasts. "Kay please, let's talk about this. I'm so sorry and I regret this. I'm so sorry for hurting you like this, it wasn't planned."<br /> The nerve of this woman, I thought. I should have listened to my gut all those months ago. She kept thwarting our plans, started traveling a lot and would barely take my video calls then. And she kept changing or bashing my wedding plans and like a fool, I brushed it aside.<br /> Dimitri was the same, one business trip after another, late nights and then he was distant. When I asked him about it, he promised to do better than what he did, but there was a subtle change. We no longer have sleep.<br /> Both of them looked at me expectantly, waiting for the weak, docile Kayan to shed tears and assure them everything would be okay.<br /> I dropped my phone into my bag, grabbed my pistol and clicked the safety off. I swiftly fired two rounds which were followed by agonizing screams. I shot Dimitri in his thigh just inches from his shaft while Mariana got hers in her right shoulder. Just enough to cause pain but not be fatal.<br /> I walked out the room but turned to them saying " That's for the betrayal, I never want to see or hear from either of you again. The next time you won't be so lucky."<br /> I descended the stairs shakily, I touched my face checking for tears but there were none. My chest was convulsing but I refused to give in to the pain I was feeling.<br /> As I got to the last step, I looked around, marched over to the fireplace and threw all photos she had of us together into it. I lifted the stoker, broke her 60" Samsung TV and everything went red from thereon. I trashed her apartment then walked out as if nothing happened.<br /> I grabbed my baseball bat from my trunk, smashed all her windows and doors. Just as I about to leave, I saw Dimitri's Silver Range Rover across the street.<br /> How didn't I notice it before?<br /> I walked up to it and repeated my actions. When I was satisfied, I hopped into my van and drove away.<br /> ---- <br /> Dimitri<br /> I couldn't believe Kayan shot us and simply walked away. I had known her for over 6 years but I never encountered this side of her. I knew I deserved that, worst of all, I ruined the one good thing I had done.<br /> I was thinking with my shaft and not my brain, because in assessing the current situation, Mariana was just a good woman. There is attraction, but the feelings I have for Kayan are deeper.<br /> Her sobs reverberated around the bedroom , bringing me back to the current situation.<br /> When Kayan left the room, I heard her trashing Mariana's apartment downstairs and was about to go after her.<br /> Mariana's words stopped me dead in my tracks, "Leave her be, Dimitri, she will kill you! She needs to calm down first before we approach her." I turned to her slowly, trying to ignore the pain and blood gushing from my wound.<br /> "What do you mean Mari? I'm going after her! There is no us. This was a mistake. I need to talk to her!" I ran my hands over my face then slid my belt around my leg making a tourniquet.<br /> She slid off the bed, gripping the sheet with her uninjured shoulder. " Take it from me, we're lucky to be alive! You have never seen her upset or know what she's capable of in this state but I do!" She tiptoed to the door listening for any further sound from downstairs, but was greeted with silence.<br /> Mariana sat on the stairs shaking and crying while gripping her disheveled hair.<br /> The front door was ajar, I moved to lock it but the sight of Mariana's car took my breath away. I looked across the street to mine and it looked even worst.<br /> I shook my head, sighed and turned too quickly, causing a searing pain in the bullet wound.<br /> I called my driver Michael and told him to be quick and discreet.<br /> Mariana got dressed in the meantime while we waited with bated breaths.<br /> Michael arrived in about 10 minutes, his eyes expressed shock but he knew better than to ask any questions.<br /> He drove us to Wyckoff Medical, the only place I knew would be discreet about what happened.<br /> Using the back entrance, we were quickly ushered into separate rooms for assessment.<br /> As I laid on the bed, I felt Dr. Green prodding my wound for the bullet. He's been our family physician since I was a child, so when he asked who I pissed off this time , I sighed and ignored him.<br /> All I could think about was Kayan, she was my everything!<br /> Not anymore you prick, you screwed up and you're lucky to be alive, I shook my head, trying to shake guilt ridden thoughts from my subconscious.<br /> I reminisced on all the times we spent together, the plans we made for our future and our kids. I reflected on how she supported me even when my own father doubted me. She never gave up on me. You shut up Dimitri!<br /> Dr. Green waved his hand above my eyes while calling my name. " Did you hear anything I said just now?" he asked quietly.<br /> I sighed " No, what is it?". My tone was clipped but right now I didn't care, I could apologize later.<br /> He rolled his eyes before continuing "I said there's a detective waiting outside to talk to you, you know it's my duty to report this." He grabbed a scissors and cut the thread, signaling that he had finished stitching my wound.<br /> "You'll live, but stay off your feet for a few days, and use a crutch if you have to move around." Dr. Green bandaged my leg and was about to leave when I stopped him.<br /> "Wait, I apologize for my behavior Doc. Where's the young lady who came in with me? I need to see her now." He looked at me sadly, shook his head and left the room without a word.<br /> My guess is he figured out why Kayan hadn't rushed into the hospital demanding answers. The realization hit me of how I not only disappointed Kayan but everyone close to me, especially my parents. <br /> I must have dosed off from the pain medication I had gotten as I was woken up by Mariana gently shaking my shoulder and calling my name.<br /> Blinking my eyes to adjust to the bright lights, I grabbed the remote and adjusted my bed. Mariana looked terrible, her hair was unkempt and her eyes were swollen. Her right arm was bandaged and now in a sling.<br /> She sat in the chair beside the bed and hung her head low. " I spoke to the police, I told them we were mugged at the apartment as we were trying to finalize wedding arrangements." It was barely a whisper, but I sighed in relief.<br /> "We messed up but I agree, I'll tell them the same thing. Kayan doesn't deserve this." My throat felt hoarse so I reached for a tumbler with water, poured a cup and took several sips.<br /> " I told you we needed to stop Dimitri but you insisted on coming over!" I pinned her with a glare which caused her to shut up immediately.<br /> The nerve of this woman! I laughed coldly before turning to her " Oh so now it's my fault Mar? Surely you weren't complaining when I rammed your wet dripping private part with my shaft right? You never said stop! Anything else I'm forgetting?" My chest was heaving by the time I finished ranting.<br /> I was about to continue but her sobs erupted. She looked at me lost, guilt etched across her face before she stood to leave.<br /> "Look Mar, I'm sorry okay. I just don't know what to do." I held her wrist, my thumb caressing the inside of her hand in a comforting way. "How did she get in though?"<br /> Mariana was trembling as tears streamed down her face. She took a deep breath before she spoke. "I forgot she had a key from over a year ago. She would always check the place when I traveled for a convention or went to see my family."<br /> My mouth opened to speak but no words were forthcoming and they never came as the door banged open, slamming into the wall denting it.<br /> Jumping with fright, we turned to see my very pissed off father and my distraught mother. Before I could utter a word, he spoke," You, get out now and don't let me see your face again!" Mariana jumped in fear and ran from the room sobbing before I could stop her.<br /> "Dad i can explain...." He slammed his hand onto the small table, knocking the tumbler over.<br /> My mom grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down but he flicked her hand away and grabbed my hospital gown roughly, "Explain what exactly Dimitri? How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> "I'm going to fix this Dad, just give me a chance please." I turned towards my mom seeking support but she turned her head away from me. " Mom, please I'm sorry, I'll fix this. I'm gonna make everything right."<br /> My Dad simply scoffed at my words, took my Mom's hands and walked out the door.<br /> The only sound that filled the room was that of the water droplets bouncing on the floor.<br /> ---- <br /> Mariana<br /> I have never been more regretful in my entire life. My head was throbbing non stop, my eyes were puffy from all the tears I'd shed in the past 24 hours. My mind replayed the events and all I could think of, was that I should be dead by Kayan's hands.<br /> My driver dropped me off to the apartment, and as I stepped inside I once again surveyed the damage. Nothing was left untouched, I had to start over but I guess that's the price to pay for stabbing your best friend in the back for six months.<br /> I wanted to stop so many times, I knew it was wrong but Dimitri was like a spirit I couldn't get enough of.<br /> We decided to take the secret to our graves and everything was going great until I saw him a week later at Danny's Cafe. We sat and talked for a while but after an hour when we attempted to leave, the sexual tension was just too much to ignore.<br /> From thereon, we used our lunch breaks and any free time we could muster to screw each other senseless. After each encounter, we'd say it was the last time , but that never happened as soon after I took trips when he did or he came to my apartment before going home.<br /> All this time, I gave Kayan a million excuses as to why we couldn't meet up, continued planning her wedding virtually and offered excuses when she whined about Dimitri being overly consumed by work.<br /> I even ended things with my own boyfriend as our relationship became strained and miserable because of my infidelity.<br /> Now this is the endgame, I lost my best friend who always stood by me and I'm pretty sure Dimitri and I have no future.<br /> Sitting on the stairs, I decided to take a leap of faith and call Kayan. If I could just get her to listen to me for a second, I would tell her how sorry I am and try to fix things.<br /> As I dialed her number, it went directly to voice-mail, and after trying a few more times unsuccessfully, I decided to go see her. I ordered an Uber, waiting outside for a few minutes before the car pulled up.<br /> I got in, gave the driver her address and stared blankly out the window. The only sounds were that of the music playing in the dashboard.<br /> Ten minutes later, I was standing on the curb outside Kayan's townhouse. Hesitantly, I opened the gate, trudged up the steps and rang the bell. I was there waiting for a few minutes, I called her but there was no response.<br /> I walked to the garden by the lamp post where she always hid a spare key. It was gone.<br /> Just as I was about to step from the yard, I was stopped in my tracks by a faint voice. My hopes increased but when I turned around expecting Kayan, no one was there.<br /> What was that then, I thought to myself.<br /> I reopened the Uber app, placed my request and waited by the curb.<br /> "She's not here you know." I was startled by the voice and was relieved to see her neighbor Michael.<br /> "What do you mean? Where is she?" I asked hurriedly.<br /> He eyed me suspiciously before replying,<br /> "Seeing you here looking like poop tells me you had a role in Kay's sudden departure 2 hours ago." His words were true yet hurtful, I castedmy eyes down in shame.<br /> "You don't know, Mike, just tell me where she went, I need to talk to her before it's too late" I begged him.<br /> The prick was nonchalant as he leant against her gate typing away on his phone. After getting a ping, indicating a message, he looked up at me smirking.<br /> "Well if you must know, my girl left for England indefinitely..." he paused, struggling to hold back a snicker, "...Oh and she says you should go yourself or Dimatro, whatever the pretty boy's name is." Michael was now clutching his side laughing hysterically while I sighed in defeat.<br /> She's gone! And now there's no way I will find her because I can't go to her family and I'm pretty sure she's already changed her number!<br /> I didn't warrant Michael a response since the Uber pulled up, I hopped in and left.<br /> My phone began vibrating in my pocket and I grabbed it quickly, just hoping it would be Kayan. I was disappointed as Dimitri's name flashed on the screen.<br /> "What do you want Dimitri? Haven't we done enough, didn't you hear what your father said?" I shouted angrily, catching sight of the driver's raised brows in the rear view mirror.<br /> "Calm down Mari, I wanted to apologize for my Dad. I'm getting discharged now so I'm heading home, I need to sort things out with Kay." Though I had wanted the same thing minutes ago, I couldn't help the pang of jealousy that gripped me.<br /> Before I could stop myself I snarled in response<br /> "Thanks for asking how I'm doing you prick! Oh and don't bother going there because she's gone!"<br /> "What are you talking about Mari! This is not the time to joke with me..." I'd had enough of his nonsense so I cut him mid sentence " Kay's gone Dimitri, I just left the house, she's not home and her neighbor says she left for England." The other end of the line was silent.<br /> I looked at the screen to see if the call had been disconnected but the line was still open.<br /> "Dimitri?" He sighed in response and I heard him grunt in pain, perhaps moving too quickly on his injured leg.<br /> "I'm here Mari. How will I fix things if I don't know where to find her? Of all the places, she had to chose England!? Couldn't she have just gone to her parents? What am I going to do now?"<br /> I wanted to speak but my throat felt as if it was clogged.<br /> I cut the call, switched to airplane mode and rested my head against the window as fresh salty tears rolled down my cheeks.<br /> I lost everything.<br /> My best friend.

How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Kayan<br /> I was betrayed by two people I trusted implicitly, my best friend and my fiancรฉ, or so i thought.<br /> Without saying a word, I bent down and picked up my phone. By this time Dimitri had donned his boxers and his slim fit navy dress pants. Mariana on the other hand was gripping the white sheet, trying to cover her body and was sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> Normally her tears would have stirred some sort of emotion but I felt absolutely nothing looking at her.<br /> Dimitri stepped towards me with his outstretched hand but I stepped back, and when I spoke my own voice surprised me.<br /> Two words, " How long?". I stared at both of them expectantly. Dimitri sighed and rubbed his face, looking at me with regret.<br /> When no response was forthcoming from him, I turned to Mariana and pinned her with a glare. " Shut up Mariana! I asked a question and I need an answer now!" I shouted.<br /> She pulled her knees to her chest as her body shook in fear, she had only seen me angry once so she knew not to taunt me. Dimitri on the other hand, was stunned.<br /> She looked at me and stuttered in fear " S....si...six months", and hung her head low. I absorbed her reply, laughed hysterically, which caught both of them by surprise. They looked at each other shrugging their shoulders and just as I started laughing suddenly, I stopped abruptly.<br /> "Six months you say? I guess this is the part where you'll say it was a mistake, you never meant to hurt me and you're both sorry right?." I spoke calmly, surprising myself.<br /> Dimitri was first to speak " Kay, please I'm so sorry. We were both tipsy after your work anniversary party,and after I dropped her off, everything went to terrible. I'm so sorry baby but..." I laughed again, cutting him off mid sentence.<br /> I held my hand up then turned to Mariana" What about you bimbo, any last words?" Her eyes bulged in fear and I watched her squirm in fear. She knew I could put a bullet between her eyes even with my eyes closed , thanks to my Dad taking me to the pistol range every Saturday for 2 years.<br /> She sprung to her knees, the sheet fell exposing her and I saw all the hickeys along her neck and on her breasts. "Kay please, let's talk about this. I'm so sorry and I regret this. I'm so sorry for hurting you like this, it wasn't planned."<br /> The nerve of this woman, I thought. I should have listened to my gut all those months ago. She kept thwarting our plans, started traveling a lot and would barely take my video calls then. And she kept changing or bashing my wedding plans and like a fool, I brushed it aside.<br /> Dimitri was the same, one business trip after another, late nights and then he was distant. When I asked him about it, he promised to do better than what he did, but there was a subtle change. We no longer have sleep.<br /> Both of them looked at me expectantly, waiting for the weak, docile Kayan to shed tears and assure them everything would be okay.<br /> I dropped my phone into my bag, grabbed my pistol and clicked the safety off. I swiftly fired two rounds which were followed by agonizing screams. I shot Dimitri in his thigh just inches from his shaft while Mariana got hers in her right shoulder. Just enough to cause pain but not be fatal.<br /> I walked out the room but turned to them saying " That's for the betrayal, I never want to see or hear from either of you again. The next time you won't be so lucky."<br /> I descended the stairs shakily, I touched my face checking for tears but there were none. My chest was convulsing but I refused to give in to the pain I was feeling.<br /> As I got to the last step, I looked around, marched over to the fireplace and threw all photos she had of us together into it. I lifted the stoker, broke her 60" Samsung TV and everything went red from thereon. I trashed her apartment then walked out as if nothing happened.<br /> I grabbed my baseball bat from my trunk, smashed all her windows and doors. Just as I about to leave, I saw Dimitri's Silver Range Rover across the street.<br /> How didn't I notice it before?<br /> I walked up to it and repeated my actions. When I was satisfied, I hopped into my van and drove away.<br /> ---- <br /> Dimitri<br /> I couldn't believe Kayan shot us and simply walked away. I had known her for over 6 years but I never encountered this side of her. I knew I deserved that, worst of all, I ruined the one good thing I had done.<br /> I was thinking with my shaft and not my brain, because in assessing the current situation, Mariana was just a good woman. There is attraction, but the feelings I have for Kayan are deeper.<br /> Her sobs reverberated around the bedroom , bringing me back to the current situation.<br /> When Kayan left the room, I heard her trashing Mariana's apartment downstairs and was about to go after her.<br /> Mariana's words stopped me dead in my tracks, "Leave her be, Dimitri, she will kill you! She needs to calm down first before we approach her." I turned to her slowly, trying to ignore the pain and blood gushing from my wound.<br /> "What do you mean Mari? I'm going after her! There is no us. This was a mistake. I need to talk to her!" I ran my hands over my face then slid my belt around my leg making a tourniquet.<br /> She slid off the bed, gripping the sheet with her uninjured shoulder. " Take it from me, we're lucky to be alive! You have never seen her upset or know what she's capable of in this state but I do!" She tiptoed to the door listening for any further sound from downstairs, but was greeted with silence.<br /> Mariana sat on the stairs shaking and crying while gripping her disheveled hair.<br /> The front door was ajar, I moved to lock it but the sight of Mariana's car took my breath away. I looked across the street to mine and it looked even worst.<br /> I shook my head, sighed and turned too quickly, causing a searing pain in the bullet wound.<br /> I called my driver Michael and told him to be quick and discreet.<br /> Mariana got dressed in the meantime while we waited with bated breaths.<br /> Michael arrived in about 10 minutes, his eyes expressed shock but he knew better than to ask any questions.<br /> He drove us to Wyckoff Medical, the only place I knew would be discreet about what happened.<br /> Using the back entrance, we were quickly ushered into separate rooms for assessment.<br /> As I laid on the bed, I felt Dr. Green prodding my wound for the bullet. He's been our family physician since I was a child, so when he asked who I pissed off this time , I sighed and ignored him.<br /> All I could think about was Kayan, she was my everything!<br /> Not anymore you prick, you screwed up and you're lucky to be alive, I shook my head, trying to shake guilt ridden thoughts from my subconscious.<br /> I reminisced on all the times we spent together, the plans we made for our future and our kids. I reflected on how she supported me even when my own father doubted me. She never gave up on me. You shut up Dimitri!<br /> Dr. Green waved his hand above my eyes while calling my name. " Did you hear anything I said just now?" he asked quietly.<br /> I sighed " No, what is it?". My tone was clipped but right now I didn't care, I could apologize later.<br /> He rolled his eyes before continuing "I said there's a detective waiting outside to talk to you, you know it's my duty to report this." He grabbed a scissors and cut the thread, signaling that he had finished stitching my wound.<br /> "You'll live, but stay off your feet for a few days, and use a crutch if you have to move around." Dr. Green bandaged my leg and was about to leave when I stopped him.<br /> "Wait, I apologize for my behavior Doc. Where's the young lady who came in with me? I need to see her now." He looked at me sadly, shook his head and left the room without a word.<br /> My guess is he figured out why Kayan hadn't rushed into the hospital demanding answers. The realization hit me of how I not only disappointed Kayan but everyone close to me, especially my parents. <br /> I must have dosed off from the pain medication I had gotten as I was woken up by Mariana gently shaking my shoulder and calling my name.<br /> Blinking my eyes to adjust to the bright lights, I grabbed the remote and adjusted my bed. Mariana looked terrible, her hair was unkempt and her eyes were swollen. Her right arm was bandaged and now in a sling.<br /> She sat in the chair beside the bed and hung her head low. " I spoke to the police, I told them we were mugged at the apartment as we were trying to finalize wedding arrangements." It was barely a whisper, but I sighed in relief.<br /> "We messed up but I agree, I'll tell them the same thing. Kayan doesn't deserve this." My throat felt hoarse so I reached for a tumbler with water, poured a cup and took several sips.<br /> " I told you we needed to stop Dimitri but you insisted on coming over!" I pinned her with a glare which caused her to shut up immediately.<br /> The nerve of this woman! I laughed coldly before turning to her " Oh so now it's my fault Mar? Surely you weren't complaining when I rammed your wet dripping private part with my shaft right? You never said stop! Anything else I'm forgetting?" My chest was heaving by the time I finished ranting.<br /> I was about to continue but her sobs erupted. She looked at me lost, guilt etched across her face before she stood to leave.<br /> "Look Mar, I'm sorry okay. I just don't know what to do." I held her wrist, my thumb caressing the inside of her hand in a comforting way. "How did she get in though?"<br /> Mariana was trembling as tears streamed down her face. She took a deep breath before she spoke. "I forgot she had a key from over a year ago. She would always check the place when I traveled for a convention or went to see my family."<br /> My mouth opened to speak but no words were forthcoming and they never came as the door banged open, slamming into the wall denting it.<br /> Jumping with fright, we turned to see my very pissed off father and my distraught mother. Before I could utter a word, he spoke," You, get out now and don't let me see your face again!" Mariana jumped in fear and ran from the room sobbing before I could stop her.<br /> "Dad i can explain...." He slammed his hand onto the small table, knocking the tumbler over.<br /> My mom grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down but he flicked her hand away and grabbed my hospital gown roughly, "Explain what exactly Dimitri? How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> "I'm going to fix this Dad, just give me a chance please." I turned towards my mom seeking support but she turned her head away from me. " Mom, please I'm sorry, I'll fix this. I'm gonna make everything right."<br /> My Dad simply scoffed at my words, took my Mom's hands and walked out the door.<br /> The only sound that filled the room was that of the water droplets bouncing on the floor.<br /> ---- <br /> Mariana<br /> I have never been more regretful in my entire life. My head was throbbing non stop, my eyes were puffy from all the tears I'd shed in the past 24 hours. My mind replayed the events and all I could think of, was that I should be dead by Kayan's hands.<br /> My driver dropped me off to the apartment, and as I stepped inside I once again surveyed the damage. Nothing was left untouched, I had to start over but I guess that's the price to pay for stabbing your best friend in the back for six months.<br /> I wanted to stop so many times, I knew it was wrong but Dimitri was like a spirit I couldn't get enough of.<br /> We decided to take the secret to our graves and everything was going great until I saw him a week later at Danny's Cafe. We sat and talked for a while but after an hour when we attempted to leave, the sexual tension was just too much to ignore.<br /> From thereon, we used our lunch breaks and any free time we could muster to screw each other senseless. After each encounter, we'd say it was the last time , but that never happened as soon after I took trips when he did or he came to my apartment before going home.<br /> All this time, I gave Kayan a million excuses as to why we couldn't meet up, continued planning her wedding virtually and offered excuses when she whined about Dimitri being overly consumed by work.<br /> I even ended things with my own boyfriend as our relationship became strained and miserable because of my infidelity.<br /> Now this is the endgame, I lost my best friend who always stood by me and I'm pretty sure Dimitri and I have no future.<br /> Sitting on the stairs, I decided to take a leap of faith and call Kayan. If I could just get her to listen to me for a second, I would tell her how sorry I am and try to fix things.<br /> As I dialed her number, it went directly to voice-mail, and after trying a few more times unsuccessfully, I decided to go see her. I ordered an Uber, waiting outside for a few minutes before the car pulled up.<br /> I got in, gave the driver her address and stared blankly out the window. The only sounds were that of the music playing in the dashboard.<br /> Ten minutes later, I was standing on the curb outside Kayan's townhouse. Hesitantly, I opened the gate, trudged up the steps and rang the bell. I was there waiting for a few minutes, I called her but there was no response.<br /> I walked to the garden by the lamp post where she always hid a spare key. It was gone.<br /> Just as I was about to step from the yard, I was stopped in my tracks by a faint voice. My hopes increased but when I turned around expecting Kayan, no one was there.<br /> What was that then, I thought to myself.<br /> I reopened the Uber app, placed my request and waited by the curb.<br /> "She's not here you know." I was startled by the voice and was relieved to see her neighbor Michael.<br /> "What do you mean? Where is she?" I asked hurriedly.<br /> He eyed me suspiciously before replying,<br /> "Seeing you here looking like poop tells me you had a role in Kay's sudden departure 2 hours ago." His words were true yet hurtful, I castedmy eyes down in shame.<br /> "You don't know, Mike, just tell me where she went, I need to talk to her before it's too late" I begged him.<br /> The prick was nonchalant as he leant against her gate typing away on his phone. After getting a ping, indicating a message, he looked up at me smirking.<br /> "Well if you must know, my girl left for England indefinitely..." he paused, struggling to hold back a snicker, "...Oh and she says you should go yourself or Dimatro, whatever the pretty boy's name is." Michael was now clutching his side laughing hysterically while I sighed in defeat.<br /> She's gone! And now there's no way I will find her because I can't go to her family and I'm pretty sure she's already changed her number!<br /> I didn't warrant Michael a response since the Uber pulled up, I hopped in and left.<br /> My phone began vibrating in my pocket and I grabbed it quickly, just hoping it would be Kayan. I was disappointed as Dimitri's name flashed on the screen.<br /> "What do you want Dimitri? Haven't we done enough, didn't you hear what your father said?" I shouted angrily, catching sight of the driver's raised brows in the rear view mirror.<br /> "Calm down Mari, I wanted to apologize for my Dad. I'm getting discharged now so I'm heading home, I need to sort things out with Kay." Though I had wanted the same thing minutes ago, I couldn't help the pang of jealousy that gripped me.<br /> Before I could stop myself I snarled in response<br /> "Thanks for asking how I'm doing you prick! Oh and don't bother going there because she's gone!"<br /> "What are you talking about Mari! This is not the time to joke with me..." I'd had enough of his nonsense so I cut him mid sentence " Kay's gone Dimitri, I just left the house, she's not home and her neighbor says she left for England." The other end of the line was silent.<br /> I looked at the screen to see if the call had been disconnected but the line was still open.<br /> "Dimitri?" He sighed in response and I heard him grunt in pain, perhaps moving too quickly on his injured leg.<br /> "I'm here Mari. How will I fix things if I don't know where to find her? Of all the places, she had to chose England!? Couldn't she have just gone to her parents? What am I going to do now?"<br /> I wanted to speak but my throat felt as if it was clogged.<br /> I cut the call, switched to airplane mode and rested my head against the window as fresh salty tears rolled down my cheeks.<br /> I lost everything.<br /> My best friend. Dimitri . And a family who accepted me without judgement and showed me nothing but love all these years. | Lio111 | 16 | https://facebook.com/61554822209907 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Instantly, my muscles all revolted against that idea. My entire body was sore, but my core made sure to remind me that it'd taken a beating the night before. I wiped my eyes and sat up, unsure of where I was for a moment. Until I looked around. There were toned and undressed hips all around me. I smiled to myself as I captured the image in my mind for rainy days in my future. Mack, Jones, and Xavier were all tangled in the different blankets they'd brought with them to bed the night before. Earlier that morning, really.<br /> The back of the tour bus was a bedroom, fitted with one massive bed that took up the entire room. The normal tour bus accommodations existed between the bathroom and large bedroom, but no one had volunteered to sleep in their usual bed. They'd each found a way to wrap around me in the big bed and didn't miss the chance to take me once more before we passed out for good.<br /> ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ<br /> Layla<br /> "Oh, yeah! Eat me, Matty!" The woman screaming for my boyfriend was the lead singer of a moderately popular band called The Homewreckers. It was an aptly named band, apparently. Of course, she sounded amazing as she screamed. I always felt like a choking chimpanzee when I came out loud.<br /> I stood in the doorway of The Homewreckers' dressing room and took a deep breath. Unfortunately, it was scented with weed. "Hey, Matthew?"<br /> Matthew, who'd always told me he hated being called Matty, yanked his head out of Miriam Dark's private part and spun around to face me. It was almost comical how fast he spun and how wide his eyes were. He was white collar handsome. His hair was always perfectly cut, his eyebrows were never too long or bushy, and he shaved his face twice a day. He had nice blue eyes and a nice smile. Nice body, nice manhood, nice guy. Well, maybe not a nice guy. After all, his face was covered in another woman's private partl fluids.<br /> "Layla! What are you doing here?" He climbed to his feet and I watched in disgust as he shoved his flaccid manhood back into his nice dress pants. Then, as an afterthought, he wiped his face and stumbled closer to me. "This isn't..."<br /> I rolled my eyes. "It isn't what it looks like? God, Matthew, at least be original."<br /> Miriam took her time closing her legs and gently patted Matthew's shoulder. "Are we done here, Matty? Or do you think you'll be finished soon and want to finish here?"<br /> Laughing, I rolled my shoulders and leveled a hard stare at Matty. "We're done. Whatever we had is over, so feel free to finish playtime with whoever and whatever. I'm on vacation for a few days, so don't call me."<br /> He rushed after me and grabbed my arm. "Wait a second, Layla. I'm sorry. I messed up. Just give me a second to explain."<br /> I yanked my arm free and scowled at him. "Don't touch me."<br /> "Come on, Layla. Don't be like this. Talk to me. I feel terrible." He tried to take my hand again. "Please, baby."<br /> I wasn't going to let him see that I was upset. He didn't deserve that. Instead, I stepped away from him and snarled. "Touch me and I'll break every one of your fingers, Matty. Go and finish sleeping with your client. I believe she's still waiting."<br /> "Jesus. You work for me, Layla! How do you think this is going to go?"<br /> I backed away from him. "I think it's going to go just fine. Like I said, I'm on vacation. Don't call me. Don't message me. Don't think about me. As my ex-boyfriend or my boss."<br /> " Maybe not you, the perfect Layla.You have to accept that." He followed me. "I know that. I shouldn't have started anything with Miriam, but when I'm on the road with the band, it's hard. I miss you and she's there."<br /> My heart hardened and I took a deep breath. "How long have you been sleeping with her?"<br /> He swallowed so hard I saw his Adam's apple bobble. "Come on, Layla. None of this will matter. I'll stop. I'll stop and we can get engaged. You want that, right?"<br /> I gagged. "Ew, Matthew. There's not a chance that I'm getting engaged to you! I'd rather stick my papilla in a truck winch and turn it on."<br /> Miriam sauntered out of her dressing room topless and looked me over. "We've been slept for a year. Matty eats private part like a champ."<br /> A real smile stretched my lips. "Now I know you're full of foolish talk. He might get an climax, but a champ? Hardly. Anyway, enjoy him. I hope him not having a girlfriend doesn't ruin your lady boner."<br /> "Miriam, go back inside! Layla, just stop and talk to me!"<br /> Miriam and I both answered Matthew in unison. <br /> I looked at her and shrugged. "Maybe you're not all bad."<br /> Without waiting for either of them to say anything else, I turned around and walked away, ignoring Matthew as he called my name. Eventually he stopped and I walked faster. I needed to get out of there before I cried. I wasn't about to cry backstage at a music festival. Someone would probably jump out and tit punch me as some anti-crying ritual.<br /> As I walked faster, I couldn't fight the way my eyes filled with tears. No matter how lackluster Matthew was, I'd devoted years of my life to him. I'd just wasted my vacation time on him, too. I thought sneaking out to meet him on the road would be fun and lend some much needed excitement to our relationship. Things hadn't been good...ever...but I'd hoped that we could at least get back to a place where I didn't dread seeing him at work every day.<br /> I wiped at my eyes and felt the mascara I'd coated my eyelashes with earlier. Stupid. I swore and stomped my way farther away from Matthew and the ugly end of our relationship. The image of his hip in the air while he happily ate Miriam Dark's hoo-hah like a pig in slop would forever be burned into my memory.<br /> I couldn't wait to get back home to my apartment and destroy everything of Matthew's that he'd left behind. I needed to update my social media. I didn't do much on it anymore, but I couldn't stand the idea of people thinking I was still with the loser. I'd have to call Grandma. That thought made me want to sob. She hated Matthew, but she liked that I wasn't alone in LA. Knowing I was single again was going to worry her. And if she told Jagger, my older brother, about me being single, Jagger would call and demand to know what'd happened. Then, he would try to fly out and kick Matthew's hip. It was just a mess.<br /> Growling out a frustrated sound, I looked down to make sure I stepped over a big mess of cords. I couldn't believe someone had left the stage like that. It was a hazard. Not to mention, it would be so easy to show if someone tripped over the wrong cord.<br /> I should've been paying attention because when the crowd's wild cheering broke through my self-pitying stupor, I looked up to see how close I'd gotten to the main stage. Unfortunately, a man with a guitar was coming off the stage, looking back at another man behind him. I was moving too fast to stop in time and he wasn't looking. It happened so fast that I didn't even make a sound as I smacked right into the man and felt pain before bouncing off his hard body and going down hard. Those tangled cords.<br /> I heard a deep voice growl above me, but I reached up to feel my forehead and felt something wet. I knew my eyes went as wide as softballs and when I pulled my fingers down and saw red, I groaned. Blood was my kryptonite. My vision darkened and I gagged on my way down.<br /> <br /> Mack<br /> "Well." By the time I realized what was happening, the curvy brunette was flat on the ground. I dropped to my knees next to her and swore when I saw the blood on her forehead. "This is a new form of falling for me."<br /> Xavier squatted on her other side and frowned. "Not really a great time for joking. You knocked her out."<br /> Jones sighed and ran his hands through his hair. "Where'd she come from? Also, maybe look where you're going from now on. You ran the poor thing over. Big time."<br /> I brushed her hair out of her face and had a completely ridiculous moment of feeling like I was staring down at Sleeping Beauty. She was gorgeous. I gently patted her soft cheek. "Ma'am? Hello?"<br /> "Great work. She's jumping right to life." Jones looked over his shoulder. "You've got about thirty seconds to get her on her feet and out of the way before the crowd beats back security and runs back here."<br /> I could hear the commotion he was hearing and ground my teeth. We'd just come off an amazing show. I had planned on going to a bar and getting hammered. Taking care of a Disney princess hadn't been in my plans, but it didn't look like I had an option. I couldn't just leave her on the ground and I didn't know any of the stage hands enough to trust them with an unconscious woman.<br /> "Fine." I stood up and lifted her body over my shoulder. Her head and arms hung limply and bounced off my hip, but I figured it was better for her than getting trampled to death. "Let's get her to our bus and get the medics to check her out. She'll be safe there until she can wake up and go."<br /> Xavier nodded once and charged ahead, clearing a path. He was a giant of a man and no one was dumb enough to stay in his way. They didn't understand what a gentle soul he was. I was thankful for that when they jumped out of our way, though. Especially with a crowd of rabid fans chasing after us.<br /> Jones barked at security to make sure no one followed us out into the artist lot and slammed the heavy metal door shut behind us. He swore and scowled at the door like it was the problem. "What do we even pay security for if they can't keep people away?"<br /> The woman over my shoulder groaned and grabbed my hips. I waited to see if she would say anything else, but she didn't. Her arms fell limp again and I released a breath at not having her scream and freak out while dangling over my shoulder.<br /> "I'll call the medic." Xavier hurried ahead to the bus.<br /> "This puts a damper on my plans." I sighed and glanced over at Jones. "We put on a good show and I was planning on drinking my face off to celebrate."<br /> "The medics are quick. We'll get her taken care of, apologize, and then send her on her way. With the medics, hopefully." He ran his eyes over the full hip over my shoulder. "Too bad you knocked her out before seeing if she wanted to drink with us."<br /> I laughed. "She sure is pretty. I doubt she'll be in a forgiving mood, though. I should've been looking at where I was going."<br /> "Why change now? Forget what I said earlier. We're in our forties. Let's not waste our time. Old dogs and new tricks, you know." He reached the bus before me and opened the door. "You put your guitar down."<br /> I winced. "I'll send a text to Shane as soon as I put her down."<br /> "I'll do it now. They're going to have to chase down whatever fan saw it and took it, probably. I highly doubt it's still sitting where you left it."<br /> I didn't want to think about my baby being in someone else's hands so instead, I focused on the woman in my arms. I climbed the steps and entered the bus, letting the cool AC wash over my overheated skin. The first space on the bus was a living room with four comfortable couches and I eased the unconscious woman down on one of them.<br /> Stretched out on the couch, her curves were even more noticeable. She was wearing tight black jeans and a low-cut top that was black and mostly straps and lace. I didn't get it, but I liked it. It was bad for me to notice her body, but the top curves of her breasts were spilling out of the shirt deliciously.<br /> I forced my eyes to her forehead and frowned. The cut was definitely from my baby. It looked like either a cord or a corner of my guitar had hit her just perfectly to leave a small cut. The skin around the cut didn't look too angry and overall, she looked okay. Besides being unconscious. I ran my hands under the back of her head and felt around to see if I found a lump from her hitting her head on the ground, but there was nothing.<br /> "The medics are tied up at another stage." Xavier growled in frustration and stared down at the woman. "Cut looks fine. Anything along the back of her head?"<br /> I shook my head. "No. She seems fine, honestly."<br /> "I don't like that she passed out." He sat down across from her and rested his elbows on his knees. "Go ahead and shower. I'll watch over her until you're back."<br /> Xavier, Jones, and I had served in the military together. We'd each done enough time to know how to take care of basic medical emergencies and several other things we'd never need in civilian life. It'd been a long time since any of us had to do first-aid in the field, but we could still hold our own.<br /> "Sure. I'll be fast." I winced. "I'm the one who plowed her over. I should be the one that has to explain it."<br /> I showered as fast as possible in the small bus bathroom but I still wasn't fast enough. By the time I shut the water off, I could already hear a husky female voice I didn't recognize ranting away. I wrapped a towel around myself and rushed out to apologize and get her to stop chewing out Jones and Xavier.<br /> What I found wasn't her chewing them out, though. She was pacing back and forth in front of where they sat on their own couches with her hands on her hips and fury on her face. She wasn't angry at us, though. Nope. It seemed another man had pissed in her cereal that morning.<br /> "This is just the cherry on the cake. Why not get a scar to memorialize the day I walked in on my boyfriend cheating on me? I'm so angry I could punch him in the manhood."<br /> I swear all three of us males cringed. I also had to rearrange my thinking. She was no Disney princess. She had spunk, to say the least.<br /> "She had the nerve to brag about his oral skills. Please. I literally have had better climaxs humping my hand. Either her needs are rock bottom, which is great for her if that's the case, or she was just lying to try to hurt me. I'm embarrassed, sure! It's not everyday you walk in on your boyfriend motorboating Miriam Dark's private part lips, but whatever. I'm just pissed. I came all the way here. I shaved. I put lotion on every inch of my body. Even the backs of my knees. Did I care that they're going to get sweaty faster now? Nope. I wanted to be smooth."<br /> I leaned against the doorway and let myself really look at her. She was taller than I'd thought and had legs that stretched on for miles. The black jeans hugged her full hip and hips in a way that made my mouth water. Her waist clipped in just enough that my hands would fit in the notch perfectly if I was taking her from behind. Her shirt made her full breasts look even more delicious while she was standing and I was at half-mast almost immediately.<br /> Her body, as stunning as it was, nearly touched on the beauty that was her face. Her big blue eyes were surrounded by dark eyelashes and her pouty mouth was stained red. She had dark brown hair down to her shoulders that curled wildly. If she hadn't been swearing, her creamy skin would've really made her look like a Disney princess. She could've probably gone down to Florida and got a job playing one of them right then. I'd never been attracted to a Disney princess before, though.<br /> "And you want to know the worst part? I work for the stupid prick. And no, before anyone has the jackass assumption that I'm sleeping my way into my position, I'm not. I'm better at his job than he is and I've been sticking around for even longer than I should've because he kept promising that he'd put in a good word with his boss for me. Because I deserve it. I do his work. I can't remember the last time he's had to do a single thing. At least he chose to sleep with Miriam himself. Although, I'm pretty sure I'd be better at that, too."<br /> Jones snorted and held up his hands when the little firecracker spun on him. "I'm not disagreeing with you, honey. I'm just enjoying hearing you eviscerate this manhoodhead."<br /> She stared at him and slowly her face darkened and she brought her hand up to cover her mouth. She looked absolutely distressed and I hated it.<br /> "What's wrong?" I made myself known and was rewarded with watching her eyes trail down my chest. The way her eyes got all bedroom heavy and she licked her lips turned that almost solid shaft into a full blown shaft. I had to shift to hide it from her curious eyes.<br /> She glanced back at Jones and then at Xavier. "Oh."<br /> Xavier stood up and inched towards her. "Are you okay? Your head... Is it hurting?"<br /> She looked up at him and I saw the way her body naturally swayed towards my giant of a best friend. Something about that made me want to hug her. Some women treated Xavier and his size like a threat and it hurt him. "Oh. I can't believe I didn't realize before now. You're JAX."<br /> Jones sighed and nodded. "Yep."<br /> She pushed her curls back from her face. "Don't worry. I'm not going to fangirl. I'm just mortified. I work for your record label and this is now the most unprofessional vacation I've ever taken. I have to go. Can you just forget you ever saw me?" | Libb002 | 48 | https://facebook.com/61551403614101 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

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. 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.

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.

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." | ForFun-120 | 72 | https://facebook.com/61554751622817 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Kayan<br /> I was betrayed by two people I trusted implicitly, my best friend and my fiancรฉ, or so i thought.<br /> Without saying a word, I bent down and picked up my phone. By this time Dimitri had donned his boxers and his slim fit navy dress pants. Mariana on the other hand was gripping the white sheet, trying to cover her body and was sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> Normally her tears would have stirred some sort of emotion but I felt absolutely nothing looking at her.<br /> Dimitri stepped towards me with his outstretched hand but I stepped back, and when I spoke my own voice surprised me.<br /> Two words, " How long?". I stared at both of them expectantly. Dimitri sighed and rubbed his face, looking at me with regret.<br /> When no response was forthcoming from him, I turned to Mariana and pinned her with a glare. " Shut up Mariana! I asked a question and I need an answer now!" I shouted.<br /> She pulled her knees to her chest as her body shook in fear, she had only seen me angry once so she knew not to taunt me. Dimitri on the other hand, was stunned.<br /> She looked at me and stuttered in fear " S....si...six months", and hung her head low. I absorbed her reply, laughed hysterically, which caught both of them by surprise. They looked at each other shrugging their shoulders and just as I started laughing suddenly, I stopped abruptly.<br /> "Six months you say? I guess this is the part where you'll say it was a mistake, you never meant to hurt me and you're both sorry right?." I spoke calmly, surprising myself.<br /> Dimitri was first to speak " Kay, please I'm so sorry. We were both tipsy after your work anniversary party,and after I dropped her off, everything went to terrible. I'm so sorry baby but..." I laughed again, cutting him off mid sentence.<br /> I held my hand up then turned to Mariana" What about you bimbo, any last words?" Her eyes bulged in fear and I watched her squirm in fear. She knew I could put a bullet between her eyes even with my eyes closed , thanks to my Dad taking me to the pistol range every Saturday for 2 years.<br /> She sprung to her knees, the sheet fell exposing her and I saw all the hickeys along her neck and on her breasts. "Kay please, let's talk about this. I'm so sorry and I regret this. I'm so sorry for hurting you like this, it wasn't planned."<br /> The nerve of this woman, I thought. I should have listened to my gut all those months ago. She kept thwarting our plans, started traveling a lot and would barely take my video calls then. And she kept changing or bashing my wedding plans and like a fool, I brushed it aside.<br /> Dimitri was the same, one business trip after another, late nights and then he was distant. When I asked him about it, he promised to do better than what he did, but there was a subtle change. We no longer have sleep.<br /> Both of them looked at me expectantly, waiting for the weak, docile Kayan to shed tears and assure them everything would be okay.<br /> I dropped my phone into my bag, grabbed my pistol and clicked the safety off. I swiftly fired two rounds which were followed by agonizing screams. I shot Dimitri in his thigh just inches from his shaft while Mariana got hers in her right shoulder. Just enough to cause pain but not be fatal.<br /> I walked out the room but turned to them saying " That's for the betrayal, I never want to see or hear from either of you again. The next time you won't be so lucky."<br /> I descended the stairs shakily, I touched my face checking for tears but there were none. My chest was convulsing but I refused to give in to the pain I was feeling.<br /> As I got to the last step, I looked around, marched over to the fireplace and threw all photos she had of us together into it. I lifted the stoker, broke her 60" Samsung TV and everything went red from thereon. I trashed her apartment then walked out as if nothing happened.<br /> I grabbed my baseball bat from my trunk, smashed all her windows and doors. Just as I about to leave, I saw Dimitri's Silver Range Rover across the street.<br /> How didn't I notice it before?<br /> I walked up to it and repeated my actions. When I was satisfied, I hopped into my van and drove away.<br /> ---- <br /> Dimitri<br /> I couldn't believe Kayan shot us and simply walked away. I had known her for over 6 years but I never encountered this side of her. I knew I deserved that, worst of all, I ruined the one good thing I had done.<br /> I was thinking with my shaft and not my brain, because in assessing the current situation, Mariana was just a good woman. There is attraction, but the feelings I have for Kayan are deeper.<br /> Her sobs reverberated around the bedroom , bringing me back to the current situation.<br /> When Kayan left the room, I heard her trashing Mariana's apartment downstairs and was about to go after her.<br /> Mariana's words stopped me dead in my tracks, "Leave her be, Dimitri, she will kill you! She needs to calm down first before we approach her." I turned to her slowly, trying to ignore the pain and blood gushing from my wound.<br /> "What do you mean Mari? I'm going after her! There is no us. This was a mistake. I need to talk to her!" I ran my hands over my face then slid my belt around my leg making a tourniquet.<br /> She slid off the bed, gripping the sheet with her uninjured shoulder. " Take it from me, we're lucky to be alive! You have never seen her upset or know what she's capable of in this state but I do!" She tiptoed to the door listening for any further sound from downstairs, but was greeted with silence.<br /> Mariana sat on the stairs shaking and crying while gripping her disheveled hair.<br /> The front door was ajar, I moved to lock it but the sight of Mariana's car took my breath away. I looked across the street to mine and it looked even worst.<br /> I shook my head, sighed and turned too quickly, causing a searing pain in the bullet wound.<br /> I called my driver Michael and told him to be quick and discreet.<br /> Mariana got dressed in the meantime while we waited with bated breaths.<br /> Michael arrived in about 10 minutes, his eyes expressed shock but he knew better than to ask any questions.<br /> He drove us to Wyckoff Medical, the only place I knew would be discreet about what happened.<br /> Using the back entrance, we were quickly ushered into separate rooms for assessment.<br /> As I laid on the bed, I felt Dr. Green prodding my wound for the bullet. He's been our family physician since I was a child, so when he asked who I pissed off this time , I sighed and ignored him.<br /> All I could think about was Kayan, she was my everything!<br /> Not anymore you prick, you screwed up and you're lucky to be alive, I shook my head, trying to shake guilt ridden thoughts from my subconscious.<br /> I reminisced on all the times we spent together, the plans we made for our future and our kids. I reflected on how she supported me even when my own father doubted me. She never gave up on me. You shut up Dimitri!<br /> Dr. Green waved his hand above my eyes while calling my name. " Did you hear anything I said just now?" he asked quietly.<br /> I sighed " No, what is it?". My tone was clipped but right now I didn't care, I could apologize later.<br /> He rolled his eyes before continuing "I said there's a detective waiting outside to talk to you, you know it's my duty to report this." He grabbed a scissors and cut the thread, signaling that he had finished stitching my wound.<br /> "You'll live, but stay off your feet for a few days, and use a crutch if you have to move around." Dr. Green bandaged my leg and was about to leave when I stopped him.<br /> "Wait, I apologize for my behavior Doc. Where's the young lady who came in with me? I need to see her now." He looked at me sadly, shook his head and left the room without a word.<br /> My guess is he figured out why Kayan hadn't rushed into the hospital demanding answers. The realization hit me of how I not only disappointed Kayan but everyone close to me, especially my parents. <br /> I must have dosed off from the pain medication I had gotten as I was woken up by Mariana gently shaking my shoulder and calling my name.<br /> Blinking my eyes to adjust to the bright lights, I grabbed the remote and adjusted my bed. Mariana looked terrible, her hair was unkempt and her eyes were swollen. Her right arm was bandaged and now in a sling.<br /> She sat in the chair beside the bed and hung her head low. " I spoke to the police, I told them we were mugged at the apartment as we were trying to finalize wedding arrangements." It was barely a whisper, but I sighed in relief.<br /> "We messed up but I agree, I'll tell them the same thing. Kayan doesn't deserve this." My throat felt hoarse so I reached for a tumbler with water, poured a cup and took several sips.<br /> " I told you we needed to stop Dimitri but you insisted on coming over!" I pinned her with a glare which caused her to shut up immediately.<br /> The nerve of this woman! I laughed coldly before turning to her " Oh so now it's my fault Mar? Surely you weren't complaining when I rammed your wet dripping private part with my shaft right? You never said stop! Anything else I'm forgetting?" My chest was heaving by the time I finished ranting.<br /> I was about to continue but her sobs erupted. She looked at me lost, guilt etched across her face before she stood to leave.<br /> "Look Mar, I'm sorry okay. I just don't know what to do." I held her wrist, my thumb caressing the inside of her hand in a comforting way. "How did she get in though?"<br /> Mariana was trembling as tears streamed down her face. She took a deep breath before she spoke. "I forgot she had a key from over a year ago. She would always check the place when I traveled for a convention or went to see my family."<br /> My mouth opened to speak but no words were forthcoming and they never came as the door banged open, slamming into the wall denting it.<br /> Jumping with fright, we turned to see my very pissed off father and my distraught mother. Before I could utter a word, he spoke," You, get out now and don't let me see your face again!" Mariana jumped in fear and ran from the room sobbing before I could stop her.<br /> "Dad i can explain...." He slammed his hand onto the small table, knocking the tumbler over.<br /> My mom grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down but he flicked her hand away and grabbed my hospital gown roughly, "Explain what exactly Dimitri? How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> "I'm going to fix this Dad, just give me a chance please." I turned towards my mom seeking support but she turned her head away from me. " Mom, please I'm sorry, I'll fix this. I'm gonna make everything right."<br /> My Dad simply scoffed at my words, took my Mom's hands and walked out the door.<br /> The only sound that filled the room was that of the water droplets bouncing on the floor.<br /> ---- <br /> Mariana<br /> I have never been more regretful in my entire life. My head was throbbing non stop, my eyes were puffy from all the tears I'd shed in the past 24 hours. My mind replayed the events and all I could think of, was that I should be dead by Kayan's hands.<br /> My driver dropped me off to the apartment, and as I stepped inside I once again surveyed the damage. Nothing was left untouched, I had to start over but I guess that's the price to pay for stabbing your best friend in the back for six months.<br /> I wanted to stop so many times, I knew it was wrong but Dimitri was like a spirit I couldn't get enough of.<br /> We decided to take the secret to our graves and everything was going great until I saw him a week later at Danny's Cafe. We sat and talked for a while but after an hour when we attempted to leave, the sexual tension was just too much to ignore.<br /> From thereon, we used our lunch breaks and any free time we could muster to screw each other senseless. After each encounter, we'd say it was the last time , but that never happened as soon after I took trips when he did or he came to my apartment before going home.<br /> All this time, I gave Kayan a million excuses as to why we couldn't meet up, continued planning her wedding virtually and offered excuses when she whined about Dimitri being overly consumed by work.<br /> I even ended things with my own boyfriend as our relationship became strained and miserable because of my infidelity.<br /> Now this is the endgame, I lost my best friend who always stood by me and I'm pretty sure Dimitri and I have no future.<br /> Sitting on the stairs, I decided to take a leap of faith and call Kayan. If I could just get her to listen to me for a second, I would tell her how sorry I am and try to fix things.<br /> As I dialed her number, it went directly to voice-mail, and after trying a few more times unsuccessfully, I decided to go see her. I ordered an Uber, waiting outside for a few minutes before the car pulled up.<br /> I got in, gave the driver her address and stared blankly out the window. The only sounds were that of the music playing in the dashboard.<br /> Ten minutes later, I was standing on the curb outside Kayan's townhouse. Hesitantly, I opened the gate, trudged up the steps and rang the bell. I was there waiting for a few minutes, I called her but there was no response.<br /> I walked to the garden by the lamp post where she always hid a spare key. It was gone.<br /> Just as I was about to step from the yard, I was stopped in my tracks by a faint voice. My hopes increased but when I turned around expecting Kayan, no one was there.<br /> What was that then, I thought to myself.<br /> I reopened the Uber app, placed my request and waited by the curb.<br /> "She's not here you know." I was startled by the voice and was relieved to see her neighbor Michael.<br /> "What do you mean? Where is she?" I asked hurriedly.<br /> He eyed me suspiciously before replying,<br /> "Seeing you here looking like poop tells me you had a role in Kay's sudden departure 2 hours ago." His words were true yet hurtful, I castedmy eyes down in shame.<br /> "You don't know, Mike, just tell me where she went, I need to talk to her before it's too late" I begged him.<br /> The prick was nonchalant as he leant against her gate typing away on his phone. After getting a ping, indicating a message, he looked up at me smirking.<br /> "Well if you must know, my girl left for England indefinitely..." he paused, struggling to hold back a snicker, "...Oh and she says you should go yourself or Dimatro, whatever the pretty boy's name is." Michael was now clutching his side laughing hysterically while I sighed in defeat.<br /> She's gone! And now there's no way I will find her because I can't go to her family and I'm pretty sure she's already changed her number!<br /> I didn't warrant Michael a response since the Uber pulled up, I hopped in and left.<br /> My phone began vibrating in my pocket and I grabbed it quickly, just hoping it would be Kayan. I was disappointed as Dimitri's name flashed on the screen.<br /> "What do you want Dimitri? Haven't we done enough, didn't you hear what your father said?" I shouted angrily, catching sight of the driver's raised brows in the rear view mirror.<br /> "Calm down Mari, I wanted to apologize for my Dad. I'm getting discharged now so I'm heading home, I need to sort things out with Kay." Though I had wanted the same thing minutes ago, I couldn't help the pang of jealousy that gripped me.<br /> Before I could stop myself I snarled in response<br /> "Thanks for asking how I'm doing you prick! Oh and don't bother going there because she's gone!"<br /> "What are you talking about Mari! This is not the time to joke with me..." I'd had enough of his nonsense so I cut him mid sentence " Kay's gone Dimitri, I just left the house, she's not home and her neighbor says she left for England." The other end of the line was silent.<br /> I looked at the screen to see if the call had been disconnected but the line was still open.<br /> "Dimitri?" He sighed in response and I heard him grunt in pain, perhaps moving too quickly on his injured leg.<br /> "I'm here Mari. How will I fix things if I don't know where to find her? Of all the places, she had to chose England!? Couldn't she have just gone to her parents? What am I going to do now?"<br /> I wanted to speak but my throat felt as if it was clogged.<br /> I cut the call, switched to airplane mode and rested my head against the window as fresh salty tears rolled down my cheeks.<br /> I lost everything.<br /> My best friend. Dimitri . And a family who accepted me without judgement and showed me nothing but love all these years. | Wha002 | 29 | https://facebook.com/61554783541379 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

And he said he would never hurt me.<br /> He was my everything, in these few short moments, he has given me a safe haven, a home in his arms.<br /> When I came to his pack with him, I noticed that everyone around me was staring at us.<br /> โSeriously, why are they staring at us? Itโs kind of creepy,โ I asked him.<br /> โLuna, itโs so good to meet you!โ a girl said to me.<br /> โWhy are you calling me Luna, and what is wrong with all these people? Have you never seen an overgrown giant carry a broken girl before?โ<br /> โWe are calling you Luna because Drake is our alpha.โ<br /> My jaw drops as I look back at Drake. <br /> โThey are all staring at him because they are scared of him. He is Alpha Drake Moon of the Blood Moon pack.โ<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Lilly's POV<br /> I limp out of the room. It takes all of our concentration to stay on our feet, but after a minute bile rises up my throat. My insides churn as I trip and fall, the ground moving below me, but as I land, I land in someoneโs arms.<br /> I look up, my eyes watering as I take a large inhale of his scent, the anxiety and turmoil inside my body relaxing as I look into his perfect, perfect face. Tingles of pleasure ripple under my skin as his hands hold my body, replacing the pain with peace. As our eyes meet itโs like a current flows through me, straight into him. Layla gasps as we watch each other.<br /> โMate.โ<br /> โMate,โ we both cry at the same time, tears flooding my vision as he pulls me against him.<br /> โWhaโoh myโwho did this?โ he roars, my body flinching. โSorry, no, donโt be scared of me. But who would do this?โ he says to me, stuttering.<br /> I wasnโt sure if he was talking to me or not, or maybe he was just in shock, rambling because he was nervous.<br /> But before I could find out, My body shuts off as I pass out in the mate of my dreamsโ arms, Layla finally relaxing as the world around us goes into darkness.<br /> --<br /> I wake up with a sense of loss. I panic, not knowing where I am. Machines are beeping, I am cold, I have no idea what is going on.<br /> My heart pounds in my chest as I try to move, my body screams in pain. Iโm blinded by a light as I try and remember what is going on.<br /> The faster my heart rate beats the louder the beeping gets. I squint, lifting my head.<br /> Just then the man of my dreams runs through the door. Realising I am dreaming I take a breath, relaxing as my breathing starts to level out.<br /> โAre you ok!!!โ He grabs my face. But to my shock sparks light up all over my body. Layla pushes forward as his touch wakes us up.<br /> โThat doesnโt normally happen,โ I whisper to him.<br /> He frowns. โWhat doesnโt?โ<br /> His voice is louder than usual. It was like velvet, smooth but strong, demanding but patient. The sound brought life to my ears, filling me with hope.<br /> โIn my dreams you didnโt feel sparky.โ<br /> Layla pushes forward, purring as she moves our head into his hands. He looks at me, puzzled. โYou dreamed of me?โ<br /> โAm I not dreaming now?โ I ask.<br /> His eyebrow shoots up into the air as he lets out a chuckle, shaking his head. โNope, Iโm all real, babe.โ<br /> My mind is racing, trying to think of what he is talking about. What day was it? What happened? When did he get here? I had so many questions that I needed answers too, but every time I tried to ask, the sheer beauty of his face stunned me to silence.<br /> โYouโre not dreaming, Lilly. This is real, he is real,โ<br /> Layla tells me softly. Tears pool in my eyes as I take in every inch of his perfect face.<br /> He is all man, ruggedly handsome. His messy hair was long, out of place where his fingers had slipped through his dark brown locks. It is scissor cut at the sides, giving definition to his sharp and chiselled jaw. The muscles in his cheeks ripple as he talks.<br /> He must be 25/30 years old, clean shaven and so so beautiful. His dark long lashes frame his beautiful brown eyes. They hold wisdom, sparkling against the bright light, but the dark circles under his eyes had me worrying.<br /> Was he ok? Why did he look so tired? So stressed?<br /> He is tall, really tall, maybe 6ft 2/6ft 4. His large wide shoulders are perfectly proportioned to his huge muscular body. The black T-shirt he was wearing stretched over his body, fitting him far to snug for my liking.<br /> A sense of jealousy overwhelms me as I see what every other female sees, simply put he was walking, talking perfection and the thought of anyone but me ogling him left a bad taste in my mouth.<br /> My dreams have done him justice, but not even my subconscious could muster up the true beauty that stands before me.<br /> I reach out to touch him, my hand connecting to his face, sparks lighting up my fingertips as I watch him, amazed that anyone could be this beautiful, shocked that he was made for little old me and fearful that I would never be worthy of such a hunk.<br /> But as he closes his eyes at my touch, moaning, I canโt help the smile that spreads across my face.<br /> I was stunned that I too could make him feel that same sense of peace and acceptance that he made me feel every time we touched.<br /> dropping his head slightly, his breath fans my face.<br /> My body goes to blubber as his sweet vanilla scent makes my mouth water, setting every nerve end in my body on fire. Filling me with need and a desire so strong it almost chokes me.<br /> Layla pushes forward before I have the chance to stop her, her own strength overpowering my body easily, she grabs his face and slams our lips against his.<br /> My eyes slam closed and my mind comes to life, every colour of the rainbow explodes behind my eyelids as our lips touch for the very first time.<br /> We both freeze in shock, I was nervous he would reject us, but my body slowly relaxes as he busses me back.<br /> My body immediately responds, my lips fit against his perfectly, made for each other, like it was always meant to be.<br /> He moans as his tongue softly prods at my lips. My mouth opens just as he sweeps his tongue against my own. My body jolts to life when the sparks start in my mouth and spread throughout my body.<br /> Our buss is amazing, all consuming as every painful sore muscle loosens, my body wrapping around his as I pull him towards me. All sense goes out the window at his touch.<br /> โAchhhhhhhhhmmm.โ<br /> He starts to pull away but Layla isnโt having it, instead dragging him closer.<br /> โAcccchhhhhhemmmmmmm.โ<br /> He pulls back only slightly, chuckling when I realise we are no longer alone but Layla continues to cling to him, not wanting to let him go.<br /> โBabe, the doctorโs here to see you. Maybe we can pick this up when we are alone.โ My face flushes red.<br /> โOh, sorry. I might have gotten a little carried away,โ<br /> Layla tells me, giggling. I roll my eyes at her. โA little? Jeez, I donโt even know his name,โ I snap back as she cackles away in my head.<br /> โIโm so sorry, Iโm so embarrassed,โ I whisper, my cheeks heating. He snorts, shaking his head. โDonโt be, I didnโt want to stop either.โ<br /> A girly giggle escapes my lips at the fact someone that bloody beautiful wanted to buss me. Just then the doctor walks over, smiling. โDonโt worry about it. I canโt say I blame you to be honest,โ he tells my mate, winking. My mate growls, glaring at him. โMine,โ he snaps.<br /> The doctor snorts, shaking his head as I blush again, bright red. Gosh, I canโt remember ever blushing this much before ever.<br /> โWhatโs your first name?โ the doctor asks.<br /> โItโs Lilly, Lilly Morgan,โ I say with a small smile. โAnd what pack are you from, Lilly?โ<br /> Oh, the pack! My dadโs going to kill me. I am meant to be helping them.<br /> โOh, fuckity balls!โ I squeak, jumping up and looking around the room.<br /> โHey, wow, itโs ok! Stay calm, youโre ok here.โ I shake my head, realising my clothes are covered in dry blood.<br /> My mate runs his hand up and down my back gently. โShhh, itโs ok, I promise.โ<br /> I take a breath, his touch calming both me and Layla. It almost makes me feel sedated as my entire body relaxes. โUm, Iโm from Droim Mor pack,โ I say nervously, afraid I will get in trouble.<br /> โAnd what happened to you, Lilly?โ I chew my bottom lip. What do I say? I look between them nervously.<br /> โHe is our mate. We can trust him.โ<br /> โBut what will he do? What if dad turns him against us?โ<br /> She shakes her head. โNo, no more thinking about him. We need to move on, Lilly, and our mate is the way out!โ<br /> โLilly, itโs ok. They wonโt hurt you ever again. But I need to know who hurt you, baby.โ I look into his eyes and every fibre in my body believes what he says, but it is still extremely hard to admit it out loud.<br /> โMyyy f-atherrr,โ I whisper.<br /> He lets out a sharp growl. My body tenses at the noise. I clench my eyes closed, taking a deep breath to calm my racing heart.<br /> Suddenly the noise stops and his hands land on my back, calming me once again. โSorry Lilly, I didnโt mean to scare you.โ<br /> He lifts my chin, his eyes meeting mine. โI wonโt hurt you, I wonโt ever hurt YOU.โ<br /> Every emotion possible passes through me at his words, my heart shattering as all the fear, the anxiety and depression all come crashing down as I sob into my hands. I had been holding it all back for years, only letting a little escape at a time.<br /> But it felt like it was a dam that my mate pulled to pieces in a few short seconds, exposing the truth of the past, the pain that I had been through and the trauma that I would live with forever.<br /> โItโs ok, he wonโt hurt us,โ Layla says softly, trying to comfort me.<br /> โI know, but I canโt believe itโs over,โ I tell her. He pulls me against his chest, running his hand up and down my back. โShhhhh, itโs ok, Iโve got you now, babe.โ<br /> For some silly reason that makes me cry harder. Every pain, break, bruise, every time he raped me, hit me, kicked me. It all hits me, it all destroys me as I cry it all out. I felt like a weak little girl, being held together by a big strong man. Strangely, I didnโt hate it, in fact, I craved that strength, that safe space where I could fall apart and still be held together.<br /> He was it, he was my everything, in these few short moments, he has given me a safe haven, a home in his arms.<br /> โIโm so sorry, Iโm so sorry I scared you, Iโm so sorry I wasnโt there. But I am now, and nobody will ever hurt you again,โ he tells me, rubbing calming circles up and down my back.<br /> I pull back, wiping my face as I shake my head. โItโs not on you, he did this, not you.โ I use his shirt to wipe my tears.<br /> He chuckles, watching me as I pull myself together.<br /> When Iโm done sobbing like a big baby he lifts my chin and he places a gentle buss against my lips.<br /> โOk, Lilly, I need you to lie back so I can check you over,โ<br /> the doctor says, pulling me from my thoughts.I smile, lying back as he comes to my side.<br /> My mate whose name is still a mystery glares at him. He watches as he lifts my top to check my body. My mateโs eyes widen as he gasps, looking to the doctor and back to me.<br /> He starts to poke and prod at me. Nothing hurts all that much. I look like bad but I no longer feel like bad. Layla turns away from me, going to the back of my head and shutting me out.<br /> โI donโt know how, Lilly, but your ribs are already healed.โ<br /> โYeah, they donโt hurt either.โ He frowns, looking to my mate. His face is like stone as the doctor helps me sit up.<br /> Other than feeling a little dizzy I feel ok. He checks me over, shining lights in my eyes, tapping my reflexes and checking the wound on my head.<br /> โOther than a concussion and a lot of bruising, your body has somehow healed. Iโm not sure how, but it has.โ He starts writing stuff down on a chart. โIf you promise to take it easy I donโt see why you canโt take her home today.โ<br /> I look to my mate awkwardly. His face lights up as he smiles down at me. โI think I can see to that.โ<br /> I sigh in relief. The thought of going back near that monster makes me feel physically ill. โOf course it goes without saying that you stay far away from your father.โ<br /> โDonโt worry, if I have my way she wonโt ever see his dirty rotten face again,โ he snaps.<br /> I smirk up at him as he turns, lifting a bag and placing it on the bed beside me. โI had my people run out and grab you some clothes.โ<br /> โPeople? You have people?โ I ask, chewing my lip. He nods. โYes, we have people now,โ he answers.<br /> โDo you need help getting changed, Lillyโโ Before the doctor even has a chance to answer, our mate growls, his wolf pushing forward and grabbing him by the scruff of the neck. โMine!โ The doctor puts his hands in the air.<br /> โI meant the nurses! Youโre really big,โ he wheezes, catching his hand. Satisfied with that answer, our mate drops him. โIf my mate needs help I will help her,โ he snaps impatiently.<br /> โYes, I think we have established that, jeez.โ He pats his shirt down, clearly amused by the entire thing as I take into a fit of giggles, shaking my head.<br /> โSo not to make things awkward but would you mind telling me your name?โ I ask, scratching the back of my head. The doctor bursts out laughing at the fact.<br /> My mate smirks, looking at me. โDrake, Drake Moon.โ<br /> โSeven, double O seven,โ the doctor teases. Drake glares at him as I laugh, shaking my head. โYou realise itโs Bond, James Bond, right?โ I ask, his face flushes red.<br /> Drake snorts, laughing with me.<br /> โYeah, I think itโs time for Mr Bond over here to get out, get out right now,โ he snaps at the poor doctor.<br /> I am so busy laughing I donโt even care that that was totally rude. โJust trying to lighten the mood, dude, but whatever. Good luck, Lilly.โ He winks as he leaves, closing the door behind him.<br /> Drake watches him go. Then he turns back to me. โDid he just call me dude?โ He says it like it tastes funny, screwing his face up as I laugh even harder. He chuckles, pulling clothes out of the bag for me.<br /> โWe didnโt know your size, so Fiona got you one of those long dresses with a cardigan.โ He pulls out a black maxi dress with a yellow cardigan. It is simple but pretty.<br /> I pull off my shirt and hand it to him. His eyes widen as he freezes, his eyes on my chest. I take the dress from his hand and I pull it over my head, smirking at him. โYou ok over there?โ I ask.<br /> He shakes himself a little, his eyes returning to my eyes as his face flares slightly. โYeah, sorry. I just wasnโt prepared,โ he says, clearing his throat.<br /> I chuckle, grabbing the cardigan. I pull it on. He hands me a brush next, so I pull it through my tangled web of hair, giving up and pulling it into a messy bun on my head.<br /> โWhat time is it? Iโm starving.โ<br /> โBreakfast.โ Iโm surprised by that. โHow long have I been sleeping?โ He checks the time on his watch. โI found you at 3pm yesterday. Itโs seven now, so 16 hours.โ<br /> I shake my head. โHe started the beating at around seven yesterday morning. I must have passed out until I walked into you.โ<br /> His jaw ticks, closing his eyes. โIโve never seen anything like it before. I donโt know how you were even conscious and I definitely donโt know how youโre healed right now.โ<br /> I shrug, wondering that too. Layla is still locking me out so she is zero help. He passes me my Converses next so I pull them on and touch my toes to the floor, cringing as the muscles in my legs ache. He catches my hips as I take a step, my head going woozy as I grab hold of his arms.<br /> โWow,โ I snap, losing my balance.<br /> He scoops me up. โYeah, youโre not walking anywhere like that. Iโll just have to carry you,โ he smirks, planting a soft buss against my lips. I smile against his lips, relaxing into his arms as he surrounds me, making my tiny frame feel so safe.<br /> โDo you want to eat in the room or in the dining hall with myโno, sorry, our people?โ I wish I knew what โour peopleโ meant.<br /> Layla comes forward smiling at me. โDo it! I want to meet them,โ she tells me encouragingly. โThe dining hall, please.โ<br /> He smiles, grabbing my phone off the side table and he hands it to me. I check it as we walk. I have so many messages from Emma. Feeling guilty, I open them immediately.<br /> โHey howโs the summit?โ<br /> โHey where are you?โ<br /> โLilly youโre doing that really annoying thing that you do, text me back please!!โ<br /> โOh for heaven's sake you better have a good excuse for not answering meโ<br /> โWho is that?โ Drake asks, pushing his head between me and my phone to look at my messages. I giggle. โItโs my best friend Emma. Sorry, only friend. She just met her mate and moved to the Blood Moon pack and she gets crazy if I donโt text her back.โ<br /> He smirks, pursing his lips. โWhat does she think of it? Blood Moon I mean?โ<br /> I shrug. โShe seems to like it ok, said the people are nice. The alpha is a little scary but the pack is better than the one we came from.โ<br /> He nods his head. โWhy is he scary?โ he asks, screwing up his nose.<br /> โI donโt know. She said when he walks into the room he shuts most conversations down. He only really socialises with his ranked members.โ He shrugs.<br /> โMaybe he only socialises with his ranked members because thatโs all the people in the world he can trust. Blood Moonโs a big pack, a lot of people would be out for his job.โ I nod my head. โI hear that. Up until now Emma is the only person in the world that I can trust.โ<br /> He smiles, not adding anything more as I type a message back.<br /> โHey sorry, I met my mate and I didnโt have my phone. But Iโm ok, I can ring you later when things settle downโ<br /> โIf you trust her, why are you lying to her?โ I shrug.<br /> โI donโt want her to worry about something she canโt change. Sheโs all the way there and Iโm all the way here, plus Iโm ok really.โ<br /> โYouโre ok? Lilly youโre black and blue. You have a concussion. You are the definition of not ok.โ I smirk at him.<br /> Layla purses her lips. โMaybe he has a point,โ she says thoughtfully. โI am, yeah Iโm black and blue, but Iโm not in pain. I found you. To me Iโm ok.โ<br /> He smiles at me. โYouโre really rather remarkable, arenโt you?โ I blush as he drops his head in the crook of my neck, sniffing me. โAnd you smell so good!โ<br /> He nips my neck with his teeth, sending a shiver straight down my spine. I gasp at the feel of his lips against my skin. It feels like I have just found my heart and soul. Now itโs having a party, celebrating the fact that we are finally back together.<br /> โSo these people that are ours, who are they?โ I ask, trying to distract myself from the flooding of my arousal flowing through my body. I definitely donโt want the entire lobby smelling my arousal. โJust our people,โ he says, heading towards the dining room.<br /> โBut why are they our people?โ He purses his lips, thinking. As we walk, everyone in our path steps out of it. It is like they are grapes shrivelling up and turning into raisins.<br /> --<br /> Reaching the dining hall the entire place goes quiet. I look behind us, wondering what they are afraid of. He snorts, chuckling.<br /> โWhat are they so afraid of?โ I snap, making him laugh, shaking his head. A table not far in front of us all stand up, grinning as we approach. But by now you could hear a pin drop. The entire place has completely shut down.<br /> โSeriously, why are they staring at us? Itโs kind of creepy.โ He just continues to chuckle as two men and a lady smile. โLuna, itโs so good to meet you!โ I freeze, looking up at Drake.<br /> โWhy is he laughing, why are you calling me Luna, and what is wrong with all these people? Have you never seen an overgrown giant carry a broken girl before?โ<br /> I snap louder, glaring at the crowd as Drake throws his head back, howling. His friends look between each other, then back at us. โI canโtโyouโtellโher, I canโt,โ he splutters, taking a seat with me on his knee.<br /> The girl starts to giggle, shaking her head. โWe are calling you Luna because Drake is our alpha, me and Ben are his betas, and Mark is his gamma.โ<br /> My jaw drops as I look back at Drake. โThey are all staring at him because they are scared of him. He is Alpha Drake Moon of the Blood Moon pack.โ<br /> My face falls as I gasp. Turning around I slap his shoulder. โYou big prick, you let me go on and on.โ<br /> He howls in laughter again as the crowd around us gasp at me hitting him.<br /> โOh shut up. Heโs my mate, Iโm allowed to hit him.โ I glare at an old pair sitting behind us as Drake takes a deep steadying breath.<br /> โI swear that was amazing,โ Drake says as he finally stops laughing at me. He leans forward, bussing my lips as I glare at him.<br /> โOh come on, donโt be grumpy. It was a little funny.โ I smirk, trying to hide my smile. Lifting my fingers I pinch them together. โOk, maybe a little.โ<br /> He pecks my lips again, pulling back, and he buries his head in the crook of my neck, sniffing in my scent. His body relaxes immediately as I look back at โour peopleโ.<br /> โSo Iโm a luna? Are you sure you want me as a luna?โ<br /> I ask, screwing up my face.<br /> โOh we want you as a luna! You just hit the alpha. I love you already and there is no give backs. We are keeping you,โ the one called Ben says.<br /> Fiona nods her head in agreement. โAgreed, we are keeping you.โ<br /> โI also think youโre awesome,โ Mark adds.<br /> Drake snorts. โYouโve never called me any of those things.โ<br /> โThatโs because youโre a big grump. Luna Lilly is already winning,โ Fiona says. Drake flips her the bird. โThatโs your birthday present going into the furnace when I get home.โ<br /> She snorts, rolling her eyes. โOh please, I have your card in my back pocket. I donโt need no half assed attempt at a gift when I can just buy my own, thank you very much,โ<br /> she snaps, opening her menu and winking at me. I giggle as Drake rolls his eyes.<br /> โSo are we ever going to get to the part where you tell us who did that to you, Luna?โ My body tenses immediately. All thoughts of my father have all but disappeared. But as I shake off the feeling and go to open my mouth I hear a growl rumbling through the dining hall.<br /> One so familiar my entire body runs cold. My heart rate accelerates as all the breath leaves my lungs. I scrunch my eyes closed as my frame starts to tremble in fear, tears pooling in my eyes. Waiting for the hit that usually came after that terrifying sound. | Shep002 | 61 | https://facebook.com/100093452425291 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | 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. 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 /> "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 | Vam005 | 30 | https://facebook.com/61550884130918 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

"<br /> "Elliot, what's going on?" I look at him, then at her, and back at him.<br /> He quickly stands up from his seat. "She was just leaving. Weren't you, Clara?<br /> She bats her eyelashes rapidly. "Honey, I think it's time for her to learn the truth. Don't you agree?"<br /> Clara laughs, looking at me. "I'm the woman who slept with him yesterday and the days before."<br /> "Taylor, please let me explain." He has the nerve to plead with me, after what he did.<br /> No. I won't stay here and listen as he tries to find an excuse for what he did. <br /> "Taylor, please. I want to talk to you." He tries again.<br /> "There's nothing to talk about" I snap at him.<br /> <br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> <br /> I take the stairs to go to my apartment. Iโm so lost in my thoughts, that I donโt pay any attention to my surroundings.<br /> "Watch it!โ Someone warns me.<br /> I look up, and a man that I have never seen before is standing right in front of me. He has dark hair cut in a military style and deep blue eyes. I see tattoos on his neck that seem to go all the way down to his torso. I canโt help, but think how handsome he is. I take a step back to put some distance between us.<br /> He must be my new neighbour.<br /> I smile as I present my hand to him. โHello, my name is Taylor Walker. Whatโs yourโs?โ<br /> He glares at me as if Iโm already a nuisance to him. โAnnoyed.โ He let out as he walks past me.<br /> Rude! I say to myself before I keep walking up the stairs.<br /> I unlock the door with my keys and look through my mail. โBills. Bills. Bills.โ I mumble to myself.<br /> I will deal with them later. Right now, all I want is to take a cup of coffee before I put myself pretty for my date with Elliot.<br /> I donโt smoke or drink. My only dope is coffee. I need at least four cups per day, and thatโs when I have a good day.<br /> As I make a cup of coffee for myself, I take a disposable cup to make another one. I donโt know why I even bother with this. So why am I purring a second cup for a man I donโt even know, is beyond me.<br /> Okay, Iโll admit. I didnโt like our first encounter.<br /> I wonder if he takes sugar or milk. He seems like a man that likes his coffee black.<br /> I bite my lips nervously as I pass my threshold.<br /> Why am I doing this again? I ask myself on the way to his apartment.<br /> I know where he leaves. Heโs my next-door neighbour.<br /> I clear my throat as I knock on his door.<br /> No response.<br /> I knock again.<br /> โWhat the freak do you want?โ He snaps at me while he opens his door.<br /> My heart skips a beat. Maybe itโs because of his deep blue eyes that they keep staring at me as if they want to devour my soul or something.<br /> I smile so he wonโt notice how nervous he makes me. โUhmm, I wanted to properly welcome you to the building.โ I give him the cup of coffee that I made for him.<br /> He takes a drag at his cigar, looking at my body all the way up to my eyes. โAre you here, because you want to freak?โ<br /> My jaw drops on the floor. โWhat? No!โ I nearly scream at him.<br /> He chuckles, seeing my reaction. โThatโs what I thought.โ He starts to close the door.<br /> โWait, you could at least tell me your name.โ I wonโt back down, even if his words made me uncountable. I put my hand in my chest to give a little drama. โDonโt tell me that a man at your size is scared by a little woman like myself.โ Itโs my turn to tease him.<br /> Iโm five foot tall, and heโs like six. Heโs a mountain man.<br /> He takes the cup from my hand. โIโm not scared. Thank you for the coffee, buttercup.โ He then closes the door in my face.<br /> Argh!<br /> You donโt get to take my coffee and not answer my question.<br /> I knock on his door harder this time.<br /> โLeave me the freak alone!โ He says, glaring at me.<br /> I shake my head stubbornly. โNot until you tell me your name. Itโs rude otherwise.โ<br /> โYou wonโt leave me the freak alone, is that it?โ He let out a growl. โOwen Blake. Now Piss off!โ Once again he closes the door in my face.<br /> I smirk as I walk back to my place.<br /> I look at the time. โFreak! Iโm going to be late for my date with Elliot. I have to hurry to get ready.โ<br /> I drink my coffee in a hurry and run inside the bathroom to take a shower.<br /> Elliot and I have been together for over a year now. He wants me to move in with him, but I donโt want to. I love my independence and my apartment to give them up.<br /> I brush my teeth after my shower as a towel covers my body.<br /> As I look inside my closet, I wonder what Iโm going to wear. I think Iโm going to go with my green cocktail dress and some black heels. I decided to put light makeup on myself.<br /> I run, hearing my cell phone inside the kitchen. โHello.โ<br /> โHey, baby,โ Elliot says over the phone. โIโm sorry, but I have to reschedule our date. I have an emergency at work that I canโt get out of.โ<br /> I sigh. Itโs not the first time that this has happened.<br /> โI can always come over tomorrow.โ He suggests.<br /> โSure.โ<br /> โI am sorry, but I truly have to go now. See you tomorrow.โ He hung up before I have the chance to say goodbye to him.<br /> I just got dressed for nothing.<br /> I need some air.<br /> I grab my jacket to go upstairs to the rooftop. I love to go there and think.<br /> As I arrive, I stare up at the sky. A full moon is out tonight.<br /> I hear a noise and when I look to where it was coming from, I jump as I see a shadow not far from me.<br /> โRelax, buttercup. Itโs just me.โ He smirks, seeing my reaction.<br /> I put my hand on my chest while my heart beat fast. โGod, Owen. Warn someone before you give them a heart attack.โ<br /> He takes a drag from his cigar, as he keeps staring at me.<br /> Will he stop doing that?<br /> โYou know, one of these days, this will kill you.โ I point at what he has in between his fingers.<br /> He exhales the smoke from his lungs while his eyes try to pierce my soul.<br /> I feel nervous under his stare, but at the same time, I feel drawn to them.<br /> โWho cares how I would die. Eventually, everyone will meet their fate. Not that I care, but where are you going dressing up like that?โ<br /> I look down on myself. โI was supposed to go out on a date with my boyfriend. He cancelled at the last minute. He has an emergency at work.โ<br /> Owen licks his lips. โMaybe heโs screwing with someone as we speak.โ<br /> I cross my arms in front of me, feeling annoyed by him. โWhy are you so mean to me? I never did something to deserve this. Besides, I trust him. He would never do something like that to me.โ<br /> I take a few steps to leave but stop at the last minute. โAll I did was try to be nice to you, and thatโs what I get.โ<br /> He frowns his eyebrows. โI never asked you freak. Itโs not my problem if you canโt handle the truth.โ<br /> โUgh, Iโm leaving,โ I say as I step further away from him.<br /> โGood riddance.โ He says loud enough for me to hear him.<br /> Owenโs words start to hunt me more than they should. I trust Elliot. Heโs a good man. Iโm sure all he wanted was a reaction from me, and he succeeded.<br /> Thatโs all and nothing else.<br /> I trust Elliot. I say one more time.<br /> <br /> I look around my apartment, and Iโm satisfied with the cleaning. Iโm not a clean freak. I just love my apartment to be spotless. While I cleaned my apartment, it distracted me from what happened yesterday.<br /> <br /> Owenโs words still bother me.<br /> <br /> โ<br /> Maybe heโs screwing with someone as we speak.โ<br /> <br /> Ugh! Why did he have to say this?<br /> <br /> I know it isnโt true. I trust Elliot. When we spend time together, he never gives me the impression that heโs cheating. Heโs always a sweetheart.<br /> <br /> Iโm so lost in my thoughts that when the doorโs bell ring, I jump a little.<br /> <br /> โIt must be Elliot,โ I say to myself as I go to answer the door.<br /> <br /> โHey, baby.โ Elliot smiles at me, holding a huge bouquet of red roses in his hands.<br /> <br /> Like I said, a sweetheart.<br /> <br /> I love roses. I think they are pretty, but they arenโt my favourite kind. The flower that I love the most is called sakura in Japanese. Which means cherry blossom.<br /> <br /> โAre those for me?โ I ask him.<br /> <br /> He smirks. โWhy of course. Only the best for my girlfriend.โ<br /> <br /> โWhat did I do to deserve such a gift?โ I play along.<br /> <br /> โDo I need a reason to spoil you?โ He wonders in a playful tone. โI saw them, and I thought of you.โ<br /> <br /> Out of nowhere, someone chuckles behind Elliot. As my boyfriend moves to the side, I see Owen ready to go inside his apartment while he has an arm around a womanโs waist.<br /> <br /> Off course.<br /> <br /> โ<br /> Are you here, because you want to freak?โ<br /> I remember Owen saying those words to me.<br /> <br /> Stop thinking about this, or youโre going to blush in front of him, and FYI you arenโt interested in him. You have a boyfriend so you can forget it. I scold myself.<br /> <br /> โSo this is the boyfriend.โ Owen looks at the flower in Elliotโs hands. Thatโs what I thought.โ He laughs, guiding his guest inside his apartment.<br /> <br /> What did he mean by thatโs what I thought?<br /> <br /> Is he referring to his words from last night?<br /> <br /> Why do I even bother racking my brain over this?<br /> <br /> Owen isnโt worth my time if he's acting like a jerk.<br /> <br /> Elliot clears his throat once we are inside my place. โSo, who was that?โ<br /> <br /> I take the bouquet from his hands. โOwen Blake, my new neighbour.โ<br /> <br /> He nods his head, but he doesnโt seem happy. โWhat did he mean by that what I thought? Did you speak to him?โ<br /> <br /> I open a kitchen cabinet to grab the vase. โHeโs my new neighbour. I couldnโt ignore him.โ<br /> <br /> Even if heโs an hip.<br /> <br /> โSo.โ He rubs his chin with his fingers. โWhat did he mean when he said thatโs what I thought?โ He repeats the question.<br /> <br /> I bite my lips nervously. I donโt know how he will react if I tell him, but I canโt lie to him. That wonโt be fair. Besides, I donโt have anything to hide.<br /> <br /> I pour some water inside the vase. โI told him that you were working late last night, and he said that it was because you were cheating on me. โ<br /> <br /> He frowns. โDid you believe him?โ<br /> <br /> I shake my head. โOf course not. I know you will never do such a thing to me.โ<br /> <br /> He let out a sight. โI donโt like this.โ<br /> <br /> I turn my head to look at him. โYou donโt like what?โ<br /> <br /> He folds his arms in front of him. โHim. He seems dangerous. You should stay clear of him. Better yet, come live with me permanently.โ<br /> <br /> Not this again!<br /> <br /> We already talked about this. He knows exactly where I stand on that matter. How should I put this in words so I wonโt upset his feelings? He barely stepped inside my apartment, and we are already talking about this.<br /> <br /> Yes, we argue sometimes. We are a couple. Everyone argues sometimes.<br /> <br /> I cut the edges of the roses before I put them in the vase. โ We talked about this. Iโm not going to move in with you, just because you dislike my neighbour. Iโm a big girl, I can take care of myself.โ<br /> <br /> Freak!<br /> <br /> Was I too harsh?<br /> <br /> Elliot inhales sharply, nodding his head.<br /> <br /> I know heโs not happy with my answer, but itโs the truth. Iโm not saying. Iโm saying not right now.<br /> <br /> Maybe itโs time to change the subject?<br /> <br /> Before I have the chance to do any of that, I feel Elliotโs arms circling my waist from behind. โIโm sorry, okay? I donโt come here to argue with you.<br /> <br /> Itโs like he read my mind.<br /> <br /> I turn around to bring my arms around his neck. โSo, how was work yesterday?โ<br /> <br /> Elliot makes a face, looking at me. โI donโt want to talk about work when Iโm with you.โ<br /> <br /> Itโs not the answer that I was looking for. I canโt blame him as I didnโt give him the answer that he wanted. So I will put this matter to the side and concentrate on my boyfriend.<br /> <br /> I smile at him. โAnd do tell me, what do you have in mind?โ<br /> <br /> Elliot smirks before he pecks my lips. โTrust me, baby, I have an idea, but first I want us to go out, and then later at my place, I will show you what I have in mind.โ<br /> <br /> Yesterday, I took the time to make myself pretty for our date that didnโt even happen. If he wants to take me out, he will have to take me with what Iโm wearing.<br /> <br /> I move away from him to go grab my purse and my jacket.<br /> <br /> โAre you going to change first?โ He wonders, looking at my body.<br /> <br /> I put my hand on my waist. โAre you saying that what Iโm wearing isnโt good enough for you?<br /> <br /> โNo.โ Heโs quick to say. โIt's just that I love seeing you in a cute little dress.โ<br /> <br /> I cross my arms in front of me. โIf you havenโt ditched me yesterday, you would have seen me into one.โ<br /> <br /> โIt wasnโt my fault. I had an emergency, and you know it.โ His words raise a little as he speaks.<br /> <br /> Thatโs exactly what I wanted to avoid us arguing.<br /> <br /> I go to him and peck him on the cheek. โIโm sorry, okay. I donโt know why I said that. I know it was out of hand on my part. Can we go now?โ<br /> <br /> He leaves a peck on my forehead. โIโm sorry too.โ<br /> <br /> Elliot takes my hand in his to guide us out of my place. I guess he doesnโt want to argue either.<br /> <br /> As we walk, a noise that comes from Owenโs apartment makes me freeze on the spot.<br /> <br /> โYes! Yes! Blake, yes!โ<br /> <br /> I bite my lips. I never screamed this way when Iโm intimate with Elliot. Am I missing something? Iโm not saying that our drill life is boring, Iโve never been so loud.<br /> <br /> Is it me, or does Elliot make us walk faster than necessary?<br /> <br /> I look around after the hostess of the restaurant shows us our table. As I look around, I notice that everyone is wearing nice clothes. We are definitely in a luxury fashion restaurant.<br /> <br /> I should have probably listened to Elliot and worn something nicer.<br /> <br /> Did he do it on purpose?<br /> <br /> No, Iโm sure he didnโt. I donโt even know why it crossed my mind.<br /> <br /> As I sit on the chair, I notice that the woman whoโs sitting to my right is judging me for the way sheโs looking at me. Maybe it has something to do with what Iโm wearing. I feel undressed. Is it as if everyoneโs judging me? I clear my throat, looking at the menu instead.<br /> <br /> Elliot didnโt notice anything. Heโs on the phone with someone from his work. I donโt mind. Iโm used to it by now.<br /> <br /> โNo. No, this isnโt a good idea.โ Elliot frowns as he speaks. He doesnโt seem happy. โWe will deal with this tomorrow.โ He hung up right after.<br /> <br /> I look at him with concern. โIs everything ok?โ<br /> <br /> โMmhmm.โ He mumbles.<br /> <br /> I wonโt push on the matter. If he wants to talk about it, he will.<br /> <br /> A young woman around my age stands beside us. โHello, my name is Lucy. I will be your waitress for tonight. Are you ready to order?โ She asks with a smile on her lips.<br /> <br /> I look through the menu, and even though everything seems delicious. I decided to go with something light. โA Caesar salad for me.โ<br /> <br /> She nods her head, writing it on her pad. โAnything to drink?โ<br /> <br /> I shake my head. โNo. Just water, please.โ<br /> <br /> Lucy turns her intention to my boyfriend. โAnd you, sir?โ<br /> <br /> โIโm going to go with the lamb shanks and a bottle of your finest beverage.โ He closes the menu and gives it to her.<br /> <br /> I let out a sigh. Itโs not that Iโm bothered that he has money, but he doesnโt have to show it every time we go out. He would have brought me to a food truck for our date, and I would still enjoy myself. I donโt need much. Just spending time with him would be enough for me.<br /> <br /> Elliot takes my hand once Lucy leaves with our order. โSo, what did you do today?โ<br /> <br /> I give him a smirk. โI donโt want to talk about work. Wasnโt what you wanted?โ<br /> <br /> He let out a chuckle. โI guess I deserve that.โ<br /> <br /> I look to my right, and the woman from earlier once again is staring at me. The guy thatโs with her is trying to get her intentions, but he falls miserably.<br /> <br /> Poor guy.<br /> <br /> As Elliot looks at the same woman, I notice his expression change for only a second.<br /> <br /> Iโm about to ask him whatโs up with that when Iโm distracted by Lucy as she brings our meals.<br /> <br /> I get up from my seat. โIf youโll excuse me, Iโm going to powder my nose.โ<br /> <br /> Elliot takes my hand to leave a peck on my skin. โOk.โ<br /> <br /> Iโm not going to powder my nose. It was better to say this than say Iโm going to the toilet to do the number one. I have manners.<br /> <br /> Once Iโm finished, I look at my reflection in the mirror. The thing I love the most about me is my hair. At first, you think they are black, but when the light hits them, the brown shines through them.<br /> <br /> As I walk back to my table, I stop on my track. I see the woman from earlier sitting in my seat while she talks with Elliot. He doesnโt seem happy with her presence.<br /> <br /> Whatโs wrong with this picture? I wonder.<br /> <br /> When Elliot sees me approaching them, I see the panic in his eyes.<br /> <br /> Owenโs words from last night replay in my head.<br /> โ<br /> Maybe heโs screwing with someone as we speak.โ<br /> <br /> Am I gullible to think that Elliot isnโt cheating on me? I have to get to the bottom of this before I make any accusations. I could be wrong here. It can be nothing.<br /> <br /> โElliot, whatโs going on?โ I look at him, then at her, and back at him.<br /> <br /> He quickly stands up from his seat. โShe was just leaving. Werenโt you, Clara?<br /> <br /> She bats her eyelashes rapidly. โHoney, I think itโs time for her to learn the truth. Donโt you agree?โ<br /> <br /> I cross my arms in front of me. โAnd who exactly are you?โ<br /> <br /> I suspect whatโs going on.<br /> <br /> Clara laughs, looking at me. โIโm the woman who slept with him yesterday and the days before.โ<br /> <br /> I canโt believe this. He told me that he wasnโt cheating.<br /> <br /> I look around, and everyone is staring at us.<br /> <br /> I canโt believe what is happening.<br /> <br /> โTaylor.โ I hear Elliot says my name.<br /> <br /> I ignore him completely. I go grab my coat and purse to get out of here. On the way out I call a uber company to come and pick me up.<br /> <br /> Once Iโm outside, waiting. Someone grabs my hand, and I know who that is. Iโm quick to remove my hand from his hold.<br /> <br /> โTaylor, please let me explain.โ He has the nerve to plead with me, after what he did.<br /> <br /> No. I wonโt stay here and listen as he tries to find an excuse for what he did. I ignore him completely as I look ahead me.<br /> <br /> โTaylor, please. I want to talk to you.โ He tries again.<br /> <br /> โThereโs nothing to talk aboutโ I snap at him.<br /> <br /> โElliot, there you are.โ Clara joins us outside. โNow that she knows, we can finally be together.โ<br /> <br /> Donโt cry. I say to myself. Not here, and certainly not in front of her.<br /> <br /> He turns to look at her to ask her to leave. An argument between them starts, and thankfully, I see the uber appear on the road.<br /> <br /> Neither of them notices that I get in the uber.<br /> <br /> All I want is to go home. A tear falls down my cheek as I try to keep it at bay. The driver doesnโt seem to be effective in my situation. Iโm sure in his line of work he saw this a lot of times.<br /> <br /> I stand in front of my door with the keys in my hand. I donโt want to go in. Something tells me that Elliot is on his way to talk to me. I donโt want to see him.<br /> <br /> A stupid idea coss my mind.<br /> <br /> Iโm sure that Iโm going to regret this, but for now, itโs my best option. Elliot will never think to search for me there.<br /> <br /> I walk until Iโm in front of Owenโs door and knock on it.<br /> <br /> Freak! Maybe the girl that he was with is still with him.<br /> <br /> Iโm about to turn around as I change my mind when his door opens.<br /> <br /> He frowns at me. โItโs you again.โ<br /> <br /> โIโm sorry to bother you.โ I feel shy under his stare.<br /> <br /> I donโt know why Iโm standing here. I donโt even know the guy. I swallow my pride. โCan I come in, please? I argued with Eliott, and Iโm not ready to face him yet.โ<br /> <br /> To my surprise, he opens his door wider, just enough for me to enter his place. | Red111 | 15 | https://facebook.com/61554959872521 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

And he said he would never hurt me.<br /> He was my everything, in these few short moments, he has given me a safe haven, a home in his arms.<br /> When I came to his pack with him, I noticed that everyone around me was staring at us.<br /> โSeriously, why are they staring at us? Itโs kind of creepy,โ I asked him.<br /> โLuna, itโs so good to meet you!โ a girl said to me.<br /> โWhy are you calling me Luna, and what is wrong with all these people? Have you never seen an overgrown giant carry a broken girl before?โ<br /> โWe are calling you Luna because Drake is our alpha.โ<br /> My jaw drops as I look back at Drake. <br /> โThey are all staring at him because they are scared of him. He is Alpha Drake Moon of the Blood Moon pack.โ<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Lilly's POV<br /> I limp out of the room. It takes all of our concentration to stay on our feet, but after a minute bile rises up my throat. My insides churn as I trip and fall, the ground moving below me, but as I land, I land in someoneโs arms.<br /> I look up, my eyes watering as I take a large inhale of his scent, the anxiety and turmoil inside my body relaxing as I look into his perfect, perfect face. Tingles of pleasure ripple under my skin as his hands hold my body, replacing the pain with peace. As our eyes meet itโs like a current flows through me, straight into him. Layla gasps as we watch each other.<br /> โMate.โ<br /> โMate,โ we both cry at the same time, tears flooding my vision as he pulls me against him.<br /> โWhaโoh myโwho did this?โ he roars, my body flinching. โSorry, no, donโt be scared of me. But who would do this?โ he says to me, stuttering.<br /> I wasnโt sure if he was talking to me or not, or maybe he was just in shock, rambling because he was nervous.<br /> But before I could find out, My body shuts off as I pass out in the mate of my dreamsโ arms, Layla finally relaxing as the world around us goes into darkness.<br /> --<br /> I wake up with a sense of loss. I panic, not knowing where I am. Machines are beeping, I am cold, I have no idea what is going on.<br /> My heart pounds in my chest as I try to move, my body screams in pain. Iโm blinded by a light as I try and remember what is going on.<br /> The faster my heart rate beats the louder the beeping gets. I squint, lifting my head.<br /> Just then the man of my dreams runs through the door. Realising I am dreaming I take a breath, relaxing as my breathing starts to level out.<br /> โAre you ok!!!โ He grabs my face. But to my shock sparks light up all over my body. Layla pushes forward as his touch wakes us up.<br /> โThat doesnโt normally happen,โ I whisper to him.<br /> He frowns. โWhat doesnโt?โ<br /> His voice is louder than usual. It was like velvet, smooth but strong, demanding but patient. The sound brought life to my ears, filling me with hope.<br /> โIn my dreams you didnโt feel sparky.โ<br /> Layla pushes forward, purring as she moves our head into his hands. He looks at me, puzzled. โYou dreamed of me?โ<br /> โAm I not dreaming now?โ I ask.<br /> His eyebrow shoots up into the air as he lets out a chuckle, shaking his head. โNope, Iโm all real, babe.โ<br /> My mind is racing, trying to think of what he is talking about. What day was it? What happened? When did he get here? I had so many questions that I needed answers too, but every time I tried to ask, the sheer beauty of his face stunned me to silence.<br /> โYouโre not dreaming, Lilly. This is real, he is real,โ<br /> Layla tells me softly. Tears pool in my eyes as I take in every inch of his perfect face.<br /> He is all man, ruggedly handsome. His messy hair was long, out of place where his fingers had slipped through his dark brown locks. It is scissor cut at the sides, giving definition to his sharp and chiselled jaw. The muscles in his cheeks ripple as he talks.<br /> He must be 25/30 years old, clean shaven and so so beautiful. His dark long lashes frame his beautiful brown eyes. They hold wisdom, sparkling against the bright light, but the dark circles under his eyes had me worrying.<br /> Was he ok? Why did he look so tired? So stressed?<br /> He is tall, really tall, maybe 6ft 2/6ft 4. His large wide shoulders are perfectly proportioned to his huge muscular body. The black T-shirt he was wearing stretched over his body, fitting him far to snug for my liking.<br /> A sense of jealousy overwhelms me as I see what every other female sees, simply put he was walking, talking perfection and the thought of anyone but me ogling him left a bad taste in my mouth.<br /> My dreams have done him justice, but not even my subconscious could muster up the true beauty that stands before me.<br /> I reach out to touch him, my hand connecting to his face, sparks lighting up my fingertips as I watch him, amazed that anyone could be this beautiful, shocked that he was made for little old me and fearful that I would never be worthy of such a hunk.<br /> But as he closes his eyes at my touch, moaning, I canโt help the smile that spreads across my face.<br /> I was stunned that I too could make him feel that same sense of peace and acceptance that he made me feel every time we touched.<br /> dropping his head slightly, his breath fans my face.<br /> My body goes to blubber as his sweet vanilla scent makes my mouth water, setting every nerve end in my body on fire. Filling me with need and a desire so strong it almost chokes me.<br /> Layla pushes forward before I have the chance to stop her, her own strength overpowering my body easily, she grabs his face and slams our lips against his.<br /> My eyes slam closed and my mind comes to life, every colour of the rainbow explodes behind my eyelids as our lips touch for the very first time.<br /> We both freeze in shock, I was nervous he would reject us, but my body slowly relaxes as he busses me back.<br /> My body immediately responds, my lips fit against his perfectly, made for each other, like it was always meant to be.<br /> He moans as his tongue softly prods at my lips. My mouth opens just as he sweeps his tongue against my own. My body jolts to life when the sparks start in my mouth and spread throughout my body.<br /> Our buss is amazing, all consuming as every painful sore muscle loosens, my body wrapping around his as I pull him towards me. All sense goes out the window at his touch.<br /> โAchhhhhhhhhmmm.โ<br /> He starts to pull away but Layla isnโt having it, instead dragging him closer.<br /> โAcccchhhhhhemmmmmmm.โ<br /> He pulls back only slightly, chuckling when I realise we are no longer alone but Layla continues to cling to him, not wanting to let him go.<br /> โBabe, the doctorโs here to see you. Maybe we can pick this up when we are alone.โ My face flushes red.<br /> โOh, sorry. I might have gotten a little carried away,โ<br /> Layla tells me, giggling. I roll my eyes at her. โA little? Jeez, I donโt even know his name,โ I snap back as she cackles away in my head.<br /> โIโm so sorry, Iโm so embarrassed,โ I whisper, my cheeks heating. He snorts, shaking his head. โDonโt be, I didnโt want to stop either.โ<br /> A girly giggle escapes my lips at the fact someone that bloody beautiful wanted to buss me. Just then the doctor walks over, smiling. โDonโt worry about it. I canโt say I blame you to be honest,โ he tells my mate, winking. My mate growls, glaring at him. โMine,โ he snaps.<br /> The doctor snorts, shaking his head as I blush again, bright red. Gosh, I canโt remember ever blushing this much before ever.<br /> โWhatโs your first name?โ the doctor asks.<br /> โItโs Lilly, Lilly Morgan,โ I say with a small smile. โAnd what pack are you from, Lilly?โ<br /> Oh, the pack! My dadโs going to kill me. I am meant to be helping them.<br /> โOh, fuckity balls!โ I squeak, jumping up and looking around the room.<br /> โHey, wow, itโs ok! Stay calm, youโre ok here.โ I shake my head, realising my clothes are covered in dry blood.<br /> My mate runs his hand up and down my back gently. โShhh, itโs ok, I promise.โ<br /> I take a breath, his touch calming both me and Layla. It almost makes me feel sedated as my entire body relaxes. โUm, Iโm from Droim Mor pack,โ I say nervously, afraid I will get in trouble.<br /> โAnd what happened to you, Lilly?โ I chew my bottom lip. What do I say? I look between them nervously.<br /> โHe is our mate. We can trust him.โ<br /> โBut what will he do? What if dad turns him against us?โ<br /> She shakes her head. โNo, no more thinking about him. We need to move on, Lilly, and our mate is the way out!โ<br /> โLilly, itโs ok. They wonโt hurt you ever again. But I need to know who hurt you, baby.โ I look into his eyes and every fibre in my body believes what he says, but it is still extremely hard to admit it out loud.<br /> โMyyy f-atherrr,โ I whisper.<br /> He lets out a sharp growl. My body tenses at the noise. I clench my eyes closed, taking a deep breath to calm my racing heart.<br /> Suddenly the noise stops and his hands land on my back, calming me once again. โSorry Lilly, I didnโt mean to scare you.โ<br /> He lifts my chin, his eyes meeting mine. โI wonโt hurt you, I wonโt ever hurt YOU.โ<br /> Every emotion possible passes through me at his words, my heart shattering as all the fear, the anxiety and depression all come crashing down as I sob into my hands. I had been holding it all back for years, only letting a little escape at a time.<br /> But it felt like it was a dam that my mate pulled to pieces in a few short seconds, exposing the truth of the past, the pain that I had been through and the trauma that I would live with forever.<br /> โItโs ok, he wonโt hurt us,โ Layla says softly, trying to comfort me.<br /> โI know, but I canโt believe itโs over,โ I tell her. He pulls me against his chest, running his hand up and down my back. โShhhhh, itโs ok, Iโve got you now, babe.โ<br /> For some silly reason that makes me cry harder. Every pain, break, bruise, every time he raped me, hit me, kicked me. It all hits me, it all destroys me as I cry it all out. I felt like a weak little girl, being held together by a big strong man. Strangely, I didnโt hate it, in fact, I craved that strength, that safe space where I could fall apart and still be held together.<br /> He was it, he was my everything, in these few short moments, he has given me a safe haven, a home in his arms.<br /> โIโm so sorry, Iโm so sorry I scared you, Iโm so sorry I wasnโt there. But I am now, and nobody will ever hurt you again,โ he tells me, rubbing calming circles up and down my back.<br /> I pull back, wiping my face as I shake my head. โItโs not on you, he did this, not you.โ I use his shirt to wipe my tears.<br /> He chuckles, watching me as I pull myself together.<br /> When Iโm done sobbing like a big baby he lifts my chin and he places a gentle buss against my lips.<br /> โOk, Lilly, I need you to lie back so I can check you over,โ<br /> the doctor says, pulling me from my thoughts.I smile, lying back as he comes to my side.<br /> My mate whose name is still a mystery glares at him. He watches as he lifts my top to check my body. My mateโs eyes widen as he gasps, looking to the doctor and back to me.<br /> He starts to poke and prod at me. Nothing hurts all that much. I look like bad but I no longer feel like bad. Layla turns away from me, going to the back of my head and shutting me out.<br /> โI donโt know how, Lilly, but your ribs are already healed.โ<br /> โYeah, they donโt hurt either.โ He frowns, looking to my mate. His face is like stone as the doctor helps me sit up.<br /> Other than feeling a little dizzy I feel ok. He checks me over, shining lights in my eyes, tapping my reflexes and checking the wound on my head.<br /> โOther than a concussion and a lot of bruising, your body has somehow healed. Iโm not sure how, but it has.โ He starts writing stuff down on a chart. โIf you promise to take it easy I donโt see why you canโt take her home today.โ<br /> I look to my mate awkwardly. His face lights up as he smiles down at me. โI think I can see to that.โ<br /> I sigh in relief. The thought of going back near that monster makes me feel physically ill. โOf course it goes without saying that you stay far away from your father.โ<br /> โDonโt worry, if I have my way she wonโt ever see his dirty rotten face again,โ he snaps.<br /> I smirk up at him as he turns, lifting a bag and placing it on the bed beside me. โI had my people run out and grab you some clothes.โ<br /> โPeople? You have people?โ I ask, chewing my lip. He nods. โYes, we have people now,โ he answers.<br /> โDo you need help getting changed, Lillyโโ Before the doctor even has a chance to answer, our mate growls, his wolf pushing forward and grabbing him by the scruff of the neck. โMine!โ The doctor puts his hands in the air.<br /> โI meant the nurses! Youโre really big,โ he wheezes, catching his hand. Satisfied with that answer, our mate drops him. โIf my mate needs help I will help her,โ he snaps impatiently.<br /> โYes, I think we have established that, jeez.โ He pats his shirt down, clearly amused by the entire thing as I take into a fit of giggles, shaking my head.<br /> โSo not to make things awkward but would you mind telling me your name?โ I ask, scratching the back of my head. The doctor bursts out laughing at the fact.<br /> My mate smirks, looking at me. โDrake, Drake Moon.โ<br /> โSeven, double O seven,โ the doctor teases. Drake glares at him as I laugh, shaking my head. โYou realise itโs Bond, James Bond, right?โ I ask, his face flushes red.<br /> Drake snorts, laughing with me.<br /> โYeah, I think itโs time for Mr Bond over here to get out, get out right now,โ he snaps at the poor doctor.<br /> I am so busy laughing I donโt even care that that was totally rude. โJust trying to lighten the mood, dude, but whatever. Good luck, Lilly.โ He winks as he leaves, closing the door behind him.<br /> Drake watches him go. Then he turns back to me. โDid he just call me dude?โ He says it like it tastes funny, screwing his face up as I laugh even harder. He chuckles, pulling clothes out of the bag for me.<br /> โWe didnโt know your size, so Fiona got you one of those long dresses with a cardigan.โ He pulls out a black maxi dress with a yellow cardigan. It is simple but pretty.<br /> I pull off my shirt and hand it to him. His eyes widen as he freezes, his eyes on my chest. I take the dress from his hand and I pull it over my head, smirking at him. โYou ok over there?โ I ask.<br /> He shakes himself a little, his eyes returning to my eyes as his face flares slightly. โYeah, sorry. I just wasnโt prepared,โ he says, clearing his throat.<br /> I chuckle, grabbing the cardigan. I pull it on. He hands me a brush next, so I pull it through my tangled web of hair, giving up and pulling it into a messy bun on my head.<br /> โWhat time is it? Iโm starving.โ<br /> โBreakfast.โ Iโm surprised by that. โHow long have I been sleeping?โ He checks the time on his watch. โI found you at 3pm yesterday. Itโs seven now, so 16 hours.โ<br /> I shake my head. โHe started the beating at around seven yesterday morning. I must have passed out until I walked into you.โ<br /> His jaw ticks, closing his eyes. โIโve never seen anything like it before. I donโt know how you were even conscious and I definitely donโt know how youโre healed right now.โ<br /> I shrug, wondering that too. Layla is still locking me out so she is zero help. He passes me my Converses next so I pull them on and touch my toes to the floor, cringing as the muscles in my legs ache. He catches my hips as I take a step, my head going woozy as I grab hold of his arms.<br /> โWow,โ I snap, losing my balance.<br /> He scoops me up. โYeah, youโre not walking anywhere like that. Iโll just have to carry you,โ he smirks, planting a soft buss against my lips. I smile against his lips, relaxing into his arms as he surrounds me, making my tiny frame feel so safe.<br /> โDo you want to eat in the room or in the dining hall with myโno, sorry, our people?โ I wish I knew what โour peopleโ meant.<br /> Layla comes forward smiling at me. โDo it! I want to meet them,โ she tells me encouragingly. โThe dining hall, please.โ<br /> He smiles, grabbing my phone off the side table and he hands it to me. I check it as we walk. I have so many messages from Emma. Feeling guilty, I open them immediately.<br /> โHey howโs the summit?โ<br /> โHey where are you?โ<br /> โLilly youโre doing that really annoying thing that you do, text me back please!!โ<br /> โOh for heaven's sake you better have a good excuse for not answering meโ<br /> โWho is that?โ Drake asks, pushing his head between me and my phone to look at my messages. I giggle. โItโs my best friend Emma. Sorry, only friend. She just met her mate and moved to the Blood Moon pack and she gets crazy if I donโt text her back.โ<br /> He smirks, pursing his lips. โWhat does she think of it? Blood Moon I mean?โ<br /> I shrug. โShe seems to like it ok, said the people are nice. The alpha is a little scary but the pack is better than the one we came from.โ<br /> He nods his head. โWhy is he scary?โ he asks, screwing up his nose.<br /> โI donโt know. She said when he walks into the room he shuts most conversations down. He only really socialises with his ranked members.โ He shrugs.<br /> โMaybe he only socialises with his ranked members because thatโs all the people in the world he can trust. Blood Moonโs a big pack, a lot of people would be out for his job.โ I nod my head. โI hear that. Up until now Emma is the only person in the world that I can trust.โ<br /> He smiles, not adding anything more as I type a message back.<br /> โHey sorry, I met my mate and I didnโt have my phone. But Iโm ok, I can ring you later when things settle downโ<br /> โIf you trust her, why are you lying to her?โ I shrug.<br /> โI donโt want her to worry about something she canโt change. Sheโs all the way there and Iโm all the way here, plus Iโm ok really.โ<br /> โYouโre ok? Lilly youโre black and blue. You have a concussion. You are the definition of not ok.โ I smirk at him.<br /> Layla purses her lips. โMaybe he has a point,โ she says thoughtfully. โI am, yeah Iโm black and blue, but Iโm not in pain. I found you. To me Iโm ok.โ<br /> He smiles at me. โYouโre really rather remarkable, arenโt you?โ I blush as he drops his head in the crook of my neck, sniffing me. โAnd you smell so good!โ<br /> He nips my neck with his teeth, sending a shiver straight down my spine. I gasp at the feel of his lips against my skin. It feels like I have just found my heart and soul. Now itโs having a party, celebrating the fact that we are finally back together.<br /> โSo these people that are ours, who are they?โ I ask, trying to distract myself from the flooding of my arousal flowing through my body. I definitely donโt want the entire lobby smelling my arousal. โJust our people,โ he says, heading towards the dining room.<br /> โBut why are they our people?โ He purses his lips, thinking. As we walk, everyone in our path steps out of it. It is like they are grapes shrivelling up and turning into raisins.<br /> --<br /> Reaching the dining hall the entire place goes quiet. I look behind us, wondering what they are afraid of. He snorts, chuckling.<br /> โWhat are they so afraid of?โ I snap, making him laugh, shaking his head. A table not far in front of us all stand up, grinning as we approach. But by now you could hear a pin drop. The entire place has completely shut down.<br /> โSeriously, why are they staring at us? Itโs kind of creepy.โ He just continues to chuckle as two men and a lady smile. โLuna, itโs so good to meet you!โ I freeze, looking up at Drake.<br /> โWhy is he laughing, why are you calling me Luna, and what is wrong with all these people? Have you never seen an overgrown giant carry a broken girl before?โ<br /> I snap louder, glaring at the crowd as Drake throws his head back, howling. His friends look between each other, then back at us. โI canโtโyouโtellโher, I canโt,โ he splutters, taking a seat with me on his knee.<br /> The girl starts to giggle, shaking her head. โWe are calling you Luna because Drake is our alpha, me and Ben are his betas, and Mark is his gamma.โ<br /> My jaw drops as I look back at Drake. โThey are all staring at him because they are scared of him. He is Alpha Drake Moon of the Blood Moon pack.โ<br /> My face falls as I gasp. Turning around I slap his shoulder. โYou big prick, you let me go on and on.โ<br /> He howls in laughter again as the crowd around us gasp at me hitting him.<br /> โOh shut up. Heโs my mate, Iโm allowed to hit him.โ I glare at an old pair sitting behind us as Drake takes a deep steadying breath.<br /> โI swear that was amazing,โ Drake says as he finally stops laughing at me. He leans forward, bussing my lips as I glare at him.<br /> โOh come on, donโt be grumpy. It was a little funny.โ I smirk, trying to hide my smile. Lifting my fingers I pinch them together. โOk, maybe a little.โ<br /> He pecks my lips again, pulling back, and he buries his head in the crook of my neck, sniffing in my scent. His body relaxes immediately as I look back at โour peopleโ.<br /> โSo Iโm a luna? Are you sure you want me as a luna?โ<br /> I ask, screwing up my face.<br /> โOh we want you as a luna! You just hit the alpha. I love you already and there is no give backs. We are keeping you,โ the one called Ben says.<br /> Fiona nods her head in agreement. โAgreed, we are keeping you.โ<br /> โI also think youโre awesome,โ Mark adds.<br /> Drake snorts. โYouโve never called me any of those things.โ<br /> โThatโs because youโre a big grump. Luna Lilly is already winning,โ Fiona says. Drake flips her the bird. โThatโs your birthday present going into the furnace when I get home.โ<br /> She snorts, rolling her eyes. โOh please, I have your card in my back pocket. I donโt need no half assed attempt at a gift when I can just buy my own, thank you very much,โ<br /> she snaps, opening her menu and winking at me. I giggle as Drake rolls his eyes.<br /> โSo are we ever going to get to the part where you tell us who did that to you, Luna?โ My body tenses immediately. All thoughts of my father have all but disappeared. But as I shake off the feeling and go to open my mouth I hear a growl rumbling through the dining hall.<br /> One so familiar my entire body runs cold. My heart rate accelerates as all the breath leaves my lungs. I scrunch my eyes closed as my frame starts to tremble in fear, tears pooling in my eyes. Waiting for the hit that usually came after that terrifying sound. | Shep002 | 61 | https://facebook.com/100093452425291 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | 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. | Lov002 | 57 | https://facebook.com/100092720766465 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Kayan<br /> I was betrayed by two people I trusted implicitly, my best friend and my fiancรฉ, or so i thought.<br /> Without saying a word, I bent down and picked up my phone. By this time Dimitri had donned his boxers and his slim fit navy dress pants. Mariana on the other hand was gripping the white sheet, trying to cover her body and was sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> Normally her tears would have stirred some sort of emotion but I felt absolutely nothing looking at her.<br /> Dimitri stepped towards me with his outstretched hand but I stepped back, and when I spoke my own voice surprised me.<br /> Two words, " How long?". I stared at both of them expectantly. Dimitri sighed and rubbed his face, looking at me with regret.<br /> When no response was forthcoming from him, I turned to Mariana and pinned her with a glare. " Shut up Mariana! I asked a question and I need an answer now!" I shouted.<br /> She pulled her knees to her chest as her body shook in fear, she had only seen me angry once so she knew not to taunt me. Dimitri on the other hand, was stunned.<br /> She looked at me and stuttered in fear " S....si...six months", and hung her head low. I absorbed her reply, laughed hysterically, which caught both of them by surprise. They looked at each other shrugging their shoulders and just as I started laughing suddenly, I stopped abruptly.<br /> "Six months you say? I guess this is the part where you'll say it was a mistake, you never meant to hurt me and you're both sorry right?." I spoke calmly, surprising myself.<br /> Dimitri was first to speak " Kay, please I'm so sorry. We were both tipsy after your work anniversary party,and after I dropped her off, everything went to terrible. I'm so sorry baby but..." I laughed again, cutting him off mid sentence.<br /> I held my hand up then turned to Mariana" What about you bimbo, any last words?" Her eyes bulged in fear and I watched her squirm in fear. She knew I could put a bullet between her eyes even with my eyes closed , thanks to my Dad taking me to the pistol range every Saturday for 2 years.<br /> She sprung to her knees, the sheet fell exposing her and I saw all the hickeys along her neck and on her breasts. "Kay please, let's talk about this. I'm so sorry and I regret this. I'm so sorry for hurting you like this, it wasn't planned."<br /> The nerve of this woman, I thought. I should have listened to my gut all those months ago. She kept thwarting our plans, started traveling a lot and would barely take my video calls then. And she kept changing or bashing my wedding plans and like a fool, I brushed it aside.<br /> Dimitri was the same, one business trip after another, late nights and then he was distant. When I asked him about it, he promised to do better than what he did, but there was a subtle change. We no longer have sleep.<br /> Both of them looked at me expectantly, waiting for the weak, docile Kayan to shed tears and assure them everything would be okay.<br /> I dropped my phone into my bag, grabbed my pistol and clicked the safety off. I swiftly fired two rounds which were followed by agonizing screams. I shot Dimitri in his thigh just inches from his shaft while Mariana got hers in her right shoulder. Just enough to cause pain but not be fatal.<br /> I walked out the room but turned to them saying " That's for the betrayal, I never want to see or hear from either of you again. The next time you won't be so lucky."<br /> I descended the stairs shakily, I touched my face checking for tears but there were none. My chest was convulsing but I refused to give in to the pain I was feeling.<br /> As I got to the last step, I looked around, marched over to the fireplace and threw all photos she had of us together into it. I lifted the stoker, broke her 60" Samsung TV and everything went red from thereon. I trashed her apartment then walked out as if nothing happened.<br /> I grabbed my baseball bat from my trunk, smashed all her windows and doors. Just as I about to leave, I saw Dimitri's Silver Range Rover across the street.<br /> How didn't I notice it before?<br /> I walked up to it and repeated my actions. When I was satisfied, I hopped into my van and drove away.<br /> ---- <br /> Dimitri<br /> I couldn't believe Kayan shot us and simply walked away. I had known her for over 6 years but I never encountered this side of her. I knew I deserved that, worst of all, I ruined the one good thing I had done.<br /> I was thinking with my shaft and not my brain, because in assessing the current situation, Mariana was just a good woman. There is attraction, but the feelings I have for Kayan are deeper.<br /> Her sobs reverberated around the bedroom , bringing me back to the current situation.<br /> When Kayan left the room, I heard her trashing Mariana's apartment downstairs and was about to go after her.<br /> Mariana's words stopped me dead in my tracks, "Leave her be, Dimitri, she will kill you! She needs to calm down first before we approach her." I turned to her slowly, trying to ignore the pain and blood gushing from my wound.<br /> "What do you mean Mari? I'm going after her! There is no us. This was a mistake. I need to talk to her!" I ran my hands over my face then slid my belt around my leg making a tourniquet.<br /> She slid off the bed, gripping the sheet with her uninjured shoulder. " Take it from me, we're lucky to be alive! You have never seen her upset or know what she's capable of in this state but I do!" She tiptoed to the door listening for any further sound from downstairs, but was greeted with silence.<br /> Mariana sat on the stairs shaking and crying while gripping her disheveled hair.<br /> The front door was ajar, I moved to lock it but the sight of Mariana's car took my breath away. I looked across the street to mine and it looked even worst.<br /> I shook my head, sighed and turned too quickly, causing a searing pain in the bullet wound.<br /> I called my driver Michael and told him to be quick and discreet.<br /> Mariana got dressed in the meantime while we waited with bated breaths.<br /> Michael arrived in about 10 minutes, his eyes expressed shock but he knew better than to ask any questions.<br /> He drove us to Wyckoff Medical, the only place I knew would be discreet about what happened.<br /> Using the back entrance, we were quickly ushered into separate rooms for assessment.<br /> As I laid on the bed, I felt Dr. Green prodding my wound for the bullet. He's been our family physician since I was a child, so when he asked who I pissed off this time , I sighed and ignored him.<br /> All I could think about was Kayan, she was my everything!<br /> Not anymore you prick, you screwed up and you're lucky to be alive, I shook my head, trying to shake guilt ridden thoughts from my subconscious.<br /> I reminisced on all the times we spent together, the plans we made for our future and our kids. I reflected on how she supported me even when my own father doubted me. She never gave up on me. You shut up Dimitri!<br /> Dr. Green waved his hand above my eyes while calling my name. " Did you hear anything I said just now?" he asked quietly.<br /> I sighed " No, what is it?". My tone was clipped but right now I didn't care, I could apologize later.<br /> He rolled his eyes before continuing "I said there's a detective waiting outside to talk to you, you know it's my duty to report this." He grabbed a scissors and cut the thread, signaling that he had finished stitching my wound.<br /> "You'll live, but stay off your feet for a few days, and use a crutch if you have to move around." Dr. Green bandaged my leg and was about to leave when I stopped him.<br /> "Wait, I apologize for my behavior Doc. Where's the young lady who came in with me? I need to see her now." He looked at me sadly, shook his head and left the room without a word.<br /> My guess is he figured out why Kayan hadn't rushed into the hospital demanding answers. The realization hit me of how I not only disappointed Kayan but everyone close to me, especially my parents. <br /> I must have dosed off from the pain medication I had gotten as I was woken up by Mariana gently shaking my shoulder and calling my name.<br /> Blinking my eyes to adjust to the bright lights, I grabbed the remote and adjusted my bed. Mariana looked terrible, her hair was unkempt and her eyes were swollen. Her right arm was bandaged and now in a sling.<br /> She sat in the chair beside the bed and hung her head low. " I spoke to the police, I told them we were mugged at the apartment as we were trying to finalize wedding arrangements." It was barely a whisper, but I sighed in relief.<br /> "We messed up but I agree, I'll tell them the same thing. Kayan doesn't deserve this." My throat felt hoarse so I reached for a tumbler with water, poured a cup and took several sips.<br /> " I told you we needed to stop Dimitri but you insisted on coming over!" I pinned her with a glare which caused her to shut up immediately.<br /> The nerve of this woman! I laughed coldly before turning to her " Oh so now it's my fault Mar? Surely you weren't complaining when I rammed your wet dripping private part with my shaft right? You never said stop! Anything else I'm forgetting?" My chest was heaving by the time I finished ranting.<br /> I was about to continue but her sobs erupted. She looked at me lost, guilt etched across her face before she stood to leave.<br /> "Look Mar, I'm sorry okay. I just don't know what to do." I held her wrist, my thumb caressing the inside of her hand in a comforting way. "How did she get in though?"<br /> Mariana was trembling as tears streamed down her face. She took a deep breath before she spoke. "I forgot she had a key from over a year ago. She would always check the place when I traveled for a convention or went to see my family."<br /> My mouth opened to speak but no words were forthcoming and they never came as the door banged open, slamming into the wall denting it.<br /> Jumping with fright, we turned to see my very pissed off father and my distraught mother. Before I could utter a word, he spoke," You, get out now and don't let me see your face again!" Mariana jumped in fear and ran from the room sobbing before I could stop her.<br /> "Dad i can explain...." He slammed his hand onto the small table, knocking the tumbler over.<br /> My mom grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down but he flicked her hand away and grabbed my hospital gown roughly, "Explain what exactly Dimitri? How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> "I'm going to fix this Dad, just give me a chance please." I turned towards my mom seeking support but she turned her head away from me. " Mom, please I'm sorry, I'll fix this. I'm gonna make everything right."<br /> My Dad simply scoffed at my words, took my Mom's hands and walked out the door.<br /> The only sound that filled the room was that of the water droplets bouncing on the floor.<br /> ---- <br /> Mariana<br /> I have never been more regretful in my entire life. My head was throbbing non stop, my eyes were puffy from all the tears I'd shed in the past 24 hours. My mind replayed the events and all I could think of, was that I should be dead by Kayan's hands.<br /> My driver dropped me off to the apartment, and as I stepped inside I once again surveyed the damage. Nothing was left untouched, I had to start over but I guess that's the price to pay for stabbing your best friend in the back for six months.<br /> I wanted to stop so many times, I knew it was wrong but Dimitri was like a spirit I couldn't get enough of.<br /> We decided to take the secret to our graves and everything was going great until I saw him a week later at Danny's Cafe. We sat and talked for a while but after an hour when we attempted to leave, the sexual tension was just too much to ignore.<br /> From thereon, we used our lunch breaks and any free time we could muster to screw each other senseless. After each encounter, we'd say it was the last time , but that never happened as soon after I took trips when he did or he came to my apartment before going home.<br /> All this time, I gave Kayan a million excuses as to why we couldn't meet up, continued planning her wedding virtually and offered excuses when she whined about Dimitri being overly consumed by work.<br /> I even ended things with my own boyfriend as our relationship became strained and miserable because of my infidelity.<br /> Now this is the endgame, I lost my best friend who always stood by me and I'm pretty sure Dimitri and I have no future.<br /> Sitting on the stairs, I decided to take a leap of faith and call Kayan. If I could just get her to listen to me for a second, I would tell her how sorry I am and try to fix things.<br /> As I dialed her number, it went directly to voice-mail, and after trying a few more times unsuccessfully, I decided to go see her. I ordered an Uber, waiting outside for a few minutes before the car pulled up.<br /> I got in, gave the driver her address and stared blankly out the window. The only sounds were that of the music playing in the dashboard.<br /> Ten minutes later, I was standing on the curb outside Kayan's townhouse. Hesitantly, I opened the gate, trudged up the steps and rang the bell. I was there waiting for a few minutes, I called her but there was no response.<br /> I walked to the garden by the lamp post where she always hid a spare key. It was gone.<br /> Just as I was about to step from the yard, I was stopped in my tracks by a faint voice. My hopes increased but when I turned around expecting Kayan, no one was there.<br /> What was that then, I thought to myself.<br /> I reopened the Uber app, placed my request and waited by the curb.<br /> "She's not here you know." I was startled by the voice and was relieved to see her neighbor Michael.<br /> "What do you mean? Where is she?" I asked hurriedly.<br /> He eyed me suspiciously before replying,<br /> "Seeing you here looking like poop tells me you had a role in Kay's sudden departure 2 hours ago." His words were true yet hurtful, I castedmy eyes down in shame.<br /> "You don't know, Mike, just tell me where she went, I need to talk to her before it's too late" I begged him.<br /> The prick was nonchalant as he leant against her gate typing away on his phone. After getting a ping, indicating a message, he looked up at me smirking.<br /> "Well if you must know, my girl left for England indefinitely..." he paused, struggling to hold back a snicker, "...Oh and she says you should go yourself or Dimatro, whatever the pretty boy's name is." Michael was now clutching his side laughing hysterically while I sighed in defeat.<br /> She's gone! And now there's no way I will find her because I can't go to her family and I'm pretty sure she's already changed her number!<br /> I didn't warrant Michael a response since the Uber pulled up, I hopped in and left.<br /> My phone began vibrating in my pocket and I grabbed it quickly, just hoping it would be Kayan. I was disappointed as Dimitri's name flashed on the screen.<br /> "What do you want Dimitri? Haven't we done enough, didn't you hear what your father said?" I shouted angrily, catching sight of the driver's raised brows in the rear view mirror.<br /> "Calm down Mari, I wanted to apologize for my Dad. I'm getting discharged now so I'm heading home, I need to sort things out with Kay." Though I had wanted the same thing minutes ago, I couldn't help the pang of jealousy that gripped me.<br /> Before I could stop myself I snarled in response<br /> "Thanks for asking how I'm doing you prick! Oh and don't bother going there because she's gone!"<br /> "What are you talking about Mari! This is not the time to joke with me..." I'd had enough of his nonsense so I cut him mid sentence " Kay's gone Dimitri, I just left the house, she's not home and her neighbor says she left for England." The other end of the line was silent.<br /> I looked at the screen to see if the call had been disconnected but the line was still open.<br /> "Dimitri?" He sighed in response and I heard him grunt in pain, perhaps moving too quickly on his injured leg.<br /> "I'm here Mari. How will I fix things if I don't know where to find her? Of all the places, she had to chose England!? Couldn't she have just gone to her parents? What am I going to do now?"<br /> I wanted to speak but my throat felt as if it was clogged.<br /> I cut the call, switched to airplane mode and rested my head against the window as fresh salty tears rolled down my cheeks.<br /> I lost everything.<br /> My best friend. Dimitri . And a family who accepted me without judgement and showed me nothing but love all these years. | Lio111 | 16 | https://facebook.com/61554822209907 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Kayan<br /> I was betrayed by two people I trusted implicitly, my best friend and my fiancรฉ, or so i thought.<br /> Without saying a word, I bent down and picked up my phone. By this time Dimitri had donned his boxers and his slim fit navy dress pants. Mariana on the other hand was gripping the white sheet, trying to cover her body and was sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> Normally her tears would have stirred some sort of emotion but I felt absolutely nothing looking at her.<br /> Dimitri stepped towards me with his outstretched hand but I stepped back, and when I spoke my own voice surprised me.<br /> Two words, " How long?". I stared at both of them expectantly. Dimitri sighed and rubbed his face, looking at me with regret.<br /> When no response was forthcoming from him, I turned to Mariana and pinned her with a glare. " Shut up Mariana! I asked a question and I need an answer now!" I shouted.<br /> She pulled her knees to her chest as her body shook in fear, she had only seen me angry once so she knew not to taunt me. Dimitri on the other hand, was stunned.<br /> She looked at me and stuttered in fear " S....si...six months", and hung her head low. I absorbed her reply, laughed hysterically, which caught both of them by surprise. They looked at each other shrugging their shoulders and just as I started laughing suddenly, I stopped abruptly.<br /> "Six months you say? I guess this is the part where you'll say it was a mistake, you never meant to hurt me and you're both sorry right?." I spoke calmly, surprising myself.<br /> Dimitri was first to speak " Kay, please I'm so sorry. We were both tipsy after your work anniversary party,and after I dropped her off, everything went to terrible. I'm so sorry baby but..." I laughed again, cutting him off mid sentence.<br /> I held my hand up then turned to Mariana" What about you bimbo, any last words?" Her eyes bulged in fear and I watched her squirm in fear. She knew I could put a bullet between her eyes even with my eyes closed , thanks to my Dad taking me to the pistol range every Saturday for 2 years.<br /> She sprung to her knees, the sheet fell exposing her and I saw all the hickeys along her neck and on her breasts. "Kay please, let's talk about this. I'm so sorry and I regret this. I'm so sorry for hurting you like this, it wasn't planned."<br /> The nerve of this woman, I thought. I should have listened to my gut all those months ago. She kept thwarting our plans, started traveling a lot and would barely take my video calls then. And she kept changing or bashing my wedding plans and like a fool, I brushed it aside.<br /> Dimitri was the same, one business trip after another, late nights and then he was distant. When I asked him about it, he promised to do better than what he did, but there was a subtle change. We no longer have sleep.<br /> Both of them looked at me expectantly, waiting for the weak, docile Kayan to shed tears and assure them everything would be okay.<br /> I dropped my phone into my bag, grabbed my pistol and clicked the safety off. I swiftly fired two rounds which were followed by agonizing screams. I shot Dimitri in his thigh just inches from his shaft while Mariana got hers in her right shoulder. Just enough to cause pain but not be fatal.<br /> I walked out the room but turned to them saying " That's for the betrayal, I never want to see or hear from either of you again. The next time you won't be so lucky."<br /> I descended the stairs shakily, I touched my face checking for tears but there were none. My chest was convulsing but I refused to give in to the pain I was feeling.<br /> As I got to the last step, I looked around, marched over to the fireplace and threw all photos she had of us together into it. I lifted the stoker, broke her 60" Samsung TV and everything went red from thereon. I trashed her apartment then walked out as if nothing happened.<br /> I grabbed my baseball bat from my trunk, smashed all her windows and doors. Just as I about to leave, I saw Dimitri's Silver Range Rover across the street.<br /> How didn't I notice it before?<br /> I walked up to it and repeated my actions. When I was satisfied, I hopped into my van and drove away.<br /> ---- <br /> Dimitri<br /> I couldn't believe Kayan shot us and simply walked away. I had known her for over 6 years but I never encountered this side of her. I knew I deserved that, worst of all, I ruined the one good thing I had done.<br /> I was thinking with my shaft and not my brain, because in assessing the current situation, Mariana was just a good woman. There is attraction, but the feelings I have for Kayan are deeper.<br /> Her sobs reverberated around the bedroom , bringing me back to the current situation.<br /> When Kayan left the room, I heard her trashing Mariana's apartment downstairs and was about to go after her.<br /> Mariana's words stopped me dead in my tracks, "Leave her be, Dimitri, she will kill you! She needs to calm down first before we approach her." I turned to her slowly, trying to ignore the pain and blood gushing from my wound.<br /> "What do you mean Mari? I'm going after her! There is no us. This was a mistake. I need to talk to her!" I ran my hands over my face then slid my belt around my leg making a tourniquet.<br /> She slid off the bed, gripping the sheet with her uninjured shoulder. " Take it from me, we're lucky to be alive! You have never seen her upset or know what she's capable of in this state but I do!" She tiptoed to the door listening for any further sound from downstairs, but was greeted with silence.<br /> Mariana sat on the stairs shaking and crying while gripping her disheveled hair.<br /> The front door was ajar, I moved to lock it but the sight of Mariana's car took my breath away. I looked across the street to mine and it looked even worst.<br /> I shook my head, sighed and turned too quickly, causing a searing pain in the bullet wound.<br /> I called my driver Michael and told him to be quick and discreet.<br /> Mariana got dressed in the meantime while we waited with bated breaths.<br /> Michael arrived in about 10 minutes, his eyes expressed shock but he knew better than to ask any questions.<br /> He drove us to Wyckoff Medical, the only place I knew would be discreet about what happened.<br /> Using the back entrance, we were quickly ushered into separate rooms for assessment.<br /> As I laid on the bed, I felt Dr. Green prodding my wound for the bullet. He's been our family physician since I was a child, so when he asked who I pissed off this time , I sighed and ignored him.<br /> All I could think about was Kayan, she was my everything!<br /> Not anymore you prick, you screwed up and you're lucky to be alive, I shook my head, trying to shake guilt ridden thoughts from my subconscious.<br /> I reminisced on all the times we spent together, the plans we made for our future and our kids. I reflected on how she supported me even when my own father doubted me. She never gave up on me. You shut up Dimitri!<br /> Dr. Green waved his hand above my eyes while calling my name. " Did you hear anything I said just now?" he asked quietly.<br /> I sighed " No, what is it?". My tone was clipped but right now I didn't care, I could apologize later.<br /> He rolled his eyes before continuing "I said there's a detective waiting outside to talk to you, you know it's my duty to report this." He grabbed a scissors and cut the thread, signaling that he had finished stitching my wound.<br /> "You'll live, but stay off your feet for a few days, and use a crutch if you have to move around." Dr. Green bandaged my leg and was about to leave when I stopped him.<br /> "Wait, I apologize for my behavior Doc. Where's the young lady who came in with me? I need to see her now." He looked at me sadly, shook his head and left the room without a word.<br /> My guess is he figured out why Kayan hadn't rushed into the hospital demanding answers. The realization hit me of how I not only disappointed Kayan but everyone close to me, especially my parents. <br /> I must have dosed off from the pain medication I had gotten as I was woken up by Mariana gently shaking my shoulder and calling my name.<br /> Blinking my eyes to adjust to the bright lights, I grabbed the remote and adjusted my bed. Mariana looked terrible, her hair was unkempt and her eyes were swollen. Her right arm was bandaged and now in a sling.<br /> She sat in the chair beside the bed and hung her head low. " I spoke to the police, I told them we were mugged at the apartment as we were trying to finalize wedding arrangements." It was barely a whisper, but I sighed in relief.<br /> "We messed up but I agree, I'll tell them the same thing. Kayan doesn't deserve this." My throat felt hoarse so I reached for a tumbler with water, poured a cup and took several sips.<br /> " I told you we needed to stop Dimitri but you insisted on coming over!" I pinned her with a glare which caused her to shut up immediately.<br /> The nerve of this woman! I laughed coldly before turning to her " Oh so now it's my fault Mar? Surely you weren't complaining when I rammed your wet dripping private part with my shaft right? You never said stop! Anything else I'm forgetting?" My chest was heaving by the time I finished ranting.<br /> I was about to continue but her sobs erupted. She looked at me lost, guilt etched across her face before she stood to leave.<br /> "Look Mar, I'm sorry okay. I just don't know what to do." I held her wrist, my thumb caressing the inside of her hand in a comforting way. "How did she get in though?"<br /> Mariana was trembling as tears streamed down her face. She took a deep breath before she spoke. "I forgot she had a key from over a year ago. She would always check the place when I traveled for a convention or went to see my family."<br /> My mouth opened to speak but no words were forthcoming and they never came as the door banged open, slamming into the wall denting it.<br /> Jumping with fright, we turned to see my very pissed off father and my distraught mother. Before I could utter a word, he spoke," You, get out now and don't let me see your face again!" Mariana jumped in fear and ran from the room sobbing before I could stop her.<br /> "Dad i can explain...." He slammed his hand onto the small table, knocking the tumbler over.<br /> My mom grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down but he flicked her hand away and grabbed my hospital gown roughly, "Explain what exactly Dimitri? How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> "I'm going to fix this Dad, just give me a chance please." I turned towards my mom seeking support but she turned her head away from me. " Mom, please I'm sorry, I'll fix this. I'm gonna make everything right."<br /> My Dad simply scoffed at my words, took my Mom's hands and walked out the door.<br /> The only sound that filled the room was that of the water droplets bouncing on the floor.<br /> ---- <br /> Mariana<br /> I have never been more regretful in my entire life. My head was throbbing non stop, my eyes were puffy from all the tears I'd shed in the past 24 hours. My mind replayed the events and all I could think of, was that I should be dead by Kayan's hands.<br /> My driver dropped me off to the apartment, and as I stepped inside I once again surveyed the damage. Nothing was left untouched, I had to start over but I guess that's the price to pay for stabbing your best friend in the back for six months.<br /> I wanted to stop so many times, I knew it was wrong but Dimitri was like a spirit I couldn't get enough of.<br /> We decided to take the secret to our graves and everything was going great until I saw him a week later at Danny's Cafe. We sat and talked for a while but after an hour when we attempted to leave, the sexual tension was just too much to ignore.<br /> From thereon, we used our lunch breaks and any free time we could muster to screw each other senseless. After each encounter, we'd say it was the last time , but that never happened as soon after I took trips when he did or he came to my apartment before going home.<br /> All this time, I gave Kayan a million excuses as to why we couldn't meet up, continued planning her wedding virtually and offered excuses when she whined about Dimitri being overly consumed by work.<br /> I even ended things with my own boyfriend as our relationship became strained and miserable because of my infidelity.<br /> Now this is the endgame, I lost my best friend who always stood by me and I'm pretty sure Dimitri and I have no future.<br /> Sitting on the stairs, I decided to take a leap of faith and call Kayan. If I could just get her to listen to me for a second, I would tell her how sorry I am and try to fix things.<br /> As I dialed her number, it went directly to voice-mail, and after trying a few more times unsuccessfully, I decided to go see her. I ordered an Uber, waiting outside for a few minutes before the car pulled up.<br /> I got in, gave the driver her address and stared blankly out the window. The only sounds were that of the music playing in the dashboard.<br /> Ten minutes later, I was standing on the curb outside Kayan's townhouse. Hesitantly, I opened the gate, trudged up the steps and rang the bell. I was there waiting for a few minutes, I called her but there was no response.<br /> I walked to the garden by the lamp post where she always hid a spare key. It was gone.<br /> Just as I was about to step from the yard, I was stopped in my tracks by a faint voice. My hopes increased but when I turned around expecting Kayan, no one was there.<br /> What was that then, I thought to myself.<br /> I reopened the Uber app, placed my request and waited by the curb.<br /> "She's not here you know." I was startled by the voice and was relieved to see her neighbor Michael.<br /> "What do you mean? Where is she?" I asked hurriedly.<br /> He eyed me suspiciously before replying,<br /> "Seeing you here looking like poop tells me you had a role in Kay's sudden departure 2 hours ago." His words were true yet hurtful, I castedmy eyes down in shame.<br /> "You don't know, Mike, just tell me where she went, I need to talk to her before it's too late" I begged him.<br /> The prick was nonchalant as he leant against her gate typing away on his phone. After getting a ping, indicating a message, he looked up at me smirking.<br /> "Well if you must know, my girl left for England indefinitely..." he paused, struggling to hold back a snicker, "...Oh and she says you should go yourself or Dimatro, whatever the pretty boy's name is." Michael was now clutching his side laughing hysterically while I sighed in defeat.<br /> She's gone! And now there's no way I will find her because I can't go to her family and I'm pretty sure she's already changed her number!<br /> I didn't warrant Michael a response since the Uber pulled up, I hopped in and left.<br /> My phone began vibrating in my pocket and I grabbed it quickly, just hoping it would be Kayan. I was disappointed as Dimitri's name flashed on the screen.<br /> "What do you want Dimitri? Haven't we done enough, didn't you hear what your father said?" I shouted angrily, catching sight of the driver's raised brows in the rear view mirror.<br /> "Calm down Mari, I wanted to apologize for my Dad. I'm getting discharged now so I'm heading home, I need to sort things out with Kay." Though I had wanted the same thing minutes ago, I couldn't help the pang of jealousy that gripped me.<br /> Before I could stop myself I snarled in response<br /> "Thanks for asking how I'm doing you prick! Oh and don't bother going there because she's gone!"<br /> "What are you talking about Mari! This is not the time to joke with me..." I'd had enough of his nonsense so I cut him mid sentence " Kay's gone Dimitri, I just left the house, she's not home and her neighbor says she left for England." The other end of the line was silent.<br /> I looked at the screen to see if the call had been disconnected but the line was still open.<br /> "Dimitri?" He sighed in response and I heard him grunt in pain, perhaps moving too quickly on his injured leg.<br /> "I'm here Mari. How will I fix things if I don't know where to find her? Of all the places, she had to chose England!? Couldn't she have just gone to her parents? What am I going to do now?"<br /> I wanted to speak but my throat felt as if it was clogged.<br /> I cut the call, switched to airplane mode and rested my head against the window as fresh salty tears rolled down my cheeks.<br /> I lost everything.<br /> My best friend. Dimitri . And a family who accepted me without judgement and showed me nothing but love all these years. | Wha002 | 29 | https://facebook.com/61554783541379 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

My chin begins to wobble as tears form in my eyes.<br /> I shouldn't be crying, but I know that he won't accept me. I'm ruined ... I'm marked, claimed to be someone elses ...<br /> "Why are you crying?" he inches closer and only stops when he's in front of me. I want to fall into his arms, to beg him not to reject me, to save me, but how can I when I'm claimed ...<br /> "You're going to reject me." my eyes squeeze shut as I suck my lips into my mouth.<br /> "You might be marked, but I can fix that."<br /> "How?" I stare up at him with teary eyes, "We remove it." he shrugs, his eyes filled with lust.<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> JESSICA'S POV<br /> Nick and I have been married for three years, we are high school sweethearts and married when we were twenty when neither of us found our mates. These days, fated mates are rare and hard to come by ... we both agreed I'd be a good Luna to the pack since I trained with him, I learned to be a luna from his mother and we have been inseparable since we were in diapers.<br /> He's my best friend and my true love.<br /> We made a promise to never leave, to never break the bond, to never reject one another when we found our real mates, which is likely to never happen.<br /> We are attending a ball tonight, but my insides are twisted, as if the Moon Goddess herself wants to shield me from whatever is going to happen, I tried to talk Nick into staying at home, but as stubborn like all alpha's are, he refused and said that we would get a bad name if we didn't attend.<br /> Sitting in the car while our driver takes us to a nearby pack, a strong and mighty one.<br /> I know it's our duty to attend, but holding his hand in the back seat, something is terribly wrong.<br /> We arrive and there are a line of cars outside, one by one driving by , guests getting out, wearing gowns and suits.<br /> It's our turn and Nick opens the door, holding his hand out to me and I happily take it as we get out, photos are taken and a red carpet is rolled out as if we were famous.<br /> Nick looks handsome with his dark blonde hair gelled back, his chiseled jaw tense, and the edges of his lips curled up into a small smile.<br /> We arrive inside and we're led to the ballroom, servants with trays walking with snack food and drinks pace all over while the guests stand and chat.<br /> I notice the alpha of The Deep Mountain pack greeting people, making rounds to greet and speak, there's a stage in the middle against the wall, a bar to the side and a dance floor in the middle where couples are dancing elegantly.<br /> I smile at my surroundings and freeze when I look at Nick, staring at a beautiful dark haired girl .<br /> "Nick." I tug at his hand, but it's like he's under a spell, frozen in time as the girl stares back at him.<br /> "Nick." I tug harder, his shoulder shrugging back, "Huh?" he turns to me with a frown, his fingers letting go of my hand and I feel cold.<br /> "I'm going to grab a drink." he smiles at me before walking off towards the bar, closer to the strange woman.<br /> I was an omega and the room is filled with power, I could even feel hers because she is of a higher rank.<br /> I gulp as I watch him walk to the bar, his eyes locked on hers and she elegantly turns in her navy blue dress, walking towards him with dark lustful eyes.<br /> I can't be ... but it is ... it's his mate ..<br /> I stand frozen and a shoulder bumps into me, making my head turn at the woman glaring and snarling, "Watch where you are going!" she scolds and I apologize before walking over to the bar, joining my mate's side while he absentmindedly stares at the woman next to him.<br /> I clear my throat, but there's no response from him.<br /> He doesn't even notice me ..<br /> "Nick." I smile , hope filling my heart as he glances at me, fear flashing through his perfect green orbs as he steps back and then looks at her again.<br /> "Jess, this is Tiffany ... my mate." he smiles awkwardly at me but when he looks at her, it's a genuine smile ...<br /> "Nick." I frown in concern and he takes my hand, giving it a tight squeeze, "Don't worry, I know what to do." he smiles, "Shall we talk outside?" the gloominess in his eyes makes me relax only for a minute until she holds out her hand, smiling gracefully with her full lips and pretty blue eyes.<br /> My heart sinks when her hand hooks into his arm and they head to the balcony. alone ...<br /> I should go with ... but it is a private matter.<br /> 'He's ours...' Zola, my wolf, whimpers.<br /> I stand at the bar, staring carelessly at my mate walking off with his true mate and I inch closer, frowning as every nerve in my body is burning to follow them.<br /> I glance around and there are so many people that they don't even notice until the Luna of the Deep Mountain pack steps closer, "Jessica, is it? From the West Pack?" I nod, trying not to be rude when I look at the balcony and not at her while she speaks to me.<br /> "Oh honey, it's done." she shakes her head and I frown, cocking my head at her in confusion.<br /> "What do you mean?" My eyes stare into her honey ones.<br /> "He found his mate, I'm sorry but it's fated and you are now the other woman." she sighs, glancing at the balcony doors.<br /> I stare at her, my heart racing a million miles an hour and I excuse myself.<br /> I step out of the house, moving around the arriving couples when I feel my heart squeeze, pain taking over and I know what it meant ... Disgust fills me and I start to run, glancing over my shoulder no one notices and I shift, my beautiful pastel pink dress ripping to shreds as I run into the woods.<br /> The pain had stopped, but I did not return home until after midnight, finding Nick sitting on the couch, watching tv.<br /> "Jessica, where have you been?" he stands as I slam the door shut, standing undressed in front of him.<br /> I cross my arms over my chest, glaring at him. "Excuse me?" I shake my head at him, "Where have I been? What have you been doing!" I growl, making his eyes widen in shame and his gaze flicks to the floor when he scratches his nape.<br /> "That's what I thought, you couldn't even resist ten minutes before sleeping her, could you?" I see the pure rage filling me.<br /> "I didn't, I swear..." he promises, but I don't believe him.<br /> Scoffing, I strut past the couch to our room, "Can we talk?" he yells and I turn , "Did you reject her?" I frown and he falls silent, raking a hand through his hair.<br /> "Then no, we can't ." I turn and walk to our room.<br /> He follows me, closing the door behind us, "Jess, I love you. I promise I will reject her, I just ... I couldn't, it's much more difficult than you think." he frowns, explaining himself.<br /> "And will you go and do it?" I grab clothes from the closet, "I will, just ... I need time." he begs and I snort, "Can I come when you do it?" the silence says it all, he doesn't want me there ...<br /> "You're saying you'll do it, but you won't, because you are weak." I tut, shaking my head.<br /> "I will, I just need to distance myself, to keep myself away and then I'll do it when I have the strength to." he explains, his eyes pleading for forgiveness.<br /> I hum, ignoring him as I strut past him toward the bathroom and he reaches for me, grabbing my wrist and I snarl at him, making him let me go instantly, "Don't touch me after sleeping someone else." I grit out, backing up into the bathroom and I slam the door shut, the heavy thud shaking the windows and I lock the door.<br /> I take a hot shower, the water pouring down on me as my back slides down the tiled wall, tears streaming down my face as I weep.<br /> I hear the door handle jiggle and I wipe the fog from the glass door, staring at the handle go up and down as he tries to enter.<br /> I feel a tug at the mind link, but I shut him out.<br /> He disgusts me, he promised, both of us promised one another that we would immediately reject our mates before the bond grew and he is letting it grow, making it ten times more difficult to reject them.<br /> I can't believe I trusted him ... I expose his mark in the crook of my neck, I hold our love dear in my heart and he just let it all go down the drain, letting it sink into the sewers.<br /> I am nothing under his shoe and here I am, still loving him with every breath I take.<br /> After sitting more than an hour under the steaming water, it turns cold and I sit for another half an hour before standing and I shut the water off, taking my time to get dressed and when I stride out in silk booty shorts and a thin strap silk top, I notice how Nick lays in bed, his thumbs circling one another as he stares at the ceiling.<br /> He doesn't even notice me and I am sure he's thinking about her.<br /> The one who stole his heart within a second, the one who is going to steal my life, my bed, my position and my mate.<br /> We are real mates, we accepted one another, we marked each other, we might not be fated, but we are real or we were before her.<br /> ==<br /> My heart starts racing as we head further up the stairs, my pulse is beating in my ears and the musky scent is intensifying. When we reach the top, there's an entire living room in the middle and then two halls, but the scent up here is stronger ... "What's that smell?" I ask Louis without hesitation. He turns to me, his arched brows furrowing together, "The sweaty smell? Must be Nate, my alpha, but please, call him Alpha Nathaniel, he doesn't like strangers calling him Nate, or anyone else. As his best friend, I have perks." he winks at me, his smile so genuine and he seems like a totally different guy in his own pack than what he was at the party.<br /> I wet my lips and it still stings, it's taking forever to heal but I could feel it start from the inside.<br /> "Louis! Have you seen my phone?" Nate's voice comes from the opposite hall. "No, I've been out doing your job!" Louis yells back and the power lingering in the air is suffocating me. I'm stiff and upset about the stupid dress I thought would impress Nick.<br /> "Come.." Louis tugs me down the other hall, away from Alpha Nathaniel and once I enter his room, I'm shook. Everything is so white except for a few decorations. "Wow." I breathe out, his room is bigger than Nick and I's.<br /> He marches over to his closet and grabs a shirt, tossing it at me, "The bathroom is over there." he nods behind me and I turn, smiling before looking over my shoulder at him, "I'll be right back." he struts over to the door and I head inside the bathroom, the white marble walls knock the air right out of my lungs and I stand for two minutes and just look at everything.<br /> The bathtub looks huge, almost like a hot tub, the shower has benches built in and is large with great shower head equipment, the sink is built into a large white counter with beautiful engraved cupboards below it.<br /> I quickly undress and put Louis' white shirt on that fits me like a dress. I drape my dress over my arm and pick up my heels before exiting the bathroom, standing awkwardly looking at the bed ... wondering if he'll come back to peck me ...<br /> I know I shouldn't think of it, but I've been feeling so alone ... It doesn't matter if Nick slept next to me last night, his mind wasn't with me ... he didn't want me in his bed ... he wanted her.<br /> He didn't even come near me when all I wanted was for him to hold me, to tell me I'm still important too ... but he didn't. When he climbed into bed, he turned his back to me and fell asleep, but it seemed forced, like he didn't want to see me at all.<br /> The door opens and Louis stands there, his eyes trailing me standing in his shirt. "You are tiny, aren't you?" he comes inside, holding out his hand and I take it, "Let's get that dress fixed." he grins and leads me down the hall again.<br /> Before taking the first step, a clearing of a throat makes us stop, "Louis, who's this?" Alpha Nathaniel's voice makes a shiver run down my spine and Louis turns first, "Jessica." he smiles and before he could explain anything, I turn, freezing when our eyes lock.<br /> My lips part as I stare into Alpha Nathaniel's beautiful olive orbs, his entire body language changes, his laid back look now tense.<br /> "Mate." he growls lowly and I gasp, fear and excitement mixing inside of me. My stomach flutters and Louis let's go of me, stepping aside, "Nate, I didn't know." he moves away from me and Alpha Nathaniel's eyes lock on my busted lip, his eyes flicking a bright silver as he looks at Louis, "What happened to her lip?" he grits out, anger clear in his tone.<br /> "Her..." , "Wait!" I blurt out, looking at Louis with pleading eyes and Alpha Nathaniel's head snaps to my direction, curiosity visible in his gaze, "Why wait?" Alpha Nathaniel asks, his tone calm when speaking to me.<br /> "I just ... I think I should tell you." I pick at my nails nervously, hoping that he wouldn't reject me.<br /> Louis walks over to me, "Give me the dress, I'll get it cleaned." he smiles and Alpha Nathaniel gives him a weird look as I hand it over.<br /> "Excuse me." Louis mutters before trotting down the stairs, leaving me alone with Alpha Nathaniel.<br /> "So, what happened?" he asks, his muscles tensing. I want to inch closer, every fibre of my being wants to be near him ... but his gaze falls to my neck, looking at the mark embroidered into my flesh.<br /> "My mate his Louis for dancing with me and he accidentally hit me too ... I was in the way." his eyes flash bright, anger written all over his face, "Accidentally?" he frowns, dragging his large veiny hand through his black hair. "Yes, I believe so." I gulp, his aura makes me feel like running away.<br /> "And you have a mate..." his eyes narrow on my mark and I feel the need to just claw it off.<br /> "My mate found his mate and now I'm just ... the luna of our pack." My chin begins to wobble as tears form in my eyes.<br /> I shouldn't be crying, but I know that he won't accept me. I'm ruined ... I'm marked, claimed to be someone elses ...<br /> "Why are you crying?" he inches closer and only stops when he's in front of me. I want to fall into his arms, to beg him not to reject me, to save me, but how can I when I'm claimed ...<br /> "You're going to reject me." my eyes squeeze shut as I suck my lips into my mouth. I flinch as his fingers brush over my cheek, wiping the tears away and sparks erupt in my face, sending a calm sensation down my back.<br /> "You might be marked, but I can fix that." his hand brushes my raven hair back over my shoulder, his thumb dragging over my mark and it slightly stings because he isn't the man who gave it to me ...<br /> "How?" I stare up at him with teary eyes, "We remove it." he shrugs, his eyes filled with lust.<br /> I step back, "How?"<br /> I never heard of a mark being removed ... and if someone did, they sure didn't survive to tell the tale.<br /> "It's a rare ritual, but you seem tough enough." he shrugs, making my blood run cold ... I'm not tough ... I was an omega before being a luna ...<br /> "I was an omega before being a luna." I blurt out, feeling like it's a fact he has to know.<br /> "But you are a luna, it changes your status. Didn't you feel yourself change?" his fingers drag down the side of my arm before he takes my hand and I feel like I might just jump him right here.<br /> "Let's get you out of Louis's shirt ... I know he's kind but you smelling like him pisses me off." his eyes widen, his jaw tense and I follow him without hesitation.<br /> Walking into his room is like walking into a fancy black interior design room, the walls are black, his bedding his black, his cupboards are black ... everything is black with beautiful gold detailing.<br /> "Wow." I breathe out as I absentmindedly march over to the double doors and just open them without asking. I step outside onto the patio, staring at the dark forest that surrounds us. We're far from the ground and I turn, looking at the dark exterior.<br /> Alpha Nathaniel joins me outside with a black t-shirt, not that I expected anything else, "Here, this will suit you much better." he grins, handing me the black shirt. "Where's your bathroom?" he frowns at my question, "Inside." he nods to behind him and I smile up at him, his emerald eyes glistening as he watches me pass him.<br /> I could feel his eyes on me as I disappear into the bathroom and it's even bigger than Louis' ...<br /> I find it extremely weird that the guy who brought me home is my mate's beta ... for Goddess sake ... I thought of pecking him!<br /> I take a few minutes to glance around the bathroom, staring at myself in the full length bathroom mirror across from me.<br /> My lip is almost fully healed at least ...<br /> Nick ... oh Goddess, what do I tell Nick? | Pop001 | 393 | https://facebook.com/100092038763039 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Kayan<br /> I was betrayed by two people I trusted implicitly, my best friend and my fiancรฉ, or so i thought.<br /> Without saying a word, I bent down and picked up my phone. By this time Dimitri had donned his boxers and his slim fit navy dress pants. Mariana on the other hand was gripping the white sheet, trying to cover her body and was sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> Normally her tears would have stirred some sort of emotion but I felt absolutely nothing looking at her.<br /> Dimitri stepped towards me with his outstretched hand but I stepped back, and when I spoke my own voice surprised me.<br /> Two words, " How long?". I stared at both of them expectantly. Dimitri sighed and rubbed his face, looking at me with regret.<br /> When no response was forthcoming from him, I turned to Mariana and pinned her with a glare. " Shut up Mariana! I asked a question and I need an answer now!" I shouted.<br /> She pulled her knees to her chest as her body shook in fear, she had only seen me angry once so she knew not to taunt me. Dimitri on the other hand, was stunned.<br /> She looked at me and stuttered in fear " S....si...six months", and hung her head low. I absorbed her reply, laughed hysterically, which caught both of them by surprise. They looked at each other shrugging their shoulders and just as I started laughing suddenly, I stopped abruptly.<br /> "Six months you say? I guess this is the part where you'll say it was a mistake, you never meant to hurt me and you're both sorry right?." I spoke calmly, surprising myself.<br /> Dimitri was first to speak " Kay, please I'm so sorry. We were both tipsy after your work anniversary party,and after I dropped her off, everything went to terrible. I'm so sorry baby but..." I laughed again, cutting him off mid sentence.<br /> I held my hand up then turned to Mariana" What about you bimbo, any last words?" Her eyes bulged in fear and I watched her squirm in fear. She knew I could put a bullet between her eyes even with my eyes closed , thanks to my Dad taking me to the pistol range every Saturday for 2 years.<br /> She sprung to her knees, the sheet fell exposing her and I saw all the hickeys along her neck and on her breasts. "Kay please, let's talk about this. I'm so sorry and I regret this. I'm so sorry for hurting you like this, it wasn't planned."<br /> The nerve of this woman, I thought. I should have listened to my gut all those months ago. She kept thwarting our plans, started traveling a lot and would barely take my video calls then. And she kept changing or bashing my wedding plans and like a fool, I brushed it aside.<br /> Dimitri was the same, one business trip after another, late nights and then he was distant. When I asked him about it, he promised to do better than what he did, but there was a subtle change. We no longer have sleep.<br /> Both of them looked at me expectantly, waiting for the weak, docile Kayan to shed tears and assure them everything would be okay.<br /> I dropped my phone into my bag, grabbed my pistol and clicked the safety off. I swiftly fired two rounds which were followed by agonizing screams. I shot Dimitri in his thigh just inches from his shaft while Mariana got hers in her right shoulder. Just enough to cause pain but not be fatal.<br /> I walked out the room but turned to them saying " That's for the betrayal, I never want to see or hear from either of you again. The next time you won't be so lucky."<br /> I descended the stairs shakily, I touched my face checking for tears but there were none. My chest was convulsing but I refused to give in to the pain I was feeling.<br /> As I got to the last step, I looked around, marched over to the fireplace and threw all photos she had of us together into it. I lifted the stoker, broke her 60" Samsung TV and everything went red from thereon. I trashed her apartment then walked out as if nothing happened.<br /> I grabbed my baseball bat from my trunk, smashed all her windows and doors. Just as I about to leave, I saw Dimitri's Silver Range Rover across the street.<br /> How didn't I notice it before?<br /> I walked up to it and repeated my actions. When I was satisfied, I hopped into my van and drove away.<br /> ---- <br /> Dimitri<br /> I couldn't believe Kayan shot us and simply walked away. I had known her for over 6 years but I never encountered this side of her. I knew I deserved that, worst of all, I ruined the one good thing I had done.<br /> I was thinking with my shaft and not my brain, because in assessing the current situation, Mariana was just a good woman. There is attraction, but the feelings I have for Kayan are deeper.<br /> Her sobs reverberated around the bedroom , bringing me back to the current situation.<br /> When Kayan left the room, I heard her trashing Mariana's apartment downstairs and was about to go after her.<br /> Mariana's words stopped me dead in my tracks, "Leave her be, Dimitri, she will kill you! She needs to calm down first before we approach her." I turned to her slowly, trying to ignore the pain and blood gushing from my wound.<br /> "What do you mean Mari? I'm going after her! There is no us. This was a mistake. I need to talk to her!" I ran my hands over my face then slid my belt around my leg making a tourniquet.<br /> She slid off the bed, gripping the sheet with her uninjured shoulder. " Take it from me, we're lucky to be alive! You have never seen her upset or know what she's capable of in this state but I do!" She tiptoed to the door listening for any further sound from downstairs, but was greeted with silence.<br /> Mariana sat on the stairs shaking and crying while gripping her disheveled hair.<br /> The front door was ajar, I moved to lock it but the sight of Mariana's car took my breath away. I looked across the street to mine and it looked even worst.<br /> I shook my head, sighed and turned too quickly, causing a searing pain in the bullet wound.<br /> I called my driver Michael and told him to be quick and discreet.<br /> Mariana got dressed in the meantime while we waited with bated breaths.<br /> Michael arrived in about 10 minutes, his eyes expressed shock but he knew better than to ask any questions.<br /> He drove us to Wyckoff Medical, the only place I knew would be discreet about what happened.<br /> Using the back entrance, we were quickly ushered into separate rooms for assessment.<br /> As I laid on the bed, I felt Dr. Green prodding my wound for the bullet. He's been our family physician since I was a child, so when he asked who I pissed off this time , I sighed and ignored him.<br /> All I could think about was Kayan, she was my everything!<br /> Not anymore you prick, you screwed up and you're lucky to be alive, I shook my head, trying to shake guilt ridden thoughts from my subconscious.<br /> I reminisced on all the times we spent together, the plans we made for our future and our kids. I reflected on how she supported me even when my own father doubted me. She never gave up on me. You shut up Dimitri!<br /> Dr. Green waved his hand above my eyes while calling my name. " Did you hear anything I said just now?" he asked quietly.<br /> I sighed " No, what is it?". My tone was clipped but right now I didn't care, I could apologize later.<br /> He rolled his eyes before continuing "I said there's a detective waiting outside to talk to you, you know it's my duty to report this." He grabbed a scissors and cut the thread, signaling that he had finished stitching my wound.<br /> "You'll live, but stay off your feet for a few days, and use a crutch if you have to move around." Dr. Green bandaged my leg and was about to leave when I stopped him.<br /> "Wait, I apologize for my behavior Doc. Where's the young lady who came in with me? I need to see her now." He looked at me sadly, shook his head and left the room without a word.<br /> My guess is he figured out why Kayan hadn't rushed into the hospital demanding answers. The realization hit me of how I not only disappointed Kayan but everyone close to me, especially my parents. <br /> I must have dosed off from the pain medication I had gotten as I was woken up by Mariana gently shaking my shoulder and calling my name.<br /> Blinking my eyes to adjust to the bright lights, I grabbed the remote and adjusted my bed. Mariana looked terrible, her hair was unkempt and her eyes were swollen. Her right arm was bandaged and now in a sling.<br /> She sat in the chair beside the bed and hung her head low. " I spoke to the police, I told them we were mugged at the apartment as we were trying to finalize wedding arrangements." It was barely a whisper, but I sighed in relief.<br /> "We messed up but I agree, I'll tell them the same thing. Kayan doesn't deserve this." My throat felt hoarse so I reached for a tumbler with water, poured a cup and took several sips.<br /> " I told you we needed to stop Dimitri but you insisted on coming over!" I pinned her with a glare which caused her to shut up immediately.<br /> The nerve of this woman! I laughed coldly before turning to her " Oh so now it's my fault Mar? Surely you weren't complaining when I rammed your wet dripping private part with my shaft right? You never said stop! Anything else I'm forgetting?" My chest was heaving by the time I finished ranting.<br /> I was about to continue but her sobs erupted. She looked at me lost, guilt etched across her face before she stood to leave.<br /> "Look Mar, I'm sorry okay. I just don't know what to do." I held her wrist, my thumb caressing the inside of her hand in a comforting way. "How did she get in though?"<br /> Mariana was trembling as tears streamed down her face. She took a deep breath before she spoke. "I forgot she had a key from over a year ago. She would always check the place when I traveled for a convention or went to see my family."<br /> My mouth opened to speak but no words were forthcoming and they never came as the door banged open, slamming into the wall denting it.<br /> Jumping with fright, we turned to see my very pissed off father and my distraught mother. Before I could utter a word, he spoke," You, get out now and don't let me see your face again!" Mariana jumped in fear and ran from the room sobbing before I could stop her.<br /> "Dad i can explain...." He slammed his hand onto the small table, knocking the tumbler over.<br /> My mom grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down but he flicked her hand away and grabbed my hospital gown roughly, "Explain what exactly Dimitri? How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> "I'm going to fix this Dad, just give me a chance please." I turned towards my mom seeking support but she turned her head away from me. " Mom, please I'm sorry, I'll fix this. I'm gonna make everything right."<br /> My Dad simply scoffed at my words, took my Mom's hands and walked out the door.<br /> The only sound that filled the room was that of the water droplets bouncing on the floor.<br /> ---- <br /> Mariana<br /> I have never been more regretful in my entire life. My head was throbbing non stop, my eyes were puffy from all the tears I'd shed in the past 24 hours. My mind replayed the events and all I could think of, was that I should be dead by Kayan's hands.<br /> My driver dropped me off to the apartment, and as I stepped inside I once again surveyed the damage. Nothing was left untouched, I had to start over but I guess that's the price to pay for stabbing your best friend in the back for six months.<br /> I wanted to stop so many times, I knew it was wrong but Dimitri was like a spirit I couldn't get enough of.<br /> We decided to take the secret to our graves and everything was going great until I saw him a week later at Danny's Cafe. We sat and talked for a while but after an hour when we attempted to leave, the sexual tension was just too much to ignore.<br /> From thereon, we used our lunch breaks and any free time we could muster to screw each other senseless. After each encounter, we'd say it was the last time , but that never happened as soon after I took trips when he did or he came to my apartment before going home.<br /> All this time, I gave Kayan a million excuses as to why we couldn't meet up, continued planning her wedding virtually and offered excuses when she whined about Dimitri being overly consumed by work.<br /> I even ended things with my own boyfriend as our relationship became strained and miserable because of my infidelity.<br /> Now this is the endgame, I lost my best friend who always stood by me and I'm pretty sure Dimitri and I have no future.<br /> Sitting on the stairs, I decided to take a leap of faith and call Kayan. If I could just get her to listen to me for a second, I would tell her how sorry I am and try to fix things.<br /> As I dialed her number, it went directly to voice-mail, and after trying a few more times unsuccessfully, I decided to go see her. I ordered an Uber, waiting outside for a few minutes before the car pulled up.<br /> I got in, gave the driver her address and stared blankly out the window. The only sounds were that of the music playing in the dashboard.<br /> Ten minutes later, I was standing on the curb outside Kayan's townhouse. Hesitantly, I opened the gate, trudged up the steps and rang the bell. I was there waiting for a few minutes, I called her but there was no response.<br /> I walked to the garden by the lamp post where she always hid a spare key. It was gone.<br /> Just as I was about to step from the yard, I was stopped in my tracks by a faint voice. My hopes increased but when I turned around expecting Kayan, no one was there.<br /> What was that then, I thought to myself.<br /> I reopened the Uber app, placed my request and waited by the curb.<br /> "She's not here you know." I was startled by the voice and was relieved to see her neighbor Michael.<br /> "What do you mean? Where is she?" I asked hurriedly.<br /> He eyed me suspiciously before replying,<br /> "Seeing you here looking like poop tells me you had a role in Kay's sudden departure 2 hours ago." His words were true yet hurtful, I castedmy eyes down in shame.<br /> "You don't know, Mike, just tell me where she went, I need to talk to her before it's too late" I begged him.<br /> The prick was nonchalant as he leant against her gate typing away on his phone. After getting a ping, indicating a message, he looked up at me smirking.<br /> "Well if you must know, my girl left for England indefinitely..." he paused, struggling to hold back a snicker, "...Oh and she says you should go yourself or Dimatro, whatever the pretty boy's name is." Michael was now clutching his side laughing hysterically while I sighed in defeat.<br /> She's gone! And now there's no way I will find her because I can't go to her family and I'm pretty sure she's already changed her number!<br /> I didn't warrant Michael a response since the Uber pulled up, I hopped in and left.<br /> My phone began vibrating in my pocket and I grabbed it quickly, just hoping it would be Kayan. I was disappointed as Dimitri's name flashed on the screen.<br /> "What do you want Dimitri? Haven't we done enough, didn't you hear what your father said?" I shouted angrily, catching sight of the driver's raised brows in the rear view mirror.<br /> "Calm down Mari, I wanted to apologize for my Dad. I'm getting discharged now so I'm heading home, I need to sort things out with Kay." Though I had wanted the same thing minutes ago, I couldn't help the pang of jealousy that gripped me.<br /> Before I could stop myself I snarled in response<br /> "Thanks for asking how I'm doing you prick! Oh and don't bother going there because she's gone!"<br /> "What are you talking about Mari! This is not the time to joke with me..." I'd had enough of his nonsense so I cut him mid sentence " Kay's gone Dimitri, I just left the house, she's not home and her neighbor says she left for England." The other end of the line was silent.<br /> I looked at the screen to see if the call had been disconnected but the line was still open.<br /> "Dimitri?" He sighed in response and I heard him grunt in pain, perhaps moving too quickly on his injured leg.<br /> "I'm here Mari. How will I fix things if I don't know where to find her? Of all the places, she had to chose England!? Couldn't she have just gone to her parents? What am I going to do now?"<br /> I wanted to speak but my throat felt as if it was clogged.<br /> I cut the call, switched to airplane mode and rested my head against the window as fresh salty tears rolled down my cheeks.<br /> I lost everything.<br /> My best friend. Dimitri .

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. 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?" | Guin112 | 20 | https://facebook.com/61554651037723 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Instantly, my muscles all revolted against that idea. My entire body was sore, but my core made sure to remind me that it'd taken a beating the night before. I wiped my eyes and sat up, unsure of where I was for a moment. Until I looked around. There were toned and undressed hips all around me. I smiled to myself as I captured the image in my mind for rainy days in my future. Mack, Jones, and Xavier were all tangled in the different blankets they'd brought with them to bed the night before. Earlier that morning, really.<br /> The back of the tour bus was a bedroom, fitted with one massive bed that took up the entire room. The normal tour bus accommodations existed between the bathroom and large bedroom, but no one had volunteered to sleep in their usual bed. They'd each found a way to wrap around me in the big bed and didn't miss the chance to take me once more before we passed out for good.<br /> ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ<br /> Layla<br /> "Oh, yeah! Eat me, Matty!" The woman screaming for my boyfriend was the lead singer of a moderately popular band called The Homewreckers. It was an aptly named band, apparently. Of course, she sounded amazing as she screamed. I always felt like a choking chimpanzee when I came out loud.<br /> I stood in the doorway of The Homewreckers' dressing room and took a deep breath. Unfortunately, it was scented with weed. "Hey, Matthew?"<br /> Matthew, who'd always told me he hated being called Matty, yanked his head out of Miriam Dark's private part and spun around to face me. It was almost comical how fast he spun and how wide his eyes were. He was white collar handsome. His hair was always perfectly cut, his eyebrows were never too long or bushy, and he shaved his face twice a day. He had nice blue eyes and a nice smile. Nice body, nice manhood, nice guy. Well, maybe not a nice guy. After all, his face was covered in another woman's private partl fluids.<br /> "Layla! What are you doing here?" He climbed to his feet and I watched in disgust as he shoved his flaccid manhood back into his nice dress pants. Then, as an afterthought, he wiped his face and stumbled closer to me. "This isn't..."<br /> I rolled my eyes. "It isn't what it looks like? God, Matthew, at least be original."<br /> Miriam took her time closing her legs and gently patted Matthew's shoulder. "Are we done here, Matty? Or do you think you'll be finished soon and want to finish here?"<br /> Laughing, I rolled my shoulders and leveled a hard stare at Matty. "We're done. Whatever we had is over, so feel free to finish playtime with whoever and whatever. I'm on vacation for a few days, so don't call me."<br /> He rushed after me and grabbed my arm. "Wait a second, Layla. I'm sorry. I messed up. Just give me a second to explain."<br /> I yanked my arm free and scowled at him. "Don't touch me."<br /> "Come on, Layla. Don't be like this. Talk to me. I feel terrible." He tried to take my hand again. "Please, baby."<br /> I wasn't going to let him see that I was upset. He didn't deserve that. Instead, I stepped away from him and snarled. "Touch me and I'll break every one of your fingers, Matty. Go and finish sleeping with your client. I believe she's still waiting."<br /> "Jesus. You work for me, Layla! How do you think this is going to go?"<br /> I backed away from him. "I think it's going to go just fine. Like I said, I'm on vacation. Don't call me. Don't message me. Don't think about me. As my ex-boyfriend or my boss."<br /> " Maybe not you, the perfect Layla.You have to accept that." He followed me. "I know that. I shouldn't have started anything with Miriam, but when I'm on the road with the band, it's hard. I miss you and she's there."<br /> My heart hardened and I took a deep breath. "How long have you been sleeping with her?"<br /> He swallowed so hard I saw his Adam's apple bobble. "Come on, Layla. None of this will matter. I'll stop. I'll stop and we can get engaged. You want that, right?"<br /> I gagged. "Ew, Matthew. There's not a chance that I'm getting engaged to you! I'd rather stick my papilla in a truck winch and turn it on."<br /> Miriam sauntered out of her dressing room topless and looked me over. "We've been slept for a year. Matty eats private part like a champ."<br /> A real smile stretched my lips. "Now I know you're full of foolish talk. He might get an climax, but a champ? Hardly. Anyway, enjoy him. I hope him not having a girlfriend doesn't ruin your lady boner."<br /> "Miriam, go back inside! Layla, just stop and talk to me!"<br /> Miriam and I both answered Matthew in unison. <br /> I looked at her and shrugged. "Maybe you're not all bad."<br /> Without waiting for either of them to say anything else, I turned around and walked away, ignoring Matthew as he called my name. Eventually he stopped and I walked faster. I needed to get out of there before I cried. I wasn't about to cry backstage at a music festival. Someone would probably jump out and tit punch me as some anti-crying ritual.<br /> As I walked faster, I couldn't fight the way my eyes filled with tears. No matter how lackluster Matthew was, I'd devoted years of my life to him. I'd just wasted my vacation time on him, too. I thought sneaking out to meet him on the road would be fun and lend some much needed excitement to our relationship. Things hadn't been good...ever...but I'd hoped that we could at least get back to a place where I didn't dread seeing him at work every day.<br /> I wiped at my eyes and felt the mascara I'd coated my eyelashes with earlier. Stupid. I swore and stomped my way farther away from Matthew and the ugly end of our relationship. The image of his hip in the air while he happily ate Miriam Dark's hoo-hah like a pig in slop would forever be burned into my memory.<br /> I couldn't wait to get back home to my apartment and destroy everything of Matthew's that he'd left behind. I needed to update my social media. I didn't do much on it anymore, but I couldn't stand the idea of people thinking I was still with the loser. I'd have to call Grandma. That thought made me want to sob. She hated Matthew, but she liked that I wasn't alone in LA. Knowing I was single again was going to worry her. And if she told Jagger, my older brother, about me being single, Jagger would call and demand to know what'd happened. Then, he would try to fly out and kick Matthew's hip. It was just a mess.<br /> Growling out a frustrated sound, I looked down to make sure I stepped over a big mess of cords. I couldn't believe someone had left the stage like that. It was a hazard. Not to mention, it would be so easy to show if someone tripped over the wrong cord.<br /> I should've been paying attention because when the crowd's wild cheering broke through my self-pitying stupor, I looked up to see how close I'd gotten to the main stage. Unfortunately, a man with a guitar was coming off the stage, looking back at another man behind him. I was moving too fast to stop in time and he wasn't looking. It happened so fast that I didn't even make a sound as I smacked right into the man and felt pain before bouncing off his hard body and going down hard. Those tangled cords.<br /> I heard a deep voice growl above me, but I reached up to feel my forehead and felt something wet. I knew my eyes went as wide as softballs and when I pulled my fingers down and saw red, I groaned. Blood was my kryptonite. My vision darkened and I gagged on my way down.<br /> <br /> Mack<br /> "Well." By the time I realized what was happening, the curvy brunette was flat on the ground. I dropped to my knees next to her and swore when I saw the blood on her forehead. "This is a new form of falling for me."<br /> Xavier squatted on her other side and frowned. "Not really a great time for joking. You knocked her out."<br /> Jones sighed and ran his hands through his hair. "Where'd she come from? Also, maybe look where you're going from now on. You ran the poor thing over. Big time."<br /> I brushed her hair out of her face and had a completely ridiculous moment of feeling like I was staring down at Sleeping Beauty. She was gorgeous. I gently patted her soft cheek. "Ma'am? Hello?"<br /> "Great work. She's jumping right to life." Jones looked over his shoulder. "You've got about thirty seconds to get her on her feet and out of the way before the crowd beats back security and runs back here."<br /> I could hear the commotion he was hearing and ground my teeth. We'd just come off an amazing show. I had planned on going to a bar and getting hammered. Taking care of a Disney princess hadn't been in my plans, but it didn't look like I had an option. I couldn't just leave her on the ground and I didn't know any of the stage hands enough to trust them with an unconscious woman.<br /> "Fine." I stood up and lifted her body over my shoulder. Her head and arms hung limply and bounced off my hip, but I figured it was better for her than getting trampled to death. "Let's get her to our bus and get the medics to check her out. She'll be safe there until she can wake up and go."<br /> Xavier nodded once and charged ahead, clearing a path. He was a giant of a man and no one was dumb enough to stay in his way. They didn't understand what a gentle soul he was. I was thankful for that when they jumped out of our way, though. Especially with a crowd of rabid fans chasing after us.<br /> Jones barked at security to make sure no one followed us out into the artist lot and slammed the heavy metal door shut behind us. He swore and scowled at the door like it was the problem. "What do we even pay security for if they can't keep people away?"<br /> The woman over my shoulder groaned and grabbed my hips. I waited to see if she would say anything else, but she didn't. Her arms fell limp again and I released a breath at not having her scream and freak out while dangling over my shoulder.<br /> "I'll call the medic." Xavier hurried ahead to the bus.<br /> "This puts a damper on my plans." I sighed and glanced over at Jones. "We put on a good show and I was planning on drinking my face off to celebrate."<br /> "The medics are quick. We'll get her taken care of, apologize, and then send her on her way. With the medics, hopefully." He ran his eyes over the full hip over my shoulder. "Too bad you knocked her out before seeing if she wanted to drink with us."<br /> I laughed. "She sure is pretty. I doubt she'll be in a forgiving mood, though. I should've been looking at where I was going."<br /> "Why change now? Forget what I said earlier. We're in our forties. Let's not waste our time. Old dogs and new tricks, you know." He reached the bus before me and opened the door. "You put your guitar down."<br /> I winced. "I'll send a text to Shane as soon as I put her down."<br /> "I'll do it now. They're going to have to chase down whatever fan saw it and took it, probably. I highly doubt it's still sitting where you left it."<br /> I didn't want to think about my baby being in someone else's hands so instead, I focused on the woman in my arms. I climbed the steps and entered the bus, letting the cool AC wash over my overheated skin. The first space on the bus was a living room with four comfortable couches and I eased the unconscious woman down on one of them.<br /> Stretched out on the couch, her curves were even more noticeable. She was wearing tight black jeans and a low-cut top that was black and mostly straps and lace. I didn't get it, but I liked it. It was bad for me to notice her body, but the top curves of her breasts were spilling out of the shirt deliciously.<br /> I forced my eyes to her forehead and frowned. The cut was definitely from my baby. It looked like either a cord or a corner of my guitar had hit her just perfectly to leave a small cut. The skin around the cut didn't look too angry and overall, she looked okay. Besides being unconscious. I ran my hands under the back of her head and felt around to see if I found a lump from her hitting her head on the ground, but there was nothing.<br /> "The medics are tied up at another stage." Xavier growled in frustration and stared down at the woman. "Cut looks fine. Anything along the back of her head?"<br /> I shook my head. "No. She seems fine, honestly."<br /> "I don't like that she passed out." He sat down across from her and rested his elbows on his knees. "Go ahead and shower. I'll watch over her until you're back."<br /> Xavier, Jones, and I had served in the military together. We'd each done enough time to know how to take care of basic medical emergencies and several other things we'd never need in civilian life. It'd been a long time since any of us had to do first-aid in the field, but we could still hold our own.<br /> "Sure. I'll be fast." I winced. "I'm the one who plowed her over. I should be the one that has to explain it."<br /> I showered as fast as possible in the small bus bathroom but I still wasn't fast enough. By the time I shut the water off, I could already hear a husky female voice I didn't recognize ranting away. I wrapped a towel around myself and rushed out to apologize and get her to stop chewing out Jones and Xavier.<br /> What I found wasn't her chewing them out, though. She was pacing back and forth in front of where they sat on their own couches with her hands on her hips and fury on her face. She wasn't angry at us, though. Nope. It seemed another man had pissed in her cereal that morning.<br /> "This is just the cherry on the cake. Why not get a scar to memorialize the day I walked in on my boyfriend cheating on me? I'm so angry I could punch him in the manhood."<br /> I swear all three of us males cringed. I also had to rearrange my thinking. She was no Disney princess. She had spunk, to say the least.<br /> "She had the nerve to brag about his oral skills. Please. I literally have had better climaxs humping my hand. Either her needs are rock bottom, which is great for her if that's the case, or she was just lying to try to hurt me. I'm embarrassed, sure! It's not everyday you walk in on your boyfriend motorboating Miriam Dark's private part lips, but whatever. I'm just pissed. I came all the way here. I shaved. I put lotion on every inch of my body. Even the backs of my knees. Did I care that they're going to get sweaty faster now? Nope. I wanted to be smooth."<br /> I leaned against the doorway and let myself really look at her. She was taller than I'd thought and had legs that stretched on for miles. The black jeans hugged her full hip and hips in a way that made my mouth water. Her waist clipped in just enough that my hands would fit in the notch perfectly if I was taking her from behind. Her shirt made her full breasts look even more delicious while she was standing and I was at half-mast almost immediately.<br /> Her body, as stunning as it was, nearly touched on the beauty that was her face. Her big blue eyes were surrounded by dark eyelashes and her pouty mouth was stained red. She had dark brown hair down to her shoulders that curled wildly. If she hadn't been swearing, her creamy skin would've really made her look like a Disney princess. She could've probably gone down to Florida and got a job playing one of them right then. I'd never been attracted to a Disney princess before, though.<br /> "And you want to know the worst part? I work for the stupid prick. And no, before anyone has the jackass assumption that I'm sleeping my way into my position, I'm not. I'm better at his job than he is and I've been sticking around for even longer than I should've because he kept promising that he'd put in a good word with his boss for me. Because I deserve it. I do his work. I can't remember the last time he's had to do a single thing. At least he chose to sleep with Miriam himself. Although, I'm pretty sure I'd be better at that, too."<br /> Jones snorted and held up his hands when the little firecracker spun on him. "I'm not disagreeing with you, honey. I'm just enjoying hearing you eviscerate this manhoodhead."<br /> She stared at him and slowly her face darkened and she brought her hand up to cover her mouth. She looked absolutely distressed and I hated it.<br /> "What's wrong?" I made myself known and was rewarded with watching her eyes trail down my chest. The way her eyes got all bedroom heavy and she licked her lips turned that almost solid shaft into a full blown shaft. I had to shift to hide it from her curious eyes.<br /> She glanced back at Jones and then at Xavier. "Oh."<br /> Xavier stood up and inched towards her. "Are you okay? Your head... Is it hurting?"<br /> She looked up at him and I saw the way her body naturally swayed towards my giant of a best friend. Something about that made me want to hug her. Some women treated Xavier and his size like a threat and it hurt him. "Oh. I can't believe I didn't realize before now. You're JAX."<br /> Jones sighed and nodded. "Yep."<br /> She pushed her curls back from her face. "Don't worry. I'm not going to fangirl. I'm just mortified. I work for your record label and this is now the most unprofessional vacation I've ever taken. I have to go. Can you just forget you ever saw me?" | Libb002 | 48 | https://facebook.com/61551403614101 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Kayan<br /> I was betrayed by two people I trusted implicitly, my best friend and my fiancรฉ, or so i thought.<br /> Without saying a word, I bent down and picked up my phone. By this time Dimitri had donned his boxers and his slim fit navy dress pants. Mariana on the other hand was gripping the white sheet, trying to cover her body and was sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> Normally her tears would have stirred some sort of emotion but I felt absolutely nothing looking at her.<br /> Dimitri stepped towards me with his outstretched hand but I stepped back, and when I spoke my own voice surprised me.<br /> Two words, " How long?". I stared at both of them expectantly. Dimitri sighed and rubbed his face, looking at me with regret.<br /> When no response was forthcoming from him, I turned to Mariana and pinned her with a glare. " Shut up Mariana! I asked a question and I need an answer now!" I shouted.<br /> She pulled her knees to her chest as her body shook in fear, she had only seen me angry once so she knew not to taunt me. Dimitri on the other hand, was stunned.<br /> She looked at me and stuttered in fear " S....si...six months", and hung her head low. I absorbed her reply, laughed hysterically, which caught both of them by surprise. They looked at each other shrugging their shoulders and just as I started laughing suddenly, I stopped abruptly.<br /> "Six months you say? I guess this is the part where you'll say it was a mistake, you never meant to hurt me and you're both sorry right?." I spoke calmly, surprising myself.<br /> Dimitri was first to speak " Kay, please I'm so sorry. We were both tipsy after your work anniversary party,and after I dropped her off, everything went to terrible. I'm so sorry baby but..." I laughed again, cutting him off mid sentence.<br /> I held my hand up then turned to Mariana" What about you bimbo, any last words?" Her eyes bulged in fear and I watched her squirm in fear. She knew I could put a bullet between her eyes even with my eyes closed , thanks to my Dad taking me to the pistol range every Saturday for 2 years.<br /> She sprung to her knees, the sheet fell exposing her and I saw all the hickeys along her neck and on her breasts. "Kay please, let's talk about this. I'm so sorry and I regret this. I'm so sorry for hurting you like this, it wasn't planned."<br /> The nerve of this woman, I thought. I should have listened to my gut all those months ago. She kept thwarting our plans, started traveling a lot and would barely take my video calls then. And she kept changing or bashing my wedding plans and like a fool, I brushed it aside.<br /> Dimitri was the same, one business trip after another, late nights and then he was distant. When I asked him about it, he promised to do better than what he did, but there was a subtle change. We no longer have sleep.<br /> Both of them looked at me expectantly, waiting for the weak, docile Kayan to shed tears and assure them everything would be okay.<br /> I dropped my phone into my bag, grabbed my pistol and clicked the safety off. I swiftly fired two rounds which were followed by agonizing screams. I shot Dimitri in his thigh just inches from his shaft while Mariana got hers in her right shoulder. Just enough to cause pain but not be fatal.<br /> I walked out the room but turned to them saying " That's for the betrayal, I never want to see or hear from either of you again. The next time you won't be so lucky."<br /> I descended the stairs shakily, I touched my face checking for tears but there were none. My chest was convulsing but I refused to give in to the pain I was feeling.<br /> As I got to the last step, I looked around, marched over to the fireplace and threw all photos she had of us together into it. I lifted the stoker, broke her 60" Samsung TV and everything went red from thereon. I trashed her apartment then walked out as if nothing happened.<br /> I grabbed my baseball bat from my trunk, smashed all her windows and doors. Just as I about to leave, I saw Dimitri's Silver Range Rover across the street.<br /> How didn't I notice it before?<br /> I walked up to it and repeated my actions. When I was satisfied, I hopped into my van and drove away.<br /> ---- <br /> Dimitri<br /> I couldn't believe Kayan shot us and simply walked away. I had known her for over 6 years but I never encountered this side of her. I knew I deserved that, worst of all, I ruined the one good thing I had done.<br /> I was thinking with my shaft and not my brain, because in assessing the current situation, Mariana was just a good woman. There is attraction, but the feelings I have for Kayan are deeper.<br /> Her sobs reverberated around the bedroom , bringing me back to the current situation.<br /> When Kayan left the room, I heard her trashing Mariana's apartment downstairs and was about to go after her.<br /> Mariana's words stopped me dead in my tracks, "Leave her be, Dimitri, she will kill you! She needs to calm down first before we approach her." I turned to her slowly, trying to ignore the pain and blood gushing from my wound.<br /> "What do you mean Mari? I'm going after her! There is no us. This was a mistake. I need to talk to her!" I ran my hands over my face then slid my belt around my leg making a tourniquet.<br /> She slid off the bed, gripping the sheet with her uninjured shoulder. " Take it from me, we're lucky to be alive! You have never seen her upset or know what she's capable of in this state but I do!" She tiptoed to the door listening for any further sound from downstairs, but was greeted with silence.<br /> Mariana sat on the stairs shaking and crying while gripping her disheveled hair.<br /> The front door was ajar, I moved to lock it but the sight of Mariana's car took my breath away. I looked across the street to mine and it looked even worst.<br /> I shook my head, sighed and turned too quickly, causing a searing pain in the bullet wound.<br /> I called my driver Michael and told him to be quick and discreet.<br /> Mariana got dressed in the meantime while we waited with bated breaths.<br /> Michael arrived in about 10 minutes, his eyes expressed shock but he knew better than to ask any questions.<br /> He drove us to Wyckoff Medical, the only place I knew would be discreet about what happened.<br /> Using the back entrance, we were quickly ushered into separate rooms for assessment.<br /> As I laid on the bed, I felt Dr. Green prodding my wound for the bullet. He's been our family physician since I was a child, so when he asked who I pissed off this time , I sighed and ignored him.<br /> All I could think about was Kayan, she was my everything!<br /> Not anymore you prick, you screwed up and you're lucky to be alive, I shook my head, trying to shake guilt ridden thoughts from my subconscious.<br /> I reminisced on all the times we spent together, the plans we made for our future and our kids. I reflected on how she supported me even when my own father doubted me. She never gave up on me. You shut up Dimitri!<br /> Dr. Green waved his hand above my eyes while calling my name. " Did you hear anything I said just now?" he asked quietly.<br /> I sighed " No, what is it?". My tone was clipped but right now I didn't care, I could apologize later.<br /> He rolled his eyes before continuing "I said there's a detective waiting outside to talk to you, you know it's my duty to report this." He grabbed a scissors and cut the thread, signaling that he had finished stitching my wound.<br /> "You'll live, but stay off your feet for a few days, and use a crutch if you have to move around." Dr. Green bandaged my leg and was about to leave when I stopped him.<br /> "Wait, I apologize for my behavior Doc. Where's the young lady who came in with me? I need to see her now." He looked at me sadly, shook his head and left the room without a word.<br /> My guess is he figured out why Kayan hadn't rushed into the hospital demanding answers. The realization hit me of how I not only disappointed Kayan but everyone close to me, especially my parents. <br /> I must have dosed off from the pain medication I had gotten as I was woken up by Mariana gently shaking my shoulder and calling my name.<br /> Blinking my eyes to adjust to the bright lights, I grabbed the remote and adjusted my bed. Mariana looked terrible, her hair was unkempt and her eyes were swollen. Her right arm was bandaged and now in a sling.<br /> She sat in the chair beside the bed and hung her head low. " I spoke to the police, I told them we were mugged at the apartment as we were trying to finalize wedding arrangements." It was barely a whisper, but I sighed in relief.<br /> "We messed up but I agree, I'll tell them the same thing. Kayan doesn't deserve this." My throat felt hoarse so I reached for a tumbler with water, poured a cup and took several sips.<br /> " I told you we needed to stop Dimitri but you insisted on coming over!" I pinned her with a glare which caused her to shut up immediately.<br /> The nerve of this woman! I laughed coldly before turning to her " Oh so now it's my fault Mar? Surely you weren't complaining when I rammed your wet dripping private part with my shaft right? You never said stop! Anything else I'm forgetting?" My chest was heaving by the time I finished ranting.<br /> I was about to continue but her sobs erupted. She looked at me lost, guilt etched across her face before she stood to leave.<br /> "Look Mar, I'm sorry okay. I just don't know what to do." I held her wrist, my thumb caressing the inside of her hand in a comforting way. "How did she get in though?"<br /> Mariana was trembling as tears streamed down her face. She took a deep breath before she spoke. "I forgot she had a key from over a year ago. She would always check the place when I traveled for a convention or went to see my family."<br /> My mouth opened to speak but no words were forthcoming and they never came as the door banged open, slamming into the wall denting it.<br /> Jumping with fright, we turned to see my very pissed off father and my distraught mother. Before I could utter a word, he spoke," You, get out now and don't let me see your face again!" Mariana jumped in fear and ran from the room sobbing before I could stop her.<br /> "Dad i can explain...." He slammed his hand onto the small table, knocking the tumbler over.<br /> My mom grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down but he flicked her hand away and grabbed my hospital gown roughly, "Explain what exactly Dimitri? How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> "I'm going to fix this Dad, just give me a chance please." I turned towards my mom seeking support but she turned her head away from me. " Mom, please I'm sorry, I'll fix this. I'm gonna make everything right."<br /> My Dad simply scoffed at my words, took my Mom's hands and walked out the door.<br /> The only sound that filled the room was that of the water droplets bouncing on the floor.<br /> ---- <br /> Mariana<br /> I have never been more regretful in my entire life. My head was throbbing non stop, my eyes were puffy from all the tears I'd shed in the past 24 hours. My mind replayed the events and all I could think of, was that I should be dead by Kayan's hands.<br /> My driver dropped me off to the apartment, and as I stepped inside I once again surveyed the damage. Nothing was left untouched, I had to start over but I guess that's the price to pay for stabbing your best friend in the back for six months.<br /> I wanted to stop so many times, I knew it was wrong but Dimitri was like a spirit I couldn't get enough of.<br /> We decided to take the secret to our graves and everything was going great until I saw him a week later at Danny's Cafe. We sat and talked for a while but after an hour when we attempted to leave, the sexual tension was just too much to ignore.<br /> From thereon, we used our lunch breaks and any free time we could muster to screw each other senseless. After each encounter, we'd say it was the last time , but that never happened as soon after I took trips when he did or he came to my apartment before going home.<br /> All this time, I gave Kayan a million excuses as to why we couldn't meet up, continued planning her wedding virtually and offered excuses when she whined about Dimitri being overly consumed by work.<br /> I even ended things with my own boyfriend as our relationship became strained and miserable because of my infidelity.<br /> Now this is the endgame, I lost my best friend who always stood by me and I'm pretty sure Dimitri and I have no future.<br /> Sitting on the stairs, I decided to take a leap of faith and call Kayan. If I could just get her to listen to me for a second, I would tell her how sorry I am and try to fix things.<br /> As I dialed her number, it went directly to voice-mail, and after trying a few more times unsuccessfully, I decided to go see her. I ordered an Uber, waiting outside for a few minutes before the car pulled up.<br /> I got in, gave the driver her address and stared blankly out the window. The only sounds were that of the music playing in the dashboard.<br /> Ten minutes later, I was standing on the curb outside Kayan's townhouse. Hesitantly, I opened the gate, trudged up the steps and rang the bell. I was there waiting for a few minutes, I called her but there was no response.<br /> I walked to the garden by the lamp post where she always hid a spare key. It was gone.<br /> Just as I was about to step from the yard, I was stopped in my tracks by a faint voice. My hopes increased but when I turned around expecting Kayan, no one was there.<br /> What was that then, I thought to myself.<br /> I reopened the Uber app, placed my request and waited by the curb.<br /> "She's not here you know." I was startled by the voice and was relieved to see her neighbor Michael.<br /> "What do you mean? Where is she?" I asked hurriedly.<br /> He eyed me suspiciously before replying,<br /> "Seeing you here looking like poop tells me you had a role in Kay's sudden departure 2 hours ago." His words were true yet hurtful, I castedmy eyes down in shame.<br /> "You don't know, Mike, just tell me where she went, I need to talk to her before it's too late" I begged him.<br /> The prick was nonchalant as he leant against her gate typing away on his phone. After getting a ping, indicating a message, he looked up at me smirking.<br /> "Well if you must know, my girl left for England indefinitely..." he paused, struggling to hold back a snicker, "...Oh and she says you should go yourself or Dimatro, whatever the pretty boy's name is." Michael was now clutching his side laughing hysterically while I sighed in defeat.<br /> She's gone! And now there's no way I will find her because I can't go to her family and I'm pretty sure she's already changed her number!<br /> I didn't warrant Michael a response since the Uber pulled up, I hopped in and left.<br /> My phone began vibrating in my pocket and I grabbed it quickly, just hoping it would be Kayan. I was disappointed as Dimitri's name flashed on the screen.<br /> "What do you want Dimitri? Haven't we done enough, didn't you hear what your father said?" I shouted angrily, catching sight of the driver's raised brows in the rear view mirror.<br /> "Calm down Mari, I wanted to apologize for my Dad. I'm getting discharged now so I'm heading home, I need to sort things out with Kay." Though I had wanted the same thing minutes ago, I couldn't help the pang of jealousy that gripped me.<br /> Before I could stop myself I snarled in response<br /> "Thanks for asking how I'm doing you prick! Oh and don't bother going there because she's gone!"<br /> "What are you talking about Mari! This is not the time to joke with me..." I'd had enough of his nonsense so I cut him mid sentence " Kay's gone Dimitri, I just left the house, she's not home and her neighbor says she left for England." The other end of the line was silent.<br /> I looked at the screen to see if the call had been disconnected but the line was still open.<br /> "Dimitri?" He sighed in response and I heard him grunt in pain, perhaps moving too quickly on his injured leg.<br /> "I'm here Mari. How will I fix things if I don't know where to find her? Of all the places, she had to chose England!? Couldn't she have just gone to her parents? What am I going to do now?"<br /> I wanted to speak but my throat felt as if it was clogged.<br /> I cut the call, switched to airplane mode and rested my head against the window as fresh salty tears rolled down my cheeks.<br /> I lost everything.<br /> My best friend. Dimitri . And a family who accepted me without judgement and showed me nothing but love all these years. | Lio111 | 16 | https://facebook.com/61554822209907 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | 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! | What2628-eng | 79 | https://facebook.com/100093514056404 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

And he said he would never hurt me.<br /> He was my everything, in these few short moments, he has given me a safe haven, a home in his arms.<br /> When I came to his pack with him, I noticed that everyone around me was staring at us.<br /> โSeriously, why are they staring at us? Itโs kind of creepy,โ I asked him.<br /> โLuna, itโs so good to meet you!โ a girl said to me.<br /> โWhy are you calling me Luna, and what is wrong with all these people? Have you never seen an overgrown giant carry a broken girl before?โ<br /> โWe are calling you Luna because Drake is our alpha.โ<br /> My jaw drops as I look back at Drake. <br /> โThey are all staring at him because they are scared of him. He is Alpha Drake Moon of the Blood Moon pack.โ<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Lilly's POV<br /> I limp out of the room. It takes all of our concentration to stay on our feet, but after a minute bile rises up my throat. My insides churn as I trip and fall, the ground moving below me, but as I land, I land in someoneโs arms.<br /> I look up, my eyes watering as I take a large inhale of his scent, the anxiety and turmoil inside my body relaxing as I look into his perfect, perfect face. Tingles of pleasure ripple under my skin as his hands hold my body, replacing the pain with peace. As our eyes meet itโs like a current flows through me, straight into him. Layla gasps as we watch each other.<br /> โMate.โ<br /> โMate,โ we both cry at the same time, tears flooding my vision as he pulls me against him.<br /> โWhaโoh myโwho did this?โ he roars, my body flinching. โSorry, no, donโt be scared of me. But who would do this?โ he says to me, stuttering.<br /> I wasnโt sure if he was talking to me or not, or maybe he was just in shock, rambling because he was nervous.<br /> But before I could find out, My body shuts off as I pass out in the mate of my dreamsโ arms, Layla finally relaxing as the world around us goes into darkness.<br /> --<br /> I wake up with a sense of loss. I panic, not knowing where I am. Machines are beeping, I am cold, I have no idea what is going on.<br /> My heart pounds in my chest as I try to move, my body screams in pain. Iโm blinded by a light as I try and remember what is going on.<br /> The faster my heart rate beats the louder the beeping gets. I squint, lifting my head.<br /> Just then the man of my dreams runs through the door. Realising I am dreaming I take a breath, relaxing as my breathing starts to level out.<br /> โAre you ok!!!โ He grabs my face. But to my shock sparks light up all over my body. Layla pushes forward as his touch wakes us up.<br /> โThat doesnโt normally happen,โ I whisper to him.<br /> He frowns. โWhat doesnโt?โ<br /> His voice is louder than usual. It was like velvet, smooth but strong, demanding but patient. The sound brought life to my ears, filling me with hope.<br /> โIn my dreams you didnโt feel sparky.โ<br /> Layla pushes forward, purring as she moves our head into his hands. He looks at me, puzzled. โYou dreamed of me?โ<br /> โAm I not dreaming now?โ I ask.<br /> His eyebrow shoots up into the air as he lets out a chuckle, shaking his head. โNope, Iโm all real, babe.โ<br /> My mind is racing, trying to think of what he is talking about. What day was it? What happened? When did he get here? I had so many questions that I needed answers too, but every time I tried to ask, the sheer beauty of his face stunned me to silence.<br /> โYouโre not dreaming, Lilly. This is real, he is real,โ<br /> Layla tells me softly. Tears pool in my eyes as I take in every inch of his perfect face.<br /> He is all man, ruggedly handsome. His messy hair was long, out of place where his fingers had slipped through his dark brown locks. It is scissor cut at the sides, giving definition to his sharp and chiselled jaw. The muscles in his cheeks ripple as he talks.<br /> He must be 25/30 years old, clean shaven and so so beautiful. His dark long lashes frame his beautiful brown eyes. They hold wisdom, sparkling against the bright light, but the dark circles under his eyes had me worrying.<br /> Was he ok? Why did he look so tired? So stressed?<br /> He is tall, really tall, maybe 6ft 2/6ft 4. His large wide shoulders are perfectly proportioned to his huge muscular body. The black T-shirt he was wearing stretched over his body, fitting him far to snug for my liking.<br /> A sense of jealousy overwhelms me as I see what every other female sees, simply put he was walking, talking perfection and the thought of anyone but me ogling him left a bad taste in my mouth.<br /> My dreams have done him justice, but not even my subconscious could muster up the true beauty that stands before me.<br /> I reach out to touch him, my hand connecting to his face, sparks lighting up my fingertips as I watch him, amazed that anyone could be this beautiful, shocked that he was made for little old me and fearful that I would never be worthy of such a hunk.<br /> But as he closes his eyes at my touch, moaning, I canโt help the smile that spreads across my face.<br /> I was stunned that I too could make him feel that same sense of peace and acceptance that he made me feel every time we touched.<br /> dropping his head slightly, his breath fans my face.<br /> My body goes to blubber as his sweet vanilla scent makes my mouth water, setting every nerve end in my body on fire. Filling me with need and a desire so strong it almost chokes me.<br /> Layla pushes forward before I have the chance to stop her, her own strength overpowering my body easily, she grabs his face and slams our lips against his.<br /> My eyes slam closed and my mind comes to life, every colour of the rainbow explodes behind my eyelids as our lips touch for the very first time.<br /> We both freeze in shock, I was nervous he would reject us, but my body slowly relaxes as he busses me back.<br /> My body immediately responds, my lips fit against his perfectly, made for each other, like it was always meant to be.<br /> He moans as his tongue softly prods at my lips. My mouth opens just as he sweeps his tongue against my own. My body jolts to life when the sparks start in my mouth and spread throughout my body.<br /> Our buss is amazing, all consuming as every painful sore muscle loosens, my body wrapping around his as I pull him towards me. All sense goes out the window at his touch.<br /> โAchhhhhhhhhmmm.โ<br /> He starts to pull away but Layla isnโt having it, instead dragging him closer.<br /> โAcccchhhhhhemmmmmmm.โ<br /> He pulls back only slightly, chuckling when I realise we are no longer alone but Layla continues to cling to him, not wanting to let him go.<br /> โBabe, the doctorโs here to see you. Maybe we can pick this up when we are alone.โ My face flushes red.<br /> โOh, sorry. I might have gotten a little carried away,โ<br /> Layla tells me, giggling. I roll my eyes at her. โA little? Jeez, I donโt even know his name,โ I snap back as she cackles away in my head.<br /> โIโm so sorry, Iโm so embarrassed,โ I whisper, my cheeks heating. He snorts, shaking his head. โDonโt be, I didnโt want to stop either.โ<br /> A girly giggle escapes my lips at the fact someone that bloody beautiful wanted to buss me. Just then the doctor walks over, smiling. โDonโt worry about it. I canโt say I blame you to be honest,โ he tells my mate, winking. My mate growls, glaring at him. โMine,โ he snaps.<br /> The doctor snorts, shaking his head as I blush again, bright red. Gosh, I canโt remember ever blushing this much before ever.<br /> โWhatโs your first name?โ the doctor asks.<br /> โItโs Lilly, Lilly Morgan,โ I say with a small smile. โAnd what pack are you from, Lilly?โ<br /> Oh, the pack! My dadโs going to kill me. I am meant to be helping them.<br /> โOh, fuckity balls!โ I squeak, jumping up and looking around the room.<br /> โHey, wow, itโs ok! Stay calm, youโre ok here.โ I shake my head, realising my clothes are covered in dry blood.<br /> My mate runs his hand up and down my back gently. โShhh, itโs ok, I promise.โ<br /> I take a breath, his touch calming both me and Layla. It almost makes me feel sedated as my entire body relaxes. โUm, Iโm from Droim Mor pack,โ I say nervously, afraid I will get in trouble.<br /> โAnd what happened to you, Lilly?โ I chew my bottom lip. What do I say? I look between them nervously.<br /> โHe is our mate. We can trust him.โ<br /> โBut what will he do? What if dad turns him against us?โ<br /> She shakes her head. โNo, no more thinking about him. We need to move on, Lilly, and our mate is the way out!โ<br /> โLilly, itโs ok. They wonโt hurt you ever again. But I need to know who hurt you, baby.โ I look into his eyes and every fibre in my body believes what he says, but it is still extremely hard to admit it out loud.<br /> โMyyy f-atherrr,โ I whisper.<br /> He lets out a sharp growl. My body tenses at the noise. I clench my eyes closed, taking a deep breath to calm my racing heart.<br /> Suddenly the noise stops and his hands land on my back, calming me once again. โSorry Lilly, I didnโt mean to scare you.โ<br /> He lifts my chin, his eyes meeting mine. โI wonโt hurt you, I wonโt ever hurt YOU.โ<br /> Every emotion possible passes through me at his words, my heart shattering as all the fear, the anxiety and depression all come crashing down as I sob into my hands. I had been holding it all back for years, only letting a little escape at a time.<br /> But it felt like it was a dam that my mate pulled to pieces in a few short seconds, exposing the truth of the past, the pain that I had been through and the trauma that I would live with forever.<br /> โItโs ok, he wonโt hurt us,โ Layla says softly, trying to comfort me.<br /> โI know, but I canโt believe itโs over,โ I tell her. He pulls me against his chest, running his hand up and down my back. โShhhhh, itโs ok, Iโve got you now, babe.โ<br /> For some silly reason that makes me cry harder. Every pain, break, bruise, every time he raped me, hit me, kicked me. It all hits me, it all destroys me as I cry it all out. I felt like a weak little girl, being held together by a big strong man. Strangely, I didnโt hate it, in fact, I craved that strength, that safe space where I could fall apart and still be held together.<br /> He was it, he was my everything, in these few short moments, he has given me a safe haven, a home in his arms.<br /> โIโm so sorry, Iโm so sorry I scared you, Iโm so sorry I wasnโt there. But I am now, and nobody will ever hurt you again,โ he tells me, rubbing calming circles up and down my back.<br /> I pull back, wiping my face as I shake my head. โItโs not on you, he did this, not you.โ I use his shirt to wipe my tears.<br /> He chuckles, watching me as I pull myself together.<br /> When Iโm done sobbing like a big baby he lifts my chin and he places a gentle buss against my lips.<br /> โOk, Lilly, I need you to lie back so I can check you over,โ<br /> the doctor says, pulling me from my thoughts.I smile, lying back as he comes to my side.<br /> My mate whose name is still a mystery glares at him. He watches as he lifts my top to check my body. My mateโs eyes widen as he gasps, looking to the doctor and back to me.<br /> He starts to poke and prod at me. Nothing hurts all that much. I look like bad but I no longer feel like bad. Layla turns away from me, going to the back of my head and shutting me out.<br /> โI donโt know how, Lilly, but your ribs are already healed.โ<br /> โYeah, they donโt hurt either.โ He frowns, looking to my mate. His face is like stone as the doctor helps me sit up.<br /> Other than feeling a little dizzy I feel ok. He checks me over, shining lights in my eyes, tapping my reflexes and checking the wound on my head.<br /> โOther than a concussion and a lot of bruising, your body has somehow healed. Iโm not sure how, but it has.โ He starts writing stuff down on a chart. โIf you promise to take it easy I donโt see why you canโt take her home today.โ<br /> I look to my mate awkwardly. His face lights up as he smiles down at me. โI think I can see to that.โ<br /> I sigh in relief. The thought of going back near that monster makes me feel physically ill. โOf course it goes without saying that you stay far away from your father.โ<br /> โDonโt worry, if I have my way she wonโt ever see his dirty rotten face again,โ he snaps.<br /> I smirk up at him as he turns, lifting a bag and placing it on the bed beside me. โI had my people run out and grab you some clothes.โ<br /> โPeople? You have people?โ I ask, chewing my lip. He nods. โYes, we have people now,โ he answers.<br /> โDo you need help getting changed, Lillyโโ Before the doctor even has a chance to answer, our mate growls, his wolf pushing forward and grabbing him by the scruff of the neck. โMine!โ The doctor puts his hands in the air.<br /> โI meant the nurses! Youโre really big,โ he wheezes, catching his hand. Satisfied with that answer, our mate drops him. โIf my mate needs help I will help her,โ he snaps impatiently.<br /> โYes, I think we have established that, jeez.โ He pats his shirt down, clearly amused by the entire thing as I take into a fit of giggles, shaking my head.<br /> โSo not to make things awkward but would you mind telling me your name?โ I ask, scratching the back of my head. The doctor bursts out laughing at the fact.<br /> My mate smirks, looking at me. โDrake, Drake Moon.โ<br /> โSeven, double O seven,โ the doctor teases. Drake glares at him as I laugh, shaking my head. โYou realise itโs Bond, James Bond, right?โ I ask, his face flushes red.<br /> Drake snorts, laughing with me.<br /> โYeah, I think itโs time for Mr Bond over here to get out, get out right now,โ he snaps at the poor doctor.<br /> I am so busy laughing I donโt even care that that was totally rude. โJust trying to lighten the mood, dude, but whatever. Good luck, Lilly.โ He winks as he leaves, closing the door behind him.<br /> Drake watches him go. Then he turns back to me. โDid he just call me dude?โ He says it like it tastes funny, screwing his face up as I laugh even harder. He chuckles, pulling clothes out of the bag for me.<br /> โWe didnโt know your size, so Fiona got you one of those long dresses with a cardigan.โ He pulls out a black maxi dress with a yellow cardigan. It is simple but pretty.<br /> I pull off my shirt and hand it to him. His eyes widen as he freezes, his eyes on my chest. I take the dress from his hand and I pull it over my head, smirking at him. โYou ok over there?โ I ask.<br /> He shakes himself a little, his eyes returning to my eyes as his face flares slightly. โYeah, sorry. I just wasnโt prepared,โ he says, clearing his throat.<br /> I chuckle, grabbing the cardigan. I pull it on. He hands me a brush next, so I pull it through my tangled web of hair, giving up and pulling it into a messy bun on my head.<br /> โWhat time is it? Iโm starving.โ<br /> โBreakfast.โ Iโm surprised by that. โHow long have I been sleeping?โ He checks the time on his watch. โI found you at 3pm yesterday. Itโs seven now, so 16 hours.โ<br /> I shake my head. โHe started the beating at around seven yesterday morning. I must have passed out until I walked into you.โ<br /> His jaw ticks, closing his eyes. โIโve never seen anything like it before. I donโt know how you were even conscious and I definitely donโt know how youโre healed right now.โ<br /> I shrug, wondering that too. Layla is still locking me out so she is zero help. He passes me my Converses next so I pull them on and touch my toes to the floor, cringing as the muscles in my legs ache. He catches my hips as I take a step, my head going woozy as I grab hold of his arms.<br /> โWow,โ I snap, losing my balance.<br /> He scoops me up. โYeah, youโre not walking anywhere like that. Iโll just have to carry you,โ he smirks, planting a soft buss against my lips. I smile against his lips, relaxing into his arms as he surrounds me, making my tiny frame feel so safe.<br /> โDo you want to eat in the room or in the dining hall with myโno, sorry, our people?โ I wish I knew what โour peopleโ meant.<br /> Layla comes forward smiling at me. โDo it! I want to meet them,โ she tells me encouragingly. โThe dining hall, please.โ<br /> He smiles, grabbing my phone off the side table and he hands it to me. I check it as we walk. I have so many messages from Emma. Feeling guilty, I open them immediately.<br /> โHey howโs the summit?โ<br /> โHey where are you?โ<br /> โLilly youโre doing that really annoying thing that you do, text me back please!!โ<br /> โOh for heaven's sake you better have a good excuse for not answering meโ<br /> โWho is that?โ Drake asks, pushing his head between me and my phone to look at my messages. I giggle. โItโs my best friend Emma. Sorry, only friend. She just met her mate and moved to the Blood Moon pack and she gets crazy if I donโt text her back.โ<br /> He smirks, pursing his lips. โWhat does she think of it? Blood Moon I mean?โ<br /> I shrug. โShe seems to like it ok, said the people are nice. The alpha is a little scary but the pack is better than the one we came from.โ<br /> He nods his head. โWhy is he scary?โ he asks, screwing up his nose.<br /> โI donโt know. She said when he walks into the room he shuts most conversations down. He only really socialises with his ranked members.โ He shrugs.<br /> โMaybe he only socialises with his ranked members because thatโs all the people in the world he can trust. Blood Moonโs a big pack, a lot of people would be out for his job.โ I nod my head. โI hear that. Up until now Emma is the only person in the world that I can trust.โ<br /> He smiles, not adding anything more as I type a message back.<br /> โHey sorry, I met my mate and I didnโt have my phone. But Iโm ok, I can ring you later when things settle downโ<br /> โIf you trust her, why are you lying to her?โ I shrug.<br /> โI donโt want her to worry about something she canโt change. Sheโs all the way there and Iโm all the way here, plus Iโm ok really.โ<br /> โYouโre ok? Lilly youโre black and blue. You have a concussion. You are the definition of not ok.โ I smirk at him.<br /> Layla purses her lips. โMaybe he has a point,โ she says thoughtfully. โI am, yeah Iโm black and blue, but Iโm not in pain. I found you. To me Iโm ok.โ<br /> He smiles at me. โYouโre really rather remarkable, arenโt you?โ I blush as he drops his head in the crook of my neck, sniffing me. โAnd you smell so good!โ<br /> He nips my neck with his teeth, sending a shiver straight down my spine. I gasp at the feel of his lips against my skin. It feels like I have just found my heart and soul. Now itโs having a party, celebrating the fact that we are finally back together.<br /> โSo these people that are ours, who are they?โ I ask, trying to distract myself from the flooding of my arousal flowing through my body. I definitely donโt want the entire lobby smelling my arousal. โJust our people,โ he says, heading towards the dining room.<br /> โBut why are they our people?โ He purses his lips, thinking. As we walk, everyone in our path steps out of it. It is like they are grapes shrivelling up and turning into raisins.<br /> --<br /> Reaching the dining hall the entire place goes quiet. I look behind us, wondering what they are afraid of. He snorts, chuckling.<br /> โWhat are they so afraid of?โ I snap, making him laugh, shaking his head. A table not far in front of us all stand up, grinning as we approach. But by now you could hear a pin drop. The entire place has completely shut down.<br /> โSeriously, why are they staring at us? Itโs kind of creepy.โ He just continues to chuckle as two men and a lady smile. โLuna, itโs so good to meet you!โ I freeze, looking up at Drake.<br /> โWhy is he laughing, why are you calling me Luna, and what is wrong with all these people? Have you never seen an overgrown giant carry a broken girl before?โ<br /> I snap louder, glaring at the crowd as Drake throws his head back, howling. His friends look between each other, then back at us. โI canโtโyouโtellโher, I canโt,โ he splutters, taking a seat with me on his knee.<br /> The girl starts to giggle, shaking her head. โWe are calling you Luna because Drake is our alpha, me and Ben are his betas, and Mark is his gamma.โ<br /> My jaw drops as I look back at Drake. โThey are all staring at him because they are scared of him. He is Alpha Drake Moon of the Blood Moon pack.โ<br /> My face falls as I gasp. Turning around I slap his shoulder. โYou big prick, you let me go on and on.โ<br /> He howls in laughter again as the crowd around us gasp at me hitting him.<br /> โOh shut up. Heโs my mate, Iโm allowed to hit him.โ I glare at an old pair sitting behind us as Drake takes a deep steadying breath.<br /> โI swear that was amazing,โ Drake says as he finally stops laughing at me. He leans forward, bussing my lips as I glare at him.<br /> โOh come on, donโt be grumpy. It was a little funny.โ I smirk, trying to hide my smile. Lifting my fingers I pinch them together. โOk, maybe a little.โ<br /> He pecks my lips again, pulling back, and he buries his head in the crook of my neck, sniffing in my scent. His body relaxes immediately as I look back at โour peopleโ.<br /> โSo Iโm a luna? Are you sure you want me as a luna?โ<br /> I ask, screwing up my face.<br /> โOh we want you as a luna! You just hit the alpha. I love you already and there is no give backs. We are keeping you,โ the one called Ben says.<br /> Fiona nods her head in agreement. โAgreed, we are keeping you.โ<br /> โI also think youโre awesome,โ Mark adds.<br /> Drake snorts. โYouโve never called me any of those things.โ<br /> โThatโs because youโre a big grump. Luna Lilly is already winning,โ Fiona says. Drake flips her the bird. โThatโs your birthday present going into the furnace when I get home.โ<br /> She snorts, rolling her eyes. โOh please, I have your card in my back pocket. I donโt need no half assed attempt at a gift when I can just buy my own, thank you very much,โ<br /> she snaps, opening her menu and winking at me. I giggle as Drake rolls his eyes.<br /> โSo are we ever going to get to the part where you tell us who did that to you, Luna?โ My body tenses immediately. All thoughts of my father have all but disappeared. But as I shake off the feeling and go to open my mouth I hear a growl rumbling through the dining hall.<br /> One so familiar my entire body runs cold. My heart rate accelerates as all the breath leaves my lungs. I scrunch my eyes closed as my frame starts to tremble in fear, tears pooling in my eyes. Waiting for the hit that usually came after that terrifying sound. | Shep002 | 61 | https://facebook.com/100093452425291 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | 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! | What2628-eng | 79 | https://facebook.com/100093514056404 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | 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. 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 /> "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 | Lio112 | 9 | https://facebook.com/61554738300424 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

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! | What2628-eng | 79 | https://facebook.com/100093514056404 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Kayan<br /> I was betrayed by two people I trusted implicitly, my best friend and my fiancรฉ, or so i thought.<br /> Without saying a word, I bent down and picked up my phone. By this time Dimitri had donned his boxers and his slim fit navy dress pants. Mariana on the other hand was gripping the white sheet, trying to cover her body and was sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> Normally her tears would have stirred some sort of emotion but I felt absolutely nothing looking at her.<br /> Dimitri stepped towards me with his outstretched hand but I stepped back, and when I spoke my own voice surprised me.<br /> Two words, " How long?". I stared at both of them expectantly. Dimitri sighed and rubbed his face, looking at me with regret.<br /> When no response was forthcoming from him, I turned to Mariana and pinned her with a glare. " Shut up Mariana! I asked a question and I need an answer now!" I shouted.<br /> She pulled her knees to her chest as her body shook in fear, she had only seen me angry once so she knew not to taunt me. Dimitri on the other hand, was stunned.<br /> She looked at me and stuttered in fear " S....si...six months", and hung her head low. I absorbed her reply, laughed hysterically, which caught both of them by surprise. They looked at each other shrugging their shoulders and just as I started laughing suddenly, I stopped abruptly.<br /> "Six months you say? I guess this is the part where you'll say it was a mistake, you never meant to hurt me and you're both sorry right?." I spoke calmly, surprising myself.<br /> Dimitri was first to speak " Kay, please I'm so sorry. We were both tipsy after your work anniversary party,and after I dropped her off, everything went to terrible. I'm so sorry baby but..." I laughed again, cutting him off mid sentence.<br /> I held my hand up then turned to Mariana" What about you bimbo, any last words?" Her eyes bulged in fear and I watched her squirm in fear. She knew I could put a bullet between her eyes even with my eyes closed , thanks to my Dad taking me to the pistol range every Saturday for 2 years.<br /> She sprung to her knees, the sheet fell exposing her and I saw all the hickeys along her neck and on her breasts. "Kay please, let's talk about this. I'm so sorry and I regret this. I'm so sorry for hurting you like this, it wasn't planned."<br /> The nerve of this woman, I thought. I should have listened to my gut all those months ago. She kept thwarting our plans, started traveling a lot and would barely take my video calls then. And she kept changing or bashing my wedding plans and like a fool, I brushed it aside.<br /> Dimitri was the same, one business trip after another, late nights and then he was distant. When I asked him about it, he promised to do better than what he did, but there was a subtle change. We no longer have sleep.<br /> Both of them looked at me expectantly, waiting for the weak, docile Kayan to shed tears and assure them everything would be okay.<br /> I dropped my phone into my bag, grabbed my pistol and clicked the safety off. I swiftly fired two rounds which were followed by agonizing screams. I shot Dimitri in his thigh just inches from his shaft while Mariana got hers in her right shoulder. Just enough to cause pain but not be fatal.<br /> I walked out the room but turned to them saying " That's for the betrayal, I never want to see or hear from either of you again. The next time you won't be so lucky."<br /> I descended the stairs shakily, I touched my face checking for tears but there were none. My chest was convulsing but I refused to give in to the pain I was feeling.<br /> As I got to the last step, I looked around, marched over to the fireplace and threw all photos she had of us together into it. I lifted the stoker, broke her 60" Samsung TV and everything went red from thereon. I trashed her apartment then walked out as if nothing happened.<br /> I grabbed my baseball bat from my trunk, smashed all her windows and doors. Just as I about to leave, I saw Dimitri's Silver Range Rover across the street.<br /> How didn't I notice it before?<br /> I walked up to it and repeated my actions. When I was satisfied, I hopped into my van and drove away.<br /> ---- <br /> Dimitri<br /> I couldn't believe Kayan shot us and simply walked away. I had known her for over 6 years but I never encountered this side of her. I knew I deserved that, worst of all, I ruined the one good thing I had done.<br /> I was thinking with my shaft and not my brain, because in assessing the current situation, Mariana was just a good woman. There is attraction, but the feelings I have for Kayan are deeper.<br /> Her sobs reverberated around the bedroom , bringing me back to the current situation.<br /> When Kayan left the room, I heard her trashing Mariana's apartment downstairs and was about to go after her.<br /> Mariana's words stopped me dead in my tracks, "Leave her be, Dimitri, she will kill you! She needs to calm down first before we approach her." I turned to her slowly, trying to ignore the pain and blood gushing from my wound.<br /> "What do you mean Mari? I'm going after her! There is no us. This was a mistake. I need to talk to her!" I ran my hands over my face then slid my belt around my leg making a tourniquet.<br /> She slid off the bed, gripping the sheet with her uninjured shoulder. " Take it from me, we're lucky to be alive! You have never seen her upset or know what she's capable of in this state but I do!" She tiptoed to the door listening for any further sound from downstairs, but was greeted with silence.<br /> Mariana sat on the stairs shaking and crying while gripping her disheveled hair.<br /> The front door was ajar, I moved to lock it but the sight of Mariana's car took my breath away. I looked across the street to mine and it looked even worst.<br /> I shook my head, sighed and turned too quickly, causing a searing pain in the bullet wound.<br /> I called my driver Michael and told him to be quick and discreet.<br /> Mariana got dressed in the meantime while we waited with bated breaths.<br /> Michael arrived in about 10 minutes, his eyes expressed shock but he knew better than to ask any questions.<br /> He drove us to Wyckoff Medical, the only place I knew would be discreet about what happened.<br /> Using the back entrance, we were quickly ushered into separate rooms for assessment.<br /> As I laid on the bed, I felt Dr. Green prodding my wound for the bullet. He's been our family physician since I was a child, so when he asked who I pissed off this time , I sighed and ignored him.<br /> All I could think about was Kayan, she was my everything!<br /> Not anymore you prick, you screwed up and you're lucky to be alive, I shook my head, trying to shake guilt ridden thoughts from my subconscious.<br /> I reminisced on all the times we spent together, the plans we made for our future and our kids. I reflected on how she supported me even when my own father doubted me. She never gave up on me. You shut up Dimitri!<br /> Dr. Green waved his hand above my eyes while calling my name. " Did you hear anything I said just now?" he asked quietly.<br /> I sighed " No, what is it?". My tone was clipped but right now I didn't care, I could apologize later.<br /> He rolled his eyes before continuing "I said there's a detective waiting outside to talk to you, you know it's my duty to report this." He grabbed a scissors and cut the thread, signaling that he had finished stitching my wound.<br /> "You'll live, but stay off your feet for a few days, and use a crutch if you have to move around." Dr. Green bandaged my leg and was about to leave when I stopped him.<br /> "Wait, I apologize for my behavior Doc. Where's the young lady who came in with me? I need to see her now." He looked at me sadly, shook his head and left the room without a word.<br /> My guess is he figured out why Kayan hadn't rushed into the hospital demanding answers. The realization hit me of how I not only disappointed Kayan but everyone close to me, especially my parents. <br /> I must have dosed off from the pain medication I had gotten as I was woken up by Mariana gently shaking my shoulder and calling my name.<br /> Blinking my eyes to adjust to the bright lights, I grabbed the remote and adjusted my bed. Mariana looked terrible, her hair was unkempt and her eyes were swollen. Her right arm was bandaged and now in a sling.<br /> She sat in the chair beside the bed and hung her head low. " I spoke to the police, I told them we were mugged at the apartment as we were trying to finalize wedding arrangements." It was barely a whisper, but I sighed in relief.<br /> "We messed up but I agree, I'll tell them the same thing. Kayan doesn't deserve this." My throat felt hoarse so I reached for a tumbler with water, poured a cup and took several sips.<br /> " I told you we needed to stop Dimitri but you insisted on coming over!" I pinned her with a glare which caused her to shut up immediately.<br /> The nerve of this woman! I laughed coldly before turning to her " Oh so now it's my fault Mar? Surely you weren't complaining when I rammed your wet dripping private part with my shaft right? You never said stop! Anything else I'm forgetting?" My chest was heaving by the time I finished ranting.<br /> I was about to continue but her sobs erupted. She looked at me lost, guilt etched across her face before she stood to leave.<br /> "Look Mar, I'm sorry okay. I just don't know what to do." I held her wrist, my thumb caressing the inside of her hand in a comforting way. "How did she get in though?"<br /> Mariana was trembling as tears streamed down her face. She took a deep breath before she spoke. "I forgot she had a key from over a year ago. She would always check the place when I traveled for a convention or went to see my family."<br /> My mouth opened to speak but no words were forthcoming and they never came as the door banged open, slamming into the wall denting it.<br /> Jumping with fright, we turned to see my very pissed off father and my distraught mother. Before I could utter a word, he spoke," You, get out now and don't let me see your face again!" Mariana jumped in fear and ran from the room sobbing before I could stop her.<br /> "Dad i can explain...." He slammed his hand onto the small table, knocking the tumbler over.<br /> My mom grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down but he flicked her hand away and grabbed my hospital gown roughly, "Explain what exactly Dimitri? How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> "I'm going to fix this Dad, just give me a chance please." I turned towards my mom seeking support but she turned her head away from me. " Mom, please I'm sorry, I'll fix this. I'm gonna make everything right."<br /> My Dad simply scoffed at my words, took my Mom's hands and walked out the door.<br /> The only sound that filled the room was that of the water droplets bouncing on the floor.<br /> ---- <br /> Mariana<br /> I have never been more regretful in my entire life. My head was throbbing non stop, my eyes were puffy from all the tears I'd shed in the past 24 hours. My mind replayed the events and all I could think of, was that I should be dead by Kayan's hands.<br /> My driver dropped me off to the apartment, and as I stepped inside I once again surveyed the damage. Nothing was left untouched, I had to start over but I guess that's the price to pay for stabbing your best friend in the back for six months.<br /> I wanted to stop so many times, I knew it was wrong but Dimitri was like a spirit I couldn't get enough of.<br /> We decided to take the secret to our graves and everything was going great until I saw him a week later at Danny's Cafe. We sat and talked for a while but after an hour when we attempted to leave, the sexual tension was just too much to ignore.<br /> From thereon, we used our lunch breaks and any free time we could muster to screw each other senseless. After each encounter, we'd say it was the last time , but that never happened as soon after I took trips when he did or he came to my apartment before going home.<br /> All this time, I gave Kayan a million excuses as to why we couldn't meet up, continued planning her wedding virtually and offered excuses when she whined about Dimitri being overly consumed by work.<br /> I even ended things with my own boyfriend as our relationship became strained and miserable because of my infidelity.<br /> Now this is the endgame, I lost my best friend who always stood by me and I'm pretty sure Dimitri and I have no future.<br /> Sitting on the stairs, I decided to take a leap of faith and call Kayan. If I could just get her to listen to me for a second, I would tell her how sorry I am and try to fix things.<br /> As I dialed her number, it went directly to voice-mail, and after trying a few more times unsuccessfully, I decided to go see her. I ordered an Uber, waiting outside for a few minutes before the car pulled up.<br /> I got in, gave the driver her address and stared blankly out the window. The only sounds were that of the music playing in the dashboard.<br /> Ten minutes later, I was standing on the curb outside Kayan's townhouse. Hesitantly, I opened the gate, trudged up the steps and rang the bell. I was there waiting for a few minutes, I called her but there was no response.<br /> I walked to the garden by the lamp post where she always hid a spare key. It was gone.<br /> Just as I was about to step from the yard, I was stopped in my tracks by a faint voice. My hopes increased but when I turned around expecting Kayan, no one was there.<br /> What was that then, I thought to myself.<br /> I reopened the Uber app, placed my request and waited by the curb.<br /> "She's not here you know." I was startled by the voice and was relieved to see her neighbor Michael.<br /> "What do you mean? Where is she?" I asked hurriedly.<br /> He eyed me suspiciously before replying,<br /> "Seeing you here looking like poop tells me you had a role in Kay's sudden departure 2 hours ago." His words were true yet hurtful, I castedmy eyes down in shame.<br /> "You don't know, Mike, just tell me where she went, I need to talk to her before it's too late" I begged him.<br /> The prick was nonchalant as he leant against her gate typing away on his phone. After getting a ping, indicating a message, he looked up at me smirking.<br /> "Well if you must know, my girl left for England indefinitely..." he paused, struggling to hold back a snicker, "...Oh and she says you should go yourself or Dimatro, whatever the pretty boy's name is." Michael was now clutching his side laughing hysterically while I sighed in defeat.<br /> She's gone! And now there's no way I will find her because I can't go to her family and I'm pretty sure she's already changed her number!<br /> I didn't warrant Michael a response since the Uber pulled up, I hopped in and left.<br /> My phone began vibrating in my pocket and I grabbed it quickly, just hoping it would be Kayan. I was disappointed as Dimitri's name flashed on the screen.<br /> "What do you want Dimitri? Haven't we done enough, didn't you hear what your father said?" I shouted angrily, catching sight of the driver's raised brows in the rear view mirror.<br /> "Calm down Mari, I wanted to apologize for my Dad. I'm getting discharged now so I'm heading home, I need to sort things out with Kay." Though I had wanted the same thing minutes ago, I couldn't help the pang of jealousy that gripped me.<br /> Before I could stop myself I snarled in response<br /> "Thanks for asking how I'm doing you prick! Oh and don't bother going there because she's gone!"<br /> "What are you talking about Mari! This is not the time to joke with me..." I'd had enough of his nonsense so I cut him mid sentence " Kay's gone Dimitri, I just left the house, she's not home and her neighbor says she left for England." The other end of the line was silent.<br /> I looked at the screen to see if the call had been disconnected but the line was still open.<br /> "Dimitri?" He sighed in response and I heard him grunt in pain, perhaps moving too quickly on his injured leg.<br /> "I'm here Mari. How will I fix things if I don't know where to find her? Of all the places, she had to chose England!? Couldn't she have just gone to her parents? What am I going to do now?"<br /> I wanted to speak but my throat felt as if it was clogged.<br /> I cut the call, switched to airplane mode and rested my head against the window as fresh salty tears rolled down my cheeks.<br /> I lost everything.<br /> My best friend. Dimitri . And a family who accepted me without judgement and showed me nothing but love all these years. | Wha002 | 29 | https://facebook.com/61554783541379 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | 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. | Lov002 | 57 | https://facebook.com/100092720766465 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

You won't talk to me, and every time I get close to you, you scurry away." He put his hands in his pockets.<br /> "Christian, there is nothing to talk about. I don't have time for your gibberish. Don't you have other girls to bother? What can you possibly talk to me about? !" I was losing my cool.<br /> "Natalie, I like you a lot." His eyes were getting dark. That look, there it was again. Desire? "CHRISTIAN!" I yelled. "Spit it out now! What did you come here fโ" Before I could finish my statement, he slammed his lips on me.<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> ~Christian's POV~<br /> Last night I heard my parents talking about Natalie coming home. I knew they were talking about Natalie Adams, the one girl who was untouchable or unapproachable. That vixen thought she was hiding in the shadows but I saw her.<br /> The thing is that she didn't realize how badly guys wanted her. Even if they came up to her it was funny because she would stare at them like they were stupid and her resting b-face said it all. She didn't even have to respond, and because of that they never approached her again. Talk about painted black. I think that was the color of her soul.<br /> The girl was beyond gorgeous. Every time she walked in a classroom or the cafeteria, her dark and mysterious demeanor attracted anyone. She would never know, because when you saw her with her earbuds on, it's as if Natalie was always in her own world.<br /> I wonder where she goes every summer because I never saw her around the pack when school was finished. I was thinking about asking my parents, but that will have to wait.<br /> I was always surrounded or being approached by girls, it never failed. I've slept around and I wasn't ashamed of it because I am an Alpha and an Alpha needs that release. I did have an ex-girlfriend that seemed to not know the meaning of "ex". Elle was always around when I needed an easy contact.<br /> She was Zeo Wilson's sister, our future beta, and was captain of the cheerleader squad. This girl would sometimes scare the other girls away and acted like she owned me. The girl is hot but has a nasty attitude and thinks highly of herself. No shame whatsoever.<br /> Natalie, however, she was the one girl I was profoundly attracted to. I wanted to feel and taste her. She had this strong aura around her and that confused me because I know her parents are warriors, but there was this ambience about her that made me want her more than any other she wolf. Just maybe, maybe she could be my fated mate.<br /> I went on Instagram and just like I assumed, she has her account in private, so you can only see her profile picture. It was a set of earbuds on top of a book in black and white. This girl was fascinating. I wanted to know her so badlyโฆall of her.<br /> I mean come on, who wouldn't want a piece of me. I'm 6 '6, muscular, I have the lightest gray eyes with dirty blonde hair, medium on the top and short sides. I'm every girl's wet dream. I've been told I look like the younger version of Christopher Egan. I'm better looking though.<br /> So I did what I have never done with any other girl. I sent her a friend request on Instagram. "Now the waiting game begins."<br /> ~Natalie POV~<br /> "Pfffsh, no!" He may be attractive, and I won't deny it. After all, I am a girl, and the guy is hot. Every girl may go crazy for him and desire him, but not me. He's a scumbag. His cocky disposition said it all.<br /> He sleeps with anything that has a hole. It's like a stray dog, leave it alone, you don't know where it's been. 'He probably has STDs or something, not to mention where his mouth has been,' Zoe said in disgust. Can't disagree. I know we may be exaggerating, but Christian's been around with almost every chic in that school.<br /> ~<br /> I was already running for 20 minutes, when I sensed another wolf running too. 'A warrior on security watch?' No. My wolf Jasper sensed it was a girl. As I got closer, I smirked. 'Well, well, lookie who it is.' I told Jaz, a shorter name for my wolf.<br /> I knew I would get to her first before she sensed us because Alpha's have stronger abilities than all other wolves.<br /> 'Lucky us. I am fond of this one, Chris.' Jaz said. 'Well let's go say hello, maybe we'll get lucky to allure her.' I said cockily.<br /> As we got closer, she turned around in defensive mode. 'That was odd.'<br /> "What, Christian! What are you trying to do? Give me a heart attack numb nuts!" She said, trying to catch her breath.<br /> I started to laugh, "Woah baby, no need to go in attack mode andโฆnumb nuts?" I said, raising an eyebrow looking offended with her word choice of insult. She was fiery, and her voice sounded hot.<br /> "Yeahโฆwellโฆyou should never sneak up on anyone running ALPHA!" She said angrily.<br /> Every time she spoke, my shaft twitched, and this time, I stepped closer. I smirked and licked my bottom lip. "Nat, you don't have to call me Alpha, just Christian or Chris for short." She noticed the action.<br /> She raised an eyebrow, "OkayโฆChristianโฆbut you will have to call me Natalie. Only my close friends and my parents call me Nat. What are you doing here? Were you stalking me? You know better than anyone never to sneak up on someone like that unless you're looking for a hip whooping," She spat. "You know how rogues don't follow rules and are ruthless killers!"<br /> "Wait, stalking! No, I was out for a run today. Why did you say it like thatโฆwaitโฆunless you saw the friend request." I said, dismissing the rogue statement.<br /> "Pleaseโฆyeah I saw it. Now that you bring it upโฆno." She simply said.<br /> "Noโฆ" I said, looking dumb founded.<br /> "We are not friends, and you have never spoken a word to me, Christian. What did you expect? It would be like you invading my personal space!"<br /> "Speaking of personal space, back off, you keep coming closer, dude." She looked pissed and was already fisting up her hands.<br /> "Shorty, why do you have to be so angry? It's just a friend request, and it's not just from anyone, but from your future Alpha," I chuckled. "Sweetheart, you make it difficult to get near you. In that case, let me get to know you better, Natalie. It's never too late." Now biting my lower lip.<br /> As I got closer, she kept backing up until she hit a tree. I leaned to her face, and I could smell the vanilla scent in her hair. She smelled good. I wanted to peck her badly. But that thought disappeared when I suddenly felt pain down south. 'Did she just hit my balls!' I went down on one knee holding my pair to soothe them.<br /> "Don't for one, think, I am attracted to you or treat me like those other girls you have luring around. I am nothing like them. Never invade my personal space. You may be my Alpha soon, but even the Alpha has to respect his pack members." She looked down on me and if I wasn't more attracted to her than ever.<br /> She was beautiful. 'Chris, mate or not, we want her!' Jaz said, and I couldn't agree more. ' She definitely is unique, Jaz, one of a kind. ' I said as I saw her curvy body making her way back home. My hands ached to touch her.<br /> 'The nerve of that fool' I told Zo. 'Did you see how he was licking his lips like if I was a piece of meat,' I said, all pissed off. 'He was sniffing my hair too! Creep!'<br /> 'You sure kicked him hard, girlie! If I could hi-five you, I would, so I'll do it mentally' she snickered. 'He is cute, though Natie. The guy has muscle. I wouldn't mind seeing his wolf Jasper.' Zoe said.<br /> Ughโฆmaybe so, but he is too arrogant and cocky. Zoe kinda caught me off guard with that comment, though. Traitor.<br /> I ran fast, heading home. So much for a quiet and peaceful run. I got home showered and changed. My parents weren't home. I noticed it was past 9, so I called Evie.<br /> "Good morning Natie! I woke up at 9 thinking you weren't kidding on calling me, but to my surprise, you didn't call on time. That's not you, Nat." She said, concerned.<br /> "Evie, you will never believe what happened to me. Come over so we can talk and head out!"<br /> _____________________<br /> "No freaking way! What are you for reals? ! Christian!" Evie's mouth was wide open.<br /> "The devil in the flesh Ev's!" I told her. I explained what happened this morning about receiving his friend request and what happened on my run, almost scaring the pee out of me by sneaking up on me. The way he caged me by a tree and how he was acting weird, like trying to make a move on me.<br /> "Nat, Christian has the hots for you." She said in a teasing voice. Christian is not a one woman man. "Ev's, no dude. Honestly, there is only one guy that I really would like to know andโฆugh," I said, now feeling a little sad.<br /> "Who! ? Ivan Carter? ! He is an attractive one, buddy."<br /> Ivan Carter belongs to another pack, the Midnight Pack. He is the son of Alpha Easton Carter. He also attends the academy, and every time I sneak a peek at him, my body reacts to him. I've touched myself just thinking about him.<br /> 'You ain't lying Nat, he's a total package.' Zoe said breathlessly.<br /> 'Okay make up your mind! ? I chucked.<br /> I have never gotten close to him or talked to him. Well it's my fault, actually. I don't like getting close to anyone, and I was scared that he didn't feel the same way. I can't get my hopes up anyway. He's meant to be an Alpha. We shouldn't really mess with Alphas either way. I've heard Alpha's can choose their mates as well, but a true fated mate can make a strong heir.<br /> He also has this chic that is always around him, Camila Ares. She is next in line for Gamma in his pack. She is always with or on him. She freaking irritates me.<br /> 'He doesn't look interested in her, but they are always together. Well him and his click.' Zoe putting her two cents in. 'Yup,' I sighed.<br /> "Evie, do you think this year will be different? I don't know if I'm ready to see who I'm mated to." I can't believe I sound so down. I mentally slapped myself, I got up and shook off all of those unwanted emotions and thoughts.<br /> I'm scared of these feelings I have for Ivan, only to be hurt if he's mated with someone else, which probably will happen. I have to do something fast and stop whatever this is before I get a broken heart.<br /> "Nat, you're gorgeous, and anyone mated to you will be lucky as heck because you are one of a kind! To answer your question, yes! This is our year!" She leaned over and gave me a big hug.<br /> "You're gorgeous too, buddy. Anyone would be lucky to have you as a mate. I'll kick your mate's hip if he thinks otherwise. I got your back, babe!"<br /> We got up and headed for my car. My parents had gotten me a used Red, fourth generation Camaro from 2004, on my 16th birthday. I love my car.<br /> I rammed my engine and headed to town.<br /> ~Ivan's POV~<br /> "Alpha Ivan! Hey, earth to Alpha!" Jerry hollered. "I'm right next to you idiot" I growled. "Put me on the spot, why don't you."<br /> Jerry Scott is my Delta, and he's already taking charge since his father stepped down. He is the head warrior and trains our pack members.<br /> Training is about to start, and we are about to spar each other.<br /> I will soon become Alpha of the Midnight Pack. At the age of 18, the current Alpha, my father, Easton Carter, will step down, and I will claim my place as Alpha.<br /> I got distracted with my thoughts. In a few weeks I'll be going back to school at the Blue Moon Academy. It's our last year, and I'm anxious, though. There's this girl that has been on my mind rent-free. I haven't made the effort to talk to her. It seems she's not the talkative kind and brushes anyone away.<br /> This year will be different. I will make the initiative to get closer to her. I'm all giddy just thinking about her. When I think about her face, her hair, and her body, I get turned on. Natalie Adams makes me feel things I've never felt for anyone.<br /> Striker, my wolf puts these images in my head of us sleeping. 'There is something about this girl Ivan, that when I see her, it makes me go crazy, she belongs to us. That aura around her when she is pissed is captivating?' Striker says calmly.<br /> It's not common when a person's wolf feels infatuated with a certain person who is not their mate. I've heard that Alpha's get signs if a girl belongs to them, but we haven't been too close to her to sense any of those signs. Honestly, I wouldn't even know the signs if they were there.<br /> Just watching her from afar has been enough for us both these past years. But it's time to change that because just looking at her is not sufficient anymore. We need and want more of her.<br /> However, he's right. We've seen people piss her off from a distance. She doesn't show emotion like other girls, but when she is angry, her aura is strong, and with that, she scares them off. She's fierce.<br /> Her demeanor says it all. I can't put my finger on it. Only wolves with high rankings have that type of aura that demands respect and obedience.<br /> But if I am correct, her parents are warriors from Christian's pack. Soโฆit can't be possible. Werewolves take their rankings seriously. Well, most of us. That's just the way it should be. Your destined mate and you should make a strong heir.<br /> It also irks me of the fact that Christian has had his eyes on her. It sucks that she is from his pack. You can see the gleam in his eyes when she walks into the lunchroom. My wolf wants to peek out and claw his eyes out each time. Arrogant nutsack.<br /> 'That's true. Should we do a bit of research regarding her family line?' Striker eagerly says. 'Yeah, maybe we should. Just maybe there is something more to her, and by luck, we could have a chance to be mated to her.' With that thought, I couldn't help but smile.<br /> You may ask, what is it about this girl that makes her so interesting? Well, she is definitely not like the girls at school or my pack. She is attractive, and that fierce, mysterious, emotionless demeanor she gives out makes her so alluring. Makes you curious about her personality and what she thinks. This girl attracts unwanted attention without even trying.<br /> All other girls yearn for that attention and throw themselves at guys, but not her. She also doesn't give any guy her undivided attention. It's like no one exists around her. She is in her own world.<br /> "Ay, what's that on your face! Are you smiling? Wipe that off Alpha, ain't nobody got time for that when you're about to get a beat down." Jerry says laughing.<br /> โฆand just like that, my face is emotionless.<br /> 'Alright, you got jokes!' I scowl. Turning around, I yelled, "BEGIN!"<br /> _________<br /> After our training, I headed to the pack house. As I open the front door and head to the stairs, I hear footsteps behind me, and someone jumps on my back. I knew it was Camila because of her scent. It's too flowery and strong for my liking. Striker growls.<br /> Everyone thinks that we are together, but that is far from the truth. We are friends with benefits. I don't feel anything for her, honestly. Striker gets pissed off. He dislikes her scent and voice.<br /> He only accepts it if we imagine Natalie beneath us.<br /> "Get off me, Camila! I'm your Alpha!" I yelled. She flinched and quickly got off. I already do Alpha affairs as I'm slowly transitioning into the labors of a true leader. I take my job seriously because leading is what I do best.<br /> "What's wrong baby, you've been distant lately? You don't want me anymore? You haven't invited me up to your room. It's been weeks now, Ivan." She said, with her whiny voice.<br /> Striker snapped, 'She better remember her place, Ivan! It's Alpha to this bimbo!'<br /> I palm my face. "ALPHA! ALPHA IVANโฆCAMILA! ! ! Don't forget my title and don't forget your place." I growled. I was being a scumbag.<br /> Don't get me wrong, Camila is hot. She is 5'8 taller than most girls, with chocolate brown hair. She has these pretty hazel orbs. However, she has an ugly attitude, especially with girls that get close to me. I can't stand that. I may have slept with her a couple of times, but I feel nothing for her. She is not Natalie.<br /> ~<br /> "What's up Ivan, you rang! ?" Pointing at his head trying to be funny.<br /> Jerry, Axel, and Camila are allowed to call me Ivan without using my title. Especially if we are alone or having a group conversation with just the four of us.<br /> However, Camila has been irritating me lately. I may have acted like a scumbag but I have to somehow hammer it in her head that we are not a thing.<br /> I said this before, but I take my position seriously. Being a leader is a serious matter and the decisions I make can have a life or death impact on my pack.<br /> From here forward, she will have to understand that I can not condone that type of disrespect especially if we are not together. I allowed it in my bedroom but now, things have changed. She also has to take her position seriously. If and when I find my Luna, she will be the one to be protecting her. That's the role of a Gamma.<br /> "Yup, I got a mission for you. But this is low key." I said glaring at him.<br /> "Okay, whatcha got? !" Jerry said now sounding excited.<br /> "You remember Natalie Adams from the academy? From Christian's Pack." I asked.<br /> "Yeahโฆwho doesn't! She's freaking hot!" He sheepishly replied.<br /> "Watch it! I want you to look into her family background," I said possessively.<br /> He covered his mouth and jokingly said, "Whaaaโฆ? !" I pinched the bridge of my nose and furrowed my brows. "Well can you or can you not! ?" sounding bothered now.<br /> He chuckled, "Of course I can, anything for you bro. Is there something I should be concerned about though or something I am looking for in specific?"<br /> "Have you ever noticed the aura she gives out at times? I sense power and strength like if she comes from a higher rank, but her parents are warriors," I calmly said. It may not be a big deal but I'm curious now.<br /> "I just think there's more than meets the eye with her," I wasn't lying. "She is so different. It's like Camila, she's a Gamma because of her dad, but Natalie seems to be stronger than a Gamma if you get my drift."<br /> "Ah, okay, okay, I get it. I'll get to it. You don't have to explainโฆit makes sense," he said. "This can not leave this room. This is between you and me," I said, trusting him.<br /> The less people know what I do, the better. It may be stupid to others but for me, this is imperative.<br /> "Got it!" Jerry said leaving the room. Jerry is my best tracker and hacker when it comes to technology. He is a genius, very observant, and fast. That is why he is our Delta. | Cra0001 | 35 | https://facebook.com/100091661543152 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

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. 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.

You won't talk to me, and every time I get close to you, you scurry away." He put his hands in his pockets.<br /> "Christian, there is nothing to talk about. I don't have time for your gibberish. Don't you have other girls to bother? What can you possibly talk to me about? !" I was losing my cool.<br /> "Natalie, I like you a lot." His eyes were getting dark. That look, there it was again. Desire? "CHRISTIAN!" I yelled. "Spit it out now! What did you come here fโ" Before I could finish my statement, he slammed his lips on me.<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> ~Christian's POV~<br /> Last night I heard my parents talking about Natalie coming home. I knew they were talking about Natalie Adams, the one girl who was untouchable or unapproachable. That vixen thought she was hiding in the shadows but I saw her.<br /> The thing is that she didn't realize how badly guys wanted her. Even if they came up to her it was funny because she would stare at them like they were stupid and her resting b-face said it all. She didn't even have to respond, and because of that they never approached her again. Talk about painted black. I think that was the color of her soul.<br /> The girl was beyond gorgeous. Every time she walked in a classroom or the cafeteria, her dark and mysterious demeanor attracted anyone. She would never know, because when you saw her with her earbuds on, it's as if Natalie was always in her own world.<br /> I wonder where she goes every summer because I never saw her around the pack when school was finished. I was thinking about asking my parents, but that will have to wait.<br /> I was always surrounded or being approached by girls, it never failed. I've slept around and I wasn't ashamed of it because I am an Alpha and an Alpha needs that release. I did have an ex-girlfriend that seemed to not know the meaning of "ex". Elle was always around when I needed an easy contact.<br /> She was Zeo Wilson's sister, our future beta, and was captain of the cheerleader squad. This girl would sometimes scare the other girls away and acted like she owned me. The girl is hot but has a nasty attitude and thinks highly of herself. No shame whatsoever.<br /> Natalie, however, she was the one girl I was profoundly attracted to. I wanted to feel and taste her. She had this strong aura around her and that confused me because I know her parents are warriors, but there was this ambience about her that made me want her more than any other she wolf. Just maybe, maybe she could be my fated mate.<br /> I went on Instagram and just like I assumed, she has her account in private, so you can only see her profile picture. It was a set of earbuds on top of a book in black and white. This girl was fascinating. I wanted to know her so badlyโฆall of her.<br /> I mean come on, who wouldn't want a piece of me. I'm 6 '6, muscular, I have the lightest gray eyes with dirty blonde hair, medium on the top and short sides. I'm every girl's wet dream. I've been told I look like the younger version of Christopher Egan. I'm better looking though.<br /> So I did what I have never done with any other girl. I sent her a friend request on Instagram. "Now the waiting game begins."<br /> ~Natalie POV~<br /> "Pfffsh, no!" He may be attractive, and I won't deny it. After all, I am a girl, and the guy is hot. Every girl may go crazy for him and desire him, but not me. He's a scumbag. His cocky disposition said it all.<br /> He sleeps with anything that has a hole. It's like a stray dog, leave it alone, you don't know where it's been. 'He probably has STDs or something, not to mention where his mouth has been,' Zoe said in disgust. Can't disagree. I know we may be exaggerating, but Christian's been around with almost every chic in that school.<br /> ~<br /> I was already running for 20 minutes, when I sensed another wolf running too. 'A warrior on security watch?' No. My wolf Jasper sensed it was a girl. As I got closer, I smirked. 'Well, well, lookie who it is.' I told Jaz, a shorter name for my wolf.<br /> I knew I would get to her first before she sensed us because Alpha's have stronger abilities than all other wolves.<br /> 'Lucky us. I am fond of this one, Chris.' Jaz said. 'Well let's go say hello, maybe we'll get lucky to allure her.' I said cockily.<br /> As we got closer, she turned around in defensive mode. 'That was odd.'<br /> "What, Christian! What are you trying to do? Give me a heart attack numb nuts!" She said, trying to catch her breath.<br /> I started to laugh, "Woah baby, no need to go in attack mode andโฆnumb nuts?" I said, raising an eyebrow looking offended with her word choice of insult. She was fiery, and her voice sounded hot.<br /> "Yeahโฆwellโฆyou should never sneak up on anyone running ALPHA!" She said angrily.<br /> Every time she spoke, my shaft twitched, and this time, I stepped closer. I smirked and licked my bottom lip. "Nat, you don't have to call me Alpha, just Christian or Chris for short." She noticed the action.<br /> She raised an eyebrow, "OkayโฆChristianโฆbut you will have to call me Natalie. Only my close friends and my parents call me Nat. What are you doing here? Were you stalking me? You know better than anyone never to sneak up on someone like that unless you're looking for a hip whooping," She spat. "You know how rogues don't follow rules and are ruthless killers!"<br /> "Wait, stalking! No, I was out for a run today. Why did you say it like thatโฆwaitโฆunless you saw the friend request." I said, dismissing the rogue statement.<br /> "Pleaseโฆyeah I saw it. Now that you bring it upโฆno." She simply said.<br /> "Noโฆ" I said, looking dumb founded.<br /> "We are not friends, and you have never spoken a word to me, Christian. What did you expect? It would be like you invading my personal space!"<br /> "Speaking of personal space, back off, you keep coming closer, dude." She looked pissed and was already fisting up her hands.<br /> "Shorty, why do you have to be so angry? It's just a friend request, and it's not just from anyone, but from your future Alpha," I chuckled. "Sweetheart, you make it difficult to get near you. In that case, let me get to know you better, Natalie. It's never too late." Now biting my lower lip.<br /> As I got closer, she kept backing up until she hit a tree. I leaned to her face, and I could smell the vanilla scent in her hair. She smelled good. I wanted to peck her badly. But that thought disappeared when I suddenly felt pain down south. 'Did she just hit my balls!' I went down on one knee holding my pair to soothe them.<br /> "Don't for one, think, I am attracted to you or treat me like those other girls you have luring around. I am nothing like them. Never invade my personal space. You may be my Alpha soon, but even the Alpha has to respect his pack members." She looked down on me and if I wasn't more attracted to her than ever.<br /> She was beautiful. 'Chris, mate or not, we want her!' Jaz said, and I couldn't agree more. ' She definitely is unique, Jaz, one of a kind. ' I said as I saw her curvy body making her way back home. My hands ached to touch her.<br /> 'The nerve of that fool' I told Zo. 'Did you see how he was licking his lips like if I was a piece of meat,' I said, all pissed off. 'He was sniffing my hair too! Creep!'<br /> 'You sure kicked him hard, girlie! If I could hi-five you, I would, so I'll do it mentally' she snickered. 'He is cute, though Natie. The guy has muscle. I wouldn't mind seeing his wolf Jasper.' Zoe said.<br /> Ughโฆmaybe so, but he is too arrogant and cocky. Zoe kinda caught me off guard with that comment, though. Traitor.<br /> I ran fast, heading home. So much for a quiet and peaceful run. I got home showered and changed. My parents weren't home. I noticed it was past 9, so I called Evie.<br /> "Good morning Natie! I woke up at 9 thinking you weren't kidding on calling me, but to my surprise, you didn't call on time. That's not you, Nat." She said, concerned.<br /> "Evie, you will never believe what happened to me. Come over so we can talk and head out!"<br /> _____________________<br /> "No freaking way! What are you for reals? ! Christian!" Evie's mouth was wide open.<br /> "The devil in the flesh Ev's!" I told her. I explained what happened this morning about receiving his friend request and what happened on my run, almost scaring the pee out of me by sneaking up on me. The way he caged me by a tree and how he was acting weird, like trying to make a move on me.<br /> "Nat, Christian has the hots for you." She said in a teasing voice. Christian is not a one woman man. "Ev's, no dude. Honestly, there is only one guy that I really would like to know andโฆugh," I said, now feeling a little sad.<br /> "Who! ? Ivan Carter? ! He is an attractive one, buddy."<br /> Ivan Carter belongs to another pack, the Midnight Pack. He is the son of Alpha Easton Carter. He also attends the academy, and every time I sneak a peek at him, my body reacts to him. I've touched myself just thinking about him.<br /> 'You ain't lying Nat, he's a total package.' Zoe said breathlessly.<br /> 'Okay make up your mind! ? I chucked.<br /> I have never gotten close to him or talked to him. Well it's my fault, actually. I don't like getting close to anyone, and I was scared that he didn't feel the same way. I can't get my hopes up anyway. He's meant to be an Alpha. We shouldn't really mess with Alphas either way. I've heard Alpha's can choose their mates as well, but a true fated mate can make a strong heir.<br /> He also has this chic that is always around him, Camila Ares. She is next in line for Gamma in his pack. She is always with or on him. She freaking irritates me.<br /> 'He doesn't look interested in her, but they are always together. Well him and his click.' Zoe putting her two cents in. 'Yup,' I sighed.<br /> "Evie, do you think this year will be different? I don't know if I'm ready to see who I'm mated to." I can't believe I sound so down. I mentally slapped myself, I got up and shook off all of those unwanted emotions and thoughts.<br /> I'm scared of these feelings I have for Ivan, only to be hurt if he's mated with someone else, which probably will happen. I have to do something fast and stop whatever this is before I get a broken heart.<br /> "Nat, you're gorgeous, and anyone mated to you will be lucky as heck because you are one of a kind! To answer your question, yes! This is our year!" She leaned over and gave me a big hug.<br /> "You're gorgeous too, buddy. Anyone would be lucky to have you as a mate. I'll kick your mate's hip if he thinks otherwise. I got your back, babe!"<br /> We got up and headed for my car. My parents had gotten me a used Red, fourth generation Camaro from 2004, on my 16th birthday. I love my car.<br /> I rammed my engine and headed to town.<br /> ~Ivan's POV~<br /> "Alpha Ivan! Hey, earth to Alpha!" Jerry hollered. "I'm right next to you idiot" I growled. "Put me on the spot, why don't you."<br /> Jerry Scott is my Delta, and he's already taking charge since his father stepped down. He is the head warrior and trains our pack members.<br /> Training is about to start, and we are about to spar each other.<br /> I will soon become Alpha of the Midnight Pack. At the age of 18, the current Alpha, my father, Easton Carter, will step down, and I will claim my place as Alpha.<br /> I got distracted with my thoughts. In a few weeks I'll be going back to school at the Blue Moon Academy. It's our last year, and I'm anxious, though. There's this girl that has been on my mind rent-free. I haven't made the effort to talk to her. It seems she's not the talkative kind and brushes anyone away.<br /> This year will be different. I will make the initiative to get closer to her. I'm all giddy just thinking about her. When I think about her face, her hair, and her body, I get turned on. Natalie Adams makes me feel things I've never felt for anyone.<br /> Striker, my wolf puts these images in my head of us sleeping. 'There is something about this girl Ivan, that when I see her, it makes me go crazy, she belongs to us. That aura around her when she is pissed is captivating?' Striker says calmly.<br /> It's not common when a person's wolf feels infatuated with a certain person who is not their mate. I've heard that Alpha's get signs if a girl belongs to them, but we haven't been too close to her to sense any of those signs. Honestly, I wouldn't even know the signs if they were there.<br /> Just watching her from afar has been enough for us both these past years. But it's time to change that because just looking at her is not sufficient anymore. We need and want more of her.<br /> However, he's right. We've seen people piss her off from a distance. She doesn't show emotion like other girls, but when she is angry, her aura is strong, and with that, she scares them off. She's fierce.<br /> Her demeanor says it all. I can't put my finger on it. Only wolves with high rankings have that type of aura that demands respect and obedience.<br /> But if I am correct, her parents are warriors from Christian's pack. Soโฆit can't be possible. Werewolves take their rankings seriously. Well, most of us. That's just the way it should be. Your destined mate and you should make a strong heir.<br /> It also irks me of the fact that Christian has had his eyes on her. It sucks that she is from his pack. You can see the gleam in his eyes when she walks into the lunchroom. My wolf wants to peek out and claw his eyes out each time. Arrogant nutsack.<br /> 'That's true. Should we do a bit of research regarding her family line?' Striker eagerly says. 'Yeah, maybe we should. Just maybe there is something more to her, and by luck, we could have a chance to be mated to her.' With that thought, I couldn't help but smile.<br /> You may ask, what is it about this girl that makes her so interesting? Well, she is definitely not like the girls at school or my pack. She is attractive, and that fierce, mysterious, emotionless demeanor she gives out makes her so alluring. Makes you curious about her personality and what she thinks. This girl attracts unwanted attention without even trying.<br /> All other girls yearn for that attention and throw themselves at guys, but not her. She also doesn't give any guy her undivided attention. It's like no one exists around her. She is in her own world.<br /> "Ay, what's that on your face! Are you smiling? Wipe that off Alpha, ain't nobody got time for that when you're about to get a beat down." Jerry says laughing.<br /> โฆand just like that, my face is emotionless.<br /> 'Alright, you got jokes!' I scowl. Turning around, I yelled, "BEGIN!"<br /> _________<br /> After our training, I headed to the pack house. As I open the front door and head to the stairs, I hear footsteps behind me, and someone jumps on my back. I knew it was Camila because of her scent. It's too flowery and strong for my liking. Striker growls.<br /> Everyone thinks that we are together, but that is far from the truth. We are friends with benefits. I don't feel anything for her, honestly. Striker gets pissed off. He dislikes her scent and voice.<br /> He only accepts it if we imagine Natalie beneath us.<br /> "Get off me, Camila! I'm your Alpha!" I yelled. She flinched and quickly got off. I already do Alpha affairs as I'm slowly transitioning into the labors of a true leader. I take my job seriously because leading is what I do best.<br /> "What's wrong baby, you've been distant lately? You don't want me anymore? You haven't invited me up to your room. It's been weeks now, Ivan." She said, with her whiny voice.<br /> Striker snapped, 'She better remember her place, Ivan! It's Alpha to this bimbo!'<br /> I palm my face. "ALPHA! ALPHA IVANโฆCAMILA! ! ! Don't forget my title and don't forget your place." I growled. I was being a scumbag.<br /> Don't get me wrong, Camila is hot. She is 5'8 taller than most girls, with chocolate brown hair. She has these pretty hazel orbs. However, she has an ugly attitude, especially with girls that get close to me. I can't stand that. I may have slept with her a couple of times, but I feel nothing for her. She is not Natalie.<br /> ~<br /> "What's up Ivan, you rang! ?" Pointing at his head trying to be funny.<br /> Jerry, Axel, and Camila are allowed to call me Ivan without using my title. Especially if we are alone or having a group conversation with just the four of us.<br /> However, Camila has been irritating me lately. I may have acted like a scumbag but I have to somehow hammer it in her head that we are not a thing.<br /> I said this before, but I take my position seriously. Being a leader is a serious matter and the decisions I make can have a life or death impact on my pack.<br /> From here forward, she will have to understand that I can not condone that type of disrespect especially if we are not together. I allowed it in my bedroom but now, things have changed. She also has to take her position seriously. If and when I find my Luna, she will be the one to be protecting her. That's the role of a Gamma.<br /> "Yup, I got a mission for you. But this is low key." I said glaring at him.<br /> "Okay, whatcha got? !" Jerry said now sounding excited.<br /> "You remember Natalie Adams from the academy? From Christian's Pack." I asked.<br /> "Yeahโฆwho doesn't! She's freaking hot!" He sheepishly replied.<br /> "Watch it! I want you to look into her family background," I said possessively.<br /> He covered his mouth and jokingly said, "Whaaaโฆ? !" I pinched the bridge of my nose and furrowed my brows. "Well can you or can you not! ?" sounding bothered now.<br /> He chuckled, "Of course I can, anything for you bro. Is there something I should be concerned about though or something I am looking for in specific?"<br /> "Have you ever noticed the aura she gives out at times? I sense power and strength like if she comes from a higher rank, but her parents are warriors," I calmly said. It may not be a big deal but I'm curious now.<br /> "I just think there's more than meets the eye with her," I wasn't lying. "She is so different. It's like Camila, she's a Gamma because of her dad, but Natalie seems to be stronger than a Gamma if you get my drift."<br /> "Ah, okay, okay, I get it. I'll get to it. You don't have to explainโฆit makes sense," he said. "This can not leave this room. This is between you and me," I said, trusting him.<br /> The less people know what I do, the better. It may be stupid to others but for me, this is imperative.<br /> "Got it!" Jerry said leaving the room. Jerry is my best tracker and hacker when it comes to technology. He is a genius, very observant, and fast. That is why he is our Delta. | Cra0001 | 35 | https://facebook.com/100091661543152 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Kayan<br /> I was betrayed by two people I trusted implicitly, my best friend and my fiancรฉ, or so i thought.<br /> Without saying a word, I bent down and picked up my phone. By this time Dimitri had donned his boxers and his slim fit navy dress pants. Mariana on the other hand was gripping the white sheet, trying to cover her body and was sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> Normally her tears would have stirred some sort of emotion but I felt absolutely nothing looking at her.<br /> Dimitri stepped towards me with his outstretched hand but I stepped back, and when I spoke my own voice surprised me.<br /> Two words, " How long?". I stared at both of them expectantly. Dimitri sighed and rubbed his face, looking at me with regret.<br /> When no response was forthcoming from him, I turned to Mariana and pinned her with a glare. " Shut up Mariana! I asked a question and I need an answer now!" I shouted.<br /> She pulled her knees to her chest as her body shook in fear, she had only seen me angry once so she knew not to taunt me. Dimitri on the other hand, was stunned.<br /> She looked at me and stuttered in fear " S....si...six months", and hung her head low. I absorbed her reply, laughed hysterically, which caught both of them by surprise. They looked at each other shrugging their shoulders and just as I started laughing suddenly, I stopped abruptly.<br /> "Six months you say? I guess this is the part where you'll say it was a mistake, you never meant to hurt me and you're both sorry right?." I spoke calmly, surprising myself.<br /> Dimitri was first to speak " Kay, please I'm so sorry. We were both tipsy after your work anniversary party,and after I dropped her off, everything went to terrible. I'm so sorry baby but..." I laughed again, cutting him off mid sentence.<br /> I held my hand up then turned to Mariana" What about you bimbo, any last words?" Her eyes bulged in fear and I watched her squirm in fear. She knew I could put a bullet between her eyes even with my eyes closed , thanks to my Dad taking me to the pistol range every Saturday for 2 years.<br /> She sprung to her knees, the sheet fell exposing her and I saw all the hickeys along her neck and on her breasts. "Kay please, let's talk about this. I'm so sorry and I regret this. I'm so sorry for hurting you like this, it wasn't planned."<br /> The nerve of this woman, I thought. I should have listened to my gut all those months ago. She kept thwarting our plans, started traveling a lot and would barely take my video calls then. And she kept changing or bashing my wedding plans and like a fool, I brushed it aside.<br /> Dimitri was the same, one business trip after another, late nights and then he was distant. When I asked him about it, he promised to do better than what he did, but there was a subtle change. We no longer have sleep.<br /> Both of them looked at me expectantly, waiting for the weak, docile Kayan to shed tears and assure them everything would be okay.<br /> I dropped my phone into my bag, grabbed my pistol and clicked the safety off. I swiftly fired two rounds which were followed by agonizing screams. I shot Dimitri in his thigh just inches from his shaft while Mariana got hers in her right shoulder. Just enough to cause pain but not be fatal.<br /> I walked out the room but turned to them saying " That's for the betrayal, I never want to see or hear from either of you again. The next time you won't be so lucky."<br /> I descended the stairs shakily, I touched my face checking for tears but there were none. My chest was convulsing but I refused to give in to the pain I was feeling.<br /> As I got to the last step, I looked around, marched over to the fireplace and threw all photos she had of us together into it. I lifted the stoker, broke her 60" Samsung TV and everything went red from thereon. I trashed her apartment then walked out as if nothing happened.<br /> I grabbed my baseball bat from my trunk, smashed all her windows and doors. Just as I about to leave, I saw Dimitri's Silver Range Rover across the street.<br /> How didn't I notice it before?<br /> I walked up to it and repeated my actions. When I was satisfied, I hopped into my van and drove away.<br /> ---- <br /> Dimitri<br /> I couldn't believe Kayan shot us and simply walked away. I had known her for over 6 years but I never encountered this side of her. I knew I deserved that, worst of all, I ruined the one good thing I had done.<br /> I was thinking with my shaft and not my brain, because in assessing the current situation, Mariana was just a good woman. There is attraction, but the feelings I have for Kayan are deeper.<br /> Her sobs reverberated around the bedroom , bringing me back to the current situation.<br /> When Kayan left the room, I heard her trashing Mariana's apartment downstairs and was about to go after her.<br /> Mariana's words stopped me dead in my tracks, "Leave her be, Dimitri, she will kill you! She needs to calm down first before we approach her." I turned to her slowly, trying to ignore the pain and blood gushing from my wound.<br /> "What do you mean Mari? I'm going after her! There is no us. This was a mistake. I need to talk to her!" I ran my hands over my face then slid my belt around my leg making a tourniquet.<br /> She slid off the bed, gripping the sheet with her uninjured shoulder. " Take it from me, we're lucky to be alive! You have never seen her upset or know what she's capable of in this state but I do!" She tiptoed to the door listening for any further sound from downstairs, but was greeted with silence.<br /> Mariana sat on the stairs shaking and crying while gripping her disheveled hair.<br /> The front door was ajar, I moved to lock it but the sight of Mariana's car took my breath away. I looked across the street to mine and it looked even worst.<br /> I shook my head, sighed and turned too quickly, causing a searing pain in the bullet wound.<br /> I called my driver Michael and told him to be quick and discreet.<br /> Mariana got dressed in the meantime while we waited with bated breaths.<br /> Michael arrived in about 10 minutes, his eyes expressed shock but he knew better than to ask any questions.<br /> He drove us to Wyckoff Medical, the only place I knew would be discreet about what happened.<br /> Using the back entrance, we were quickly ushered into separate rooms for assessment.<br /> As I laid on the bed, I felt Dr. Green prodding my wound for the bullet. He's been our family physician since I was a child, so when he asked who I pissed off this time , I sighed and ignored him.<br /> All I could think about was Kayan, she was my everything!<br /> Not anymore you prick, you screwed up and you're lucky to be alive, I shook my head, trying to shake guilt ridden thoughts from my subconscious.<br /> I reminisced on all the times we spent together, the plans we made for our future and our kids. I reflected on how she supported me even when my own father doubted me. She never gave up on me. You shut up Dimitri!<br /> Dr. Green waved his hand above my eyes while calling my name. " Did you hear anything I said just now?" he asked quietly.<br /> I sighed " No, what is it?". My tone was clipped but right now I didn't care, I could apologize later.<br /> He rolled his eyes before continuing "I said there's a detective waiting outside to talk to you, you know it's my duty to report this." He grabbed a scissors and cut the thread, signaling that he had finished stitching my wound.<br /> "You'll live, but stay off your feet for a few days, and use a crutch if you have to move around." Dr. Green bandaged my leg and was about to leave when I stopped him.<br /> "Wait, I apologize for my behavior Doc. Where's the young lady who came in with me? I need to see her now." He looked at me sadly, shook his head and left the room without a word.<br /> My guess is he figured out why Kayan hadn't rushed into the hospital demanding answers. The realization hit me of how I not only disappointed Kayan but everyone close to me, especially my parents. <br /> I must have dosed off from the pain medication I had gotten as I was woken up by Mariana gently shaking my shoulder and calling my name.<br /> Blinking my eyes to adjust to the bright lights, I grabbed the remote and adjusted my bed. Mariana looked terrible, her hair was unkempt and her eyes were swollen. Her right arm was bandaged and now in a sling.<br /> She sat in the chair beside the bed and hung her head low. " I spoke to the police, I told them we were mugged at the apartment as we were trying to finalize wedding arrangements." It was barely a whisper, but I sighed in relief.<br /> "We messed up but I agree, I'll tell them the same thing. Kayan doesn't deserve this." My throat felt hoarse so I reached for a tumbler with water, poured a cup and took several sips.<br /> " I told you we needed to stop Dimitri but you insisted on coming over!" I pinned her with a glare which caused her to shut up immediately.<br /> The nerve of this woman! I laughed coldly before turning to her " Oh so now it's my fault Mar? Surely you weren't complaining when I rammed your wet dripping private part with my shaft right? You never said stop! Anything else I'm forgetting?" My chest was heaving by the time I finished ranting.<br /> I was about to continue but her sobs erupted. She looked at me lost, guilt etched across her face before she stood to leave.<br /> "Look Mar, I'm sorry okay. I just don't know what to do." I held her wrist, my thumb caressing the inside of her hand in a comforting way. "How did she get in though?"<br /> Mariana was trembling as tears streamed down her face. She took a deep breath before she spoke. "I forgot she had a key from over a year ago. She would always check the place when I traveled for a convention or went to see my family."<br /> My mouth opened to speak but no words were forthcoming and they never came as the door banged open, slamming into the wall denting it.<br /> Jumping with fright, we turned to see my very pissed off father and my distraught mother. Before I could utter a word, he spoke," You, get out now and don't let me see your face again!" Mariana jumped in fear and ran from the room sobbing before I could stop her.<br /> "Dad i can explain...." He slammed his hand onto the small table, knocking the tumbler over.<br /> My mom grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down but he flicked her hand away and grabbed my hospital gown roughly, "Explain what exactly Dimitri? How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> "I'm going to fix this Dad, just give me a chance please." I turned towards my mom seeking support but she turned her head away from me. " Mom, please I'm sorry, I'll fix this. I'm gonna make everything right."<br /> My Dad simply scoffed at my words, took my Mom's hands and walked out the door.<br /> The only sound that filled the room was that of the water droplets bouncing on the floor.<br /> ---- <br /> Mariana<br /> I have never been more regretful in my entire life. My head was throbbing non stop, my eyes were puffy from all the tears I'd shed in the past 24 hours. My mind replayed the events and all I could think of, was that I should be dead by Kayan's hands.<br /> My driver dropped me off to the apartment, and as I stepped inside I once again surveyed the damage. Nothing was left untouched, I had to start over but I guess that's the price to pay for stabbing your best friend in the back for six months.<br /> I wanted to stop so many times, I knew it was wrong but Dimitri was like a spirit I couldn't get enough of.<br /> We decided to take the secret to our graves and everything was going great until I saw him a week later at Danny's Cafe. We sat and talked for a while but after an hour when we attempted to leave, the sexual tension was just too much to ignore.<br /> From thereon, we used our lunch breaks and any free time we could muster to screw each other senseless. After each encounter, we'd say it was the last time , but that never happened as soon after I took trips when he did or he came to my apartment before going home.<br /> All this time, I gave Kayan a million excuses as to why we couldn't meet up, continued planning her wedding virtually and offered excuses when she whined about Dimitri being overly consumed by work.<br /> I even ended things with my own boyfriend as our relationship became strained and miserable because of my infidelity.<br /> Now this is the endgame, I lost my best friend who always stood by me and I'm pretty sure Dimitri and I have no future.<br /> Sitting on the stairs, I decided to take a leap of faith and call Kayan. If I could just get her to listen to me for a second, I would tell her how sorry I am and try to fix things.<br /> As I dialed her number, it went directly to voice-mail, and after trying a few more times unsuccessfully, I decided to go see her. I ordered an Uber, waiting outside for a few minutes before the car pulled up.<br /> I got in, gave the driver her address and stared blankly out the window. The only sounds were that of the music playing in the dashboard.<br /> Ten minutes later, I was standing on the curb outside Kayan's townhouse. Hesitantly, I opened the gate, trudged up the steps and rang the bell. I was there waiting for a few minutes, I called her but there was no response.<br /> I walked to the garden by the lamp post where she always hid a spare key. It was gone.<br /> Just as I was about to step from the yard, I was stopped in my tracks by a faint voice. My hopes increased but when I turned around expecting Kayan, no one was there.<br /> What was that then, I thought to myself.<br /> I reopened the Uber app, placed my request and waited by the curb.<br /> "She's not here you know." I was startled by the voice and was relieved to see her neighbor Michael.<br /> "What do you mean? Where is she?" I asked hurriedly.<br /> He eyed me suspiciously before replying,<br /> "Seeing you here looking like poop tells me you had a role in Kay's sudden departure 2 hours ago." His words were true yet hurtful, I castedmy eyes down in shame.<br /> "You don't know, Mike, just tell me where she went, I need to talk to her before it's too late" I begged him.<br /> The prick was nonchalant as he leant against her gate typing away on his phone. After getting a ping, indicating a message, he looked up at me smirking.<br /> "Well if you must know, my girl left for England indefinitely..." he paused, struggling to hold back a snicker, "...Oh and she says you should go yourself or Dimatro, whatever the pretty boy's name is." Michael was now clutching his side laughing hysterically while I sighed in defeat.<br /> She's gone! And now there's no way I will find her because I can't go to her family and I'm pretty sure she's already changed her number!<br /> I didn't warrant Michael a response since the Uber pulled up, I hopped in and left.<br /> My phone began vibrating in my pocket and I grabbed it quickly, just hoping it would be Kayan. I was disappointed as Dimitri's name flashed on the screen.<br /> "What do you want Dimitri? Haven't we done enough, didn't you hear what your father said?" I shouted angrily, catching sight of the driver's raised brows in the rear view mirror.<br /> "Calm down Mari, I wanted to apologize for my Dad. I'm getting discharged now so I'm heading home, I need to sort things out with Kay." Though I had wanted the same thing minutes ago, I couldn't help the pang of jealousy that gripped me.<br /> Before I could stop myself I snarled in response<br /> "Thanks for asking how I'm doing you prick! Oh and don't bother going there because she's gone!"<br /> "What are you talking about Mari! This is not the time to joke with me..." I'd had enough of his nonsense so I cut him mid sentence " Kay's gone Dimitri, I just left the house, she's not home and her neighbor says she left for England." The other end of the line was silent.<br /> I looked at the screen to see if the call had been disconnected but the line was still open.<br /> "Dimitri?" He sighed in response and I heard him grunt in pain, perhaps moving too quickly on his injured leg.<br /> "I'm here Mari. How will I fix things if I don't know where to find her? Of all the places, she had to chose England!? Couldn't she have just gone to her parents? What am I going to do now?"<br /> I wanted to speak but my throat felt as if it was clogged.<br /> I cut the call, switched to airplane mode and rested my head against the window as fresh salty tears rolled down my cheeks.<br /> I lost everything.<br /> My best friend. Dimitri . And a family who accepted me without judgement and showed me nothing but love all these years. | Lio111 | 16 | https://facebook.com/61554822209907 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

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. 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.

How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Kayan<br /> I was betrayed by two people I trusted implicitly, my best friend and my fiancรฉ, or so i thought.<br /> Without saying a word, I bent down and picked up my phone. By this time Dimitri had donned his boxers and his slim fit navy dress pants. Mariana on the other hand was gripping the white sheet, trying to cover her body and was sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> Normally her tears would have stirred some sort of emotion but I felt absolutely nothing looking at her.<br /> Dimitri stepped towards me with his outstretched hand but I stepped back, and when I spoke my own voice surprised me.<br /> Two words, " How long?". I stared at both of them expectantly. Dimitri sighed and rubbed his face, looking at me with regret.<br /> When no response was forthcoming from him, I turned to Mariana and pinned her with a glare. " Shut up Mariana! I asked a question and I need an answer now!" I shouted.<br /> She pulled her knees to her chest as her body shook in fear, she had only seen me angry once so she knew not to taunt me. Dimitri on the other hand, was stunned.<br /> She looked at me and stuttered in fear " S....si...six months", and hung her head low. I absorbed her reply, laughed hysterically, which caught both of them by surprise. They looked at each other shrugging their shoulders and just as I started laughing suddenly, I stopped abruptly.<br /> "Six months you say? I guess this is the part where you'll say it was a mistake, you never meant to hurt me and you're both sorry right?." I spoke calmly, surprising myself.<br /> Dimitri was first to speak " Kay, please I'm so sorry. We were both tipsy after your work anniversary party,and after I dropped her off, everything went to terrible. I'm so sorry baby but..." I laughed again, cutting him off mid sentence.<br /> I held my hand up then turned to Mariana" What about you bimbo, any last words?" Her eyes bulged in fear and I watched her squirm in fear. She knew I could put a bullet between her eyes even with my eyes closed , thanks to my Dad taking me to the pistol range every Saturday for 2 years.<br /> She sprung to her knees, the sheet fell exposing her and I saw all the hickeys along her neck and on her breasts. "Kay please, let's talk about this. I'm so sorry and I regret this. I'm so sorry for hurting you like this, it wasn't planned."<br /> The nerve of this woman, I thought. I should have listened to my gut all those months ago. She kept thwarting our plans, started traveling a lot and would barely take my video calls then. And she kept changing or bashing my wedding plans and like a fool, I brushed it aside.<br /> Dimitri was the same, one business trip after another, late nights and then he was distant. When I asked him about it, he promised to do better than what he did, but there was a subtle change. We no longer have sleep.<br /> Both of them looked at me expectantly, waiting for the weak, docile Kayan to shed tears and assure them everything would be okay.<br /> I dropped my phone into my bag, grabbed my pistol and clicked the safety off. I swiftly fired two rounds which were followed by agonizing screams. I shot Dimitri in his thigh just inches from his shaft while Mariana got hers in her right shoulder. Just enough to cause pain but not be fatal.<br /> I walked out the room but turned to them saying " That's for the betrayal, I never want to see or hear from either of you again. The next time you won't be so lucky."<br /> I descended the stairs shakily, I touched my face checking for tears but there were none. My chest was convulsing but I refused to give in to the pain I was feeling.<br /> As I got to the last step, I looked around, marched over to the fireplace and threw all photos she had of us together into it. I lifted the stoker, broke her 60" Samsung TV and everything went red from thereon. I trashed her apartment then walked out as if nothing happened.<br /> I grabbed my baseball bat from my trunk, smashed all her windows and doors. Just as I about to leave, I saw Dimitri's Silver Range Rover across the street.<br /> How didn't I notice it before?<br /> I walked up to it and repeated my actions. When I was satisfied, I hopped into my van and drove away.<br /> ---- <br /> Dimitri<br /> I couldn't believe Kayan shot us and simply walked away. I had known her for over 6 years but I never encountered this side of her. I knew I deserved that, worst of all, I ruined the one good thing I had done.<br /> I was thinking with my shaft and not my brain, because in assessing the current situation, Mariana was just a good woman. There is attraction, but the feelings I have for Kayan are deeper.<br /> Her sobs reverberated around the bedroom , bringing me back to the current situation.<br /> When Kayan left the room, I heard her trashing Mariana's apartment downstairs and was about to go after her.<br /> Mariana's words stopped me dead in my tracks, "Leave her be, Dimitri, she will kill you! She needs to calm down first before we approach her." I turned to her slowly, trying to ignore the pain and blood gushing from my wound.<br /> "What do you mean Mari? I'm going after her! There is no us. This was a mistake. I need to talk to her!" I ran my hands over my face then slid my belt around my leg making a tourniquet.<br /> She slid off the bed, gripping the sheet with her uninjured shoulder. " Take it from me, we're lucky to be alive! You have never seen her upset or know what she's capable of in this state but I do!" She tiptoed to the door listening for any further sound from downstairs, but was greeted with silence.<br /> Mariana sat on the stairs shaking and crying while gripping her disheveled hair.<br /> The front door was ajar, I moved to lock it but the sight of Mariana's car took my breath away. I looked across the street to mine and it looked even worst.<br /> I shook my head, sighed and turned too quickly, causing a searing pain in the bullet wound.<br /> I called my driver Michael and told him to be quick and discreet.<br /> Mariana got dressed in the meantime while we waited with bated breaths.<br /> Michael arrived in about 10 minutes, his eyes expressed shock but he knew better than to ask any questions.<br /> He drove us to Wyckoff Medical, the only place I knew would be discreet about what happened.<br /> Using the back entrance, we were quickly ushered into separate rooms for assessment.<br /> As I laid on the bed, I felt Dr. Green prodding my wound for the bullet. He's been our family physician since I was a child, so when he asked who I pissed off this time , I sighed and ignored him.<br /> All I could think about was Kayan, she was my everything!<br /> Not anymore you prick, you screwed up and you're lucky to be alive, I shook my head, trying to shake guilt ridden thoughts from my subconscious.<br /> I reminisced on all the times we spent together, the plans we made for our future and our kids. I reflected on how she supported me even when my own father doubted me. She never gave up on me. You shut up Dimitri!<br /> Dr. Green waved his hand above my eyes while calling my name. " Did you hear anything I said just now?" he asked quietly.<br /> I sighed " No, what is it?". My tone was clipped but right now I didn't care, I could apologize later.<br /> He rolled his eyes before continuing "I said there's a detective waiting outside to talk to you, you know it's my duty to report this." He grabbed a scissors and cut the thread, signaling that he had finished stitching my wound.<br /> "You'll live, but stay off your feet for a few days, and use a crutch if you have to move around." Dr. Green bandaged my leg and was about to leave when I stopped him.<br /> "Wait, I apologize for my behavior Doc. Where's the young lady who came in with me? I need to see her now." He looked at me sadly, shook his head and left the room without a word.<br /> My guess is he figured out why Kayan hadn't rushed into the hospital demanding answers. The realization hit me of how I not only disappointed Kayan but everyone close to me, especially my parents. <br /> I must have dosed off from the pain medication I had gotten as I was woken up by Mariana gently shaking my shoulder and calling my name.<br /> Blinking my eyes to adjust to the bright lights, I grabbed the remote and adjusted my bed. Mariana looked terrible, her hair was unkempt and her eyes were swollen. Her right arm was bandaged and now in a sling.<br /> She sat in the chair beside the bed and hung her head low. " I spoke to the police, I told them we were mugged at the apartment as we were trying to finalize wedding arrangements." It was barely a whisper, but I sighed in relief.<br /> "We messed up but I agree, I'll tell them the same thing. Kayan doesn't deserve this." My throat felt hoarse so I reached for a tumbler with water, poured a cup and took several sips.<br /> " I told you we needed to stop Dimitri but you insisted on coming over!" I pinned her with a glare which caused her to shut up immediately.<br /> The nerve of this woman! I laughed coldly before turning to her " Oh so now it's my fault Mar? Surely you weren't complaining when I rammed your wet dripping private part with my shaft right? You never said stop! Anything else I'm forgetting?" My chest was heaving by the time I finished ranting.<br /> I was about to continue but her sobs erupted. She looked at me lost, guilt etched across her face before she stood to leave.<br /> "Look Mar, I'm sorry okay. I just don't know what to do." I held her wrist, my thumb caressing the inside of her hand in a comforting way. "How did she get in though?"<br /> Mariana was trembling as tears streamed down her face. She took a deep breath before she spoke. "I forgot she had a key from over a year ago. She would always check the place when I traveled for a convention or went to see my family."<br /> My mouth opened to speak but no words were forthcoming and they never came as the door banged open, slamming into the wall denting it.<br /> Jumping with fright, we turned to see my very pissed off father and my distraught mother. Before I could utter a word, he spoke," You, get out now and don't let me see your face again!" Mariana jumped in fear and ran from the room sobbing before I could stop her.<br /> "Dad i can explain...." He slammed his hand onto the small table, knocking the tumbler over.<br /> My mom grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down but he flicked her hand away and grabbed my hospital gown roughly, "Explain what exactly Dimitri? How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> "I'm going to fix this Dad, just give me a chance please." I turned towards my mom seeking support but she turned her head away from me. " Mom, please I'm sorry, I'll fix this. I'm gonna make everything right."<br /> My Dad simply scoffed at my words, took my Mom's hands and walked out the door.<br /> The only sound that filled the room was that of the water droplets bouncing on the floor.<br /> ---- <br /> Mariana<br /> I have never been more regretful in my entire life. My head was throbbing non stop, my eyes were puffy from all the tears I'd shed in the past 24 hours. My mind replayed the events and all I could think of, was that I should be dead by Kayan's hands.<br /> My driver dropped me off to the apartment, and as I stepped inside I once again surveyed the damage. Nothing was left untouched, I had to start over but I guess that's the price to pay for stabbing your best friend in the back for six months.<br /> I wanted to stop so many times, I knew it was wrong but Dimitri was like a spirit I couldn't get enough of.<br /> We decided to take the secret to our graves and everything was going great until I saw him a week later at Danny's Cafe. We sat and talked for a while but after an hour when we attempted to leave, the sexual tension was just too much to ignore.<br /> From thereon, we used our lunch breaks and any free time we could muster to screw each other senseless. After each encounter, we'd say it was the last time , but that never happened as soon after I took trips when he did or he came to my apartment before going home.<br /> All this time, I gave Kayan a million excuses as to why we couldn't meet up, continued planning her wedding virtually and offered excuses when she whined about Dimitri being overly consumed by work.<br /> I even ended things with my own boyfriend as our relationship became strained and miserable because of my infidelity.<br /> Now this is the endgame, I lost my best friend who always stood by me and I'm pretty sure Dimitri and I have no future.<br /> Sitting on the stairs, I decided to take a leap of faith and call Kayan. If I could just get her to listen to me for a second, I would tell her how sorry I am and try to fix things.<br /> As I dialed her number, it went directly to voice-mail, and after trying a few more times unsuccessfully, I decided to go see her. I ordered an Uber, waiting outside for a few minutes before the car pulled up.<br /> I got in, gave the driver her address and stared blankly out the window. The only sounds were that of the music playing in the dashboard.<br /> Ten minutes later, I was standing on the curb outside Kayan's townhouse. Hesitantly, I opened the gate, trudged up the steps and rang the bell. I was there waiting for a few minutes, I called her but there was no response.<br /> I walked to the garden by the lamp post where she always hid a spare key. It was gone.<br /> Just as I was about to step from the yard, I was stopped in my tracks by a faint voice. My hopes increased but when I turned around expecting Kayan, no one was there.<br /> What was that then, I thought to myself.<br /> I reopened the Uber app, placed my request and waited by the curb.<br /> "She's not here you know." I was startled by the voice and was relieved to see her neighbor Michael.<br /> "What do you mean? Where is she?" I asked hurriedly.<br /> He eyed me suspiciously before replying,<br /> "Seeing you here looking like poop tells me you had a role in Kay's sudden departure 2 hours ago." His words were true yet hurtful, I castedmy eyes down in shame.<br /> "You don't know, Mike, just tell me where she went, I need to talk to her before it's too late" I begged him.<br /> The prick was nonchalant as he leant against her gate typing away on his phone. After getting a ping, indicating a message, he looked up at me smirking.<br /> "Well if you must know, my girl left for England indefinitely..." he paused, struggling to hold back a snicker, "...Oh and she says you should go yourself or Dimatro, whatever the pretty boy's name is." Michael was now clutching his side laughing hysterically while I sighed in defeat.<br /> She's gone! And now there's no way I will find her because I can't go to her family and I'm pretty sure she's already changed her number!<br /> I didn't warrant Michael a response since the Uber pulled up, I hopped in and left.<br /> My phone began vibrating in my pocket and I grabbed it quickly, just hoping it would be Kayan. I was disappointed as Dimitri's name flashed on the screen.<br /> "What do you want Dimitri? Haven't we done enough, didn't you hear what your father said?" I shouted angrily, catching sight of the driver's raised brows in the rear view mirror.<br /> "Calm down Mari, I wanted to apologize for my Dad. I'm getting discharged now so I'm heading home, I need to sort things out with Kay." Though I had wanted the same thing minutes ago, I couldn't help the pang of jealousy that gripped me.<br /> Before I could stop myself I snarled in response<br /> "Thanks for asking how I'm doing you prick! Oh and don't bother going there because she's gone!"<br /> "What are you talking about Mari! This is not the time to joke with me..." I'd had enough of his nonsense so I cut him mid sentence " Kay's gone Dimitri, I just left the house, she's not home and her neighbor says she left for England." The other end of the line was silent.<br /> I looked at the screen to see if the call had been disconnected but the line was still open.<br /> "Dimitri?" He sighed in response and I heard him grunt in pain, perhaps moving too quickly on his injured leg.<br /> "I'm here Mari. How will I fix things if I don't know where to find her? Of all the places, she had to chose England!? Couldn't she have just gone to her parents? What am I going to do now?"<br /> I wanted to speak but my throat felt as if it was clogged.<br /> I cut the call, switched to airplane mode and rested my head against the window as fresh salty tears rolled down my cheeks.<br /> I lost everything.<br /> My best friend. Dimitri . And a family who accepted me without judgement and showed me nothing but love all these years. | Wha002 | 29 | https://facebook.com/61554783541379 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

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. 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?" | Guin112 | 20 | https://facebook.com/61554651037723 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

"<br /> "Elliot, what's going on?" I look at him, then at her, and back at him.<br /> He quickly stands up from his seat. "She was just leaving. Weren't you, Clara?<br /> She bats her eyelashes rapidly. "Honey, I think it's time for her to learn the truth. Don't you agree?"<br /> Clara laughs, looking at me. "I'm the woman who slept with him yesterday and the days before."<br /> "Taylor, please let me explain." He has the nerve to plead with me, after what he did.<br /> No. I won't stay here and listen as he tries to find an excuse for what he did. <br /> "Taylor, please. I want to talk to you." He tries again.<br /> "There's nothing to talk about" I snap at him.<br /> <br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> <br /> I take the stairs to go to my apartment. Iโm so lost in my thoughts, that I donโt pay any attention to my surroundings.<br /> "Watch it!โ Someone warns me.<br /> I look up, and a man that I have never seen before is standing right in front of me. He has dark hair cut in a military style and deep blue eyes. I see tattoos on his neck that seem to go all the way down to his torso. I canโt help, but think how handsome he is. I take a step back to put some distance between us.<br /> He must be my new neighbour.<br /> I smile as I present my hand to him. โHello, my name is Taylor Walker. Whatโs yourโs?โ<br /> He glares at me as if Iโm already a nuisance to him. โAnnoyed.โ He let out as he walks past me.<br /> Rude! I say to myself before I keep walking up the stairs.<br /> I unlock the door with my keys and look through my mail. โBills. Bills. Bills.โ I mumble to myself.<br /> I will deal with them later. Right now, all I want is to take a cup of coffee before I put myself pretty for my date with Elliot.<br /> I donโt smoke or drink. My only dope is coffee. I need at least four cups per day, and thatโs when I have a good day.<br /> As I make a cup of coffee for myself, I take a disposable cup to make another one. I donโt know why I even bother with this. So why am I purring a second cup for a man I donโt even know, is beyond me.<br /> Okay, Iโll admit. I didnโt like our first encounter.<br /> I wonder if he takes sugar or milk. He seems like a man that likes his coffee black.<br /> I bite my lips nervously as I pass my threshold.<br /> Why am I doing this again? I ask myself on the way to his apartment.<br /> I know where he leaves. Heโs my next-door neighbour.<br /> I clear my throat as I knock on his door.<br /> No response.<br /> I knock again.<br /> โWhat the freak do you want?โ He snaps at me while he opens his door.<br /> My heart skips a beat. Maybe itโs because of his deep blue eyes that they keep staring at me as if they want to devour my soul or something.<br /> I smile so he wonโt notice how nervous he makes me. โUhmm, I wanted to properly welcome you to the building.โ I give him the cup of coffee that I made for him.<br /> He takes a drag at his cigar, looking at my body all the way up to my eyes. โAre you here, because you want to freak?โ<br /> My jaw drops on the floor. โWhat? No!โ I nearly scream at him.<br /> He chuckles, seeing my reaction. โThatโs what I thought.โ He starts to close the door.<br /> โWait, you could at least tell me your name.โ I wonโt back down, even if his words made me uncountable. I put my hand in my chest to give a little drama. โDonโt tell me that a man at your size is scared by a little woman like myself.โ Itโs my turn to tease him.<br /> Iโm five foot tall, and heโs like six. Heโs a mountain man.<br /> He takes the cup from my hand. โIโm not scared. Thank you for the coffee, buttercup.โ He then closes the door in my face.<br /> Argh!<br /> You donโt get to take my coffee and not answer my question.<br /> I knock on his door harder this time.<br /> โLeave me the freak alone!โ He says, glaring at me.<br /> I shake my head stubbornly. โNot until you tell me your name. Itโs rude otherwise.โ<br /> โYou wonโt leave me the freak alone, is that it?โ He let out a growl. โOwen Blake. Now Piss off!โ Once again he closes the door in my face.<br /> I smirk as I walk back to my place.<br /> I look at the time. โFreak! Iโm going to be late for my date with Elliot. I have to hurry to get ready.โ<br /> I drink my coffee in a hurry and run inside the bathroom to take a shower.<br /> Elliot and I have been together for over a year now. He wants me to move in with him, but I donโt want to. I love my independence and my apartment to give them up.<br /> I brush my teeth after my shower as a towel covers my body.<br /> As I look inside my closet, I wonder what Iโm going to wear. I think Iโm going to go with my green cocktail dress and some black heels. I decided to put light makeup on myself.<br /> I run, hearing my cell phone inside the kitchen. โHello.โ<br /> โHey, baby,โ Elliot says over the phone. โIโm sorry, but I have to reschedule our date. I have an emergency at work that I canโt get out of.โ<br /> I sigh. Itโs not the first time that this has happened.<br /> โI can always come over tomorrow.โ He suggests.<br /> โSure.โ<br /> โI am sorry, but I truly have to go now. See you tomorrow.โ He hung up before I have the chance to say goodbye to him.<br /> I just got dressed for nothing.<br /> I need some air.<br /> I grab my jacket to go upstairs to the rooftop. I love to go there and think.<br /> As I arrive, I stare up at the sky. A full moon is out tonight.<br /> I hear a noise and when I look to where it was coming from, I jump as I see a shadow not far from me.<br /> โRelax, buttercup. Itโs just me.โ He smirks, seeing my reaction.<br /> I put my hand on my chest while my heart beat fast. โGod, Owen. Warn someone before you give them a heart attack.โ<br /> He takes a drag from his cigar, as he keeps staring at me.<br /> Will he stop doing that?<br /> โYou know, one of these days, this will kill you.โ I point at what he has in between his fingers.<br /> He exhales the smoke from his lungs while his eyes try to pierce my soul.<br /> I feel nervous under his stare, but at the same time, I feel drawn to them.<br /> โWho cares how I would die. Eventually, everyone will meet their fate. Not that I care, but where are you going dressing up like that?โ<br /> I look down on myself. โI was supposed to go out on a date with my boyfriend. He cancelled at the last minute. He has an emergency at work.โ<br /> Owen licks his lips. โMaybe heโs screwing with someone as we speak.โ<br /> I cross my arms in front of me, feeling annoyed by him. โWhy are you so mean to me? I never did something to deserve this. Besides, I trust him. He would never do something like that to me.โ<br /> I take a few steps to leave but stop at the last minute. โAll I did was try to be nice to you, and thatโs what I get.โ<br /> He frowns his eyebrows. โI never asked you freak. Itโs not my problem if you canโt handle the truth.โ<br /> โUgh, Iโm leaving,โ I say as I step further away from him.<br /> โGood riddance.โ He says loud enough for me to hear him.<br /> Owenโs words start to hunt me more than they should. I trust Elliot. Heโs a good man. Iโm sure all he wanted was a reaction from me, and he succeeded.<br /> Thatโs all and nothing else.<br /> I trust Elliot. I say one more time.<br /> <br /> I look around my apartment, and Iโm satisfied with the cleaning. Iโm not a clean freak. I just love my apartment to be spotless. While I cleaned my apartment, it distracted me from what happened yesterday.<br /> <br /> Owenโs words still bother me.<br /> <br /> โ<br /> Maybe heโs screwing with someone as we speak.โ<br /> <br /> Ugh! Why did he have to say this?<br /> <br /> I know it isnโt true. I trust Elliot. When we spend time together, he never gives me the impression that heโs cheating. Heโs always a sweetheart.<br /> <br /> Iโm so lost in my thoughts that when the doorโs bell ring, I jump a little.<br /> <br /> โIt must be Elliot,โ I say to myself as I go to answer the door.<br /> <br /> โHey, baby.โ Elliot smiles at me, holding a huge bouquet of red roses in his hands.<br /> <br /> Like I said, a sweetheart.<br /> <br /> I love roses. I think they are pretty, but they arenโt my favourite kind. The flower that I love the most is called sakura in Japanese. Which means cherry blossom.<br /> <br /> โAre those for me?โ I ask him.<br /> <br /> He smirks. โWhy of course. Only the best for my girlfriend.โ<br /> <br /> โWhat did I do to deserve such a gift?โ I play along.<br /> <br /> โDo I need a reason to spoil you?โ He wonders in a playful tone. โI saw them, and I thought of you.โ<br /> <br /> Out of nowhere, someone chuckles behind Elliot. As my boyfriend moves to the side, I see Owen ready to go inside his apartment while he has an arm around a womanโs waist.<br /> <br /> Off course.<br /> <br /> โ<br /> Are you here, because you want to freak?โ<br /> I remember Owen saying those words to me.<br /> <br /> Stop thinking about this, or youโre going to blush in front of him, and FYI you arenโt interested in him. You have a boyfriend so you can forget it. I scold myself.<br /> <br /> โSo this is the boyfriend.โ Owen looks at the flower in Elliotโs hands. Thatโs what I thought.โ He laughs, guiding his guest inside his apartment.<br /> <br /> What did he mean by thatโs what I thought?<br /> <br /> Is he referring to his words from last night?<br /> <br /> Why do I even bother racking my brain over this?<br /> <br /> Owen isnโt worth my time if he's acting like a jerk.<br /> <br /> Elliot clears his throat once we are inside my place. โSo, who was that?โ<br /> <br /> I take the bouquet from his hands. โOwen Blake, my new neighbour.โ<br /> <br /> He nods his head, but he doesnโt seem happy. โWhat did he mean by that what I thought? Did you speak to him?โ<br /> <br /> I open a kitchen cabinet to grab the vase. โHeโs my new neighbour. I couldnโt ignore him.โ<br /> <br /> Even if heโs an hip.<br /> <br /> โSo.โ He rubs his chin with his fingers. โWhat did he mean when he said thatโs what I thought?โ He repeats the question.<br /> <br /> I bite my lips nervously. I donโt know how he will react if I tell him, but I canโt lie to him. That wonโt be fair. Besides, I donโt have anything to hide.<br /> <br /> I pour some water inside the vase. โI told him that you were working late last night, and he said that it was because you were cheating on me. โ<br /> <br /> He frowns. โDid you believe him?โ<br /> <br /> I shake my head. โOf course not. I know you will never do such a thing to me.โ<br /> <br /> He let out a sight. โI donโt like this.โ<br /> <br /> I turn my head to look at him. โYou donโt like what?โ<br /> <br /> He folds his arms in front of him. โHim. He seems dangerous. You should stay clear of him. Better yet, come live with me permanently.โ<br /> <br /> Not this again!<br /> <br /> We already talked about this. He knows exactly where I stand on that matter. How should I put this in words so I wonโt upset his feelings? He barely stepped inside my apartment, and we are already talking about this.<br /> <br /> Yes, we argue sometimes. We are a couple. Everyone argues sometimes.<br /> <br /> I cut the edges of the roses before I put them in the vase. โ We talked about this. Iโm not going to move in with you, just because you dislike my neighbour. Iโm a big girl, I can take care of myself.โ<br /> <br /> Freak!<br /> <br /> Was I too harsh?<br /> <br /> Elliot inhales sharply, nodding his head.<br /> <br /> I know heโs not happy with my answer, but itโs the truth. Iโm not saying. Iโm saying not right now.<br /> <br /> Maybe itโs time to change the subject?<br /> <br /> Before I have the chance to do any of that, I feel Elliotโs arms circling my waist from behind. โIโm sorry, okay? I donโt come here to argue with you.<br /> <br /> Itโs like he read my mind.<br /> <br /> I turn around to bring my arms around his neck. โSo, how was work yesterday?โ<br /> <br /> Elliot makes a face, looking at me. โI donโt want to talk about work when Iโm with you.โ<br /> <br /> Itโs not the answer that I was looking for. I canโt blame him as I didnโt give him the answer that he wanted. So I will put this matter to the side and concentrate on my boyfriend.<br /> <br /> I smile at him. โAnd do tell me, what do you have in mind?โ<br /> <br /> Elliot smirks before he pecks my lips. โTrust me, baby, I have an idea, but first I want us to go out, and then later at my place, I will show you what I have in mind.โ<br /> <br /> Yesterday, I took the time to make myself pretty for our date that didnโt even happen. If he wants to take me out, he will have to take me with what Iโm wearing.<br /> <br /> I move away from him to go grab my purse and my jacket.<br /> <br /> โAre you going to change first?โ He wonders, looking at my body.<br /> <br /> I put my hand on my waist. โAre you saying that what Iโm wearing isnโt good enough for you?<br /> <br /> โNo.โ Heโs quick to say. โIt's just that I love seeing you in a cute little dress.โ<br /> <br /> I cross my arms in front of me. โIf you havenโt ditched me yesterday, you would have seen me into one.โ<br /> <br /> โIt wasnโt my fault. I had an emergency, and you know it.โ His words raise a little as he speaks.<br /> <br /> Thatโs exactly what I wanted to avoid us arguing.<br /> <br /> I go to him and peck him on the cheek. โIโm sorry, okay. I donโt know why I said that. I know it was out of hand on my part. Can we go now?โ<br /> <br /> He leaves a peck on my forehead. โIโm sorry too.โ<br /> <br /> Elliot takes my hand in his to guide us out of my place. I guess he doesnโt want to argue either.<br /> <br /> As we walk, a noise that comes from Owenโs apartment makes me freeze on the spot.<br /> <br /> โYes! Yes! Blake, yes!โ<br /> <br /> I bite my lips. I never screamed this way when Iโm intimate with Elliot. Am I missing something? Iโm not saying that our drill life is boring, Iโve never been so loud.<br /> <br /> Is it me, or does Elliot make us walk faster than necessary?<br /> <br /> I look around after the hostess of the restaurant shows us our table. As I look around, I notice that everyone is wearing nice clothes. We are definitely in a luxury fashion restaurant.<br /> <br /> I should have probably listened to Elliot and worn something nicer.<br /> <br /> Did he do it on purpose?<br /> <br /> No, Iโm sure he didnโt. I donโt even know why it crossed my mind.<br /> <br /> As I sit on the chair, I notice that the woman whoโs sitting to my right is judging me for the way sheโs looking at me. Maybe it has something to do with what Iโm wearing. I feel undressed. Is it as if everyoneโs judging me? I clear my throat, looking at the menu instead.<br /> <br /> Elliot didnโt notice anything. Heโs on the phone with someone from his work. I donโt mind. Iโm used to it by now.<br /> <br /> โNo. No, this isnโt a good idea.โ Elliot frowns as he speaks. He doesnโt seem happy. โWe will deal with this tomorrow.โ He hung up right after.<br /> <br /> I look at him with concern. โIs everything ok?โ<br /> <br /> โMmhmm.โ He mumbles.<br /> <br /> I wonโt push on the matter. If he wants to talk about it, he will.<br /> <br /> A young woman around my age stands beside us. โHello, my name is Lucy. I will be your waitress for tonight. Are you ready to order?โ She asks with a smile on her lips.<br /> <br /> I look through the menu, and even though everything seems delicious. I decided to go with something light. โA Caesar salad for me.โ<br /> <br /> She nods her head, writing it on her pad. โAnything to drink?โ<br /> <br /> I shake my head. โNo. Just water, please.โ<br /> <br /> Lucy turns her intention to my boyfriend. โAnd you, sir?โ<br /> <br /> โIโm going to go with the lamb shanks and a bottle of your finest beverage.โ He closes the menu and gives it to her.<br /> <br /> I let out a sigh. Itโs not that Iโm bothered that he has money, but he doesnโt have to show it every time we go out. He would have brought me to a food truck for our date, and I would still enjoy myself. I donโt need much. Just spending time with him would be enough for me.<br /> <br /> Elliot takes my hand once Lucy leaves with our order. โSo, what did you do today?โ<br /> <br /> I give him a smirk. โI donโt want to talk about work. Wasnโt what you wanted?โ<br /> <br /> He let out a chuckle. โI guess I deserve that.โ<br /> <br /> I look to my right, and the woman from earlier once again is staring at me. The guy thatโs with her is trying to get her intentions, but he falls miserably.<br /> <br /> Poor guy.<br /> <br /> As Elliot looks at the same woman, I notice his expression change for only a second.<br /> <br /> Iโm about to ask him whatโs up with that when Iโm distracted by Lucy as she brings our meals.<br /> <br /> I get up from my seat. โIf youโll excuse me, Iโm going to powder my nose.โ<br /> <br /> Elliot takes my hand to leave a peck on my skin. โOk.โ<br /> <br /> Iโm not going to powder my nose. It was better to say this than say Iโm going to the toilet to do the number one. I have manners.<br /> <br /> Once Iโm finished, I look at my reflection in the mirror. The thing I love the most about me is my hair. At first, you think they are black, but when the light hits them, the brown shines through them.<br /> <br /> As I walk back to my table, I stop on my track. I see the woman from earlier sitting in my seat while she talks with Elliot. He doesnโt seem happy with her presence.<br /> <br /> Whatโs wrong with this picture? I wonder.<br /> <br /> When Elliot sees me approaching them, I see the panic in his eyes.<br /> <br /> Owenโs words from last night replay in my head.<br /> โ<br /> Maybe heโs screwing with someone as we speak.โ<br /> <br /> Am I gullible to think that Elliot isnโt cheating on me? I have to get to the bottom of this before I make any accusations. I could be wrong here. It can be nothing.<br /> <br /> โElliot, whatโs going on?โ I look at him, then at her, and back at him.<br /> <br /> He quickly stands up from his seat. โShe was just leaving. Werenโt you, Clara?<br /> <br /> She bats her eyelashes rapidly. โHoney, I think itโs time for her to learn the truth. Donโt you agree?โ<br /> <br /> I cross my arms in front of me. โAnd who exactly are you?โ<br /> <br /> I suspect whatโs going on.<br /> <br /> Clara laughs, looking at me. โIโm the woman who slept with him yesterday and the days before.โ<br /> <br /> I canโt believe this. He told me that he wasnโt cheating.<br /> <br /> I look around, and everyone is staring at us.<br /> <br /> I canโt believe what is happening.<br /> <br /> โTaylor.โ I hear Elliot says my name.<br /> <br /> I ignore him completely. I go grab my coat and purse to get out of here. On the way out I call a uber company to come and pick me up.<br /> <br /> Once Iโm outside, waiting. Someone grabs my hand, and I know who that is. Iโm quick to remove my hand from his hold.<br /> <br /> โTaylor, please let me explain.โ He has the nerve to plead with me, after what he did.<br /> <br /> No. I wonโt stay here and listen as he tries to find an excuse for what he did. I ignore him completely as I look ahead me.<br /> <br /> โTaylor, please. I want to talk to you.โ He tries again.<br /> <br /> โThereโs nothing to talk aboutโ I snap at him.<br /> <br /> โElliot, there you are.โ Clara joins us outside. โNow that she knows, we can finally be together.โ<br /> <br /> Donโt cry. I say to myself. Not here, and certainly not in front of her.<br /> <br /> He turns to look at her to ask her to leave. An argument between them starts, and thankfully, I see the uber appear on the road.<br /> <br /> Neither of them notices that I get in the uber.<br /> <br /> All I want is to go home. A tear falls down my cheek as I try to keep it at bay. The driver doesnโt seem to be effective in my situation. Iโm sure in his line of work he saw this a lot of times.<br /> <br /> I stand in front of my door with the keys in my hand. I donโt want to go in. Something tells me that Elliot is on his way to talk to me. I donโt want to see him.<br /> <br /> A stupid idea coss my mind.<br /> <br /> Iโm sure that Iโm going to regret this, but for now, itโs my best option. Elliot will never think to search for me there.<br /> <br /> I walk until Iโm in front of Owenโs door and knock on it.<br /> <br /> Freak! Maybe the girl that he was with is still with him.<br /> <br /> Iโm about to turn around as I change my mind when his door opens.<br /> <br /> He frowns at me. โItโs you again.โ<br /> <br /> โIโm sorry to bother you.โ I feel shy under his stare.<br /> <br /> I donโt know why Iโm standing here. I donโt even know the guy. I swallow my pride. โCan I come in, please? I argued with Eliott, and Iโm not ready to face him yet.โ<br /> <br /> To my surprise, he opens his door wider, just enough for me to enter his place. | Red111 | 15 | https://facebook.com/61554959872521 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

My dad is really mad at you and Raven being mates." Twin sister Reagan said to my mate.<br /> "I don't mind rejecting her, but I would have been embarrassed to face my mate" Justin said.<br /> "My father has decided to appoint me as his future Alpha not my sister Raven. So, I will be your luna." Reagan said to Justin.<br /> ******** <br /> I silently run through the woods letting my wolf Emerald out tonight. She has been anxious all day, well really the last few days, and I could tell that she needed to come out for a run. <br /> Alpha Cole Walker is the Alpha of the Blood Walker pack. He is said to be one of the most dangerous Alphas in the United States. It is said that he would hurt anyone who dared to enter his pack uninvited. Due to this fact, most of our pack members studiously avoid this area altogether.<br /> My twin sister, Reagan, is the golden child of the pack. They all love her unconditionally. She is cherished and appreciated, no matter what she does. They all seem to ignore the fact that she is a horrible and mean she-wolf. I was born first, and with that should come the respect that after I find my mate, I will officially be the Luna here, and he will take over as the Alpha of the pack. Yet they all treat her as the next Luna. <br /> My sister and I are the only children that our parents had. The Goddess never blessed them with another child, even though they tried for years. My father, Alpha Graham Sullivan, is very strict with me. I am not allowed to leave my room other than to eat my meals and then return back to my room again. I am also not allowed to leave our pack for any reason. I have never even crossed the border of the Sliver Blade pack in my life. <br /> I was the Alpha's daughter, but I was not a valued member of this pack. Telling on me has always resulted in a bonus for whoever told on me to my father. I have had to learn how to overcome this on my own. It has made me very independent over the years, as well as a very good climber. I use the tree outside my window at the pack house, to climb up and down to get in and out of my room.<br /> From my vantage point, I can see who is coming now and rolled my eyes so hard I almost saw my brain. It was Reagan, and she was pulling the arm of a pretty large guy, as she headed toward the grassy bank near my tree. I realized right this moment that I have picked a terrible place to hide. I should have doubled back and then climbed in my window to my room and I would have been safe and sound in my room. Reagan is clearly out with one of her many men, as she was allowed to stay out and do whatever she wanted to. I mean how else could she beat me to finding her mate if she didn't flirt with all the unmated men in our pack? I rolled my eyes again and then froze when I looked at them again and got a good look at his face.<br /> That smell coming off of him was starting to drive me wild, he smelled like freshly baked cinnamon buns, and I was now pissed off. She had come here with the guy that I had a crush on, someone with whom she had never shown any interest in before. It was our Beta's son and the guy that I have had a crush on for the last year and a half.<br /> "No, don't stop them, Raven, she has already been dating with him for the last few months. This is not the first time, it has been well before he returned to the pack earlier this week. They are together now, dating, and they have both vowed to reject their actual mates to stay together to take over and run this pack. Please, just try to bear it, I will help you get through it. I am glad that you are in a secure location, this may make you pass out" Emerald linked me, and I felt physically sick.<br /> "How do you know this? Did she know that he is my mate? Why can't I approach him? Maybe he wants me, Emerald. Please let me stop this. He might not know that I am his mate, he may still want me, want US! I don't want to lose him, Emerald. He may not be aware his true mate is here. Can't he already smell our scent up here, like I smelled his scent? Are you sure that this is the only way? Please Emerald" I linked her back, and I feel the tears that are already sliding down my face. I have questions, and I need answers.<br /> I am frustrated. I don't want to give up on my true mate. He doesn't even know that I am here, and I do want him. I don't want to give him up, especially not to my sister Reagan. I don't know if I can survive this level of betrayal.<br /> "I can't wait for mom and dad to announce to the pack that we will be the Alpha and Luna tomorrow. This is something that I have really wanted for the last 8 years. I am so glad you decided that we could be chosen mates. " My sister says to my mate.<br /> "Besides, I am also glad that you are willing to lead the Silver Blade pack with me. I have a feeling that my freak of a sister who keeps staring at you is going to be crushed when she finds out that we are together. You dodged by deciding to accept me as your chosen mate. I know that she has a crush on you, so she would probably try to ask you out or something when she sees that you are back from break." She adds.<br /> "I think we will be so happy together. Raven will be so angry when she finds out that we planned this months ago. I cannot wait for her to find out. I even told mom to have her sit on the front row for the pack meeting tomorrow, so I can see her face when dad makes the announcement. I am going to put her next to you so it will hurt her more when dad calls you up on stage. When she realizes that her crush is going to be my mate, she is going to be so jealous of me. I am so going to get a picture of her face when she finds out, as I will want to remember that moment for a long time" I heard Reagan say to him, and I was so choked up I couldn't hold in the sob of pain that managed to escape.<br /> It wasn't loud, but with werewolf hearing, it was loud enough. I just stayed completely still and prayed that they hadn't heard me, but Justin started talking when my sob escaped, and they had no reaction, so I think I am safe.<br /> "I have always thought that you were a she-wolf, Reagan. I am so glad that you came up to my training with your offer, and for us to get extra special time together. If Raven were allowed to move around the pack, I don't think that she would be missing the fact that she is my mate. I scented her today when I got back to the pack and confirmed she is my mate. Per our agreement, I don't mind rejecting her, as I am clearly getting the better sister out of this deal. I would have been embarrassed to have to call that freak of nature my mate" Justin said, and with it, my heart was completely crushed.<br /> These two evil people deserved each other, and I will not waste another tear on his betrayal. He "chose" her, so he can keep her. She will never be faithful to him, and he will not ever be able to trust that their children are his either. She was just doing this to ensure that they become the next Alpha and Luna. She is what he wanted, so she can have him. I am thoroughly disgusted by both of them, and I will not allow them to make me sad one more day. I had already decided to get out of this horrible pack, and I will not miss the Silver Blade pack for a second. <br /> "She is your mate? Are you serious? Oh, this is the best" Reagan said as she laughed out in joy at hearing this information. "Justin, why haven't you mentioned this to me before?" Reagan continued.<br /> "I just found out about it earlier today as I have been gone for my training for the last 4 months. I caught my mate's scent and followed it so I could go ahead and reject them. I realized it was coming from the Alpha level, and when I went up and it led me straight to her door, it was really faint, but I sensed it. She doesn't even know it yet. I am sure that this information is not going to go over well with your parents. They may be upset when they find out. Are they still going to want us to move forward with our plan? Or are they going to want me and Raven to be mates because we are true mates?" Justin asked Reagan. I have to admit, I was interested in her reply as well, but I already suspected what the answer was going to be.<br /> "Oh no Justin, you will definitely be staying with me. I know dad is really going to get a kick out of you and Raven being mates. Mom might feel a little bad for her, but I think that this is great. I could not be happier that her true mate, will become my chosen mate.<br /> We will rule the Silver Blade pack together, and it will hurt her every day to see us together. It is my pack any way, it was never going to be hers. Maybe if we are lucky since she doesn't have a wolf, she won't be able to scent you, and your rejection might even hurt her when you do it. That would be the best-case scenario for all of us" Reagan said, and I could tell that Justin was a little shocked at how hateful she was. Reagan could tell that Justin was not liking this side of her so she quickly changed her attitude and started cooing at Justin, "She doesn't deserve you, baby, I love you and I want you. Hopefully, you will come to love me too.<br /> I was just worried, I don't want you falling in love with my sister after we have already mated." Reagan said to Justin, looking up at him adoringly through her long lashes. I have to admit, she really knows how to work people to do what she wants them to. Her ability to look innocent and pure is without measure, she could have been an actress.<br /> "Dad hates Raven. He will be very happy about this. He has never loved her since the day that she was born. Mom might be a little upset, but she will get over it. She and dad are chosen mates, she gave up her true mate to become the Luna of the Silver Blade pack. She did it herself, and if it is good enough for her, then it is good enough for me to do it as well. We make the perfect couple. We will have strong pups, and our pack will flourish" Reagan said, and I am stunned. I knew my dad was mean, but to hate me, why? What reason could he possibly have for hating me? My parents have told the whole pack numerous times through the years that they were true mates. They are very affectionate with each other in front of the pack. I didn't even know that they weren't true mates. What else don't I know about them?<br /> "We will do the same thing. You will have to reject Raven first thing in the morning, or after the pack meeting. But you will have to do it where no one else will hear you. Dad is going to tell the pack that we are true mates, so they will fully support us. Dad thinks that it would be a mistake to not have the pack's full support behind us when we go to take it over from my parents" Reagan said, and I am amazed at all the plans that they have kept away from me. Just another thing that shows how much difference there is between Reagan and me. I hear them touching again and wonder when they plan on leaving the area, don't they need to get back to the pack house?<br /> I narrow my eyes at Reagan, as she is ecstatic about getting to truly rub all of my misfortune in right now. Justin is getting the opportunity to reject me, so the situation that we are now in is all positive for them.<br /> "Raven, why are you out of the house? Are you supposed to be out here? Are you OK? That fall looked like it hurt pretty bad" I hear my sister ask me with an innocent look on her face like she cared about me. She was fully aware of how I am kept a prisoner here at the Silver Blade pack. I really have to get out of here. I needed to check and see how badly I am hurt because I don't know if I even have time to go pack a bag now. I may be having to leave here with nothing, but I am OK with that. I just need to get the heck out of here. I will figure out what I need to do after I am safely free of Silver Blade.<br /> "Are you ignoring me, Raven? Are you sure you want to do that to me? Fine then, I will just make sure that you get punished for leaving your room. You are not supposed to be out here anyway. I will just let dad know that you are out here, and he will take care of you" Reagan said with a smirk, and then she started mind linking. <br /> I and my wolf were running away from this pack. But they caught us immediately.<br /> "If you come back here now Raven, I won't punish you for leaving your room without permission" I heard my father tell me. <br /> "Nothing in the world could possess me to do that father," I told him, and I see his eyes glazing over as he goes to link someone. I could care less what they have to say to me, and I turned to walk away. <br /> "You will get punishment in the Blood Walker pack. You know how dangerous they are Raven, you have heard this fact for your whole life. They cannot be trusted, and you are now a rogue. We have told you, and the whole pack, exactly what happens to those who trespass on their land. The moment they scent you they will move in, and you will die today. Is that what you want? Do you want to die? I will get you more freedom in the pack. I will allow you to go to the library every day instead of once a week. How does that sound?" my mother's voice is calming and comforting. She has never before sounded as nice as this, and I know that dad put her up to try to lure me back into the Siler Blade pack. They must be desperate to do it, so I want to see how far they intended to go with it.<br /> "Let me ask you this mother. Was the plan to get Justin to take Reagan as a chosen mate her idea, or dad's?" I asked her. Mom is not a very good liar. I can see her expression as we are only about 20 feet apart from each other right now. <br /> "I don't know what you are talking about Raven, they are mates," my mom said to me, and now I smirk at her. Clearly, mom was keeping me out of the loop and doesn't know that I know for a fact that they aren't.<br /> "Thanks for always lying to me mom. That makes it so much easier on me. I will not be coming back to the Silver Blade pack. This is the last time, Goddess willing, that you all will probably see me and actually I am welcoming the death that is coming to me. It will be better than the life I have lived since Reagan tried to hurt me, and my own dad called me a liar when I told him what actually happened. Justin is not her mate mom, and I know this because he is MY mate. It is disgusting what all you three have done to me and allowed to be done to me my whole life. I never deserved to be treated the way I was. I can only hope that I can find my way and get to live a life that allows me to find someone who loves me and realizes that I am a good person. I don't think that is too much to ask for, do you mom? It seems like you and dad are willing to do anything to get me to come back over the fence, but we both know that if I did come back, I would either immediately be thrown in the cells. So, I will take my chances over here, where at least I have a chance" I told them and turned again to leave. I only made it a few steps before I was stopped again by my father's hateful words.<br /> "You are ungrateful daughter, How do you have the nerve to say that to me? I have clothed and fed you, provided you a room, and let you go to school. I did take care of you, and it is disgusting to see how you repay me. Lying about Justin being your mate. Trying to take your sister's mate away from her. I know that I can speak for your mother as well as myself when I say that we hope the Blood Walker pack disposes of you quickly. I only wish I could punish you myself" my dad roared out, and the hate was coming off of him in waves.<br /> "You disgust me father," I told him and the tone I used to draw out the word father let him know just how little I thought of him being my father. "I have never done anything to cause a problem or disruption in the pack, or in the family. I did what I was told this whole time. Even as knowing that you let the whole pack know that I was fair game if they wanted to hurt me, and they did dad, over and over again. You know what, it was my family that really took the award for the most torment. Your unwarranted hate, mom never supporting me, and my sister allowed to try to hurt me, and incite others up against me made me realize that life will be much better on this side of the border than it was on that side. Even if I only live an hour more, it would be better than the years I spent over there."<br /> I wiped off my tears and walked past them, suddenly, I hear something coming to meโฆ<br /> <br /> <br /> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><br /> Wanna listen more? download our App and check more!

Instantly, my muscles all revolted against that idea. My entire body was sore, but my core made sure to remind me that it'd taken a beating the night before. I wiped my eyes and sat up, unsure of where I was for a moment. Until I looked around. There were toned and undressed hips all around me. I smiled to myself as I captured the image in my mind for rainy days in my future. Mack, Jones, and Xavier were all tangled in the different blankets they'd brought with them to bed the night before. Earlier that morning, really.<br /> The back of the tour bus was a bedroom, fitted with one massive bed that took up the entire room. The normal tour bus accommodations existed between the bathroom and large bedroom, but no one had volunteered to sleep in their usual bed. They'd each found a way to wrap around me in the big bed and didn't miss the chance to take me once more before we passed out for good.<br /> ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ<br /> Layla<br /> "Oh, yeah! Eat me, Matty!" The woman screaming for my boyfriend was the lead singer of a moderately popular band called The Homewreckers. It was an aptly named band, apparently. Of course, she sounded amazing as she screamed. I always felt like a choking chimpanzee when I came out loud.<br /> I stood in the doorway of The Homewreckers' dressing room and took a deep breath. Unfortunately, it was scented with weed. "Hey, Matthew?"<br /> Matthew, who'd always told me he hated being called Matty, yanked his head out of Miriam Dark's private part and spun around to face me. It was almost comical how fast he spun and how wide his eyes were. He was white collar handsome. His hair was always perfectly cut, his eyebrows were never too long or bushy, and he shaved his face twice a day. He had nice blue eyes and a nice smile. Nice body, nice manhood, nice guy. Well, maybe not a nice guy. After all, his face was covered in another woman's private partl fluids.<br /> "Layla! What are you doing here?" He climbed to his feet and I watched in disgust as he shoved his flaccid manhood back into his nice dress pants. Then, as an afterthought, he wiped his face and stumbled closer to me. "This isn't..."<br /> I rolled my eyes. "It isn't what it looks like? God, Matthew, at least be original."<br /> Miriam took her time closing her legs and gently patted Matthew's shoulder. "Are we done here, Matty? Or do you think you'll be finished soon and want to finish here?"<br /> Laughing, I rolled my shoulders and leveled a hard stare at Matty. "We're done. Whatever we had is over, so feel free to finish playtime with whoever and whatever. I'm on vacation for a few days, so don't call me."<br /> He rushed after me and grabbed my arm. "Wait a second, Layla. I'm sorry. I messed up. Just give me a second to explain."<br /> I yanked my arm free and scowled at him. "Don't touch me."<br /> "Come on, Layla. Don't be like this. Talk to me. I feel terrible." He tried to take my hand again. "Please, baby."<br /> I wasn't going to let him see that I was upset. He didn't deserve that. Instead, I stepped away from him and snarled. "Touch me and I'll break every one of your fingers, Matty. Go and finish sleeping with your client. I believe she's still waiting."<br /> "Jesus. You work for me, Layla! How do you think this is going to go?"<br /> I backed away from him. "I think it's going to go just fine. Like I said, I'm on vacation. Don't call me. Don't message me. Don't think about me. As my ex-boyfriend or my boss."<br /> " Maybe not you, the perfect Layla.You have to accept that." He followed me. "I know that. I shouldn't have started anything with Miriam, but when I'm on the road with the band, it's hard. I miss you and she's there."<br /> My heart hardened and I took a deep breath. "How long have you been sleeping with her?"<br /> He swallowed so hard I saw his Adam's apple bobble. "Come on, Layla. None of this will matter. I'll stop. I'll stop and we can get engaged. You want that, right?"<br /> I gagged. "Ew, Matthew. There's not a chance that I'm getting engaged to you! I'd rather stick my papilla in a truck winch and turn it on."<br /> Miriam sauntered out of her dressing room topless and looked me over. "We've been slept for a year. Matty eats private part like a champ."<br /> A real smile stretched my lips. "Now I know you're full of foolish talk. He might get an climax, but a champ? Hardly. Anyway, enjoy him. I hope him not having a girlfriend doesn't ruin your lady boner."<br /> "Miriam, go back inside! Layla, just stop and talk to me!"<br /> Miriam and I both answered Matthew in unison. <br /> I looked at her and shrugged. "Maybe you're not all bad."<br /> Without waiting for either of them to say anything else, I turned around and walked away, ignoring Matthew as he called my name. Eventually he stopped and I walked faster. I needed to get out of there before I cried. I wasn't about to cry backstage at a music festival. Someone would probably jump out and tit punch me as some anti-crying ritual.<br /> As I walked faster, I couldn't fight the way my eyes filled with tears. No matter how lackluster Matthew was, I'd devoted years of my life to him. I'd just wasted my vacation time on him, too. I thought sneaking out to meet him on the road would be fun and lend some much needed excitement to our relationship. Things hadn't been good...ever...but I'd hoped that we could at least get back to a place where I didn't dread seeing him at work every day.<br /> I wiped at my eyes and felt the mascara I'd coated my eyelashes with earlier. Stupid. I swore and stomped my way farther away from Matthew and the ugly end of our relationship. The image of his hip in the air while he happily ate Miriam Dark's hoo-hah like a pig in slop would forever be burned into my memory.<br /> I couldn't wait to get back home to my apartment and destroy everything of Matthew's that he'd left behind. I needed to update my social media. I didn't do much on it anymore, but I couldn't stand the idea of people thinking I was still with the loser. I'd have to call Grandma. That thought made me want to sob. She hated Matthew, but she liked that I wasn't alone in LA. Knowing I was single again was going to worry her. And if she told Jagger, my older brother, about me being single, Jagger would call and demand to know what'd happened. Then, he would try to fly out and kick Matthew's hip. It was just a mess.<br /> Growling out a frustrated sound, I looked down to make sure I stepped over a big mess of cords. I couldn't believe someone had left the stage like that. It was a hazard. Not to mention, it would be so easy to show if someone tripped over the wrong cord.<br /> I should've been paying attention because when the crowd's wild cheering broke through my self-pitying stupor, I looked up to see how close I'd gotten to the main stage. Unfortunately, a man with a guitar was coming off the stage, looking back at another man behind him. I was moving too fast to stop in time and he wasn't looking. It happened so fast that I didn't even make a sound as I smacked right into the man and felt pain before bouncing off his hard body and going down hard. Those tangled cords.<br /> I heard a deep voice growl above me, but I reached up to feel my forehead and felt something wet. I knew my eyes went as wide as softballs and when I pulled my fingers down and saw red, I groaned. Blood was my kryptonite. My vision darkened and I gagged on my way down.<br /> <br /> Mack<br /> "Well." By the time I realized what was happening, the curvy brunette was flat on the ground. I dropped to my knees next to her and swore when I saw the blood on her forehead. "This is a new form of falling for me."<br /> Xavier squatted on her other side and frowned. "Not really a great time for joking. You knocked her out."<br /> Jones sighed and ran his hands through his hair. "Where'd she come from? Also, maybe look where you're going from now on. You ran the poor thing over. Big time."<br /> I brushed her hair out of her face and had a completely ridiculous moment of feeling like I was staring down at Sleeping Beauty. She was gorgeous. I gently patted her soft cheek. "Ma'am? Hello?"<br /> "Great work. She's jumping right to life." Jones looked over his shoulder. "You've got about thirty seconds to get her on her feet and out of the way before the crowd beats back security and runs back here."<br /> I could hear the commotion he was hearing and ground my teeth. We'd just come off an amazing show. I had planned on going to a bar and getting hammered. Taking care of a Disney princess hadn't been in my plans, but it didn't look like I had an option. I couldn't just leave her on the ground and I didn't know any of the stage hands enough to trust them with an unconscious woman.<br /> "Fine." I stood up and lifted her body over my shoulder. Her head and arms hung limply and bounced off my hip, but I figured it was better for her than getting trampled to death. "Let's get her to our bus and get the medics to check her out. She'll be safe there until she can wake up and go."<br /> Xavier nodded once and charged ahead, clearing a path. He was a giant of a man and no one was dumb enough to stay in his way. They didn't understand what a gentle soul he was. I was thankful for that when they jumped out of our way, though. Especially with a crowd of rabid fans chasing after us.<br /> Jones barked at security to make sure no one followed us out into the artist lot and slammed the heavy metal door shut behind us. He swore and scowled at the door like it was the problem. "What do we even pay security for if they can't keep people away?"<br /> The woman over my shoulder groaned and grabbed my hips. I waited to see if she would say anything else, but she didn't. Her arms fell limp again and I released a breath at not having her scream and freak out while dangling over my shoulder.<br /> "I'll call the medic." Xavier hurried ahead to the bus.<br /> "This puts a damper on my plans." I sighed and glanced over at Jones. "We put on a good show and I was planning on drinking my face off to celebrate."<br /> "The medics are quick. We'll get her taken care of, apologize, and then send her on her way. With the medics, hopefully." He ran his eyes over the full hip over my shoulder. "Too bad you knocked her out before seeing if she wanted to drink with us."<br /> I laughed. "She sure is pretty. I doubt she'll be in a forgiving mood, though. I should've been looking at where I was going."<br /> "Why change now? Forget what I said earlier. We're in our forties. Let's not waste our time. Old dogs and new tricks, you know." He reached the bus before me and opened the door. "You put your guitar down."<br /> I winced. "I'll send a text to Shane as soon as I put her down."<br /> "I'll do it now. They're going to have to chase down whatever fan saw it and took it, probably. I highly doubt it's still sitting where you left it."<br /> I didn't want to think about my baby being in someone else's hands so instead, I focused on the woman in my arms. I climbed the steps and entered the bus, letting the cool AC wash over my overheated skin. The first space on the bus was a living room with four comfortable couches and I eased the unconscious woman down on one of them.<br /> Stretched out on the couch, her curves were even more noticeable. She was wearing tight black jeans and a low-cut top that was black and mostly straps and lace. I didn't get it, but I liked it. It was bad for me to notice her body, but the top curves of her breasts were spilling out of the shirt deliciously.<br /> I forced my eyes to her forehead and frowned. The cut was definitely from my baby. It looked like either a cord or a corner of my guitar had hit her just perfectly to leave a small cut. The skin around the cut didn't look too angry and overall, she looked okay. Besides being unconscious. I ran my hands under the back of her head and felt around to see if I found a lump from her hitting her head on the ground, but there was nothing.<br /> "The medics are tied up at another stage." Xavier growled in frustration and stared down at the woman. "Cut looks fine. Anything along the back of her head?"<br /> I shook my head. "No. She seems fine, honestly."<br /> "I don't like that she passed out." He sat down across from her and rested his elbows on his knees. "Go ahead and shower. I'll watch over her until you're back."<br /> Xavier, Jones, and I had served in the military together. We'd each done enough time to know how to take care of basic medical emergencies and several other things we'd never need in civilian life. It'd been a long time since any of us had to do first-aid in the field, but we could still hold our own.<br /> "Sure. I'll be fast." I winced. "I'm the one who plowed her over. I should be the one that has to explain it."<br /> I showered as fast as possible in the small bus bathroom but I still wasn't fast enough. By the time I shut the water off, I could already hear a husky female voice I didn't recognize ranting away. I wrapped a towel around myself and rushed out to apologize and get her to stop chewing out Jones and Xavier.<br /> What I found wasn't her chewing them out, though. She was pacing back and forth in front of where they sat on their own couches with her hands on her hips and fury on her face. She wasn't angry at us, though. Nope. It seemed another man had pissed in her cereal that morning.<br /> "This is just the cherry on the cake. Why not get a scar to memorialize the day I walked in on my boyfriend cheating on me? I'm so angry I could punch him in the manhood."<br /> I swear all three of us males cringed. I also had to rearrange my thinking. She was no Disney princess. She had spunk, to say the least.<br /> "She had the nerve to brag about his oral skills. Please. I literally have had better climaxs humping my hand. Either her needs are rock bottom, which is great for her if that's the case, or she was just lying to try to hurt me. I'm embarrassed, sure! It's not everyday you walk in on your boyfriend motorboating Miriam Dark's private part lips, but whatever. I'm just pissed. I came all the way here. I shaved. I put lotion on every inch of my body. Even the backs of my knees. Did I care that they're going to get sweaty faster now? Nope. I wanted to be smooth."<br /> I leaned against the doorway and let myself really look at her. She was taller than I'd thought and had legs that stretched on for miles. The black jeans hugged her full hip and hips in a way that made my mouth water. Her waist clipped in just enough that my hands would fit in the notch perfectly if I was taking her from behind. Her shirt made her full breasts look even more delicious while she was standing and I was at half-mast almost immediately.<br /> Her body, as stunning as it was, nearly touched on the beauty that was her face. Her big blue eyes were surrounded by dark eyelashes and her pouty mouth was stained red. She had dark brown hair down to her shoulders that curled wildly. If she hadn't been swearing, her creamy skin would've really made her look like a Disney princess. She could've probably gone down to Florida and got a job playing one of them right then. I'd never been attracted to a Disney princess before, though.<br /> "And you want to know the worst part? I work for the stupid prick. And no, before anyone has the jackass assumption that I'm sleeping my way into my position, I'm not. I'm better at his job than he is and I've been sticking around for even longer than I should've because he kept promising that he'd put in a good word with his boss for me. Because I deserve it. I do his work. I can't remember the last time he's had to do a single thing. At least he chose to sleep with Miriam himself. Although, I'm pretty sure I'd be better at that, too."<br /> Jones snorted and held up his hands when the little firecracker spun on him. "I'm not disagreeing with you, honey. I'm just enjoying hearing you eviscerate this manhoodhead."<br /> She stared at him and slowly her face darkened and she brought her hand up to cover her mouth. She looked absolutely distressed and I hated it.<br /> "What's wrong?" I made myself known and was rewarded with watching her eyes trail down my chest. The way her eyes got all bedroom heavy and she licked her lips turned that almost solid shaft into a full blown shaft. I had to shift to hide it from her curious eyes.<br /> She glanced back at Jones and then at Xavier. "Oh."<br /> Xavier stood up and inched towards her. "Are you okay? Your head... Is it hurting?"<br /> She looked up at him and I saw the way her body naturally swayed towards my giant of a best friend. Something about that made me want to hug her. Some women treated Xavier and his size like a threat and it hurt him. "Oh. I can't believe I didn't realize before now. You're JAX."<br /> Jones sighed and nodded. "Yep."<br /> She pushed her curls back from her face. "Don't worry. I'm not going to fangirl. I'm just mortified. I work for your record label and this is now the most unprofessional vacation I've ever taken. I have to go. Can you just forget you ever saw me?" | Libb002 | 48 | https://facebook.com/61551403614101 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Kayan<br /> I was betrayed by two people I trusted implicitly, my best friend and my fiancรฉ, or so i thought.<br /> Without saying a word, I bent down and picked up my phone. By this time Dimitri had donned his boxers and his slim fit navy dress pants. Mariana on the other hand was gripping the white sheet, trying to cover her body and was sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> Normally her tears would have stirred some sort of emotion but I felt absolutely nothing looking at her.<br /> Dimitri stepped towards me with his outstretched hand but I stepped back, and when I spoke my own voice surprised me.<br /> Two words, " How long?". I stared at both of them expectantly. Dimitri sighed and rubbed his face, looking at me with regret.<br /> When no response was forthcoming from him, I turned to Mariana and pinned her with a glare. " Shut up Mariana! I asked a question and I need an answer now!" I shouted.<br /> She pulled her knees to her chest as her body shook in fear, she had only seen me angry once so she knew not to taunt me. Dimitri on the other hand, was stunned.<br /> She looked at me and stuttered in fear " S....si...six months", and hung her head low. I absorbed her reply, laughed hysterically, which caught both of them by surprise. They looked at each other shrugging their shoulders and just as I started laughing suddenly, I stopped abruptly.<br /> "Six months you say? I guess this is the part where you'll say it was a mistake, you never meant to hurt me and you're both sorry right?." I spoke calmly, surprising myself.<br /> Dimitri was first to speak " Kay, please I'm so sorry. We were both tipsy after your work anniversary party,and after I dropped her off, everything went to terrible. I'm so sorry baby but..." I laughed again, cutting him off mid sentence.<br /> I held my hand up then turned to Mariana" What about you bimbo, any last words?" Her eyes bulged in fear and I watched her squirm in fear. She knew I could put a bullet between her eyes even with my eyes closed , thanks to my Dad taking me to the pistol range every Saturday for 2 years.<br /> She sprung to her knees, the sheet fell exposing her and I saw all the hickeys along her neck and on her breasts. "Kay please, let's talk about this. I'm so sorry and I regret this. I'm so sorry for hurting you like this, it wasn't planned."<br /> The nerve of this woman, I thought. I should have listened to my gut all those months ago. She kept thwarting our plans, started traveling a lot and would barely take my video calls then. And she kept changing or bashing my wedding plans and like a fool, I brushed it aside.<br /> Dimitri was the same, one business trip after another, late nights and then he was distant. When I asked him about it, he promised to do better than what he did, but there was a subtle change. We no longer have sleep.<br /> Both of them looked at me expectantly, waiting for the weak, docile Kayan to shed tears and assure them everything would be okay.<br /> I dropped my phone into my bag, grabbed my pistol and clicked the safety off. I swiftly fired two rounds which were followed by agonizing screams. I shot Dimitri in his thigh just inches from his shaft while Mariana got hers in her right shoulder. Just enough to cause pain but not be fatal.<br /> I walked out the room but turned to them saying " That's for the betrayal, I never want to see or hear from either of you again. The next time you won't be so lucky."<br /> I descended the stairs shakily, I touched my face checking for tears but there were none. My chest was convulsing but I refused to give in to the pain I was feeling.<br /> As I got to the last step, I looked around, marched over to the fireplace and threw all photos she had of us together into it. I lifted the stoker, broke her 60" Samsung TV and everything went red from thereon. I trashed her apartment then walked out as if nothing happened.<br /> I grabbed my baseball bat from my trunk, smashed all her windows and doors. Just as I about to leave, I saw Dimitri's Silver Range Rover across the street.<br /> How didn't I notice it before?<br /> I walked up to it and repeated my actions. When I was satisfied, I hopped into my van and drove away.<br /> ---- <br /> Dimitri<br /> I couldn't believe Kayan shot us and simply walked away. I had known her for over 6 years but I never encountered this side of her. I knew I deserved that, worst of all, I ruined the one good thing I had done.<br /> I was thinking with my shaft and not my brain, because in assessing the current situation, Mariana was just a good woman. There is attraction, but the feelings I have for Kayan are deeper.<br /> Her sobs reverberated around the bedroom , bringing me back to the current situation.<br /> When Kayan left the room, I heard her trashing Mariana's apartment downstairs and was about to go after her.<br /> Mariana's words stopped me dead in my tracks, "Leave her be, Dimitri, she will kill you! She needs to calm down first before we approach her." I turned to her slowly, trying to ignore the pain and blood gushing from my wound.<br /> "What do you mean Mari? I'm going after her! There is no us. This was a mistake. I need to talk to her!" I ran my hands over my face then slid my belt around my leg making a tourniquet.<br /> She slid off the bed, gripping the sheet with her uninjured shoulder. " Take it from me, we're lucky to be alive! You have never seen her upset or know what she's capable of in this state but I do!" She tiptoed to the door listening for any further sound from downstairs, but was greeted with silence.<br /> Mariana sat on the stairs shaking and crying while gripping her disheveled hair.<br /> The front door was ajar, I moved to lock it but the sight of Mariana's car took my breath away. I looked across the street to mine and it looked even worst.<br /> I shook my head, sighed and turned too quickly, causing a searing pain in the bullet wound.<br /> I called my driver Michael and told him to be quick and discreet.<br /> Mariana got dressed in the meantime while we waited with bated breaths.<br /> Michael arrived in about 10 minutes, his eyes expressed shock but he knew better than to ask any questions.<br /> He drove us to Wyckoff Medical, the only place I knew would be discreet about what happened.<br /> Using the back entrance, we were quickly ushered into separate rooms for assessment.<br /> As I laid on the bed, I felt Dr. Green prodding my wound for the bullet. He's been our family physician since I was a child, so when he asked who I pissed off this time , I sighed and ignored him.<br /> All I could think about was Kayan, she was my everything!<br /> Not anymore you prick, you screwed up and you're lucky to be alive, I shook my head, trying to shake guilt ridden thoughts from my subconscious.<br /> I reminisced on all the times we spent together, the plans we made for our future and our kids. I reflected on how she supported me even when my own father doubted me. She never gave up on me. You shut up Dimitri!<br /> Dr. Green waved his hand above my eyes while calling my name. " Did you hear anything I said just now?" he asked quietly.<br /> I sighed " No, what is it?". My tone was clipped but right now I didn't care, I could apologize later.<br /> He rolled his eyes before continuing "I said there's a detective waiting outside to talk to you, you know it's my duty to report this." He grabbed a scissors and cut the thread, signaling that he had finished stitching my wound.<br /> "You'll live, but stay off your feet for a few days, and use a crutch if you have to move around." Dr. Green bandaged my leg and was about to leave when I stopped him.<br /> "Wait, I apologize for my behavior Doc. Where's the young lady who came in with me? I need to see her now." He looked at me sadly, shook his head and left the room without a word.<br /> My guess is he figured out why Kayan hadn't rushed into the hospital demanding answers. The realization hit me of how I not only disappointed Kayan but everyone close to me, especially my parents. <br /> I must have dosed off from the pain medication I had gotten as I was woken up by Mariana gently shaking my shoulder and calling my name.<br /> Blinking my eyes to adjust to the bright lights, I grabbed the remote and adjusted my bed. Mariana looked terrible, her hair was unkempt and her eyes were swollen. Her right arm was bandaged and now in a sling.<br /> She sat in the chair beside the bed and hung her head low. " I spoke to the police, I told them we were mugged at the apartment as we were trying to finalize wedding arrangements." It was barely a whisper, but I sighed in relief.<br /> "We messed up but I agree, I'll tell them the same thing. Kayan doesn't deserve this." My throat felt hoarse so I reached for a tumbler with water, poured a cup and took several sips.<br /> " I told you we needed to stop Dimitri but you insisted on coming over!" I pinned her with a glare which caused her to shut up immediately.<br /> The nerve of this woman! I laughed coldly before turning to her " Oh so now it's my fault Mar? Surely you weren't complaining when I rammed your wet dripping private part with my shaft right? You never said stop! Anything else I'm forgetting?" My chest was heaving by the time I finished ranting.<br /> I was about to continue but her sobs erupted. She looked at me lost, guilt etched across her face before she stood to leave.<br /> "Look Mar, I'm sorry okay. I just don't know what to do." I held her wrist, my thumb caressing the inside of her hand in a comforting way. "How did she get in though?"<br /> Mariana was trembling as tears streamed down her face. She took a deep breath before she spoke. "I forgot she had a key from over a year ago. She would always check the place when I traveled for a convention or went to see my family."<br /> My mouth opened to speak but no words were forthcoming and they never came as the door banged open, slamming into the wall denting it.<br /> Jumping with fright, we turned to see my very pissed off father and my distraught mother. Before I could utter a word, he spoke," You, get out now and don't let me see your face again!" Mariana jumped in fear and ran from the room sobbing before I could stop her.<br /> "Dad i can explain...." He slammed his hand onto the small table, knocking the tumbler over.<br /> My mom grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down but he flicked her hand away and grabbed my hospital gown roughly, "Explain what exactly Dimitri? How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> "I'm going to fix this Dad, just give me a chance please." I turned towards my mom seeking support but she turned her head away from me. " Mom, please I'm sorry, I'll fix this. I'm gonna make everything right."<br /> My Dad simply scoffed at my words, took my Mom's hands and walked out the door.<br /> The only sound that filled the room was that of the water droplets bouncing on the floor.<br /> ---- <br /> Mariana<br /> I have never been more regretful in my entire life. My head was throbbing non stop, my eyes were puffy from all the tears I'd shed in the past 24 hours. My mind replayed the events and all I could think of, was that I should be dead by Kayan's hands.<br /> My driver dropped me off to the apartment, and as I stepped inside I once again surveyed the damage. Nothing was left untouched, I had to start over but I guess that's the price to pay for stabbing your best friend in the back for six months.<br /> I wanted to stop so many times, I knew it was wrong but Dimitri was like a spirit I couldn't get enough of.<br /> We decided to take the secret to our graves and everything was going great until I saw him a week later at Danny's Cafe. We sat and talked for a while but after an hour when we attempted to leave, the sexual tension was just too much to ignore.<br /> From thereon, we used our lunch breaks and any free time we could muster to screw each other senseless. After each encounter, we'd say it was the last time , but that never happened as soon after I took trips when he did or he came to my apartment before going home.<br /> All this time, I gave Kayan a million excuses as to why we couldn't meet up, continued planning her wedding virtually and offered excuses when she whined about Dimitri being overly consumed by work.<br /> I even ended things with my own boyfriend as our relationship became strained and miserable because of my infidelity.<br /> Now this is the endgame, I lost my best friend who always stood by me and I'm pretty sure Dimitri and I have no future.<br /> Sitting on the stairs, I decided to take a leap of faith and call Kayan. If I could just get her to listen to me for a second, I would tell her how sorry I am and try to fix things.<br /> As I dialed her number, it went directly to voice-mail, and after trying a few more times unsuccessfully, I decided to go see her. I ordered an Uber, waiting outside for a few minutes before the car pulled up.<br /> I got in, gave the driver her address and stared blankly out the window. The only sounds were that of the music playing in the dashboard.<br /> Ten minutes later, I was standing on the curb outside Kayan's townhouse. Hesitantly, I opened the gate, trudged up the steps and rang the bell. I was there waiting for a few minutes, I called her but there was no response.<br /> I walked to the garden by the lamp post where she always hid a spare key. It was gone.<br /> Just as I was about to step from the yard, I was stopped in my tracks by a faint voice. My hopes increased but when I turned around expecting Kayan, no one was there.<br /> What was that then, I thought to myself.<br /> I reopened the Uber app, placed my request and waited by the curb.<br /> "She's not here you know." I was startled by the voice and was relieved to see her neighbor Michael.<br /> "What do you mean? Where is she?" I asked hurriedly.<br /> He eyed me suspiciously before replying,<br /> "Seeing you here looking like poop tells me you had a role in Kay's sudden departure 2 hours ago." His words were true yet hurtful, I castedmy eyes down in shame.<br /> "You don't know, Mike, just tell me where she went, I need to talk to her before it's too late" I begged him.<br /> The prick was nonchalant as he leant against her gate typing away on his phone. After getting a ping, indicating a message, he looked up at me smirking.<br /> "Well if you must know, my girl left for England indefinitely..." he paused, struggling to hold back a snicker, "...Oh and she says you should go yourself or Dimatro, whatever the pretty boy's name is." Michael was now clutching his side laughing hysterically while I sighed in defeat.<br /> She's gone! And now there's no way I will find her because I can't go to her family and I'm pretty sure she's already changed her number!<br /> I didn't warrant Michael a response since the Uber pulled up, I hopped in and left.<br /> My phone began vibrating in my pocket and I grabbed it quickly, just hoping it would be Kayan. I was disappointed as Dimitri's name flashed on the screen.<br /> "What do you want Dimitri? Haven't we done enough, didn't you hear what your father said?" I shouted angrily, catching sight of the driver's raised brows in the rear view mirror.<br /> "Calm down Mari, I wanted to apologize for my Dad. I'm getting discharged now so I'm heading home, I need to sort things out with Kay." Though I had wanted the same thing minutes ago, I couldn't help the pang of jealousy that gripped me.<br /> Before I could stop myself I snarled in response<br /> "Thanks for asking how I'm doing you prick! Oh and don't bother going there because she's gone!"<br /> "What are you talking about Mari! This is not the time to joke with me..." I'd had enough of his nonsense so I cut him mid sentence " Kay's gone Dimitri, I just left the house, she's not home and her neighbor says she left for England." The other end of the line was silent.<br /> I looked at the screen to see if the call had been disconnected but the line was still open.<br /> "Dimitri?" He sighed in response and I heard him grunt in pain, perhaps moving too quickly on his injured leg.<br /> "I'm here Mari. How will I fix things if I don't know where to find her? Of all the places, she had to chose England!? Couldn't she have just gone to her parents? What am I going to do now?"<br /> I wanted to speak but my throat felt as if it was clogged.<br /> I cut the call, switched to airplane mode and rested my head against the window as fresh salty tears rolled down my cheeks.<br /> I lost everything.<br /> My best friend. Dimitri . And a family who accepted me without judgement and showed me nothing but love all these years. | Lio111 | 16 | https://facebook.com/61554822209907 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

And we believe you are someone really special for my older brother, so, we got you the VIP room."<br /> How am I special? <br /> His gentle voice really has a way to make people feel calm and weary at the same time. Why does it look so familiar?<br /> Oh, Moon Goddess.<br /> He's one of the Black brothers! And saying I'm special to his older brother means...<br /> Mate!<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> "Give it to me, I said"<br /> I shake my head, confused.<br /> "I don't have anything, I swear! He didn't give me anything, Alec, he really didn't! You know he gives it all to you!"<br /> He growls in anger, but I keep shaking my head. What is wrong with him? I just got back from work, and he started searching for me, even emptied the content of my bag on the floor, and now he keeps asking me for the money. What money? He knows Robert gives him all of my salaries! I never see a single cent I work so hard for!<br /> Even the customer's tips, Robert just takes it from me as soon as my shift is over! I could never hide any of it! And Moon Goddess knows I wish I could!<br /> "Why do you ask? Do ... Do you have money issues again?" I ask<br /> He glares back at me, furious.<br /> "Again? Isn't that your fault I'm ruined! You are just a waste of money! How can I ever live in peace if I have to use all of my money on you! Can't you work harder? How am I supposed to make it through with this measly paycheck you get?"<br /> I'm astounded by his words. How dare he? I work like a slave all day and night! The Alpha makes me do all the chores for the pack, from cooking to laundry, cleaning the whole house, on my own. And Alec got me this job at the local pub when I was fifteen, making me work those crazy shifts for half of the night! I can only get a few hours of rest at night, and it is never enough.<br /> He, on the other hand, never had a proper job. He is twenty-three, but Alec says he doesn't need a job because he has to focus on the pack, for when he will be chosen as the next Beta. As if that would ever happen. Even I know there is no way my brother will ever get that position. No decent Alpha would ever appoint someone so lazy and self-centered as a beta.<br /> However, my brother is convinced of it. And that only makes me act even more arrogantly and unreasonably. He just spends money whenever he wants and shows off in front of his friends while I have to watch. That money is the one I earn with my sweat, and yet he is the one who spends it. How can he pretend I'm the one he uses it on? I don't own anything but a few clothes! I don't even have a bed, and I have to try and sneak out some leftovers to be able to eat.<br /> So why is it that now he is now interrogating me like I'm some thief?<br /> "Anyway, you will be working tomorrow night."<br /> "What? But I haven't had a day off in weeks! And the Alpha wants me to make dinner, someone from another pack is coming! I will never make it in time if..."<br /> "I don't care! It's your problem, not mine! You will go to work, and I'll kill you if you don't! And the Alpha better not be angry at me because of you!"<br /> I stand there, shocked as he exits the room. What is wrong with him? He has never told me to do anything that might upset the Alpha, and now he wants me to go to work? Either he or the Alpha, one of them will be mad at me!<br /> I take my head in my hands, so lost. What do I do now? The Alpha was so adamant about me preparing all of this diner! Some big shot from the Blood Moon pack is coming, that is big for our pack, he will never forgive me if I don't help him welcome them.<br /> I try to sleep, but I'm too worried.<br /> What is wrong with my brother? I have seen him in need of money, but now, he acts like he has gone crazy! He was even searching in the basement when I came home, looking for any money. When I escaped him, I heard him ask Amber for cash. What kind of trouble did he get into this time? I don't like this.<br /> What will I do tomorrow? I can't do both! My shift starts at four, and the diner has to be ready at nine. Should I do as Vince said and skip work or obey Alec? None of them we let me off.<br /> Vince hates me as well, and never hesitates to beat me. I fear his beating more than I fear my brother's; he is way too strong.<br /> Either way, this won't end well for me.<br /> ---<br /> "I won't go," I say<br /> I'm shaking, but I won't change my mind. Alec stares at me with a furious look. I ignore him. I may be afraid of him, but the Alpha's wrath is even scarier.<br /> "What, did you say you won't go? You just shut up and go already; I am not asking for your opinion! You prick!"<br /> I bite my lip and clench my fist holding the spoon. I try to focus on those appetizers, ignoring the furious eyes of my brother. Alec starts yelling at me, as I expected. I can take his insults.<br /> He slaps me, but I don't care. I ignore the pain and keep making those toasts. A new slap, and one of the appetizers falls on the floor. Don't look at him, don't. Keep going.<br /> "You are gonna go to work right now!" He yells in the kitchen.<br /> No, I won't. I know it's no use talking back, so I don't. Even my wolf is proud of me. She is being fierce, showing her teeth, sharing her strength with me. We won't submit to him.<br /> If I don't make this dinner a success for the Alpha, not only Vince, but the whole pack will be mad at me. I know how merciless the Blood Moon pack can be. That is no joke. Everyone still vividly remembers how they destroyed the Snow Moon Clan two years ago. They didn't just fight them; they killed all of those who didn't pledge allegiance to the Blood Moon emblem.<br /> Compared to that kind of threat, those of my brother are definitely not as fearsome.<br /> He keeps the yelling going, but I ignore him. He slaps me a couple of times, pissed, but that won't work. When he suddenly stops, I raise my head, surprised. The Alpha, Vince, just entered the kitchen.<br /> "What's going on here?" Vince asks. "I can hear you all the way from my office, Alec, keep it down."<br /> "Nothing, Alpha. Just telling this eyesore to work faster..."<br /> "You mind your own business! I need your sister working. Leave her be and stop hindering her work. Do you want to be useful? Go help Greg and Margaret upstairs. And shut up!"<br /> Alec glares at me, but how is it my fault now? He has no choice but to obey and exits the kitchen, towards the stairs. Vince looks at me with disdain and peeks a glance at my work so far. It's not much, but it's not even 4 pm yet, and I know I'm going to be ready on time. Without saying anything, he exits the room. Apparently, he recognizes I've been working diligently and won't get mad. I let out a sigh of relief and go back to my task. At least now I know Alec won't dare to come back here.<br /> The hours go by, and I can feel the tension rising within our pack's building. Everyone is anxious about this meeting. Vince came down to check on my work five times within the last two hours. But I am proud of everything I have done and even feel rather confident about the dinner.<br /> "Nora! Stop daydreaming!"<br /> "So... Sorry Alpha. But I'm almost done!" I defend myself, showing the completed dishes.<br /> Vince nods, but won't compliment me. Then, he takes a look at me and clicks his tongue. I glance down. I spent all afternoon cooking, and thus, my clothes were dirtied. They weren't pretty, to begin with, but now... I look like a beggar. Even my hair is messy.<br /> "I will change into new clothes as soon as I'm done."<br /> "Whatever. Just go to your room and don't you dare come out tonight. I don't need the Blood Moon leaders to see your... face."<br /> His eyes are set on where my scar is, behind my hair. I was careful to braid my hair the right way so my curls would hide it, but it's no use, he knows it's there. I avoid his gaze and lower my head.<br /> At the same time, a group of pack members walks by to go to the recreation room, laughing and jokingly pushing one another. Alec is among them, and he stops as soon as he sees me. He goes from a smile to a pissed-off look in no time and keeps glaring at me as long as our eyes meet. I know my brother still thinks about this shift, but it's way too late now. I wonder why he wanted tonight's money so badly. Is he having money issues again?<br /> But he can't say anything right now; Vince is still facing me and watching my every move like a hawk, making sure I finish in time. I feel, however, that this will only delay Alec's punishment for opposing him...<br /> An hour later, I'm in the kitchen with my completed dishes, giving instructions.<br /> "...And this is called crรจme brรปlรฉe. All you need to do is burn the sugar on top a little when you serve it, like I just did."<br /> Jill and Maria are frowning, trying to remember it all. They will be the ones to serve tonight, as Vince doesn't want anyone that is not part of the pack to see me. Jill and Maria are my age, but they are way prettier, though they are not really smart.<br /> "Wait, why did you have to make a Russian dessert?" Asks Maria while playing with her blonde hair<br /> "It's not Russian, it's French! Vince said the main Family is originally from France, so..."<br /> They give me suspicious stares, but I don't care. All I need is for them to remember a few names and how to serve it!<br /> Thankfully, about twenty minutes later, I think they finally get it. I hope so... They leave upstairs to get ready, and I can finally clean the kitchen.<br /> It's almost time. Everyone is ready, and it is time for me to go hide in the basement. I'm so exhausted from cooking all afternoon, I just lay flat on my familiar couch.<br /> I'm about to fall asleep when I can hear them. The people from the Blood Moon Clan are here!<br /> I get up, totally awake, and run across the room to the small window. I climb on top of a rundown drawer to reach the opening. I have to stand on my toes to actually get to see something. My eyes are at ground level, and, for a while, all I can distinguish are feet and paws. But I can clearly hear Vince's voice.<br /> "Welcome! Welcome to the Jade Moon Den. I am Vincent Greene, and this is my Beta, Peter."<br /> I can distinguish his big brown boots among the crowd, and Peter, in his wolf form, next to him. Actually, a few members of our pack shapeshifted, too, prior to the guests' arrival, just in case... I suppose both sides can't trust the other.<br /> However, facing them, the Blood Moon pack members are easy to recognize, even from my position: They are all in human form, and wearing dark suits and classy black leather shoes. Look like some mafia has arrived! I'm shocked not a single one of them is in their wolf form. Are they that confident? Or just trying to act arrogantly? One of them answers, with a nice and gentle voice I didn't expect.<br /> "Thank you for having us. You have a lovely turf indeed... How lucky of you to be able to enjoy a run in the forest anytime you want."<br /> His tone is peaceful, so why is it his words seem so... menacing? I feel like he is threatening instead of thanking! Vince must be tense, but he won't show it.<br /> "Oh, we are very attached to our land. My family has protected it for generations. But the forest is everyone's, of course, so please do not hesitate to come whenever you want to escape the city!"<br /> I don't believe they would wait for permission...<br /> Vince finally invites them in, and I leave my spot to go put my ear against the door. The basement is next to the kitchen and pretty close to the dining hall. I can hear all the chatting as they go by, with Vince introducing some pack members and showing them the way. Actually, he is the only one talking; none of the Blood Moon can be heard. I wonder what they look like...<br /> I listen to them enter the dining hall, and then the kitchen goes quiet.<br /> Meanwhile, I change quickly into some clean clothes. I grab a clean pair of jeans that I have left in the old wardrobe and put on a dark blue sweater that's too big on me, but never mind. At least I feel clean.<br /> I'm putting my messy hair into a low bun when I hear some steps coming from the kitchen. Jill and Maria came to take the first plates, chatting as always.<br /> "Gosh, I could barely breathe in there; everyone is so tense! If only they would relax a little," says Maria.<br /> "Oh, I wish I could relax with that Nathaniel guy. I'm sure he's a wild beast behind the pretty boy look..."<br /> "Keep your paws off, girl. Amber already is eyeing him. That girl is such a woman... But even without her, I wouldn't go near one of them. Those Black brothers are scary. I mean, those guys killed their own father and Alpha!"<br /> "And it's only two of them here. But I heard the oldest brother is the worst; he is the crazy one of the lot. Okay, you got all of them?" Jill whispers.<br /> They go back, and the kitchen goes silent again. Did they really kill their Alpha father? I didn't know that part! No wonder everyone is so afraid of them... Jill and Maria come and go again in the kitchen, but the chatting is reduced to them trying to remember what they are serving. It's nerve-wracking to hear them struggle when I'm just behind the door, but I can't disobey Vincent's orders just to help those two!<br /> Thankfully, it seems the dinner goes well. I can hear everyone exiting the dining room, and their voices reach me again when they go out. It's dark by now, but never mind, I can still hear them talking.<br /> "....was impressed. It's been a while since we've enjoyed some authentic French cuisine," says the guy from earlier.<br /> They liked it! I find myself smiling and let out a sigh of relief, as Jill and Maria never said a thing about the guests' impressions for the whole dinner.<br /> "Glad you enjoyed it! It was our honor to have you here tonight."<br /> "Surely our brother is going to regret missing this. Who knew the Jade Moon Clan had such cooking-skilled members... By the way, you have exquisite ladies here."<br /> Vince must be overjoyed. This is the same as saying they would agree to let our packs members court each other, an excellent way to improve relationships.<br /> "Hey. Is that all your girls?" Says a voice I haven't heard before.<br /> Judging from his arrogant tone, that must be the other brother. What's with his question? He sounds so disdainful!<br /> "Hmm, well, yes. You've seen all our young girls who have yet to find their mate tonight..."<br /> "Never mind. Let's leave."<br /> They exchange a few greetings and soon leave. I can hear some of our pack members letting out sighs of relief.<br /> "What's with this attitude of his?! Are we not pretty enough now?" Growls Amber.<br /> "None of the Black Brothers has a mate yet. Maybe they were also looking for some prospect wife..." Says Lily, Vince's fiancรฉe.<br /> "Anyway, that went well. We should be content with that alone. I don't want any issues with the Blood Moon Clan. Their brother is pissed at the Sapphire Moon Clan these days, and trust me. No one wants to take their place..."<br /> I step down, as Vince is now just giving orders for the patrols. What a night... Even without being in the room, I was still on edge because of this dinner. Again, I wonder why those brothers and their guard bothered to come all the way here. They own half of the city and scare the other half. Are they interested in the outskirts of the city now?<br /> I just keep thinking about the dark rumors surrounding those three Black brothers, and slowly fall into a deep sleep...<br /> ---<br /> Something's wrong with my brother.<br /> "Nora, come here."<br /> "Alec!"<br /> My brother is here! He's in the kitchen, fidgeting and looking at me with a weird look. I approach him cautiously. He doesn't look drunk, that's a relief. I was thinking he might have been drinking, but he seems pretty neat and sober. All of a sudden, he hands me what he's been holding in his hands. Isn't that... one of our mother's dresses! I recognize the beautiful embroidery and the lace on the back. I didn't even know he had it!<br /> "I found this. Just put it on."<br /> Is this supposed to be a... present? He's frowning and won't look at it. I am not sure about what to do. Isn't this dress too thin for the season? Why would I put on such a pretty and daring dress here and now? But all of a sudden, my hesitation angers him.<br /> "Just put this thing on, I said!"<br /> He violently slaps me, making me step back. I don't answer and flee down to the basement to obey. I don't want to get hit a second time.<br /> I get dressed in front of the mirror, but my reflection is... unsettling. This dress is pretty, long and sleeveless, with lace at the back to find a corset-like style. The pure white doesn't look too good on my pallid and bruised skin. And it's mother's...<br /> "How long do you need to put on a dress?!"<br /> Alec comes down without warning and looks at me, visibly pissed. Seeing that I'm done, he runs up to me and grabs me by the arm without a word. I try resisting, but he's way stronger. He takes me out of the house and starts walking toward the city.<br /> "Wait, Alec, stop! I can't go out looking like this! What are you doing?! Stop!"<br /> He stops, and I get a new slap, a second, and a third, one after another.<br /> "Will you shut up?! I don't care! Just shut up and walk!"<br /> I don't dare to say a word anymore. I don't want any more hits, but where are we going?! I'm barefooted, and he makes me walk looking like this in the open! I am starting to get really scared of what's coming now. He makes sure we avoid the rest of the pack, making us take the long way around the houses. Everyone is having dinner, is that why he only came now? To avoid others? I don't like this...<br /> Twenty minutes later, we finally enter one of the buildings in the outskirts of the city. I know this one: It belongs to our Jade Moon Clan, so a few pack members live here. Who are we meeting, then? Without a word, he pushes me into the elevator, and finally lets my arm go. I'm freezing, and my arm aches...<br /> "Alec, what's going on? Why are we here?"<br /> "Settling my debts."<br /> "What, how?"<br /> He doesn't answer and pushes me to the sixth floor. He grabs me again as he sees me hesitating, and pushes me before him. I trip and almost fall on my knees as we enter one of the apartments, and when I raise my head, I see Marcus.<br /> Marcus, staring at me with a grin, half-undressed.<br /> "There you go," says Alec.<br /> "Wait, what? Alec, what is this?" I ask, panicked.<br /> Oh Moon Goddess, no, no, no.<br /> Marcus won't keep his hungry eyes off me, and my brother looks so... detached.<br /> "I told you, we are settling my debts. Marcus will do that."<br /> "Exactly, sweetheart. Now you are going to be a good girl and let me have my fun, and your brother walks out with all that money he needs. How great is that?!" Exclaims Marcus, with a broad smile.<br /> Have they gone crazy?! I don't want to spend even a minute with this lecherous dog! And now he wants to sell me to this old for money? What?!<br /> "No, no, I'm going," I say, turning back to the door.<br /> But Alec is in my way and grabs my arm forcefully.<br /> "Stop it, Nora! All you have to do is let him drill you and our money problems are over! What, are you going to say you don't want to? You think I give you?! But look, we need that money, so you're gonna be a good girl and..."<br /> "And screw you, Alec!" I explode. "What money problems? You're the one who got in trouble in the first place! Why do I have to do this?! I don't get a single cent for myself! Now you want to make me pay for the money I earned and you stupidly wasted? No way I'm doing this!"<br /> He hits me violently โ a full punch, throwing me on the floor. I land painfully on my arms, letting out a cry.<br /> "Shut up! Whose fault is it I'm broke in the first place! Who made me an orphan, huh? You freak!"<br /> He grabs me by the hair, forcefully making me stand on my knees, and looks at me with those crazy eyes.<br /> "You're going to do it, Nora. You're going to be the prick you are and have slept with Marcus. And after that, you better not complain, not a word, because if you do, I will kill you for good this time, you hear me?"<br /> He lets me go, and storms out, slamming the door behind him.<br /> He has gone mad. I'm shaking all over, from the panic and the shock combined. What nightmare is this?<br /> "Well, well, well.... It seems like you have your orders, now. So let's be a good girl, Nora. I'm paying your brother a good sum to have my way with you, so don't you play hard to get now."<br /> I don't want this pork anywhere near me, and there is no way I'm going to let him touch me in any way. My wolf is growling like crazy inside, ready to defend herself.<br /> No way.<br /> ---<br /> I slowly open my eyes.<br /> Such a high ceiling... Where am I?<br /> I turn my head. I'm in the biggest bed I've ever seen. I'm surrounded by medical monitors and it looks like a hospital bed, but... Brick red walls, wood flooring, and fancy furniture? The room is so huge, thirty people could fit in. But there's only three.<br /> A woman and a man are chatting on a sofa, and a younger guy is sitting to the side in a chair, resting his feet on a table and playing with a smartphone.<br /> "Oh, I think she's awake! "<br /> I can't talk, so the man brings me a notepad and a pen from the table. I write down my name.<br /> "Nora Bluemoon," he reads out loud. "A pretty name."<br /> He looks like our mate. I feel as if my wolf is saying this.<br /> Wait, what now? How do you know he does?<br /> But she goes silent again. It makes no sense. We have yet to meet him, so how would we know if he looks like our mate?<br /> While I'm trying to understand, some vague memory of a pair of silver eyes flashes, and I realize this guy as almost the same eyes. Only his are not really silver, but more of a blue-ish grey. Was that just a dream? Or did someone else really come to visit us while I was unconscious?<br /> I grab the pen once again to write my questions, and show them to Tonia.<br /> "Why are you here? Well, you were in really bad shape when we found you."<br /> "I don't think that's what she means, Tonia."<br /> The man addresses me, standing still next to my bed. "The hospital belongs to my family, so that's why Tonia brought you here. And we believe you are someone really special for my older brother, so, we got you the VIP room."<br /> How am I special? And how rich must his family be to own the General Hospital? I didn't even know hospitals could be bought or had VIP rooms until now.<br /> His gentle voice really has a way to make people feel calm and weary at the same time. Why does it look so familiar?<br /> Oh, Moon Goddess.<br /> I know where I've met him before. He was at the meeting with the Blood Moon Clan!<br /> He's one of the Black brothers! And saying I'm special to his older brother means...<br /> Mate! | HHitt013 | 38 | https://facebook.com/100094431461254 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

You won't talk to me, and every time I get close to you, you scurry away." He put his hands in his pockets.<br /> "Christian, there is nothing to talk about. I don't have time for your gibberish. Don't you have other girls to bother? What can you possibly talk to me about? !" I was losing my cool.<br /> "Natalie, I like you a lot." His eyes were getting dark. That look, there it was again. Desire? "CHRISTIAN!" I yelled. "Spit it out now! What did you come here fโ" Before I could finish my statement, he slammed his lips on me.<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> ~Christian's POV~<br /> Last night I heard my parents talking about Natalie coming home. I knew they were talking about Natalie Adams, the one girl who was untouchable or unapproachable. That vixen thought she was hiding in the shadows but I saw her.<br /> The thing is that she didn't realize how badly guys wanted her. Even if they came up to her it was funny because she would stare at them like they were stupid and her resting b-face said it all. She didn't even have to respond, and because of that they never approached her again. Talk about painted black. I think that was the color of her soul.<br /> The girl was beyond gorgeous. Every time she walked in a classroom or the cafeteria, her dark and mysterious demeanor attracted anyone. She would never know, because when you saw her with her earbuds on, it's as if Natalie was always in her own world.<br /> I wonder where she goes every summer because I never saw her around the pack when school was finished. I was thinking about asking my parents, but that will have to wait.<br /> I was always surrounded or being approached by girls, it never failed. I've slept around and I wasn't ashamed of it because I am an Alpha and an Alpha needs that release. I did have an ex-girlfriend that seemed to not know the meaning of "ex". Elle was always around when I needed an easy contact.<br /> She was Zeo Wilson's sister, our future beta, and was captain of the cheerleader squad. This girl would sometimes scare the other girls away and acted like she owned me. The girl is hot but has a nasty attitude and thinks highly of herself. No shame whatsoever.<br /> Natalie, however, she was the one girl I was profoundly attracted to. I wanted to feel and taste her. She had this strong aura around her and that confused me because I know her parents are warriors, but there was this ambience about her that made me want her more than any other she wolf. Just maybe, maybe she could be my fated mate.<br /> I went on Instagram and just like I assumed, she has her account in private, so you can only see her profile picture. It was a set of earbuds on top of a book in black and white. This girl was fascinating. I wanted to know her so badlyโฆall of her.<br /> I mean come on, who wouldn't want a piece of me. I'm 6 '6, muscular, I have the lightest gray eyes with dirty blonde hair, medium on the top and short sides. I'm every girl's wet dream. I've been told I look like the younger version of Christopher Egan. I'm better looking though.<br /> So I did what I have never done with any other girl. I sent her a friend request on Instagram. "Now the waiting game begins."<br /> ~Natalie POV~<br /> "Pfffsh, no!" He may be attractive, and I won't deny it. After all, I am a girl, and the guy is hot. Every girl may go crazy for him and desire him, but not me. He's a scumbag. His cocky disposition said it all.<br /> He sleeps with anything that has a hole. It's like a stray dog, leave it alone, you don't know where it's been. 'He probably has STDs or something, not to mention where his mouth has been,' Zoe said in disgust. Can't disagree. I know we may be exaggerating, but Christian's been around with almost every chic in that school.<br /> ~<br /> I was already running for 20 minutes, when I sensed another wolf running too. 'A warrior on security watch?' No. My wolf Jasper sensed it was a girl. As I got closer, I smirked. 'Well, well, lookie who it is.' I told Jaz, a shorter name for my wolf.<br /> I knew I would get to her first before she sensed us because Alpha's have stronger abilities than all other wolves.<br /> 'Lucky us. I am fond of this one, Chris.' Jaz said. 'Well let's go say hello, maybe we'll get lucky to allure her.' I said cockily.<br /> As we got closer, she turned around in defensive mode. 'That was odd.'<br /> "What, Christian! What are you trying to do? Give me a heart attack numb nuts!" She said, trying to catch her breath.<br /> I started to laugh, "Woah baby, no need to go in attack mode andโฆnumb nuts?" I said, raising an eyebrow looking offended with her word choice of insult. She was fiery, and her voice sounded hot.<br /> "Yeahโฆwellโฆyou should never sneak up on anyone running ALPHA!" She said angrily.<br /> Every time she spoke, my shaft twitched, and this time, I stepped closer. I smirked and licked my bottom lip. "Nat, you don't have to call me Alpha, just Christian or Chris for short." She noticed the action.<br /> She raised an eyebrow, "OkayโฆChristianโฆbut you will have to call me Natalie. Only my close friends and my parents call me Nat. What are you doing here? Were you stalking me? You know better than anyone never to sneak up on someone like that unless you're looking for a hip whooping," She spat. "You know how rogues don't follow rules and are ruthless killers!"<br /> "Wait, stalking! No, I was out for a run today. Why did you say it like thatโฆwaitโฆunless you saw the friend request." I said, dismissing the rogue statement.<br /> "Pleaseโฆyeah I saw it. Now that you bring it upโฆno." She simply said.<br /> "Noโฆ" I said, looking dumb founded.<br /> "We are not friends, and you have never spoken a word to me, Christian. What did you expect? It would be like you invading my personal space!"<br /> "Speaking of personal space, back off, you keep coming closer, dude." She looked pissed and was already fisting up her hands.<br /> "Shorty, why do you have to be so angry? It's just a friend request, and it's not just from anyone, but from your future Alpha," I chuckled. "Sweetheart, you make it difficult to get near you. In that case, let me get to know you better, Natalie. It's never too late." Now biting my lower lip.<br /> As I got closer, she kept backing up until she hit a tree. I leaned to her face, and I could smell the vanilla scent in her hair. She smelled good. I wanted to peck her badly. But that thought disappeared when I suddenly felt pain down south. 'Did she just hit my balls!' I went down on one knee holding my pair to soothe them.<br /> "Don't for one, think, I am attracted to you or treat me like those other girls you have luring around. I am nothing like them. Never invade my personal space. You may be my Alpha soon, but even the Alpha has to respect his pack members." She looked down on me and if I wasn't more attracted to her than ever.<br /> She was beautiful. 'Chris, mate or not, we want her!' Jaz said, and I couldn't agree more. ' She definitely is unique, Jaz, one of a kind. ' I said as I saw her curvy body making her way back home. My hands ached to touch her.<br /> 'The nerve of that fool' I told Zo. 'Did you see how he was licking his lips like if I was a piece of meat,' I said, all pissed off. 'He was sniffing my hair too! Creep!'<br /> 'You sure kicked him hard, girlie! If I could hi-five you, I would, so I'll do it mentally' she snickered. 'He is cute, though Natie. The guy has muscle. I wouldn't mind seeing his wolf Jasper.' Zoe said.<br /> Ughโฆmaybe so, but he is too arrogant and cocky. Zoe kinda caught me off guard with that comment, though. Traitor.<br /> I ran fast, heading home. So much for a quiet and peaceful run. I got home showered and changed. My parents weren't home. I noticed it was past 9, so I called Evie.<br /> "Good morning Natie! I woke up at 9 thinking you weren't kidding on calling me, but to my surprise, you didn't call on time. That's not you, Nat." She said, concerned.<br /> "Evie, you will never believe what happened to me. Come over so we can talk and head out!"<br /> _____________________<br /> "No freaking way! What are you for reals? ! Christian!" Evie's mouth was wide open.<br /> "The devil in the flesh Ev's!" I told her. I explained what happened this morning about receiving his friend request and what happened on my run, almost scaring the pee out of me by sneaking up on me. The way he caged me by a tree and how he was acting weird, like trying to make a move on me.<br /> "Nat, Christian has the hots for you." She said in a teasing voice. Christian is not a one woman man. "Ev's, no dude. Honestly, there is only one guy that I really would like to know andโฆugh," I said, now feeling a little sad.<br /> "Who! ? Ivan Carter? ! He is an attractive one, buddy."<br /> Ivan Carter belongs to another pack, the Midnight Pack. He is the son of Alpha Easton Carter. He also attends the academy, and every time I sneak a peek at him, my body reacts to him. I've touched myself just thinking about him.<br /> 'You ain't lying Nat, he's a total package.' Zoe said breathlessly.<br /> 'Okay make up your mind! ? I chucked.<br /> I have never gotten close to him or talked to him. Well it's my fault, actually. I don't like getting close to anyone, and I was scared that he didn't feel the same way. I can't get my hopes up anyway. He's meant to be an Alpha. We shouldn't really mess with Alphas either way. I've heard Alpha's can choose their mates as well, but a true fated mate can make a strong heir.<br /> He also has this chic that is always around him, Camila Ares. She is next in line for Gamma in his pack. She is always with or on him. She freaking irritates me.<br /> 'He doesn't look interested in her, but they are always together. Well him and his click.' Zoe putting her two cents in. 'Yup,' I sighed.<br /> "Evie, do you think this year will be different? I don't know if I'm ready to see who I'm mated to." I can't believe I sound so down. I mentally slapped myself, I got up and shook off all of those unwanted emotions and thoughts.<br /> I'm scared of these feelings I have for Ivan, only to be hurt if he's mated with someone else, which probably will happen. I have to do something fast and stop whatever this is before I get a broken heart.<br /> "Nat, you're gorgeous, and anyone mated to you will be lucky as heck because you are one of a kind! To answer your question, yes! This is our year!" She leaned over and gave me a big hug.<br /> "You're gorgeous too, buddy. Anyone would be lucky to have you as a mate. I'll kick your mate's hip if he thinks otherwise. I got your back, babe!"<br /> We got up and headed for my car. My parents had gotten me a used Red, fourth generation Camaro from 2004, on my 16th birthday. I love my car.<br /> I rammed my engine and headed to town.<br /> ~Ivan's POV~<br /> "Alpha Ivan! Hey, earth to Alpha!" Jerry hollered. "I'm right next to you idiot" I growled. "Put me on the spot, why don't you."<br /> Jerry Scott is my Delta, and he's already taking charge since his father stepped down. He is the head warrior and trains our pack members.<br /> Training is about to start, and we are about to spar each other.<br /> I will soon become Alpha of the Midnight Pack. At the age of 18, the current Alpha, my father, Easton Carter, will step down, and I will claim my place as Alpha.<br /> I got distracted with my thoughts. In a few weeks I'll be going back to school at the Blue Moon Academy. It's our last year, and I'm anxious, though. There's this girl that has been on my mind rent-free. I haven't made the effort to talk to her. It seems she's not the talkative kind and brushes anyone away.<br /> This year will be different. I will make the initiative to get closer to her. I'm all giddy just thinking about her. When I think about her face, her hair, and her body, I get turned on. Natalie Adams makes me feel things I've never felt for anyone.<br /> Striker, my wolf puts these images in my head of us sleeping. 'There is something about this girl Ivan, that when I see her, it makes me go crazy, she belongs to us. That aura around her when she is pissed is captivating?' Striker says calmly.<br /> It's not common when a person's wolf feels infatuated with a certain person who is not their mate. I've heard that Alpha's get signs if a girl belongs to them, but we haven't been too close to her to sense any of those signs. Honestly, I wouldn't even know the signs if they were there.<br /> Just watching her from afar has been enough for us both these past years. But it's time to change that because just looking at her is not sufficient anymore. We need and want more of her.<br /> However, he's right. We've seen people piss her off from a distance. She doesn't show emotion like other girls, but when she is angry, her aura is strong, and with that, she scares them off. She's fierce.<br /> Her demeanor says it all. I can't put my finger on it. Only wolves with high rankings have that type of aura that demands respect and obedience.<br /> But if I am correct, her parents are warriors from Christian's pack. Soโฆit can't be possible. Werewolves take their rankings seriously. Well, most of us. That's just the way it should be. Your destined mate and you should make a strong heir.<br /> It also irks me of the fact that Christian has had his eyes on her. It sucks that she is from his pack. You can see the gleam in his eyes when she walks into the lunchroom. My wolf wants to peek out and claw his eyes out each time. Arrogant nutsack.<br /> 'That's true. Should we do a bit of research regarding her family line?' Striker eagerly says. 'Yeah, maybe we should. Just maybe there is something more to her, and by luck, we could have a chance to be mated to her.' With that thought, I couldn't help but smile.<br /> You may ask, what is it about this girl that makes her so interesting? Well, she is definitely not like the girls at school or my pack. She is attractive, and that fierce, mysterious, emotionless demeanor she gives out makes her so alluring. Makes you curious about her personality and what she thinks. This girl attracts unwanted attention without even trying.<br /> All other girls yearn for that attention and throw themselves at guys, but not her. She also doesn't give any guy her undivided attention. It's like no one exists around her. She is in her own world.<br /> "Ay, what's that on your face! Are you smiling? Wipe that off Alpha, ain't nobody got time for that when you're about to get a beat down." Jerry says laughing.<br /> โฆand just like that, my face is emotionless.<br /> 'Alright, you got jokes!' I scowl. Turning around, I yelled, "BEGIN!"<br /> _________<br /> After our training, I headed to the pack house. As I open the front door and head to the stairs, I hear footsteps behind me, and someone jumps on my back. I knew it was Camila because of her scent. It's too flowery and strong for my liking. Striker growls.<br /> Everyone thinks that we are together, but that is far from the truth. We are friends with benefits. I don't feel anything for her, honestly. Striker gets pissed off. He dislikes her scent and voice.<br /> He only accepts it if we imagine Natalie beneath us.<br /> "Get off me, Camila! I'm your Alpha!" I yelled. She flinched and quickly got off. I already do Alpha affairs as I'm slowly transitioning into the labors of a true leader. I take my job seriously because leading is what I do best.<br /> "What's wrong baby, you've been distant lately? You don't want me anymore? You haven't invited me up to your room. It's been weeks now, Ivan." She said, with her whiny voice.<br /> Striker snapped, 'She better remember her place, Ivan! It's Alpha to this bimbo!'<br /> I palm my face. "ALPHA! ALPHA IVANโฆCAMILA! ! ! Don't forget my title and don't forget your place." I growled. I was being a scumbag.<br /> Don't get me wrong, Camila is hot. She is 5'8 taller than most girls, with chocolate brown hair. She has these pretty hazel orbs. However, she has an ugly attitude, especially with girls that get close to me. I can't stand that. I may have slept with her a couple of times, but I feel nothing for her. She is not Natalie.<br /> ~<br /> "What's up Ivan, you rang! ?" Pointing at his head trying to be funny.<br /> Jerry, Axel, and Camila are allowed to call me Ivan without using my title. Especially if we are alone or having a group conversation with just the four of us.<br /> However, Camila has been irritating me lately. I may have acted like a scumbag but I have to somehow hammer it in her head that we are not a thing.<br /> I said this before, but I take my position seriously. Being a leader is a serious matter and the decisions I make can have a life or death impact on my pack.<br /> From here forward, she will have to understand that I can not condone that type of disrespect especially if we are not together. I allowed it in my bedroom but now, things have changed. She also has to take her position seriously. If and when I find my Luna, she will be the one to be protecting her. That's the role of a Gamma.<br /> "Yup, I got a mission for you. But this is low key." I said glaring at him.<br /> "Okay, whatcha got? !" Jerry said now sounding excited.<br /> "You remember Natalie Adams from the academy? From Christian's Pack." I asked.<br /> "Yeahโฆwho doesn't! She's freaking hot!" He sheepishly replied.<br /> "Watch it! I want you to look into her family background," I said possessively.<br /> He covered his mouth and jokingly said, "Whaaaโฆ? !" I pinched the bridge of my nose and furrowed my brows. "Well can you or can you not! ?" sounding bothered now.<br /> He chuckled, "Of course I can, anything for you bro. Is there something I should be concerned about though or something I am looking for in specific?"<br /> "Have you ever noticed the aura she gives out at times? I sense power and strength like if she comes from a higher rank, but her parents are warriors," I calmly said. It may not be a big deal but I'm curious now.<br /> "I just think there's more than meets the eye with her," I wasn't lying. "She is so different. It's like Camila, she's a Gamma because of her dad, but Natalie seems to be stronger than a Gamma if you get my drift."<br /> "Ah, okay, okay, I get it. I'll get to it. You don't have to explainโฆit makes sense," he said. "This can not leave this room. This is between you and me," I said, trusting him.<br /> The less people know what I do, the better. It may be stupid to others but for me, this is imperative.<br /> "Got it!" Jerry said leaving the room. Jerry is my best tracker and hacker when it comes to technology. He is a genius, very observant, and fast. That is why he is our Delta. | Cra0001 | 35 | https://facebook.com/100091661543152 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

My chin begins to wobble as tears form in my eyes.<br /> I shouldn't be crying, but I know that he won't accept me. I'm ruined ... I'm marked, claimed to be someone elses ...<br /> "Why are you crying?" he inches closer and only stops when he's in front of me. I want to fall into his arms, to beg him not to reject me, to save me, but how can I when I'm claimed ...<br /> "You're going to reject me." my eyes squeeze shut as I suck my lips into my mouth.<br /> "You might be marked, but I can fix that."<br /> "How?" I stare up at him with teary eyes, "We remove it." he shrugs, his eyes filled with lust.<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> JESSICA'S POV<br /> Nick and I have been married for three years, we are high school sweethearts and married when we were twenty when neither of us found our mates. These days, fated mates are rare and hard to come by ... we both agreed I'd be a good Luna to the pack since I trained with him, I learned to be a luna from his mother and we have been inseparable since we were in diapers.<br /> He's my best friend and my true love.<br /> We made a promise to never leave, to never break the bond, to never reject one another when we found our real mates, which is likely to never happen.<br /> We are attending a ball tonight, but my insides are twisted, as if the Moon Goddess herself wants to shield me from whatever is going to happen, I tried to talk Nick into staying at home, but as stubborn like all alpha's are, he refused and said that we would get a bad name if we didn't attend.<br /> Sitting in the car while our driver takes us to a nearby pack, a strong and mighty one.<br /> I know it's our duty to attend, but holding his hand in the back seat, something is terribly wrong.<br /> We arrive and there are a line of cars outside, one by one driving by , guests getting out, wearing gowns and suits.<br /> It's our turn and Nick opens the door, holding his hand out to me and I happily take it as we get out, photos are taken and a red carpet is rolled out as if we were famous.<br /> Nick looks handsome with his dark blonde hair gelled back, his chiseled jaw tense, and the edges of his lips curled up into a small smile.<br /> We arrive inside and we're led to the ballroom, servants with trays walking with snack food and drinks pace all over while the guests stand and chat.<br /> I notice the alpha of The Deep Mountain pack greeting people, making rounds to greet and speak, there's a stage in the middle against the wall, a bar to the side and a dance floor in the middle where couples are dancing elegantly.<br /> I smile at my surroundings and freeze when I look at Nick, staring at a beautiful dark haired girl .<br /> "Nick." I tug at his hand, but it's like he's under a spell, frozen in time as the girl stares back at him.<br /> "Nick." I tug harder, his shoulder shrugging back, "Huh?" he turns to me with a frown, his fingers letting go of my hand and I feel cold.<br /> "I'm going to grab a drink." he smiles at me before walking off towards the bar, closer to the strange woman.<br /> I was an omega and the room is filled with power, I could even feel hers because she is of a higher rank.<br /> I gulp as I watch him walk to the bar, his eyes locked on hers and she elegantly turns in her navy blue dress, walking towards him with dark lustful eyes.<br /> I can't be ... but it is ... it's his mate ..<br /> I stand frozen and a shoulder bumps into me, making my head turn at the woman glaring and snarling, "Watch where you are going!" she scolds and I apologize before walking over to the bar, joining my mate's side while he absentmindedly stares at the woman next to him.<br /> I clear my throat, but there's no response from him.<br /> He doesn't even notice me ..<br /> "Nick." I smile , hope filling my heart as he glances at me, fear flashing through his perfect green orbs as he steps back and then looks at her again.<br /> "Jess, this is Tiffany ... my mate." he smiles awkwardly at me but when he looks at her, it's a genuine smile ...<br /> "Nick." I frown in concern and he takes my hand, giving it a tight squeeze, "Don't worry, I know what to do." he smiles, "Shall we talk outside?" the gloominess in his eyes makes me relax only for a minute until she holds out her hand, smiling gracefully with her full lips and pretty blue eyes.<br /> My heart sinks when her hand hooks into his arm and they head to the balcony. alone ...<br /> I should go with ... but it is a private matter.<br /> 'He's ours...' Zola, my wolf, whimpers.<br /> I stand at the bar, staring carelessly at my mate walking off with his true mate and I inch closer, frowning as every nerve in my body is burning to follow them.<br /> I glance around and there are so many people that they don't even notice until the Luna of the Deep Mountain pack steps closer, "Jessica, is it? From the West Pack?" I nod, trying not to be rude when I look at the balcony and not at her while she speaks to me.<br /> "Oh honey, it's done." she shakes her head and I frown, cocking my head at her in confusion.<br /> "What do you mean?" My eyes stare into her honey ones.<br /> "He found his mate, I'm sorry but it's fated and you are now the other woman." she sighs, glancing at the balcony doors.<br /> I stare at her, my heart racing a million miles an hour and I excuse myself.<br /> I step out of the house, moving around the arriving couples when I feel my heart squeeze, pain taking over and I know what it meant ... Disgust fills me and I start to run, glancing over my shoulder no one notices and I shift, my beautiful pastel pink dress ripping to shreds as I run into the woods.<br /> The pain had stopped, but I did not return home until after midnight, finding Nick sitting on the couch, watching tv.<br /> "Jessica, where have you been?" he stands as I slam the door shut, standing undressed in front of him.<br /> I cross my arms over my chest, glaring at him. "Excuse me?" I shake my head at him, "Where have I been? What have you been doing!" I growl, making his eyes widen in shame and his gaze flicks to the floor when he scratches his nape.<br /> "That's what I thought, you couldn't even resist ten minutes before sleeping her, could you?" I see the pure rage filling me.<br /> "I didn't, I swear..." he promises, but I don't believe him.<br /> Scoffing, I strut past the couch to our room, "Can we talk?" he yells and I turn , "Did you reject her?" I frown and he falls silent, raking a hand through his hair.<br /> "Then no, we can't ." I turn and walk to our room.<br /> He follows me, closing the door behind us, "Jess, I love you. I promise I will reject her, I just ... I couldn't, it's much more difficult than you think." he frowns, explaining himself.<br /> "And will you go and do it?" I grab clothes from the closet, "I will, just ... I need time." he begs and I snort, "Can I come when you do it?" the silence says it all, he doesn't want me there ...<br /> "You're saying you'll do it, but you won't, because you are weak." I tut, shaking my head.<br /> "I will, I just need to distance myself, to keep myself away and then I'll do it when I have the strength to." he explains, his eyes pleading for forgiveness.<br /> I hum, ignoring him as I strut past him toward the bathroom and he reaches for me, grabbing my wrist and I snarl at him, making him let me go instantly, "Don't touch me after sleeping someone else." I grit out, backing up into the bathroom and I slam the door shut, the heavy thud shaking the windows and I lock the door.<br /> I take a hot shower, the water pouring down on me as my back slides down the tiled wall, tears streaming down my face as I weep.<br /> I hear the door handle jiggle and I wipe the fog from the glass door, staring at the handle go up and down as he tries to enter.<br /> I feel a tug at the mind link, but I shut him out.<br /> He disgusts me, he promised, both of us promised one another that we would immediately reject our mates before the bond grew and he is letting it grow, making it ten times more difficult to reject them.<br /> I can't believe I trusted him ... I expose his mark in the crook of my neck, I hold our love dear in my heart and he just let it all go down the drain, letting it sink into the sewers.<br /> I am nothing under his shoe and here I am, still loving him with every breath I take.<br /> After sitting more than an hour under the steaming water, it turns cold and I sit for another half an hour before standing and I shut the water off, taking my time to get dressed and when I stride out in silk booty shorts and a thin strap silk top, I notice how Nick lays in bed, his thumbs circling one another as he stares at the ceiling.<br /> He doesn't even notice me and I am sure he's thinking about her.<br /> The one who stole his heart within a second, the one who is going to steal my life, my bed, my position and my mate.<br /> We are real mates, we accepted one another, we marked each other, we might not be fated, but we are real or we were before her.<br /> ==<br /> My heart starts racing as we head further up the stairs, my pulse is beating in my ears and the musky scent is intensifying. When we reach the top, there's an entire living room in the middle and then two halls, but the scent up here is stronger ... "What's that smell?" I ask Louis without hesitation. He turns to me, his arched brows furrowing together, "The sweaty smell? Must be Nate, my alpha, but please, call him Alpha Nathaniel, he doesn't like strangers calling him Nate, or anyone else. As his best friend, I have perks." he winks at me, his smile so genuine and he seems like a totally different guy in his own pack than what he was at the party.<br /> I wet my lips and it still stings, it's taking forever to heal but I could feel it start from the inside.<br /> "Louis! Have you seen my phone?" Nate's voice comes from the opposite hall. "No, I've been out doing your job!" Louis yells back and the power lingering in the air is suffocating me. I'm stiff and upset about the stupid dress I thought would impress Nick.<br /> "Come.." Louis tugs me down the other hall, away from Alpha Nathaniel and once I enter his room, I'm shook. Everything is so white except for a few decorations. "Wow." I breathe out, his room is bigger than Nick and I's.<br /> He marches over to his closet and grabs a shirt, tossing it at me, "The bathroom is over there." he nods behind me and I turn, smiling before looking over my shoulder at him, "I'll be right back." he struts over to the door and I head inside the bathroom, the white marble walls knock the air right out of my lungs and I stand for two minutes and just look at everything.<br /> The bathtub looks huge, almost like a hot tub, the shower has benches built in and is large with great shower head equipment, the sink is built into a large white counter with beautiful engraved cupboards below it.<br /> I quickly undress and put Louis' white shirt on that fits me like a dress. I drape my dress over my arm and pick up my heels before exiting the bathroom, standing awkwardly looking at the bed ... wondering if he'll come back to peck me ...<br /> I know I shouldn't think of it, but I've been feeling so alone ... It doesn't matter if Nick slept next to me last night, his mind wasn't with me ... he didn't want me in his bed ... he wanted her.<br /> He didn't even come near me when all I wanted was for him to hold me, to tell me I'm still important too ... but he didn't. When he climbed into bed, he turned his back to me and fell asleep, but it seemed forced, like he didn't want to see me at all.<br /> The door opens and Louis stands there, his eyes trailing me standing in his shirt. "You are tiny, aren't you?" he comes inside, holding out his hand and I take it, "Let's get that dress fixed." he grins and leads me down the hall again.<br /> Before taking the first step, a clearing of a throat makes us stop, "Louis, who's this?" Alpha Nathaniel's voice makes a shiver run down my spine and Louis turns first, "Jessica." he smiles and before he could explain anything, I turn, freezing when our eyes lock.<br /> My lips part as I stare into Alpha Nathaniel's beautiful olive orbs, his entire body language changes, his laid back look now tense.<br /> "Mate." he growls lowly and I gasp, fear and excitement mixing inside of me. My stomach flutters and Louis let's go of me, stepping aside, "Nate, I didn't know." he moves away from me and Alpha Nathaniel's eyes lock on my busted lip, his eyes flicking a bright silver as he looks at Louis, "What happened to her lip?" he grits out, anger clear in his tone.<br /> "Her..." , "Wait!" I blurt out, looking at Louis with pleading eyes and Alpha Nathaniel's head snaps to my direction, curiosity visible in his gaze, "Why wait?" Alpha Nathaniel asks, his tone calm when speaking to me.<br /> "I just ... I think I should tell you." I pick at my nails nervously, hoping that he wouldn't reject me.<br /> Louis walks over to me, "Give me the dress, I'll get it cleaned." he smiles and Alpha Nathaniel gives him a weird look as I hand it over.<br /> "Excuse me." Louis mutters before trotting down the stairs, leaving me alone with Alpha Nathaniel.<br /> "So, what happened?" he asks, his muscles tensing. I want to inch closer, every fibre of my being wants to be near him ... but his gaze falls to my neck, looking at the mark embroidered into my flesh.<br /> "My mate his Louis for dancing with me and he accidentally hit me too ... I was in the way." his eyes flash bright, anger written all over his face, "Accidentally?" he frowns, dragging his large veiny hand through his black hair. "Yes, I believe so." I gulp, his aura makes me feel like running away.<br /> "And you have a mate..." his eyes narrow on my mark and I feel the need to just claw it off.<br /> "My mate found his mate and now I'm just ... the luna of our pack." My chin begins to wobble as tears form in my eyes.<br /> I shouldn't be crying, but I know that he won't accept me. I'm ruined ... I'm marked, claimed to be someone elses ...<br /> "Why are you crying?" he inches closer and only stops when he's in front of me. I want to fall into his arms, to beg him not to reject me, to save me, but how can I when I'm claimed ...<br /> "You're going to reject me." my eyes squeeze shut as I suck my lips into my mouth. I flinch as his fingers brush over my cheek, wiping the tears away and sparks erupt in my face, sending a calm sensation down my back.<br /> "You might be marked, but I can fix that." his hand brushes my raven hair back over my shoulder, his thumb dragging over my mark and it slightly stings because he isn't the man who gave it to me ...<br /> "How?" I stare up at him with teary eyes, "We remove it." he shrugs, his eyes filled with lust.<br /> I step back, "How?"<br /> I never heard of a mark being removed ... and if someone did, they sure didn't survive to tell the tale.<br /> "It's a rare ritual, but you seem tough enough." he shrugs, making my blood run cold ... I'm not tough ... I was an omega before being a luna ...<br /> "I was an omega before being a luna." I blurt out, feeling like it's a fact he has to know.<br /> "But you are a luna, it changes your status. Didn't you feel yourself change?" his fingers drag down the side of my arm before he takes my hand and I feel like I might just jump him right here.<br /> "Let's get you out of Louis's shirt ... I know he's kind but you smelling like him pisses me off." his eyes widen, his jaw tense and I follow him without hesitation.<br /> Walking into his room is like walking into a fancy black interior design room, the walls are black, his bedding his black, his cupboards are black ... everything is black with beautiful gold detailing.<br /> "Wow." I breathe out as I absentmindedly march over to the double doors and just open them without asking. I step outside onto the patio, staring at the dark forest that surrounds us. We're far from the ground and I turn, looking at the dark exterior.<br /> Alpha Nathaniel joins me outside with a black t-shirt, not that I expected anything else, "Here, this will suit you much better." he grins, handing me the black shirt. "Where's your bathroom?" he frowns at my question, "Inside." he nods to behind him and I smile up at him, his emerald eyes glistening as he watches me pass him.<br /> I could feel his eyes on me as I disappear into the bathroom and it's even bigger than Louis' ...<br /> I find it extremely weird that the guy who brought me home is my mate's beta ... for Goddess sake ... I thought of pecking him!<br /> I take a few minutes to glance around the bathroom, staring at myself in the full length bathroom mirror across from me.<br /> My lip is almost fully healed at least ...<br /> Nick ... oh Goddess, what do I tell Nick? | Pop001 | 393 | https://facebook.com/100092038763039 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

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." | ForFun-120 | 72 | https://facebook.com/61554751622817 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Kayan<br /> I was betrayed by two people I trusted implicitly, my best friend and my fiancรฉ, or so i thought.<br /> Without saying a word, I bent down and picked up my phone. By this time Dimitri had donned his boxers and his slim fit navy dress pants. Mariana on the other hand was gripping the white sheet, trying to cover her body and was sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> Normally her tears would have stirred some sort of emotion but I felt absolutely nothing looking at her.<br /> Dimitri stepped towards me with his outstretched hand but I stepped back, and when I spoke my own voice surprised me.<br /> Two words, " How long?". I stared at both of them expectantly. Dimitri sighed and rubbed his face, looking at me with regret.<br /> When no response was forthcoming from him, I turned to Mariana and pinned her with a glare. " Shut up Mariana! I asked a question and I need an answer now!" I shouted.<br /> She pulled her knees to her chest as her body shook in fear, she had only seen me angry once so she knew not to taunt me. Dimitri on the other hand, was stunned.<br /> She looked at me and stuttered in fear " S....si...six months", and hung her head low. I absorbed her reply, laughed hysterically, which caught both of them by surprise. They looked at each other shrugging their shoulders and just as I started laughing suddenly, I stopped abruptly.<br /> "Six months you say? I guess this is the part where you'll say it was a mistake, you never meant to hurt me and you're both sorry right?." I spoke calmly, surprising myself.<br /> Dimitri was first to speak " Kay, please I'm so sorry. We were both tipsy after your work anniversary party,and after I dropped her off, everything went to terrible. I'm so sorry baby but..." I laughed again, cutting him off mid sentence.<br /> I held my hand up then turned to Mariana" What about you bimbo, any last words?" Her eyes bulged in fear and I watched her squirm in fear. She knew I could put a bullet between her eyes even with my eyes closed , thanks to my Dad taking me to the pistol range every Saturday for 2 years.<br /> She sprung to her knees, the sheet fell exposing her and I saw all the hickeys along her neck and on her breasts. "Kay please, let's talk about this. I'm so sorry and I regret this. I'm so sorry for hurting you like this, it wasn't planned."<br /> The nerve of this woman, I thought. I should have listened to my gut all those months ago. She kept thwarting our plans, started traveling a lot and would barely take my video calls then. And she kept changing or bashing my wedding plans and like a fool, I brushed it aside.<br /> Dimitri was the same, one business trip after another, late nights and then he was distant. When I asked him about it, he promised to do better than what he did, but there was a subtle change. We no longer have sleep.<br /> Both of them looked at me expectantly, waiting for the weak, docile Kayan to shed tears and assure them everything would be okay.<br /> I dropped my phone into my bag, grabbed my pistol and clicked the safety off. I swiftly fired two rounds which were followed by agonizing screams. I shot Dimitri in his thigh just inches from his shaft while Mariana got hers in her right shoulder. Just enough to cause pain but not be fatal.<br /> I walked out the room but turned to them saying " That's for the betrayal, I never want to see or hear from either of you again. The next time you won't be so lucky."<br /> I descended the stairs shakily, I touched my face checking for tears but there were none. My chest was convulsing but I refused to give in to the pain I was feeling.<br /> As I got to the last step, I looked around, marched over to the fireplace and threw all photos she had of us together into it. I lifted the stoker, broke her 60" Samsung TV and everything went red from thereon. I trashed her apartment then walked out as if nothing happened.<br /> I grabbed my baseball bat from my trunk, smashed all her windows and doors. Just as I about to leave, I saw Dimitri's Silver Range Rover across the street.<br /> How didn't I notice it before?<br /> I walked up to it and repeated my actions. When I was satisfied, I hopped into my van and drove away.<br /> ---- <br /> Dimitri<br /> I couldn't believe Kayan shot us and simply walked away. I had known her for over 6 years but I never encountered this side of her. I knew I deserved that, worst of all, I ruined the one good thing I had done.<br /> I was thinking with my shaft and not my brain, because in assessing the current situation, Mariana was just a good woman. There is attraction, but the feelings I have for Kayan are deeper.<br /> Her sobs reverberated around the bedroom , bringing me back to the current situation.<br /> When Kayan left the room, I heard her trashing Mariana's apartment downstairs and was about to go after her.<br /> Mariana's words stopped me dead in my tracks, "Leave her be, Dimitri, she will kill you! She needs to calm down first before we approach her." I turned to her slowly, trying to ignore the pain and blood gushing from my wound.<br /> "What do you mean Mari? I'm going after her! There is no us. This was a mistake. I need to talk to her!" I ran my hands over my face then slid my belt around my leg making a tourniquet.<br /> She slid off the bed, gripping the sheet with her uninjured shoulder. " Take it from me, we're lucky to be alive! You have never seen her upset or know what she's capable of in this state but I do!" She tiptoed to the door listening for any further sound from downstairs, but was greeted with silence.<br /> Mariana sat on the stairs shaking and crying while gripping her disheveled hair.<br /> The front door was ajar, I moved to lock it but the sight of Mariana's car took my breath away. I looked across the street to mine and it looked even worst.<br /> I shook my head, sighed and turned too quickly, causing a searing pain in the bullet wound.<br /> I called my driver Michael and told him to be quick and discreet.<br /> Mariana got dressed in the meantime while we waited with bated breaths.<br /> Michael arrived in about 10 minutes, his eyes expressed shock but he knew better than to ask any questions.<br /> He drove us to Wyckoff Medical, the only place I knew would be discreet about what happened.<br /> Using the back entrance, we were quickly ushered into separate rooms for assessment.<br /> As I laid on the bed, I felt Dr. Green prodding my wound for the bullet. He's been our family physician since I was a child, so when he asked who I pissed off this time , I sighed and ignored him.<br /> All I could think about was Kayan, she was my everything!<br /> Not anymore you prick, you screwed up and you're lucky to be alive, I shook my head, trying to shake guilt ridden thoughts from my subconscious.<br /> I reminisced on all the times we spent together, the plans we made for our future and our kids. I reflected on how she supported me even when my own father doubted me. She never gave up on me. You shut up Dimitri!<br /> Dr. Green waved his hand above my eyes while calling my name. " Did you hear anything I said just now?" he asked quietly.<br /> I sighed " No, what is it?". My tone was clipped but right now I didn't care, I could apologize later.<br /> He rolled his eyes before continuing "I said there's a detective waiting outside to talk to you, you know it's my duty to report this." He grabbed a scissors and cut the thread, signaling that he had finished stitching my wound.<br /> "You'll live, but stay off your feet for a few days, and use a crutch if you have to move around." Dr. Green bandaged my leg and was about to leave when I stopped him.<br /> "Wait, I apologize for my behavior Doc. Where's the young lady who came in with me? I need to see her now." He looked at me sadly, shook his head and left the room without a word.<br /> My guess is he figured out why Kayan hadn't rushed into the hospital demanding answers. The realization hit me of how I not only disappointed Kayan but everyone close to me, especially my parents. <br /> I must have dosed off from the pain medication I had gotten as I was woken up by Mariana gently shaking my shoulder and calling my name.<br /> Blinking my eyes to adjust to the bright lights, I grabbed the remote and adjusted my bed. Mariana looked terrible, her hair was unkempt and her eyes were swollen. Her right arm was bandaged and now in a sling.<br /> She sat in the chair beside the bed and hung her head low. " I spoke to the police, I told them we were mugged at the apartment as we were trying to finalize wedding arrangements." It was barely a whisper, but I sighed in relief.<br /> "We messed up but I agree, I'll tell them the same thing. Kayan doesn't deserve this." My throat felt hoarse so I reached for a tumbler with water, poured a cup and took several sips.<br /> " I told you we needed to stop Dimitri but you insisted on coming over!" I pinned her with a glare which caused her to shut up immediately.<br /> The nerve of this woman! I laughed coldly before turning to her " Oh so now it's my fault Mar? Surely you weren't complaining when I rammed your wet dripping private part with my shaft right? You never said stop! Anything else I'm forgetting?" My chest was heaving by the time I finished ranting.<br /> I was about to continue but her sobs erupted. She looked at me lost, guilt etched across her face before she stood to leave.<br /> "Look Mar, I'm sorry okay. I just don't know what to do." I held her wrist, my thumb caressing the inside of her hand in a comforting way. "How did she get in though?"<br /> Mariana was trembling as tears streamed down her face. She took a deep breath before she spoke. "I forgot she had a key from over a year ago. She would always check the place when I traveled for a convention or went to see my family."<br /> My mouth opened to speak but no words were forthcoming and they never came as the door banged open, slamming into the wall denting it.<br /> Jumping with fright, we turned to see my very pissed off father and my distraught mother. Before I could utter a word, he spoke," You, get out now and don't let me see your face again!" Mariana jumped in fear and ran from the room sobbing before I could stop her.<br /> "Dad i can explain...." He slammed his hand onto the small table, knocking the tumbler over.<br /> My mom grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down but he flicked her hand away and grabbed my hospital gown roughly, "Explain what exactly Dimitri? How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> "I'm going to fix this Dad, just give me a chance please." I turned towards my mom seeking support but she turned her head away from me. " Mom, please I'm sorry, I'll fix this. I'm gonna make everything right."<br /> My Dad simply scoffed at my words, took my Mom's hands and walked out the door.<br /> The only sound that filled the room was that of the water droplets bouncing on the floor.<br /> ---- <br /> Mariana<br /> I have never been more regretful in my entire life. My head was throbbing non stop, my eyes were puffy from all the tears I'd shed in the past 24 hours. My mind replayed the events and all I could think of, was that I should be dead by Kayan's hands.<br /> My driver dropped me off to the apartment, and as I stepped inside I once again surveyed the damage. Nothing was left untouched, I had to start over but I guess that's the price to pay for stabbing your best friend in the back for six months.<br /> I wanted to stop so many times, I knew it was wrong but Dimitri was like a spirit I couldn't get enough of.<br /> We decided to take the secret to our graves and everything was going great until I saw him a week later at Danny's Cafe. We sat and talked for a while but after an hour when we attempted to leave, the sexual tension was just too much to ignore.<br /> From thereon, we used our lunch breaks and any free time we could muster to screw each other senseless. After each encounter, we'd say it was the last time , but that never happened as soon after I took trips when he did or he came to my apartment before going home.<br /> All this time, I gave Kayan a million excuses as to why we couldn't meet up, continued planning her wedding virtually and offered excuses when she whined about Dimitri being overly consumed by work.<br /> I even ended things with my own boyfriend as our relationship became strained and miserable because of my infidelity.<br /> Now this is the endgame, I lost my best friend who always stood by me and I'm pretty sure Dimitri and I have no future.<br /> Sitting on the stairs, I decided to take a leap of faith and call Kayan. If I could just get her to listen to me for a second, I would tell her how sorry I am and try to fix things.<br /> As I dialed her number, it went directly to voice-mail, and after trying a few more times unsuccessfully, I decided to go see her. I ordered an Uber, waiting outside for a few minutes before the car pulled up.<br /> I got in, gave the driver her address and stared blankly out the window. The only sounds were that of the music playing in the dashboard.<br /> Ten minutes later, I was standing on the curb outside Kayan's townhouse. Hesitantly, I opened the gate, trudged up the steps and rang the bell. I was there waiting for a few minutes, I called her but there was no response.<br /> I walked to the garden by the lamp post where she always hid a spare key. It was gone.<br /> Just as I was about to step from the yard, I was stopped in my tracks by a faint voice. My hopes increased but when I turned around expecting Kayan, no one was there.<br /> What was that then, I thought to myself.<br /> I reopened the Uber app, placed my request and waited by the curb.<br /> "She's not here you know." I was startled by the voice and was relieved to see her neighbor Michael.<br /> "What do you mean? Where is she?" I asked hurriedly.<br /> He eyed me suspiciously before replying,<br /> "Seeing you here looking like poop tells me you had a role in Kay's sudden departure 2 hours ago." His words were true yet hurtful, I castedmy eyes down in shame.<br /> "You don't know, Mike, just tell me where she went, I need to talk to her before it's too late" I begged him.<br /> The prick was nonchalant as he leant against her gate typing away on his phone. After getting a ping, indicating a message, he looked up at me smirking.<br /> "Well if you must know, my girl left for England indefinitely..." he paused, struggling to hold back a snicker, "...Oh and she says you should go yourself or Dimatro, whatever the pretty boy's name is." Michael was now clutching his side laughing hysterically while I sighed in defeat.<br /> She's gone! And now there's no way I will find her because I can't go to her family and I'm pretty sure she's already changed her number!<br /> I didn't warrant Michael a response since the Uber pulled up, I hopped in and left.<br /> My phone began vibrating in my pocket and I grabbed it quickly, just hoping it would be Kayan. I was disappointed as Dimitri's name flashed on the screen.<br /> "What do you want Dimitri? Haven't we done enough, didn't you hear what your father said?" I shouted angrily, catching sight of the driver's raised brows in the rear view mirror.<br /> "Calm down Mari, I wanted to apologize for my Dad. I'm getting discharged now so I'm heading home, I need to sort things out with Kay." Though I had wanted the same thing minutes ago, I couldn't help the pang of jealousy that gripped me.<br /> Before I could stop myself I snarled in response<br /> "Thanks for asking how I'm doing you prick! Oh and don't bother going there because she's gone!"<br /> "What are you talking about Mari! This is not the time to joke with me..." I'd had enough of his nonsense so I cut him mid sentence " Kay's gone Dimitri, I just left the house, she's not home and her neighbor says she left for England." The other end of the line was silent.<br /> I looked at the screen to see if the call had been disconnected but the line was still open.<br /> "Dimitri?" He sighed in response and I heard him grunt in pain, perhaps moving too quickly on his injured leg.<br /> "I'm here Mari. How will I fix things if I don't know where to find her? Of all the places, she had to chose England!? Couldn't she have just gone to her parents? What am I going to do now?"<br /> I wanted to speak but my throat felt as if it was clogged.<br /> I cut the call, switched to airplane mode and rested my head against the window as fresh salty tears rolled down my cheeks.<br /> I lost everything.<br /> My best friend. Dimitri . And a family who accepted me without judgement and showed me nothing but love all these years. | Lio111 | 16 | https://facebook.com/61554822209907 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

My dad is really mad at you and Raven being mates." Twin sister Reagan said to my mate.<br /> "I don't mind rejecting her, but I would have been embarrassed to face my mate" Justin said.<br /> "My father has decided to appoint me as his future Alpha not my sister Raven. So, I will be your luna." Reagan said to Justin.<br /> ******** <br /> I silently run through the woods letting my wolf Emerald out tonight. She has been anxious all day, well really the last few days, and I could tell that she needed to come out for a run. <br /> Alpha Cole Walker is the Alpha of the Blood Walker pack. He is said to be one of the most dangerous Alphas in the United States. It is said that he would hurt anyone who dared to enter his pack uninvited. Due to this fact, most of our pack members studiously avoid this area altogether.<br /> My twin sister, Reagan, is the golden child of the pack. They all love her unconditionally. She is cherished and appreciated, no matter what she does. They all seem to ignore the fact that she is a horrible and mean she-wolf. I was born first, and with that should come the respect that after I find my mate, I will officially be the Luna here, and he will take over as the Alpha of the pack. Yet they all treat her as the next Luna. <br /> My sister and I are the only children that our parents had. The Goddess never blessed them with another child, even though they tried for years. My father, Alpha Graham Sullivan, is very strict with me. I am not allowed to leave my room other than to eat my meals and then return back to my room again. I am also not allowed to leave our pack for any reason. I have never even crossed the border of the Sliver Blade pack in my life. <br /> I was the Alpha's daughter, but I was not a valued member of this pack. Telling on me has always resulted in a bonus for whoever told on me to my father. I have had to learn how to overcome this on my own. It has made me very independent over the years, as well as a very good climber. I use the tree outside my window at the pack house, to climb up and down to get in and out of my room.<br /> From my vantage point, I can see who is coming now and rolled my eyes so hard I almost saw my brain. It was Reagan, and she was pulling the arm of a pretty large guy, as she headed toward the grassy bank near my tree. I realized right this moment that I have picked a terrible place to hide. I should have doubled back and then climbed in my window to my room and I would have been safe and sound in my room. Reagan is clearly out with one of her many men, as she was allowed to stay out and do whatever she wanted to. I mean how else could she beat me to finding her mate if she didn't flirt with all the unmated men in our pack? I rolled my eyes again and then froze when I looked at them again and got a good look at his face.<br /> That smell coming off of him was starting to drive me wild, he smelled like freshly baked cinnamon buns, and I was now pissed off. She had come here with the guy that I had a crush on, someone with whom she had never shown any interest in before. It was our Beta's son and the guy that I have had a crush on for the last year and a half.<br /> "No, don't stop them, Raven, she has already been dating with him for the last few months. This is not the first time, it has been well before he returned to the pack earlier this week. They are together now, dating, and they have both vowed to reject their actual mates to stay together to take over and run this pack. Please, just try to bear it, I will help you get through it. I am glad that you are in a secure location, this may make you pass out" Emerald linked me, and I felt physically sick.<br /> "How do you know this? Did she know that he is my mate? Why can't I approach him? Maybe he wants me, Emerald. Please let me stop this. He might not know that I am his mate, he may still want me, want US! I don't want to lose him, Emerald. He may not be aware his true mate is here. Can't he already smell our scent up here, like I smelled his scent? Are you sure that this is the only way? Please Emerald" I linked her back, and I feel the tears that are already sliding down my face. I have questions, and I need answers.<br /> I am frustrated. I don't want to give up on my true mate. He doesn't even know that I am here, and I do want him. I don't want to give him up, especially not to my sister Reagan. I don't know if I can survive this level of betrayal.<br /> "I can't wait for mom and dad to announce to the pack that we will be the Alpha and Luna tomorrow. This is something that I have really wanted for the last 8 years. I am so glad you decided that we could be chosen mates. " My sister says to my mate.<br /> "Besides, I am also glad that you are willing to lead the Silver Blade pack with me. I have a feeling that my freak of a sister who keeps staring at you is going to be crushed when she finds out that we are together. You dodged by deciding to accept me as your chosen mate. I know that she has a crush on you, so she would probably try to ask you out or something when she sees that you are back from break." She adds.<br /> "I think we will be so happy together. Raven will be so angry when she finds out that we planned this months ago. I cannot wait for her to find out. I even told mom to have her sit on the front row for the pack meeting tomorrow, so I can see her face when dad makes the announcement. I am going to put her next to you so it will hurt her more when dad calls you up on stage. When she realizes that her crush is going to be my mate, she is going to be so jealous of me. I am so going to get a picture of her face when she finds out, as I will want to remember that moment for a long time" I heard Reagan say to him, and I was so choked up I couldn't hold in the sob of pain that managed to escape.<br /> It wasn't loud, but with werewolf hearing, it was loud enough. I just stayed completely still and prayed that they hadn't heard me, but Justin started talking when my sob escaped, and they had no reaction, so I think I am safe.<br /> "I have always thought that you were a she-wolf, Reagan. I am so glad that you came up to my training with your offer, and for us to get extra special time together. If Raven were allowed to move around the pack, I don't think that she would be missing the fact that she is my mate. I scented her today when I got back to the pack and confirmed she is my mate. Per our agreement, I don't mind rejecting her, as I am clearly getting the better sister out of this deal. I would have been embarrassed to have to call that freak of nature my mate" Justin said, and with it, my heart was completely crushed.<br /> These two evil people deserved each other, and I will not waste another tear on his betrayal. He "chose" her, so he can keep her. She will never be faithful to him, and he will not ever be able to trust that their children are his either. She was just doing this to ensure that they become the next Alpha and Luna. She is what he wanted, so she can have him. I am thoroughly disgusted by both of them, and I will not allow them to make me sad one more day. I had already decided to get out of this horrible pack, and I will not miss the Silver Blade pack for a second. <br /> "She is your mate? Are you serious? Oh, this is the best" Reagan said as she laughed out in joy at hearing this information. "Justin, why haven't you mentioned this to me before?" Reagan continued.<br /> "I just found out about it earlier today as I have been gone for my training for the last 4 months. I caught my mate's scent and followed it so I could go ahead and reject them. I realized it was coming from the Alpha level, and when I went up and it led me straight to her door, it was really faint, but I sensed it. She doesn't even know it yet. I am sure that this information is not going to go over well with your parents. They may be upset when they find out. Are they still going to want us to move forward with our plan? Or are they going to want me and Raven to be mates because we are true mates?" Justin asked Reagan. I have to admit, I was interested in her reply as well, but I already suspected what the answer was going to be.<br /> "Oh no Justin, you will definitely be staying with me. I know dad is really going to get a kick out of you and Raven being mates. Mom might feel a little bad for her, but I think that this is great. I could not be happier that her true mate, will become my chosen mate.<br /> We will rule the Silver Blade pack together, and it will hurt her every day to see us together. It is my pack any way, it was never going to be hers. Maybe if we are lucky since she doesn't have a wolf, she won't be able to scent you, and your rejection might even hurt her when you do it. That would be the best-case scenario for all of us" Reagan said, and I could tell that Justin was a little shocked at how hateful she was. Reagan could tell that Justin was not liking this side of her so she quickly changed her attitude and started cooing at Justin, "She doesn't deserve you, baby, I love you and I want you. Hopefully, you will come to love me too.<br /> I was just worried, I don't want you falling in love with my sister after we have already mated." Reagan said to Justin, looking up at him adoringly through her long lashes. I have to admit, she really knows how to work people to do what she wants them to. Her ability to look innocent and pure is without measure, she could have been an actress.<br /> "Dad hates Raven. He will be very happy about this. He has never loved her since the day that she was born. Mom might be a little upset, but she will get over it. She and dad are chosen mates, she gave up her true mate to become the Luna of the Silver Blade pack. She did it herself, and if it is good enough for her, then it is good enough for me to do it as well. We make the perfect couple. We will have strong pups, and our pack will flourish" Reagan said, and I am stunned. I knew my dad was mean, but to hate me, why? What reason could he possibly have for hating me? My parents have told the whole pack numerous times through the years that they were true mates. They are very affectionate with each other in front of the pack. I didn't even know that they weren't true mates. What else don't I know about them?<br /> "We will do the same thing. You will have to reject Raven first thing in the morning, or after the pack meeting. But you will have to do it where no one else will hear you. Dad is going to tell the pack that we are true mates, so they will fully support us. Dad thinks that it would be a mistake to not have the pack's full support behind us when we go to take it over from my parents" Reagan said, and I am amazed at all the plans that they have kept away from me. Just another thing that shows how much difference there is between Reagan and me. I hear them touching again and wonder when they plan on leaving the area, don't they need to get back to the pack house?<br /> I narrow my eyes at Reagan, as she is ecstatic about getting to truly rub all of my misfortune in right now. Justin is getting the opportunity to reject me, so the situation that we are now in is all positive for them.<br /> "Raven, why are you out of the house? Are you supposed to be out here? Are you OK? That fall looked like it hurt pretty bad" I hear my sister ask me with an innocent look on her face like she cared about me. She was fully aware of how I am kept a prisoner here at the Silver Blade pack. I really have to get out of here. I needed to check and see how badly I am hurt because I don't know if I even have time to go pack a bag now. I may be having to leave here with nothing, but I am OK with that. I just need to get the heck out of here. I will figure out what I need to do after I am safely free of Silver Blade.<br /> "Are you ignoring me, Raven? Are you sure you want to do that to me? Fine then, I will just make sure that you get punished for leaving your room. You are not supposed to be out here anyway. I will just let dad know that you are out here, and he will take care of you" Reagan said with a smirk, and then she started mind linking. <br /> I and my wolf were running away from this pack. But they caught us immediately.<br /> "If you come back here now Raven, I won't punish you for leaving your room without permission" I heard my father tell me. <br /> "Nothing in the world could possess me to do that father," I told him, and I see his eyes glazing over as he goes to link someone. I could care less what they have to say to me, and I turned to walk away. <br /> "You will get punishment in the Blood Walker pack. You know how dangerous they are Raven, you have heard this fact for your whole life. They cannot be trusted, and you are now a rogue. We have told you, and the whole pack, exactly what happens to those who trespass on their land. The moment they scent you they will move in, and you will die today. Is that what you want? Do you want to die? I will get you more freedom in the pack. I will allow you to go to the library every day instead of once a week. How does that sound?" my mother's voice is calming and comforting. She has never before sounded as nice as this, and I know that dad put her up to try to lure me back into the Siler Blade pack. They must be desperate to do it, so I want to see how far they intended to go with it.<br /> "Let me ask you this mother. Was the plan to get Justin to take Reagan as a chosen mate her idea, or dad's?" I asked her. Mom is not a very good liar. I can see her expression as we are only about 20 feet apart from each other right now. <br /> "I don't know what you are talking about Raven, they are mates," my mom said to me, and now I smirk at her. Clearly, mom was keeping me out of the loop and doesn't know that I know for a fact that they aren't.<br /> "Thanks for always lying to me mom. That makes it so much easier on me. I will not be coming back to the Silver Blade pack. This is the last time, Goddess willing, that you all will probably see me and actually I am welcoming the death that is coming to me. It will be better than the life I have lived since Reagan tried to hurt me, and my own dad called me a liar when I told him what actually happened. Justin is not her mate mom, and I know this because he is MY mate. It is disgusting what all you three have done to me and allowed to be done to me my whole life. I never deserved to be treated the way I was. I can only hope that I can find my way and get to live a life that allows me to find someone who loves me and realizes that I am a good person. I don't think that is too much to ask for, do you mom? It seems like you and dad are willing to do anything to get me to come back over the fence, but we both know that if I did come back, I would either immediately be thrown in the cells. So, I will take my chances over here, where at least I have a chance" I told them and turned again to leave. I only made it a few steps before I was stopped again by my father's hateful words.<br /> "You are ungrateful daughter, How do you have the nerve to say that to me? I have clothed and fed you, provided you a room, and let you go to school. I did take care of you, and it is disgusting to see how you repay me. Lying about Justin being your mate. Trying to take your sister's mate away from her. I know that I can speak for your mother as well as myself when I say that we hope the Blood Walker pack disposes of you quickly. I only wish I could punish you myself" my dad roared out, and the hate was coming off of him in waves.<br /> "You disgust me father," I told him and the tone I used to draw out the word father let him know just how little I thought of him being my father. "I have never done anything to cause a problem or disruption in the pack, or in the family. I did what I was told this whole time. Even as knowing that you let the whole pack know that I was fair game if they wanted to hurt me, and they did dad, over and over again. You know what, it was my family that really took the award for the most torment. Your unwarranted hate, mom never supporting me, and my sister allowed to try to hurt me, and incite others up against me made me realize that life will be much better on this side of the border than it was on that side. Even if I only live an hour more, it would be better than the years I spent over there."<br /> I wiped off my tears and walked past them, suddenly, I hear something coming to meโฆ<br /> <br /> <br /> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><br /> Wanna listen more? download our App and check more!

How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Kayan<br /> I was betrayed by two people I trusted implicitly, my best friend and my fiancรฉ, or so i thought.<br /> Without saying a word, I bent down and picked up my phone. By this time Dimitri had donned his boxers and his slim fit navy dress pants. Mariana on the other hand was gripping the white sheet, trying to cover her body and was sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> Normally her tears would have stirred some sort of emotion but I felt absolutely nothing looking at her.<br /> Dimitri stepped towards me with his outstretched hand but I stepped back, and when I spoke my own voice surprised me.<br /> Two words, " How long?". I stared at both of them expectantly. Dimitri sighed and rubbed his face, looking at me with regret.<br /> When no response was forthcoming from him, I turned to Mariana and pinned her with a glare. " Shut up Mariana! I asked a question and I need an answer now!" I shouted.<br /> She pulled her knees to her chest as her body shook in fear, she had only seen me angry once so she knew not to taunt me. Dimitri on the other hand, was stunned.<br /> She looked at me and stuttered in fear " S....si...six months", and hung her head low. I absorbed her reply, laughed hysterically, which caught both of them by surprise. They looked at each other shrugging their shoulders and just as I started laughing suddenly, I stopped abruptly.<br /> "Six months you say? I guess this is the part where you'll say it was a mistake, you never meant to hurt me and you're both sorry right?." I spoke calmly, surprising myself.<br /> Dimitri was first to speak " Kay, please I'm so sorry. We were both tipsy after your work anniversary party,and after I dropped her off, everything went to terrible. I'm so sorry baby but..." I laughed again, cutting him off mid sentence.<br /> I held my hand up then turned to Mariana" What about you bimbo, any last words?" Her eyes bulged in fear and I watched her squirm in fear. She knew I could put a bullet between her eyes even with my eyes closed , thanks to my Dad taking me to the pistol range every Saturday for 2 years.<br /> She sprung to her knees, the sheet fell exposing her and I saw all the hickeys along her neck and on her breasts. "Kay please, let's talk about this. I'm so sorry and I regret this. I'm so sorry for hurting you like this, it wasn't planned."<br /> The nerve of this woman, I thought. I should have listened to my gut all those months ago. She kept thwarting our plans, started traveling a lot and would barely take my video calls then. And she kept changing or bashing my wedding plans and like a fool, I brushed it aside.<br /> Dimitri was the same, one business trip after another, late nights and then he was distant. When I asked him about it, he promised to do better than what he did, but there was a subtle change. We no longer have sleep.<br /> Both of them looked at me expectantly, waiting for the weak, docile Kayan to shed tears and assure them everything would be okay.<br /> I dropped my phone into my bag, grabbed my pistol and clicked the safety off. I swiftly fired two rounds which were followed by agonizing screams. I shot Dimitri in his thigh just inches from his shaft while Mariana got hers in her right shoulder. Just enough to cause pain but not be fatal.<br /> I walked out the room but turned to them saying " That's for the betrayal, I never want to see or hear from either of you again. The next time you won't be so lucky."<br /> I descended the stairs shakily, I touched my face checking for tears but there were none. My chest was convulsing but I refused to give in to the pain I was feeling.<br /> As I got to the last step, I looked around, marched over to the fireplace and threw all photos she had of us together into it. I lifted the stoker, broke her 60" Samsung TV and everything went red from thereon. I trashed her apartment then walked out as if nothing happened.<br /> I grabbed my baseball bat from my trunk, smashed all her windows and doors. Just as I about to leave, I saw Dimitri's Silver Range Rover across the street.<br /> How didn't I notice it before?<br /> I walked up to it and repeated my actions. When I was satisfied, I hopped into my van and drove away.<br /> ---- <br /> Dimitri<br /> I couldn't believe Kayan shot us and simply walked away. I had known her for over 6 years but I never encountered this side of her. I knew I deserved that, worst of all, I ruined the one good thing I had done.<br /> I was thinking with my shaft and not my brain, because in assessing the current situation, Mariana was just a good woman. There is attraction, but the feelings I have for Kayan are deeper.<br /> Her sobs reverberated around the bedroom , bringing me back to the current situation.<br /> When Kayan left the room, I heard her trashing Mariana's apartment downstairs and was about to go after her.<br /> Mariana's words stopped me dead in my tracks, "Leave her be, Dimitri, she will kill you! She needs to calm down first before we approach her." I turned to her slowly, trying to ignore the pain and blood gushing from my wound.<br /> "What do you mean Mari? I'm going after her! There is no us. This was a mistake. I need to talk to her!" I ran my hands over my face then slid my belt around my leg making a tourniquet.<br /> She slid off the bed, gripping the sheet with her uninjured shoulder. " Take it from me, we're lucky to be alive! You have never seen her upset or know what she's capable of in this state but I do!" She tiptoed to the door listening for any further sound from downstairs, but was greeted with silence.<br /> Mariana sat on the stairs shaking and crying while gripping her disheveled hair.<br /> The front door was ajar, I moved to lock it but the sight of Mariana's car took my breath away. I looked across the street to mine and it looked even worst.<br /> I shook my head, sighed and turned too quickly, causing a searing pain in the bullet wound.<br /> I called my driver Michael and told him to be quick and discreet.<br /> Mariana got dressed in the meantime while we waited with bated breaths.<br /> Michael arrived in about 10 minutes, his eyes expressed shock but he knew better than to ask any questions.<br /> He drove us to Wyckoff Medical, the only place I knew would be discreet about what happened.<br /> Using the back entrance, we were quickly ushered into separate rooms for assessment.<br /> As I laid on the bed, I felt Dr. Green prodding my wound for the bullet. He's been our family physician since I was a child, so when he asked who I pissed off this time , I sighed and ignored him.<br /> All I could think about was Kayan, she was my everything!<br /> Not anymore you prick, you screwed up and you're lucky to be alive, I shook my head, trying to shake guilt ridden thoughts from my subconscious.<br /> I reminisced on all the times we spent together, the plans we made for our future and our kids. I reflected on how she supported me even when my own father doubted me. She never gave up on me. You shut up Dimitri!<br /> Dr. Green waved his hand above my eyes while calling my name. " Did you hear anything I said just now?" he asked quietly.<br /> I sighed " No, what is it?". My tone was clipped but right now I didn't care, I could apologize later.<br /> He rolled his eyes before continuing "I said there's a detective waiting outside to talk to you, you know it's my duty to report this." He grabbed a scissors and cut the thread, signaling that he had finished stitching my wound.<br /> "You'll live, but stay off your feet for a few days, and use a crutch if you have to move around." Dr. Green bandaged my leg and was about to leave when I stopped him.<br /> "Wait, I apologize for my behavior Doc. Where's the young lady who came in with me? I need to see her now." He looked at me sadly, shook his head and left the room without a word.<br /> My guess is he figured out why Kayan hadn't rushed into the hospital demanding answers. The realization hit me of how I not only disappointed Kayan but everyone close to me, especially my parents. <br /> I must have dosed off from the pain medication I had gotten as I was woken up by Mariana gently shaking my shoulder and calling my name.<br /> Blinking my eyes to adjust to the bright lights, I grabbed the remote and adjusted my bed. Mariana looked terrible, her hair was unkempt and her eyes were swollen. Her right arm was bandaged and now in a sling.<br /> She sat in the chair beside the bed and hung her head low. " I spoke to the police, I told them we were mugged at the apartment as we were trying to finalize wedding arrangements." It was barely a whisper, but I sighed in relief.<br /> "We messed up but I agree, I'll tell them the same thing. Kayan doesn't deserve this." My throat felt hoarse so I reached for a tumbler with water, poured a cup and took several sips.<br /> " I told you we needed to stop Dimitri but you insisted on coming over!" I pinned her with a glare which caused her to shut up immediately.<br /> The nerve of this woman! I laughed coldly before turning to her " Oh so now it's my fault Mar? Surely you weren't complaining when I rammed your wet dripping private part with my shaft right? You never said stop! Anything else I'm forgetting?" My chest was heaving by the time I finished ranting.<br /> I was about to continue but her sobs erupted. She looked at me lost, guilt etched across her face before she stood to leave.<br /> "Look Mar, I'm sorry okay. I just don't know what to do." I held her wrist, my thumb caressing the inside of her hand in a comforting way. "How did she get in though?"<br /> Mariana was trembling as tears streamed down her face. She took a deep breath before she spoke. "I forgot she had a key from over a year ago. She would always check the place when I traveled for a convention or went to see my family."<br /> My mouth opened to speak but no words were forthcoming and they never came as the door banged open, slamming into the wall denting it.<br /> Jumping with fright, we turned to see my very pissed off father and my distraught mother. Before I could utter a word, he spoke," You, get out now and don't let me see your face again!" Mariana jumped in fear and ran from the room sobbing before I could stop her.<br /> "Dad i can explain...." He slammed his hand onto the small table, knocking the tumbler over.<br /> My mom grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down but he flicked her hand away and grabbed my hospital gown roughly, "Explain what exactly Dimitri? How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> "I'm going to fix this Dad, just give me a chance please." I turned towards my mom seeking support but she turned her head away from me. " Mom, please I'm sorry, I'll fix this. I'm gonna make everything right."<br /> My Dad simply scoffed at my words, took my Mom's hands and walked out the door.<br /> The only sound that filled the room was that of the water droplets bouncing on the floor.<br /> ---- <br /> Mariana<br /> I have never been more regretful in my entire life. My head was throbbing non stop, my eyes were puffy from all the tears I'd shed in the past 24 hours. My mind replayed the events and all I could think of, was that I should be dead by Kayan's hands.<br /> My driver dropped me off to the apartment, and as I stepped inside I once again surveyed the damage. Nothing was left untouched, I had to start over but I guess that's the price to pay for stabbing your best friend in the back for six months.<br /> I wanted to stop so many times, I knew it was wrong but Dimitri was like a spirit I couldn't get enough of.<br /> We decided to take the secret to our graves and everything was going great until I saw him a week later at Danny's Cafe. We sat and talked for a while but after an hour when we attempted to leave, the sexual tension was just too much to ignore.<br /> From thereon, we used our lunch breaks and any free time we could muster to screw each other senseless. After each encounter, we'd say it was the last time , but that never happened as soon after I took trips when he did or he came to my apartment before going home.<br /> All this time, I gave Kayan a million excuses as to why we couldn't meet up, continued planning her wedding virtually and offered excuses when she whined about Dimitri being overly consumed by work.<br /> I even ended things with my own boyfriend as our relationship became strained and miserable because of my infidelity.<br /> Now this is the endgame, I lost my best friend who always stood by me and I'm pretty sure Dimitri and I have no future.<br /> Sitting on the stairs, I decided to take a leap of faith and call Kayan. If I could just get her to listen to me for a second, I would tell her how sorry I am and try to fix things.<br /> As I dialed her number, it went directly to voice-mail, and after trying a few more times unsuccessfully, I decided to go see her. I ordered an Uber, waiting outside for a few minutes before the car pulled up.<br /> I got in, gave the driver her address and stared blankly out the window. The only sounds were that of the music playing in the dashboard.<br /> Ten minutes later, I was standing on the curb outside Kayan's townhouse. Hesitantly, I opened the gate, trudged up the steps and rang the bell. I was there waiting for a few minutes, I called her but there was no response.<br /> I walked to the garden by the lamp post where she always hid a spare key. It was gone.<br /> Just as I was about to step from the yard, I was stopped in my tracks by a faint voice. My hopes increased but when I turned around expecting Kayan, no one was there.<br /> What was that then, I thought to myself.<br /> I reopened the Uber app, placed my request and waited by the curb.<br /> "She's not here you know." I was startled by the voice and was relieved to see her neighbor Michael.<br /> "What do you mean? Where is she?" I asked hurriedly.<br /> He eyed me suspiciously before replying,<br /> "Seeing you here looking like poop tells me you had a role in Kay's sudden departure 2 hours ago." His words were true yet hurtful, I castedmy eyes down in shame.<br /> "You don't know, Mike, just tell me where she went, I need to talk to her before it's too late" I begged him.<br /> The prick was nonchalant as he leant against her gate typing away on his phone. After getting a ping, indicating a message, he looked up at me smirking.<br /> "Well if you must know, my girl left for England indefinitely..." he paused, struggling to hold back a snicker, "...Oh and she says you should go yourself or Dimatro, whatever the pretty boy's name is." Michael was now clutching his side laughing hysterically while I sighed in defeat.<br /> She's gone! And now there's no way I will find her because I can't go to her family and I'm pretty sure she's already changed her number!<br /> I didn't warrant Michael a response since the Uber pulled up, I hopped in and left.<br /> My phone began vibrating in my pocket and I grabbed it quickly, just hoping it would be Kayan. I was disappointed as Dimitri's name flashed on the screen.<br /> "What do you want Dimitri? Haven't we done enough, didn't you hear what your father said?" I shouted angrily, catching sight of the driver's raised brows in the rear view mirror.<br /> "Calm down Mari, I wanted to apologize for my Dad. I'm getting discharged now so I'm heading home, I need to sort things out with Kay." Though I had wanted the same thing minutes ago, I couldn't help the pang of jealousy that gripped me.<br /> Before I could stop myself I snarled in response<br /> "Thanks for asking how I'm doing you prick! Oh and don't bother going there because she's gone!"<br /> "What are you talking about Mari! This is not the time to joke with me..." I'd had enough of his nonsense so I cut him mid sentence " Kay's gone Dimitri, I just left the house, she's not home and her neighbor says she left for England." The other end of the line was silent.<br /> I looked at the screen to see if the call had been disconnected but the line was still open.<br /> "Dimitri?" He sighed in response and I heard him grunt in pain, perhaps moving too quickly on his injured leg.<br /> "I'm here Mari. How will I fix things if I don't know where to find her? Of all the places, she had to chose England!? Couldn't she have just gone to her parents? What am I going to do now?"<br /> I wanted to speak but my throat felt as if it was clogged.<br /> I cut the call, switched to airplane mode and rested my head against the window as fresh salty tears rolled down my cheeks.<br /> I lost everything.<br /> My best friend. Dimitri . And a family who accepted me without judgement and showed me nothing but love all these years. | Lio111 | 16 | https://facebook.com/61554822209907 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

You won't talk to me, and every time I get close to you, you scurry away." He put his hands in his pockets.<br /> "Christian, there is nothing to talk about. I don't have time for your gibberish. Don't you have other girls to bother? What can you possibly talk to me about? !" I was losing my cool.<br /> "Natalie, I like you a lot." His eyes were getting dark. That look, there it was again. Desire? "CHRISTIAN!" I yelled. "Spit it out now! What did you come here fโ" Before I could finish my statement, he slammed his lips on me.<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> ~Christian's POV~<br /> Last night I heard my parents talking about Natalie coming home. I knew they were talking about Natalie Adams, the one girl who was untouchable or unapproachable. That vixen thought she was hiding in the shadows but I saw her.<br /> The thing is that she didn't realize how badly guys wanted her. Even if they came up to her it was funny because she would stare at them like they were stupid and her resting b-face said it all. She didn't even have to respond, and because of that they never approached her again. Talk about painted black. I think that was the color of her soul.<br /> The girl was beyond gorgeous. Every time she walked in a classroom or the cafeteria, her dark and mysterious demeanor attracted anyone. She would never know, because when you saw her with her earbuds on, it's as if Natalie was always in her own world.<br /> I wonder where she goes every summer because I never saw her around the pack when school was finished. I was thinking about asking my parents, but that will have to wait.<br /> I was always surrounded or being approached by girls, it never failed. I've slept around and I wasn't ashamed of it because I am an Alpha and an Alpha needs that release. I did have an ex-girlfriend that seemed to not know the meaning of "ex". Elle was always around when I needed an easy contact.<br /> She was Zeo Wilson's sister, our future beta, and was captain of the cheerleader squad. This girl would sometimes scare the other girls away and acted like she owned me. The girl is hot but has a nasty attitude and thinks highly of herself. No shame whatsoever.<br /> Natalie, however, she was the one girl I was profoundly attracted to. I wanted to feel and taste her. She had this strong aura around her and that confused me because I know her parents are warriors, but there was this ambience about her that made me want her more than any other she wolf. Just maybe, maybe she could be my fated mate.<br /> I went on Instagram and just like I assumed, she has her account in private, so you can only see her profile picture. It was a set of earbuds on top of a book in black and white. This girl was fascinating. I wanted to know her so badlyโฆall of her.<br /> I mean come on, who wouldn't want a piece of me. I'm 6 '6, muscular, I have the lightest gray eyes with dirty blonde hair, medium on the top and short sides. I'm every girl's wet dream. I've been told I look like the younger version of Christopher Egan. I'm better looking though.<br /> So I did what I have never done with any other girl. I sent her a friend request on Instagram. "Now the waiting game begins."<br /> ~Natalie POV~<br /> "Pfffsh, no!" He may be attractive, and I won't deny it. After all, I am a girl, and the guy is hot. Every girl may go crazy for him and desire him, but not me. He's a scumbag. His cocky disposition said it all.<br /> He sleeps with anything that has a hole. It's like a stray dog, leave it alone, you don't know where it's been. 'He probably has STDs or something, not to mention where his mouth has been,' Zoe said in disgust. Can't disagree. I know we may be exaggerating, but Christian's been around with almost every chic in that school.<br /> ~<br /> I was already running for 20 minutes, when I sensed another wolf running too. 'A warrior on security watch?' No. My wolf Jasper sensed it was a girl. As I got closer, I smirked. 'Well, well, lookie who it is.' I told Jaz, a shorter name for my wolf.<br /> I knew I would get to her first before she sensed us because Alpha's have stronger abilities than all other wolves.<br /> 'Lucky us. I am fond of this one, Chris.' Jaz said. 'Well let's go say hello, maybe we'll get lucky to allure her.' I said cockily.<br /> As we got closer, she turned around in defensive mode. 'That was odd.'<br /> "What, Christian! What are you trying to do? Give me a heart attack numb nuts!" She said, trying to catch her breath.<br /> I started to laugh, "Woah baby, no need to go in attack mode andโฆnumb nuts?" I said, raising an eyebrow looking offended with her word choice of insult. She was fiery, and her voice sounded hot.<br /> "Yeahโฆwellโฆyou should never sneak up on anyone running ALPHA!" She said angrily.<br /> Every time she spoke, my shaft twitched, and this time, I stepped closer. I smirked and licked my bottom lip. "Nat, you don't have to call me Alpha, just Christian or Chris for short." She noticed the action.<br /> She raised an eyebrow, "OkayโฆChristianโฆbut you will have to call me Natalie. Only my close friends and my parents call me Nat. What are you doing here? Were you stalking me? You know better than anyone never to sneak up on someone like that unless you're looking for a hip whooping," She spat. "You know how rogues don't follow rules and are ruthless killers!"<br /> "Wait, stalking! No, I was out for a run today. Why did you say it like thatโฆwaitโฆunless you saw the friend request." I said, dismissing the rogue statement.<br /> "Pleaseโฆyeah I saw it. Now that you bring it upโฆno." She simply said.<br /> "Noโฆ" I said, looking dumb founded.<br /> "We are not friends, and you have never spoken a word to me, Christian. What did you expect? It would be like you invading my personal space!"<br /> "Speaking of personal space, back off, you keep coming closer, dude." She looked pissed and was already fisting up her hands.<br /> "Shorty, why do you have to be so angry? It's just a friend request, and it's not just from anyone, but from your future Alpha," I chuckled. "Sweetheart, you make it difficult to get near you. In that case, let me get to know you better, Natalie. It's never too late." Now biting my lower lip.<br /> As I got closer, she kept backing up until she hit a tree. I leaned to her face, and I could smell the vanilla scent in her hair. She smelled good. I wanted to peck her badly. But that thought disappeared when I suddenly felt pain down south. 'Did she just hit my balls!' I went down on one knee holding my pair to soothe them.<br /> "Don't for one, think, I am attracted to you or treat me like those other girls you have luring around. I am nothing like them. Never invade my personal space. You may be my Alpha soon, but even the Alpha has to respect his pack members." She looked down on me and if I wasn't more attracted to her than ever.<br /> She was beautiful. 'Chris, mate or not, we want her!' Jaz said, and I couldn't agree more. ' She definitely is unique, Jaz, one of a kind. ' I said as I saw her curvy body making her way back home. My hands ached to touch her.<br /> 'The nerve of that fool' I told Zo. 'Did you see how he was licking his lips like if I was a piece of meat,' I said, all pissed off. 'He was sniffing my hair too! Creep!'<br /> 'You sure kicked him hard, girlie! If I could hi-five you, I would, so I'll do it mentally' she snickered. 'He is cute, though Natie. The guy has muscle. I wouldn't mind seeing his wolf Jasper.' Zoe said.<br /> Ughโฆmaybe so, but he is too arrogant and cocky. Zoe kinda caught me off guard with that comment, though. Traitor.<br /> I ran fast, heading home. So much for a quiet and peaceful run. I got home showered and changed. My parents weren't home. I noticed it was past 9, so I called Evie.<br /> "Good morning Natie! I woke up at 9 thinking you weren't kidding on calling me, but to my surprise, you didn't call on time. That's not you, Nat." She said, concerned.<br /> "Evie, you will never believe what happened to me. Come over so we can talk and head out!"<br /> _____________________<br /> "No freaking way! What are you for reals? ! Christian!" Evie's mouth was wide open.<br /> "The devil in the flesh Ev's!" I told her. I explained what happened this morning about receiving his friend request and what happened on my run, almost scaring the pee out of me by sneaking up on me. The way he caged me by a tree and how he was acting weird, like trying to make a move on me.<br /> "Nat, Christian has the hots for you." She said in a teasing voice. Christian is not a one woman man. "Ev's, no dude. Honestly, there is only one guy that I really would like to know andโฆugh," I said, now feeling a little sad.<br /> "Who! ? Ivan Carter? ! He is an attractive one, buddy."<br /> Ivan Carter belongs to another pack, the Midnight Pack. He is the son of Alpha Easton Carter. He also attends the academy, and every time I sneak a peek at him, my body reacts to him. I've touched myself just thinking about him.<br /> 'You ain't lying Nat, he's a total package.' Zoe said breathlessly.<br /> 'Okay make up your mind! ? I chucked.<br /> I have never gotten close to him or talked to him. Well it's my fault, actually. I don't like getting close to anyone, and I was scared that he didn't feel the same way. I can't get my hopes up anyway. He's meant to be an Alpha. We shouldn't really mess with Alphas either way. I've heard Alpha's can choose their mates as well, but a true fated mate can make a strong heir.<br /> He also has this chic that is always around him, Camila Ares. She is next in line for Gamma in his pack. She is always with or on him. She freaking irritates me.<br /> 'He doesn't look interested in her, but they are always together. Well him and his click.' Zoe putting her two cents in. 'Yup,' I sighed.<br /> "Evie, do you think this year will be different? I don't know if I'm ready to see who I'm mated to." I can't believe I sound so down. I mentally slapped myself, I got up and shook off all of those unwanted emotions and thoughts.<br /> I'm scared of these feelings I have for Ivan, only to be hurt if he's mated with someone else, which probably will happen. I have to do something fast and stop whatever this is before I get a broken heart.<br /> "Nat, you're gorgeous, and anyone mated to you will be lucky as heck because you are one of a kind! To answer your question, yes! This is our year!" She leaned over and gave me a big hug.<br /> "You're gorgeous too, buddy. Anyone would be lucky to have you as a mate. I'll kick your mate's hip if he thinks otherwise. I got your back, babe!"<br /> We got up and headed for my car. My parents had gotten me a used Red, fourth generation Camaro from 2004, on my 16th birthday. I love my car.<br /> I rammed my engine and headed to town.<br /> ~Ivan's POV~<br /> "Alpha Ivan! Hey, earth to Alpha!" Jerry hollered. "I'm right next to you idiot" I growled. "Put me on the spot, why don't you."<br /> Jerry Scott is my Delta, and he's already taking charge since his father stepped down. He is the head warrior and trains our pack members.<br /> Training is about to start, and we are about to spar each other.<br /> I will soon become Alpha of the Midnight Pack. At the age of 18, the current Alpha, my father, Easton Carter, will step down, and I will claim my place as Alpha.<br /> I got distracted with my thoughts. In a few weeks I'll be going back to school at the Blue Moon Academy. It's our last year, and I'm anxious, though. There's this girl that has been on my mind rent-free. I haven't made the effort to talk to her. It seems she's not the talkative kind and brushes anyone away.<br /> This year will be different. I will make the initiative to get closer to her. I'm all giddy just thinking about her. When I think about her face, her hair, and her body, I get turned on. Natalie Adams makes me feel things I've never felt for anyone.<br /> Striker, my wolf puts these images in my head of us sleeping. 'There is something about this girl Ivan, that when I see her, it makes me go crazy, she belongs to us. That aura around her when she is pissed is captivating?' Striker says calmly.<br /> It's not common when a person's wolf feels infatuated with a certain person who is not their mate. I've heard that Alpha's get signs if a girl belongs to them, but we haven't been too close to her to sense any of those signs. Honestly, I wouldn't even know the signs if they were there.<br /> Just watching her from afar has been enough for us both these past years. But it's time to change that because just looking at her is not sufficient anymore. We need and want more of her.<br /> However, he's right. We've seen people piss her off from a distance. She doesn't show emotion like other girls, but when she is angry, her aura is strong, and with that, she scares them off. She's fierce.<br /> Her demeanor says it all. I can't put my finger on it. Only wolves with high rankings have that type of aura that demands respect and obedience.<br /> But if I am correct, her parents are warriors from Christian's pack. Soโฆit can't be possible. Werewolves take their rankings seriously. Well, most of us. That's just the way it should be. Your destined mate and you should make a strong heir.<br /> It also irks me of the fact that Christian has had his eyes on her. It sucks that she is from his pack. You can see the gleam in his eyes when she walks into the lunchroom. My wolf wants to peek out and claw his eyes out each time. Arrogant nutsack.<br /> 'That's true. Should we do a bit of research regarding her family line?' Striker eagerly says. 'Yeah, maybe we should. Just maybe there is something more to her, and by luck, we could have a chance to be mated to her.' With that thought, I couldn't help but smile.<br /> You may ask, what is it about this girl that makes her so interesting? Well, she is definitely not like the girls at school or my pack. She is attractive, and that fierce, mysterious, emotionless demeanor she gives out makes her so alluring. Makes you curious about her personality and what she thinks. This girl attracts unwanted attention without even trying.<br /> All other girls yearn for that attention and throw themselves at guys, but not her. She also doesn't give any guy her undivided attention. It's like no one exists around her. She is in her own world.<br /> "Ay, what's that on your face! Are you smiling? Wipe that off Alpha, ain't nobody got time for that when you're about to get a beat down." Jerry says laughing.<br /> โฆand just like that, my face is emotionless.<br /> 'Alright, you got jokes!' I scowl. Turning around, I yelled, "BEGIN!"<br /> _________<br /> After our training, I headed to the pack house. As I open the front door and head to the stairs, I hear footsteps behind me, and someone jumps on my back. I knew it was Camila because of her scent. It's too flowery and strong for my liking. Striker growls.<br /> Everyone thinks that we are together, but that is far from the truth. We are friends with benefits. I don't feel anything for her, honestly. Striker gets pissed off. He dislikes her scent and voice.<br /> He only accepts it if we imagine Natalie beneath us.<br /> "Get off me, Camila! I'm your Alpha!" I yelled. She flinched and quickly got off. I already do Alpha affairs as I'm slowly transitioning into the labors of a true leader. I take my job seriously because leading is what I do best.<br /> "What's wrong baby, you've been distant lately? You don't want me anymore? You haven't invited me up to your room. It's been weeks now, Ivan." She said, with her whiny voice.<br /> Striker snapped, 'She better remember her place, Ivan! It's Alpha to this bimbo!'<br /> I palm my face. "ALPHA! ALPHA IVANโฆCAMILA! ! ! Don't forget my title and don't forget your place." I growled. I was being a scumbag.<br /> Don't get me wrong, Camila is hot. She is 5'8 taller than most girls, with chocolate brown hair. She has these pretty hazel orbs. However, she has an ugly attitude, especially with girls that get close to me. I can't stand that. I may have slept with her a couple of times, but I feel nothing for her. She is not Natalie.<br /> ~<br /> "What's up Ivan, you rang! ?" Pointing at his head trying to be funny.<br /> Jerry, Axel, and Camila are allowed to call me Ivan without using my title. Especially if we are alone or having a group conversation with just the four of us.<br /> However, Camila has been irritating me lately. I may have acted like a scumbag but I have to somehow hammer it in her head that we are not a thing.<br /> I said this before, but I take my position seriously. Being a leader is a serious matter and the decisions I make can have a life or death impact on my pack.<br /> From here forward, she will have to understand that I can not condone that type of disrespect especially if we are not together. I allowed it in my bedroom but now, things have changed. She also has to take her position seriously. If and when I find my Luna, she will be the one to be protecting her. That's the role of a Gamma.<br /> "Yup, I got a mission for you. But this is low key." I said glaring at him.<br /> "Okay, whatcha got? !" Jerry said now sounding excited.<br /> "You remember Natalie Adams from the academy? From Christian's Pack." I asked.<br /> "Yeahโฆwho doesn't! She's freaking hot!" He sheepishly replied.<br /> "Watch it! I want you to look into her family background," I said possessively.<br /> He covered his mouth and jokingly said, "Whaaaโฆ? !" I pinched the bridge of my nose and furrowed my brows. "Well can you or can you not! ?" sounding bothered now.<br /> He chuckled, "Of course I can, anything for you bro. Is there something I should be concerned about though or something I am looking for in specific?"<br /> "Have you ever noticed the aura she gives out at times? I sense power and strength like if she comes from a higher rank, but her parents are warriors," I calmly said. It may not be a big deal but I'm curious now.<br /> "I just think there's more than meets the eye with her," I wasn't lying. "She is so different. It's like Camila, she's a Gamma because of her dad, but Natalie seems to be stronger than a Gamma if you get my drift."<br /> "Ah, okay, okay, I get it. I'll get to it. You don't have to explainโฆit makes sense," he said. "This can not leave this room. This is between you and me," I said, trusting him.<br /> The less people know what I do, the better. It may be stupid to others but for me, this is imperative.<br /> "Got it!" Jerry said leaving the room. Jerry is my best tracker and hacker when it comes to technology. He is a genius, very observant, and fast. That is why he is our Delta. | Cra0001 | 35 | https://facebook.com/100091661543152 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Instantly, my muscles all revolted against that idea. My entire body was sore, but my core made sure to remind me that it'd taken a beating the night before. I wiped my eyes and sat up, unsure of where I was for a moment. Until I looked around. There were toned and undressed hips all around me. I smiled to myself as I captured the image in my mind for rainy days in my future. Mack, Jones, and Xavier were all tangled in the different blankets they'd brought with them to bed the night before. Earlier that morning, really.<br /> The back of the tour bus was a bedroom, fitted with one massive bed that took up the entire room. The normal tour bus accommodations existed between the bathroom and large bedroom, but no one had volunteered to sleep in their usual bed. They'd each found a way to wrap around me in the big bed and didn't miss the chance to take me once more before we passed out for good.<br /> ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ<br /> Layla<br /> "Oh, yeah! Eat me, Matty!" The woman screaming for my boyfriend was the lead singer of a moderately popular band called The Homewreckers. It was an aptly named band, apparently. Of course, she sounded amazing as she screamed. I always felt like a choking chimpanzee when I came out loud.<br /> I stood in the doorway of The Homewreckers' dressing room and took a deep breath. Unfortunately, it was scented with weed. "Hey, Matthew?"<br /> Matthew, who'd always told me he hated being called Matty, yanked his head out of Miriam Dark's private part and spun around to face me. It was almost comical how fast he spun and how wide his eyes were. He was white collar handsome. His hair was always perfectly cut, his eyebrows were never too long or bushy, and he shaved his face twice a day. He had nice blue eyes and a nice smile. Nice body, nice manhood, nice guy. Well, maybe not a nice guy. After all, his face was covered in another woman's private partl fluids.<br /> "Layla! What are you doing here?" He climbed to his feet and I watched in disgust as he shoved his flaccid manhood back into his nice dress pants. Then, as an afterthought, he wiped his face and stumbled closer to me. "This isn't..."<br /> I rolled my eyes. "It isn't what it looks like? God, Matthew, at least be original."<br /> Miriam took her time closing her legs and gently patted Matthew's shoulder. "Are we done here, Matty? Or do you think you'll be finished soon and want to finish here?"<br /> Laughing, I rolled my shoulders and leveled a hard stare at Matty. "We're done. Whatever we had is over, so feel free to finish playtime with whoever and whatever. I'm on vacation for a few days, so don't call me."<br /> He rushed after me and grabbed my arm. "Wait a second, Layla. I'm sorry. I messed up. Just give me a second to explain."<br /> I yanked my arm free and scowled at him. "Don't touch me."<br /> "Come on, Layla. Don't be like this. Talk to me. I feel terrible." He tried to take my hand again. "Please, baby."<br /> I wasn't going to let him see that I was upset. He didn't deserve that. Instead, I stepped away from him and snarled. "Touch me and I'll break every one of your fingers, Matty. Go and finish sleeping with your client. I believe she's still waiting."<br /> "Jesus. You work for me, Layla! How do you think this is going to go?"<br /> I backed away from him. "I think it's going to go just fine. Like I said, I'm on vacation. Don't call me. Don't message me. Don't think about me. As my ex-boyfriend or my boss."<br /> " Maybe not you, the perfect Layla.You have to accept that." He followed me. "I know that. I shouldn't have started anything with Miriam, but when I'm on the road with the band, it's hard. I miss you and she's there."<br /> My heart hardened and I took a deep breath. "How long have you been sleeping with her?"<br /> He swallowed so hard I saw his Adam's apple bobble. "Come on, Layla. None of this will matter. I'll stop. I'll stop and we can get engaged. You want that, right?"<br /> I gagged. "Ew, Matthew. There's not a chance that I'm getting engaged to you! I'd rather stick my papilla in a truck winch and turn it on."<br /> Miriam sauntered out of her dressing room topless and looked me over. "We've been slept for a year. Matty eats private part like a champ."<br /> A real smile stretched my lips. "Now I know you're full of foolish talk. He might get an climax, but a champ? Hardly. Anyway, enjoy him. I hope him not having a girlfriend doesn't ruin your lady boner."<br /> "Miriam, go back inside! Layla, just stop and talk to me!"<br /> Miriam and I both answered Matthew in unison. <br /> I looked at her and shrugged. "Maybe you're not all bad."<br /> Without waiting for either of them to say anything else, I turned around and walked away, ignoring Matthew as he called my name. Eventually he stopped and I walked faster. I needed to get out of there before I cried. I wasn't about to cry backstage at a music festival. Someone would probably jump out and tit punch me as some anti-crying ritual.<br /> As I walked faster, I couldn't fight the way my eyes filled with tears. No matter how lackluster Matthew was, I'd devoted years of my life to him. I'd just wasted my vacation time on him, too. I thought sneaking out to meet him on the road would be fun and lend some much needed excitement to our relationship. Things hadn't been good...ever...but I'd hoped that we could at least get back to a place where I didn't dread seeing him at work every day.<br /> I wiped at my eyes and felt the mascara I'd coated my eyelashes with earlier. Stupid. I swore and stomped my way farther away from Matthew and the ugly end of our relationship. The image of his hip in the air while he happily ate Miriam Dark's hoo-hah like a pig in slop would forever be burned into my memory.<br /> I couldn't wait to get back home to my apartment and destroy everything of Matthew's that he'd left behind. I needed to update my social media. I didn't do much on it anymore, but I couldn't stand the idea of people thinking I was still with the loser. I'd have to call Grandma. That thought made me want to sob. She hated Matthew, but she liked that I wasn't alone in LA. Knowing I was single again was going to worry her. And if she told Jagger, my older brother, about me being single, Jagger would call and demand to know what'd happened. Then, he would try to fly out and kick Matthew's hip. It was just a mess.<br /> Growling out a frustrated sound, I looked down to make sure I stepped over a big mess of cords. I couldn't believe someone had left the stage like that. It was a hazard. Not to mention, it would be so easy to show if someone tripped over the wrong cord.<br /> I should've been paying attention because when the crowd's wild cheering broke through my self-pitying stupor, I looked up to see how close I'd gotten to the main stage. Unfortunately, a man with a guitar was coming off the stage, looking back at another man behind him. I was moving too fast to stop in time and he wasn't looking. It happened so fast that I didn't even make a sound as I smacked right into the man and felt pain before bouncing off his hard body and going down hard. Those tangled cords.<br /> I heard a deep voice growl above me, but I reached up to feel my forehead and felt something wet. I knew my eyes went as wide as softballs and when I pulled my fingers down and saw red, I groaned. Blood was my kryptonite. My vision darkened and I gagged on my way down.<br /> <br /> Mack<br /> "Well." By the time I realized what was happening, the curvy brunette was flat on the ground. I dropped to my knees next to her and swore when I saw the blood on her forehead. "This is a new form of falling for me."<br /> Xavier squatted on her other side and frowned. "Not really a great time for joking. You knocked her out."<br /> Jones sighed and ran his hands through his hair. "Where'd she come from? Also, maybe look where you're going from now on. You ran the poor thing over. Big time."<br /> I brushed her hair out of her face and had a completely ridiculous moment of feeling like I was staring down at Sleeping Beauty. She was gorgeous. I gently patted her soft cheek. "Ma'am? Hello?"<br /> "Great work. She's jumping right to life." Jones looked over his shoulder. "You've got about thirty seconds to get her on her feet and out of the way before the crowd beats back security and runs back here."<br /> I could hear the commotion he was hearing and ground my teeth. We'd just come off an amazing show. I had planned on going to a bar and getting hammered. Taking care of a Disney princess hadn't been in my plans, but it didn't look like I had an option. I couldn't just leave her on the ground and I didn't know any of the stage hands enough to trust them with an unconscious woman.<br /> "Fine." I stood up and lifted her body over my shoulder. Her head and arms hung limply and bounced off my hip, but I figured it was better for her than getting trampled to death. "Let's get her to our bus and get the medics to check her out. She'll be safe there until she can wake up and go."<br /> Xavier nodded once and charged ahead, clearing a path. He was a giant of a man and no one was dumb enough to stay in his way. They didn't understand what a gentle soul he was. I was thankful for that when they jumped out of our way, though. Especially with a crowd of rabid fans chasing after us.<br /> Jones barked at security to make sure no one followed us out into the artist lot and slammed the heavy metal door shut behind us. He swore and scowled at the door like it was the problem. "What do we even pay security for if they can't keep people away?"<br /> The woman over my shoulder groaned and grabbed my hips. I waited to see if she would say anything else, but she didn't. Her arms fell limp again and I released a breath at not having her scream and freak out while dangling over my shoulder.<br /> "I'll call the medic." Xavier hurried ahead to the bus.<br /> "This puts a damper on my plans." I sighed and glanced over at Jones. "We put on a good show and I was planning on drinking my face off to celebrate."<br /> "The medics are quick. We'll get her taken care of, apologize, and then send her on her way. With the medics, hopefully." He ran his eyes over the full hip over my shoulder. "Too bad you knocked her out before seeing if she wanted to drink with us."<br /> I laughed. "She sure is pretty. I doubt she'll be in a forgiving mood, though. I should've been looking at where I was going."<br /> "Why change now? Forget what I said earlier. We're in our forties. Let's not waste our time. Old dogs and new tricks, you know." He reached the bus before me and opened the door. "You put your guitar down."<br /> I winced. "I'll send a text to Shane as soon as I put her down."<br /> "I'll do it now. They're going to have to chase down whatever fan saw it and took it, probably. I highly doubt it's still sitting where you left it."<br /> I didn't want to think about my baby being in someone else's hands so instead, I focused on the woman in my arms. I climbed the steps and entered the bus, letting the cool AC wash over my overheated skin. The first space on the bus was a living room with four comfortable couches and I eased the unconscious woman down on one of them.<br /> Stretched out on the couch, her curves were even more noticeable. She was wearing tight black jeans and a low-cut top that was black and mostly straps and lace. I didn't get it, but I liked it. It was bad for me to notice her body, but the top curves of her breasts were spilling out of the shirt deliciously.<br /> I forced my eyes to her forehead and frowned. The cut was definitely from my baby. It looked like either a cord or a corner of my guitar had hit her just perfectly to leave a small cut. The skin around the cut didn't look too angry and overall, she looked okay. Besides being unconscious. I ran my hands under the back of her head and felt around to see if I found a lump from her hitting her head on the ground, but there was nothing.<br /> "The medics are tied up at another stage." Xavier growled in frustration and stared down at the woman. "Cut looks fine. Anything along the back of her head?"<br /> I shook my head. "No. She seems fine, honestly."<br /> "I don't like that she passed out." He sat down across from her and rested his elbows on his knees. "Go ahead and shower. I'll watch over her until you're back."<br /> Xavier, Jones, and I had served in the military together. We'd each done enough time to know how to take care of basic medical emergencies and several other things we'd never need in civilian life. It'd been a long time since any of us had to do first-aid in the field, but we could still hold our own.<br /> "Sure. I'll be fast." I winced. "I'm the one who plowed her over. I should be the one that has to explain it."<br /> I showered as fast as possible in the small bus bathroom but I still wasn't fast enough. By the time I shut the water off, I could already hear a husky female voice I didn't recognize ranting away. I wrapped a towel around myself and rushed out to apologize and get her to stop chewing out Jones and Xavier.<br /> What I found wasn't her chewing them out, though. She was pacing back and forth in front of where they sat on their own couches with her hands on her hips and fury on her face. She wasn't angry at us, though. Nope. It seemed another man had pissed in her cereal that morning.<br /> "This is just the cherry on the cake. Why not get a scar to memorialize the day I walked in on my boyfriend cheating on me? I'm so angry I could punch him in the manhood."<br /> I swear all three of us males cringed. I also had to rearrange my thinking. She was no Disney princess. She had spunk, to say the least.<br /> "She had the nerve to brag about his oral skills. Please. I literally have had better climaxs humping my hand. Either her needs are rock bottom, which is great for her if that's the case, or she was just lying to try to hurt me. I'm embarrassed, sure! It's not everyday you walk in on your boyfriend motorboating Miriam Dark's private part lips, but whatever. I'm just pissed. I came all the way here. I shaved. I put lotion on every inch of my body. Even the backs of my knees. Did I care that they're going to get sweaty faster now? Nope. I wanted to be smooth."<br /> I leaned against the doorway and let myself really look at her. She was taller than I'd thought and had legs that stretched on for miles. The black jeans hugged her full hip and hips in a way that made my mouth water. Her waist clipped in just enough that my hands would fit in the notch perfectly if I was taking her from behind. Her shirt made her full breasts look even more delicious while she was standing and I was at half-mast almost immediately.<br /> Her body, as stunning as it was, nearly touched on the beauty that was her face. Her big blue eyes were surrounded by dark eyelashes and her pouty mouth was stained red. She had dark brown hair down to her shoulders that curled wildly. If she hadn't been swearing, her creamy skin would've really made her look like a Disney princess. She could've probably gone down to Florida and got a job playing one of them right then. I'd never been attracted to a Disney princess before, though.<br /> "And you want to know the worst part? I work for the stupid prick. And no, before anyone has the jackass assumption that I'm sleeping my way into my position, I'm not. I'm better at his job than he is and I've been sticking around for even longer than I should've because he kept promising that he'd put in a good word with his boss for me. Because I deserve it. I do his work. I can't remember the last time he's had to do a single thing. At least he chose to sleep with Miriam himself. Although, I'm pretty sure I'd be better at that, too."<br /> Jones snorted and held up his hands when the little firecracker spun on him. "I'm not disagreeing with you, honey. I'm just enjoying hearing you eviscerate this manhoodhead."<br /> She stared at him and slowly her face darkened and she brought her hand up to cover her mouth. She looked absolutely distressed and I hated it.<br /> "What's wrong?" I made myself known and was rewarded with watching her eyes trail down my chest. The way her eyes got all bedroom heavy and she licked her lips turned that almost solid shaft into a full blown shaft. I had to shift to hide it from her curious eyes.<br /> She glanced back at Jones and then at Xavier. "Oh."<br /> Xavier stood up and inched towards her. "Are you okay? Your head... Is it hurting?"<br /> She looked up at him and I saw the way her body naturally swayed towards my giant of a best friend. Something about that made me want to hug her. Some women treated Xavier and his size like a threat and it hurt him. "Oh. I can't believe I didn't realize before now. You're JAX."<br /> Jones sighed and nodded. "Yep."<br /> She pushed her curls back from her face. "Don't worry. I'm not going to fangirl. I'm just mortified. I work for your record label and this is now the most unprofessional vacation I've ever taken. I have to go. Can you just forget you ever saw me?" | Libb002 | 48 | https://facebook.com/61551403614101 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

My chin begins to wobble as tears form in my eyes.<br /> I shouldn't be crying, but I know that he won't accept me. I'm ruined ... I'm marked, claimed to be someone elses ...<br /> "Why are you crying?" he inches closer and only stops when he's in front of me. I want to fall into his arms, to beg him not to reject me, to save me, but how can I when I'm claimed ...<br /> "You're going to reject me." my eyes squeeze shut as I suck my lips into my mouth.<br /> "You might be marked, but I can fix that."<br /> "How?" I stare up at him with teary eyes, "We remove it." he shrugs, his eyes filled with lust.<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> JESSICA'S POV<br /> Nick and I have been married for three years, we are high school sweethearts and married when we were twenty when neither of us found our mates. These days, fated mates are rare and hard to come by ... we both agreed I'd be a good Luna to the pack since I trained with him, I learned to be a luna from his mother and we have been inseparable since we were in diapers.<br /> He's my best friend and my true love.<br /> We made a promise to never leave, to never break the bond, to never reject one another when we found our real mates, which is likely to never happen.<br /> We are attending a ball tonight, but my insides are twisted, as if the Moon Goddess herself wants to shield me from whatever is going to happen, I tried to talk Nick into staying at home, but as stubborn like all alpha's are, he refused and said that we would get a bad name if we didn't attend.<br /> Sitting in the car while our driver takes us to a nearby pack, a strong and mighty one.<br /> I know it's our duty to attend, but holding his hand in the back seat, something is terribly wrong.<br /> We arrive and there are a line of cars outside, one by one driving by , guests getting out, wearing gowns and suits.<br /> It's our turn and Nick opens the door, holding his hand out to me and I happily take it as we get out, photos are taken and a red carpet is rolled out as if we were famous.<br /> Nick looks handsome with his dark blonde hair gelled back, his chiseled jaw tense, and the edges of his lips curled up into a small smile.<br /> We arrive inside and we're led to the ballroom, servants with trays walking with snack food and drinks pace all over while the guests stand and chat.<br /> I notice the alpha of The Deep Mountain pack greeting people, making rounds to greet and speak, there's a stage in the middle against the wall, a bar to the side and a dance floor in the middle where couples are dancing elegantly.<br /> I smile at my surroundings and freeze when I look at Nick, staring at a beautiful dark haired girl .<br /> "Nick." I tug at his hand, but it's like he's under a spell, frozen in time as the girl stares back at him.<br /> "Nick." I tug harder, his shoulder shrugging back, "Huh?" he turns to me with a frown, his fingers letting go of my hand and I feel cold.<br /> "I'm going to grab a drink." he smiles at me before walking off towards the bar, closer to the strange woman.<br /> I was an omega and the room is filled with power, I could even feel hers because she is of a higher rank.<br /> I gulp as I watch him walk to the bar, his eyes locked on hers and she elegantly turns in her navy blue dress, walking towards him with dark lustful eyes.<br /> I can't be ... but it is ... it's his mate ..<br /> I stand frozen and a shoulder bumps into me, making my head turn at the woman glaring and snarling, "Watch where you are going!" she scolds and I apologize before walking over to the bar, joining my mate's side while he absentmindedly stares at the woman next to him.<br /> I clear my throat, but there's no response from him.<br /> He doesn't even notice me ..<br /> "Nick." I smile , hope filling my heart as he glances at me, fear flashing through his perfect green orbs as he steps back and then looks at her again.<br /> "Jess, this is Tiffany ... my mate." he smiles awkwardly at me but when he looks at her, it's a genuine smile ...<br /> "Nick." I frown in concern and he takes my hand, giving it a tight squeeze, "Don't worry, I know what to do." he smiles, "Shall we talk outside?" the gloominess in his eyes makes me relax only for a minute until she holds out her hand, smiling gracefully with her full lips and pretty blue eyes.<br /> My heart sinks when her hand hooks into his arm and they head to the balcony. alone ...<br /> I should go with ... but it is a private matter.<br /> 'He's ours...' Zola, my wolf, whimpers.<br /> I stand at the bar, staring carelessly at my mate walking off with his true mate and I inch closer, frowning as every nerve in my body is burning to follow them.<br /> I glance around and there are so many people that they don't even notice until the Luna of the Deep Mountain pack steps closer, "Jessica, is it? From the West Pack?" I nod, trying not to be rude when I look at the balcony and not at her while she speaks to me.<br /> "Oh honey, it's done." she shakes her head and I frown, cocking my head at her in confusion.<br /> "What do you mean?" My eyes stare into her honey ones.<br /> "He found his mate, I'm sorry but it's fated and you are now the other woman." she sighs, glancing at the balcony doors.<br /> I stare at her, my heart racing a million miles an hour and I excuse myself.<br /> I step out of the house, moving around the arriving couples when I feel my heart squeeze, pain taking over and I know what it meant ... Disgust fills me and I start to run, glancing over my shoulder no one notices and I shift, my beautiful pastel pink dress ripping to shreds as I run into the woods.<br /> The pain had stopped, but I did not return home until after midnight, finding Nick sitting on the couch, watching tv.<br /> "Jessica, where have you been?" he stands as I slam the door shut, standing undressed in front of him.<br /> I cross my arms over my chest, glaring at him. "Excuse me?" I shake my head at him, "Where have I been? What have you been doing!" I growl, making his eyes widen in shame and his gaze flicks to the floor when he scratches his nape.<br /> "That's what I thought, you couldn't even resist ten minutes before sleeping her, could you?" I see the pure rage filling me.<br /> "I didn't, I swear..." he promises, but I don't believe him.<br /> Scoffing, I strut past the couch to our room, "Can we talk?" he yells and I turn , "Did you reject her?" I frown and he falls silent, raking a hand through his hair.<br /> "Then no, we can't ." I turn and walk to our room.<br /> He follows me, closing the door behind us, "Jess, I love you. I promise I will reject her, I just ... I couldn't, it's much more difficult than you think." he frowns, explaining himself.<br /> "And will you go and do it?" I grab clothes from the closet, "I will, just ... I need time." he begs and I snort, "Can I come when you do it?" the silence says it all, he doesn't want me there ...<br /> "You're saying you'll do it, but you won't, because you are weak." I tut, shaking my head.<br /> "I will, I just need to distance myself, to keep myself away and then I'll do it when I have the strength to." he explains, his eyes pleading for forgiveness.<br /> I hum, ignoring him as I strut past him toward the bathroom and he reaches for me, grabbing my wrist and I snarl at him, making him let me go instantly, "Don't touch me after sleeping someone else." I grit out, backing up into the bathroom and I slam the door shut, the heavy thud shaking the windows and I lock the door.<br /> I take a hot shower, the water pouring down on me as my back slides down the tiled wall, tears streaming down my face as I weep.<br /> I hear the door handle jiggle and I wipe the fog from the glass door, staring at the handle go up and down as he tries to enter.<br /> I feel a tug at the mind link, but I shut him out.<br /> He disgusts me, he promised, both of us promised one another that we would immediately reject our mates before the bond grew and he is letting it grow, making it ten times more difficult to reject them.<br /> I can't believe I trusted him ... I expose his mark in the crook of my neck, I hold our love dear in my heart and he just let it all go down the drain, letting it sink into the sewers.<br /> I am nothing under his shoe and here I am, still loving him with every breath I take.<br /> After sitting more than an hour under the steaming water, it turns cold and I sit for another half an hour before standing and I shut the water off, taking my time to get dressed and when I stride out in silk booty shorts and a thin strap silk top, I notice how Nick lays in bed, his thumbs circling one another as he stares at the ceiling.<br /> He doesn't even notice me and I am sure he's thinking about her.<br /> The one who stole his heart within a second, the one who is going to steal my life, my bed, my position and my mate.<br /> We are real mates, we accepted one another, we marked each other, we might not be fated, but we are real or we were before her.<br /> ==<br /> My heart starts racing as we head further up the stairs, my pulse is beating in my ears and the musky scent is intensifying. When we reach the top, there's an entire living room in the middle and then two halls, but the scent up here is stronger ... "What's that smell?" I ask Louis without hesitation. He turns to me, his arched brows furrowing together, "The sweaty smell? Must be Nate, my alpha, but please, call him Alpha Nathaniel, he doesn't like strangers calling him Nate, or anyone else. As his best friend, I have perks." he winks at me, his smile so genuine and he seems like a totally different guy in his own pack than what he was at the party.<br /> I wet my lips and it still stings, it's taking forever to heal but I could feel it start from the inside.<br /> "Louis! Have you seen my phone?" Nate's voice comes from the opposite hall. "No, I've been out doing your job!" Louis yells back and the power lingering in the air is suffocating me. I'm stiff and upset about the stupid dress I thought would impress Nick.<br /> "Come.." Louis tugs me down the other hall, away from Alpha Nathaniel and once I enter his room, I'm shook. Everything is so white except for a few decorations. "Wow." I breathe out, his room is bigger than Nick and I's.<br /> He marches over to his closet and grabs a shirt, tossing it at me, "The bathroom is over there." he nods behind me and I turn, smiling before looking over my shoulder at him, "I'll be right back." he struts over to the door and I head inside the bathroom, the white marble walls knock the air right out of my lungs and I stand for two minutes and just look at everything.<br /> The bathtub looks huge, almost like a hot tub, the shower has benches built in and is large with great shower head equipment, the sink is built into a large white counter with beautiful engraved cupboards below it.<br /> I quickly undress and put Louis' white shirt on that fits me like a dress. I drape my dress over my arm and pick up my heels before exiting the bathroom, standing awkwardly looking at the bed ... wondering if he'll come back to peck me ...<br /> I know I shouldn't think of it, but I've been feeling so alone ... It doesn't matter if Nick slept next to me last night, his mind wasn't with me ... he didn't want me in his bed ... he wanted her.<br /> He didn't even come near me when all I wanted was for him to hold me, to tell me I'm still important too ... but he didn't. When he climbed into bed, he turned his back to me and fell asleep, but it seemed forced, like he didn't want to see me at all.<br /> The door opens and Louis stands there, his eyes trailing me standing in his shirt. "You are tiny, aren't you?" he comes inside, holding out his hand and I take it, "Let's get that dress fixed." he grins and leads me down the hall again.<br /> Before taking the first step, a clearing of a throat makes us stop, "Louis, who's this?" Alpha Nathaniel's voice makes a shiver run down my spine and Louis turns first, "Jessica." he smiles and before he could explain anything, I turn, freezing when our eyes lock.<br /> My lips part as I stare into Alpha Nathaniel's beautiful olive orbs, his entire body language changes, his laid back look now tense.<br /> "Mate." he growls lowly and I gasp, fear and excitement mixing inside of me. My stomach flutters and Louis let's go of me, stepping aside, "Nate, I didn't know." he moves away from me and Alpha Nathaniel's eyes lock on my busted lip, his eyes flicking a bright silver as he looks at Louis, "What happened to her lip?" he grits out, anger clear in his tone.<br /> "Her..." , "Wait!" I blurt out, looking at Louis with pleading eyes and Alpha Nathaniel's head snaps to my direction, curiosity visible in his gaze, "Why wait?" Alpha Nathaniel asks, his tone calm when speaking to me.<br /> "I just ... I think I should tell you." I pick at my nails nervously, hoping that he wouldn't reject me.<br /> Louis walks over to me, "Give me the dress, I'll get it cleaned." he smiles and Alpha Nathaniel gives him a weird look as I hand it over.<br /> "Excuse me." Louis mutters before trotting down the stairs, leaving me alone with Alpha Nathaniel.<br /> "So, what happened?" he asks, his muscles tensing. I want to inch closer, every fibre of my being wants to be near him ... but his gaze falls to my neck, looking at the mark embroidered into my flesh.<br /> "My mate his Louis for dancing with me and he accidentally hit me too ... I was in the way." his eyes flash bright, anger written all over his face, "Accidentally?" he frowns, dragging his large veiny hand through his black hair. "Yes, I believe so." I gulp, his aura makes me feel like running away.<br /> "And you have a mate..." his eyes narrow on my mark and I feel the need to just claw it off.<br /> "My mate found his mate and now I'm just ... the luna of our pack." My chin begins to wobble as tears form in my eyes.<br /> I shouldn't be crying, but I know that he won't accept me. I'm ruined ... I'm marked, claimed to be someone elses ...<br /> "Why are you crying?" he inches closer and only stops when he's in front of me. I want to fall into his arms, to beg him not to reject me, to save me, but how can I when I'm claimed ...<br /> "You're going to reject me." my eyes squeeze shut as I suck my lips into my mouth. I flinch as his fingers brush over my cheek, wiping the tears away and sparks erupt in my face, sending a calm sensation down my back.<br /> "You might be marked, but I can fix that." his hand brushes my raven hair back over my shoulder, his thumb dragging over my mark and it slightly stings because he isn't the man who gave it to me ...<br /> "How?" I stare up at him with teary eyes, "We remove it." he shrugs, his eyes filled with lust.<br /> I step back, "How?"<br /> I never heard of a mark being removed ... and if someone did, they sure didn't survive to tell the tale.<br /> "It's a rare ritual, but you seem tough enough." he shrugs, making my blood run cold ... I'm not tough ... I was an omega before being a luna ...<br /> "I was an omega before being a luna." I blurt out, feeling like it's a fact he has to know.<br /> "But you are a luna, it changes your status. Didn't you feel yourself change?" his fingers drag down the side of my arm before he takes my hand and I feel like I might just jump him right here.<br /> "Let's get you out of Louis's shirt ... I know he's kind but you smelling like him pisses me off." his eyes widen, his jaw tense and I follow him without hesitation.<br /> Walking into his room is like walking into a fancy black interior design room, the walls are black, his bedding his black, his cupboards are black ... everything is black with beautiful gold detailing.<br /> "Wow." I breathe out as I absentmindedly march over to the double doors and just open them without asking. I step outside onto the patio, staring at the dark forest that surrounds us. We're far from the ground and I turn, looking at the dark exterior.<br /> Alpha Nathaniel joins me outside with a black t-shirt, not that I expected anything else, "Here, this will suit you much better." he grins, handing me the black shirt. "Where's your bathroom?" he frowns at my question, "Inside." he nods to behind him and I smile up at him, his emerald eyes glistening as he watches me pass him.<br /> I could feel his eyes on me as I disappear into the bathroom and it's even bigger than Louis' ...<br /> I find it extremely weird that the guy who brought me home is my mate's beta ... for Goddess sake ... I thought of pecking him!<br /> I take a few minutes to glance around the bathroom, staring at myself in the full length bathroom mirror across from me.<br /> My lip is almost fully healed at least ...<br /> Nick ... oh Goddess, what do I tell Nick? | Fics101 | 135 | https://facebook.com/61554382746013 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | 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! | What2628-eng | 79 | https://facebook.com/100093514056404 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

You won't talk to me, and every time I get close to you, you scurry away." He put his hands in his pockets.<br /> "Christian, there is nothing to talk about. I don't have time for your gibberish. Don't you have other girls to bother? What can you possibly talk to me about? !" I was losing my cool.<br /> "Natalie, I like you a lot." His eyes were getting dark. That look, there it was again. Desire? "CHRISTIAN!" I yelled. "Spit it out now! What did you come here fโ" Before I could finish my statement, he slammed his lips on me.<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> ~Christian's POV~<br /> Last night I heard my parents talking about Natalie coming home. I knew they were talking about Natalie Adams, the one girl who was untouchable or unapproachable. That vixen thought she was hiding in the shadows but I saw her.<br /> The thing is that she didn't realize how badly guys wanted her. Even if they came up to her it was funny because she would stare at them like they were stupid and her resting b-face said it all. She didn't even have to respond, and because of that they never approached her again. Talk about painted black. I think that was the color of her soul.<br /> The girl was beyond gorgeous. Every time she walked in a classroom or the cafeteria, her dark and mysterious demeanor attracted anyone. She would never know, because when you saw her with her earbuds on, it's as if Natalie was always in her own world.<br /> I wonder where she goes every summer because I never saw her around the pack when school was finished. I was thinking about asking my parents, but that will have to wait.<br /> I was always surrounded or being approached by girls, it never failed. I've slept around and I wasn't ashamed of it because I am an Alpha and an Alpha needs that release. I did have an ex-girlfriend that seemed to not know the meaning of "ex". Elle was always around when I needed an easy contact.<br /> She was Zeo Wilson's sister, our future beta, and was captain of the cheerleader squad. This girl would sometimes scare the other girls away and acted like she owned me. The girl is hot but has a nasty attitude and thinks highly of herself. No shame whatsoever.<br /> Natalie, however, she was the one girl I was profoundly attracted to. I wanted to feel and taste her. She had this strong aura around her and that confused me because I know her parents are warriors, but there was this ambience about her that made me want her more than any other she wolf. Just maybe, maybe she could be my fated mate.<br /> I went on Instagram and just like I assumed, she has her account in private, so you can only see her profile picture. It was a set of earbuds on top of a book in black and white. This girl was fascinating. I wanted to know her so badlyโฆall of her.<br /> I mean come on, who wouldn't want a piece of me. I'm 6 '6, muscular, I have the lightest gray eyes with dirty blonde hair, medium on the top and short sides. I'm every girl's wet dream. I've been told I look like the younger version of Christopher Egan. I'm better looking though.<br /> So I did what I have never done with any other girl. I sent her a friend request on Instagram. "Now the waiting game begins."<br /> ~Natalie POV~<br /> "Pfffsh, no!" He may be attractive, and I won't deny it. After all, I am a girl, and the guy is hot. Every girl may go crazy for him and desire him, but not me. He's a scumbag. His cocky disposition said it all.<br /> He sleeps with anything that has a hole. It's like a stray dog, leave it alone, you don't know where it's been. 'He probably has STDs or something, not to mention where his mouth has been,' Zoe said in disgust. Can't disagree. I know we may be exaggerating, but Christian's been around with almost every chic in that school.<br /> ~<br /> I was already running for 20 minutes, when I sensed another wolf running too. 'A warrior on security watch?' No. My wolf Jasper sensed it was a girl. As I got closer, I smirked. 'Well, well, lookie who it is.' I told Jaz, a shorter name for my wolf.<br /> I knew I would get to her first before she sensed us because Alpha's have stronger abilities than all other wolves.<br /> 'Lucky us. I am fond of this one, Chris.' Jaz said. 'Well let's go say hello, maybe we'll get lucky to allure her.' I said cockily.<br /> As we got closer, she turned around in defensive mode. 'That was odd.'<br /> "What, Christian! What are you trying to do? Give me a heart attack numb nuts!" She said, trying to catch her breath.<br /> I started to laugh, "Woah baby, no need to go in attack mode andโฆnumb nuts?" I said, raising an eyebrow looking offended with her word choice of insult. She was fiery, and her voice sounded hot.<br /> "Yeahโฆwellโฆyou should never sneak up on anyone running ALPHA!" She said angrily.<br /> Every time she spoke, my shaft twitched, and this time, I stepped closer. I smirked and licked my bottom lip. "Nat, you don't have to call me Alpha, just Christian or Chris for short." She noticed the action.<br /> She raised an eyebrow, "OkayโฆChristianโฆbut you will have to call me Natalie. Only my close friends and my parents call me Nat. What are you doing here? Were you stalking me? You know better than anyone never to sneak up on someone like that unless you're looking for a hip whooping," She spat. "You know how rogues don't follow rules and are ruthless killers!"<br /> "Wait, stalking! No, I was out for a run today. Why did you say it like thatโฆwaitโฆunless you saw the friend request." I said, dismissing the rogue statement.<br /> "Pleaseโฆyeah I saw it. Now that you bring it upโฆno." She simply said.<br /> "Noโฆ" I said, looking dumb founded.<br /> "We are not friends, and you have never spoken a word to me, Christian. What did you expect? It would be like you invading my personal space!"<br /> "Speaking of personal space, back off, you keep coming closer, dude." She looked pissed and was already fisting up her hands.<br /> "Shorty, why do you have to be so angry? It's just a friend request, and it's not just from anyone, but from your future Alpha," I chuckled. "Sweetheart, you make it difficult to get near you. In that case, let me get to know you better, Natalie. It's never too late." Now biting my lower lip.<br /> As I got closer, she kept backing up until she hit a tree. I leaned to her face, and I could smell the vanilla scent in her hair. She smelled good. I wanted to peck her badly. But that thought disappeared when I suddenly felt pain down south. 'Did she just hit my balls!' I went down on one knee holding my pair to soothe them.<br /> "Don't for one, think, I am attracted to you or treat me like those other girls you have luring around. I am nothing like them. Never invade my personal space. You may be my Alpha soon, but even the Alpha has to respect his pack members." She looked down on me and if I wasn't more attracted to her than ever.<br /> She was beautiful. 'Chris, mate or not, we want her!' Jaz said, and I couldn't agree more. ' She definitely is unique, Jaz, one of a kind. ' I said as I saw her curvy body making her way back home. My hands ached to touch her.<br /> 'The nerve of that fool' I told Zo. 'Did you see how he was licking his lips like if I was a piece of meat,' I said, all pissed off. 'He was sniffing my hair too! Creep!'<br /> 'You sure kicked him hard, girlie! If I could hi-five you, I would, so I'll do it mentally' she snickered. 'He is cute, though Natie. The guy has muscle. I wouldn't mind seeing his wolf Jasper.' Zoe said.<br /> Ughโฆmaybe so, but he is too arrogant and cocky. Zoe kinda caught me off guard with that comment, though. Traitor.<br /> I ran fast, heading home. So much for a quiet and peaceful run. I got home showered and changed. My parents weren't home. I noticed it was past 9, so I called Evie.<br /> "Good morning Natie! I woke up at 9 thinking you weren't kidding on calling me, but to my surprise, you didn't call on time. That's not you, Nat." She said, concerned.<br /> "Evie, you will never believe what happened to me. Come over so we can talk and head out!"<br /> _____________________<br /> "No freaking way! What are you for reals? ! Christian!" Evie's mouth was wide open.<br /> "The devil in the flesh Ev's!" I told her. I explained what happened this morning about receiving his friend request and what happened on my run, almost scaring the pee out of me by sneaking up on me. The way he caged me by a tree and how he was acting weird, like trying to make a move on me.<br /> "Nat, Christian has the hots for you." She said in a teasing voice. Christian is not a one woman man. "Ev's, no dude. Honestly, there is only one guy that I really would like to know andโฆugh," I said, now feeling a little sad.<br /> "Who! ? Ivan Carter? ! He is an attractive one, buddy."<br /> Ivan Carter belongs to another pack, the Midnight Pack. He is the son of Alpha Easton Carter. He also attends the academy, and every time I sneak a peek at him, my body reacts to him. I've touched myself just thinking about him.<br /> 'You ain't lying Nat, he's a total package.' Zoe said breathlessly.<br /> 'Okay make up your mind! ? I chucked.<br /> I have never gotten close to him or talked to him. Well it's my fault, actually. I don't like getting close to anyone, and I was scared that he didn't feel the same way. I can't get my hopes up anyway. He's meant to be an Alpha. We shouldn't really mess with Alphas either way. I've heard Alpha's can choose their mates as well, but a true fated mate can make a strong heir.<br /> He also has this chic that is always around him, Camila Ares. She is next in line for Gamma in his pack. She is always with or on him. She freaking irritates me.<br /> 'He doesn't look interested in her, but they are always together. Well him and his click.' Zoe putting her two cents in. 'Yup,' I sighed.<br /> "Evie, do you think this year will be different? I don't know if I'm ready to see who I'm mated to." I can't believe I sound so down. I mentally slapped myself, I got up and shook off all of those unwanted emotions and thoughts.<br /> I'm scared of these feelings I have for Ivan, only to be hurt if he's mated with someone else, which probably will happen. I have to do something fast and stop whatever this is before I get a broken heart.<br /> "Nat, you're gorgeous, and anyone mated to you will be lucky as heck because you are one of a kind! To answer your question, yes! This is our year!" She leaned over and gave me a big hug.<br /> "You're gorgeous too, buddy. Anyone would be lucky to have you as a mate. I'll kick your mate's hip if he thinks otherwise. I got your back, babe!"<br /> We got up and headed for my car. My parents had gotten me a used Red, fourth generation Camaro from 2004, on my 16th birthday. I love my car.<br /> I rammed my engine and headed to town.<br /> ~Ivan's POV~<br /> "Alpha Ivan! Hey, earth to Alpha!" Jerry hollered. "I'm right next to you idiot" I growled. "Put me on the spot, why don't you."<br /> Jerry Scott is my Delta, and he's already taking charge since his father stepped down. He is the head warrior and trains our pack members.<br /> Training is about to start, and we are about to spar each other.<br /> I will soon become Alpha of the Midnight Pack. At the age of 18, the current Alpha, my father, Easton Carter, will step down, and I will claim my place as Alpha.<br /> I got distracted with my thoughts. In a few weeks I'll be going back to school at the Blue Moon Academy. It's our last year, and I'm anxious, though. There's this girl that has been on my mind rent-free. I haven't made the effort to talk to her. It seems she's not the talkative kind and brushes anyone away.<br /> This year will be different. I will make the initiative to get closer to her. I'm all giddy just thinking about her. When I think about her face, her hair, and her body, I get turned on. Natalie Adams makes me feel things I've never felt for anyone.<br /> Striker, my wolf puts these images in my head of us sleeping. 'There is something about this girl Ivan, that when I see her, it makes me go crazy, she belongs to us. That aura around her when she is pissed is captivating?' Striker says calmly.<br /> It's not common when a person's wolf feels infatuated with a certain person who is not their mate. I've heard that Alpha's get signs if a girl belongs to them, but we haven't been too close to her to sense any of those signs. Honestly, I wouldn't even know the signs if they were there.<br /> Just watching her from afar has been enough for us both these past years. But it's time to change that because just looking at her is not sufficient anymore. We need and want more of her.<br /> However, he's right. We've seen people piss her off from a distance. She doesn't show emotion like other girls, but when she is angry, her aura is strong, and with that, she scares them off. She's fierce.<br /> Her demeanor says it all. I can't put my finger on it. Only wolves with high rankings have that type of aura that demands respect and obedience.<br /> But if I am correct, her parents are warriors from Christian's pack. Soโฆit can't be possible. Werewolves take their rankings seriously. Well, most of us. That's just the way it should be. Your destined mate and you should make a strong heir.<br /> It also irks me of the fact that Christian has had his eyes on her. It sucks that she is from his pack. You can see the gleam in his eyes when she walks into the lunchroom. My wolf wants to peek out and claw his eyes out each time. Arrogant nutsack.<br /> 'That's true. Should we do a bit of research regarding her family line?' Striker eagerly says. 'Yeah, maybe we should. Just maybe there is something more to her, and by luck, we could have a chance to be mated to her.' With that thought, I couldn't help but smile.<br /> You may ask, what is it about this girl that makes her so interesting? Well, she is definitely not like the girls at school or my pack. She is attractive, and that fierce, mysterious, emotionless demeanor she gives out makes her so alluring. Makes you curious about her personality and what she thinks. This girl attracts unwanted attention without even trying.<br /> All other girls yearn for that attention and throw themselves at guys, but not her. She also doesn't give any guy her undivided attention. It's like no one exists around her. She is in her own world.<br /> "Ay, what's that on your face! Are you smiling? Wipe that off Alpha, ain't nobody got time for that when you're about to get a beat down." Jerry says laughing.<br /> โฆand just like that, my face is emotionless.<br /> 'Alright, you got jokes!' I scowl. Turning around, I yelled, "BEGIN!"<br /> _________<br /> After our training, I headed to the pack house. As I open the front door and head to the stairs, I hear footsteps behind me, and someone jumps on my back. I knew it was Camila because of her scent. It's too flowery and strong for my liking. Striker growls.<br /> Everyone thinks that we are together, but that is far from the truth. We are friends with benefits. I don't feel anything for her, honestly. Striker gets pissed off. He dislikes her scent and voice.<br /> He only accepts it if we imagine Natalie beneath us.<br /> "Get off me, Camila! I'm your Alpha!" I yelled. She flinched and quickly got off. I already do Alpha affairs as I'm slowly transitioning into the labors of a true leader. I take my job seriously because leading is what I do best.<br /> "What's wrong baby, you've been distant lately? You don't want me anymore? You haven't invited me up to your room. It's been weeks now, Ivan." She said, with her whiny voice.<br /> Striker snapped, 'She better remember her place, Ivan! It's Alpha to this bimbo!'<br /> I palm my face. "ALPHA! ALPHA IVANโฆCAMILA! ! ! Don't forget my title and don't forget your place." I growled. I was being a scumbag.<br /> Don't get me wrong, Camila is hot. She is 5'8 taller than most girls, with chocolate brown hair. She has these pretty hazel orbs. However, she has an ugly attitude, especially with girls that get close to me. I can't stand that. I may have slept with her a couple of times, but I feel nothing for her. She is not Natalie.<br /> ~<br /> "What's up Ivan, you rang! ?" Pointing at his head trying to be funny.<br /> Jerry, Axel, and Camila are allowed to call me Ivan without using my title. Especially if we are alone or having a group conversation with just the four of us.<br /> However, Camila has been irritating me lately. I may have acted like a scumbag but I have to somehow hammer it in her head that we are not a thing.<br /> I said this before, but I take my position seriously. Being a leader is a serious matter and the decisions I make can have a life or death impact on my pack.<br /> From here forward, she will have to understand that I can not condone that type of disrespect especially if we are not together. I allowed it in my bedroom but now, things have changed. She also has to take her position seriously. If and when I find my Luna, she will be the one to be protecting her. That's the role of a Gamma.<br /> "Yup, I got a mission for you. But this is low key." I said glaring at him.<br /> "Okay, whatcha got? !" Jerry said now sounding excited.<br /> "You remember Natalie Adams from the academy? From Christian's Pack." I asked.<br /> "Yeahโฆwho doesn't! She's freaking hot!" He sheepishly replied.<br /> "Watch it! I want you to look into her family background," I said possessively.<br /> He covered his mouth and jokingly said, "Whaaaโฆ? !" I pinched the bridge of my nose and furrowed my brows. "Well can you or can you not! ?" sounding bothered now.<br /> He chuckled, "Of course I can, anything for you bro. Is there something I should be concerned about though or something I am looking for in specific?"<br /> "Have you ever noticed the aura she gives out at times? I sense power and strength like if she comes from a higher rank, but her parents are warriors," I calmly said. It may not be a big deal but I'm curious now.<br /> "I just think there's more than meets the eye with her," I wasn't lying. "She is so different. It's like Camila, she's a Gamma because of her dad, but Natalie seems to be stronger than a Gamma if you get my drift."<br /> "Ah, okay, okay, I get it. I'll get to it. You don't have to explainโฆit makes sense," he said. "This can not leave this room. This is between you and me," I said, trusting him.<br /> The less people know what I do, the better. It may be stupid to others but for me, this is imperative.<br /> "Got it!" Jerry said leaving the room. Jerry is my best tracker and hacker when it comes to technology.

My dad is really mad at you and Raven being mates." Twin sister Reagan said to my mate.<br /> "I don't mind rejecting her, but I would have been embarrassed to face my mate" Justin said.<br /> "My father has decided to appoint me as his future Alpha not my sister Raven. So, I will be your luna." Reagan said to Justin.<br /> ******** <br /> I silently run through the woods letting my wolf Emerald out tonight. She has been anxious all day, well really the last few days, and I could tell that she needed to come out for a run. <br /> Alpha Cole Walker is the Alpha of the Blood Walker pack. He is said to be one of the most dangerous Alphas in the United States. It is said that he would hurt anyone who dared to enter his pack uninvited. Due to this fact, most of our pack members studiously avoid this area altogether.<br /> My twin sister, Reagan, is the golden child of the pack. They all love her unconditionally. She is cherished and appreciated, no matter what she does. They all seem to ignore the fact that she is a horrible and mean she-wolf. I was born first, and with that should come the respect that after I find my mate, I will officially be the Luna here, and he will take over as the Alpha of the pack. Yet they all treat her as the next Luna. <br /> My sister and I are the only children that our parents had. The Goddess never blessed them with another child, even though they tried for years. My father, Alpha Graham Sullivan, is very strict with me. I am not allowed to leave my room other than to eat my meals and then return back to my room again. I am also not allowed to leave our pack for any reason. I have never even crossed the border of the Sliver Blade pack in my life. <br /> I was the Alpha's daughter, but I was not a valued member of this pack. Telling on me has always resulted in a bonus for whoever told on me to my father. I have had to learn how to overcome this on my own. It has made me very independent over the years, as well as a very good climber. I use the tree outside my window at the pack house, to climb up and down to get in and out of my room.<br /> From my vantage point, I can see who is coming now and rolled my eyes so hard I almost saw my brain. It was Reagan, and she was pulling the arm of a pretty large guy, as she headed toward the grassy bank near my tree. I realized right this moment that I have picked a terrible place to hide. I should have doubled back and then climbed in my window to my room and I would have been safe and sound in my room. Reagan is clearly out with one of her many men, as she was allowed to stay out and do whatever she wanted to. I mean how else could she beat me to finding her mate if she didn't flirt with all the unmated men in our pack? I rolled my eyes again and then froze when I looked at them again and got a good look at his face.<br /> That smell coming off of him was starting to drive me wild, he smelled like freshly baked cinnamon buns, and I was now pissed off. She had come here with the guy that I had a crush on, someone with whom she had never shown any interest in before. It was our Beta's son and the guy that I have had a crush on for the last year and a half.<br /> "No, don't stop them, Raven, she has already been dating with him for the last few months. This is not the first time, it has been well before he returned to the pack earlier this week. They are together now, dating, and they have both vowed to reject their actual mates to stay together to take over and run this pack. Please, just try to bear it, I will help you get through it. I am glad that you are in a secure location, this may make you pass out" Emerald linked me, and I felt physically sick.<br /> "How do you know this? Did she know that he is my mate? Why can't I approach him? Maybe he wants me, Emerald. Please let me stop this. He might not know that I am his mate, he may still want me, want US! I don't want to lose him, Emerald. He may not be aware his true mate is here. Can't he already smell our scent up here, like I smelled his scent? Are you sure that this is the only way? Please Emerald" I linked her back, and I feel the tears that are already sliding down my face. I have questions, and I need answers.<br /> I am frustrated. I don't want to give up on my true mate. He doesn't even know that I am here, and I do want him. I don't want to give him up, especially not to my sister Reagan. I don't know if I can survive this level of betrayal.<br /> "I can't wait for mom and dad to announce to the pack that we will be the Alpha and Luna tomorrow. This is something that I have really wanted for the last 8 years. I am so glad you decided that we could be chosen mates. " My sister says to my mate.<br /> "Besides, I am also glad that you are willing to lead the Silver Blade pack with me. I have a feeling that my freak of a sister who keeps staring at you is going to be crushed when she finds out that we are together. You dodged by deciding to accept me as your chosen mate. I know that she has a crush on you, so she would probably try to ask you out or something when she sees that you are back from break." She adds.<br /> "I think we will be so happy together. Raven will be so angry when she finds out that we planned this months ago. I cannot wait for her to find out. I even told mom to have her sit on the front row for the pack meeting tomorrow, so I can see her face when dad makes the announcement. I am going to put her next to you so it will hurt her more when dad calls you up on stage. When she realizes that her crush is going to be my mate, she is going to be so jealous of me. I am so going to get a picture of her face when she finds out, as I will want to remember that moment for a long time" I heard Reagan say to him, and I was so choked up I couldn't hold in the sob of pain that managed to escape.<br /> It wasn't loud, but with werewolf hearing, it was loud enough. I just stayed completely still and prayed that they hadn't heard me, but Justin started talking when my sob escaped, and they had no reaction, so I think I am safe.<br /> "I have always thought that you were a she-wolf, Reagan. I am so glad that you came up to my training with your offer, and for us to get extra special time together. If Raven were allowed to move around the pack, I don't think that she would be missing the fact that she is my mate. I scented her today when I got back to the pack and confirmed she is my mate. Per our agreement, I don't mind rejecting her, as I am clearly getting the better sister out of this deal. I would have been embarrassed to have to call that freak of nature my mate" Justin said, and with it, my heart was completely crushed.<br /> These two evil people deserved each other, and I will not waste another tear on his betrayal. He "chose" her, so he can keep her. She will never be faithful to him, and he will not ever be able to trust that their children are his either. She was just doing this to ensure that they become the next Alpha and Luna. She is what he wanted, so she can have him. I am thoroughly disgusted by both of them, and I will not allow them to make me sad one more day. I had already decided to get out of this horrible pack, and I will not miss the Silver Blade pack for a second. <br /> "She is your mate? Are you serious? Oh, this is the best" Reagan said as she laughed out in joy at hearing this information. "Justin, why haven't you mentioned this to me before?" Reagan continued.<br /> "I just found out about it earlier today as I have been gone for my training for the last 4 months. I caught my mate's scent and followed it so I could go ahead and reject them. I realized it was coming from the Alpha level, and when I went up and it led me straight to her door, it was really faint, but I sensed it. She doesn't even know it yet. I am sure that this information is not going to go over well with your parents. They may be upset when they find out. Are they still going to want us to move forward with our plan? Or are they going to want me and Raven to be mates because we are true mates?" Justin asked Reagan. I have to admit, I was interested in her reply as well, but I already suspected what the answer was going to be.<br /> "Oh no Justin, you will definitely be staying with me. I know dad is really going to get a kick out of you and Raven being mates. Mom might feel a little bad for her, but I think that this is great. I could not be happier that her true mate, will become my chosen mate.<br /> We will rule the Silver Blade pack together, and it will hurt her every day to see us together. It is my pack any way, it was never going to be hers. Maybe if we are lucky since she doesn't have a wolf, she won't be able to scent you, and your rejection might even hurt her when you do it. That would be the best-case scenario for all of us" Reagan said, and I could tell that Justin was a little shocked at how hateful she was. Reagan could tell that Justin was not liking this side of her so she quickly changed her attitude and started cooing at Justin, "She doesn't deserve you, baby, I love you and I want you. Hopefully, you will come to love me too.<br /> I was just worried, I don't want you falling in love with my sister after we have already mated." Reagan said to Justin, looking up at him adoringly through her long lashes. I have to admit, she really knows how to work people to do what she wants them to. Her ability to look innocent and pure is without measure, she could have been an actress.<br /> "Dad hates Raven. He will be very happy about this. He has never loved her since the day that she was born. Mom might be a little upset, but she will get over it. She and dad are chosen mates, she gave up her true mate to become the Luna of the Silver Blade pack. She did it herself, and if it is good enough for her, then it is good enough for me to do it as well. We make the perfect couple. We will have strong pups, and our pack will flourish" Reagan said, and I am stunned. I knew my dad was mean, but to hate me, why? What reason could he possibly have for hating me? My parents have told the whole pack numerous times through the years that they were true mates. They are very affectionate with each other in front of the pack. I didn't even know that they weren't true mates. What else don't I know about them?<br /> "We will do the same thing. You will have to reject Raven first thing in the morning, or after the pack meeting. But you will have to do it where no one else will hear you. Dad is going to tell the pack that we are true mates, so they will fully support us. Dad thinks that it would be a mistake to not have the pack's full support behind us when we go to take it over from my parents" Reagan said, and I am amazed at all the plans that they have kept away from me. Just another thing that shows how much difference there is between Reagan and me. I hear them touching again and wonder when they plan on leaving the area, don't they need to get back to the pack house?<br /> I narrow my eyes at Reagan, as she is ecstatic about getting to truly rub all of my misfortune in right now. Justin is getting the opportunity to reject me, so the situation that we are now in is all positive for them.<br /> "Raven, why are you out of the house? Are you supposed to be out here? Are you OK? That fall looked like it hurt pretty bad" I hear my sister ask me with an innocent look on her face like she cared about me. She was fully aware of how I am kept a prisoner here at the Silver Blade pack. I really have to get out of here. I needed to check and see how badly I am hurt because I don't know if I even have time to go pack a bag now. I may be having to leave here with nothing, but I am OK with that. I just need to get the heck out of here. I will figure out what I need to do after I am safely free of Silver Blade.<br /> "Are you ignoring me, Raven? Are you sure you want to do that to me? Fine then, I will just make sure that you get punished for leaving your room. You are not supposed to be out here anyway. I will just let dad know that you are out here, and he will take care of you" Reagan said with a smirk, and then she started mind linking. <br /> I and my wolf were running away from this pack. But they caught us immediately.<br /> "If you come back here now Raven, I won't punish you for leaving your room without permission" I heard my father tell me. <br /> "Nothing in the world could possess me to do that father," I told him, and I see his eyes glazing over as he goes to link someone. I could care less what they have to say to me, and I turned to walk away. <br /> "You will get punishment in the Blood Walker pack. You know how dangerous they are Raven, you have heard this fact for your whole life. They cannot be trusted, and you are now a rogue. We have told you, and the whole pack, exactly what happens to those who trespass on their land. The moment they scent you they will move in, and you will die today. Is that what you want? Do you want to die? I will get you more freedom in the pack. I will allow you to go to the library every day instead of once a week. How does that sound?" my mother's voice is calming and comforting. She has never before sounded as nice as this, and I know that dad put her up to try to lure me back into the Siler Blade pack. They must be desperate to do it, so I want to see how far they intended to go with it.<br /> "Let me ask you this mother. Was the plan to get Justin to take Reagan as a chosen mate her idea, or dad's?" I asked her. Mom is not a very good liar. I can see her expression as we are only about 20 feet apart from each other right now. <br /> "I don't know what you are talking about Raven, they are mates," my mom said to me, and now I smirk at her. Clearly, mom was keeping me out of the loop and doesn't know that I know for a fact that they aren't.<br /> "Thanks for always lying to me mom. That makes it so much easier on me. I will not be coming back to the Silver Blade pack. This is the last time, Goddess willing, that you all will probably see me and actually I am welcoming the death that is coming to me. It will be better than the life I have lived since Reagan tried to hurt me, and my own dad called me a liar when I told him what actually happened. Justin is not her mate mom, and I know this because he is MY mate. It is disgusting what all you three have done to me and allowed to be done to me my whole life. I never deserved to be treated the way I was. I can only hope that I can find my way and get to live a life that allows me to find someone who loves me and realizes that I am a good person. I don't think that is too much to ask for, do you mom? It seems like you and dad are willing to do anything to get me to come back over the fence, but we both know that if I did come back, I would either immediately be thrown in the cells. So, I will take my chances over here, where at least I have a chance" I told them and turned again to leave. I only made it a few steps before I was stopped again by my father's hateful words.<br /> "You are ungrateful daughter, How do you have the nerve to say that to me? I have clothed and fed you, provided you a room, and let you go to school. I did take care of you, and it is disgusting to see how you repay me. Lying about Justin being your mate. Trying to take your sister's mate away from her. I know that I can speak for your mother as well as myself when I say that we hope the Blood Walker pack disposes of you quickly. I only wish I could punish you myself" my dad roared out, and the hate was coming off of him in waves.<br /> "You disgust me father," I told him and the tone I used to draw out the word father let him know just how little I thought of him being my father. "I have never done anything to cause a problem or disruption in the pack, or in the family. I did what I was told this whole time. Even as knowing that you let the whole pack know that I was fair game if they wanted to hurt me, and they did dad, over and over again. You know what, it was my family that really took the award for the most torment. Your unwarranted hate, mom never supporting me, and my sister allowed to try to hurt me, and incite others up against me made me realize that life will be much better on this side of the border than it was on that side. Even if I only live an hour more, it would be better than the years I spent over there."<br /> I wiped off my tears and walked past them, suddenly, I hear something coming to meโฆ<br /> <br /> <br /> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><br /> Wanna listen more? download our App and check more!

"Congratulations! You are going to be a mom."<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Mitchel Dixon pinched her arm. His low voice came the next second. "Come back to earth. What are you thinking about?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel was her husband. They had been married secretly for two years. He was her superior at work, the president of the Dixon Group. <br /> <br /> Everything had happened so fast. She was newly employed in the company when they unexpectedly got married. <br /> <br /> At that time, Mitchel's grandfather fell seriously ill. It was then he proposed a fake marriage just to fulfill his grandfather's dying wish. <br /> <br /> They signed a prenup, agreeing to hide their marriage from the public. Their union could be terminated at any time. <br /> <br /> It was an unconventional thing to do. However, Raegan only considered herself lucky at that time. <br /> <br /> Never in a million years did she think she would ever get married to the man she had a crush on for eight years. She delightfully agreed. <br /> <br /> After their marriage, Mitchel was very busy. He spent most of his time working. <br /> <br /> Raegan wished she could spend more time with him at home. However, she was rest assured because there hadn't been any rumors or scandals about him with women in the past two years. <br /> <br /> Except for his mild indifference, Mitchel was a perfect husband. <br /> <br /> Raegan had mixed feelings as she stared at the medical report. <br /> <br /> In the end, she decided to tell Mitchel this news. <br /> <br /> She also wanted to tell him that she hadn't learned about him for the first time two years ago and that she had been crushing on him for many years before then. <br /> <br /> Just then, Mitchelโs phone rang. He went to the balcony and answered the phone. <br /> <br /> Raegan checked the time and found that it was already midnight. <br /> <br /> She felt a little uneasy. Who would call Mitchel at this hour? <br /> <br /> Mitchel spent a few minutes on the balcony. Thereafter, he returned and changed into formal attire. His handsome face which had a clear outline made him look dignified. <br /> <br /> He was something to see now. <br /> <br /> "Don't wait up for me. Good night," he said finally. <br /> <br /> What? He was on his way out? At this hour? <br /> <br /> Raegan's grip on the report tightened as she stared at him in disappointment. Unconsciously, she withdrew slightly. After thinking for a while, she blurted out, "It's already so late."<br /> <br /> Mitchel's fingers froze on his tie. With a faint smile, he pinched her earlobe and said, "Be good, okay? There's something I have to do. Don't wait up."<br /> <br /> With that, he headed for the door. <br /> <br /> "Mitchel."<br /> <br /> Raegan quickly ran and caught up with him. <br /> <br /> Mitchel turned around and looked at her seriously. <br /> <br /> "What's the matter?"<br /> <br /> There was a tinge of coldness to his voice. An icy cloud hung over them as they stared at each other. <br /> <br /> A little distressed, Raegan asked in a low voice, "I would like to visit my grandma tomorrow. Can you accompany me there?"<br /> <br /> Her grandmother always wanted to see her. As a result, Raegan wanted to take Mitchel there to assure her grandma they were happy. <br /> <br /> "Let's talk about it tomorrow, okay?" Without agreeing or declining, Mitchel left in a hurry. <br /> <br /> Several thoughts were threading Raegan's mind. She couldn't sleep a wink. <br /> <br /> After tossing and turning for a long time, she went to the kitchen and made herself a warm glass of milk. <br /> <br /> A few notifications from some online blogs came into her phone. <br /> <br /> However, she wasn't interested in them. She was about to swipe them away when one of them caught her attention. The familiar name made her click on it. <br /> <br /> The news read, "Famous designer, Lauren Murray was spotted at the airport with her mysterious boyfriend earlier today."<br /> <br /> Lauren was wearing a bucket hat. The man's figure was vague, but the outline of his body was enough to show that he was dashing. <br /> <br /> Raegan zoomed in on the picture. The next second, her heart dropped. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was the man in the picture! <br /> <br /> So, he canceled the afternoon meeting just to go pick up his ex-girlfriend from the airport? <br /> <br /> This realization settled like a boulder in Raegan's gut, rendering her flustered. <br /> <br /> Her hands trembled. Subconsciously, she dialed Mitchel's number. <br /> <br /> The dial tone brought her back to her senses. Just as she was about to hang up, the line connected, and a voice came from the other end. <br /> <br /> "Hello!"<br /> <br /> It was a particularly gentle woman's voice. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a second and then threw the phone away. <br /> <br /> She suddenly felt sick in her stomach. Covering her mouth, she ran into the bathroom and threw up in the toilet bowl. <br /> <br /> The next morning, Raegan went to work on time. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had tried to get her to stop working after they got married. Stubbornly, she insisted on making her own money. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't kick against her decision, but he asked her to work as his assistant, helping him with the daily chores. <br /> <br /> The head assistant, Matteo Jenkins was left to take care of the major affairs Mitchel had. <br /> <br /> Matteo was the only Dixon Group employee who knew about their marriage. <br /> <br /> Since inception, only male assistants were hired for the president's office. Reagan was the first and only female. Her employment broke the protocol. As a result, other workers couldn't help but wonder if she was involved with Mitchel. <br /> <br /> It took a while before they realized that Mitchel never gave Raegan special treatment. Strangely, this made them despise her even more. <br /> <br /> After all, no one would last long in anything while taking advantage of their looks.<br /> <br /> At this time, one of Raegan's colleagues handed her a document and ordered her to take it to Mitchel's office. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't return home last night. Raegan was so worried that she didn't sleep at all. <br /> <br /> All she kept thinking about was the woman who answered his phone when she called. What was her relationship with Mitchel?<br /> <br /> Raegan already knew the answer to that, but she was still in denial. <br /> <br /> It was difficult for her to come to terms with that fact. <br /> <br /> Raegan tried to remain calm now. She reasoned that no matter what happened, she deserved a result that would be rewarding for all the years she spent loving Mitchel. This couldn't be all for nothing, right? <br /> <br /> She pressed the elevator button calmly and went up to the president's office. Before she walked out of the elevator, she smoothed her hair to make sure she looked good. <br /> <br /> She had arrived at the office, only to see that the door was ajar. A man's voice came. She halted instantly. <br /> <br /> "Come on, man! Do you have any feelings for Raegan or not?"<br /> <br /> The voice belonged to Luis Stevens, a childhood friend of Mitchel's. <br /> <br /> "What do you mean exactly?" Mitchel asked in a cold voice. <br /> <br /> "You know exactly what I mean!" Luis clicked his tongue impatiently and added, "I think Raegan is a good girl. Isn't she your type?"<br /> <br /> "Do you want me to hand her over to you?" Mitchel asked carelessly. <br /> <br /> "You know what, forget it!"<br /> <br /> The scornful laughter of Luis sounded particularly harsh in Raegan's ears. <br /> <br /> They were talking about her as if she were an object. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and tightened her grip on the document. <br /> <br /> Soon, Luis's voice was heard again. <br /> <br /> "By the way, I saw the gossip news about Lauren's mysterious boyfriend this morning. That was you, right?"<br /> <br /> "Yes."<br /> <br /> "Well, well, well! That woman still has you wrapped around her little finger. You always want to please her."<br /> <br /> Luis sighed and continued to tease Mitchel. "As the old saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Tell me, did you two..."<br /> <br /> Their conversation was like a thunder exploding over Raegan's head. <br /> <br /> Her face turned pale and her body was as cold as ice. <br /> <br /> The woman was indeed Lauren! <br /> <br /> Absence made the heart grow fonder! <br /> <br /> Every word drove a knife into her heart. <br /> <br /> Several whispering voices filled her head at this time. She suddenly felt light-headed. Her vision became blurry. <br /> <br /> She held the wall and took a step backward. Suddenly, the door was opened from inside. <br /> <br /> "Raegan?"<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 2 One-sided Love<br /> <br /> Luis was the one who opened the door. It appeared he was on his way out. <br /> <br /> Raegan balled her hands, turned to him, and nodded. "Hey, Mr. Stevens!"<br /> <br /> Without waiting for him to respond to her greeting, she walked past him and entered the office with the document. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was seated behind a large luxurious desk. In an expensive suit and matching tie, he looked particularly handsome. <br /> <br /> Raegan noticed it wasn't the same suit he had on when he left home last night. How did he get changed? <br /> <br /> With her eyes lowered, she swallowed that question and said instead, "Mr. Dixon, this is from the Marketing Department. Please sign it."<br /> <br /> Mitchel was expressionless as he signed the document at a glance. <br /> <br /> Raegan walked out the door as soon as he handed the document back to her. Luis was still standing at the threshold. <br /> <br /> It wasn't until she went out of sight that Luis turned to Mitchel and said in a hushed tone, "Do you think she heard us?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel's appealing eyes were expressionless at the moment. Obviously, he wasn't paying attention to what Luis was saying. <br /> <br /> To Mitchel, Raegan had always been docile and never felt jealous of anyone. <br /> <br /> Her strict obedience was all Mitchel demanded from her in exchange for treating her well. <br /> <br /> In the elevator. <br /> <br /> Raegan held her breath just to hold back her tears. Unfortunately, it didn't work. <br /> <br /> She had thought two years would be enough for Mitchel to realize how much she loved him and reciprocate her love. <br /> <br /> Now, it turned out that was just a pipe dream. <br /> <br /> She realized she would always play second fiddle to Lauren, Mitchel's true love. <br /> <br /> Reagan wiped her tears when the elevator halted. Save for her pale face, she looked normal when the doors opened. <br /> <br /> She dragged herself to the break room, intending to make herself a cup of tea. <br /> <br /> Several employees were chatting inside. <br /> <br /> "Guys, have you heard? Lauren Murray is back."<br /> <br /> "And who is that?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, my! You don't know her? Lauren is the heiress of the Murray Group as well as a world-class designer. Most importantly, she's the only girlfriend Mr. Dixon has ever shown off in public. She's his first love!"<br /> <br /> "Why is her return such a big deal? Isn't it rumored that there is something between Mr. Dixon and Raegan?"<br /> <br /> "Raegan? She's nothing to Mr. Dixon. Mr. Dixon never admitted that he was dating her. And that is no surprise to me. After all, look at her. She's not even that beautiful. Yet, she behaves as if she's already Mrs. Dixon. What a fool!"<br /> <br /> Standing at the door, Raegan smiled with self-mockery as she listened to them. It turned out everyone else saw the truth except her. <br /> <br /> The love was one-sided. <br /> <br /> "Ha-ha, have you finally woken up from your wild dream, Raegan?"<br /> <br /> A voice of mockery suddenly came from behind. Raegan turned around to see Tessa Lloyd, Mitchel's cousin, who had always despised her. <br /> <br /> Tessa must have also heard the employees gossiping. <br /> <br /> The last thing Raegan wanted to do now was argue with Tessa in the company. She turned to leave, but Tessa blocked her way. <br /> <br /> With a cup of coffee in her hand, Tessa uttered sarcastically, "Lauren is back now. Do you think Mitchel will still give you any attention?"<br /> <br /> Raegan said nothing to that. <br /> <br /> Seconds later, Tessa continued the ridicule. "Maybe itโs time for you to seek out another man, you pathetic fool."<br /> <br /> Raegan clenched her fists and said coldly, "Ms. Lloyd, if you are interested in that kind of thing, feel free to pursue it yourself."<br /> <br /> "You..."<br /> <br /> Raegan's retort made Tessa's face change. <br /> <br /> The next second, Tessa raised her hand and emptied the cup of coffee on Raegan. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn't think for a second that Tessa would do something so crazy. She held up her arms just to block the liquid from her face. In no time, the coffee drenched her clothes. <br /> <br /> Raegan frowned. "What did you do that for? Are you out of your mind?"<br /> <br /> It was lunch break and many employees were free to watch the drama. Tessa was even more complacent when she saw growing onlookers. <br /> <br /> She put on a mean-girl look as she said, "What makes you so smug every day, huh? Do you seriously think that others don't know you are just an orphan? The nerve of..."<br /> <br /> Tessa was silenced by Raeganโs shove. <br /> <br /> Her jaw dropped to the floor. She had never expected that Raegan, who was so quiet and timid, would shove her. <br /> <br /> Tessa stuttered, "You... You pushed me? How dare you!"<br /> <br /> Raegan eyed her and replied, "Yes, I did! It seems you need to be taught simple politeness."<br /> <br /> Indeed, she lost her parents when she was a child. But that didn't mean she would allow someone to walk over her for it. <br /> <br /> Wrinkles appeared on Tessa's face as she frowned in anger. As Mitchel's cousin, she was used to being fawned over and respected. This was the first time she had been treated like this. <br /> <br /> Tessa charged at Raegan like a raging bull, poised to retaliate. <br /> <br /> This time, Raegan was fully prepared for what was coming. She grabbed Tessa's wrist so that the latter couldn't move another inch. <br /> <br /> Tessa was shorter than Raegan. As a result, she struggled like an octopus that had one of its tentacles stuck in a fishing trap. <br /> <br /> Tessa cursed angrily, "How dare you put your hands on me? Who do you think you are?"<br /> <br /> These harsh words attracted more people to the break room. <br /> <br /> "That's enough!"<br /> <br /> Out of the blue, a baritone came from behind. Mitchel had left his office and ran into this hullabaloo. <br /> <br /> The entire room fell silent. <br /> <br /> "Mitchel?" Tessa's blood ran cold at the sight of Mitchel. She had always been scared of him. Her mother also warned her against provoking him. <br /> <br /> But when she remembered that Raegan humiliated her, she put on a pitiful expression and sobbed. "Mitchel, she bullied me."<br /> <br /> The sunlight from outside fell on Mitchel's handsome face. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt so grieved all of a sudden, and lowered her head to look at her clothes which were soaked with coffee. <br /> <br /> Their gaze met in the air. With a deep frown, Mitchel looked at Raegan and said, "Raegan, have you forgotten the rules of the company?"<br /> <br /> His ruthlessness made Raegan's breathing cease. She couldn't believe her ears. <br /> <br /> No one dared to make a sound at this moment. <br /> <br /> Raegan just stood straight there with her slender figure. <br /> <br /> When she got employed here, Mitchel had told her that the Dixon Group wasn't a place for her to mess around and that he would not tolerate her making any mistakes. <br /> <br /> Raegan could understand why he took this stand. <br /> <br /> However, at this moment, she was desperate to know whether Mitchel had heard those hard words Tessa scolded her or he was just pretending not to have heard because he agreed to those words. <br /> <br /> Was she truly insignificant to him?<br /> <br /> Scared to death by Mitchel's rage, the crowd soon dispersed. A few employees were bold enough to peep from a distance, unwilling to miss the good show. <br /> <br /> Mitchel's cold eyes made Raegan shiver from head to toe. <br /> <br /> Raegan pinched her palm to suppress her emotions as she looked at Tessa. <br /> <br /> "I'm sorry, Ms. Lloyd. As an employee of the Dixon Group, it was wrong of me to have offended you."<br /> <br /> Eyeing Raegan, Tessa raised her chin complacently. "Humph! Don't think you'll be let off the hook just by making a simple apology. I don't buy..."<br /> <br /> "The offence has nothing to do with the company. Personally, I refuse to apologize to you. Now, if you'd excuse me," Raegan chimed in. <br /> <br /> She then walked past Mitchel without sparing him another look. <br /> <br /> "You..."<br /> <br /> Tessa's face turned blue after hearing what Raegan said. <br /> <br /> Never in her years of being alive had she been so humiliated. She was always the bully, not the victim! <br /> <br /> The humiliation was so much that scolding Raegan wouldn't appease her anger. <br /> <br /> Pointing in Raegan's direction, Tessa shouted, "Mitchel, did you hear what that woman just said? She humiliated me, yet she's still so arrogant. Call her back. I have to teach her some manners!"<br /> <br /> Mitchel, staring at Raegan's thin back, had an ambiguous expression at this moment. <br /> <br /> "Enough!" he said coldly, raising his hand. <br /> <br /> As someone who lived and breathed drama and cruelty, Tessa didn't think Mitchel was partial to Raegan just now. She assumed that Mitchel didn't care about Raegan at all. <br /> <br /> Tessa gritted her teeth and said viciously, "Next time, I'll get someone to teach her a lesson."<br /> <br /> "Tessa!" Mitchel's tone and squint made it a reproof. <br /> <br /> Tessa trembled at once. <br /> <br /> With a somber face, Mitchel said, "I'll only say it once. Forget about what happened here today. Leave Raegan alone."<br /> <br /> The aura he exuded made her tongue go dry. All the vicious ideas she had in store against Raegan disappeared in an instant. <br /> <br /> She stammered, "Ok... Okay, got it..."<br /> <br /> Mitchel cast a cold glance at her and spoke to Matteo. "Irrelevant people wouldn't be allowed in here from today onwards."<br /> <br /> Without catching the drift, Tessa flattered Mitchel. "Nice call. This is a top company. Not everyone gains access in here."<br /> <br /> Matteo nodded to Mitchel and then walked over to Tessa. He gestured to the exit. "Ms. Lloyd, this way, please."<br /> <br /> It wasn't until this moment that Tessa realized that she was the irrelevant person Mitchel just mentioned. She tried to speak to him, but Matteo blocked her way. The security guards then escorted her out. <br /> <br /> They showed her no mercy. Her struggle was useless. <br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Raegan got changed when she returned to her office. <br /> <br /> Her heart was filled with sadness as she thought of how Mitchel looked at her minutes ago. <br /> <br /> Closing hour soon rolled by. <br /> <br /> Raegan took her bag and headed for the exit. However, Matteo stopped her. <br /> <br /> He said, "Mr. Dixon has something urgent to deal with, so he asked me to drive you home."<br /> <br /> Raegan declined the ride without thinking twice. <br /> <br /> She was blind before, but now she could see through the situation. <br /> <br /> In Mitchel's eyes, she was just a nobody. <br /> <br /> How could Mitchel agree to accompany her to visit her grandmother when he didn't even care about her? <br /> <br /> Upon arriving at the hospital, Raegan saw that the nurse was about to feed her grandmother dinner. Raegan took the job over and did it by herself. <br /> <br /> All her life, her grandmother had been living in the countryside, enjoying a quiet life. Everything changed last month when her routine medical checkup showed that she was in need of medical care. Raegan insisted on bringing her to the city for better treatment. <br /> <br /> Her grandmother wasn't aware of her marriage to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> Raegan had planned to surprise her today. But as it turned out, that was no longer necessary. <br /> <br /> Raegan waited for her grandmother to fall asleep before she left. She walked out of the hospital and waited for a taxi. <br /> <br /> In the distance, a black luxury car pulled into the entrance of the hospital. <br /> <br /> Raegan's eyes lit up when she saw it. She recognized that car as Mitchel's. <br /> <br /> Did he come to pick her up? <br /> <br /> At this moment, she forgot all the pain she had been feeling. <br /> <br /> Were her thoughts about him all wrong? Did he care for her, contrary to the gossip? <br /> <br /> The door of the driver's side opened and Mitchel got out. <br /> <br /> Raegan started walking toward him with her heart brimming with joy. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, she stopped dead in her tracks. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had just walked over to the other side and carried a woman out of the car. <br /> <br /> Worry and compassion were written all over his handsome face. <br /> <br /> This wiped the smile on Raegan's face. Her heart sank. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 3 Let's Divorce<br /> <br /> Mitchel's tall and straight figure got closer and closer to Raegan. And then, without saying a word, he strode past Raegan. <br /> <br /> It was hard to tell if Mitchel saw Raegan or just ignored her. <br /> <br /> Regardless, Raegan noticed that the woman in his arms was the same one who had been photographed with him yesterday. <br /> <br /> She was Lauren. <br /> <br /> Raegan's shoes felt like they were made of lead as she walked away. <br /> <br /> She lost all awareness of her surroundings. She got into a taxi absentmindedly. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, the driver uttered, "Ma'am, where to?"<br /> <br /> Raegan was stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> She didn't want to go back to Serenity Villas. It was only a matter of time before that place stopped being her home. <br /> <br /> After a while, she replied, "Please take me to Crystal Bay."<br /> <br /> She had purchased an apartment at Crystal Bay after getting married to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> At the time, she had hopes of bringing her grandmother to the city, so she bought the apartment on mortgage. It wasn't that big, but it had more than enough space for two people. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't understand why she wanted to buy an apartment. He offered to give her a bigger one, but she declined. <br /> <br /> Looking back now, she realized that buying that apartment was the only wise decision she had ever made in the last two years. <br /> <br /> When she arrived at the apartment complex, Raegan sat in the park alone, trying to cool herself down. <br /> <br /> The memories of the past two years were bittersweet. <br /> <br /> Two years had passed in the blink of an eye even though it was more than seven hundred days and nights. <br /> <br /> Love could move mountains, they said. <br /> <br /> Yet, her love didn't move that stone of a man. She finally realized what a fool she had been. She had been making herself a laughingstock in front of everyone. <br /> <br /> It was already late in the night before Raegan finally decided to go into her apartment. <br /> <br /> As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Mitchel standing in front of the door. <br /> <br /> His sleeves were rolled up casually, and the top buttons of his shirt were undone, which revealed his long neck and part of his collarbone. He was leaning on the wall by the door, his handsome face straight. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a moment. <br /> <br /> Why was he here? Didn't she see him at the hospital with Lauren? What brought him here? <br /> <br /> Their eyes met. With his coat draped over his arm and one of his hands in his pocket, Mitchel squinted at her. <br /> <br /> "Why didn't you answer the phone?" he asked, sounding a little grumpy like someone who hadn't slept in a long time. <br /> <br /> Raegan took out her phone and saw she had accidentally put it on DND. <br /> <br /> There were five missed calls from Mitchel. <br /> <br /> This marked the first time in their two-year marriage. <br /> <br /> Mitchel blew up her phone because he couldn't find her? Surprising! <br /> <br /> Before today, she would have been overjoyed by this. People would've thought she won the lottery. <br /> <br /> But now, she just threw her phone back into her bag, folded her arms, and said in a hoarse voice, "I didn't hear it ring."<br /> <br /> Mitchel raised his hand to check the time on the watch, and said impatiently, "I've been looking for you for two hours."<br /> <br /> After arranging everything for Lauren, he returned home to find an empty house. He looked for Raegan everywhere. When he couldn't find her, he asked Matteo to check the surveillance footage of all the roads that led away from the company. <br /> <br /> He later found out that Raegan went to Crystal Bay without telling him. <br /> <br /> "Next time, tell me when you are coming here, okay? Let's go home now." After that, Mitchel walked toward the elevator without sparing her another glance. <br /> <br /> He meant to go back to Serenity Villas. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn't move an inch. She just stared at his broad back and pondered reluctantly. <br /> <br /> Would they have a future? <br /> <br /> Mitchell turned around, only to see that Raegan hadn't taken a single step. He frowned and asked, "Can't you walk? Do you want me to carry you instead?"<br /> <br /> The light in the corridor illuminated his face, making his side profile almost impeccable. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and said, "Let's divorce."<br /> <br /> "What do you mean?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel's voice was cold, and his handsome face changed immediately. <br /> <br /> "I want to move into my own place. After all, we will be strangers soon."<br /> <br /> Raegan forced a smile, but her heart was aching as if someone was tearing it apart bit by bit. <br /> <br /> "We will be strangers?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel smiled coldly. "Raegan, what do you think our relationship is now?"<br /> <br /> His questioning left Raegan stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had made it very clear to her from the very beginning. This facade of their marriage had happened by mutual agreement. There was no love. In the eyes of others, they were nothing more than just a superior and a subordinate. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was quite the catch in Ardlens. Many young ladies longed for his love and were even willing to throw themselves at him. <br /> <br /> His question just now reminded her of that fact. Was he afraid that she wouldn't let him go that easily? If that was the case, he couldn't be more wrong... <br /> <br /> After biting her lower lip to conceal her bitterness, Raegan said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Dixon. I was giving it too much thought. Anyway, please leave me alone from now on. You don't have to come here again."<br /> <br /> After saying that, Raegan couldn't help but burst into tears. <br /> <br /> How could she not be sad when she was cutting ties with the man she had loved for a decade? It was such a long time. <br /> <br /> Regardless of how difficult it was, she knew it was time to let go. <br /> <br /> It was high time she stopped being a fool. <br /> <br /> Strangely, the light in the corridor began flickering. <br /> <br /> The deathly stare Mitchel was giving Raegan right now made the atmosphere seem like the moment before an attack in a horror movie. <br /> <br /> Although he understood that Raegan sometimes could throw a tantrum, he felt that she had just crossed the line now. <br /> <br /> His eyes shone like blazing torches at this moment. But when he saw the tears in her eyes, the rage inside him extinguished in an instant. He said in a low voice, "If this is about what happened between you and Tessa, I..."<br /> <br /> "No, this isn't about her. Mr. Dixon, please leave now."<br /> <br /> A lot of things happened between them. And the incident with Tessa didn't come close to any. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt exhausted. She passed by Mitchel and was about to open the door. <br /> <br /> Yet, Mitchel was displeased with her stubbornness. <br /> <br /> He loosened his tie irritably. He then took a step forward and grabbed her wrist. <br /> <br /> "Stop this, will you?"<br /> <br /> A second later, he put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his arms. <br /> <br /> He instantly realized that she was burning up like someone who had been set on fire. <br /> <br /> "You have a fever?"<br /> <br /> Raegan felt dizzy. She rested her head on his chest weakly. <br /> <br /> This made the whole situation complicated. <br /> <br /> Reagan was slow to catch that. When she finally realized that her body was too close to his, she put her hands against his chest and tried to pull back. <br /> <br /> Before she could escape, Mitchel pulled her back and held her by the waist. With a cold face, he said in a low voice, "Where do you think you are going?"<br /> <br /> The light flickered again. Out of the blue, Mitchel lifted her up. <br /> <br /> He then headed for the elevator. <br /> <br /> In a daze, Raegan asked softly, "What are you doing?"<br /> <br /> "What does it look like I am doing?" Mitchel remarked. "Taking you to the hospital, of course."<br /> <br /> "No way!" Raegan cried out in surprise and seemed to regain more strength. <br /> <br /> Mitchel might find out about her condition if they went to the hospital.<br /> <br /> Raegan struggled to get out of Mitchel's arms. However, his tight grip made her efforts fruitless. <br /> <br /> "Don't be so stubborn. You are sick, so you must see the doctor," Mitchel said firmly. <br /> <br /> He walked to the elevator with her in his arms. At this moment, Raegan's heart was thumping so hard that it could jump out of her chest. She flailed in protest. <br /> <br /> "Put me down! I don't want to go to the hospital!"<br /> &4& | Hello reading | 36313 | https://facebook.com/61552535188096 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714719600 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

But the joy of going barefoot was crushed by one big problem...<br /> <br /> Everyone staring at my embarrassing yellow toenails!<br /> <br /> At first, I blamed it on years of wearing closed-toe shoes for work. But it turned out to be more than just some weird discoloration โ soon enough, my feet started smelling rank too.<br /> <br /> I was so embarrassed by people's reactions that I kept my socks on all the time. And as time went on, my feet just got worse.<br /> <br /> I tried everything โ soaking my feet in apple cider vinegar, slathering them in tea tree oil, even using expensive creams and sleeping with bags on my feet.<br /> <br /> But that dang foot fungus wouldn't quit, it just kept getting worse.<br /> <br /> All I wanted was to feel the sand between my toes, but I was too ashamed to show my feet. I even avoided the beach altogether.<br /> <br /> But when my granddaughter got the same problem, I knew I had to find a solution...<br /> <br /> I finally spilled the beans to a friend, and she knew exactly what I needed. She shared this eye-opening video below.<br /> <br /> It revealed the surprising cause of my foot fungus, thanks to some awesome researchers who knew their stuff.<br /> <br /> And guess what? The video taught me a simple astronaut hack that totally changed how my feet looked.<br /> <br /> And the best part? It only takes a minute out of my day, and it's all-natural too.<br /> <br /> Just two weeks later, I was walking barefoot on the beach like a champ.<br /> <br /> Finally living the dream!<br /> <br /> And the best part?

The young billionaire whispered with his hand grabbing Isabella's, who was in a wedding gown.<br /> "Do you need me to help you seek revenge? Whether it's the scumbag who betrayed you or your stepmother, they're nothing in front of me."<br /> Isabella looked at the handsome man in front of her and nodded.<br /> "Marry me, and we'll let them regret it for the rest of their lives."<br /> <br /> Chapter 1 Betrayal<br /> Up on the massive screen, a couple in their birthday suits were all tangled up, getting hot and heavy, and the surround sound was blasting every moan and breath.<br /> <br /> The lady had curves for days and her skin was mad smooth. Then there came a close-up of their faces.<br /> <br /> Isabella Sorenson was struck dumb, staring up at the screen, and she felt like she'd just been punched in the gut. The naked couple were none other than her main squeeze Zachary Winslow and her bestie Scarlett Pearson.<br /> <br /> And no joke, they were both right there next to her because today was supposed to be Isabella and Zachary's engagement party.<br /> <br /> Just a second before, that screen was showing cute throwbacks of Zachary and Isabella growing up together, while some dude was talking all mushy about it. It went from little Isabella at three to Zachary at seven, and then instead of more childhood pictures, the screen switched to the hookup video.<br /> <br /> "Ah!" Scarlett let out a scream and threw her arms around Zachary.<br /> <br /> Now, if anybody was still clueless about who were up on that screen, everything was out in the open. While Isabella was stuck on the spot, Zachary was hugging Scarlett.<br /> <br /> The whole place exploded with whispers and gasps.<br /> <br /> "Yo, ain't that Isabella's ride-or-die?" one guest whispered.<br /> <br /> "Seriously, Ms. Sorenson got played?" chimed in another.<br /> <br /> "Yo, check out that bod!" somebody else hollered.<br /> <br /> "What's going on?" Isabella's father, Nathan Ingram, was freaking out, trying to cover up the screen, but this screen was enormous. Though he was like pushing six feet, he looked straight-up silly trying to block it.<br /> <br /> Terence Winslow, Zachary's father, was beet red but he bolted toward the control room to turn off the screen.<br /> <br /> Scarlett, her eyes leaking like a faucet, hit Isabella with the puppy dog eyes. "Isabella, didn't you pinky swear to let this go? I promised I'd ditch Zachary and leave town the second you're engaged. Why you gotta blast this now? Are you trying to ruin me?"<br /> <br /> When Scarlett clung to Zachary, he looked kinda red-faced but went wide-eyed the second he heard what Scarlett said. Holding her firmly, he asked, "What are you saying, Scarlett? Isabella forced you to leave?"<br /> <br /> It was as if a bomb had detonated within Isabella's mind, leaving her stunned and disoriented. She stared blankly at Zachary, her childhood sweetheart. Ever since she could remember, Isabella had made up her mind to spend the rest of her life with Zachary.<br /> <br /> 'When did he and Scarlett become a thing? And when did I ever agree not to pursue this matter? What's going on here? What are they talking about?' Isabelle wondered.<br /> <br /> "How could you be so vicious, setting up your own fiancรฉ and best friend?" Zachary's sister, Megan Winslow, shoved Isabella on the shoulder.<br /> <br /> Isabella, in a daze, didn't see that coming and staggered backward until she ended up right beside Nathan.<br /> <br /> Nathan was filled with fury. Raising his hand, he slapped her in the face. "Look at what you've done! You've brought disgrace upon both our families!"<br /> <br /> Before Isabella could even regain her balance, she was knocked to the ground by the slap. Zachary grew anxious and instinctively wanted to help her up, but Scarlett tightened her grip on his arm.<br /> <br /> Isabella turned and caught a glance of the smugness in Scarlett's eyes.<br /> <br /> "How can you hit your child? Come on, get up, Isabella." A voice was heard as a pair of hands helped Isabella to her feet.<br /> <br /> Terence sighed, "Isabella, don't blame your father. What you did was really out of line."<br /> <br /> Lorelai Winslow, Zachary's mother, pointed at Scarlett and said, "Where did you come from? You must have seduced my son. Get out of here! I'll never let you become part of our family!"<br /> <br /> Scarlett hid behind Zachary like a scared puppy.<br /> <br /> Zachary positioned himself protectively in front of Scarlett, his voice firm as he addressed his mother. "Mom, don't blame Scarlett. Isabella, she's your best friend. You can't push her to the brink like this!"<br /> <br /> With Terence's support, Isabella finally got back to her feet. A solitary tear traced its path down her cheek. As she gazed up at Zachary, the man she had loved for most of her life, she realized he had become a stranger in the blink of an eye.<br /> <br /> 'Scarlett's supposed to be my best friend. He knows that. They play me and now it's my bad?' she thought.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, I can't even with you. Zach, how can you tie the knot with her? After you're hitched, who knows what stories she'll spin? Can't trust her. Not one bit!" Megan was throwing shade at Isabella before turning to Zachary, all concerned.<br /> <br /> Megan had been in the same class as Isabella back in high school, but they never really hit it off. Megan always teamed up with Yvonne Ingram to give Isabella a hard time. Plus, Megan detested the idea of Isabella becoming part of her family.<br /> <br /> "Zip it! Isabella is the eldest daughter of the esteemed Sorenson family. And who's that chick? Does she possess the same standing as Isabella? How could the Winslow family be cool with letting just anyone in?" Lorelai snapped off, not realizing she was pretty loud.<br /> <br /> Lorelai wasn't Isabella's number one fan, but she was all about that social ladder. Having Isabella marry in was like a major level-up for Zachary. No other high-class family had a daughter that could touch Isabella's status. Plus, Isabella was the kind of person one could sway pretty easy.<br /> <br /> So yeah, Lorelai had to make it crystal clearโthey couldn't let Isabella slip away.<br /> <br /> At first, Isabella kind of felt thankful to her future mother-in-law for stepping up, but then it hit her why she really did it.<br /> <br /> "Yes! Isabella, you're the eldest daughter of the Sorenson family. You should consider the reputations of the Sorenson family, the Ingram family, and the Winslow family before doing this!" Yvonne chimed in, looking all stressed.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, you've just crushed your dad. His heart's in pieces," Winona said, sounding all sweet but sad.<br /> <br /> Winona and Yvonne dropping those lines just made Nathan and Terence pull grumpier faces. 'She's gotta grow up. Can't be airing our dirty laundry like this!' they thought.<br /> <br /> Chapter 2 Proposal<br /> Isabella looked at the people around her.<br /> <br /> Her father, Nathan, was boiling mad.<br /> <br /> Her stepmother, Winona, and her half-sister, Yvonne, were getting a kick out of the drama.<br /> <br /> Her future father-in-law Terence was just shaking his head, and future mother-in-law Lorelai was cringing.<br /> <br /> Her would-be sister-in-law Megan was glaring holes through her.<br /> <br /> Her fiancรฉ, Zachary, didn't know what to do. In his arms was the pitiful woman, Scarlett, who was once her best friend.<br /> <br /> These folks were Isabella's whole world. And just like that, the world flipped, leaving Isabella as the one everyone was pointing fingers at.<br /> <br /> Isabella brushed away the tears and said lightly, "I hereby announce that Zachary Winslow and Isabella Sorenson's marriage contract has been canceled. We have nothing to do with each other from now on. I wish you happiness!" Then she bounced off the stage.<br /> <br /> Her dad Nathan jumped in, "Hold up, you think it's just up to you? You and Zachary were a done deal before you were even a twinkle. Don't even try to ditch this without my say-so!" Nathan had always been tough on Isabella, mostly because having Isabella around was a constant reminder that he was kind of a live-in son-in-law and his kids had to take their mom's last name. Big-time embarrassment for a guy who made it big.<br /> <br /> "And Isabella, cool it, will ya? Zachary messed up, and we'll make him say sorry. This marriage thing wasn't just your call, it's our families' deal. Don't go and have a meltdown. I got your back," Terence tried to smooth things over.<br /> <br /> Then he whirled around and snapped at Zachary, "Zachary! Drop that girl already!"<br /> <br /> Zachary looked like he didn't know what hit him.<br /> <br /> Scarlett, all tears and drama, shoved Zachary away. "Go after Isabella, Zachary. My bad, it's all on me. I'm no match for Isabella. I'm sorry, Isabella. Forgive me, okay? Don't go."<br /> <br /> Zachary just stood there, silent as a ghost.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, hold it! Are you deaf?" Nathan was beside himself with rage. He thought, 'She's always done what I said, like a perfect little robot. Why's she ignoring orders today?'<br /> <br /> Isabella stopped cold, her hands balled into fists so tight they hurt. She spun around to face Nathan.<br /> <br /> Now Nathan got real. "Come on, it's nothing. Why you making a big deal? Zachary and his folks are cool now. What more do you need? Who else would deal with your drama? You gotta see where your bread's buttered!"<br /> <br /> Isabella just felt this chill and said real slow, "He deserves better than me. I'll find someone else, no biggie."<br /> <br /> Nathan lost it, "Who else would even look at you?"<br /> <br /> But Isabella, she didn't even flinch. Shoulders back, head high, she walked right out the door.<br /> <br /> The crowd was eating up the drama like it was prime-time TV.<br /> <br /> Zachary and Isabella's engagement was like the hot gossip among the rich folks. Their families were tight, and with Isabella and Zachary set to tie the knot, the business was booming.<br /> <br /> The engagement party was just for show. They were heading for the altar anyway. But then, the plot thickened like in a soap opera.<br /> <br /> Zachary did Isabella dirty with her own bestie. Feeling burned, Isabella put them on blast right there in front of everyone.<br /> <br /> Instead of feeling sorry for her, people were ragging on Isabella. She was pretty shaken up when she realized that nobody seemed to care about her side of the story. But could she really get mad when her own dad dissed her too?<br /> <br /> Isabella stepped down from the stage and nearly took a spill in her killer heels. Just in time, one guy reached out and saved her from a faceplant.<br /> <br /> "Thanks," Isabella mumbled, looking down.<br /> <br /> A chill voice came from up top, "Watch your step."<br /> <br /> Isabella regained her balance, raised her head, and met a pair of deep, calm eyes. She was momentarily stunned, charmed by the handsome face before her. This guy was something elseโstrong brows, dark blue eyes, the works. He was all smiles and chill vibes.<br /> <br /> She took a breath and laid it all out there, completely honest. "Hi! Are you single?"<br /> <br /> He was stunned but nodded.<br /> <br /> Ignoring the crowd's shocked gasps, Isabella was like, "I'm Isabella Sorenson, 22, still in college at University of Moulmore. I have 40% shares in Sorenson Multimedia and will inherit all the inheritance left by my granddad and mom when I turn 25. But for now, I'm penniless. I need to marry someone. You in?"<br /> <br /> Isabella locked eyes with the guy. She was ticked off for sure, but she didn't give a flip. Her life's been no cakewalk. She fell hard for Zachary, and he didn't even say 'my bad' for stabbing her in the back.<br /> <br /> Her mom's parting advice to Isabella was to play it cool, to roll with the punches. For years, she put up with the drama and what'd she get? Zilch, just a slap in the face and zero backup.<br /> <br /> Isabella thought, 'I'd rather throw the baby out with the bathwater at this point. They're all drooling over my wealth and gearing up to rip me off, right? Fine! I'll marry someone random and not give them a dime!'<br /> <br /> Then, like clockwork, someone in the peanut gallery was like, "Holy cow! Did Isabella just lose it? What's she yapping about now? Poor Zachary."<br /> <br /> "Totally shameless! Just grabs a guy and pops the question? And after Zachary's folks bent over backwards to get her to forgive him!" added another voice.<br /> <br /> Chapter 3 It Is Him<br /> Isabella stood next to the stage, and everybody caught every word she said. Nathan, Terence, and the crowd beelined to her.<br /> <br /> "Isabella Sorenson! Have you flipped your lid?" Nathan's face was all red.<br /> <br /> "No kidding! What's that even mean?" Winona added, looking all shook up.<br /> <br /> "Are you crazy? You're practically giving away your assets by doing this!" Lorelai was devastated.<br /> <br /> Isabella completely ignored the people behind her and focused on the man before her. "Sir, do you hear me? Marry me, and you will have a fortune in three years. It's a bargain."<br /> <br /> The man's clear gaze met hers, and he chuckled. "You know, guys usually do the proposing." His voice was low and sexy.<br /> <br /> Isabella was speechless, the crowd zipped it for a hot second, then split their sides laughing. They figured he ditched her.<br /> <br /> Nathan almost couldn't resist the urge to storm forward and kick Isabella. "Isabella! Get back here right now!"<br /> <br /> The man's low voice sounded right after Nathan finished his sentence. "I'll marry you."<br /> <br /> Complete silence ensued.<br /> <br /> "My name is Clayton Murray. I'm 28 years old and single. I work at Rayson International. Ms. Isabella Sorenson, will you marry me?" Clayton fixed his gaze upon Isabella.<br /> <br /> Tears fell from Isabella's big eyes. "Thank you! Yes, I will!"<br /> <br /> Inside, she's throwing high fives to luck. Finally, she could breathe. Didn't matter who he was as long as she was pulling herself out of the quicksand.<br /> <br /> And just like that, the crowd went wild.<br /> <br /> "Say what? That's Clayton Murray from Rayson International?" someone gasped.<br /> <br /> "Whoa, the legendary second son of the Murray family?" someone else hollered.<br /> <br /> "No way! I heard Clayton doesn't mix with ladies. Could this be a fake?" somebody wondered.<br /> <br /> "Bummer. Mr. Murray's like a ghostโnever seen in public or snapping selfies. How can we even know if it's really him?" another person pitched in.<br /> <br /> "He looks legit. I mean, who would have the guts to fake being Mr. Murray? Plus, dude's got charmโI hear the real Clayton's a looker," came a comment from the crowd.<br /> <br /> Isabella dried her eyes and spun around to face the stage crowd. "Just to be clearโZachary and I are done. We're out of each other's lives. Next up, I'm marryingโ"<br /> <br /> She had to check with Clayton because she blanked on his name.<br /> <br /> "Clayton." He gave her a small grin.<br /> <br /> "Yeah, Clayton!" Isabella said, staring them down without a wince.<br /> <br /> Nathan boomed, "Hold up; you're the Clayton Murray?"<br /> <br /> Clayton just gave a cool nod. "That's me."<br /> <br /> Terence's expression darkened. He glared at Zachary and Scarlett, thinking, 'It's all this little punk's fault!'<br /> <br /> Megan and Yvonne were stunned. 'How's he so drop-dead gorgeous?' they wondered incredulously.<br /> <br /> Clayton swept his glance across the stage. "You all must be Isabella's family. Sorry for taking the liberty to announce our marriage in this way today. I'll pay you a visit someday."<br /> <br /> After saying that, he turned around and linked arms with Isabella, his tone gentle as he spoke to her. "Let's go. What's going on here is none of our business."<br /> <br /> "Mr. Murray, don't be fooled by Isabella! Over the years, she has been a nuisance, trying all means to curry favor with Zach just to get married to him. A woman even Zach has abandoned doesn't deserve you!" Megan shouted eagerly. ''I won't let Isabella have such an excellent man all to herself! I'm better than her. Mr. Murray should marry me. Isabella is nothing compared to me!' she thought.<br /> <br /> "Yes, Mr. Murray. Please wait! Isabella hasn't gotten my dad's permission." Yvonne's soft voice was filled with anxiety. She wasn't as foolish and reckless as Megan, but she, too, wanted Clayton to herself. 'Everyone will think Clayton and Isabella are engaged if they leave like this. I won't allow this! Such an outstanding man should be mine,' she mused.<br /> <br /> "Dad, say something! How can you let Isabella leave like this? Mr. Winslow hasn't agreed to cancel the engagement yet!" Yvonne urged.<br /> <br /> Nathan met his beloved daughter's gaze and cleared his throat. "Isabella! Come back!"<br /> <br /> Terence and Lorelai exchanged glances before the latter shouted, "Isabella, stop messing around. Come back and let's talk things out."<br /> <br /> Isabella tightened her fists, and Clayton patted her on the arm as reassurance.<br /> <br /> He stopped, turned around, and glanced at the people on the stage. "Thank you, Mr. Zachary Winslow, for falling in love with someone else and giving Isabella to me."<br /> <br /> Everyone, including Isabella, looked at Clayton in surprise.<br /> <br /> Gazing at Clayton's side profile, Isabella thought, 'I'm so lucky today. This random man that I chose supports me without hesitation.'<br /> <br /> Clayton then looked at Nathan. "Mr. Ingram, do you have a problem with your daughter marrying me?"<br /> <br /> His voice was gentle and calm, but his domineering aura made Nathan flinch.<br /> <br /> "Zachary, my stomach hurts." An anguished voice rang out at that moment. Scarlett, grabbing Zachary, held her stomach and bent over in pain.<br /> <br /> "Scarlett, what's wrong?" The anxiety and concern in Zachary's voice were obvious.<br /> <br /> Isabella's gaze dimmed, and her heart ached when she saw how much Zachary cared for Scarlett. Lorelai and Terence looked at Scarlett furiously.<br /> <br /> Scarlett admitted timidly, "I-I have been pregnant for two months."<br /> <br /> "What? A-Are you pregnant with Zachary's child?" Lorelai was in shock.<br /> <br /> Scarlett nodded in pain. "Zachary, my stomach hurts."<br /> <br /> Zachary panicked and said, "T-Then, what should we do?" He didn't expect Scarlett to be pregnant. He looked at Isabella below the stage and averted his gaze upon noticing her tear-filled eyes.<br /> <br /> Chapter 4 Conspiracy<br /> "What are you still standing around for? Quick, get her to the hospital. The child's safety comes first," Lorelai said urgently, placing her future grandchild's well-being above all else.<br /> <br /> Clayton covered his mouth and stifled a chuckle. "Even in this situation, you still want your daughter to marry into a family like this, Mr. Ingram? What exactly do you hope to gain from the Winslow family?"<br /> <br /> His words caused a visible shift in everyone's expression.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Nathan's expression was grim.<br /> <br /> Marrying Isabella to Zachary was a strategic move for both families. However, if Clayton was willing to wed Isabella, he would become Nathan's son-in-law, with Rayson International as Nathan's backing.<br /> <br /> The value of one hundred Avid Ventures Real Estate paled in comparison to Rayson International. In the face of years of friendship and mutual benefits, Nathan was torn between loyalty and opportunity. He was a businessman, and he knew what he wanted.<br /> <br /> Clayton saw the calculative glint in Nathan's eyes, turned to Isabella, and softly inquired, "Shall we go?"<br /> <br /> Isabella tore her eyes away from Zachary and Scarlett, nodding gently.<br /> <br /> She visited the graves of her granddad and mother, George and Irina Sorenson, tenderly wiping their photos clean with a tissue.<br /> <br /> "I'm sorry, Granddad, Mom. Zachary and I are no longer together. Our marriage won't be happening," she murmured.<br /> <br /> Caressing Irina's photo on the tombstone, she couldn't control her tears. "I've tried to heed your advice, Mom, enduring everything. But now, I'm at my wit's end. I'm only 22 years old, still too young to take over the company with my current ability," she confessed.<br /> <br /> "I thought things would be fine once I got married, but now..." Isabella muffled her sobs with her hand, her body trembling as she knelt before the tombstone, curled into a small ball of grief.<br /> <br /> Since Irina's passing, Isabella had learned to endure silently through countless trials, enduring disdain from Nathan, Winona, and Yvonne. Growing up in a home that no longer felt like hers was a constant struggle, yet she clung to the hope that marrying Zachary would bring her freedom. She believed that everything would soon be fine.<br /> <br /> When Nathan told her about the engagement party that was about to be held, Isabella was overjoyed. They had planned to get married after her university graduation the following year, and once that happened, she'd finally be free.<br /> <br /> Zachary was the man she loved dearly, and she believed the union arranged by George and Irina must be the best course. After all, Zachary was the guardian angel George and Irina had chosen for her.<br /> <br /> Throughout her childhood, Zachary had been her constant companion, treating her with great care.<br /> <br /> George passed away when Isabella was just eight years old, followed by Irina when Isabella turned ten, enveloping her world in hues of gray.<br /> <br /> When Isabella turned twelve, Zachary left for his studies abroad.<br /> <br /> Tearfully, Isabella clung to his hand, reluctant to let him go, fearful of losing the sole connection she had left to George and Irina.<br /> <br /> She vividly recalled Zachary's promise as he held her hand and said, "Isabella, wait for me. I will come back and marry you when I'm grown up." Those words echoed constantly in her mind.<br /> <br /> Throughout the years, Isabella dedicated herself entirely to Zachary. She nurtured their relationship meticulously, treasuring their brief annual reunions, and worked tirelessly to mold herself into the person he admired, adapting to his preferences.<br /> <br /> Despite enduring ridicule, sarcasm, and insults from Megan and Yvonne, she clung to the belief that everything would be fine after she married Zachary.<br /> <br /> Marrying Zachary had been Isabella's primary motivation and ultimate goal throughout those years. Every future scenario she envisioned concluded with her union with Zachary.<br /> <br /> She firmly believed that marrying him would breathe new life into her existence, heralding a fresh chapter and a brighter future.<br /> <br /> Whenever she faced punishment and was locked in a dark room, whenever she suffered from hunger, whenever she faced difficulties, the mere thought of that envisioned future fueled her with boundless courage.<br /> <br /> Alas, that hope was shattered. The day she had dreamed of would never materialize. The envisioned future dissolved, leaving behind a shattered world. Isabella felt as though her heart had been torn from her chest, leaving behind an agonizing void.<br /> <br /> After a long while of weeping silently, Isabella raised her head, wiping away tears with trembling hands, and pledged, "Granddad, Mom, from now on, I'll live for myself. I'll do my best to not let you down." Despite the pain, she knew that life must persist, regardless of the circumstances.<br /> <br /> As Isabella left the cemetery, the sun had already descended below the horizon.<br /> <br /> Clayton's car waited silently by the gate, catching Isabella off guard. Stepping out of the vehicle, Clayton opened the passenger seat door for her. She said in a low voice as she settled into the seat, "Thank you."<br /> <br /> Clayton got back in the car and glanced at Isabella. Her eyes and nose were red, and she looked exhausted. "Let's find a place for you to rest," Clayton suggested.<br /> <br /> Isabella shook her head, recognizing the inevitability of confronting what lay ahead. "Mr. Murray, thanks for your help today," she croaked, her voice strained from emotion.<br /> <br /> Clayton started the car and asked, "Where do you want to go?"<br /> <br /> "Could you please drive me home?" Isabella requested softly.<br /> <br /> After confirming the address, Clayton fell into silence as Isabella leaned against the window, closing her eyes for the journey home.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, at the Ingram residence, Nathan, Winona, and Yvonne sat facing each other on the couch in solemn silence.<br /> <br /> Breaking the silence, Yvonne implored, "Dad, you can't allow Isabella to marry Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> Nathan, having deliberated the matter during his return journey, felt a disquieting unease despite acknowledging the potential benefits of Isabella's union with Clayton. When pressed by Yvonne, he couldn't help but raise his gaze to meet hers, questioning, "Why?"<br /> <br /> Yvonne hesitated, not knowing what to say, thinking, 'I can't say I should be the one to marry Mr. Murray, right?' She glanced at Winona.<br /> <br /> Winona, pouring a cup of coffee for Nathan, said with composure, "Nate, it's widely known that Isabella and Zachary have been engaged to each other since childhood. Considering her background, it's not suitable for her to wed into the Murray family. Won't they look down on her?"<br /> <br /> Chapter 5 Stirring Up Trouble<br /> Nathan furrowed his brow in response, stating, "That's her decision to make. If she chooses to marry Mr. Murray, and if the Murrays look down on her, she only has herself to blame."<br /> <br /> Winona exchanged a meaningful glance with Yvonne before continuing, "While that may be true, she's still your daughter. If there's talk about her outside, it inevitably reflects on us as well. That's not good."<br /> <br /> Winona looked up at Nathan, who listened intently. "I'm not her biological mother, so I have no authority to discipline her," she began. "As you can see, she rarely communicates with us these years and has her own ideas. What happened today was saddening. She humiliated you in front of everyone. It's one thing for her to disrespect me over the years, but the way she treated you today was unacceptable. Despite my efforts, she only acknowledges Irina as her mother, thinking that we owe her."<br /> <br /> Tears welled up in Winona's eyes as she sniffled. "I know what you're thinking. A marriage of convenience with the Murray family will benefit the company greatly. However, if Isabella doesn't stand by you, then..."<br /> <br /> Her words trailed off, but her meaning was clear.<br /> <br /> Yvonne's gaze flickered as she inwardly praised her mother's wisdom. "Exactly, Dad. We can't squander resources. Even if Isabella married into the Winslow family, there's no guaranteeing she'll put in a good word for you. Your partnership with Mr. Winslow has been smooth-sailing, and that's based on your friendship with him, not Isabella's involvement," Yvonne chimed in.<br /> <br /> Nathan suddenly realized what had been bothering him. Isabella's defiance had caught him off guard. He desired a compliant daughter, not one with her own convictions. He glanced at them, took a sip of coffee, and asked in a deep voice, "So, what do you guys suggest?"<br /> <br /> Winona and Yvonne exchanged a glance. Winona gently proposed, "Nate, we can't trust Isabella, but we can rely on Yvonne. She's our biological daughter."<br /> <br /> Nathan's focus shifted to Yvonne, who appeared bashful. "Mom, we're talking about Isabella. Why bring me up?"<br /> <br /> Winona's expression grew stern. "Yvonne, I'm serious. You're our daughter. You can't just enjoy the privileges your father provides. You must share his burden, understand?" she chided.<br /> <br /> Yvonne straightened up, raising her hand in a playful gesture. "Yes, Mom, I understand. I'll be there for Dad whenever he needs me," she vowed with a smile.<br /> <br /> Nathan was reassured by her promise. Nodding, he remarked, "Winona, you've raised her well. Isabella, on the other hand, is truly disappointing."<br /> <br /> Winona smiled faintly, "My hands are tied. Anything I say as her stepmother could easily be misinterpreted as having ulterior motives."<br /> <br /> "Hmph! It's because she doesn't know what's best for her," Nathan snorted. Then, he frowned. "Are you suggesting that Yvonne should marry into the Murray family?"<br /> <br /> Winona nodded, affirming, "We can trust Yvonne. She's our sweetheart."<br /> <br /> "But Yvonne is only twenty," Nathan voiced his concern. He had always cherished Yvonne and had never contemplated marrying her off at such a young age.<br /> <br /> Knowing that he was wavering, Winona smiled reassuringly, "So what if she's twenty? We can arrange for the marriage now and wait for Yvonne to graduate from university before holding the wedding. That doesn't make much difference."<br /> <br /> Nathan cradled his forehead, contemplating her proposal.<br /> <br /> "Dad, if it benefits our family, I'm in. Trust me; I'll try my best to ensure our family's prosperity," Yvonne declared resolutely, biting her lip as if determined to sacrifice herself for the family.<br /> <br /> Nathan eventually nodded in agreement, which put a smile on Yvonne's face.<br /> <br /> However, Winona intervened softly, "But, Nate, we're not acquainted with Mr. Murray. Perhaps we'll need Isabella to introduce us?"<br /> <br /> Yvonne was taken aback, immediately objecting, "Why should she introduce us? As we saw today, she asked Mr. Murray to marry her on the spur of the moment. Mr. Murray agreed as soon as she mentioned it. So, why can't we approach him directly?"<br /> <br /> Yvonne considered herself superior to Isabella. She mused inwardly, 'In terms of appearance and figure, I'm much better than that country bumpkin. Why should Isabella, who's inferior to me, get to marry such a perfect man? Since Mr. Murray agreed to Isabella's proposal, he'd agree to mine too.'<br /> <br /> Nathan thought her words made sense and pondered for a moment. "Well, how about we pay a visit to Rayson International tomorrow?"<br /> <br /> Outside the Ingram residence, Clayton parked the car and glanced at Isabella who was already asleep in the passenger seat.<br /> <br /> It should've been her engagement party that day. She wore a white knee-length dress, her pinned-up hair already disheveled, with several strands hanging down. Her delicate face appeared particularly pale. She didn't change much since childhood. As she jumped down from the stage, Clayton was struck by the pain and resolution reflected in her eyes.<br /> <br /> 'It seems like she's been struggling all these years,' Clayton thought, tenderly tucking her hair behind her ear.<br /> <br /> Isabella's long lashes quivered slightly as she stirred awake at his touch, momentarily confused upon seeing Clayton.<br /> <br /> "Are you awake?" Clayton asked gently.<br /> <br /> Isabella blinked, and the memories of what happened flooded back. She took a deep breath, attempting to quell the overwhelming pain pulsating through her veins.<br /> <br /> Gazing toward the Ingram residence, she was enveloped by a chilling coldness. This place had been her home, yet since the age of ten, she felt like a superfluous presence there.<br /> <br /> Previously, Zachary's presence had somewhat eased the void left by George and Irina. However, at present, she was all alone.<br /> <br /> The gate of the residence was like a gaping maw, ready to devour her and the legacy of George and Irina at any moment.<br /> <br /> "Do you need me to go in there with you?" Clayton asked softly, observing Isabella, who was staring into space.<br /> <br /> Isabella slowly shook her head. Staring directly ahead, she spoke to Clayton in a composed but distant manner. "Mr. Murray, can we make a deal? I need to leave this place now, but they won't allow me to rent a house independently. Our school's in the middle of renovations, and once the new semester kicks off, students like us who are in the senior year will have to find internship positions on our own, and we can no longer live in dorms. The only option left for me is to get married. Once I get married, I can leave for good."<br /> <br /> Clayton tightened his grip on the steering wheel.<br /> <br /> "I propose we marry, and I'll move into your residence. I'll reside there and pay you rent. If I face financial constraints, I'll provide you with a promissory note. I've mentioned that I'll inherit some assets after turning twenty-five. At that point, I'll settle all my debts to you. Then, we'll proceed with divorce proceedings, and I'll allocate half of the inheritance I receive to you as compensation for marrying me now," Isabella explained.<br /> <br /> Chapter 6 Realization<br /> Isabella declared resolutely, "I will draft a formal agreement stating our rights and responsibilities. Our union will only be a sham marriage. Should you happen to develop feelings for someone else during this time, I ask that you wait until we've been married for at least a year before seeking a divorce. I assure you, my commitment to our arrangement stands firm, and you will receive every cent of your compensation as promised. With this agreement in place, we can ensure fairness for both parties."<br /> <br /> Noticing a pen and paper tucked under the armrest, Isabella grabbed them, jotting down her phone number before passing it to Clayton. "Here is my contact information. Take your time to ponder my proposal; however, I expect your response within three days. Do not delay." With that, Isabella exited the car and left, leaving Clayton staring at the note in his hand blankly.<br /> <br /> Her decisiveness left Clayton momentarily stunned.<br /> <br /> He couldn't help chuckling as he watched Isabella walk away in determined strides. "Isabella, I'm back. I'll stand by your side no matter what you do," Clayton murmured, thinking, 'I'll let her do whatever she wants. Whatever happens, I'll clean up after her.' Even if she didn't know who he was, Nathan did. Nathan'd never dare to lay a hand on her.<br /> <br /> *****<br /> <br /> Dinner was served in a peaceful ambiance.<br /> <br /> "Ms. Sorenson, you've returned." One of the maids, Elsie Anderson, was surprised to see Isabella.<br /> <br /> Isabella paid no heed to the mix of surprise and disdain the other three were displaying. "Dad, Winona." Dipping her head, she greeted them before settling at the table, accepting the soup bowl offered by Elsie.<br /> <br /> She hadn't eaten anything since morning and was starving. Clayton had suggested taking her to dinner earlier, but she had declined. She would have to face this sooner or later, so why delay it?<br /> <br /> "Isabella, why are you only back now? Mom and Dad were too worried to eat," Yvonne said, sharing a meaningful glance with Winona.<br /> <br /> Nathan's expression darkened.<br /> <br /> Isabella finished her soup and put down the spoon. Disregarding the cold leftovers on the table, she explained, "I went to visit Grandpa and Mom. I needed to inform them that Zachary and I have called off our engagement."<br /> <br /> Nathan sneered, "And they didn't reprimand you?"<br /> <br /> Isabella lowered her head in silence.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, you've pissed your dad off today. How could you embarrass him in front of everyone?" Winona said softly.<br /> <br /> "Mom, don't blame Isabella. Remember, she's the eldest daughter of the Sorenson family and the designated heiress of Sorenson Multimedia. Dad wouldn't hold it against her. Who knows what those shareholders might say if he did?" Yvonne interjected, stealing glances at Nathan.<br /> <br /> Nathan's expression darkened further as his gaze bore into Isabella.<br /> <br /> Isabella quietly ate the food Elsie gave her. She had gotten used to such drama. Winona and Yvonne always sowed discord between her and Nathan. Then, endless insults would ensue that would sometimes escalate into physical abuse.<br /> <br /> She was a Sorenson, and her father was an Ingram. That was one of her sins.<br /> <br /> Nathan didn't lose his temper. Instead, he snorted derisively before leaving the dining room.<br /> <br /> Winona shot a glance and Yvonne and Isabella before following Nathan out.<br /> <br /> As soon as her parents left, Yvonne abandoned her facade of dignity. Casting a scornful glance at Isabella, who remained meek and reserved as always, she said sarcastically, "I'm amazed you still have the nerve to stay alive. If I were in your shoes, I'd have put an end to it all by now. Maybe flung myself into a river or hung myself. Anything's better than living like this. Your fiancรฉ despises you and cheats on you with your closest friend. Aren't you devastated? How do you even have an appetite?"<br /> <br /> After taking the final bite, Isabella met Yvonne's gaze with indifference. "I've found someone willing to wed me."<br /> <br /> Yvonne scoffed, "Wake up, will you? Do you honestly believe you're the eldest daughter of the Sorenson family?"<br /> <br /> Isabella merely looked at her coldly. Yvonne often carried herself with elegance and composure in public. Isabella was perhaps the only person who had seen her true colors.<br /> <br /> She thought, 'Does Yvonne ever get tired of pretending? I pretend to be indifferent and weak because Winona and Yvonne forced me to, but no one's forcing Yvonne. So why is she pretending?'<br /> <br /> "What're you looking at?" Yvonne bellowed at Isabella. Isabella's charming face never failed to anger her. 'Why does she get all the luck? A wealthy grandfather and mother, and even that envy-inducing face!' she seethed inwardly.<br /> <br /> Yvonne sent her plate hurtling toward Isabella.<br /> <br /> Isabella rose from her seat, narrowly dodging the plate as it crashed to the ground.<br /> <br /> "What's wrong?" Winona asked loudly.<br /> <br /> Yvonne glared at Isabella.<br /> <br /> Normally, Isabella would've quickly apologized to Winona, saying she had accidentally broken the plate. Yet, today, Isabella simply turned to face the incensed Yvonne in silence.<br /> <br /> Elsie interjected fearfully, "Mrs. Ingram, I'm sorry; I accidentally dropped a plate."<br /> <br /> Both Isabella and Yvonne looked at Elsie at the same time.<br /> <br /> Yvonne shot daggers at Elsie before exiting the dining room.<br /> <br /> Elsie tugged at Isabella's arm, whispering, "Ms. Sorenson, just endure it. This too shall pass."<br /> <br /> Endure. It was a mantra instilled in Isabella since childhood by Elsie and also what her late mother said to her. Today, however, she realized that enduring only made things worse.<br /> <br /> Isabella hurried to the bathroom, changing out of the dress and cleansing herself of the shame it carried. She then returned to her room on the second floor, a windowless storeroom bereft of sunlight year-round. She even had to use the maid's bathroom. Besides Elsie, no one would regard her as the family's eldest daughter.<br /> <br /> The luxurious room that her grandfather and mother decorated was handed over to Yvonne just a month after Winona and Yvonne's arrival. Isabella's living quarters changed each time she made a "mistake" until she found herself relegated to the storeroom, a decision that satisfied Winona and Yvonne at last.<br /> <br /> This was the consequence of endurance.<br /> <br /> Isabella curled up on the cramped bed, the air stifling and hot. The wind could only filter in when the door was opened. Yet, she didn't want to move, let alone open the door.<br /> <br /> Isabella closed her eyes, the events of the day replaying in her mind. She watched them unfold once more like a distant observer.<br /> <br /> The moment Zachary started dating Scarlett remained a mystery to her.<br /> <br /> Since Zachary's return from abroad, he started work in his family's company, leaving little opportunity for him and Isabella to spend time together. Isabella was never one to inconvenience others, so she never interrupted Zachary's work. Understanding his desire for a compliant girlfriend, she made every effort to fit that mold.<br /> <br /> Ever since Zachary returned, the two families celebrated festivals together, which Isabella enjoyed.<br /> <br /> Zachary didn't treat her poorly or particularly well, but he and Yvonne were tight. They got along well, even though Zachary used to dislike Yvonne as a kid.<br /> <br /> Chapter 7 Truth<br /> Today, Scarlett claimed Isabella had forgiven them, which was nonsense. Isabella didn't know anything about their affair.<br /> <br /> Isabella wondered, 'Why would she say that? Was it to make Zachary turn against me? If that's the case, it's obvious who played the video. However, Scarlett isn't stupid. There are so many ways to let me know, so why did she choose this one? Doing so will only cause her more harm than good. Oh, right, because doing so makes it seem like my handiwork. No one will suspect Scarlett of selling herself out. As for Zachary, he is always on Scarlett's side. He never admitted his mistake or apologized. He kept emphasizing that Scarlett is my good friend and that I should be nice to her. Zachary, am I being nice to her by letting you go? Why do you take everything I do for granted?'<br /> <br /> Isabella's heart ached as she recalled the tender look Zachary reserved for Scarlett.<br /> <br /> Zachary had never looked at her like that before. 'I'm just not worth his affection, huh?' she pondered.<br /> <br /> Lorelai's words hit Isabella like a sudden storm. Throughout the years, Lorelai treated Isabella well. Isabella once believed she was sincere and even vowed to take good care of Lorelai after the marriage.<br /> <br /> However, it turned out that Lorelai valued her social status and assets. That was probably her second original sin.<br /> <br /> Isabella held a significant 40% stake in Sorenson Multimedia, making her the company's largest shareholder. However, because of her youth, all the dividends from this ownership were directed into a trust established by her grandfather, which remained inaccessible until she reached the age of 25. She wouldn't receive her inheritance from her grandfather and mother until that time.<br /> <br /> Today, she finally realized that the Winslow family's acceptance of her wasn't based on genuine affection or sympathy for her loss of her mother. It also wasn't due to their acquaintance with her late mother and grandfather either. Instead, it was because of the assets she would eventually possess.<br /> <br /> They were kind to her because of her assets, and cruel to her for the same reason.<br /> <br /> Nathan had always been eyeing the property Isabella could inherit, especially because Yvonne didn't have any. When Isabella turned 18, Nathan deemed her old enough to handle her inheritance. He once pressured her to draft a document pledging half of the property to Yvonne. However, his plan was thwarted when the lawyer and four key company shareholders intervened.<br /> <br /> George and Irina foresaw the possibility of someone coveting the assets and therefore imposed an age restriction of 25. At 18, Isabella didn't have the authority to transfer her future assets.<br /> <br /> Nathan had married into the Sorenson family, so any child he had with Irina must carry the Sorenson name, while offspring from other relationships would not inherit this family name.<br /> <br /> Thus, Isabella was the only heiress of the Sorenson family.<br /> <br /> Furthermore, if Nathan decided to transfer his shares to Yvonne rather than Isabella, the four main investors would pull out their money from Sorenson Multimedia. The company had always been in the hands of the Sorenson family, and it would stay that way.<br /> <br /> If the major investors withdrew their support, the company would collapse, as Nathan's 30% stake alone wouldn't be enough to sustain it. Nathan's family eventually gave up on their plan.<br /> <br /> Instead of trying to butter Isabella up to get their way, they chose to resent her even more. Isabella couldn't help but admire them for that, for they didn't yield in the face of greed.<br /> <br /> Another way to access her wealth was by letting her marry Zachary.<br /> <br /> In this scenario, her property would serve as her dowry, to be shared with the Winslow family upon marriage. Given Isabella's infatuation with Zachary, she would likely agree to this arrangement. Consequently, Nathan collaborated with the Winslow family on various investment and development endeavors in recent years, aiming to reap the maximum benefits in due time.<br /> <br /> "Grandpa, Mom, 25 isn't a safe age either. If I were an idiot, I'd still be an idiot at 25 years old," Isabella murmured.<br /> <br /> Luckily, misfortune wasn't the only thing the heavens bestowed upon her. At least Zachary found his true love. She wondered if that had anything to do with divine intervention.<br /> <br /> Getting out of bed, she used a nearby book to fan herself.<br /> <br /> 'Time to draw up a contract for Clayton. If he's sensible, he'll agree to my terms,' she thought. Isabella needed to move out as soon as possible. She had neither the energy nor the mood to deal with Yvonne and Winona's tricks anymore.<br /> <br /> They wouldn't let her rent a place outside, because that would make it hard for them to control her. Also, that would bring disgrace upon the Sorenson family. The only escape route left was to get married.<br /> <br /> The identity of her partner hardly mattered, as long as he was a true gentleman. She would draft a pact, ensuring her safety and rights were protected. And in return, she would offer him the benefits he rightly deserved, for he would be her savior.<br /> <br /> She needed to find a place to settle down and focus on earning money, aiming to gather 300 thousand dollars within a year to finance her studies in Upria for the next five years. It wasn't much, but she could continue earning while studying.<br /> <br /> Her future needed replanning. This time, she was on her own, and she vowed to protect herself from harm.<br /> <br /> The next morning, Nathan took Yvonne to Rayson International. As they stood outside the towering structure, Yvonne was exhilarated.<br /> <br /> Amidst the bustling heart of the city, the building stood tall and majestic. The employees were in a hurry, but their demeanor radiated confidence and pride unmatched by those of other companies.<br /> <br /> A smile crept onto Yvonne's face as she envisioned herself as the owner of this impressive building and the wife of its esteemed boss, overseeing these elite professionals in the future.<br /> <br /> Clayton accepted the document from his assistant, Johnny Lawton, signing it before instructing, "Get in touch with Kayson and have him find a place for me near University of Moulmore. Something around 1,000 square feet, suitable for two people, and fully equipped with all the essentials."<br /> <br /> Johnny answered, "Okay."<br /> <br /> Seeing that Clayton was reading a contract, Johnny called Kayson.<br /> <br /> After a while, Kayson entered. "Boss, what do you think about Moonlight Apartment near University of Moulmore? It's just a ten-minute stroll from the campus, and boasts a thriving community with all the amenities you could need."<br /> <br /> Clayton thought for a moment, but the name didn't ring a bell. "Okay. Go ahead and purchase a unit."<br /> <br /> Kayson laughed, "Boss, that's our property. You reserved a suite for yourself on the 28th floor. I was wondering why you never brought it up again. Turns out you forgot."<br /> <br /> Johnny glared at him. "Cut the crap and get it sorted already."<br /> <br /> Clayton glanced at Kayson but remained silent. Kayson stuck out his tongue playfully, heading toward the door. "Boss, will you be living alone or will Mr. Maguire be joining you?"<br /> <br /> Without looking up, Clayton responded, "It'll be me and my wife."<br /> <br /> Chapter 8 Will You Marry Me Instead?<br /> Clayton continued working on the document while Johnny and Kayson stiffened. Johnny, usually collected, also stared at Clayton in disbelief.<br /> <br /> Kayson's mouth hung open. "Y-You and who, Boss?"<br /> <br /> Clayton glanced up at them, answering flatly, "My wife. Do you have a hearing problem?"<br /> <br /> Kayson gaped in shock at Clayton, who kept working, then turned to the equally dumbfounded Johnny.<br /> <br /> Another assistant, Weston Quinn, entered the office. "Mr. Murray, Mr. Nathan Ingram and his daughter are here to see you."<br /> <br /> Clayton didn't look up. "Did they make an appointment?"<br /> <br /> Weston shook his head. "No, but he mentioned Isabella Sorenson. Said you'd know right away."<br /> <br /> Clayton's head snapped up at once. "All right, bring them up."<br /> <br /> Weston was stunned, for he seemed to have caught a glimpse of a smile on Clayton's face.<br /> <br /> However, he blinked and thought his eyes must've been playing tricks. Noticing how Kayson was rooted in his spot, Weston presumed Kayson had been lectured again and hurriedly turned to leave.<br /> <br /> Clayton glimpsed at Kayson. "Why are you still here?"<br /> <br /> Kayson jolted out of his daze, murmuring, "T-This feels too surreal..."<br /> <br /> Clayton glanced at Johnny, who quickly composed himself, clenched his fists, and cleared his throat before saying, "This information is somewhat... unexpected. It's only normal that Kay needs a moment to process it, Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> Johnny then glared at Kayson. "What are you still waiting for? Go get it done."<br /> <br /> Promptly, Kayson exited the room, still looking thunderstruck.<br /> <br /> He had just shut the door when he saw Hendrix Henderson working in the personal assistants' office. "Hens, let me pinch you and see if it hurts!" Kayson reached for Hendrix's handsome face, but Hendrix swatted Kayson's hand away with a folder.<br /> <br /> "Oh, get lost. Pinch yourself." Hendrix scowled. "What's the matter with you this early in the morning? You got scolded again? You were in there for so long."<br /> <br /> Kayson retracted his throbbing hand in a heartbeat. "Ouch, that hurts! So this isn't a dream!"<br /> <br /> Hendrix rolled his eyes, used to how Kayson would act up at least a few times a day.<br /> <br /> All four of Clayton's personal assistants were men. Johnny had been with Clayton the longest and resembled Clayton most, as cold and aloof. Weston and Hendrix, while mostly reserved, still wore their emotions on their faces from time to time. As for Kayson, he was the lone constant jokester of the group.<br /> <br /> Kayson looked at Hendrix intently. "Do you have any idea what I was tasked with?"<br /> <br /> Hendrix couldn't be bothered to answer, knowing Kayson would continue talking regardless of whether there was any response.<br /> <br /> Kayson's Adam's apple bobbed. "Boss told me to buy him an apartment. He said it's for him and his wife."<br /> <br /> Hendrix's fingers that were flying over the keyboard froze. "Are you still half-asleep? You must've heard wrong, and so absurd at that. Watch yourself, or Johnny will come give you an earful!"<br /> <br /> Kayson snatched the folder from Hendrix and insisted, "It's true! Johnny is in there. He heard it too. Ask him if you don't believe me."<br /> <br /> Before Hendrix could reply, they spotted Weston leading Nathan and Yvonne over. Kayson's eyes widened at the sight of Yvonne while he nudged Hendrix.<br /> <br /> Hendrix looked over, thinking, 'My, isn't she a beauty? What's going on here? Could she be the "wife" that Boss was referring to?'<br /> <br /> Weston was perplexed when he caught sight of the duo's transfixed gazes. 'What's up with those two? Why do they look so stunned?' he wondered.<br /> <br /> Yvonne had been pumped up the moment she stepped into the lobby. The low-key yet lavish interior of Rayson International made the Sorenson Multimedia and the Winslow family's Avid Ventures Real Estate that she was familiar with seem like night and day.<br /> <br /> As she expected, meeting Clayton was no easy feat. Clayton never entertained visitors without appointments despite Nathan making his identity known.<br /> <br /> Luckily, Isabella's name had worked in their favor. 'Looks like he still remembers yesterday's incident. In that case, he will surely recognize me, too. The gown I wore was tailor-made and cost ten times more than Isabella's, practically making me the star of the event. There's no way he'll forget my pretty face,' she mused in glee.<br /> <br /> Yvonne's heart raced involuntarily when she saw Clayton's assistant coming to escort them upstairs. She thought giddily, 'My goodness, Weston's quite the looker. What a pity that he isn't pursuing a celebrity career.'<br /> <br /> They had taken the private elevator up to Clayton's office, where another two astonished yet dashing men stood by the entrance. Yvonne was beyond thrilled on the inside, confident they were amazed by her beauty. 'I knew it. No one will overlook my looks with Isabella absent. See, even Mr. Murray's assistants are mesmerized by me,' she pondered, brimming with confidence and anticipation.<br /> <br /> After Weston knocked on the door, a deep voice rang out from inside. "Come in."<br /> <br /> Weston opened the door and politely gestured for Nathan and Yvonne to enter. "Mr. and Ms. Ingram are here, Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> Clayton looked up, his gaze and voice turning cold as he questioned Weston, "Didn't you say Ms. Isabella Sorenson was here?"<br /> <br /> Weston turned quizzically to Nathan.<br /> <br /> Nathan was all smiles as he stepped forward eagerly. "Hello, Mr. Murray! I'm Nathan Ingram. Isabella's my daughter."<br /> <br /> Clayton did not get up or spare a glance at Nathan's extended hand. "Where's Isabella?"<br /> <br /> Nathan awkwardly retracted his hand. "Ah, Isabella. She's, uh..."<br /> <br /> "Mr. Murray, my sister wanted us to inform you that she can't marry you," Yvonne chimed in gently while staring at Clayton.<br /> <br /> Clayton arched an eyebrow at the father-daughter duo.<br /> <br /> Nathan clenched his fist at his side and said solemnly, "That's right. We've come to explain the situation. Isabella is already engaged, so she can't marry you. But I have anotherโ"<br /> <br /> "Mr. Ingram!" Clayton interrupted frigidly. "Hasn't it already been made clear to everyone yesterday? Isabella called off the engagement with her ex-fiancรฉ and asked me to marry her. If she wants to go back on her word, she'll have to tell me herself!"<br /> <br /> Nathan's face fell as it dawned on him that Clayton was serious about the marriage.<br /> <br /> Yvonne became anxious. "I don't think you understand, Mr. Murray. Her and Zachary's marriage contract is set in stone. It was personally arranged by her mother. Isabella can't call the shots!"<br /> <br /> Clayton leaned back, arms crossed. "Oh? How about me, then? Mr. Ingram, as I said yesterday, nobody has dared to stop me from doing anything I want. Have you forgotten that, or did you choose not to believe me?"<br /> <br /> Clayton stared at Nathan, who instinctively lowered his head in the face of Clayton's overwhelmingly imposing aura. A shiver ran down Nathan's spine. "O-Of course not, Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> "Then what are you doing here now?" Clayton's voice was utterly icy.<br /> <br /> Yvonne boldly met his eyes. "Mr. Murray, I'm Yvonne Ingram, 20 this year, currently a sophomore at the University of Moulmore, majoring in economics and management, and future heiress to Sorenson Multimedia. Will you marry me instead?" She had dressed to the nines to meet him today, convinced that she could catch his fancy. | Endless Stories | 206 | https://facebook.com/61555726498427 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

It affected her ability to stand, walk, and even sleep. Debra avoided stairs and had to use a scooter at work. <br /> <br /> While doing physical therapy for her ruptured disc, she met Dr. Ramani Peruvemba, who suggested she try Nevro HFX. Debra was skeptical but agreed to a one-week temporary trial since nothing else had helped. โI was very surprised at how well it worked,โ she said. She had 75-80% less pain by the end of the first day.<br /> <br /> After getting the HFX implant in April 2023, Debra was able to attend a trade show in Germany for work without any pain or constraints. It has been a great experience, she saidโboth the device and the patient support. Nevro even sent her a charger overnight to her hotel when she forgot hers on a trip. โNevro was as concerned about my health and well-being as my doctor was. Overall, my quality of life has improved, and people I know often comment on how much better I seem to be doing & looking!โ<br /> <br /> Find out if you qualify at <a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.HFXforPDN.com%2F&h=AT1ixX59g-MybFfkWRrNqdMjnl8nuiba0LZ2aoiLzzbKhnAsajJ7SVRubklWEJvYm16VypwavG_Sr1eTPUZYLMEzRUVb4gYjkfvvhMzQrc7ZDTetRZAvvOgJwpH7gUHmR_vdxE2aDVfRS2xNzy_9VyIJrklNiECGBGEiefFjT1A" rel="nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank" data-lynx-mode="asynclazy">www.HFXforPDN.com</a> <br /> #NevroHFX #DiabeticNeuropathy<br /> <br /> Results may vary.

Since getting the HFX implant that November, Kelli has had 95% pain relief.<br /> <br /> โNevro HFX gave me my life back,โ said Kelli. She is back to regular exercise, working out on the elliptical and lifting weights, and has lost 60 lbs. Her sleep has drastically improved too.

Just doing the smallest things around the house sent him to bed for days afterward to recover. โIt was extremely frustrating,โ he said. โI didnโt even want my grandkids coming over because the pain would send me into a rage. I would take it out on everyone.โ<br /> <br /> Burt couldnโt walk far or drive. He was told he was not a candidate for surgery. In 2020, a friend told him about trying a spinal cord stimulator. Burt reached out to Harborside Spine and Sports and was connected with pain management Dr. Joseph Sullivan. <br /> <br /> Dr. Sullivan recommended he try Nevro HFX temporarily for one week with an external device. By Day 2 of his trial, he was back to driving his tractor and dump truck. โI fell in love with HFX and did not want to give it back.โ<br /> <br /> Burtโs goal was to get 50% of his life back, but since he got the HFX implant in August 2022, he has 70% of his life back and is off pain meds. Heโs out and about again, has lost 10+ lbs., and is fostering a police dog until itโs old enough for K-9 training. โBefore HFX, I would stay in bed all day. Now, I am up by 6-7 AM ready to go.โ<br /> <br /> ๐ก Find out if you qualify for this chronic pain treatment option at <a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.NevroHFX.com%2F%23patient-assessment&h=AT3jr7x_rsadUfeezokZwtt4J4GTqHzhUDFpHqzSkeoKoZu40NRf-covO2bDfaC017BOxlo9pUNVJCdvAU4sEO9P9oJEdvz7knOJYO7cIrJRxOZR3fQhtMV3V0XIYZpMiwokoB45DwYw9yYFQNGkawRe9DDMAvyzPuM8oJhxEDM" rel="nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank" data-lynx-mode="asynclazy">www.NevroHFX.com/#patient-assessment</a> <br /> <br /> โ HFX is a small device that blocks pain signals at the source <br /> โ HFX is covered by all major insurance plans including Medicare<br /> โ HFX is offered by pain management doctors nationwide<br /> <br /> #NevroHFX #ChronicPain<br /> Results may vary.

Constantly turning to Ibuprofen or Tylenol can be good for a quick fix, but the bad news is they just cover up the symptoms. They don't actually fix a problem. <br /> <br /> Hi, here at Coburn Chiropractic we've helped hundreds of people in the Bay City area get out of pain without the use of drugs or surgery. <br /> <br /> The problem most people don't realize is that when the spine is out of alignment or not functioning properly it causes nerve irritation. This leads to things like... <br /> ๐ Migraine Headaches<br /> ๐ Sciatica<br /> ๐ Bulging Discs<br /> ๐ Degeneration<br /> ๐ Trouble Sleeping<br /> ๐ Neck Pain<br /> ๐ Back pain<br /> ๐ And Many More...<br /> <br /> Rather than covering up the symptom, we focus on getting to the root cause of the health issue by removing nerve interference in the spine! We're booking 25 appointments for a $40 New Patient Exam & Consultation. <br /> <br /> Tap the "SIGN UP" button below to claim your spot! ๐ | Coburn Chiropractic Bay City | 240 | https://facebook.com/CoburnChiropracticBC | 0 | SIGN_UP | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Cady thought sheโd made her peace with death, but as chills ravaged her body and aches destroyed her nerve endings, she didnโt know if she still wanted to die. What if the vaccine failed? She didnโt have enough time to figure out the answers to any of her questions. She needed time.<br /> <br /> She wanted more time.<br /> <br /> All sheโd tried to do was save as many people as possible.<br /> <br /> Her hope hadnโt taken into account the vast devastation planned or the fact that pain was a part of the game. The game that centered around eradicating the population.<br /> <br /> Her friend betrayed her. Her husband abandoned her.<br /> All she had left was her daughter. Everyone else would be dead by now, or worse off than she was.<br /> <br /> Cady didnโt have the right to complain, yet she longed to end her suffering with the Glock hiding under her bed.<br /> <br /> Yet, what could she possibly hope to accomplish with a bullet in her brain?<br /> <br /> Lying on the floor beside her bed, she reached under the mattress and pulled the gun from its position of safety.<br /> <br /> The weight was comforting as she tightened her fingers on the handle. She squeezed her eyes shut and slumped back to the carpet.<br /> <br /> Nothing was soft or calming. The threads of the carpet abraded her skin, every nerve screaming to be left alone, yet itching at the same time.<br /> <br /> It would be okay for her to end it. No one would know. No one would care.<br /> <br /> If she killed herself, every sacrifice would be in vain. Her daughterโs pain would be for nothing.<br /> <br /> Cady dragged a breath through her swollen and cracked lips. She didnโt want to open her eyes and find the sun beating through the window. She didnโt want to acknowledge the chill in the air as an illusion to a fever.<br /> <br /> She just wanted all of her blankets on top of her, warming her in the sun.<br /> <br /> Half-heartedly, she reached up and tugged on the blankets, but couldnโt budge them. What was she thinking about? Oh, right, killing herself. Everything would be a waste. Cady didnโt like waste, and all of that would be the worst kind.<br /> <br /> She groanedโฆ if only the vaccine had been enough.<br /> <br /> BINGE ON YOUR FAVORITE DEVICE | B.R.

You won't talk to me, and every time I get close to you, you scurry away." He put his hands in his pockets.<br /> "Christian, there is nothing to talk about. I don't have time for your gibberish. Don't you have other girls to bother? What can you possibly talk to me about? !" I was losing my cool.<br /> "Natalie, I like you a lot." His eyes were getting dark. That look, there it was again. Desire? "CHRISTIAN!" I yelled. "Spit it out now! What did you come here fโ" Before I could finish my statement, he slammed his lips on me.<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> ~Christian's POV~<br /> Last night I heard my parents talking about Natalie coming home. I knew they were talking about Natalie Adams, the one girl who was untouchable or unapproachable. That vixen thought she was hiding in the shadows but I saw her.<br /> The thing is that she didn't realize how badly guys wanted her. Even if they came up to her it was funny because she would stare at them like they were stupid and her resting b-face said it all. She didn't even have to respond, and because of that they never approached her again. Talk about painted black. I think that was the color of her soul.<br /> The girl was beyond gorgeous. Every time she walked in a classroom or the cafeteria, her dark and mysterious demeanor attracted anyone. She would never know, because when you saw her with her earbuds on, it's as if Natalie was always in her own world.<br /> I wonder where she goes every summer because I never saw her around the pack when school was finished. I was thinking about asking my parents, but that will have to wait.<br /> I was always surrounded or being approached by girls, it never failed. I've slept around and I wasn't ashamed of it because I am an Alpha and an Alpha needs that release. I did have an ex-girlfriend that seemed to not know the meaning of "ex". Elle was always around when I needed an easy contact.<br /> She was Zeo Wilson's sister, our future beta, and was captain of the cheerleader squad. This girl would sometimes scare the other girls away and acted like she owned me. The girl is hot but has a nasty attitude and thinks highly of herself. No shame whatsoever.<br /> Natalie, however, she was the one girl I was profoundly attracted to. I wanted to feel and taste her. She had this strong aura around her and that confused me because I know her parents are warriors, but there was this ambience about her that made me want her more than any other she wolf. Just maybe, maybe she could be my fated mate.<br /> I went on Instagram and just like I assumed, she has her account in private, so you can only see her profile picture. It was a set of earbuds on top of a book in black and white. This girl was fascinating. I wanted to know her so badlyโฆall of her.<br /> I mean come on, who wouldn't want a piece of me. I'm 6 '6, muscular, I have the lightest gray eyes with dirty blonde hair, medium on the top and short sides. I'm every girl's wet dream. I've been told I look like the younger version of Christopher Egan. I'm better looking though.<br /> So I did what I have never done with any other girl. I sent her a friend request on Instagram. "Now the waiting game begins."<br /> ~Natalie POV~<br /> "Pfffsh, no!" He may be attractive, and I won't deny it. After all, I am a girl, and the guy is hot. Every girl may go crazy for him and desire him, but not me. He's a scumbag. His cocky disposition said it all.<br /> He sleeps with anything that has a hole. It's like a stray dog, leave it alone, you don't know where it's been. 'He probably has STDs or something, not to mention where his mouth has been,' Zoe said in disgust. Can't disagree. I know we may be exaggerating, but Christian's been around with almost every chic in that school.<br /> ~<br /> I was already running for 20 minutes, when I sensed another wolf running too. 'A warrior on security watch?' No. My wolf Jasper sensed it was a girl. As I got closer, I smirked. 'Well, well, lookie who it is.' I told Jaz, a shorter name for my wolf.<br /> I knew I would get to her first before she sensed us because Alpha's have stronger abilities than all other wolves.<br /> 'Lucky us. I am fond of this one, Chris.' Jaz said. 'Well let's go say hello, maybe we'll get lucky to allure her.' I said cockily.<br /> As we got closer, she turned around in defensive mode. 'That was odd.'<br /> "What, Christian! What are you trying to do? Give me a heart attack numb nuts!" She said, trying to catch her breath.<br /> I started to laugh, "Woah baby, no need to go in attack mode andโฆnumb nuts?" I said, raising an eyebrow looking offended with her word choice of insult. She was fiery, and her voice sounded hot.<br /> "Yeahโฆwellโฆyou should never sneak up on anyone running ALPHA!" She said angrily.<br /> Every time she spoke, my shaft twitched, and this time, I stepped closer. I smirked and licked my bottom lip. "Nat, you don't have to call me Alpha, just Christian or Chris for short." She noticed the action.<br /> She raised an eyebrow, "OkayโฆChristianโฆbut you will have to call me Natalie. Only my close friends and my parents call me Nat. What are you doing here? Were you stalking me? You know better than anyone never to sneak up on someone like that unless you're looking for a hip whooping," She spat. "You know how rogues don't follow rules and are ruthless killers!"<br /> "Wait, stalking! No, I was out for a run today. Why did you say it like thatโฆwaitโฆunless you saw the friend request." I said, dismissing the rogue statement.<br /> "Pleaseโฆyeah I saw it. Now that you bring it upโฆno." She simply said.<br /> "Noโฆ" I said, looking dumb founded.<br /> "We are not friends, and you have never spoken a word to me, Christian. What did you expect? It would be like you invading my personal space!"<br /> "Speaking of personal space, back off, you keep coming closer, dude." She looked pissed and was already fisting up her hands.<br /> "Shorty, why do you have to be so angry? It's just a friend request, and it's not just from anyone, but from your future Alpha," I chuckled. "Sweetheart, you make it difficult to get near you. In that case, let me get to know you better, Natalie. It's never too late." Now biting my lower lip.<br /> As I got closer, she kept backing up until she hit a tree. I leaned to her face, and I could smell the vanilla scent in her hair. She smelled good. I wanted to peck her badly. But that thought disappeared when I suddenly felt pain down south. 'Did she just hit my balls!' I went down on one knee holding my pair to soothe them.<br /> "Don't for one, think, I am attracted to you or treat me like those other girls you have luring around. I am nothing like them. Never invade my personal space. You may be my Alpha soon, but even the Alpha has to respect his pack members." She looked down on me and if I wasn't more attracted to her than ever.<br /> She was beautiful. 'Chris, mate or not, we want her!' Jaz said, and I couldn't agree more. ' She definitely is unique, Jaz, one of a kind. ' I said as I saw her curvy body making her way back home. My hands ached to touch her.<br /> 'The nerve of that fool' I told Zo. 'Did you see how he was licking his lips like if I was a piece of meat,' I said, all pissed off. 'He was sniffing my hair too! Creep!'<br /> 'You sure kicked him hard, girlie! If I could hi-five you, I would, so I'll do it mentally' she snickered. 'He is cute, though Natie. The guy has muscle. I wouldn't mind seeing his wolf Jasper.' Zoe said.<br /> Ughโฆmaybe so, but he is too arrogant and cocky. Zoe kinda caught me off guard with that comment, though. Traitor.<br /> I ran fast, heading home. So much for a quiet and peaceful run. I got home showered and changed. My parents weren't home. I noticed it was past 9, so I called Evie.<br /> "Good morning Natie! I woke up at 9 thinking you weren't kidding on calling me, but to my surprise, you didn't call on time. That's not you, Nat." She said, concerned.<br /> "Evie, you will never believe what happened to me. Come over so we can talk and head out!"<br /> _____________________<br /> "No freaking way! What are you for reals? ! Christian!" Evie's mouth was wide open.<br /> "The devil in the flesh Ev's!" I told her. I explained what happened this morning about receiving his friend request and what happened on my run, almost scaring the pee out of me by sneaking up on me. The way he caged me by a tree and how he was acting weird, like trying to make a move on me.<br /> "Nat, Christian has the hots for you." She said in a teasing voice. Christian is not a one woman man. "Ev's, no dude. Honestly, there is only one guy that I really would like to know andโฆugh," I said, now feeling a little sad.<br /> "Who! ? Ivan Carter? ! He is an attractive one, buddy."<br /> Ivan Carter belongs to another pack, the Midnight Pack. He is the son of Alpha Easton Carter. He also attends the academy, and every time I sneak a peek at him, my body reacts to him. I've touched myself just thinking about him.<br /> 'You ain't lying Nat, he's a total package.' Zoe said breathlessly.<br /> 'Okay make up your mind! ? I chucked.<br /> I have never gotten close to him or talked to him. Well it's my fault, actually. I don't like getting close to anyone, and I was scared that he didn't feel the same way. I can't get my hopes up anyway. He's meant to be an Alpha. We shouldn't really mess with Alphas either way. I've heard Alpha's can choose their mates as well, but a true fated mate can make a strong heir.<br /> He also has this chic that is always around him, Camila Ares. She is next in line for Gamma in his pack. She is always with or on him. She freaking irritates me.<br /> 'He doesn't look interested in her, but they are always together. Well him and his click.' Zoe putting her two cents in. 'Yup,' I sighed.<br /> "Evie, do you think this year will be different? I don't know if I'm ready to see who I'm mated to." I can't believe I sound so down. I mentally slapped myself, I got up and shook off all of those unwanted emotions and thoughts.<br /> I'm scared of these feelings I have for Ivan, only to be hurt if he's mated with someone else, which probably will happen. I have to do something fast and stop whatever this is before I get a broken heart.<br /> "Nat, you're gorgeous, and anyone mated to you will be lucky as heck because you are one of a kind! To answer your question, yes! This is our year!" She leaned over and gave me a big hug.<br /> "You're gorgeous too, buddy. Anyone would be lucky to have you as a mate. I'll kick your mate's hip if he thinks otherwise. I got your back, babe!"<br /> We got up and headed for my car. My parents had gotten me a used Red, fourth generation Camaro from 2004, on my 16th birthday. I love my car.<br /> I rammed my engine and headed to town.<br /> ~Ivan's POV~<br /> "Alpha Ivan! Hey, earth to Alpha!" Jerry hollered. "I'm right next to you idiot" I growled. "Put me on the spot, why don't you."<br /> Jerry Scott is my Delta, and he's already taking charge since his father stepped down. He is the head warrior and trains our pack members.<br /> Training is about to start, and we are about to spar each other.<br /> I will soon become Alpha of the Midnight Pack. At the age of 18, the current Alpha, my father, Easton Carter, will step down, and I will claim my place as Alpha.<br /> I got distracted with my thoughts. In a few weeks I'll be going back to school at the Blue Moon Academy. It's our last year, and I'm anxious, though. There's this girl that has been on my mind rent-free. I haven't made the effort to talk to her. It seems she's not the talkative kind and brushes anyone away.<br /> This year will be different. I will make the initiative to get closer to her. I'm all giddy just thinking about her. When I think about her face, her hair, and her body, I get turned on. Natalie Adams makes me feel things I've never felt for anyone.<br /> Striker, my wolf puts these images in my head of us sleeping. 'There is something about this girl Ivan, that when I see her, it makes me go crazy, she belongs to us. That aura around her when she is pissed is captivating?' Striker says calmly.<br /> It's not common when a person's wolf feels infatuated with a certain person who is not their mate. I've heard that Alpha's get signs if a girl belongs to them, but we haven't been too close to her to sense any of those signs. Honestly, I wouldn't even know the signs if they were there.<br /> Just watching her from afar has been enough for us both these past years. But it's time to change that because just looking at her is not sufficient anymore. We need and want more of her.<br /> However, he's right. We've seen people piss her off from a distance. She doesn't show emotion like other girls, but when she is angry, her aura is strong, and with that, she scares them off. She's fierce.<br /> Her demeanor says it all. I can't put my finger on it. Only wolves with high rankings have that type of aura that demands respect and obedience.<br /> But if I am correct, her parents are warriors from Christian's pack. Soโฆit can't be possible. Werewolves take their rankings seriously. Well, most of us. That's just the way it should be. Your destined mate and you should make a strong heir.<br /> It also irks me of the fact that Christian has had his eyes on her. It sucks that she is from his pack. You can see the gleam in his eyes when she walks into the lunchroom. My wolf wants to peek out and claw his eyes out each time. Arrogant nutsack.<br /> 'That's true. Should we do a bit of research regarding her family line?' Striker eagerly says. 'Yeah, maybe we should. Just maybe there is something more to her, and by luck, we could have a chance to be mated to her.' With that thought, I couldn't help but smile.<br /> You may ask, what is it about this girl that makes her so interesting? Well, she is definitely not like the girls at school or my pack. She is attractive, and that fierce, mysterious, emotionless demeanor she gives out makes her so alluring. Makes you curious about her personality and what she thinks. This girl attracts unwanted attention without even trying.<br /> All other girls yearn for that attention and throw themselves at guys, but not her. She also doesn't give any guy her undivided attention. It's like no one exists around her. She is in her own world.<br /> "Ay, what's that on your face! Are you smiling? Wipe that off Alpha, ain't nobody got time for that when you're about to get a beat down." Jerry says laughing.<br /> โฆand just like that, my face is emotionless.<br /> 'Alright, you got jokes!' I scowl. Turning around, I yelled, "BEGIN!"<br /> _________<br /> After our training, I headed to the pack house. As I open the front door and head to the stairs, I hear footsteps behind me, and someone jumps on my back. I knew it was Camila because of her scent. It's too flowery and strong for my liking. Striker growls.<br /> Everyone thinks that we are together, but that is far from the truth. We are friends with benefits. I don't feel anything for her, honestly. Striker gets pissed off. He dislikes her scent and voice.<br /> He only accepts it if we imagine Natalie beneath us.<br /> "Get off me, Camila! I'm your Alpha!" I yelled. She flinched and quickly got off. I already do Alpha affairs as I'm slowly transitioning into the labors of a true leader. I take my job seriously because leading is what I do best.<br /> "What's wrong baby, you've been distant lately? You don't want me anymore? You haven't invited me up to your room. It's been weeks now, Ivan." She said, with her whiny voice.<br /> Striker snapped, 'She better remember her place, Ivan! It's Alpha to this bimbo!'<br /> I palm my face. "ALPHA! ALPHA IVANโฆCAMILA! ! ! Don't forget my title and don't forget your place." I growled. I was being a scumbag.<br /> Don't get me wrong, Camila is hot. She is 5'8 taller than most girls, with chocolate brown hair. She has these pretty hazel orbs. However, she has an ugly attitude, especially with girls that get close to me. I can't stand that. I may have slept with her a couple of times, but I feel nothing for her. She is not Natalie.<br /> ~<br /> "What's up Ivan, you rang! ?" Pointing at his head trying to be funny.<br /> Jerry, Axel, and Camila are allowed to call me Ivan without using my title. Especially if we are alone or having a group conversation with just the four of us.<br /> However, Camila has been irritating me lately. I may have acted like a scumbag but I have to somehow hammer it in her head that we are not a thing.<br /> I said this before, but I take my position seriously. Being a leader is a serious matter and the decisions I make can have a life or death impact on my pack.<br /> From here forward, she will have to understand that I can not condone that type of disrespect especially if we are not together. I allowed it in my bedroom but now, things have changed. She also has to take her position seriously. If and when I find my Luna, she will be the one to be protecting her. That's the role of a Gamma.<br /> "Yup, I got a mission for you. But this is low key." I said glaring at him.<br /> "Okay, whatcha got? !" Jerry said now sounding excited.<br /> "You remember Natalie Adams from the academy? From Christian's Pack." I asked.<br /> "Yeahโฆwho doesn't! She's freaking hot!" He sheepishly replied.<br /> "Watch it! I want you to look into her family background," I said possessively.<br /> He covered his mouth and jokingly said, "Whaaaโฆ? !" I pinched the bridge of my nose and furrowed my brows. "Well can you or can you not! ?" sounding bothered now.<br /> He chuckled, "Of course I can, anything for you bro. Is there something I should be concerned about though or something I am looking for in specific?"<br /> "Have you ever noticed the aura she gives out at times? I sense power and strength like if she comes from a higher rank, but her parents are warriors," I calmly said. It may not be a big deal but I'm curious now.<br /> "I just think there's more than meets the eye with her," I wasn't lying. "She is so different. It's like Camila, she's a Gamma because of her dad, but Natalie seems to be stronger than a Gamma if you get my drift."<br /> "Ah, okay, okay, I get it. I'll get to it. You don't have to explainโฆit makes sense," he said. "This can not leave this room. This is between you and me," I said, trusting him.<br /> The less people know what I do, the better. It may be stupid to others but for me, this is imperative.<br /> "Got it!" Jerry said leaving the room. Jerry is my best tracker and hacker when it comes to technology. He is a genius, very observant, and fast. That is why he is our Delta. | Cra0001 | 35 | https://facebook.com/100091661543152 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

My dad is really mad at you and Raven being mates." Twin sister Reagan said to my mate.<br /> "I don't mind rejecting her, but I would have been embarrassed to face my mate" Justin said.<br /> "My father has decided to appoint me as his future Alpha not my sister Raven. So, I will be your luna." Reagan said to Justin.<br /> ******** <br /> I silently run through the woods letting my wolf Emerald out tonight. She has been anxious all day, well really the last few days, and I could tell that she needed to come out for a run. <br /> Alpha Cole Walker is the Alpha of the Blood Walker pack. He is said to be one of the most dangerous Alphas in the United States. It is said that he would hurt anyone who dared to enter his pack uninvited. Due to this fact, most of our pack members studiously avoid this area altogether.<br /> My twin sister, Reagan, is the golden child of the pack. They all love her unconditionally. She is cherished and appreciated, no matter what she does. They all seem to ignore the fact that she is a horrible and mean she-wolf. I was born first, and with that should come the respect that after I find my mate, I will officially be the Luna here, and he will take over as the Alpha of the pack. Yet they all treat her as the next Luna. <br /> My sister and I are the only children that our parents had. The Goddess never blessed them with another child, even though they tried for years. My father, Alpha Graham Sullivan, is very strict with me. I am not allowed to leave my room other than to eat my meals and then return back to my room again. I am also not allowed to leave our pack for any reason. I have never even crossed the border of the Sliver Blade pack in my life. <br /> I was the Alpha's daughter, but I was not a valued member of this pack. Telling on me has always resulted in a bonus for whoever told on me to my father. I have had to learn how to overcome this on my own. It has made me very independent over the years, as well as a very good climber. I use the tree outside my window at the pack house, to climb up and down to get in and out of my room.<br /> From my vantage point, I can see who is coming now and rolled my eyes so hard I almost saw my brain. It was Reagan, and she was pulling the arm of a pretty large guy, as she headed toward the grassy bank near my tree. I realized right this moment that I have picked a terrible place to hide. I should have doubled back and then climbed in my window to my room and I would have been safe and sound in my room. Reagan is clearly out with one of her many men, as she was allowed to stay out and do whatever she wanted to. I mean how else could she beat me to finding her mate if she didn't flirt with all the unmated men in our pack? I rolled my eyes again and then froze when I looked at them again and got a good look at his face.<br /> That smell coming off of him was starting to drive me wild, he smelled like freshly baked cinnamon buns, and I was now pissed off. She had come here with the guy that I had a crush on, someone with whom she had never shown any interest in before. It was our Beta's son and the guy that I have had a crush on for the last year and a half.<br /> "No, don't stop them, Raven, she has already been dating with him for the last few months. This is not the first time, it has been well before he returned to the pack earlier this week. They are together now, dating, and they have both vowed to reject their actual mates to stay together to take over and run this pack. Please, just try to bear it, I will help you get through it. I am glad that you are in a secure location, this may make you pass out" Emerald linked me, and I felt physically sick.<br /> "How do you know this? Did she know that he is my mate? Why can't I approach him? Maybe he wants me, Emerald. Please let me stop this. He might not know that I am his mate, he may still want me, want US! I don't want to lose him, Emerald. He may not be aware his true mate is here. Can't he already smell our scent up here, like I smelled his scent? Are you sure that this is the only way? Please Emerald" I linked her back, and I feel the tears that are already sliding down my face. I have questions, and I need answers.<br /> I am frustrated. I don't want to give up on my true mate. He doesn't even know that I am here, and I do want him. I don't want to give him up, especially not to my sister Reagan. I don't know if I can survive this level of betrayal.<br /> "I can't wait for mom and dad to announce to the pack that we will be the Alpha and Luna tomorrow. This is something that I have really wanted for the last 8 years. I am so glad you decided that we could be chosen mates. " My sister says to my mate.<br /> "Besides, I am also glad that you are willing to lead the Silver Blade pack with me. I have a feeling that my freak of a sister who keeps staring at you is going to be crushed when she finds out that we are together. You dodged by deciding to accept me as your chosen mate. I know that she has a crush on you, so she would probably try to ask you out or something when she sees that you are back from break." She adds.<br /> "I think we will be so happy together. Raven will be so angry when she finds out that we planned this months ago. I cannot wait for her to find out. I even told mom to have her sit on the front row for the pack meeting tomorrow, so I can see her face when dad makes the announcement. I am going to put her next to you so it will hurt her more when dad calls you up on stage. When she realizes that her crush is going to be my mate, she is going to be so jealous of me. I am so going to get a picture of her face when she finds out, as I will want to remember that moment for a long time" I heard Reagan say to him, and I was so choked up I couldn't hold in the sob of pain that managed to escape.<br /> It wasn't loud, but with werewolf hearing, it was loud enough. I just stayed completely still and prayed that they hadn't heard me, but Justin started talking when my sob escaped, and they had no reaction, so I think I am safe.<br /> "I have always thought that you were a she-wolf, Reagan. I am so glad that you came up to my training with your offer, and for us to get extra special time together. If Raven were allowed to move around the pack, I don't think that she would be missing the fact that she is my mate. I scented her today when I got back to the pack and confirmed she is my mate. Per our agreement, I don't mind rejecting her, as I am clearly getting the better sister out of this deal. I would have been embarrassed to have to call that freak of nature my mate" Justin said, and with it, my heart was completely crushed.<br /> These two evil people deserved each other, and I will not waste another tear on his betrayal. He "chose" her, so he can keep her. She will never be faithful to him, and he will not ever be able to trust that their children are his either. She was just doing this to ensure that they become the next Alpha and Luna. She is what he wanted, so she can have him. I am thoroughly disgusted by both of them, and I will not allow them to make me sad one more day. I had already decided to get out of this horrible pack, and I will not miss the Silver Blade pack for a second. <br /> "She is your mate? Are you serious? Oh, this is the best" Reagan said as she laughed out in joy at hearing this information. "Justin, why haven't you mentioned this to me before?" Reagan continued.<br /> "I just found out about it earlier today as I have been gone for my training for the last 4 months. I caught my mate's scent and followed it so I could go ahead and reject them. I realized it was coming from the Alpha level, and when I went up and it led me straight to her door, it was really faint, but I sensed it. She doesn't even know it yet. I am sure that this information is not going to go over well with your parents. They may be upset when they find out. Are they still going to want us to move forward with our plan? Or are they going to want me and Raven to be mates because we are true mates?" Justin asked Reagan. I have to admit, I was interested in her reply as well, but I already suspected what the answer was going to be.<br /> "Oh no Justin, you will definitely be staying with me. I know dad is really going to get a kick out of you and Raven being mates. Mom might feel a little bad for her, but I think that this is great. I could not be happier that her true mate, will become my chosen mate.<br /> We will rule the Silver Blade pack together, and it will hurt her every day to see us together. It is my pack any way, it was never going to be hers. Maybe if we are lucky since she doesn't have a wolf, she won't be able to scent you, and your rejection might even hurt her when you do it. That would be the best-case scenario for all of us" Reagan said, and I could tell that Justin was a little shocked at how hateful she was. Reagan could tell that Justin was not liking this side of her so she quickly changed her attitude and started cooing at Justin, "She doesn't deserve you, baby, I love you and I want you. Hopefully, you will come to love me too.<br /> I was just worried, I don't want you falling in love with my sister after we have already mated." Reagan said to Justin, looking up at him adoringly through her long lashes. I have to admit, she really knows how to work people to do what she wants them to. Her ability to look innocent and pure is without measure, she could have been an actress.<br /> "Dad hates Raven. He will be very happy about this. He has never loved her since the day that she was born. Mom might be a little upset, but she will get over it. She and dad are chosen mates, she gave up her true mate to become the Luna of the Silver Blade pack. She did it herself, and if it is good enough for her, then it is good enough for me to do it as well. We make the perfect couple. We will have strong pups, and our pack will flourish" Reagan said, and I am stunned. I knew my dad was mean, but to hate me, why? What reason could he possibly have for hating me? My parents have told the whole pack numerous times through the years that they were true mates. They are very affectionate with each other in front of the pack. I didn't even know that they weren't true mates. What else don't I know about them?<br /> "We will do the same thing. You will have to reject Raven first thing in the morning, or after the pack meeting. But you will have to do it where no one else will hear you. Dad is going to tell the pack that we are true mates, so they will fully support us. Dad thinks that it would be a mistake to not have the pack's full support behind us when we go to take it over from my parents" Reagan said, and I am amazed at all the plans that they have kept away from me. Just another thing that shows how much difference there is between Reagan and me. I hear them touching again and wonder when they plan on leaving the area, don't they need to get back to the pack house?<br /> I narrow my eyes at Reagan, as she is ecstatic about getting to truly rub all of my misfortune in right now. Justin is getting the opportunity to reject me, so the situation that we are now in is all positive for them.<br /> "Raven, why are you out of the house? Are you supposed to be out here? Are you OK? That fall looked like it hurt pretty bad" I hear my sister ask me with an innocent look on her face like she cared about me. She was fully aware of how I am kept a prisoner here at the Silver Blade pack. I really have to get out of here. I needed to check and see how badly I am hurt because I don't know if I even have time to go pack a bag now. I may be having to leave here with nothing, but I am OK with that. I just need to get the heck out of here. I will figure out what I need to do after I am safely free of Silver Blade.<br /> "Are you ignoring me, Raven? Are you sure you want to do that to me? Fine then, I will just make sure that you get punished for leaving your room. You are not supposed to be out here anyway. I will just let dad know that you are out here, and he will take care of you" Reagan said with a smirk, and then she started mind linking. <br /> I and my wolf were running away from this pack. But they caught us immediately.<br /> "If you come back here now Raven, I won't punish you for leaving your room without permission" I heard my father tell me. <br /> "Nothing in the world could possess me to do that father," I told him, and I see his eyes glazing over as he goes to link someone. I could care less what they have to say to me, and I turned to walk away. <br /> "You will get punishment in the Blood Walker pack. You know how dangerous they are Raven, you have heard this fact for your whole life. They cannot be trusted, and you are now a rogue. We have told you, and the whole pack, exactly what happens to those who trespass on their land. The moment they scent you they will move in, and you will die today. Is that what you want? Do you want to die? I will get you more freedom in the pack. I will allow you to go to the library every day instead of once a week. How does that sound?" my mother's voice is calming and comforting. She has never before sounded as nice as this, and I know that dad put her up to try to lure me back into the Siler Blade pack. They must be desperate to do it, so I want to see how far they intended to go with it.<br /> "Let me ask you this mother. Was the plan to get Justin to take Reagan as a chosen mate her idea, or dad's?" I asked her. Mom is not a very good liar. I can see her expression as we are only about 20 feet apart from each other right now. <br /> "I don't know what you are talking about Raven, they are mates," my mom said to me, and now I smirk at her. Clearly, mom was keeping me out of the loop and doesn't know that I know for a fact that they aren't.<br /> "Thanks for always lying to me mom. That makes it so much easier on me. I will not be coming back to the Silver Blade pack. This is the last time, Goddess willing, that you all will probably see me and actually I am welcoming the death that is coming to me. It will be better than the life I have lived since Reagan tried to hurt me, and my own dad called me a liar when I told him what actually happened. Justin is not her mate mom, and I know this because he is MY mate. It is disgusting what all you three have done to me and allowed to be done to me my whole life. I never deserved to be treated the way I was. I can only hope that I can find my way and get to live a life that allows me to find someone who loves me and realizes that I am a good person. I don't think that is too much to ask for, do you mom? It seems like you and dad are willing to do anything to get me to come back over the fence, but we both know that if I did come back, I would either immediately be thrown in the cells. So, I will take my chances over here, where at least I have a chance" I told them and turned again to leave. I only made it a few steps before I was stopped again by my father's hateful words.<br /> "You are ungrateful daughter, How do you have the nerve to say that to me? I have clothed and fed you, provided you a room, and let you go to school. I did take care of you, and it is disgusting to see how you repay me. Lying about Justin being your mate. Trying to take your sister's mate away from her. I know that I can speak for your mother as well as myself when I say that we hope the Blood Walker pack disposes of you quickly. I only wish I could punish you myself" my dad roared out, and the hate was coming off of him in waves.<br /> "You disgust me father," I told him and the tone I used to draw out the word father let him know just how little I thought of him being my father. "I have never done anything to cause a problem or disruption in the pack, or in the family. I did what I was told this whole time. Even as knowing that you let the whole pack know that I was fair game if they wanted to hurt me, and they did dad, over and over again. You know what, it was my family that really took the award for the most torment. Your unwarranted hate, mom never supporting me, and my sister allowed to try to hurt me, and incite others up against me made me realize that life will be much better on this side of the border than it was on that side. Even if I only live an hour more, it would be better than the years I spent over there."<br /> I wiped off my tears and walked past them, suddenly, I hear something coming to meโฆ<br /> <br /> <br /> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><br /> Wanna listen more? download our App and check more!

I can hear the demand in his voice, he's practically begging for me to submit, but I won't.<br /> I walk back, making him think he's getting his way. A coy grin tugs at the corners of his mouth, but I stop in front of him, leaning back against the other side of the bar. With a slow ease I cross my arms in front of me, expecting his gaze to dip to my chest that's now more pushed out in my tank, or even down to my legs in my short skirt, but his eyes remain locked on mine.<br /> "I've got a name," I say evenly. "Learn to use it and you'll get your drink."<br /> His eyes flash. "Nah, I like doll better."<br /> I shrug one shoulder, biting my bottom lip. "Then I guess you'll be thirsty."<br /> โ<br /> It was after ten on Friday night, The Bar was popping. By the capacity of people I was inclined to believe that every single person in Kettle's Bell was here tonight. Between the music and the people my ears were filled with a hum of activity. The place was alive. It was going to be a good night. Jeb was off on vacation with the newest Mrs, and TJ was in charge tonight. There was just something about working a place like this for a woman that was so much more satisfying than when you do it for a man. It was more empowering and less sleazy.<br /> At least a little.<br /> I was on a high, fixing drinks faster than I ever had, getting bigger tips that I'd gotten in all of my shifts so far, and my song was on.<br /> I was in an untouchable zone.<br /> An hour earlier I'd heard the terror bringing whisper of "They're here." Being passed around the bar area. I didn't have to ask who to know. I'd wondered how many days I'd have to work before I finally got to see the ones all the stories are about. According to TJ, they came often, so I was admittedly a little curious at least when I got news they'd finally decided to show.<br /> Keeping cool, still pretending to be focused on the washed up jock sitting in front of me at the bar I'd scanned heads. No one new yet. I'd been really ready to chalk it all up to small town gossip when finally I saw them.<br /> It wasn't hard to know it had to be them, the way the crowd split open for them like they were Gods. Six men brushed in the front door, all looking like they could break any person in this bar in two if they so pleased. Freakishly tall, unnervingly built, and covered in tattoos, they definitely made an entrance. They'd broken off just inside the door, two heading over to the stairs, three moving to find a spot (not that it was hard since the full booth of people jumped out of their seats and practically ran away as they got near) by the center stage where Candy Crush was up on the pole.<br /> The last one came over to the bar, sitting just three stools down from jocky.<br /> "Bourbon." He said, folding both of his hands on the bar top. He was handsome, not so much in the conventional way. His face was long and his beard was shaved up close to his jaw, very well-manicured. His hands were tattooed to look like skeletons and he smiled wickedly when he caught me looking. "You like?" He'd asked and I had shrugged casually as I poured his drink.<br /> "Pretty cool ink." I slid his drink to him with a smile.<br /> He took a long swig of the glass and then leaned forward on his elbows. "You got any ink, new girl?"<br /> "Actually, it's Alyssa, but no." I reached under the bar for a sip of my water, but he continued to stare.<br /> "How'd you end up here?" He asked after a minute, the question sounding strangely like an accusation, but I kept up the smile, popping the tops off of two beverages for the girls down the bar.<br /> "Bad luck I guess." I winked and he pulled out a toothpick and stuck it in the side of his mouth, letting it dangle between his teeth.<br /> "I'd say." He'd said, then like a harmless puppy, he'd taken his drink to join the others, Becca chasing him down on his way. She called him Toby and was asking him where Daimon was at. I gathered from his clipped answer and her sad expression that tonight wouldn't be the night I got to meet this baddy bad leader of theirs.<br /> Their coolness had long since worn off since they'd been here. No one was getting beat up, I didn't see any deals going down, and they were spending money left and right. I really didn't see the issue with these guys honestly. The one from earlier, Toby, had even gone and requested a song. To his credit, it was a bomb song.<br /> He'd gone back over to the stage area, which was only a bit odd since he wouldn't even be able to hear it from there where the dancers had their own music, but I loved it, so I didn't question it a bit.<br /> It was getting closer and closer to midnight, the time it would really start to get crazy in here, and I enjoyed my moment of down time. I let my hips move to the music, closing my eyes as I swayed behind the bar, blocking out everything else.<br /> "Who are you?" A deep gravelly voice broke through my concentration near the end of the song. I opened my eyes and nearly needed to pinch myself under the bar. With one look I knew exactly who this must be.<br /> There was no question in my mind, this was Daimon Kross.<br /> I wanted to react to him, but I didn't let myself.<br /> I did on the inside though.<br /> Holy freaking baby Jesus mother Mary and the whole gang, this guy was...there wasn't a word. I didn't know men that looked like this existed outside of a Hollywood made film. First of all, like the others, he was huge. Shoulders so broad I'm sure he could easily drape me over them, not that I'm picturing that, and he had to be at least 6'4. I'm not short by any means, actually a little tall for a girl, but jes-us was he up there. His black t-shirt probably deserved a metal the way it was working its little heart out keeping his thick muscles contained, and I was more than a little curious about the lines of tattoos I could see running out of the neck out his shirt and his sleeves.<br /> As if his body wasn't distracting enough though, his face was everything a face should be. A thick jaw with just enough scruff, dimpled chin, cut cheek bones, long sharp nose with a pale white scar across the top, and those eyes...deep set amber colored eyes fringed with jet black lashes and over shadowed by the thick lines of his black eye brows. He looked dangerous, he gave off a whole sense of danger, and somehow, my body wanted to drive right past all of the caution signs and collide with him anyway.<br /> Luckily, I'm the one in control, not my body.<br /> With a very well-practiced level of disinterest, I look away, looking to my nails on my right hand, the glossy black paint is fine, but I pretend to look for an imperfection.<br /> "I'm Alyssa," I tell him, turning back to look him right in the eyes. "Who are you?"<br /> I already, know, I just ask to piss him off. The way his eyes narrow tell me it worked.<br /> "Kross," He says with an air of authority. "Daimon Kross."<br /> I laugh at his seriousness, probably a bad idea, but you can tell the guy thinks a lot of himself. "Bond, James Bond." I mimic in a deep voice, turning my back to him while I throw away a couple empty bottles.<br /> When I look back he's leaned forward, elbows on the bar, hands gripping my side of it.<br /> My god, he has nice hands.<br /> His eyes narrow in on mine. "Careful." He whispers. I know his type. The kind that thinks he owns anyone he decides he wants to own. But I can't be owned. Not anymore. I turn to walk away, but his booming voice stops me. "I want a beverage."<br /> "I'll go get Becca for you." I look at him over my shoulder.<br /> His whole body tenses. "I didn't ask for Becca." He grinds out. "I asked you."<br /> I just smile. "She'll be right down." I turn again, taking a few steps away, catching my breath while he can't see me.<br /> "Hey, come back here and make me a drink, doll." I can hear the demand in his voice, he's practically begging for me to submit, but I won't.<br /> I walk back, making him think he's getting his way. A coy grin tugs at the corners of his mouth, but I stop in front of him, leaning back against the other side of the bar. With a slow ease I cross my arms in front of me, expecting his gaze to dip to my chest that's now more pushed out in my tank, or even down to my legs in my short skirt, but his eyes remain locked on mine.<br /> "I've got a name," I say evenly. "Learn to use it and you'll get your drink."<br /> His eyes flash. "Nah, I like doll better."<br /> I shrug one shoulder, biting my bottom lip. "Then I guess you'll be thirsty."<br /> He tightens his shoulders and the muscle in his jaw pops. "I guess you won't be getting any of my money."<br /> I smile easily, crossing my ankles. "What a pity, I guess I'll just have to settle for money from all of these other people in this super busy bar." I tell him, knocking him back down a peg. He thinks he's the only man alive, I can show him he isn't.<br /> I'm only slightly concerned when he leans back, flashing his teeth at me in a vicious smile. "That so?"<br /> I flash a full smile of my own, watching him watch me. "Goodnight, Mr. Kross."<br /> Before I can think about walking away he slides his stool back with a loud scrape and he's standing, turning away. "Boys! Hey, everyone shut up!" Everything stops. Literally. Even the freaking music. "Listen up, under no circumstances will anyone here order from, talk to, or tip Doll Face here." I glance around, shocked to see that way more bikers have gotten here in the past hours. They're practically crawling all over the place. Daimon turns to me with a dark smile and lowers back onto the stool. "Looks like you aren't making a dime until you make me my drink, doll."<br /> He's so smug, sure he's won. He has no idea how wrong he is. Had the old Alyssa been here, she'd have scrambled to do what he wants, but she died long ago. I work on burying her deeper everything single day and I'm not about to let Daimon Kross dig her up again.<br /> "Is that what you see?" I walk towards the bar, leaning forward, less than a foot from his face. I want him to look at my body, that would make this easier, but I can see him fighting it. He keeps his gaze locked onto mine. It's intense and I don't know why I'm still fighting this instead of just giving the man his beverage, but I just won't back down. That's not the Alyssa I am anymore. I can never be her again. Knowing I'm playing with fire I say, "Because I see a very full bar of men who are going to be very thirsty in a little while, and a waitress who's night just got way easier. Since no one will need me now, I'll just be over there with my feet up."<br /> You're no one if you can't walk the walk after you talk the talk, so without over thinking it, I walk out from behind the bar, my heels clicking as I cross to the closest booth in the corner. I sit down, pushing back so that I can prop my legs up in the booth in front of me.<br /> It's ballsy, but worth it.<br /> I certainly don't expect him to follow me, but he does. Right to the booth. I should have thought about my positioning before now, but it's too late. He stands at the front of the booth, towering over me where I sit. In the corner like this, he could murder me with one hand and no one would even know it happened.<br /> "Just who do you think you are?" He snaps, his hands at his sides clenching like his jaw.<br /> I lean forward, drawing my knees up just a little. Not enough to flash him my undies, but enough to make him think I might. "Alyssa," I look up at him under my lashes. "Not doll."<br /> He lifts one hand and rubs his jaw, his annoyance rolling off of him. "Get up and do your job." He bites out. It's a direct order, I can feel the urge in me to do as he says, but I hold that down. I fight it with every bit of fight I've got left.<br /> I blink up at him once. "What's my name?" I say tauntingly.<br /> He leans down so fast I don't know how I don't jump, and he grips the edge of the table, making it creek. "Doll. There are other waitresses here."<br /> "Smart boy," I nod, looking past him. "There goes one now."<br /> Becca emerges from the stairs, scanning in a frenzy to find him. When she sees him she smiles sweetly, lowering her head just a little before waving once. He looks away from her and back to me, his eyes finally trailing over me like I've wanted from the beginning. It's calculated though, an appraisal he is choosing to show no interest in.<br /> "This isn't over." He snaps.<br /> I stretch my legs back out, crossing my ankles again. "Looks over to me."<br /> I feel the table shake in his grip, behind his face I can tell he's holding back. "You're really asking for it aren't you?" He whispers menacingly, leaning down closer to me. "Do you have any idea who I am?"<br /> I don't know where I get the nerve, or maybe it isn't nerve at all, maybe I just want to do it, but I reach out, lightly touching his hand with mine. It's a quick pat, condescending even, before I pull back. I can already tell he's pissed and I haven't even said anything yet. You don't initiate contact with guys like him. It takes their power away. They don't like that. But I don't care anymore.<br /> "I hate to break your heart," I whisper, sweet as pie. "But I stopped being afraid of the big bad wolf a long long time ago." He jerks upright at my words, glowering down at me as if I'd slapped him before he controls his expression. "You'll have to do much better than all that if you expect to scare me."<br /> "I'm sure I can." He seethes, backing away. "You'll regret this." He says.<br /> I just shrug, watching him go. "I'll add it to the list."<br /> I barely get a five minute reprieve from the overpowering presence of the Daimon Kross before TJ is rushing towards me, the look of horror all over her face. "Alyssa, what did I tell you?" She asks, exasperated. "Are you actually insane?"<br /> "No ma'am, I just don't like being treated like a thing instead of a person." I tell her and she sighs loudly.<br /> "That's all very commendable and all, Alyssa, but you're working in a club right now." She looks down her nose at me and then shakes her head. "Actually, you aren't even working."<br /> "He told-." I try to say but she cuts me off.<br /> "Get on stage." She points to the one in the middle that Ren is exiting. "If you can't be useful as a bartender tonight, you're going to have to do something."<br /> I nod once. "You got it boss."<br /> I take the stairs quickly, brushing into the dressing room and changing into a stage outfit. I pick a frilly pink thing, going for that innocent angel thing that drives men wild, pairing it with some far from innocent undergarments to strip down to. I know the drill.<br /> The beat from the bass blurs everything as I take the stage.<br /> I wrap one hand around the pole, letting the music sink into my bones as I make a slow circle around it once.<br /> I can feel him before I see him.<br /> I open my eyes, looking up to the balcony on my left and there he is, all alone. His eyes on me, a smile on his face. I want to hit that smile right into next week. He thinks he's won. I'd bet money he was the one who made TJ put me on stage. He thinks he can degrade me by forcing me onto the stage tonight, but again, the joke is on him.<br /> I'm way past letting something like this get to me.<br /> I let it fuel me, my movements becoming sultrier.<br /> I don't look away. Not the entire time. I stare directly into his eyes, watching the smile slowly fade from his face. I'm not letting him win, not even as I'm stripped down in front of all of these people.<br /> I don't care, and it is driving him absolutely mad. | Red113 | 16 | https://facebook.com/61554938783328 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Instantly, my muscles all revolted against that idea. My entire body was sore, but my core made sure to remind me that it'd taken a beating the night before. I wiped my eyes and sat up, unsure of where I was for a moment. Until I looked around. There were toned and undressed hips all around me. I smiled to myself as I captured the image in my mind for rainy days in my future. Mack, Jones, and Xavier were all tangled in the different blankets they'd brought with them to bed the night before. Earlier that morning, really.<br /> The back of the tour bus was a bedroom, fitted with one massive bed that took up the entire room. The normal tour bus accommodations existed between the bathroom and large bedroom, but no one had volunteered to sleep in their usual bed. They'd each found a way to wrap around me in the big bed and didn't miss the chance to take me once more before we passed out for good.<br /> ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ<br /> Layla<br /> "Oh, yeah! Eat me, Matty!" The woman screaming for my boyfriend was the lead singer of a moderately popular band called The Homewreckers. It was an aptly named band, apparently. Of course, she sounded amazing as she screamed. I always felt like a choking chimpanzee when I came out loud.<br /> I stood in the doorway of The Homewreckers' dressing room and took a deep breath. Unfortunately, it was scented with weed. "Hey, Matthew?"<br /> Matthew, who'd always told me he hated being called Matty, yanked his head out of Miriam Dark's private part and spun around to face me. It was almost comical how fast he spun and how wide his eyes were. He was white collar handsome. His hair was always perfectly cut, his eyebrows were never too long or bushy, and he shaved his face twice a day. He had nice blue eyes and a nice smile. Nice body, nice manhood, nice guy. Well, maybe not a nice guy. After all, his face was covered in another woman's private partl fluids.<br /> "Layla! What are you doing here?" He climbed to his feet and I watched in disgust as he shoved his flaccid manhood back into his nice dress pants. Then, as an afterthought, he wiped his face and stumbled closer to me. "This isn't..."<br /> I rolled my eyes. "It isn't what it looks like? God, Matthew, at least be original."<br /> Miriam took her time closing her legs and gently patted Matthew's shoulder. "Are we done here, Matty? Or do you think you'll be finished soon and want to finish here?"<br /> Laughing, I rolled my shoulders and leveled a hard stare at Matty. "We're done. Whatever we had is over, so feel free to finish playtime with whoever and whatever. I'm on vacation for a few days, so don't call me."<br /> He rushed after me and grabbed my arm. "Wait a second, Layla. I'm sorry. I messed up. Just give me a second to explain."<br /> I yanked my arm free and scowled at him. "Don't touch me."<br /> "Come on, Layla. Don't be like this. Talk to me. I feel terrible." He tried to take my hand again. "Please, baby."<br /> I wasn't going to let him see that I was upset. He didn't deserve that. Instead, I stepped away from him and snarled. "Touch me and I'll break every one of your fingers, Matty. Go and finish sleeping with your client. I believe she's still waiting."<br /> "Jesus. You work for me, Layla! How do you think this is going to go?"<br /> I backed away from him. "I think it's going to go just fine. Like I said, I'm on vacation. Don't call me. Don't message me. Don't think about me. As my ex-boyfriend or my boss."<br /> " Maybe not you, the perfect Layla.You have to accept that." He followed me. "I know that. I shouldn't have started anything with Miriam, but when I'm on the road with the band, it's hard. I miss you and she's there."<br /> My heart hardened and I took a deep breath. "How long have you been sleeping with her?"<br /> He swallowed so hard I saw his Adam's apple bobble. "Come on, Layla. None of this will matter. I'll stop. I'll stop and we can get engaged. You want that, right?"<br /> I gagged. "Ew, Matthew. There's not a chance that I'm getting engaged to you! I'd rather stick my papilla in a truck winch and turn it on."<br /> Miriam sauntered out of her dressing room topless and looked me over. "We've been slept for a year. Matty eats private part like a champ."<br /> A real smile stretched my lips. "Now I know you're full of foolish talk. He might get an climax, but a champ? Hardly. Anyway, enjoy him. I hope him not having a girlfriend doesn't ruin your lady boner."<br /> "Miriam, go back inside! Layla, just stop and talk to me!"<br /> Miriam and I both answered Matthew in unison. <br /> I looked at her and shrugged. "Maybe you're not all bad."<br /> Without waiting for either of them to say anything else, I turned around and walked away, ignoring Matthew as he called my name. Eventually he stopped and I walked faster. I needed to get out of there before I cried. I wasn't about to cry backstage at a music festival. Someone would probably jump out and tit punch me as some anti-crying ritual.<br /> As I walked faster, I couldn't fight the way my eyes filled with tears. No matter how lackluster Matthew was, I'd devoted years of my life to him. I'd just wasted my vacation time on him, too. I thought sneaking out to meet him on the road would be fun and lend some much needed excitement to our relationship. Things hadn't been good...ever...but I'd hoped that we could at least get back to a place where I didn't dread seeing him at work every day.<br /> I wiped at my eyes and felt the mascara I'd coated my eyelashes with earlier. Stupid. I swore and stomped my way farther away from Matthew and the ugly end of our relationship. The image of his hip in the air while he happily ate Miriam Dark's hoo-hah like a pig in slop would forever be burned into my memory.<br /> I couldn't wait to get back home to my apartment and destroy everything of Matthew's that he'd left behind. I needed to update my social media. I didn't do much on it anymore, but I couldn't stand the idea of people thinking I was still with the loser. I'd have to call Grandma. That thought made me want to sob. She hated Matthew, but she liked that I wasn't alone in LA. Knowing I was single again was going to worry her. And if she told Jagger, my older brother, about me being single, Jagger would call and demand to know what'd happened. Then, he would try to fly out and kick Matthew's hip. It was just a mess.<br /> Growling out a frustrated sound, I looked down to make sure I stepped over a big mess of cords. I couldn't believe someone had left the stage like that. It was a hazard. Not to mention, it would be so easy to show if someone tripped over the wrong cord.<br /> I should've been paying attention because when the crowd's wild cheering broke through my self-pitying stupor, I looked up to see how close I'd gotten to the main stage. Unfortunately, a man with a guitar was coming off the stage, looking back at another man behind him. I was moving too fast to stop in time and he wasn't looking. It happened so fast that I didn't even make a sound as I smacked right into the man and felt pain before bouncing off his hard body and going down hard. Those tangled cords.<br /> I heard a deep voice growl above me, but I reached up to feel my forehead and felt something wet. I knew my eyes went as wide as softballs and when I pulled my fingers down and saw red, I groaned. Blood was my kryptonite. My vision darkened and I gagged on my way down.<br /> <br /> Mack<br /> "Well." By the time I realized what was happening, the curvy brunette was flat on the ground. I dropped to my knees next to her and swore when I saw the blood on her forehead. "This is a new form of falling for me."<br /> Xavier squatted on her other side and frowned. "Not really a great time for joking. You knocked her out."<br /> Jones sighed and ran his hands through his hair. "Where'd she come from? Also, maybe look where you're going from now on. You ran the poor thing over. Big time."<br /> I brushed her hair out of her face and had a completely ridiculous moment of feeling like I was staring down at Sleeping Beauty. She was gorgeous. I gently patted her soft cheek. "Ma'am? Hello?"<br /> "Great work. She's jumping right to life." Jones looked over his shoulder. "You've got about thirty seconds to get her on her feet and out of the way before the crowd beats back security and runs back here."<br /> I could hear the commotion he was hearing and ground my teeth. We'd just come off an amazing show. I had planned on going to a bar and getting hammered. Taking care of a Disney princess hadn't been in my plans, but it didn't look like I had an option. I couldn't just leave her on the ground and I didn't know any of the stage hands enough to trust them with an unconscious woman.<br /> "Fine." I stood up and lifted her body over my shoulder. Her head and arms hung limply and bounced off my hip, but I figured it was better for her than getting trampled to death. "Let's get her to our bus and get the medics to check her out. She'll be safe there until she can wake up and go."<br /> Xavier nodded once and charged ahead, clearing a path. He was a giant of a man and no one was dumb enough to stay in his way. They didn't understand what a gentle soul he was. I was thankful for that when they jumped out of our way, though. Especially with a crowd of rabid fans chasing after us.<br /> Jones barked at security to make sure no one followed us out into the artist lot and slammed the heavy metal door shut behind us. He swore and scowled at the door like it was the problem. "What do we even pay security for if they can't keep people away?"<br /> The woman over my shoulder groaned and grabbed my hips. I waited to see if she would say anything else, but she didn't. Her arms fell limp again and I released a breath at not having her scream and freak out while dangling over my shoulder.<br /> "I'll call the medic." Xavier hurried ahead to the bus.<br /> "This puts a damper on my plans." I sighed and glanced over at Jones. "We put on a good show and I was planning on drinking my face off to celebrate."<br /> "The medics are quick. We'll get her taken care of, apologize, and then send her on her way. With the medics, hopefully." He ran his eyes over the full hip over my shoulder. "Too bad you knocked her out before seeing if she wanted to drink with us."<br /> I laughed. "She sure is pretty. I doubt she'll be in a forgiving mood, though. I should've been looking at where I was going."<br /> "Why change now? Forget what I said earlier. We're in our forties. Let's not waste our time. Old dogs and new tricks, you know." He reached the bus before me and opened the door. "You put your guitar down."<br /> I winced. "I'll send a text to Shane as soon as I put her down."<br /> "I'll do it now. They're going to have to chase down whatever fan saw it and took it, probably. I highly doubt it's still sitting where you left it."<br /> I didn't want to think about my baby being in someone else's hands so instead, I focused on the woman in my arms. I climbed the steps and entered the bus, letting the cool AC wash over my overheated skin. The first space on the bus was a living room with four comfortable couches and I eased the unconscious woman down on one of them.<br /> Stretched out on the couch, her curves were even more noticeable. She was wearing tight black jeans and a low-cut top that was black and mostly straps and lace. I didn't get it, but I liked it. It was bad for me to notice her body, but the top curves of her breasts were spilling out of the shirt deliciously.<br /> I forced my eyes to her forehead and frowned. The cut was definitely from my baby. It looked like either a cord or a corner of my guitar had hit her just perfectly to leave a small cut. The skin around the cut didn't look too angry and overall, she looked okay. Besides being unconscious. I ran my hands under the back of her head and felt around to see if I found a lump from her hitting her head on the ground, but there was nothing.<br /> "The medics are tied up at another stage." Xavier growled in frustration and stared down at the woman. "Cut looks fine. Anything along the back of her head?"<br /> I shook my head. "No. She seems fine, honestly."<br /> "I don't like that she passed out." He sat down across from her and rested his elbows on his knees. "Go ahead and shower. I'll watch over her until you're back."<br /> Xavier, Jones, and I had served in the military together. We'd each done enough time to know how to take care of basic medical emergencies and several other things we'd never need in civilian life. It'd been a long time since any of us had to do first-aid in the field, but we could still hold our own.<br /> "Sure. I'll be fast." I winced. "I'm the one who plowed her over. I should be the one that has to explain it."<br /> I showered as fast as possible in the small bus bathroom but I still wasn't fast enough. By the time I shut the water off, I could already hear a husky female voice I didn't recognize ranting away. I wrapped a towel around myself and rushed out to apologize and get her to stop chewing out Jones and Xavier.<br /> What I found wasn't her chewing them out, though. She was pacing back and forth in front of where they sat on their own couches with her hands on her hips and fury on her face. She wasn't angry at us, though. Nope. It seemed another man had pissed in her cereal that morning.<br /> "This is just the cherry on the cake. Why not get a scar to memorialize the day I walked in on my boyfriend cheating on me? I'm so angry I could punch him in the manhood."<br /> I swear all three of us males cringed. I also had to rearrange my thinking. She was no Disney princess. She had spunk, to say the least.<br /> "She had the nerve to brag about his oral skills. Please. I literally have had better climaxs humping my hand. Either her needs are rock bottom, which is great for her if that's the case, or she was just lying to try to hurt me. I'm embarrassed, sure! It's not everyday you walk in on your boyfriend motorboating Miriam Dark's private part lips, but whatever. I'm just pissed. I came all the way here. I shaved. I put lotion on every inch of my body. Even the backs of my knees. Did I care that they're going to get sweaty faster now? Nope. I wanted to be smooth."<br /> I leaned against the doorway and let myself really look at her. She was taller than I'd thought and had legs that stretched on for miles. The black jeans hugged her full hip and hips in a way that made my mouth water. Her waist clipped in just enough that my hands would fit in the notch perfectly if I was taking her from behind. Her shirt made her full breasts look even more delicious while she was standing and I was at half-mast almost immediately.<br /> Her body, as stunning as it was, nearly touched on the beauty that was her face. Her big blue eyes were surrounded by dark eyelashes and her pouty mouth was stained red. She had dark brown hair down to her shoulders that curled wildly. If she hadn't been swearing, her creamy skin would've really made her look like a Disney princess. She could've probably gone down to Florida and got a job playing one of them right then. I'd never been attracted to a Disney princess before, though.<br /> "And you want to know the worst part? I work for the stupid prick. And no, before anyone has the jackass assumption that I'm sleeping my way into my position, I'm not. I'm better at his job than he is and I've been sticking around for even longer than I should've because he kept promising that he'd put in a good word with his boss for me. Because I deserve it. I do his work. I can't remember the last time he's had to do a single thing. At least he chose to sleep with Miriam himself. Although, I'm pretty sure I'd be better at that, too."<br /> Jones snorted and held up his hands when the little firecracker spun on him. "I'm not disagreeing with you, honey. I'm just enjoying hearing you eviscerate this manhoodhead."<br /> She stared at him and slowly her face darkened and she brought her hand up to cover her mouth. She looked absolutely distressed and I hated it.<br /> "What's wrong?" I made myself known and was rewarded with watching her eyes trail down my chest. The way her eyes got all bedroom heavy and she licked her lips turned that almost solid shaft into a full blown shaft. I had to shift to hide it from her curious eyes.<br /> She glanced back at Jones and then at Xavier. "Oh."<br /> Xavier stood up and inched towards her. "Are you okay? Your head... Is it hurting?"<br /> She looked up at him and I saw the way her body naturally swayed towards my giant of a best friend. Something about that made me want to hug her. Some women treated Xavier and his size like a threat and it hurt him. "Oh. I can't believe I didn't realize before now. You're JAX."<br /> Jones sighed and nodded. "Yep."<br /> She pushed her curls back from her face. "Don't worry. I'm not going to fangirl. I'm just mortified. I work for your record label and this is now the most unprofessional vacation I've ever taken. I have to go. Can you just forget you ever saw me?" | Libb002 | 48 | https://facebook.com/61551403614101 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

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. 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.

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! | What2628-eng | 79 | https://facebook.com/100093514056404 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | 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. | Cha112 | 52 | https://facebook.com/61554217282088 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

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." | ForFun-120 | 72 | https://facebook.com/61554751622817 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

"You're too hot, babe. This first time is going to be way too quick, but I'll make it up to you, okay? I'll have you screaming my name all night Casey"<br /> Casey?<br /> He thought I was Casey.<br /> Tears flooded down my face at my naรฏve stupidity and humiliation.<br /> ____________<br /> <br /> The unthinkable had happened.<br /> Wren had noticed me.<br /> I'd been pining after him for four years, since I was fifteen, and his lopsided grin sent my stomach flooding with butterflies. I don't know what had changed, but I wasn't about to question it. My heart thumped in my chest as he walked me towards his bed, his hands busy at the buttons of my dress. He hadn't even looked at me, barely spoke to me, and I could smell the whiskey on his breath. Despite that, I was here. I squeaked as I landed with my back on the bed, Wren's weight pushing me further into the mattress. I wrapped my legs around him, glorying in the feeling of his lips on my neck and his hand sliding under my bra. My tongue was in knots in my mouth. There were no words to describe the heightened sensation of being so close to Wren right now. His stubble scraped my neck, and I swallowed a whimper.<br /> I'd dreamed about this moment for years, never, ever thinking I would get a chance. He'd always seemed blinded by my cousin Casey, and I couldn't blame him. Casey was vivacious and fiery. Her long blonde hair was identical to mine but combined with her gorgeous face and vibrant personality? There wasn't any space for people to notice me. Especially not the man who I had wanted the most. Wren was quieter than most of the members of Sleepless Knights MC, and I'd always been drawn to his intense presence, noticeable even when he wasn't saying a word. He was 24 but he fit in more with the old fellas of the club, shooting the piss with them, content to drink and soak up the vibes, rather than party hard like the members his age. I'd felt lucky just being his friend. He was my movie buddy, both of us loving the big screen. I soaked up every lick of the attention he gave me, knowing it wasn't anything but friendship on his end. Did it hurt when he took some of the club girls to his room? Absolutely, but he didn't owe me anything, and I had hoped this crush would fade in time. But it only grew and when Wren started hanging around Casey, like a dog begging for a scrap? I felt like my heart would shatter. But at the family gathering tonight, he'd approached me. I was washing up dishes in the kitchen when he'd pressed against me, growling in my ear and inviting me into his bed. I had frozen, too scared to respond. He'd stuck his nose in my hair, free from it's bun for once. I'd nodded, still too scared to even look at him, to realize this wasn't a dream.<br /> Back in the present and on the bed, I moaned as he nipped my papilla through my bra, his hands sliding up my thighs to inch down my panties. The room was murky black, and through the veil of darkness I felt wanton for the first time. Wren turned me over, so I was on my hands and knees, his fingers touching every inch of me.<br /> "I've imagined this so many times," he said huskily, pushing my dress up over my hip and settling behind me. My lungs seized as he ran his shaft down the wet slit of my private part. He'd thought about sleeping me? Had he wanted me to? My heart swelled with the thought of Wren desiring me.<br /> "I'm about to bust," he muttered hurriedly. "You're too hot, babe. This first time is going to be way too quick, but I'll make it up to you, okay? I'll have you screaming my name all night Casey"<br /> Casey?<br /> The searing stab of realization strangled my chest as Wren thrust inside me. The emotional and physical pain sent my hands folding and my front half collapsed on the bed. I gasped in agony as Wren pounded into me, taking my first time like a rutting animal. I squeezed my eyes shut, biting my tongue so hard that the taste of iron flooded my mouth.<br /> He thought I was Casey.<br /> Tears flooded down my face at my naรฏve stupidity and humiliation.<br /> "Christ, babe, you feel like heaven. Never had a private part this tight before," Wren panted, picking up the pace of his thrust. Each move of his hips sent a wave of pain through me. I'd been wet, but not enough to take a shaft for the first time. If there was a inferno, I was surely in it, burning to a crisp. Wren groaned behind me, slamming his hips against me as he came. I felt his release flood my insides and sobbed once more. He wasn't even wearing protection? I wasn't on birth control. What if I got pregnant? A myriad of thoughts were racing through my mind when Wren pulled out of me unceremoniously and flipped on the light. I didn't want to move. I knew I was about to be even more humiliated than I thought possible. But Wren took the decision from my hands when Wren swore.<br /> "Did I hurt you, Casey? There's blood on my shaft" He raced over to me, and I turned to look at him, my eyes blurry with tears.<br /> "It's not Casey," I whispered miserably, wanting to sink through the hole in the floor. The high climb I made when I thought Wren had wanted me back was turning into a careening descent to the ground. I wiped my face, pulling my dress to cover my aching body. It felt like I was bruising on the inside. Wren's face warped in horror and he spun around, grabbing his jeans and shoving them on like he didn't want me to see his body.<br /> "Taylor? What the heck? Oh my god this can't be happening to me," he moaned, pacing in front of me. I curled over, his blatant disgust carving out my heart a little more. "I-I-I didn't know it was you," he slurred. Looking at him now, it was obvious he was trashed. His eyes were red rimmed and glazed.<br /> "That was obvious, when you called me another woman's name," I said through gritted teeth, my arm banding around my stomach to stem to nausea I was feeling. I couldn't say Casey. I would dissolve into a puddle of tears. Wren was tugging on his sandy hair in frustration, looking at the floor.<br /> "I thought you were Casey" he mumbled before directing an accusing look at me "You never wear your hair down. I was confused and drunk! I just assumed, with her beautiful long hairโ" he bit off with a hiss through his teeth, oblivious to the way his words were further destroying me. He'd thought I was Casey because I had my hair down for once? "This never should have happened, god, I would never have touched you if I realized it was you"<br /> I grunted at the blow, hurt, but he kept speaking.<br /> "You can't tell Casey about this alright? I don't want to ruin my chances with her and if she knows I have intercourse with her cousin, she'll be furious"<br /> I swallowed the bile that rose in my throat, never feeling so low and disgusting in all my life. At least no-one else would know about this mortifying experience.<br /> "I-I won't say anything," I said finally, and Wren blew out a relieved sigh. He gave me a tremulous, lopsided smile, and I wanted to disappear.<br /> "Good, great, we'll just pretend this never happened. It was a mistake, obviously."<br /> Obviously.<br /> Having intercourse with me was a mistake, never to be repeated, never to be spoken of again. I couldn't answer, my throat too tight. Wren kneeled in front of me, his fingers tentatively pulling my dress together. His fingers were shaking. God, he reeked of whiskey. I had a moment of hope that perhaps he wouldn't remember this in the morning.<br /> "It'd be best if you left, before anyone notices. Hopefully, no-one heard anything," he murmured, wincing as I stared at him in disbelief. He'd took my first time away, thinking I was my cousin and now he knew it wasn't he was tossing me out before anyone could see his colossal mistake. I could see the red rims around his eyes. He still looked handsome, even disheveled, like he was. I moved, my face crumpling as pain shot through me.<br /> "Can I clean up first?" I said, in a small voice that I didn't recognize. He leaped to his feet, looking chagrined.<br /> "Oh yeah, ahhh" he darted over to the chest of drawers and pulled out some wet wipes. He proffered them with an awkward look. "Will these do?" he asked.<br /> I nodded wordlessly, taking the wipes with a limp hand. I paused as I drew them to the smeared blood on my inner thigh. I shot Wren a dark look.<br /> "Can I have some privacy? I'll let myself out," I said.<br /> "Of course, yeah, better if I come out on my own" he rubbed the back of his neck and snagged his shirt from the ground. His fingers lingered on the doorknob.<br /> "Taylor, you were a virgin, weren't you?" he whispered, almost like he didn't want the answer. I blinked my eyes, forcing the tears that gathered to fall onto the ruined material of my dress.<br /> "What does it matter" I muttered and scrubbed. The sound of the door opening and snicking closed was like a clap in my ears. Another rejection. God, I wanted to crawl out of my skin, to escape this messy room and go back to when I had thought Wren was a guy worthy of my crush. But as I wiped up the mess Wren had left, I knew it was a lie. I wasn't enough for him. I might have had hair like Casey but that was it. But Wren wasn't good enough for me either, and I would never let myself feel this way again.<br /> <br /> One Month Later<br /> I was working behind the bar on a Friday night, things were getting rowdy. I angled my body so I wouldn't have to look in the corner where I knew Wren, or rather Wings, was. I had to stop thinking of him as anything but his road name. Whatever love I felt for him had been crushed to death under the grinding heel of his rejection. I wasn't going to embarrass myself further, even though the wound was still healing. <br /> I knew that if I looked over, I would see Casey was sitting on his lap and I could hear her melodic laugh filtering through the raucous room. She'd asked me to cover her shift again, because she felt sick but still had the nerve to show up here and pretend like she had miraculously recovered. <br /> They looked good together and Wings sure seemed happy. He got what he wanted in the end, the girl he'd imagined so many times. I was getting there, every day I felt a little better. Big part of that had to do with Jade. The new club girl who helped behind the bar and had burst into my life at almost the same time as Wings had obliterated me. She'd seen me where no-one else had ever noticed me. <br /> She stuck to me like a barnacle, not accepting that I wanted space to wallow and sink further into disgust. She made me laugh; she dragged me out of the club, and she seemed to see straight through the walls I was determined to put up. If I hadn't had Jade, I don't know what I would do. She shot me a wink from the other side of the bar, shaking her hip as she polished a glass.<br /> "Come on, Tay, let me see that tush jiggle!" she hollered over to me, sending some guys at the bar into hoots of laughter. I wasn't like that. I didn't dance like no-one was watching. I didn't dance at all. A flare of rebellion fired through me, making my spine snap straight in defiance. Everyone in this bar, besides Jade and maybe my Aunty Coral, thought of me as this timid, withdrawn girl. Not worth looking at, not worth any time at all. I placed the pint I'd been pouring on the bar and lifted my hand to my tightly wound hair. I glared at Jade, shaking my head as she whooped and hollered, encouraging me. My long blonde hair tumbled around my shoulders. I flipped my head back, letting it fall out like a fan before bracing myself on the sink and grinding down to the floor.<br /> Jade fanned herself, racing over to circle her arms around my waist. I let the laughter that bubbled up spill out, and Jade gave me a hard smack to my hip. "You show em girl," she whispered in my ear, laughing huskily. Jade didn't know what had happened to me, but she'd been there a week ago when I got my period. An intense mixture of relief and rage, that he had reduced me to this. I'd cried in her arms, words escaping me. While Wings was curled up with Casey in his room, it reminded again me of that horrific night. A throat cleared behind us.<br /> "What's it take to get a drink around here" teased a familiar voice. I stiffened, and Jade let go of me, her eyes narrowing slightly. She didn't know what had happened between Wings and me, but she had made assumptions. I hadn't told anyone a word about what had happened, and I never would. It was hard enough that I had to see his face almost every day. His green eyes creased as he aimed that lopsided smile my way. My heart flipped at the sight of it, sickeningly weak even after his utter ravaging.<br /> "What can I getcha Wings?" I said, knowing he wanted a whiskey, but refusing to get it for him without him asking, like I had in the past. I wasn't his girl, and we weren't friends. I needed to stop catering for him in any small way. He had to become like all the other guys in the club, unable to affect me. His throat bobbed and forehead creased, the smile faltering just a little before turning full wattage.<br /> "Aw Tay, it's weird hearing you call me by my road name," he huffed a laugh, surprised I didn't join in. I folded my arms and raised my eyebrow. What had happened between us had destroyed any semblance of friendship between us, but it seemed like Wings didn't get it. The last month he'd tried to talk to me like he had in the past, like he hadn't irrevocably changed me, destroyed me.<br /> "Jeez Wings, what else would she call you?" Casey purred as she slid in beside him. She looked so beautiful tonight. Her long hair was sleek down her back. She winked a big blue eye at me. Wings startled, coughing and stuttering. I rolled my eyes, pouring out the whiskey I knew he wanted and a shot of spirits for Casey. Anything to get this awkward encounter over.<br /> "You should wear your hair down more often, Tay," Casey said, wincing as she slammed the empty shot glass back on the bar. "It makes you look like my twin! These bikers might take an interest"<br /> Casey gave me a wide smile, unaware that her words were like a gut punch. I felt Wings boring a hole into the side of my face. His intense gaze brought heat to my cheeks, and I gathered my hair up, winding it into a tight bun on my head.<br /> "There's only one Casey, cuz, I'm a cheap imitation," I said, my mouth filled with bitterness.<br /> Casey laughed like I'd said a joke, and Jade elbowed me in the side as she passed me.<br /> "I heard that," she hissed. "Don't be talking something bad about my best friend," she added.<br /> "That ninja franchise you like has a new movie out, going to go see it tomorrow." Wings said gruffly, and I cursed him. Why did he have to keep pushing this? He'd invited me to the movies with him a few weeks ago and I hadn't even answered, turning on my heel and walking away. How could he think I would want to spend one second around him after what he did?<br /> "Hope you guys enjoy it," I said, flicking a look at him for a brief second. It was all I could handle, and I was reaching my limit. Interactions with Wings had to be few and far in between and short. Too much and I felt like my chest was going to cave in.<br /> "I'm not seeing a movie on a Saturday night, Wings," Casey admonished him, smacking him lightly with her hand. "You'd think you were an old man. You should go with him, Taylor. You love that, right?"<br /> "No!" I blurted out, my cheeks flushing even redder as Casey eyed me strangely. I didn't look at Wings, but I could feel the burn of his stare again. "I've got plans," I added quickly.<br /> I didn't, but I would have to find something to do now.<br /> "Yeah? What are you up to?" Casey said, sounding suspicious. She knew I preferred to stay home, chill on my down time. I lived with my uncle and my bedroom was across from hers, so she knew exactly if I was lying. I looked down at the end of the bar, but there was no-one waiting on a drink and I had to think of something. There was no way I was going to the movies with Wings. I never would again.<br /> "We're going dancing, ain't that right, Tay?" Jade said, bumping her hip with mine.<br /> Casey perked up, a glint of excitement entering her eyes. I chanced a glance at Wings and saw he was tense, his hands curled into fists on the bar.<br /> "Where?" he said. "You could dance here" he motioned to the group of club girls who were gyrating in the corner to an audience of bikers.<br /> "Think the club girls would be jealous seeing Tay dolled up like they are," Jade laughed, pointing at Mina with her tiny bralette and short denim shorts.<br /> "Tay'd never wear something like that," Wings scoffed, and I clenched my jaw as Casey agreed with him. "She's too vanilla," Casey added, matter-of-fact and without a lick of malice. She truly thought that was what I was, a boring, cheaper version of her. And I was. Swathed in an oversized hoodie and boyfriend jeans. I'd dressed for comfort, and out of habit. <br /> After Wings had swiped through my meagre self confidence, I'd backslid into the shadows, doing whatever I could to keep anyone from seeing me. They'd see nothing worthwhile anyway, so why try? Trying got you covered in releasing and blood on the bed of someone who gagged at the sight of you.<br /> "Can you check the storeroom? I think we need another case of beers soon," Jade said casually, as I stood there, melting in self-loathing. Vanilla, boring, and forgettable. That was the Taylor Ambor they knew, but as I took the out Jade offered, I felt that hard rod of resolve unfurl down my spine as I walked away. I didn't have to be that person they'd allotted me. I was more than their shallow opinions of me.<br /> Why did I work at this MC when I was old enough to do my own thing? Habit and fear, and until a month ago it had been worth the crumbs Wings would inadvertently sprinkle on me. The lopsided smiles would light my whole day up, especially if he'd talked to me. The times we'd gone to the movies? That was like mainlining a hard dope. I would smile like a doped-out fiend for a week after that.<br /> It was sad.<br /> I was depressing. I was wasting my time here. I leaned on the shelves and blew out a deep breath.<br /> It was time to make some big changes. | Ory004 | 5 | https://facebook.com/61554098218435 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Kayan<br /> I was betrayed by two people I trusted implicitly, my best friend and my fiancรฉ, or so i thought.<br /> Without saying a word, I bent down and picked up my phone. By this time Dimitri had donned his boxers and his slim fit navy dress pants. Mariana on the other hand was gripping the white sheet, trying to cover her body and was sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> Normally her tears would have stirred some sort of emotion but I felt absolutely nothing looking at her.<br /> Dimitri stepped towards me with his outstretched hand but I stepped back, and when I spoke my own voice surprised me.<br /> Two words, " How long?". I stared at both of them expectantly. Dimitri sighed and rubbed his face, looking at me with regret.<br /> When no response was forthcoming from him, I turned to Mariana and pinned her with a glare. " Shut up Mariana! I asked a question and I need an answer now!" I shouted.<br /> She pulled her knees to her chest as her body shook in fear, she had only seen me angry once so she knew not to taunt me. Dimitri on the other hand, was stunned.<br /> She looked at me and stuttered in fear " S....si...six months", and hung her head low. I absorbed her reply, laughed hysterically, which caught both of them by surprise. They looked at each other shrugging their shoulders and just as I started laughing suddenly, I stopped abruptly.<br /> "Six months you say? I guess this is the part where you'll say it was a mistake, you never meant to hurt me and you're both sorry right?." I spoke calmly, surprising myself.<br /> Dimitri was first to speak " Kay, please I'm so sorry. We were both tipsy after your work anniversary party,and after I dropped her off, everything went to terrible. I'm so sorry baby but..." I laughed again, cutting him off mid sentence.<br /> I held my hand up then turned to Mariana" What about you bimbo, any last words?" Her eyes bulged in fear and I watched her squirm in fear. She knew I could put a bullet between her eyes even with my eyes closed , thanks to my Dad taking me to the pistol range every Saturday for 2 years.<br /> She sprung to her knees, the sheet fell exposing her and I saw all the hickeys along her neck and on her breasts. "Kay please, let's talk about this. I'm so sorry and I regret this. I'm so sorry for hurting you like this, it wasn't planned."<br /> The nerve of this woman, I thought. I should have listened to my gut all those months ago. She kept thwarting our plans, started traveling a lot and would barely take my video calls then. And she kept changing or bashing my wedding plans and like a fool, I brushed it aside.<br /> Dimitri was the same, one business trip after another, late nights and then he was distant. When I asked him about it, he promised to do better than what he did, but there was a subtle change. We no longer have sleep.<br /> Both of them looked at me expectantly, waiting for the weak, docile Kayan to shed tears and assure them everything would be okay.<br /> I dropped my phone into my bag, grabbed my pistol and clicked the safety off. I swiftly fired two rounds which were followed by agonizing screams. I shot Dimitri in his thigh just inches from his shaft while Mariana got hers in her right shoulder. Just enough to cause pain but not be fatal.<br /> I walked out the room but turned to them saying " That's for the betrayal, I never want to see or hear from either of you again. The next time you won't be so lucky."<br /> I descended the stairs shakily, I touched my face checking for tears but there were none. My chest was convulsing but I refused to give in to the pain I was feeling.<br /> As I got to the last step, I looked around, marched over to the fireplace and threw all photos she had of us together into it. I lifted the stoker, broke her 60" Samsung TV and everything went red from thereon. I trashed her apartment then walked out as if nothing happened.<br /> I grabbed my baseball bat from my trunk, smashed all her windows and doors. Just as I about to leave, I saw Dimitri's Silver Range Rover across the street.<br /> How didn't I notice it before?<br /> I walked up to it and repeated my actions. When I was satisfied, I hopped into my van and drove away.<br /> ---- <br /> Dimitri<br /> I couldn't believe Kayan shot us and simply walked away. I had known her for over 6 years but I never encountered this side of her. I knew I deserved that, worst of all, I ruined the one good thing I had done.<br /> I was thinking with my shaft and not my brain, because in assessing the current situation, Mariana was just a good woman. There is attraction, but the feelings I have for Kayan are deeper.<br /> Her sobs reverberated around the bedroom , bringing me back to the current situation.<br /> When Kayan left the room, I heard her trashing Mariana's apartment downstairs and was about to go after her.<br /> Mariana's words stopped me dead in my tracks, "Leave her be, Dimitri, she will kill you! She needs to calm down first before we approach her." I turned to her slowly, trying to ignore the pain and blood gushing from my wound.<br /> "What do you mean Mari? I'm going after her! There is no us. This was a mistake. I need to talk to her!" I ran my hands over my face then slid my belt around my leg making a tourniquet.<br /> She slid off the bed, gripping the sheet with her uninjured shoulder. " Take it from me, we're lucky to be alive! You have never seen her upset or know what she's capable of in this state but I do!" She tiptoed to the door listening for any further sound from downstairs, but was greeted with silence.<br /> Mariana sat on the stairs shaking and crying while gripping her disheveled hair.<br /> The front door was ajar, I moved to lock it but the sight of Mariana's car took my breath away. I looked across the street to mine and it looked even worst.<br /> I shook my head, sighed and turned too quickly, causing a searing pain in the bullet wound.<br /> I called my driver Michael and told him to be quick and discreet.<br /> Mariana got dressed in the meantime while we waited with bated breaths.<br /> Michael arrived in about 10 minutes, his eyes expressed shock but he knew better than to ask any questions.<br /> He drove us to Wyckoff Medical, the only place I knew would be discreet about what happened.<br /> Using the back entrance, we were quickly ushered into separate rooms for assessment.<br /> As I laid on the bed, I felt Dr. Green prodding my wound for the bullet. He's been our family physician since I was a child, so when he asked who I pissed off this time , I sighed and ignored him.<br /> All I could think about was Kayan, she was my everything!<br /> Not anymore you prick, you screwed up and you're lucky to be alive, I shook my head, trying to shake guilt ridden thoughts from my subconscious.<br /> I reminisced on all the times we spent together, the plans we made for our future and our kids. I reflected on how she supported me even when my own father doubted me. She never gave up on me. You shut up Dimitri!<br /> Dr. Green waved his hand above my eyes while calling my name. " Did you hear anything I said just now?" he asked quietly.<br /> I sighed " No, what is it?". My tone was clipped but right now I didn't care, I could apologize later.<br /> He rolled his eyes before continuing "I said there's a detective waiting outside to talk to you, you know it's my duty to report this." He grabbed a scissors and cut the thread, signaling that he had finished stitching my wound.<br /> "You'll live, but stay off your feet for a few days, and use a crutch if you have to move around." Dr. Green bandaged my leg and was about to leave when I stopped him.<br /> "Wait, I apologize for my behavior Doc. Where's the young lady who came in with me? I need to see her now." He looked at me sadly, shook his head and left the room without a word.<br /> My guess is he figured out why Kayan hadn't rushed into the hospital demanding answers. The realization hit me of how I not only disappointed Kayan but everyone close to me, especially my parents. <br /> I must have dosed off from the pain medication I had gotten as I was woken up by Mariana gently shaking my shoulder and calling my name.<br /> Blinking my eyes to adjust to the bright lights, I grabbed the remote and adjusted my bed. Mariana looked terrible, her hair was unkempt and her eyes were swollen. Her right arm was bandaged and now in a sling.<br /> She sat in the chair beside the bed and hung her head low. " I spoke to the police, I told them we were mugged at the apartment as we were trying to finalize wedding arrangements." It was barely a whisper, but I sighed in relief.<br /> "We messed up but I agree, I'll tell them the same thing. Kayan doesn't deserve this." My throat felt hoarse so I reached for a tumbler with water, poured a cup and took several sips.<br /> " I told you we needed to stop Dimitri but you insisted on coming over!" I pinned her with a glare which caused her to shut up immediately.<br /> The nerve of this woman! I laughed coldly before turning to her " Oh so now it's my fault Mar? Surely you weren't complaining when I rammed your wet dripping private part with my shaft right? You never said stop! Anything else I'm forgetting?" My chest was heaving by the time I finished ranting.<br /> I was about to continue but her sobs erupted. She looked at me lost, guilt etched across her face before she stood to leave.<br /> "Look Mar, I'm sorry okay. I just don't know what to do." I held her wrist, my thumb caressing the inside of her hand in a comforting way. "How did she get in though?"<br /> Mariana was trembling as tears streamed down her face. She took a deep breath before she spoke. "I forgot she had a key from over a year ago. She would always check the place when I traveled for a convention or went to see my family."<br /> My mouth opened to speak but no words were forthcoming and they never came as the door banged open, slamming into the wall denting it.<br /> Jumping with fright, we turned to see my very pissed off father and my distraught mother. Before I could utter a word, he spoke," You, get out now and don't let me see your face again!" Mariana jumped in fear and ran from the room sobbing before I could stop her.<br /> "Dad i can explain...." He slammed his hand onto the small table, knocking the tumbler over.<br /> My mom grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down but he flicked her hand away and grabbed my hospital gown roughly, "Explain what exactly Dimitri? How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> "I'm going to fix this Dad, just give me a chance please." I turned towards my mom seeking support but she turned her head away from me. " Mom, please I'm sorry, I'll fix this. I'm gonna make everything right."<br /> My Dad simply scoffed at my words, took my Mom's hands and walked out the door.<br /> The only sound that filled the room was that of the water droplets bouncing on the floor.<br /> ---- <br /> Mariana<br /> I have never been more regretful in my entire life. My head was throbbing non stop, my eyes were puffy from all the tears I'd shed in the past 24 hours. My mind replayed the events and all I could think of, was that I should be dead by Kayan's hands.<br /> My driver dropped me off to the apartment, and as I stepped inside I once again surveyed the damage. Nothing was left untouched, I had to start over but I guess that's the price to pay for stabbing your best friend in the back for six months.<br /> I wanted to stop so many times, I knew it was wrong but Dimitri was like a spirit I couldn't get enough of.<br /> We decided to take the secret to our graves and everything was going great until I saw him a week later at Danny's Cafe. We sat and talked for a while but after an hour when we attempted to leave, the sexual tension was just too much to ignore.<br /> From thereon, we used our lunch breaks and any free time we could muster to screw each other senseless. After each encounter, we'd say it was the last time , but that never happened as soon after I took trips when he did or he came to my apartment before going home.<br /> All this time, I gave Kayan a million excuses as to why we couldn't meet up, continued planning her wedding virtually and offered excuses when she whined about Dimitri being overly consumed by work.<br /> I even ended things with my own boyfriend as our relationship became strained and miserable because of my infidelity.<br /> Now this is the endgame, I lost my best friend who always stood by me and I'm pretty sure Dimitri and I have no future.<br /> Sitting on the stairs, I decided to take a leap of faith and call Kayan. If I could just get her to listen to me for a second, I would tell her how sorry I am and try to fix things.<br /> As I dialed her number, it went directly to voice-mail, and after trying a few more times unsuccessfully, I decided to go see her. I ordered an Uber, waiting outside for a few minutes before the car pulled up.<br /> I got in, gave the driver her address and stared blankly out the window. The only sounds were that of the music playing in the dashboard.<br /> Ten minutes later, I was standing on the curb outside Kayan's townhouse. Hesitantly, I opened the gate, trudged up the steps and rang the bell. I was there waiting for a few minutes, I called her but there was no response.<br /> I walked to the garden by the lamp post where she always hid a spare key. It was gone.<br /> Just as I was about to step from the yard, I was stopped in my tracks by a faint voice. My hopes increased but when I turned around expecting Kayan, no one was there.<br /> What was that then, I thought to myself.<br /> I reopened the Uber app, placed my request and waited by the curb.<br /> "She's not here you know." I was startled by the voice and was relieved to see her neighbor Michael.<br /> "What do you mean? Where is she?" I asked hurriedly.<br /> He eyed me suspiciously before replying,<br /> "Seeing you here looking like poop tells me you had a role in Kay's sudden departure 2 hours ago." His words were true yet hurtful, I castedmy eyes down in shame.<br /> "You don't know, Mike, just tell me where she went, I need to talk to her before it's too late" I begged him.<br /> The prick was nonchalant as he leant against her gate typing away on his phone. After getting a ping, indicating a message, he looked up at me smirking.<br /> "Well if you must know, my girl left for England indefinitely..." he paused, struggling to hold back a snicker, "...Oh and she says you should go yourself or Dimatro, whatever the pretty boy's name is." Michael was now clutching his side laughing hysterically while I sighed in defeat.<br /> She's gone! And now there's no way I will find her because I can't go to her family and I'm pretty sure she's already changed her number!<br /> I didn't warrant Michael a response since the Uber pulled up, I hopped in and left.<br /> My phone began vibrating in my pocket and I grabbed it quickly, just hoping it would be Kayan. I was disappointed as Dimitri's name flashed on the screen.<br /> "What do you want Dimitri? Haven't we done enough, didn't you hear what your father said?" I shouted angrily, catching sight of the driver's raised brows in the rear view mirror.<br /> "Calm down Mari, I wanted to apologize for my Dad. I'm getting discharged now so I'm heading home, I need to sort things out with Kay." Though I had wanted the same thing minutes ago, I couldn't help the pang of jealousy that gripped me.<br /> Before I could stop myself I snarled in response<br /> "Thanks for asking how I'm doing you prick! Oh and don't bother going there because she's gone!"<br /> "What are you talking about Mari! This is not the time to joke with me..." I'd had enough of his nonsense so I cut him mid sentence " Kay's gone Dimitri, I just left the house, she's not home and her neighbor says she left for England." The other end of the line was silent.<br /> I looked at the screen to see if the call had been disconnected but the line was still open.<br /> "Dimitri?" He sighed in response and I heard him grunt in pain, perhaps moving too quickly on his injured leg.<br /> "I'm here Mari. How will I fix things if I don't know where to find her? Of all the places, she had to chose England!? Couldn't she have just gone to her parents? What am I going to do now?"<br /> I wanted to speak but my throat felt as if it was clogged.<br /> I cut the call, switched to airplane mode and rested my head against the window as fresh salty tears rolled down my cheeks.<br /> I lost everything.<br /> My best friend. Dimitri . And a family who accepted me without judgement and showed me nothing but love all these years. | Wha002 | 29 | https://facebook.com/61554783541379 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Kayan<br /> I was betrayed by two people I trusted implicitly, my best friend and my fiancรฉ, or so i thought.<br /> Without saying a word, I bent down and picked up my phone. By this time Dimitri had donned his boxers and his slim fit navy dress pants. Mariana on the other hand was gripping the white sheet, trying to cover her body and was sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> Normally her tears would have stirred some sort of emotion but I felt absolutely nothing looking at her.<br /> Dimitri stepped towards me with his outstretched hand but I stepped back, and when I spoke my own voice surprised me.<br /> Two words, " How long?". I stared at both of them expectantly. Dimitri sighed and rubbed his face, looking at me with regret.<br /> When no response was forthcoming from him, I turned to Mariana and pinned her with a glare. " Shut up Mariana! I asked a question and I need an answer now!" I shouted.<br /> She pulled her knees to her chest as her body shook in fear, she had only seen me angry once so she knew not to taunt me. Dimitri on the other hand, was stunned.<br /> She looked at me and stuttered in fear " S....si...six months", and hung her head low. I absorbed her reply, laughed hysterically, which caught both of them by surprise. They looked at each other shrugging their shoulders and just as I started laughing suddenly, I stopped abruptly.<br /> "Six months you say? I guess this is the part where you'll say it was a mistake, you never meant to hurt me and you're both sorry right?." I spoke calmly, surprising myself.<br /> Dimitri was first to speak " Kay, please I'm so sorry. We were both tipsy after your work anniversary party,and after I dropped her off, everything went to terrible. I'm so sorry baby but..." I laughed again, cutting him off mid sentence.<br /> I held my hand up then turned to Mariana" What about you bimbo, any last words?" Her eyes bulged in fear and I watched her squirm in fear. She knew I could put a bullet between her eyes even with my eyes closed , thanks to my Dad taking me to the pistol range every Saturday for 2 years.<br /> She sprung to her knees, the sheet fell exposing her and I saw all the hickeys along her neck and on her breasts. "Kay please, let's talk about this. I'm so sorry and I regret this. I'm so sorry for hurting you like this, it wasn't planned."<br /> The nerve of this woman, I thought. I should have listened to my gut all those months ago. She kept thwarting our plans, started traveling a lot and would barely take my video calls then. And she kept changing or bashing my wedding plans and like a fool, I brushed it aside.<br /> Dimitri was the same, one business trip after another, late nights and then he was distant. When I asked him about it, he promised to do better than what he did, but there was a subtle change. We no longer have sleep.<br /> Both of them looked at me expectantly, waiting for the weak, docile Kayan to shed tears and assure them everything would be okay.<br /> I dropped my phone into my bag, grabbed my pistol and clicked the safety off. I swiftly fired two rounds which were followed by agonizing screams. I shot Dimitri in his thigh just inches from his shaft while Mariana got hers in her right shoulder. Just enough to cause pain but not be fatal.<br /> I walked out the room but turned to them saying " That's for the betrayal, I never want to see or hear from either of you again.

Though I had wanted the same thing minutes ago, I couldn't help the pang of jealousy that gripped me.<br /> Before I could stop myself I snarled in response<br /> "Thanks for asking how I'm doing you prick! Oh and don't bother going there because she's gone!"<br /> "What are you talking about Mari! This is not the time to joke with me..." I'd had enough of his nonsense so I cut him mid sentence " Kay's gone Dimitri, I just left the house, she's not home and her neighbor says she left for England." The other end of the line was silent.<br /> I looked at the screen to see if the call had been disconnected but the line was still open.<br /> "Dimitri?" He sighed in response and I heard him grunt in pain, perhaps moving too quickly on his injured leg.<br /> "I'm here Mari. How will I fix things if I don't know where to find her? Of all the places, she had to chose England!? Couldn't she have just gone to her parents? What am I going to do now?"<br /> I wanted to speak but my throat felt as if it was clogged.<br /> I cut the call, switched to airplane mode and rested my head against the window as fresh salty tears rolled down my cheeks.<br /> I lost everything.<br /> My best friend. Dimitri . And a family who accepted me without judgement and showed me nothing but love all these years. | Wha002 | 29 | https://facebook.com/61554783541379 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Kayan<br /> I was betrayed by two people I trusted implicitly, my best friend and my fiancรฉ, or so i thought.<br /> Without saying a word, I bent down and picked up my phone. By this time Dimitri had donned his boxers and his slim fit navy dress pants. Mariana on the other hand was gripping the white sheet, trying to cover her body and was sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> Normally her tears would have stirred some sort of emotion but I felt absolutely nothing looking at her.<br /> Dimitri stepped towards me with his outstretched hand but I stepped back, and when I spoke my own voice surprised me.<br /> Two words, " How long?". I stared at both of them expectantly. Dimitri sighed and rubbed his face, looking at me with regret.<br /> When no response was forthcoming from him, I turned to Mariana and pinned her with a glare. " Shut up Mariana! I asked a question and I need an answer now!" I shouted.<br /> She pulled her knees to her chest as her body shook in fear, she had only seen me angry once so she knew not to taunt me. Dimitri on the other hand, was stunned.<br /> She looked at me and stuttered in fear " S....si...six months", and hung her head low. I absorbed her reply, laughed hysterically, which caught both of them by surprise. They looked at each other shrugging their shoulders and just as I started laughing suddenly, I stopped abruptly.<br /> "Six months you say? I guess this is the part where you'll say it was a mistake, you never meant to hurt me and you're both sorry right?." I spoke calmly, surprising myself.<br /> Dimitri was first to speak " Kay, please I'm so sorry. We were both tipsy after your work anniversary party,and after I dropped her off, everything went to terrible. I'm so sorry baby but..." I laughed again, cutting him off mid sentence.<br /> I held my hand up then turned to Mariana" What about you bimbo, any last words?" Her eyes bulged in fear and I watched her squirm in fear. She knew I could put a bullet between her eyes even with my eyes closed , thanks to my Dad taking me to the pistol range every Saturday for 2 years.<br /> She sprung to her knees, the sheet fell exposing her and I saw all the hickeys along her neck and on her breasts. "Kay please, let's talk about this. I'm so sorry and I regret this. I'm so sorry for hurting you like this, it wasn't planned."<br /> The nerve of this woman, I thought. I should have listened to my gut all those months ago. She kept thwarting our plans, started traveling a lot and would barely take my video calls then. And she kept changing or bashing my wedding plans and like a fool, I brushed it aside.<br /> Dimitri was the same, one business trip after another, late nights and then he was distant. When I asked him about it, he promised to do better than what he did, but there was a subtle change. We no longer have sleep.<br /> Both of them looked at me expectantly, waiting for the weak, docile Kayan to shed tears and assure them everything would be okay.<br /> I dropped my phone into my bag, grabbed my pistol and clicked the safety off. I swiftly fired two rounds which were followed by agonizing screams. I shot Dimitri in his thigh just inches from his shaft while Mariana got hers in her right shoulder. Just enough to cause pain but not be fatal.<br /> I walked out the room but turned to them saying " That's for the betrayal, I never want to see or hear from either of you again. The next time you won't be so lucky."<br /> I descended the stairs shakily, I touched my face checking for tears but there were none. My chest was convulsing but I refused to give in to the pain I was feeling.<br /> As I got to the last step, I looked around, marched over to the fireplace and threw all photos she had of us together into it. I lifted the stoker, broke her 60" Samsung TV and everything went red from thereon. I trashed her apartment then walked out as if nothing happened.<br /> I grabbed my baseball bat from my trunk, smashed all her windows and doors. Just as I about to leave, I saw Dimitri's Silver Range Rover across the street.<br /> How didn't I notice it before?<br /> I walked up to it and repeated my actions. When I was satisfied, I hopped into my van and drove away.<br /> ---- <br /> Dimitri<br /> I couldn't believe Kayan shot us and simply walked away. I had known her for over 6 years but I never encountered this side of her. I knew I deserved that, worst of all, I ruined the one good thing I had done.<br /> I was thinking with my shaft and not my brain, because in assessing the current situation, Mariana was just a good woman. There is attraction, but the feelings I have for Kayan are deeper.<br /> Her sobs reverberated around the bedroom , bringing me back to the current situation.<br /> When Kayan left the room, I heard her trashing Mariana's apartment downstairs and was about to go after her.<br /> Mariana's words stopped me dead in my tracks, "Leave her be, Dimitri, she will kill you! She needs to calm down first before we approach her." I turned to her slowly, trying to ignore the pain and blood gushing from my wound.<br /> "What do you mean Mari? I'm going after her! There is no us. This was a mistake. I need to talk to her!" I ran my hands over my face then slid my belt around my leg making a tourniquet.<br /> She slid off the bed, gripping the sheet with her uninjured shoulder. " Take it from me, we're lucky to be alive! You have never seen her upset or know what she's capable of in this state but I do!" She tiptoed to the door listening for any further sound from downstairs, but was greeted with silence.<br /> Mariana sat on the stairs shaking and crying while gripping her disheveled hair.<br /> The front door was ajar, I moved to lock it but the sight of Mariana's car took my breath away. I looked across the street to mine and it looked even worst.<br /> I shook my head, sighed and turned too quickly, causing a searing pain in the bullet wound.<br /> I called my driver Michael and told him to be quick and discreet.<br /> Mariana got dressed in the meantime while we waited with bated breaths.<br /> Michael arrived in about 10 minutes, his eyes expressed shock but he knew better than to ask any questions.<br /> He drove us to Wyckoff Medical, the only place I knew would be discreet about what happened.<br /> Using the back entrance, we were quickly ushered into separate rooms for assessment.<br /> As I laid on the bed, I felt Dr. Green prodding my wound for the bullet. He's been our family physician since I was a child, so when he asked who I pissed off this time , I sighed and ignored him.<br /> All I could think about was Kayan, she was my everything!<br /> Not anymore you prick, you screwed up and you're lucky to be alive, I shook my head, trying to shake guilt ridden thoughts from my subconscious.<br /> I reminisced on all the times we spent together, the plans we made for our future and our kids. I reflected on how she supported me even when my own father doubted me. She never gave up on me. You shut up Dimitri!<br /> Dr. Green waved his hand above my eyes while calling my name. " Did you hear anything I said just now?" he asked quietly.<br /> I sighed " No, what is it?". My tone was clipped but right now I didn't care, I could apologize later.<br /> He rolled his eyes before continuing "I said there's a detective waiting outside to talk to you, you know it's my duty to report this." He grabbed a scissors and cut the thread, signaling that he had finished stitching my wound.<br /> "You'll live, but stay off your feet for a few days, and use a crutch if you have to move around." Dr. Green bandaged my leg and was about to leave when I stopped him.<br /> "Wait, I apologize for my behavior Doc. Where's the young lady who came in with me? I need to see her now." He looked at me sadly, shook his head and left the room without a word.<br /> My guess is he figured out why Kayan hadn't rushed into the hospital demanding answers. The realization hit me of how I not only disappointed Kayan but everyone close to me, especially my parents. <br /> I must have dosed off from the pain medication I had gotten as I was woken up by Mariana gently shaking my shoulder and calling my name.<br /> Blinking my eyes to adjust to the bright lights, I grabbed the remote and adjusted my bed. Mariana looked terrible, her hair was unkempt and her eyes were swollen. Her right arm was bandaged and now in a sling.<br /> She sat in the chair beside the bed and hung her head low. " I spoke to the police, I told them we were mugged at the apartment as we were trying to finalize wedding arrangements." It was barely a whisper, but I sighed in relief.<br /> "We messed up but I agree, I'll tell them the same thing. Kayan doesn't deserve this." My throat felt hoarse so I reached for a tumbler with water, poured a cup and took several sips.<br /> " I told you we needed to stop Dimitri but you insisted on coming over!" I pinned her with a glare which caused her to shut up immediately.<br /> The nerve of this woman! I laughed coldly before turning to her " Oh so now it's my fault Mar? Surely you weren't complaining when I rammed your wet dripping private part with my shaft right? You never said stop! Anything else I'm forgetting?" My chest was heaving by the time I finished ranting.<br /> I was about to continue but her sobs erupted. She looked at me lost, guilt etched across her face before she stood to leave.<br /> "Look Mar, I'm sorry okay. I just don't know what to do." I held her wrist, my thumb caressing the inside of her hand in a comforting way. "How did she get in though?"<br /> Mariana was trembling as tears streamed down her face. She took a deep breath before she spoke. "I forgot she had a key from over a year ago. She would always check the place when I traveled for a convention or went to see my family."<br /> My mouth opened to speak but no words were forthcoming and they never came as the door banged open, slamming into the wall denting it.<br /> Jumping with fright, we turned to see my very pissed off father and my distraught mother. Before I could utter a word, he spoke," You, get out now and don't let me see your face again!" Mariana jumped in fear and ran from the room sobbing before I could stop her.<br /> "Dad i can explain...." He slammed his hand onto the small table, knocking the tumbler over.<br /> My mom grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down but he flicked her hand away and grabbed my hospital gown roughly, "Explain what exactly Dimitri? How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> "I'm going to fix this Dad, just give me a chance please." I turned towards my mom seeking support but she turned her head away from me. " Mom, please I'm sorry, I'll fix this. I'm gonna make everything right."<br /> My Dad simply scoffed at my words, took my Mom's hands and walked out the door.<br /> The only sound that filled the room was that of the water droplets bouncing on the floor.<br /> ---- <br /> Mariana<br /> I have never been more regretful in my entire life. My head was throbbing non stop, my eyes were puffy from all the tears I'd shed in the past 24 hours. My mind replayed the events and all I could think of, was that I should be dead by Kayan's hands.<br /> My driver dropped me off to the apartment, and as I stepped inside I once again surveyed the damage. Nothing was left untouched, I had to start over but I guess that's the price to pay for stabbing your best friend in the back for six months.<br /> I wanted to stop so many times, I knew it was wrong but Dimitri was like a spirit I couldn't get enough of.<br /> We decided to take the secret to our graves and everything was going great until I saw him a week later at Danny's Cafe. We sat and talked for a while but after an hour when we attempted to leave, the sexual tension was just too much to ignore.<br /> From thereon, we used our lunch breaks and any free time we could muster to screw each other senseless. After each encounter, we'd say it was the last time , but that never happened as soon after I took trips when he did or he came to my apartment before going home.<br /> All this time, I gave Kayan a million excuses as to why we couldn't meet up, continued planning her wedding virtually and offered excuses when she whined about Dimitri being overly consumed by work.<br /> I even ended things with my own boyfriend as our relationship became strained and miserable because of my infidelity.<br /> Now this is the endgame, I lost my best friend who always stood by me and I'm pretty sure Dimitri and I have no future.<br /> Sitting on the stairs, I decided to take a leap of faith and call Kayan. If I could just get her to listen to me for a second, I would tell her how sorry I am and try to fix things.<br /> As I dialed her number, it went directly to voice-mail, and after trying a few more times unsuccessfully, I decided to go see her. I ordered an Uber, waiting outside for a few minutes before the car pulled up.<br /> I got in, gave the driver her address and stared blankly out the window. The only sounds were that of the music playing in the dashboard.<br /> Ten minutes later, I was standing on the curb outside Kayan's townhouse. Hesitantly, I opened the gate, trudged up the steps and rang the bell. I was there waiting for a few minutes, I called her but there was no response.<br /> I walked to the garden by the lamp post where she always hid a spare key. It was gone.<br /> Just as I was about to step from the yard, I was stopped in my tracks by a faint voice. My hopes increased but when I turned around expecting Kayan, no one was there.<br /> What was that then, I thought to myself.<br /> I reopened the Uber app, placed my request and waited by the curb.<br /> "She's not here you know." I was startled by the voice and was relieved to see her neighbor Michael.<br /> "What do you mean? Where is she?" I asked hurriedly.<br /> He eyed me suspiciously before replying,<br /> "Seeing you here looking like poop tells me you had a role in Kay's sudden departure 2 hours ago." His words were true yet hurtful, I castedmy eyes down in shame.<br /> "You don't know, Mike, just tell me where she went, I need to talk to her before it's too late" I begged him.<br /> The prick was nonchalant as he leant against her gate typing away on his phone. After getting a ping, indicating a message, he looked up at me smirking.<br /> "Well if you must know, my girl left for England indefinitely..." he paused, struggling to hold back a snicker, "...Oh and she says you should go yourself or Dimatro, whatever the pretty boy's name is." Michael was now clutching his side laughing hysterically while I sighed in defeat.<br /> She's gone! And now there's no way I will find her because I can't go to her family and I'm pretty sure she's already changed her number!<br /> I didn't warrant Michael a response since the Uber pulled up, I hopped in and left.<br /> My phone began vibrating in my pocket and I grabbed it quickly, just hoping it would be Kayan. I was disappointed as Dimitri's name flashed on the screen.<br /> "What do you want Dimitri? Haven't we done enough, didn't you hear what your father said?" I shouted angrily, catching sight of the driver's raised brows in the rear view mirror.<br /> "Calm down Mari, I wanted to apologize for my Dad. I'm getting discharged now so I'm heading home, I need to sort things out with Kay." Though I had wanted the same thing minutes ago, I couldn't help the pang of jealousy that gripped me.<br /> Before I could stop myself I snarled in response<br /> "Thanks for asking how I'm doing you prick! Oh and don't bother going there because she's gone!"<br /> "What are you talking about Mari! This is not the time to joke with me..." I'd had enough of his nonsense so I cut him mid sentence " Kay's gone Dimitri, I just left the house, she's not home and her neighbor says she left for England." The other end of the line was silent.<br /> I looked at the screen to see if the call had been disconnected but the line was still open.<br /> "Dimitri?" He sighed in response and I heard him grunt in pain, perhaps moving too quickly on his injured leg.<br /> "I'm here Mari. How will I fix things if I don't know where to find her? Of all the places, she had to chose England!? Couldn't she have just gone to her parents? What am I going to do now?"<br /> I wanted to speak but my throat felt as if it was clogged.<br /> I cut the call, switched to airplane mode and rested my head against the window as fresh salty tears rolled down my cheeks.<br /> I lost everything.<br /> My best friend. Dimitri .

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. 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?" | Guin112 | 20 | https://facebook.com/61554651037723 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

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." | ForFun-120 | 72 | https://facebook.com/61554751622817 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

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. 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 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 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." | ForFun-120 | 72 | https://facebook.com/61554751622817 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

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. 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.

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. 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 /> "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 | Lio112 | 9 | https://facebook.com/61554738300424 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | 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. | Lov002 | 57 | https://facebook.com/100092720766465 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

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 whore'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.

My chin begins to wobble as tears form in my eyes.<br /> I shouldn't be crying, but I know that he won't accept me. I'm ruined ... I'm marked, claimed to be someone elses ...<br /> "Why are you crying?" he inches closer and only stops when he's in front of me. I want to fall into his arms, to beg him not to reject me, to save me, but how can I when I'm claimed ...<br /> "You're going to reject me." my eyes squeeze shut as I suck my lips into my mouth.<br /> "You might be marked, but I can fix that."<br /> "How?" I stare up at him with teary eyes, "We remove it." he shrugs, his eyes filled with lust.<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> JESSICA'S POV<br /> Nick and I have been married for three years, we are high school sweethearts and married when we were twenty when neither of us found our mates. These days, fated mates are rare and hard to come by ... we both agreed I'd be a good Luna to the pack since I trained with him, I learned to be a luna from his mother and we have been inseparable since we were in diapers.<br /> He's my best friend and my true love.<br /> We made a promise to never leave, to never break the bond, to never reject one another when we found our real mates, which is likely to never happen.<br /> We are attending a ball tonight, but my insides are twisted, as if the Moon Goddess herself wants to shield me from whatever is going to happen, I tried to talk Nick into staying at home, but as stubborn like all alpha's are, he refused and said that we would get a bad name if we didn't attend.<br /> Sitting in the car while our driver takes us to a nearby pack, a strong and mighty one.<br /> I know it's our duty to attend, but holding his hand in the back seat, something is terribly wrong.<br /> We arrive and there are a line of cars outside, one by one driving by , guests getting out, wearing gowns and suits.<br /> It's our turn and Nick opens the door, holding his hand out to me and I happily take it as we get out, photos are taken and a red carpet is rolled out as if we were famous.<br /> Nick looks handsome with his dark blonde hair gelled back, his chiseled jaw tense, and the edges of his lips curled up into a small smile.<br /> We arrive inside and we're led to the ballroom, servants with trays walking with snack food and drinks pace all over while the guests stand and chat.<br /> I notice the alpha of The Deep Mountain pack greeting people, making rounds to greet and speak, there's a stage in the middle against the wall, a bar to the side and a dance floor in the middle where couples are dancing elegantly.<br /> I smile at my surroundings and freeze when I look at Nick, staring at a beautiful dark haired girl .<br /> "Nick." I tug at his hand, but it's like he's under a spell, frozen in time as the girl stares back at him.<br /> "Nick." I tug harder, his shoulder shrugging back, "Huh?" he turns to me with a frown, his fingers letting go of my hand and I feel cold.<br /> "I'm going to grab a drink." he smiles at me before walking off towards the bar, closer to the strange woman.<br /> I was an omega and the room is filled with power, I could even feel hers because she is of a higher rank.<br /> I gulp as I watch him walk to the bar, his eyes locked on hers and she elegantly turns in her navy blue dress, walking towards him with dark lustful eyes.<br /> I can't be ... but it is ... it's his mate ..<br /> I stand frozen and a shoulder bumps into me, making my head turn at the woman glaring and snarling, "Watch where you are going!" she scolds and I apologize before walking over to the bar, joining my mate's side while he absentmindedly stares at the woman next to him.<br /> I clear my throat, but there's no response from him.<br /> He doesn't even notice me ..<br /> "Nick." I smile , hope filling my heart as he glances at me, fear flashing through his perfect green orbs as he steps back and then looks at her again.<br /> "Jess, this is Tiffany ... my mate." he smiles awkwardly at me but when he looks at her, it's a genuine smile ...<br /> "Nick." I frown in concern and he takes my hand, giving it a tight squeeze, "Don't worry, I know what to do." he smiles, "Shall we talk outside?" the gloominess in his eyes makes me relax only for a minute until she holds out her hand, smiling gracefully with her full lips and pretty blue eyes.<br /> My heart sinks when her hand hooks into his arm and they head to the balcony. alone ...<br /> I should go with ... but it is a private matter.<br /> 'He's ours...' Zola, my wolf, whimpers.<br /> I stand at the bar, staring carelessly at my mate walking off with his true mate and I inch closer, frowning as every nerve in my body is burning to follow them.<br /> I glance around and there are so many people that they don't even notice until the Luna of the Deep Mountain pack steps closer, "Jessica, is it? From the West Pack?" I nod, trying not to be rude when I look at the balcony and not at her while she speaks to me.<br /> "Oh honey, it's done." she shakes her head and I frown, cocking my head at her in confusion.<br /> "What do you mean?" My eyes stare into her honey ones.<br /> "He found his mate, I'm sorry but it's fated and you are now the other woman." she sighs, glancing at the balcony doors.<br /> I stare at her, my heart racing a million miles an hour and I excuse myself.<br /> I step out of the house, moving around the arriving couples when I feel my heart squeeze, pain taking over and I know what it meant ... Disgust fills me and I start to run, glancing over my shoulder no one notices and I shift, my beautiful pastel pink dress ripping to shreds as I run into the woods.<br /> The pain had stopped, but I did not return home until after midnight, finding Nick sitting on the couch, watching tv.<br /> "Jessica, where have you been?" he stands as I slam the door shut, standing undressed in front of him.<br /> I cross my arms over my chest, glaring at him. "Excuse me?" I shake my head at him, "Where have I been? What have you been doing!" I growl, making his eyes widen in shame and his gaze flicks to the floor when he scratches his nape.<br /> "That's what I thought, you couldn't even resist ten minutes before sleeping her, could you?" I see the pure rage filling me.<br /> "I didn't, I swear..." he promises, but I don't believe him.<br /> Scoffing, I strut past the couch to our room, "Can we talk?" he yells and I turn , "Did you reject her?" I frown and he falls silent, raking a hand through his hair.<br /> "Then no, we can't ." I turn and walk to our room.<br /> He follows me, closing the door behind us, "Jess, I love you. I promise I will reject her, I just ... I couldn't, it's much more difficult than you think." he frowns, explaining himself.<br /> "And will you go and do it?" I grab clothes from the closet, "I will, just ... I need time." he begs and I snort, "Can I come when you do it?" the silence says it all, he doesn't want me there ...<br /> "You're saying you'll do it, but you won't, because you are weak." I tut, shaking my head.<br /> "I will, I just need to distance myself, to keep myself away and then I'll do it when I have the strength to." he explains, his eyes pleading for forgiveness.<br /> I hum, ignoring him as I strut past him toward the bathroom and he reaches for me, grabbing my wrist and I snarl at him, making him let me go instantly, "Don't touch me after sleeping someone else." I grit out, backing up into the bathroom and I slam the door shut, the heavy thud shaking the windows and I lock the door.<br /> I take a hot shower, the water pouring down on me as my back slides down the tiled wall, tears streaming down my face as I weep.<br /> I hear the door handle jiggle and I wipe the fog from the glass door, staring at the handle go up and down as he tries to enter.<br /> I feel a tug at the mind link, but I shut him out.<br /> He disgusts me, he promised, both of us promised one another that we would immediately reject our mates before the bond grew and he is letting it grow, making it ten times more difficult to reject them.<br /> I can't believe I trusted him ... I expose his mark in the crook of my neck, I hold our love dear in my heart and he just let it all go down the drain, letting it sink into the sewers.<br /> I am nothing under his shoe and here I am, still loving him with every breath I take.<br /> After sitting more than an hour under the steaming water, it turns cold and I sit for another half an hour before standing and I shut the water off, taking my time to get dressed and when I stride out in silk booty shorts and a thin strap silk top, I notice how Nick lays in bed, his thumbs circling one another as he stares at the ceiling.<br /> He doesn't even notice me and I am sure he's thinking about her.<br /> The one who stole his heart within a second, the one who is going to steal my life, my bed, my position and my mate.<br /> We are real mates, we accepted one another, we marked each other, we might not be fated, but we are real or we were before her.<br /> ==<br /> My heart starts racing as we head further up the stairs, my pulse is beating in my ears and the musky scent is intensifying. When we reach the top, there's an entire living room in the middle and then two halls, but the scent up here is stronger ... "What's that smell?" I ask Louis without hesitation. He turns to me, his arched brows furrowing together, "The sweaty smell? Must be Nate, my alpha, but please, call him Alpha Nathaniel, he doesn't like strangers calling him Nate, or anyone else. As his best friend, I have perks." he winks at me, his smile so genuine and he seems like a totally different guy in his own pack than what he was at the party.<br /> I wet my lips and it still stings, it's taking forever to heal but I could feel it start from the inside.<br /> "Louis! Have you seen my phone?" Nate's voice comes from the opposite hall. "No, I've been out doing your job!" Louis yells back and the power lingering in the air is suffocating me. I'm stiff and upset about the stupid dress I thought would impress Nick.<br /> "Come.." Louis tugs me down the other hall, away from Alpha Nathaniel and once I enter his room, I'm shook. Everything is so white except for a few decorations. "Wow." I breathe out, his room is bigger than Nick and I's.<br /> He marches over to his closet and grabs a shirt, tossing it at me, "The bathroom is over there." he nods behind me and I turn, smiling before looking over my shoulder at him, "I'll be right back." he struts over to the door and I head inside the bathroom, the white marble walls knock the air right out of my lungs and I stand for two minutes and just look at everything.<br /> The bathtub looks huge, almost like a hot tub, the shower has benches built in and is large with great shower head equipment, the sink is built into a large white counter with beautiful engraved cupboards below it.<br /> I quickly undress and put Louis' white shirt on that fits me like a dress. I drape my dress over my arm and pick up my heels before exiting the bathroom, standing awkwardly looking at the bed ... wondering if he'll come back to peck me ...<br /> I know I shouldn't think of it, but I've been feeling so alone ... It doesn't matter if Nick slept next to me last night, his mind wasn't with me ... he didn't want me in his bed ... he wanted her.<br /> He didn't even come near me when all I wanted was for him to hold me, to tell me I'm still important too ... but he didn't. When he climbed into bed, he turned his back to me and fell asleep, but it seemed forced, like he didn't want to see me at all.<br /> The door opens and Louis stands there, his eyes trailing me standing in his shirt. "You are tiny, aren't you?" he comes inside, holding out his hand and I take it, "Let's get that dress fixed." he grins and leads me down the hall again.<br /> Before taking the first step, a clearing of a throat makes us stop, "Louis, who's this?" Alpha Nathaniel's voice makes a shiver run down my spine and Louis turns first, "Jessica." he smiles and before he could explain anything, I turn, freezing when our eyes lock.<br /> My lips part as I stare into Alpha Nathaniel's beautiful olive orbs, his entire body language changes, his laid back look now tense.<br /> "Mate." he growls lowly and I gasp, fear and excitement mixing inside of me. My stomach flutters and Louis let's go of me, stepping aside, "Nate, I didn't know." he moves away from me and Alpha Nathaniel's eyes lock on my busted lip, his eyes flicking a bright silver as he looks at Louis, "What happened to her lip?" he grits out, anger clear in his tone.<br /> "Her..." , "Wait!" I blurt out, looking at Louis with pleading eyes and Alpha Nathaniel's head snaps to my direction, curiosity visible in his gaze, "Why wait?" Alpha Nathaniel asks, his tone calm when speaking to me.<br /> "I just ... I think I should tell you." I pick at my nails nervously, hoping that he wouldn't reject me.<br /> Louis walks over to me, "Give me the dress, I'll get it cleaned." he smiles and Alpha Nathaniel gives him a weird look as I hand it over.<br /> "Excuse me." Louis mutters before trotting down the stairs, leaving me alone with Alpha Nathaniel.<br /> "So, what happened?" he asks, his muscles tensing. I want to inch closer, every fibre of my being wants to be near him ... but his gaze falls to my neck, looking at the mark embroidered into my flesh.<br /> "My mate his Louis for dancing with me and he accidentally hit me too ... I was in the way." his eyes flash bright, anger written all over his face, "Accidentally?" he frowns, dragging his large veiny hand through his black hair. "Yes, I believe so." I gulp, his aura makes me feel like running away.<br /> "And you have a mate..." his eyes narrow on my mark and I feel the need to just claw it off.<br /> "My mate found his mate and now I'm just ... the luna of our pack." My chin begins to wobble as tears form in my eyes.<br /> I shouldn't be crying, but I know that he won't accept me. I'm ruined ... I'm marked, claimed to be someone elses ...<br /> "Why are you crying?" he inches closer and only stops when he's in front of me. I want to fall into his arms, to beg him not to reject me, to save me, but how can I when I'm claimed ...<br /> "You're going to reject me." my eyes squeeze shut as I suck my lips into my mouth. I flinch as his fingers brush over my cheek, wiping the tears away and sparks erupt in my face, sending a calm sensation down my back.<br /> "You might be marked, but I can fix that." his hand brushes my raven hair back over my shoulder, his thumb dragging over my mark and it slightly stings because he isn't the man who gave it to me ...<br /> "How?" I stare up at him with teary eyes, "We remove it." he shrugs, his eyes filled with lust.<br /> I step back, "How?"<br /> I never heard of a mark being removed ... and if someone did, they sure didn't survive to tell the tale.<br /> "It's a rare ritual, but you seem tough enough." he shrugs, making my blood run cold ... I'm not tough ... I was an omega before being a luna ...<br /> "I was an omega before being a luna." I blurt out, feeling like it's a fact he has to know.<br /> "But you are a luna, it changes your status. Didn't you feel yourself change?" his fingers drag down the side of my arm before he takes my hand and I feel like I might just jump him right here.<br /> "Let's get you out of Louis's shirt ... I know he's kind but you smelling like him pisses me off." his eyes widen, his jaw tense and I follow him without hesitation.<br /> Walking into his room is like walking into a fancy black interior design room, the walls are black, his bedding his black, his cupboards are black ... everything is black with beautiful gold detailing.<br /> "Wow." I breathe out as I absentmindedly march over to the double doors and just open them without asking. I step outside onto the patio, staring at the dark forest that surrounds us. We're far from the ground and I turn, looking at the dark exterior.<br /> Alpha Nathaniel joins me outside with a black t-shirt, not that I expected anything else, "Here, this will suit you much better." he grins, handing me the black shirt. "Where's your bathroom?" he frowns at my question, "Inside." he nods to behind him and I smile up at him, his emerald eyes glistening as he watches me pass him.<br /> I could feel his eyes on me as I disappear into the bathroom and it's even bigger than Louis' ...<br /> I find it extremely weird that the guy who brought me home is my mate's beta ... for Goddess sake ... I thought of pecking him!<br /> I take a few minutes to glance around the bathroom, staring at myself in the full length bathroom mirror across from me.<br /> My lip is almost fully healed at least ...<br /> Nick ... oh Goddess, what do I tell Nick? | Fics101 | 135 | https://facebook.com/61554382746013 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

You won't talk to me, and every time I get close to you, you scurry away." He put his hands in his pockets.<br /> "Christian, there is nothing to talk about. I don't have time for your gibberish. Don't you have other girls to bother? What can you possibly talk to me about? !" I was losing my cool.<br /> "Natalie, I like you a lot." His eyes were getting dark. That look, there it was again. Desire? "CHRISTIAN!" I yelled. "Spit it out now! What did you come here fโ" Before I could finish my statement, he slammed his lips on me.<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> ~Christian's POV~<br /> Last night I heard my parents talking about Natalie coming home. I knew they were talking about Natalie Adams, the one girl who was untouchable or unapproachable. That vixen thought she was hiding in the shadows but I saw her.<br /> The thing is that she didn't realize how badly guys wanted her. Even if they came up to her it was funny because she would stare at them like they were stupid and her resting b-face said it all. She didn't even have to respond, and because of that they never approached her again. Talk about painted black. I think that was the color of her soul.<br /> The girl was beyond gorgeous. Every time she walked in a classroom or the cafeteria, her dark and mysterious demeanor attracted anyone. She would never know, because when you saw her with her earbuds on, it's as if Natalie was always in her own world.<br /> I wonder where she goes every summer because I never saw her around the pack when school was finished. I was thinking about asking my parents, but that will have to wait.<br /> I was always surrounded or being approached by girls, it never failed. I've slept around and I wasn't ashamed of it because I am an Alpha and an Alpha needs that release. I did have an ex-girlfriend that seemed to not know the meaning of "ex". Elle was always around when I needed an easy contact.<br /> She was Zeo Wilson's sister, our future beta, and was captain of the cheerleader squad. This girl would sometimes scare the other girls away and acted like she owned me. The girl is hot but has a nasty attitude and thinks highly of herself. No shame whatsoever.<br /> Natalie, however, she was the one girl I was profoundly attracted to. I wanted to feel and taste her. She had this strong aura around her and that confused me because I know her parents are warriors, but there was this ambience about her that made me want her more than any other she wolf. Just maybe, maybe she could be my fated mate.<br /> I went on Instagram and just like I assumed, she has her account in private, so you can only see her profile picture. It was a set of earbuds on top of a book in black and white. This girl was fascinating. I wanted to know her so badlyโฆall of her.<br /> I mean come on, who wouldn't want a piece of me. I'm 6 '6, muscular, I have the lightest gray eyes with dirty blonde hair, medium on the top and short sides. I'm every girl's wet dream. I've been told I look like the younger version of Christopher Egan. I'm better looking though.<br /> So I did what I have never done with any other girl. I sent her a friend request on Instagram. "Now the waiting game begins."<br /> ~Natalie POV~<br /> "Pfffsh, no!" He may be attractive, and I won't deny it. After all, I am a girl, and the guy is hot. Every girl may go crazy for him and desire him, but not me. He's a scumbag. His cocky disposition said it all.<br /> He sleeps with anything that has a hole. It's like a stray dog, leave it alone, you don't know where it's been. 'He probably has STDs or something, not to mention where his mouth has been,' Zoe said in disgust. Can't disagree. I know we may be exaggerating, but Christian's been around with almost every chic in that school.<br /> ~<br /> I was already running for 20 minutes, when I sensed another wolf running too. 'A warrior on security watch?' No. My wolf Jasper sensed it was a girl. As I got closer, I smirked. 'Well, well, lookie who it is.' I told Jaz, a shorter name for my wolf.<br /> I knew I would get to her first before she sensed us because Alpha's have stronger abilities than all other wolves.<br /> 'Lucky us. I am fond of this one, Chris.' Jaz said. 'Well let's go say hello, maybe we'll get lucky to allure her.' I said cockily.<br /> As we got closer, she turned around in defensive mode. 'That was odd.'<br /> "What, Christian! What are you trying to do? Give me a heart attack numb nuts!" She said, trying to catch her breath.<br /> I started to laugh, "Woah baby, no need to go in attack mode andโฆnumb nuts?" I said, raising an eyebrow looking offended with her word choice of insult. She was fiery, and her voice sounded hot.<br /> "Yeahโฆwellโฆyou should never sneak up on anyone running ALPHA!" She said angrily.<br /> Every time she spoke, my shaft twitched, and this time, I stepped closer. I smirked and licked my bottom lip. "Nat, you don't have to call me Alpha, just Christian or Chris for short." She noticed the action.<br /> She raised an eyebrow, "OkayโฆChristianโฆbut you will have to call me Natalie. Only my close friends and my parents call me Nat. What are you doing here? Were you stalking me? You know better than anyone never to sneak up on someone like that unless you're looking for a hip whooping," She spat. "You know how rogues don't follow rules and are ruthless killers!"<br /> "Wait, stalking! No, I was out for a run today. Why did you say it like thatโฆwaitโฆunless you saw the friend request." I said, dismissing the rogue statement.<br /> "Pleaseโฆyeah I saw it. Now that you bring it upโฆno." She simply said.<br /> "Noโฆ" I said, looking dumb founded.<br /> "We are not friends, and you have never spoken a word to me, Christian. What did you expect? It would be like you invading my personal space!"<br /> "Speaking of personal space, back off, you keep coming closer, dude." She looked pissed and was already fisting up her hands.<br /> "Shorty, why do you have to be so angry? It's just a friend request, and it's not just from anyone, but from your future Alpha," I chuckled. "Sweetheart, you make it difficult to get near you. In that case, let me get to know you better, Natalie. It's never too late." Now biting my lower lip.<br /> As I got closer, she kept backing up until she hit a tree. I leaned to her face, and I could smell the vanilla scent in her hair. She smelled good. I wanted to peck her badly. But that thought disappeared when I suddenly felt pain down south. 'Did she just hit my balls!' I went down on one knee holding my pair to soothe them.<br /> "Don't for one, think, I am attracted to you or treat me like those other girls you have luring around. I am nothing like them. Never invade my personal space. You may be my Alpha soon, but even the Alpha has to respect his pack members." She looked down on me and if I wasn't more attracted to her than ever.<br /> She was beautiful. 'Chris, mate or not, we want her!' Jaz said, and I couldn't agree more. ' She definitely is unique, Jaz, one of a kind. ' I said as I saw her curvy body making her way back home. My hands ached to touch her.<br /> 'The nerve of that fool' I told Zo. 'Did you see how he was licking his lips like if I was a piece of meat,' I said, all pissed off. 'He was sniffing my hair too! Creep!'<br /> 'You sure kicked him hard, girlie! If I could hi-five you, I would, so I'll do it mentally' she snickered. 'He is cute, though Natie. The guy has muscle. I wouldn't mind seeing his wolf Jasper.' Zoe said.<br /> Ughโฆmaybe so, but he is too arrogant and cocky. Zoe kinda caught me off guard with that comment, though. Traitor.<br /> I ran fast, heading home. So much for a quiet and peaceful run. I got home showered and changed. My parents weren't home. I noticed it was past 9, so I called Evie.<br /> "Good morning Natie! I woke up at 9 thinking you weren't kidding on calling me, but to my surprise, you didn't call on time. That's not you, Nat." She said, concerned.<br /> "Evie, you will never believe what happened to me. Come over so we can talk and head out!"<br /> _____________________<br /> "No freaking way! What are you for reals? ! Christian!" Evie's mouth was wide open.<br /> "The devil in the flesh Ev's!" I told her. I explained what happened this morning about receiving his friend request and what happened on my run, almost scaring the pee out of me by sneaking up on me. The way he caged me by a tree and how he was acting weird, like trying to make a move on me.<br /> "Nat, Christian has the hots for you." She said in a teasing voice. Christian is not a one woman man. "Ev's, no dude. Honestly, there is only one guy that I really would like to know andโฆugh," I said, now feeling a little sad.<br /> "Who! ? Ivan Carter? ! He is an attractive one, buddy."<br /> Ivan Carter belongs to another pack, the Midnight Pack. He is the son of Alpha Easton Carter. He also attends the academy, and every time I sneak a peek at him, my body reacts to him. I've touched myself just thinking about him.<br /> 'You ain't lying Nat, he's a total package.' Zoe said breathlessly.<br /> 'Okay make up your mind! ? I chucked.<br /> I have never gotten close to him or talked to him. Well it's my fault, actually. I don't like getting close to anyone, and I was scared that he didn't feel the same way. I can't get my hopes up anyway. He's meant to be an Alpha. We shouldn't really mess with Alphas either way. I've heard Alpha's can choose their mates as well, but a true fated mate can make a strong heir.<br /> He also has this chic that is always around him, Camila Ares. She is next in line for Gamma in his pack. She is always with or on him. She freaking irritates me.<br /> 'He doesn't look interested in her, but they are always together. Well him and his click.' Zoe putting her two cents in. 'Yup,' I sighed.<br /> "Evie, do you think this year will be different? I don't know if I'm ready to see who I'm mated to." I can't believe I sound so down. I mentally slapped myself, I got up and shook off all of those unwanted emotions and thoughts.<br /> I'm scared of these feelings I have for Ivan, only to be hurt if he's mated with someone else, which probably will happen. I have to do something fast and stop whatever this is before I get a broken heart.<br /> "Nat, you're gorgeous, and anyone mated to you will be lucky as heck because you are one of a kind! To answer your question, yes! This is our year!" She leaned over and gave me a big hug.<br /> "You're gorgeous too, buddy. Anyone would be lucky to have you as a mate. I'll kick your mate's hip if he thinks otherwise. I got your back, babe!"<br /> We got up and headed for my car. My parents had gotten me a used Red, fourth generation Camaro from 2004, on my 16th birthday. I love my car.<br /> I rammed my engine and headed to town.<br /> ~Ivan's POV~<br /> "Alpha Ivan! Hey, earth to Alpha!" Jerry hollered. "I'm right next to you idiot" I growled. "Put me on the spot, why don't you."<br /> Jerry Scott is my Delta, and he's already taking charge since his father stepped down. He is the head warrior and trains our pack members.<br /> Training is about to start, and we are about to spar each other.<br /> I will soon become Alpha of the Midnight Pack. At the age of 18, the current Alpha, my father, Easton Carter, will step down, and I will claim my place as Alpha.<br /> I got distracted with my thoughts. In a few weeks I'll be going back to school at the Blue Moon Academy. It's our last year, and I'm anxious, though. There's this girl that has been on my mind rent-free. I haven't made the effort to talk to her. It seems she's not the talkative kind and brushes anyone away.<br /> This year will be different. I will make the initiative to get closer to her. I'm all giddy just thinking about her. When I think about her face, her hair, and her body, I get turned on. Natalie Adams makes me feel things I've never felt for anyone.<br /> Striker, my wolf puts these images in my head of us sleeping. 'There is something about this girl Ivan, that when I see her, it makes me go crazy, she belongs to us. That aura around her when she is pissed is captivating?' Striker says calmly.<br /> It's not common when a person's wolf feels infatuated with a certain person who is not their mate. I've heard that Alpha's get signs if a girl belongs to them, but we haven't been too close to her to sense any of those signs. Honestly, I wouldn't even know the signs if they were there.<br /> Just watching her from afar has been enough for us both these past years. But it's time to change that because just looking at her is not sufficient anymore. We need and want more of her.<br /> However, he's right. We've seen people piss her off from a distance. She doesn't show emotion like other girls, but when she is angry, her aura is strong, and with that, she scares them off. She's fierce.<br /> Her demeanor says it all. I can't put my finger on it. Only wolves with high rankings have that type of aura that demands respect and obedience.<br /> But if I am correct, her parents are warriors from Christian's pack. Soโฆit can't be possible. Werewolves take their rankings seriously. Well, most of us. That's just the way it should be. Your destined mate and you should make a strong heir.<br /> It also irks me of the fact that Christian has had his eyes on her. It sucks that she is from his pack. You can see the gleam in his eyes when she walks into the lunchroom. My wolf wants to peek out and claw his eyes out each time. Arrogant nutsack.<br /> 'That's true. Should we do a bit of research regarding her family line?' Striker eagerly says. 'Yeah, maybe we should. Just maybe there is something more to her, and by luck, we could have a chance to be mated to her.' With that thought, I couldn't help but smile.<br /> You may ask, what is it about this girl that makes her so interesting? Well, she is definitely not like the girls at school or my pack. She is attractive, and that fierce, mysterious, emotionless demeanor she gives out makes her so alluring. Makes you curious about her personality and what she thinks. This girl attracts unwanted attention without even trying.<br /> All other girls yearn for that attention and throw themselves at guys, but not her. She also doesn't give any guy her undivided attention. It's like no one exists around her. She is in her own world.<br /> "Ay, what's that on your face! Are you smiling? Wipe that off Alpha, ain't nobody got time for that when you're about to get a beat down." Jerry says laughing.<br /> โฆand just like that, my face is emotionless.<br /> 'Alright, you got jokes!' I scowl. Turning around, I yelled, "BEGIN!"<br /> _________<br /> After our training, I headed to the pack house. As I open the front door and head to the stairs, I hear footsteps behind me, and someone jumps on my back. I knew it was Camila because of her scent. It's too flowery and strong for my liking. Striker growls.<br /> Everyone thinks that we are together, but that is far from the truth. We are friends with benefits. I don't feel anything for her, honestly. Striker gets pissed off. He dislikes her scent and voice.<br /> He only accepts it if we imagine Natalie beneath us.<br /> "Get off me, Camila! I'm your Alpha!" I yelled. She flinched and quickly got off. I already do Alpha affairs as I'm slowly transitioning into the labors of a true leader. I take my job seriously because leading is what I do best.<br /> "What's wrong baby, you've been distant lately? You don't want me anymore? You haven't invited me up to your room. It's been weeks now, Ivan." She said, with her whiny voice.<br /> Striker snapped, 'She better remember her place, Ivan! It's Alpha to this bimbo!'<br /> I palm my face. "ALPHA! ALPHA IVANโฆCAMILA! ! ! Don't forget my title and don't forget your place." I growled. I was being a scumbag.<br /> Don't get me wrong, Camila is hot. She is 5'8 taller than most girls, with chocolate brown hair. She has these pretty hazel orbs. However, she has an ugly attitude, especially with girls that get close to me. I can't stand that. I may have slept with her a couple of times, but I feel nothing for her. She is not Natalie.<br /> ~<br /> "What's up Ivan, you rang! ?" Pointing at his head trying to be funny.<br /> Jerry, Axel, and Camila are allowed to call me Ivan without using my title. Especially if we are alone or having a group conversation with just the four of us.<br /> However, Camila has been irritating me lately. I may have acted like a scumbag but I have to somehow hammer it in her head that we are not a thing.<br /> I said this before, but I take my position seriously. Being a leader is a serious matter and the decisions I make can have a life or death impact on my pack.<br /> From here forward, she will have to understand that I can not condone that type of disrespect especially if we are not together. I allowed it in my bedroom but now, things have changed. She also has to take her position seriously. If and when I find my Luna, she will be the one to be protecting her. That's the role of a Gamma.<br /> "Yup, I got a mission for you. But this is low key." I said glaring at him.<br /> "Okay, whatcha got? !" Jerry said now sounding excited.<br /> "You remember Natalie Adams from the academy? From Christian's Pack." I asked.<br /> "Yeahโฆwho doesn't! She's freaking hot!" He sheepishly replied.<br /> "Watch it! I want you to look into her family background," I said possessively.<br /> He covered his mouth and jokingly said, "Whaaaโฆ? !" I pinched the bridge of my nose and furrowed my brows. "Well can you or can you not! ?" sounding bothered now.<br /> He chuckled, "Of course I can, anything for you bro. Is there something I should be concerned about though or something I am looking for in specific?"<br /> "Have you ever noticed the aura she gives out at times? I sense power and strength like if she comes from a higher rank, but her parents are warriors," I calmly said. It may not be a big deal but I'm curious now.<br /> "I just think there's more than meets the eye with her," I wasn't lying. "She is so different. It's like Camila, she's a Gamma because of her dad, but Natalie seems to be stronger than a Gamma if you get my drift."<br /> "Ah, okay, okay, I get it. I'll get to it. You don't have to explainโฆit makes sense," he said. "This can not leave this room. This is between you and me," I said, trusting him.<br /> The less people know what I do, the better. It may be stupid to others but for me, this is imperative.<br /> "Got it!" Jerry said leaving the room. Jerry is my best tracker and hacker when it comes to technology.

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. 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.

My dad is really mad at you and Raven being mates." Twin sister Reagan said to my mate.<br /> "I don't mind rejecting her, but I would have been embarrassed to face my mate" Justin said.<br /> "My father has decided to appoint me as his future Alpha not my sister Raven. So, I will be your luna." Reagan said to Justin.<br /> ******** <br /> I silently run through the woods letting my wolf Emerald out tonight. She has been anxious all day, well really the last few days, and I could tell that she needed to come out for a run. <br /> Alpha Cole Walker is the Alpha of the Blood Walker pack. He is said to be one of the most dangerous Alphas in the United States. It is said that he would hurt anyone who dared to enter his pack uninvited. Due to this fact, most of our pack members studiously avoid this area altogether.<br /> My twin sister, Reagan, is the golden child of the pack. They all love her unconditionally. She is cherished and appreciated, no matter what she does. They all seem to ignore the fact that she is a horrible and mean she-wolf. I was born first, and with that should come the respect that after I find my mate, I will officially be the Luna here, and he will take over as the Alpha of the pack. Yet they all treat her as the next Luna. <br /> My sister and I are the only children that our parents had. The Goddess never blessed them with another child, even though they tried for years. My father, Alpha Graham Sullivan, is very strict with me. I am not allowed to leave my room other than to eat my meals and then return back to my room again. I am also not allowed to leave our pack for any reason. I have never even crossed the border of the Sliver Blade pack in my life. <br /> I was the Alpha's daughter, but I was not a valued member of this pack. Telling on me has always resulted in a bonus for whoever told on me to my father. I have had to learn how to overcome this on my own. It has made me very independent over the years, as well as a very good climber. I use the tree outside my window at the pack house, to climb up and down to get in and out of my room.<br /> From my vantage point, I can see who is coming now and rolled my eyes so hard I almost saw my brain. It was Reagan, and she was pulling the arm of a pretty large guy, as she headed toward the grassy bank near my tree. I realized right this moment that I have picked a terrible place to hide. I should have doubled back and then climbed in my window to my room and I would have been safe and sound in my room. Reagan is clearly out with one of her many men, as she was allowed to stay out and do whatever she wanted to. I mean how else could she beat me to finding her mate if she didn't flirt with all the unmated men in our pack? I rolled my eyes again and then froze when I looked at them again and got a good look at his face.<br /> That smell coming off of him was starting to drive me wild, he smelled like freshly baked cinnamon buns, and I was now pissed off. She had come here with the guy that I had a crush on, someone with whom she had never shown any interest in before. It was our Beta's son and the guy that I have had a crush on for the last year and a half.<br /> "No, don't stop them, Raven, she has already been dating with him for the last few months. This is not the first time, it has been well before he returned to the pack earlier this week. They are together now, dating, and they have both vowed to reject their actual mates to stay together to take over and run this pack. Please, just try to bear it, I will help you get through it. I am glad that you are in a secure location, this may make you pass out" Emerald linked me, and I felt physically sick.<br /> "How do you know this? Did she know that he is my mate? Why can't I approach him? Maybe he wants me, Emerald. Please let me stop this. He might not know that I am his mate, he may still want me, want US! I don't want to lose him, Emerald. He may not be aware his true mate is here. Can't he already smell our scent up here, like I smelled his scent? Are you sure that this is the only way? Please Emerald" I linked her back, and I feel the tears that are already sliding down my face. I have questions, and I need answers.<br /> I am frustrated. I don't want to give up on my true mate. He doesn't even know that I am here, and I do want him. I don't want to give him up, especially not to my sister Reagan. I don't know if I can survive this level of betrayal.<br /> "I can't wait for mom and dad to announce to the pack that we will be the Alpha and Luna tomorrow. This is something that I have really wanted for the last 8 years. I am so glad you decided that we could be chosen mates. " My sister says to my mate.<br /> "Besides, I am also glad that you are willing to lead the Silver Blade pack with me. I have a feeling that my freak of a sister who keeps staring at you is going to be crushed when she finds out that we are together. You dodged by deciding to accept me as your chosen mate. I know that she has a crush on you, so she would probably try to ask you out or something when she sees that you are back from break." She adds.<br /> "I think we will be so happy together. Raven will be so angry when she finds out that we planned this months ago. I cannot wait for her to find out. I even told mom to have her sit on the front row for the pack meeting tomorrow, so I can see her face when dad makes the announcement. I am going to put her next to you so it will hurt her more when dad calls you up on stage. When she realizes that her crush is going to be my mate, she is going to be so jealous of me. I am so going to get a picture of her face when she finds out, as I will want to remember that moment for a long time" I heard Reagan say to him, and I was so choked up I couldn't hold in the sob of pain that managed to escape.<br /> It wasn't loud, but with werewolf hearing, it was loud enough. I just stayed completely still and prayed that they hadn't heard me, but Justin started talking when my sob escaped, and they had no reaction, so I think I am safe.<br /> "I have always thought that you were a she-wolf, Reagan. I am so glad that you came up to my training with your offer, and for us to get extra special time together. If Raven were allowed to move around the pack, I don't think that she would be missing the fact that she is my mate. I scented her today when I got back to the pack and confirmed she is my mate. Per our agreement, I don't mind rejecting her, as I am clearly getting the better sister out of this deal. I would have been embarrassed to have to call that freak of nature my mate" Justin said, and with it, my heart was completely crushed.<br /> These two evil people deserved each other, and I will not waste another tear on his betrayal. He "chose" her, so he can keep her. She will never be faithful to him, and he will not ever be able to trust that their children are his either. She was just doing this to ensure that they become the next Alpha and Luna. She is what he wanted, so she can have him. I am thoroughly disgusted by both of them, and I will not allow them to make me sad one more day. I had already decided to get out of this horrible pack, and I will not miss the Silver Blade pack for a second. <br /> "She is your mate? Are you serious? Oh, this is the best" Reagan said as she laughed out in joy at hearing this information. "Justin, why haven't you mentioned this to me before?" Reagan continued.<br /> "I just found out about it earlier today as I have been gone for my training for the last 4 months. I caught my mate's scent and followed it so I could go ahead and reject them. I realized it was coming from the Alpha level, and when I went up and it led me straight to her door, it was really faint, but I sensed it. She doesn't even know it yet. I am sure that this information is not going to go over well with your parents. They may be upset when they find out. Are they still going to want us to move forward with our plan? Or are they going to want me and Raven to be mates because we are true mates?" Justin asked Reagan. I have to admit, I was interested in her reply as well, but I already suspected what the answer was going to be.<br /> "Oh no Justin, you will definitely be staying with me. I know dad is really going to get a kick out of you and Raven being mates. Mom might feel a little bad for her, but I think that this is great. I could not be happier that her true mate, will become my chosen mate.<br /> We will rule the Silver Blade pack together, and it will hurt her every day to see us together. It is my pack any way, it was never going to be hers. Maybe if we are lucky since she doesn't have a wolf, she won't be able to scent you, and your rejection might even hurt her when you do it. That would be the best-case scenario for all of us" Reagan said, and I could tell that Justin was a little shocked at how hateful she was. Reagan could tell that Justin was not liking this side of her so she quickly changed her attitude and started cooing at Justin, "She doesn't deserve you, baby, I love you and I want you. Hopefully, you will come to love me too.<br /> I was just worried, I don't want you falling in love with my sister after we have already mated." Reagan said to Justin, looking up at him adoringly through her long lashes. I have to admit, she really knows how to work people to do what she wants them to. Her ability to look innocent and pure is without measure, she could have been an actress.<br /> "Dad hates Raven. He will be very happy about this. He has never loved her since the day that she was born. Mom might be a little upset, but she will get over it. She and dad are chosen mates, she gave up her true mate to become the Luna of the Silver Blade pack. She did it herself, and if it is good enough for her, then it is good enough for me to do it as well. We make the perfect couple. We will have strong pups, and our pack will flourish" Reagan said, and I am stunned. I knew my dad was mean, but to hate me, why? What reason could he possibly have for hating me? My parents have told the whole pack numerous times through the years that they were true mates. They are very affectionate with each other in front of the pack. I didn't even know that they weren't true mates. What else don't I know about them?<br /> "We will do the same thing. You will have to reject Raven first thing in the morning, or after the pack meeting. But you will have to do it where no one else will hear you. Dad is going to tell the pack that we are true mates, so they will fully support us. Dad thinks that it would be a mistake to not have the pack's full support behind us when we go to take it over from my parents" Reagan said, and I am amazed at all the plans that they have kept away from me. Just another thing that shows how much difference there is between Reagan and me. I hear them touching again and wonder when they plan on leaving the area, don't they need to get back to the pack house?<br /> I narrow my eyes at Reagan, as she is ecstatic about getting to truly rub all of my misfortune in right now. Justin is getting the opportunity to reject me, so the situation that we are now in is all positive for them.<br /> "Raven, why are you out of the house? Are you supposed to be out here? Are you OK? That fall looked like it hurt pretty bad" I hear my sister ask me with an innocent look on her face like she cared about me. She was fully aware of how I am kept a prisoner here at the Silver Blade pack. I really have to get out of here. I needed to check and see how badly I am hurt because I don't know if I even have time to go pack a bag now. I may be having to leave here with nothing, but I am OK with that. I just need to get the heck out of here. I will figure out what I need to do after I am safely free of Silver Blade.<br /> "Are you ignoring me, Raven? Are you sure you want to do that to me? Fine then, I will just make sure that you get punished for leaving your room. You are not supposed to be out here anyway. I will just let dad know that you are out here, and he will take care of you" Reagan said with a smirk, and then she started mind linking. <br /> I and my wolf were running away from this pack. But they caught us immediately.<br /> "If you come back here now Raven, I won't punish you for leaving your room without permission" I heard my father tell me. <br /> "Nothing in the world could possess me to do that father," I told him, and I see his eyes glazing over as he goes to link someone. I could care less what they have to say to me, and I turned to walk away. <br /> "You will get punishment in the Blood Walker pack. You know how dangerous they are Raven, you have heard this fact for your whole life. They cannot be trusted, and you are now a rogue. We have told you, and the whole pack, exactly what happens to those who trespass on their land. The moment they scent you they will move in, and you will die today. Is that what you want? Do you want to die? I will get you more freedom in the pack. I will allow you to go to the library every day instead of once a week. How does that sound?" my mother's voice is calming and comforting. She has never before sounded as nice as this, and I know that dad put her up to try to lure me back into the Siler Blade pack. They must be desperate to do it, so I want to see how far they intended to go with it.<br /> "Let me ask you this mother. Was the plan to get Justin to take Reagan as a chosen mate her idea, or dad's?" I asked her. Mom is not a very good liar. I can see her expression as we are only about 20 feet apart from each other right now. <br /> "I don't know what you are talking about Raven, they are mates," my mom said to me, and now I smirk at her. Clearly, mom was keeping me out of the loop and doesn't know that I know for a fact that they aren't.<br /> "Thanks for always lying to me mom. That makes it so much easier on me. I will not be coming back to the Silver Blade pack. This is the last time, Goddess willing, that you all will probably see me and actually I am welcoming the death that is coming to me. It will be better than the life I have lived since Reagan tried to hurt me, and my own dad called me a liar when I told him what actually happened. Justin is not her mate mom, and I know this because he is MY mate. It is disgusting what all you three have done to me and allowed to be done to me my whole life. I never deserved to be treated the way I was. I can only hope that I can find my way and get to live a life that allows me to find someone who loves me and realizes that I am a good person. I don't think that is too much to ask for, do you mom? It seems like you and dad are willing to do anything to get me to come back over the fence, but we both know that if I did come back, I would either immediately be thrown in the cells. So, I will take my chances over here, where at least I have a chance" I told them and turned again to leave. I only made it a few steps before I was stopped again by my father's hateful words.<br /> "You are ungrateful daughter, How do you have the nerve to say that to me? I have clothed and fed you, provided you a room, and let you go to school. I did take care of you, and it is disgusting to see how you repay me. Lying about Justin being your mate. Trying to take your sister's mate away from her. I know that I can speak for your mother as well as myself when I say that we hope the Blood Walker pack disposes of you quickly. I only wish I could punish you myself" my dad roared out, and the hate was coming off of him in waves.<br /> "You disgust me father," I told him and the tone I used to draw out the word father let him know just how little I thought of him being my father. "I have never done anything to cause a problem or disruption in the pack, or in the family. I did what I was told this whole time. Even as knowing that you let the whole pack know that I was fair game if they wanted to hurt me, and they did dad, over and over again. You know what, it was my family that really took the award for the most torment. Your unwarranted hate, mom never supporting me, and my sister allowed to try to hurt me, and incite others up against me made me realize that life will be much better on this side of the border than it was on that side. Even if I only live an hour more, it would be better than the years I spent over there."<br /> I wiped off my tears and walked past them, suddenly, I hear something coming to meโฆ<br /> <br /> <br /> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><br /> Wanna listen more? download our App and check more!

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." | ForFun-120 | 72 | https://facebook.com/61554751622817 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

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. 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.

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. | Lov002 | 57 | https://facebook.com/100092720766465 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

"<br /> "Elliot, what's going on?" I look at him, then at her, and back at him.<br /> He quickly stands up from his seat. "She was just leaving. Weren't you, Clara?<br /> She bats her eyelashes rapidly. "Honey, I think it's time for her to learn the truth. Don't you agree?"<br /> Clara laughs, looking at me. "I'm the woman who slept with him yesterday and the days before."<br /> "Taylor, please let me explain." He has the nerve to plead with me, after what he did.<br /> No. I won't stay here and listen as he tries to find an excuse for what he did. <br /> "Taylor, please. I want to talk to you." He tries again.<br /> "There's nothing to talk about" I snap at him.<br /> <br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> <br /> I take the stairs to go to my apartment. Iโm so lost in my thoughts, that I donโt pay any attention to my surroundings.<br /> "Watch it!โ Someone warns me.<br /> I look up, and a man that I have never seen before is standing right in front of me. He has dark hair cut in a military style and deep blue eyes. I see tattoos on his neck that seem to go all the way down to his torso. I canโt help, but think how handsome he is. I take a step back to put some distance between us.<br /> He must be my new neighbour.<br /> I smile as I present my hand to him. โHello, my name is Taylor Walker. Whatโs yourโs?โ<br /> He glares at me as if Iโm already a nuisance to him. โAnnoyed.โ He let out as he walks past me.<br /> Rude! I say to myself before I keep walking up the stairs.<br /> I unlock the door with my keys and look through my mail. โBills. Bills. Bills.โ I mumble to myself.<br /> I will deal with them later. Right now, all I want is to take a cup of coffee before I put myself pretty for my date with Elliot.<br /> I donโt smoke or drink. My only dope is coffee. I need at least four cups per day, and thatโs when I have a good day.<br /> As I make a cup of coffee for myself, I take a disposable cup to make another one. I donโt know why I even bother with this. So why am I purring a second cup for a man I donโt even know, is beyond me.<br /> Okay, Iโll admit. I didnโt like our first encounter.<br /> I wonder if he takes sugar or milk. He seems like a man that likes his coffee black.<br /> I bite my lips nervously as I pass my threshold.<br /> Why am I doing this again? I ask myself on the way to his apartment.<br /> I know where he leaves. Heโs my next-door neighbour.<br /> I clear my throat as I knock on his door.<br /> No response.<br /> I knock again.<br /> โWhat the freak do you want?โ He snaps at me while he opens his door.<br /> My heart skips a beat. Maybe itโs because of his deep blue eyes that they keep staring at me as if they want to devour my soul or something.<br /> I smile so he wonโt notice how nervous he makes me. โUhmm, I wanted to properly welcome you to the building.โ I give him the cup of coffee that I made for him.<br /> He takes a drag at his cigar, looking at my body all the way up to my eyes. โAre you here, because you want to freak?โ<br /> My jaw drops on the floor. โWhat? No!โ I nearly scream at him.<br /> He chuckles, seeing my reaction. โThatโs what I thought.โ He starts to close the door.<br /> โWait, you could at least tell me your name.โ I wonโt back down, even if his words made me uncountable. I put my hand in my chest to give a little drama. โDonโt tell me that a man at your size is scared by a little woman like myself.โ Itโs my turn to tease him.<br /> Iโm five foot tall, and heโs like six. Heโs a mountain man.<br /> He takes the cup from my hand. โIโm not scared. Thank you for the coffee, buttercup.โ He then closes the door in my face.<br /> Argh!<br /> You donโt get to take my coffee and not answer my question.<br /> I knock on his door harder this time.<br /> โLeave me the freak alone!โ He says, glaring at me.<br /> I shake my head stubbornly. โNot until you tell me your name. Itโs rude otherwise.โ<br /> โYou wonโt leave me the freak alone, is that it?โ He let out a growl. โOwen Blake. Now Piss off!โ Once again he closes the door in my face.<br /> I smirk as I walk back to my place.<br /> I look at the time. โFreak! Iโm going to be late for my date with Elliot. I have to hurry to get ready.โ<br /> I drink my coffee in a hurry and run inside the bathroom to take a shower.<br /> Elliot and I have been together for over a year now. He wants me to move in with him, but I donโt want to. I love my independence and my apartment to give them up.<br /> I brush my teeth after my shower as a towel covers my body.<br /> As I look inside my closet, I wonder what Iโm going to wear. I think Iโm going to go with my green cocktail dress and some black heels. I decided to put light makeup on myself.<br /> I run, hearing my cell phone inside the kitchen. โHello.โ<br /> โHey, baby,โ Elliot says over the phone. โIโm sorry, but I have to reschedule our date. I have an emergency at work that I canโt get out of.โ<br /> I sigh. Itโs not the first time that this has happened.<br /> โI can always come over tomorrow.โ He suggests.<br /> โSure.โ<br /> โI am sorry, but I truly have to go now. See you tomorrow.โ He hung up before I have the chance to say goodbye to him.<br /> I just got dressed for nothing.<br /> I need some air.<br /> I grab my jacket to go upstairs to the rooftop. I love to go there and think.<br /> As I arrive, I stare up at the sky. A full moon is out tonight.<br /> I hear a noise and when I look to where it was coming from, I jump as I see a shadow not far from me.<br /> โRelax, buttercup. Itโs just me.โ He smirks, seeing my reaction.<br /> I put my hand on my chest while my heart beat fast. โGod, Owen. Warn someone before you give them a heart attack.โ<br /> He takes a drag from his cigar, as he keeps staring at me.<br /> Will he stop doing that?<br /> โYou know, one of these days, this will kill you.โ I point at what he has in between his fingers.<br /> He exhales the smoke from his lungs while his eyes try to pierce my soul.<br /> I feel nervous under his stare, but at the same time, I feel drawn to them.<br /> โWho cares how I would die. Eventually, everyone will meet their fate. Not that I care, but where are you going dressing up like that?โ<br /> I look down on myself. โI was supposed to go out on a date with my boyfriend. He cancelled at the last minute. He has an emergency at work.โ<br /> Owen licks his lips. โMaybe heโs screwing with someone as we speak.โ<br /> I cross my arms in front of me, feeling annoyed by him. โWhy are you so mean to me? I never did something to deserve this. Besides, I trust him. He would never do something like that to me.โ<br /> I take a few steps to leave but stop at the last minute. โAll I did was try to be nice to you, and thatโs what I get.โ<br /> He frowns his eyebrows. โI never asked you freak. Itโs not my problem if you canโt handle the truth.โ<br /> โUgh, Iโm leaving,โ I say as I step further away from him.<br /> โGood riddance.โ He says loud enough for me to hear him.<br /> Owenโs words start to hunt me more than they should. I trust Elliot. Heโs a good man. Iโm sure all he wanted was a reaction from me, and he succeeded.<br /> Thatโs all and nothing else.<br /> I trust Elliot. I say one more time.<br /> <br /> I look around my apartment, and Iโm satisfied with the cleaning. Iโm not a clean freak. I just love my apartment to be spotless. While I cleaned my apartment, it distracted me from what happened yesterday.<br /> <br /> Owenโs words still bother me.<br /> <br /> โ<br /> Maybe heโs screwing with someone as we speak.โ<br /> <br /> Ugh! Why did he have to say this?<br /> <br /> I know it isnโt true. I trust Elliot. When we spend time together, he never gives me the impression that heโs cheating. Heโs always a sweetheart.<br /> <br /> Iโm so lost in my thoughts that when the doorโs bell ring, I jump a little.<br /> <br /> โIt must be Elliot,โ I say to myself as I go to answer the door.<br /> <br /> โHey, baby.โ Elliot smiles at me, holding a huge bouquet of red roses in his hands.<br /> <br /> Like I said, a sweetheart.<br /> <br /> I love roses. I think they are pretty, but they arenโt my favourite kind. The flower that I love the most is called sakura in Japanese. Which means cherry blossom.<br /> <br /> โAre those for me?โ I ask him.<br /> <br /> He smirks. โWhy of course. Only the best for my girlfriend.โ<br /> <br /> โWhat did I do to deserve such a gift?โ I play along.<br /> <br /> โDo I need a reason to spoil you?โ He wonders in a playful tone. โI saw them, and I thought of you.โ<br /> <br /> Out of nowhere, someone chuckles behind Elliot. As my boyfriend moves to the side, I see Owen ready to go inside his apartment while he has an arm around a womanโs waist.<br /> <br /> Off course.<br /> <br /> โ<br /> Are you here, because you want to freak?โ<br /> I remember Owen saying those words to me.<br /> <br /> Stop thinking about this, or youโre going to blush in front of him, and FYI you arenโt interested in him. You have a boyfriend so you can forget it. I scold myself.<br /> <br /> โSo this is the boyfriend.โ Owen looks at the flower in Elliotโs hands. Thatโs what I thought.โ He laughs, guiding his guest inside his apartment.<br /> <br /> What did he mean by thatโs what I thought?<br /> <br /> Is he referring to his words from last night?<br /> <br /> Why do I even bother racking my brain over this?<br /> <br /> Owen isnโt worth my time if he's acting like a jerk.<br /> <br /> Elliot clears his throat once we are inside my place. โSo, who was that?โ<br /> <br /> I take the bouquet from his hands. โOwen Blake, my new neighbour.โ<br /> <br /> He nods his head, but he doesnโt seem happy. โWhat did he mean by that what I thought? Did you speak to him?โ<br /> <br /> I open a kitchen cabinet to grab the vase. โHeโs my new neighbour. I couldnโt ignore him.โ<br /> <br /> Even if heโs an hip.<br /> <br /> โSo.โ He rubs his chin with his fingers. โWhat did he mean when he said thatโs what I thought?โ He repeats the question.<br /> <br /> I bite my lips nervously. I donโt know how he will react if I tell him, but I canโt lie to him. That wonโt be fair. Besides, I donโt have anything to hide.<br /> <br /> I pour some water inside the vase. โI told him that you were working late last night, and he said that it was because you were cheating on me. โ<br /> <br /> He frowns. โDid you believe him?โ<br /> <br /> I shake my head. โOf course not. I know you will never do such a thing to me.โ<br /> <br /> He let out a sight. โI donโt like this.โ<br /> <br /> I turn my head to look at him. โYou donโt like what?โ<br /> <br /> He folds his arms in front of him. โHim. He seems dangerous. You should stay clear of him. Better yet, come live with me permanently.โ<br /> <br /> Not this again!<br /> <br /> We already talked about this. He knows exactly where I stand on that matter. How should I put this in words so I wonโt upset his feelings? He barely stepped inside my apartment, and we are already talking about this.<br /> <br /> Yes, we argue sometimes. We are a couple. Everyone argues sometimes.<br /> <br /> I cut the edges of the roses before I put them in the vase. โ We talked about this. Iโm not going to move in with you, just because you dislike my neighbour. Iโm a big girl, I can take care of myself.โ<br /> <br /> Freak!<br /> <br /> Was I too harsh?<br /> <br /> Elliot inhales sharply, nodding his head.<br /> <br /> I know heโs not happy with my answer, but itโs the truth. Iโm not saying. Iโm saying not right now.<br /> <br /> Maybe itโs time to change the subject?<br /> <br /> Before I have the chance to do any of that, I feel Elliotโs arms circling my waist from behind. โIโm sorry, okay? I donโt come here to argue with you.<br /> <br /> Itโs like he read my mind.<br /> <br /> I turn around to bring my arms around his neck. โSo, how was work yesterday?โ<br /> <br /> Elliot makes a face, looking at me. โI donโt want to talk about work when Iโm with you.โ<br /> <br /> Itโs not the answer that I was looking for. I canโt blame him as I didnโt give him the answer that he wanted. So I will put this matter to the side and concentrate on my boyfriend.<br /> <br /> I smile at him. โAnd do tell me, what do you have in mind?โ<br /> <br /> Elliot smirks before he pecks my lips. โTrust me, baby, I have an idea, but first I want us to go out, and then later at my place, I will show you what I have in mind.โ<br /> <br /> Yesterday, I took the time to make myself pretty for our date that didnโt even happen. If he wants to take me out, he will have to take me with what Iโm wearing.<br /> <br /> I move away from him to go grab my purse and my jacket.<br /> <br /> โAre you going to change first?โ He wonders, looking at my body.<br /> <br /> I put my hand on my waist. โAre you saying that what Iโm wearing isnโt good enough for you?<br /> <br /> โNo.โ Heโs quick to say. โIt's just that I love seeing you in a cute little dress.โ<br /> <br /> I cross my arms in front of me. โIf you havenโt ditched me yesterday, you would have seen me into one.โ<br /> <br /> โIt wasnโt my fault. I had an emergency, and you know it.โ His words raise a little as he speaks.<br /> <br /> Thatโs exactly what I wanted to avoid us arguing.<br /> <br /> I go to him and peck him on the cheek. โIโm sorry, okay. I donโt know why I said that. I know it was out of hand on my part. Can we go now?โ<br /> <br /> He leaves a peck on my forehead. โIโm sorry too.โ<br /> <br /> Elliot takes my hand in his to guide us out of my place. I guess he doesnโt want to argue either.<br /> <br /> As we walk, a noise that comes from Owenโs apartment makes me freeze on the spot.<br /> <br /> โYes! Yes! Blake, yes!โ<br /> <br /> I bite my lips. I never screamed this way when Iโm intimate with Elliot. Am I missing something? Iโm not saying that our drill life is boring, Iโve never been so loud.<br /> <br /> Is it me, or does Elliot make us walk faster than necessary?<br /> <br /> I look around after the hostess of the restaurant shows us our table. As I look around, I notice that everyone is wearing nice clothes. We are definitely in a luxury fashion restaurant.<br /> <br /> I should have probably listened to Elliot and worn something nicer.<br /> <br /> Did he do it on purpose?<br /> <br /> No, Iโm sure he didnโt. I donโt even know why it crossed my mind.<br /> <br /> As I sit on the chair, I notice that the woman whoโs sitting to my right is judging me for the way sheโs looking at me. Maybe it has something to do with what Iโm wearing. I feel undressed. Is it as if everyoneโs judging me? I clear my throat, looking at the menu instead.<br /> <br /> Elliot didnโt notice anything. Heโs on the phone with someone from his work. I donโt mind. Iโm used to it by now.<br /> <br /> โNo. No, this isnโt a good idea.โ Elliot frowns as he speaks. He doesnโt seem happy. โWe will deal with this tomorrow.โ He hung up right after.<br /> <br /> I look at him with concern. โIs everything ok?โ<br /> <br /> โMmhmm.โ He mumbles.<br /> <br /> I wonโt push on the matter. If he wants to talk about it, he will.<br /> <br /> A young woman around my age stands beside us. โHello, my name is Lucy. I will be your waitress for tonight. Are you ready to order?โ She asks with a smile on her lips.<br /> <br /> I look through the menu, and even though everything seems delicious. I decided to go with something light. โA Caesar salad for me.โ<br /> <br /> She nods her head, writing it on her pad. โAnything to drink?โ<br /> <br /> I shake my head. โNo. Just water, please.โ<br /> <br /> Lucy turns her intention to my boyfriend. โAnd you, sir?โ<br /> <br /> โIโm going to go with the lamb shanks and a bottle of your finest beverage.โ He closes the menu and gives it to her.<br /> <br /> I let out a sigh. Itโs not that Iโm bothered that he has money, but he doesnโt have to show it every time we go out. He would have brought me to a food truck for our date, and I would still enjoy myself. I donโt need much. Just spending time with him would be enough for me.<br /> <br /> Elliot takes my hand once Lucy leaves with our order. โSo, what did you do today?โ<br /> <br /> I give him a smirk. โI donโt want to talk about work. Wasnโt what you wanted?โ<br /> <br /> He let out a chuckle. โI guess I deserve that.โ<br /> <br /> I look to my right, and the woman from earlier once again is staring at me. The guy thatโs with her is trying to get her intentions, but he falls miserably.<br /> <br /> Poor guy.<br /> <br /> As Elliot looks at the same woman, I notice his expression change for only a second.<br /> <br /> Iโm about to ask him whatโs up with that when Iโm distracted by Lucy as she brings our meals.<br /> <br /> I get up from my seat. โIf youโll excuse me, Iโm going to powder my nose.โ<br /> <br /> Elliot takes my hand to leave a peck on my skin. โOk.โ<br /> <br /> Iโm not going to powder my nose. It was better to say this than say Iโm going to the toilet to do the number one. I have manners.<br /> <br /> Once Iโm finished, I look at my reflection in the mirror. The thing I love the most about me is my hair. At first, you think they are black, but when the light hits them, the brown shines through them.<br /> <br /> As I walk back to my table, I stop on my track. I see the woman from earlier sitting in my seat while she talks with Elliot. He doesnโt seem happy with her presence.<br /> <br /> Whatโs wrong with this picture? I wonder.<br /> <br /> When Elliot sees me approaching them, I see the panic in his eyes.<br /> <br /> Owenโs words from last night replay in my head.<br /> โ<br /> Maybe heโs screwing with someone as we speak.โ<br /> <br /> Am I gullible to think that Elliot isnโt cheating on me? I have to get to the bottom of this before I make any accusations. I could be wrong here. It can be nothing.<br /> <br /> โElliot, whatโs going on?โ I look at him, then at her, and back at him.<br /> <br /> He quickly stands up from his seat. โShe was just leaving. Werenโt you, Clara?<br /> <br /> She bats her eyelashes rapidly. โHoney, I think itโs time for her to learn the truth. Donโt you agree?โ<br /> <br /> I cross my arms in front of me. โAnd who exactly are you?โ<br /> <br /> I suspect whatโs going on.<br /> <br /> Clara laughs, looking at me. โIโm the woman who slept with him yesterday and the days before.โ<br /> <br /> I canโt believe this. He told me that he wasnโt cheating.<br /> <br /> I look around, and everyone is staring at us.<br /> <br /> I canโt believe what is happening.<br /> <br /> โTaylor.โ I hear Elliot says my name.<br /> <br /> I ignore him completely. I go grab my coat and purse to get out of here. On the way out I call a uber company to come and pick me up.<br /> <br /> Once Iโm outside, waiting. Someone grabs my hand, and I know who that is. Iโm quick to remove my hand from his hold.<br /> <br /> โTaylor, please let me explain.โ He has the nerve to plead with me, after what he did.<br /> <br /> No. I wonโt stay here and listen as he tries to find an excuse for what he did. I ignore him completely as I look ahead me.<br /> <br /> โTaylor, please. I want to talk to you.โ He tries again.<br /> <br /> โThereโs nothing to talk aboutโ I snap at him.<br /> <br /> โElliot, there you are.โ Clara joins us outside. โNow that she knows, we can finally be together.โ<br /> <br /> Donโt cry. I say to myself. Not here, and certainly not in front of her.<br /> <br /> He turns to look at her to ask her to leave. An argument between them starts, and thankfully, I see the uber appear on the road.<br /> <br /> Neither of them notices that I get in the uber.<br /> <br /> All I want is to go home. A tear falls down my cheek as I try to keep it at bay. The driver doesnโt seem to be effective in my situation. Iโm sure in his line of work he saw this a lot of times.<br /> <br /> I stand in front of my door with the keys in my hand. I donโt want to go in. Something tells me that Elliot is on his way to talk to me. I donโt want to see him.<br /> <br /> A stupid idea coss my mind.<br /> <br /> Iโm sure that Iโm going to regret this, but for now, itโs my best option. Elliot will never think to search for me there.<br /> <br /> I walk until Iโm in front of Owenโs door and knock on it.<br /> <br /> Freak! Maybe the girl that he was with is still with him.<br /> <br /> Iโm about to turn around as I change my mind when his door opens.<br /> <br /> He frowns at me. โItโs you again.โ<br /> <br /> โIโm sorry to bother you.โ I feel shy under his stare.<br /> <br /> I donโt know why Iโm standing here. I donโt even know the guy. I swallow my pride. โCan I come in, please? I argued with Eliott, and Iโm not ready to face him yet.โ<br /> <br /> To my surprise, he opens his door wider, just enough for me to enter his place. | Red111 | 15 | https://facebook.com/61554959872521 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

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." | ForFun-120 | 72 | https://facebook.com/61554751622817 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | 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. 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 /> "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 | Vam005 | 30 | https://facebook.com/61550884130918 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

I'm booking the next 15 people who click this ad for a Free Neuropathy Consultation! Peripheral Neuropathy refers to conditions that result when nerves carrying messages from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body are damaged or inflamed. When these nerves are damaged, we can experience endless Burning ๐ฅ, Numbness and Tingling, Chronic Pain ๐ค and even Loss of Balance. ๐ There are several kinds of Peripheral Neuropathies and they can stem from a variety of causes ranging from carpal tunnel syndrome (entrapment), traumatic injury (such as motor vehicle accidents, slip and fall, or sports/work related accidents), restricted blood flow, deteriorating joints, pesticide exposure, to toxic levels of sugar in the blood (causing nerve damage linked to diabetes). In your Neuropathy Screening you will get answers to the following questions: โ What is the underlying cause of the nerve damage? โ How severe is my condition? โ Are other conditions contributing? โ What types of nerves have damage? โ How much treatment do nerves require to heal? The underlying cause is different for every patient and must be understood in order to help the nerves heal and get us back to a normal life. This is why ๐๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ ๐ก๐ฒ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐๐ต๐ ๐๐ผ๐ป๐๐๐น๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ 15 new ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐บ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ต!

Aspirin isnโt taken to thin the blood while on ephedrine, it actually potentiates the thermogenic effects of ephedrine by antagonizing prostaglandins. This is similar to how aspirin increases ephedrineโs effects by antagonizing adenosine. <br /> <br /> ==========================<br /> ๐ฅ Link in Bio for Coaching, Ebooks, Merch, and More!<br /> ๐ฉธ Blood Work and Analysis<br /> ๐ด Sleep Apnea Screening<br /> ==========================<br /> โฃโฃโฃโฃ<br /> Use code Troponin for 10% off on blood work at Marek Labs.

"Congratulations! You are going to be a mom."<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Mitchel Dixon pinched her arm. His low voice came the next second. "Come back to earth. What are you thinking about?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel was her husband. They had been married secretly for two years. He was her superior at work, the president of the Dixon Group. <br /> <br /> Everything had happened so fast. She was newly employed in the company when they unexpectedly got married. <br /> <br /> At that time, Mitchel's grandfather fell seriously ill. It was then he proposed a fake marriage just to fulfill his grandfather's dying wish. <br /> <br /> They signed a prenup, agreeing to hide their marriage from the public. Their union could be terminated at any time. <br /> <br /> It was an unconventional thing to do. However, Raegan only considered herself lucky at that time. <br /> <br /> Never in a million years did she think she would ever get married to the man she had a crush on for eight years. She delightfully agreed. <br /> <br /> After their marriage, Mitchel was very busy. He spent most of his time working. <br /> <br /> Raegan wished she could spend more time with him at home. However, she was rest assured because there hadn't been any rumors or scandals about him with women in the past two years. <br /> <br /> Except for his mild indifference, Mitchel was a perfect husband. <br /> <br /> Raegan had mixed feelings as she stared at the medical report. <br /> <br /> In the end, she decided to tell Mitchel this news. <br /> <br /> She also wanted to tell him that she hadn't learned about him for the first time two years ago and that she had been crushing on him for many years before then. <br /> <br /> Just then, Mitchelโs phone rang. He went to the balcony and answered the phone. <br /> <br /> Raegan checked the time and found that it was already midnight. <br /> <br /> She felt a little uneasy. Who would call Mitchel at this hour? <br /> <br /> Mitchel spent a few minutes on the balcony. Thereafter, he returned and changed into formal attire. His handsome face which had a clear outline made him look dignified. <br /> <br /> He was something to see now. <br /> <br /> "Don't wait up for me. Good night," he said finally. <br /> <br /> What? He was on his way out? At this hour? <br /> <br /> Raegan's grip on the report tightened as she stared at him in disappointment. Unconsciously, she withdrew slightly. After thinking for a while, she blurted out, "It's already so late."<br /> <br /> Mitchel's fingers froze on his tie. With a faint smile, he pinched her earlobe and said, "Be good, okay? There's something I have to do. Don't wait up."<br /> <br /> With that, he headed for the door. <br /> <br /> "Mitchel."<br /> <br /> Raegan quickly ran and caught up with him. <br /> <br /> Mitchel turned around and looked at her seriously. <br /> <br /> "What's the matter?"<br /> <br /> There was a tinge of coldness to his voice. An icy cloud hung over them as they stared at each other. <br /> <br /> A little distressed, Raegan asked in a low voice, "I would like to visit my grandma tomorrow. Can you accompany me there?"<br /> <br /> Her grandmother always wanted to see her. As a result, Raegan wanted to take Mitchel there to assure her grandma they were happy. <br /> <br /> "Let's talk about it tomorrow, okay?" Without agreeing or declining, Mitchel left in a hurry. <br /> <br /> Several thoughts were threading Raegan's mind. She couldn't sleep a wink. <br /> <br /> After tossing and turning for a long time, she went to the kitchen and made herself a warm glass of milk. <br /> <br /> A few notifications from some online blogs came into her phone. <br /> <br /> However, she wasn't interested in them. She was about to swipe them away when one of them caught her attention. The familiar name made her click on it. <br /> <br /> The news read, "Famous designer, Lauren Murray was spotted at the airport with her mysterious boyfriend earlier today."<br /> <br /> Lauren was wearing a bucket hat. The man's figure was vague, but the outline of his body was enough to show that he was dashing. <br /> <br /> Raegan zoomed in on the picture. The next second, her heart dropped. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was the man in the picture! <br /> <br /> So, he canceled the afternoon meeting just to go pick up his ex-girlfriend from the airport? <br /> <br /> This realization settled like a boulder in Raegan's gut, rendering her flustered. <br /> <br /> Her hands trembled. Subconsciously, she dialed Mitchel's number. <br /> <br /> The dial tone brought her back to her senses. Just as she was about to hang up, the line connected, and a voice came from the other end. <br /> <br /> "Hello!"<br /> <br /> It was a particularly gentle woman's voice. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a second and then threw the phone away. <br /> <br /> She suddenly felt sick in her stomach. Covering her mouth, she ran into the bathroom and threw up in the toilet bowl. <br /> <br /> The next morning, Raegan went to work on time. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had tried to get her to stop working after they got married. Stubbornly, she insisted on making her own money. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't kick against her decision, but he asked her to work as his assistant, helping him with the daily chores. <br /> <br /> The head assistant, Matteo Jenkins was left to take care of the major affairs Mitchel had. <br /> <br /> Matteo was the only Dixon Group employee who knew about their marriage. <br /> <br /> Since inception, only male assistants were hired for the president's office. Reagan was the first and only female. Her employment broke the protocol. As a result, other workers couldn't help but wonder if she was involved with Mitchel. <br /> <br /> It took a while before they realized that Mitchel never gave Raegan special treatment. Strangely, this made them despise her even more. <br /> <br /> After all, no one would last long in anything while taking advantage of their looks.<br /> <br /> At this time, one of Raegan's colleagues handed her a document and ordered her to take it to Mitchel's office. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't return home last night. Raegan was so worried that she didn't sleep at all. <br /> <br /> All she kept thinking about was the woman who answered his phone when she called. What was her relationship with Mitchel?<br /> <br /> Raegan already knew the answer to that, but she was still in denial. <br /> <br /> It was difficult for her to come to terms with that fact. <br /> <br /> Raegan tried to remain calm now. She reasoned that no matter what happened, she deserved a result that would be rewarding for all the years she spent loving Mitchel. This couldn't be all for nothing, right? <br /> <br /> She pressed the elevator button calmly and went up to the president's office. Before she walked out of the elevator, she smoothed her hair to make sure she looked good. <br /> <br /> She had arrived at the office, only to see that the door was ajar. A man's voice came. She halted instantly. <br /> <br /> "Come on, man! Do you have any feelings for Raegan or not?"<br /> <br /> The voice belonged to Luis Stevens, a childhood friend of Mitchel's. <br /> <br /> "What do you mean exactly?" Mitchel asked in a cold voice. <br /> <br /> "You know exactly what I mean!" Luis clicked his tongue impatiently and added, "I think Raegan is a good girl. Isn't she your type?"<br /> <br /> "Do you want me to hand her over to you?" Mitchel asked carelessly. <br /> <br /> "You know what, forget it!"<br /> <br /> The scornful laughter of Luis sounded particularly harsh in Raegan's ears. <br /> <br /> They were talking about her as if she were an object. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and tightened her grip on the document. <br /> <br /> Soon, Luis's voice was heard again. <br /> <br /> "By the way, I saw the gossip news about Lauren's mysterious boyfriend this morning. That was you, right?"<br /> <br /> "Yes."<br /> <br /> "Well, well, well! That woman still has you wrapped around her little finger. You always want to please her."<br /> <br /> Luis sighed and continued to tease Mitchel. "As the old saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Tell me, did you two..."<br /> <br /> Their conversation was like a thunder exploding over Raegan's head. <br /> <br /> Her face turned pale and her body was as cold as ice. <br /> <br /> The woman was indeed Lauren! <br /> <br /> Absence made the heart grow fonder! <br /> <br /> Every word drove a knife into her heart. <br /> <br /> Several whispering voices filled her head at this time. She suddenly felt light-headed. Her vision became blurry. <br /> <br /> She held the wall and took a step backward. Suddenly, the door was opened from inside. <br /> <br /> "Raegan?"<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 2 One-sided Love<br /> <br /> Luis was the one who opened the door. It appeared he was on his way out. <br /> <br /> Raegan balled her hands, turned to him, and nodded. "Hey, Mr. Stevens!"<br /> <br /> Without waiting for him to respond to her greeting, she walked past him and entered the office with the document. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was seated behind a large luxurious desk. In an expensive suit and matching tie, he looked particularly handsome. <br /> <br /> Raegan noticed it wasn't the same suit he had on when he left home last night. How did he get changed? <br /> <br /> With her eyes lowered, she swallowed that question and said instead, "Mr. Dixon, this is from the Marketing Department. Please sign it."<br /> <br /> Mitchel was expressionless as he signed the document at a glance. <br /> <br /> Raegan walked out the door as soon as he handed the document back to her. Luis was still standing at the threshold. <br /> <br /> It wasn't until she went out of sight that Luis turned to Mitchel and said in a hushed tone, "Do you think she heard us?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel's appealing eyes were expressionless at the moment. Obviously, he wasn't paying attention to what Luis was saying. <br /> <br /> To Mitchel, Raegan had always been docile and never felt jealous of anyone. <br /> <br /> Her strict obedience was all Mitchel demanded from her in exchange for treating her well. <br /> <br /> In the elevator. <br /> <br /> Raegan held her breath just to hold back her tears. Unfortunately, it didn't work. <br /> <br /> She had thought two years would be enough for Mitchel to realize how much she loved him and reciprocate her love. <br /> <br /> Now, it turned out that was just a pipe dream. <br /> <br /> She realized she would always play second fiddle to Lauren, Mitchel's true love. <br /> <br /> Reagan wiped her tears when the elevator halted. Save for her pale face, she looked normal when the doors opened. <br /> <br /> She dragged herself to the break room, intending to make herself a cup of tea. <br /> <br /> Several employees were chatting inside. <br /> <br /> "Guys, have you heard? Lauren Murray is back."<br /> <br /> "And who is that?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, my! You don't know her? Lauren is the heiress of the Murray Group as well as a world-class designer. Most importantly, she's the only girlfriend Mr. Dixon has ever shown off in public. She's his first love!"<br /> <br /> "Why is her return such a big deal? Isn't it rumored that there is something between Mr. Dixon and Raegan?"<br /> <br /> "Raegan? She's nothing to Mr. Dixon. Mr. Dixon never admitted that he was dating her. And that is no surprise to me. After all, look at her. She's not even that beautiful. Yet, she behaves as if she's already Mrs. Dixon. What a fool!"<br /> <br /> Standing at the door, Raegan smiled with self-mockery as she listened to them. It turned out everyone else saw the truth except her. <br /> <br /> The love was one-sided. <br /> <br /> "Ha-ha, have you finally woken up from your wild dream, Raegan?"<br /> <br /> A voice of mockery suddenly came from behind. Raegan turned around to see Tessa Lloyd, Mitchel's cousin, who had always despised her. <br /> <br /> Tessa must have also heard the employees gossiping. <br /> <br /> The last thing Raegan wanted to do now was argue with Tessa in the company. She turned to leave, but Tessa blocked her way. <br /> <br /> With a cup of coffee in her hand, Tessa uttered sarcastically, "Lauren is back now. Do you think Mitchel will still give you any attention?"<br /> <br /> Raegan said nothing to that. <br /> <br /> Seconds later, Tessa continued the ridicule. "Maybe itโs time for you to seek out another man, you pathetic fool."<br /> <br /> Raegan clenched her fists and said coldly, "Ms. Lloyd, if you are interested in that kind of thing, feel free to pursue it yourself."<br /> <br /> "You..."<br /> <br /> Raegan's retort made Tessa's face change. <br /> <br /> The next second, Tessa raised her hand and emptied the cup of coffee on Raegan. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn't think for a second that Tessa would do something so crazy. She held up her arms just to block the liquid from her face. In no time, the coffee drenched her clothes. <br /> <br /> Raegan frowned. "What did you do that for? Are you out of your mind?"<br /> <br /> It was lunch break and many employees were free to watch the drama. Tessa was even more complacent when she saw growing onlookers. <br /> <br /> She put on a mean-girl look as she said, "What makes you so smug every day, huh? Do you seriously think that others don't know you are just an orphan? The nerve of..."<br /> <br /> Tessa was silenced by Raeganโs shove. <br /> <br /> Her jaw dropped to the floor. She had never expected that Raegan, who was so quiet and timid, would shove her. <br /> <br /> Tessa stuttered, "You... You pushed me? How dare you!"<br /> <br /> Raegan eyed her and replied, "Yes, I did! It seems you need to be taught simple politeness."<br /> <br /> Indeed, she lost her parents when she was a child. But that didn't mean she would allow someone to walk over her for it. <br /> <br /> Wrinkles appeared on Tessa's face as she frowned in anger. As Mitchel's cousin, she was used to being fawned over and respected. This was the first time she had been treated like this. <br /> <br /> Tessa charged at Raegan like a raging bull, poised to retaliate. <br /> <br /> This time, Raegan was fully prepared for what was coming. She grabbed Tessa's wrist so that the latter couldn't move another inch. <br /> <br /> Tessa was shorter than Raegan. As a result, she struggled like an octopus that had one of its tentacles stuck in a fishing trap. <br /> <br /> Tessa cursed angrily, "How dare you put your hands on me? Who do you think you are?"<br /> <br /> These harsh words attracted more people to the break room. <br /> <br /> "That's enough!"<br /> <br /> Out of the blue, a baritone came from behind. Mitchel had left his office and ran into this hullabaloo. <br /> <br /> The entire room fell silent. <br /> <br /> "Mitchel?" Tessa's blood ran cold at the sight of Mitchel. She had always been scared of him. Her mother also warned her against provoking him. <br /> <br /> But when she remembered that Raegan humiliated her, she put on a pitiful expression and sobbed. "Mitchel, she bullied me."<br /> <br /> The sunlight from outside fell on Mitchel's handsome face. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt so grieved all of a sudden, and lowered her head to look at her clothes which were soaked with coffee. <br /> <br /> Their gaze met in the air. With a deep frown, Mitchel looked at Raegan and said, "Raegan, have you forgotten the rules of the company?"<br /> <br /> His ruthlessness made Raegan's breathing cease. She couldn't believe her ears. <br /> <br /> No one dared to make a sound at this moment. <br /> <br /> Raegan just stood straight there with her slender figure. <br /> <br /> When she got employed here, Mitchel had told her that the Dixon Group wasn't a place for her to mess around and that he would not tolerate her making any mistakes. <br /> <br /> Raegan could understand why he took this stand. <br /> <br /> However, at this moment, she was desperate to know whether Mitchel had heard those hard words Tessa scolded her or he was just pretending not to have heard because he agreed to those words. <br /> <br /> Was she truly insignificant to him?<br /> <br /> Scared to death by Mitchel's rage, the crowd soon dispersed. A few employees were bold enough to peep from a distance, unwilling to miss the good show. <br /> <br /> Mitchel's cold eyes made Raegan shiver from head to toe. <br /> <br /> Raegan pinched her palm to suppress her emotions as she looked at Tessa. <br /> <br /> "I'm sorry, Ms. Lloyd. As an employee of the Dixon Group, it was wrong of me to have offended you."<br /> <br /> Eyeing Raegan, Tessa raised her chin complacently. "Humph! Don't think you'll be let off the hook just by making a simple apology. I don't buy..."<br /> <br /> "The offence has nothing to do with the company. Personally, I refuse to apologize to you. Now, if you'd excuse me," Raegan chimed in. <br /> <br /> She then walked past Mitchel without sparing him another look. <br /> <br /> "You..."<br /> <br /> Tessa's face turned blue after hearing what Raegan said. <br /> <br /> Never in her years of being alive had she been so humiliated. She was always the bully, not the victim! <br /> <br /> The humiliation was so much that scolding Raegan wouldn't appease her anger. <br /> <br /> Pointing in Raegan's direction, Tessa shouted, "Mitchel, did you hear what that woman just said? She humiliated me, yet she's still so arrogant. Call her back. I have to teach her some manners!"<br /> <br /> Mitchel, staring at Raegan's thin back, had an ambiguous expression at this moment. <br /> <br /> "Enough!" he said coldly, raising his hand. <br /> <br /> As someone who lived and breathed drama and cruelty, Tessa didn't think Mitchel was partial to Raegan just now. She assumed that Mitchel didn't care about Raegan at all. <br /> <br /> Tessa gritted her teeth and said viciously, "Next time, I'll get someone to teach her a lesson."<br /> <br /> "Tessa!" Mitchel's tone and squint made it a reproof. <br /> <br /> Tessa trembled at once. <br /> <br /> With a somber face, Mitchel said, "I'll only say it once. Forget about what happened here today. Leave Raegan alone."<br /> <br /> The aura he exuded made her tongue go dry. All the vicious ideas she had in store against Raegan disappeared in an instant. <br /> <br /> She stammered, "Ok... Okay, got it..."<br /> <br /> Mitchel cast a cold glance at her and spoke to Matteo. "Irrelevant people wouldn't be allowed in here from today onwards."<br /> <br /> Without catching the drift, Tessa flattered Mitchel. "Nice call. This is a top company. Not everyone gains access in here."<br /> <br /> Matteo nodded to Mitchel and then walked over to Tessa. He gestured to the exit. "Ms. Lloyd, this way, please."<br /> <br /> It wasn't until this moment that Tessa realized that she was the irrelevant person Mitchel just mentioned. She tried to speak to him, but Matteo blocked her way. The security guards then escorted her out. <br /> <br /> They showed her no mercy. Her struggle was useless. <br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Raegan got changed when she returned to her office. <br /> <br /> Her heart was filled with sadness as she thought of how Mitchel looked at her minutes ago. <br /> <br /> Closing hour soon rolled by. <br /> <br /> Raegan took her bag and headed for the exit. However, Matteo stopped her. <br /> <br /> He said, "Mr. Dixon has something urgent to deal with, so he asked me to drive you home."<br /> <br /> Raegan declined the ride without thinking twice. <br /> <br /> She was blind before, but now she could see through the situation. <br /> <br /> In Mitchel's eyes, she was just a nobody. <br /> <br /> How could Mitchel agree to accompany her to visit her grandmother when he didn't even care about her? <br /> <br /> Upon arriving at the hospital, Raegan saw that the nurse was about to feed her grandmother dinner. Raegan took the job over and did it by herself. <br /> <br /> All her life, her grandmother had been living in the countryside, enjoying a quiet life. Everything changed last month when her routine medical checkup showed that she was in need of medical care. Raegan insisted on bringing her to the city for better treatment. <br /> <br /> Her grandmother wasn't aware of her marriage to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> Raegan had planned to surprise her today. But as it turned out, that was no longer necessary. <br /> <br /> Raegan waited for her grandmother to fall asleep before she left. She walked out of the hospital and waited for a taxi. <br /> <br /> In the distance, a black luxury car pulled into the entrance of the hospital. <br /> <br /> Raegan's eyes lit up when she saw it. She recognized that car as Mitchel's. <br /> <br /> Did he come to pick her up? <br /> <br /> At this moment, she forgot all the pain she had been feeling. <br /> <br /> Were her thoughts about him all wrong? Did he care for her, contrary to the gossip? <br /> <br /> The door of the driver's side opened and Mitchel got out. <br /> <br /> Raegan started walking toward him with her heart brimming with joy. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, she stopped dead in her tracks. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had just walked over to the other side and carried a woman out of the car. <br /> <br /> Worry and compassion were written all over his handsome face. <br /> <br /> This wiped the smile on Raegan's face. Her heart sank. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 3 Let's Divorce<br /> <br /> Mitchel's tall and straight figure got closer and closer to Raegan. And then, without saying a word, he strode past Raegan. <br /> <br /> It was hard to tell if Mitchel saw Raegan or just ignored her. <br /> <br /> Regardless, Raegan noticed that the woman in his arms was the same one who had been photographed with him yesterday. <br /> <br /> She was Lauren. <br /> <br /> Raegan's shoes felt like they were made of lead as she walked away. <br /> <br /> She lost all awareness of her surroundings. She got into a taxi absentmindedly. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, the driver uttered, "Ma'am, where to?"<br /> <br /> Raegan was stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> She didn't want to go back to Serenity Villas. It was only a matter of time before that place stopped being her home. <br /> <br /> After a while, she replied, "Please take me to Crystal Bay."<br /> <br /> She had purchased an apartment at Crystal Bay after getting married to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> At the time, she had hopes of bringing her grandmother to the city, so she bought the apartment on mortgage. It wasn't that big, but it had more than enough space for two people. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't understand why she wanted to buy an apartment. He offered to give her a bigger one, but she declined. <br /> <br /> Looking back now, she realized that buying that apartment was the only wise decision she had ever made in the last two years. <br /> <br /> When she arrived at the apartment complex, Raegan sat in the park alone, trying to cool herself down. <br /> <br /> The memories of the past two years were bittersweet. <br /> <br /> Two years had passed in the blink of an eye even though it was more than seven hundred days and nights. <br /> <br /> Love could move mountains, they said. <br /> <br /> Yet, her love didn't move that stone of a man. She finally realized what a fool she had been. She had been making herself a laughingstock in front of everyone. <br /> <br /> It was already late in the night before Raegan finally decided to go into her apartment. <br /> <br /> As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Mitchel standing in front of the door. <br /> <br /> His sleeves were rolled up casually, and the top buttons of his shirt were undone, which revealed his long neck and part of his collarbone. He was leaning on the wall by the door, his handsome face straight. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a moment. <br /> <br /> Why was he here? Didn't she see him at the hospital with Lauren? What brought him here? <br /> <br /> Their eyes met. With his coat draped over his arm and one of his hands in his pocket, Mitchel squinted at her. <br /> <br /> "Why didn't you answer the phone?" he asked, sounding a little grumpy like someone who hadn't slept in a long time. <br /> <br /> Raegan took out her phone and saw she had accidentally put it on DND. <br /> <br /> There were five missed calls from Mitchel. <br /> <br /> This marked the first time in their two-year marriage. <br /> <br /> Mitchel blew up her phone because he couldn't find her? Surprising! <br /> <br /> Before today, she would have been overjoyed by this. People would've thought she won the lottery. <br /> <br /> But now, she just threw her phone back into her bag, folded her arms, and said in a hoarse voice, "I didn't hear it ring."<br /> <br /> Mitchel raised his hand to check the time on the watch, and said impatiently, "I've been looking for you for two hours."<br /> <br /> After arranging everything for Lauren, he returned home to find an empty house. He looked for Raegan everywhere. When he couldn't find her, he asked Matteo to check the surveillance footage of all the roads that led away from the company. <br /> <br /> He later found out that Raegan went to Crystal Bay without telling him. <br /> <br /> "Next time, tell me when you are coming here, okay? Let's go home now." After that, Mitchel walked toward the elevator without sparing her another glance. <br /> <br /> He meant to go back to Serenity Villas. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn't move an inch. She just stared at his broad back and pondered reluctantly. <br /> <br /> Would they have a future? <br /> <br /> Mitchell turned around, only to see that Raegan hadn't taken a single step. He frowned and asked, "Can't you walk? Do you want me to carry you instead?"<br /> <br /> The light in the corridor illuminated his face, making his side profile almost impeccable. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and said, "Let's divorce."<br /> <br /> "What do you mean?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel's voice was cold, and his handsome face changed immediately. <br /> <br /> "I want to move into my own place. After all, we will be strangers soon."<br /> <br /> Raegan forced a smile, but her heart was aching as if someone was tearing it apart bit by bit. <br /> <br /> "We will be strangers?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel smiled coldly. "Raegan, what do you think our relationship is now?"<br /> <br /> His questioning left Raegan stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had made it very clear to her from the very beginning. This facade of their marriage had happened by mutual agreement. There was no love. In the eyes of others, they were nothing more than just a superior and a subordinate. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was quite the catch in Ardlens. Many young ladies longed for his love and were even willing to throw themselves at him. <br /> <br /> His question just now reminded her of that fact. Was he afraid that she wouldn't let him go that easily? If that was the case, he couldn't be more wrong... <br /> <br /> After biting her lower lip to conceal her bitterness, Raegan said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Dixon. I was giving it too much thought. Anyway, please leave me alone from now on. You don't have to come here again."<br /> <br /> After saying that, Raegan couldn't help but burst into tears. <br /> <br /> How could she not be sad when she was cutting ties with the man she had loved for a decade? It was such a long time. <br /> <br /> Regardless of how difficult it was, she knew it was time to let go. <br /> <br /> It was high time she stopped being a fool. <br /> <br /> Strangely, the light in the corridor began flickering. <br /> <br /> The deathly stare Mitchel was giving Raegan right now made the atmosphere seem like the moment before an attack in a horror movie. <br /> <br /> Although he understood that Raegan sometimes could throw a tantrum, he felt that she had just crossed the line now. <br /> <br /> His eyes shone like blazing torches at this moment. But when he saw the tears in her eyes, the rage inside him extinguished in an instant. He said in a low voice, "If this is about what happened between you and Tessa, I..."<br /> <br /> "No, this isn't about her. Mr. Dixon, please leave now."<br /> <br /> A lot of things happened between them. And the incident with Tessa didn't come close to any. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt exhausted. She passed by Mitchel and was about to open the door. <br /> <br /> Yet, Mitchel was displeased with her stubbornness. <br /> <br /> He loosened his tie irritably. He then took a step forward and grabbed her wrist. <br /> <br /> "Stop this, will you?"<br /> <br /> A second later, he put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his arms. <br /> <br /> He instantly realized that she was burning up like someone who had been set on fire. <br /> <br /> "You have a fever?"<br /> <br /> Raegan felt dizzy. She rested her head on his chest weakly. <br /> <br /> This made the whole situation complicated. <br /> <br /> Reagan was slow to catch that. When she finally realized that her body was too close to his, she put her hands against his chest and tried to pull back. <br /> <br /> Before she could escape, Mitchel pulled her back and held her by the waist. With a cold face, he said in a low voice, "Where do you think you are going?"<br /> <br /> The light flickered again. Out of the blue, Mitchel lifted her up. <br /> <br /> He then headed for the elevator. <br /> <br /> In a daze, Raegan asked softly, "What are you doing?"<br /> <br /> "What does it look like I am doing?" Mitchel remarked. "Taking you to the hospital, of course."<br /> <br /> "No way!" Raegan cried out in surprise and seemed to regain more strength. <br /> <br /> Mitchel might find out about her condition if they went to the hospital.<br /> <br /> Raegan struggled to get out of Mitchel's arms. However, his tight grip made her efforts fruitless. <br /> <br /> "Don't be so stubborn. You are sick, so you must see the doctor," Mitchel said firmly. <br /> <br /> He walked to the elevator with her in his arms. At this moment, Raegan's heart was thumping so hard that it could jump out of her chest. She flailed in protest. <br /> <br /> "Put me down!

I was on the brink of losing my mobility and independence ๐ฎ<br /> <br /> At 59, the next eight years turned into an unrelenting search for relief from the excruciating back pain, particularly in my lower back. Despite trying every possible solution, the pain was relentless.<br /> <br /> It was painful to watch my grandchildren grow up while I struggled to be part of those precious moments ๐ญ<br /> <br /> After consulting countless specialists and spending thousands on various therapies and procedures without finding relief...<br /> <br /> I found myself engulfed in despair, utterly powerless.<br /> <br /> Then, on a Friday night, while scrolling through my Facebook feed, I came across a "special video." It talked about a groundbreaking discovery that had helped tens of thousands deal with severe cases of back pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, and other related issues...<br /> <br /> Notably, the researchers introduced a simple 20-second technique that promised to reverse damage and alleviate 90% of back pain and arthritis cases.<br /> <br /> This approach surpassed addictive pain medications or risky back surgeries, as it targeted the pain nerve fibers deep within tissues, addressing the root cause of back and joint pain.<br /> <br /> Despite my skepticism, I thought it was worth a try; I was desperate to get rid of that unbearable pain...<br /> <br /> So, I started applying this technique for 20 seconds every night...<br /> <br /> Quickly, I felt a sense of relief throughout my spine, and the pain began to fade...<br /> <br /> Two weeks later, I experienced a dramatic change... I felt rejuvenated, finally able to keep up with my grandchildren ๐<br /> <br /> My life brightened, and my husband was always close by... lol โค๏ธโ๐ฅ I had finally regained my freedom!<br /> <br /> Discovering this method was a miracle... It truly answered my prayers...๐<br /> <br /> Click "Learn More" to see how this method transformed my life. | Alexia Jhon | 1 | https://facebook.com/61558382237962 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714719600 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

This can cause restriction in normal tongue movement and prevent the tongue from functioning properly.ย ย <br /> โข<br /> Some of the consequences of the tongue-tie include, but are not limited to: shallow latching, painful nursing, slow and poor weight gain for the baby, often diagnosed as โFailure-to-Thriveโ without any underlying medical condition ๐ฅ However, this is not the end, as these children continue to grow, their restricted tongue movement can cause speech delay or difficulty producing certain sounds likeย T, D, Z, S, TH, SH, or R.ย <br /> โข<br /> We can easily treat the tongue-tie and restore the normal function of the tongue by using a CO2 laser. The benefit of using a laser for the frenectomy procedure is that itโs extremely precise and because the laser seals up the blood vessels and nerve endings during the procedure, there is minimal to no bleeding at all ๐๐ป Because there is no bleeding, stitches are not needed. The procedure itself takes only 30-40 seconds, and there is no need for general anesthesia ๐คฉ๐๐ป<br /> โข<br /> Ready to give your child the best start possible?

The young billionaire whispered with his hand grabbing Isabella's, who was in a wedding gown.<br /> "Do you need me to help you seek revenge? Whether it's the scumbag who betrayed you or your stepmother, they're nothing in front of me."<br /> Isabella looked at the handsome man in front of her and nodded.<br /> "Marry me, and we'll let them regret it for the rest of their lives."<br /> <br /> Chapter 1 Betrayal<br /> Up on the massive screen, a couple in their birthday suits were all tangled up, getting hot and heavy, and the surround sound was blasting every moan and breath.<br /> <br /> The lady had curves for days and her skin was mad smooth. Then there came a close-up of their faces.<br /> <br /> Isabella Sorenson was struck dumb, staring up at the screen, and she felt like she'd just been punched in the gut. The naked couple were none other than her main squeeze Zachary Winslow and her bestie Scarlett Pearson.<br /> <br /> And no joke, they were both right there next to her because today was supposed to be Isabella and Zachary's engagement party.<br /> <br /> Just a second before, that screen was showing cute throwbacks of Zachary and Isabella growing up together, while some dude was talking all mushy about it. It went from little Isabella at three to Zachary at seven, and then instead of more childhood pictures, the screen switched to the hookup video.<br /> <br /> "Ah!" Scarlett let out a scream and threw her arms around Zachary.<br /> <br /> Now, if anybody was still clueless about who were up on that screen, everything was out in the open. While Isabella was stuck on the spot, Zachary was hugging Scarlett.<br /> <br /> The whole place exploded with whispers and gasps.<br /> <br /> "Yo, ain't that Isabella's ride-or-die?" one guest whispered.<br /> <br /> "Seriously, Ms. Sorenson got played?" chimed in another.<br /> <br /> "Yo, check out that bod!" somebody else hollered.<br /> <br /> "What's going on?" Isabella's father, Nathan Ingram, was freaking out, trying to cover up the screen, but this screen was enormous. Though he was like pushing six feet, he looked straight-up silly trying to block it.<br /> <br /> Terence Winslow, Zachary's father, was beet red but he bolted toward the control room to turn off the screen.<br /> <br /> Scarlett, her eyes leaking like a faucet, hit Isabella with the puppy dog eyes. "Isabella, didn't you pinky swear to let this go? I promised I'd ditch Zachary and leave town the second you're engaged. Why you gotta blast this now? Are you trying to ruin me?"<br /> <br /> When Scarlett clung to Zachary, he looked kinda red-faced but went wide-eyed the second he heard what Scarlett said. Holding her firmly, he asked, "What are you saying, Scarlett? Isabella forced you to leave?"<br /> <br /> It was as if a bomb had detonated within Isabella's mind, leaving her stunned and disoriented. She stared blankly at Zachary, her childhood sweetheart. Ever since she could remember, Isabella had made up her mind to spend the rest of her life with Zachary.<br /> <br /> 'When did he and Scarlett become a thing? And when did I ever agree not to pursue this matter? What's going on here? What are they talking about?' Isabelle wondered.<br /> <br /> "How could you be so vicious, setting up your own fiancรฉ and best friend?" Zachary's sister, Megan Winslow, shoved Isabella on the shoulder.<br /> <br /> Isabella, in a daze, didn't see that coming and staggered backward until she ended up right beside Nathan.<br /> <br /> Nathan was filled with fury. Raising his hand, he slapped her in the face. "Look at what you've done! You've brought disgrace upon both our families!"<br /> <br /> Before Isabella could even regain her balance, she was knocked to the ground by the slap. Zachary grew anxious and instinctively wanted to help her up, but Scarlett tightened her grip on his arm.<br /> <br /> Isabella turned and caught a glance of the smugness in Scarlett's eyes.<br /> <br /> "How can you hit your child? Come on, get up, Isabella." A voice was heard as a pair of hands helped Isabella to her feet.<br /> <br /> Terence sighed, "Isabella, don't blame your father. What you did was really out of line."<br /> <br /> Lorelai Winslow, Zachary's mother, pointed at Scarlett and said, "Where did you come from? You must have seduced my son. Get out of here! I'll never let you become part of our family!"<br /> <br /> Scarlett hid behind Zachary like a scared puppy.<br /> <br /> Zachary positioned himself protectively in front of Scarlett, his voice firm as he addressed his mother. "Mom, don't blame Scarlett. Isabella, she's your best friend. You can't push her to the brink like this!"<br /> <br /> With Terence's support, Isabella finally got back to her feet. A solitary tear traced its path down her cheek. As she gazed up at Zachary, the man she had loved for most of her life, she realized he had become a stranger in the blink of an eye.<br /> <br /> 'Scarlett's supposed to be my best friend. He knows that. They play me and now it's my bad?' she thought.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, I can't even with you. Zach, how can you tie the knot with her? After you're hitched, who knows what stories she'll spin? Can't trust her. Not one bit!" Megan was throwing shade at Isabella before turning to Zachary, all concerned.<br /> <br /> Megan had been in the same class as Isabella back in high school, but they never really hit it off. Megan always teamed up with Yvonne Ingram to give Isabella a hard time. Plus, Megan detested the idea of Isabella becoming part of her family.<br /> <br /> "Zip it! Isabella is the eldest daughter of the esteemed Sorenson family. And who's that chick? Does she possess the same standing as Isabella? How could the Winslow family be cool with letting just anyone in?" Lorelai snapped off, not realizing she was pretty loud.<br /> <br /> Lorelai wasn't Isabella's number one fan, but she was all about that social ladder. Having Isabella marry in was like a major level-up for Zachary. No other high-class family had a daughter that could touch Isabella's status. Plus, Isabella was the kind of person one could sway pretty easy.<br /> <br /> So yeah, Lorelai had to make it crystal clearโthey couldn't let Isabella slip away.<br /> <br /> At first, Isabella kind of felt thankful to her future mother-in-law for stepping up, but then it hit her why she really did it.<br /> <br /> "Yes! Isabella, you're the eldest daughter of the Sorenson family. You should consider the reputations of the Sorenson family, the Ingram family, and the Winslow family before doing this!" Yvonne chimed in, looking all stressed.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, you've just crushed your dad. His heart's in pieces," Winona said, sounding all sweet but sad.<br /> <br /> Winona and Yvonne dropping those lines just made Nathan and Terence pull grumpier faces. 'She's gotta grow up. Can't be airing our dirty laundry like this!' they thought.<br /> <br /> Chapter 2 Proposal<br /> Isabella looked at the people around her.<br /> <br /> Her father, Nathan, was boiling mad.<br /> <br /> Her stepmother, Winona, and her half-sister, Yvonne, were getting a kick out of the drama.<br /> <br /> Her future father-in-law Terence was just shaking his head, and future mother-in-law Lorelai was cringing.<br /> <br /> Her would-be sister-in-law Megan was glaring holes through her.<br /> <br /> Her fiancรฉ, Zachary, didn't know what to do. In his arms was the pitiful woman, Scarlett, who was once her best friend.<br /> <br /> These folks were Isabella's whole world. And just like that, the world flipped, leaving Isabella as the one everyone was pointing fingers at.<br /> <br /> Isabella brushed away the tears and said lightly, "I hereby announce that Zachary Winslow and Isabella Sorenson's marriage contract has been canceled. We have nothing to do with each other from now on. I wish you happiness!" Then she bounced off the stage.<br /> <br /> Her dad Nathan jumped in, "Hold up, you think it's just up to you? You and Zachary were a done deal before you were even a twinkle. Don't even try to ditch this without my say-so!" Nathan had always been tough on Isabella, mostly because having Isabella around was a constant reminder that he was kind of a live-in son-in-law and his kids had to take their mom's last name. Big-time embarrassment for a guy who made it big.<br /> <br /> "And Isabella, cool it, will ya? Zachary messed up, and we'll make him say sorry. This marriage thing wasn't just your call, it's our families' deal. Don't go and have a meltdown. I got your back," Terence tried to smooth things over.<br /> <br /> Then he whirled around and snapped at Zachary, "Zachary! Drop that girl already!"<br /> <br /> Zachary looked like he didn't know what hit him.<br /> <br /> Scarlett, all tears and drama, shoved Zachary away. "Go after Isabella, Zachary. My bad, it's all on me. I'm no match for Isabella. I'm sorry, Isabella. Forgive me, okay? Don't go."<br /> <br /> Zachary just stood there, silent as a ghost.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, hold it! Are you deaf?" Nathan was beside himself with rage. He thought, 'She's always done what I said, like a perfect little robot. Why's she ignoring orders today?'<br /> <br /> Isabella stopped cold, her hands balled into fists so tight they hurt. She spun around to face Nathan.<br /> <br /> Now Nathan got real. "Come on, it's nothing. Why you making a big deal? Zachary and his folks are cool now. What more do you need? Who else would deal with your drama? You gotta see where your bread's buttered!"<br /> <br /> Isabella just felt this chill and said real slow, "He deserves better than me. I'll find someone else, no biggie."<br /> <br /> Nathan lost it, "Who else would even look at you?"<br /> <br /> But Isabella, she didn't even flinch. Shoulders back, head high, she walked right out the door.<br /> <br /> The crowd was eating up the drama like it was prime-time TV.<br /> <br /> Zachary and Isabella's engagement was like the hot gossip among the rich folks. Their families were tight, and with Isabella and Zachary set to tie the knot, the business was booming.<br /> <br /> The engagement party was just for show. They were heading for the altar anyway. But then, the plot thickened like in a soap opera.<br /> <br /> Zachary did Isabella dirty with her own bestie. Feeling burned, Isabella put them on blast right there in front of everyone.<br /> <br /> Instead of feeling sorry for her, people were ragging on Isabella. She was pretty shaken up when she realized that nobody seemed to care about her side of the story. But could she really get mad when her own dad dissed her too?<br /> <br /> Isabella stepped down from the stage and nearly took a spill in her killer heels. Just in time, one guy reached out and saved her from a faceplant.<br /> <br /> "Thanks," Isabella mumbled, looking down.<br /> <br /> A chill voice came from up top, "Watch your step."<br /> <br /> Isabella regained her balance, raised her head, and met a pair of deep, calm eyes. She was momentarily stunned, charmed by the handsome face before her. This guy was something elseโstrong brows, dark blue eyes, the works. He was all smiles and chill vibes.<br /> <br /> She took a breath and laid it all out there, completely honest. "Hi! Are you single?"<br /> <br /> He was stunned but nodded.<br /> <br /> Ignoring the crowd's shocked gasps, Isabella was like, "I'm Isabella Sorenson, 22, still in college at University of Moulmore. I have 40% shares in Sorenson Multimedia and will inherit all the inheritance left by my granddad and mom when I turn 25. But for now, I'm penniless. I need to marry someone. You in?"<br /> <br /> Isabella locked eyes with the guy. She was ticked off for sure, but she didn't give a flip. Her life's been no cakewalk. She fell hard for Zachary, and he didn't even say 'my bad' for stabbing her in the back.<br /> <br /> Her mom's parting advice to Isabella was to play it cool, to roll with the punches. For years, she put up with the drama and what'd she get? Zilch, just a slap in the face and zero backup.<br /> <br /> Isabella thought, 'I'd rather throw the baby out with the bathwater at this point. They're all drooling over my wealth and gearing up to rip me off, right? Fine! I'll marry someone random and not give them a dime!'<br /> <br /> Then, like clockwork, someone in the peanut gallery was like, "Holy cow! Did Isabella just lose it? What's she yapping about now? Poor Zachary."<br /> <br /> "Totally shameless! Just grabs a guy and pops the question? And after Zachary's folks bent over backwards to get her to forgive him!" added another voice.<br /> <br /> Chapter 3 It Is Him<br /> Isabella stood next to the stage, and everybody caught every word she said. Nathan, Terence, and the crowd beelined to her.<br /> <br /> "Isabella Sorenson! Have you flipped your lid?" Nathan's face was all red.<br /> <br /> "No kidding! What's that even mean?" Winona added, looking all shook up.<br /> <br /> "Are you crazy? You're practically giving away your assets by doing this!" Lorelai was devastated.<br /> <br /> Isabella completely ignored the people behind her and focused on the man before her. "Sir, do you hear me? Marry me, and you will have a fortune in three years. It's a bargain."<br /> <br /> The man's clear gaze met hers, and he chuckled. "You know, guys usually do the proposing." His voice was low and sexy.<br /> <br /> Isabella was speechless, the crowd zipped it for a hot second, then split their sides laughing. They figured he ditched her.<br /> <br /> Nathan almost couldn't resist the urge to storm forward and kick Isabella. "Isabella! Get back here right now!"<br /> <br /> The man's low voice sounded right after Nathan finished his sentence. "I'll marry you."<br /> <br /> Complete silence ensued.<br /> <br /> "My name is Clayton Murray. I'm 28 years old and single. I work at Rayson International. Ms. Isabella Sorenson, will you marry me?" Clayton fixed his gaze upon Isabella.<br /> <br /> Tears fell from Isabella's big eyes. "Thank you! Yes, I will!"<br /> <br /> Inside, she's throwing high fives to luck. Finally, she could breathe. Didn't matter who he was as long as she was pulling herself out of the quicksand.<br /> <br /> And just like that, the crowd went wild.<br /> <br /> "Say what? That's Clayton Murray from Rayson International?" someone gasped.<br /> <br /> "Whoa, the legendary second son of the Murray family?" someone else hollered.<br /> <br /> "No way! I heard Clayton doesn't mix with ladies. Could this be a fake?" somebody wondered.<br /> <br /> "Bummer. Mr. Murray's like a ghostโnever seen in public or snapping selfies. How can we even know if it's really him?" another person pitched in.<br /> <br /> "He looks legit. I mean, who would have the guts to fake being Mr. Murray? Plus, dude's got charmโI hear the real Clayton's a looker," came a comment from the crowd.<br /> <br /> Isabella dried her eyes and spun around to face the stage crowd. "Just to be clearโZachary and I are done. We're out of each other's lives. Next up, I'm marryingโ"<br /> <br /> She had to check with Clayton because she blanked on his name.<br /> <br /> "Clayton." He gave her a small grin.<br /> <br /> "Yeah, Clayton!" Isabella said, staring them down without a wince.<br /> <br /> Nathan boomed, "Hold up; you're the Clayton Murray?"<br /> <br /> Clayton just gave a cool nod. "That's me."<br /> <br /> Terence's expression darkened. He glared at Zachary and Scarlett, thinking, 'It's all this little punk's fault!'<br /> <br /> Megan and Yvonne were stunned. 'How's he so drop-dead gorgeous?' they wondered incredulously.<br /> <br /> Clayton swept his glance across the stage. "You all must be Isabella's family. Sorry for taking the liberty to announce our marriage in this way today. I'll pay you a visit someday."<br /> <br /> After saying that, he turned around and linked arms with Isabella, his tone gentle as he spoke to her. "Let's go. What's going on here is none of our business."<br /> <br /> "Mr. Murray, don't be fooled by Isabella! Over the years, she has been a nuisance, trying all means to curry favor with Zach just to get married to him. A woman even Zach has abandoned doesn't deserve you!" Megan shouted eagerly. ''I won't let Isabella have such an excellent man all to herself! I'm better than her. Mr. Murray should marry me. Isabella is nothing compared to me!' she thought.<br /> <br /> "Yes, Mr. Murray. Please wait! Isabella hasn't gotten my dad's permission." Yvonne's soft voice was filled with anxiety. She wasn't as foolish and reckless as Megan, but she, too, wanted Clayton to herself. 'Everyone will think Clayton and Isabella are engaged if they leave like this. I won't allow this! Such an outstanding man should be mine,' she mused.<br /> <br /> "Dad, say something! How can you let Isabella leave like this? Mr. Winslow hasn't agreed to cancel the engagement yet!" Yvonne urged.<br /> <br /> Nathan met his beloved daughter's gaze and cleared his throat. "Isabella! Come back!"<br /> <br /> Terence and Lorelai exchanged glances before the latter shouted, "Isabella, stop messing around. Come back and let's talk things out."<br /> <br /> Isabella tightened her fists, and Clayton patted her on the arm as reassurance.<br /> <br /> He stopped, turned around, and glanced at the people on the stage. "Thank you, Mr. Zachary Winslow, for falling in love with someone else and giving Isabella to me."<br /> <br /> Everyone, including Isabella, looked at Clayton in surprise.<br /> <br /> Gazing at Clayton's side profile, Isabella thought, 'I'm so lucky today. This random man that I chose supports me without hesitation.'<br /> <br /> Clayton then looked at Nathan. "Mr. Ingram, do you have a problem with your daughter marrying me?"<br /> <br /> His voice was gentle and calm, but his domineering aura made Nathan flinch.<br /> <br /> "Zachary, my stomach hurts." An anguished voice rang out at that moment. Scarlett, grabbing Zachary, held her stomach and bent over in pain.<br /> <br /> "Scarlett, what's wrong?" The anxiety and concern in Zachary's voice were obvious.<br /> <br /> Isabella's gaze dimmed, and her heart ached when she saw how much Zachary cared for Scarlett. Lorelai and Terence looked at Scarlett furiously.<br /> <br /> Scarlett admitted timidly, "I-I have been pregnant for two months."<br /> <br /> "What? A-Are you pregnant with Zachary's child?" Lorelai was in shock.<br /> <br /> Scarlett nodded in pain. "Zachary, my stomach hurts."<br /> <br /> Zachary panicked and said, "T-Then, what should we do?" He didn't expect Scarlett to be pregnant. He looked at Isabella below the stage and averted his gaze upon noticing her tear-filled eyes.<br /> <br /> Chapter 4 Conspiracy<br /> "What are you still standing around for? Quick, get her to the hospital. The child's safety comes first," Lorelai said urgently, placing her future grandchild's well-being above all else.<br /> <br /> Clayton covered his mouth and stifled a chuckle. "Even in this situation, you still want your daughter to marry into a family like this, Mr. Ingram? What exactly do you hope to gain from the Winslow family?"<br /> <br /> His words caused a visible shift in everyone's expression.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Nathan's expression was grim.<br /> <br /> Marrying Isabella to Zachary was a strategic move for both families. However, if Clayton was willing to wed Isabella, he would become Nathan's son-in-law, with Rayson International as Nathan's backing.<br /> <br /> The value of one hundred Avid Ventures Real Estate paled in comparison to Rayson International. In the face of years of friendship and mutual benefits, Nathan was torn between loyalty and opportunity. He was a businessman, and he knew what he wanted.<br /> <br /> Clayton saw the calculative glint in Nathan's eyes, turned to Isabella, and softly inquired, "Shall we go?"<br /> <br /> Isabella tore her eyes away from Zachary and Scarlett, nodding gently.<br /> <br /> She visited the graves of her granddad and mother, George and Irina Sorenson, tenderly wiping their photos clean with a tissue.<br /> <br /> "I'm sorry, Granddad, Mom. Zachary and I are no longer together. Our marriage won't be happening," she murmured.<br /> <br /> Caressing Irina's photo on the tombstone, she couldn't control her tears. "I've tried to heed your advice, Mom, enduring everything. But now, I'm at my wit's end. I'm only 22 years old, still too young to take over the company with my current ability," she confessed.<br /> <br /> "I thought things would be fine once I got married, but now..." Isabella muffled her sobs with her hand, her body trembling as she knelt before the tombstone, curled into a small ball of grief.<br /> <br /> Since Irina's passing, Isabella had learned to endure silently through countless trials, enduring disdain from Nathan, Winona, and Yvonne. Growing up in a home that no longer felt like hers was a constant struggle, yet she clung to the hope that marrying Zachary would bring her freedom. She believed that everything would soon be fine.<br /> <br /> When Nathan told her about the engagement party that was about to be held, Isabella was overjoyed. They had planned to get married after her university graduation the following year, and once that happened, she'd finally be free.<br /> <br /> Zachary was the man she loved dearly, and she believed the union arranged by George and Irina must be the best course. After all, Zachary was the guardian angel George and Irina had chosen for her.<br /> <br /> Throughout her childhood, Zachary had been her constant companion, treating her with great care.<br /> <br /> George passed away when Isabella was just eight years old, followed by Irina when Isabella turned ten, enveloping her world in hues of gray.<br /> <br /> When Isabella turned twelve, Zachary left for his studies abroad.<br /> <br /> Tearfully, Isabella clung to his hand, reluctant to let him go, fearful of losing the sole connection she had left to George and Irina.<br /> <br /> She vividly recalled Zachary's promise as he held her hand and said, "Isabella, wait for me. I will come back and marry you when I'm grown up." Those words echoed constantly in her mind.<br /> <br /> Throughout the years, Isabella dedicated herself entirely to Zachary. She nurtured their relationship meticulously, treasuring their brief annual reunions, and worked tirelessly to mold herself into the person he admired, adapting to his preferences.<br /> <br /> Despite enduring ridicule, sarcasm, and insults from Megan and Yvonne, she clung to the belief that everything would be fine after she married Zachary.<br /> <br /> Marrying Zachary had been Isabella's primary motivation and ultimate goal throughout those years. Every future scenario she envisioned concluded with her union with Zachary.<br /> <br /> She firmly believed that marrying him would breathe new life into her existence, heralding a fresh chapter and a brighter future.<br /> <br /> Whenever she faced punishment and was locked in a dark room, whenever she suffered from hunger, whenever she faced difficulties, the mere thought of that envisioned future fueled her with boundless courage.<br /> <br /> Alas, that hope was shattered. The day she had dreamed of would never materialize. The envisioned future dissolved, leaving behind a shattered world. Isabella felt as though her heart had been torn from her chest, leaving behind an agonizing void.<br /> <br /> After a long while of weeping silently, Isabella raised her head, wiping away tears with trembling hands, and pledged, "Granddad, Mom, from now on, I'll live for myself. I'll do my best to not let you down." Despite the pain, she knew that life must persist, regardless of the circumstances.<br /> <br /> As Isabella left the cemetery, the sun had already descended below the horizon.<br /> <br /> Clayton's car waited silently by the gate, catching Isabella off guard. Stepping out of the vehicle, Clayton opened the passenger seat door for her. She said in a low voice as she settled into the seat, "Thank you."<br /> <br /> Clayton got back in the car and glanced at Isabella. Her eyes and nose were red, and she looked exhausted. "Let's find a place for you to rest," Clayton suggested.<br /> <br /> Isabella shook her head, recognizing the inevitability of confronting what lay ahead. "Mr. Murray, thanks for your help today," she croaked, her voice strained from emotion.<br /> <br /> Clayton started the car and asked, "Where do you want to go?"<br /> <br /> "Could you please drive me home?" Isabella requested softly.<br /> <br /> After confirming the address, Clayton fell into silence as Isabella leaned against the window, closing her eyes for the journey home.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, at the Ingram residence, Nathan, Winona, and Yvonne sat facing each other on the couch in solemn silence.<br /> <br /> Breaking the silence, Yvonne implored, "Dad, you can't allow Isabella to marry Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> Nathan, having deliberated the matter during his return journey, felt a disquieting unease despite acknowledging the potential benefits of Isabella's union with Clayton. When pressed by Yvonne, he couldn't help but raise his gaze to meet hers, questioning, "Why?"<br /> <br /> Yvonne hesitated, not knowing what to say, thinking, 'I can't say I should be the one to marry Mr. Murray, right?' She glanced at Winona.<br /> <br /> Winona, pouring a cup of coffee for Nathan, said with composure, "Nate, it's widely known that Isabella and Zachary have been engaged to each other since childhood. Considering her background, it's not suitable for her to wed into the Murray family. Won't they look down on her?"<br /> <br /> Chapter 5 Stirring Up Trouble<br /> Nathan furrowed his brow in response, stating, "That's her decision to make. If she chooses to marry Mr. Murray, and if the Murrays look down on her, she only has herself to blame."<br /> <br /> Winona exchanged a meaningful glance with Yvonne before continuing, "While that may be true, she's still your daughter. If there's talk about her outside, it inevitably reflects on us as well. That's not good."<br /> <br /> Winona looked up at Nathan, who listened intently. "I'm not her biological mother, so I have no authority to discipline her," she began. "As you can see, she rarely communicates with us these years and has her own ideas. What happened today was saddening. She humiliated you in front of everyone. It's one thing for her to disrespect me over the years, but the way she treated you today was unacceptable. Despite my efforts, she only acknowledges Irina as her mother, thinking that we owe her."<br /> <br /> Tears welled up in Winona's eyes as she sniffled. "I know what you're thinking. A marriage of convenience with the Murray family will benefit the company greatly. However, if Isabella doesn't stand by you, then..."<br /> <br /> Her words trailed off, but her meaning was clear.<br /> <br /> Yvonne's gaze flickered as she inwardly praised her mother's wisdom. "Exactly, Dad. We can't squander resources. Even if Isabella married into the Winslow family, there's no guaranteeing she'll put in a good word for you. Your partnership with Mr. Winslow has been smooth-sailing, and that's based on your friendship with him, not Isabella's involvement," Yvonne chimed in.<br /> <br /> Nathan suddenly realized what had been bothering him. Isabella's defiance had caught him off guard. He desired a compliant daughter, not one with her own convictions. He glanced at them, took a sip of coffee, and asked in a deep voice, "So, what do you guys suggest?"<br /> <br /> Winona and Yvonne exchanged a glance. Winona gently proposed, "Nate, we can't trust Isabella, but we can rely on Yvonne. She's our biological daughter."<br /> <br /> Nathan's focus shifted to Yvonne, who appeared bashful. "Mom, we're talking about Isabella. Why bring me up?"<br /> <br /> Winona's expression grew stern. "Yvonne, I'm serious. You're our daughter. You can't just enjoy the privileges your father provides. You must share his burden, understand?" she chided.<br /> <br /> Yvonne straightened up, raising her hand in a playful gesture. "Yes, Mom, I understand. I'll be there for Dad whenever he needs me," she vowed with a smile.<br /> <br /> Nathan was reassured by her promise. Nodding, he remarked, "Winona, you've raised her well. Isabella, on the other hand, is truly disappointing."<br /> <br /> Winona smiled faintly, "My hands are tied. Anything I say as her stepmother could easily be misinterpreted as having ulterior motives."<br /> <br /> "Hmph! It's because she doesn't know what's best for her," Nathan snorted. Then, he frowned. "Are you suggesting that Yvonne should marry into the Murray family?"<br /> <br /> Winona nodded, affirming, "We can trust Yvonne. She's our sweetheart."<br /> <br /> "But Yvonne is only twenty," Nathan voiced his concern. He had always cherished Yvonne and had never contemplated marrying her off at such a young age.<br /> <br /> Knowing that he was wavering, Winona smiled reassuringly, "So what if she's twenty? We can arrange for the marriage now and wait for Yvonne to graduate from university before holding the wedding. That doesn't make much difference."<br /> <br /> Nathan cradled his forehead, contemplating her proposal.<br /> <br /> "Dad, if it benefits our family, I'm in. Trust me; I'll try my best to ensure our family's prosperity," Yvonne declared resolutely, biting her lip as if determined to sacrifice herself for the family.<br /> <br /> Nathan eventually nodded in agreement, which put a smile on Yvonne's face.<br /> <br /> However, Winona intervened softly, "But, Nate, we're not acquainted with Mr. Murray. Perhaps we'll need Isabella to introduce us?"<br /> <br /> Yvonne was taken aback, immediately objecting, "Why should she introduce us? As we saw today, she asked Mr. Murray to marry her on the spur of the moment. Mr. Murray agreed as soon as she mentioned it. So, why can't we approach him directly?"<br /> <br /> Yvonne considered herself superior to Isabella. She mused inwardly, 'In terms of appearance and figure, I'm much better than that country bumpkin. Why should Isabella, who's inferior to me, get to marry such a perfect man? Since Mr. Murray agreed to Isabella's proposal, he'd agree to mine too.'<br /> <br /> Nathan thought her words made sense and pondered for a moment. "Well, how about we pay a visit to Rayson International tomorrow?"<br /> <br /> Outside the Ingram residence, Clayton parked the car and glanced at Isabella who was already asleep in the passenger seat.<br /> <br /> It should've been her engagement party that day. She wore a white knee-length dress, her pinned-up hair already disheveled, with several strands hanging down. Her delicate face appeared particularly pale. She didn't change much since childhood. As she jumped down from the stage, Clayton was struck by the pain and resolution reflected in her eyes.<br /> <br /> 'It seems like she's been struggling all these years,' Clayton thought, tenderly tucking her hair behind her ear.<br /> <br /> Isabella's long lashes quivered slightly as she stirred awake at his touch, momentarily confused upon seeing Clayton.<br /> <br /> "Are you awake?" Clayton asked gently.<br /> <br /> Isabella blinked, and the memories of what happened flooded back. She took a deep breath, attempting to quell the overwhelming pain pulsating through her veins.<br /> <br /> Gazing toward the Ingram residence, she was enveloped by a chilling coldness. This place had been her home, yet since the age of ten, she felt like a superfluous presence there.<br /> <br /> Previously, Zachary's presence had somewhat eased the void left by George and Irina. However, at present, she was all alone.<br /> <br /> The gate of the residence was like a gaping maw, ready to devour her and the legacy of George and Irina at any moment.<br /> <br /> "Do you need me to go in there with you?" Clayton asked softly, observing Isabella, who was staring into space.<br /> <br /> Isabella slowly shook her head. Staring directly ahead, she spoke to Clayton in a composed but distant manner. "Mr. Murray, can we make a deal? I need to leave this place now, but they won't allow me to rent a house independently. Our school's in the middle of renovations, and once the new semester kicks off, students like us who are in the senior year will have to find internship positions on our own, and we can no longer live in dorms. The only option left for me is to get married. Once I get married, I can leave for good."<br /> <br /> Clayton tightened his grip on the steering wheel.<br /> <br /> "I propose we marry, and I'll move into your residence. I'll reside there and pay you rent. If I face financial constraints, I'll provide you with a promissory note. I've mentioned that I'll inherit some assets after turning twenty-five. At that point, I'll settle all my debts to you. Then, we'll proceed with divorce proceedings, and I'll allocate half of the inheritance I receive to you as compensation for marrying me now," Isabella explained.<br /> <br /> Chapter 6 Realization<br /> Isabella declared resolutely, "I will draft a formal agreement stating our rights and responsibilities. Our union will only be a sham marriage. Should you happen to develop feelings for someone else during this time, I ask that you wait until we've been married for at least a year before seeking a divorce. I assure you, my commitment to our arrangement stands firm, and you will receive every cent of your compensation as promised. With this agreement in place, we can ensure fairness for both parties."<br /> <br /> Noticing a pen and paper tucked under the armrest, Isabella grabbed them, jotting down her phone number before passing it to Clayton. "Here is my contact information. Take your time to ponder my proposal; however, I expect your response within three days. Do not delay." With that, Isabella exited the car and left, leaving Clayton staring at the note in his hand blankly.<br /> <br /> Her decisiveness left Clayton momentarily stunned.<br /> <br /> He couldn't help chuckling as he watched Isabella walk away in determined strides. "Isabella, I'm back. I'll stand by your side no matter what you do," Clayton murmured, thinking, 'I'll let her do whatever she wants. Whatever happens, I'll clean up after her.' Even if she didn't know who he was, Nathan did. Nathan'd never dare to lay a hand on her.<br /> <br /> *****<br /> <br /> Dinner was served in a peaceful ambiance.<br /> <br /> "Ms. Sorenson, you've returned." One of the maids, Elsie Anderson, was surprised to see Isabella.<br /> <br /> Isabella paid no heed to the mix of surprise and disdain the other three were displaying. "Dad, Winona." Dipping her head, she greeted them before settling at the table, accepting the soup bowl offered by Elsie.<br /> <br /> She hadn't eaten anything since morning and was starving. Clayton had suggested taking her to dinner earlier, but she had declined. She would have to face this sooner or later, so why delay it?<br /> <br /> "Isabella, why are you only back now? Mom and Dad were too worried to eat," Yvonne said, sharing a meaningful glance with Winona.<br /> <br /> Nathan's expression darkened.<br /> <br /> Isabella finished her soup and put down the spoon. Disregarding the cold leftovers on the table, she explained, "I went to visit Grandpa and Mom. I needed to inform them that Zachary and I have called off our engagement."<br /> <br /> Nathan sneered, "And they didn't reprimand you?"<br /> <br /> Isabella lowered her head in silence.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, you've pissed your dad off today. How could you embarrass him in front of everyone?" Winona said softly.<br /> <br /> "Mom, don't blame Isabella. Remember, she's the eldest daughter of the Sorenson family and the designated heiress of Sorenson Multimedia. Dad wouldn't hold it against her. Who knows what those shareholders might say if he did?" Yvonne interjected, stealing glances at Nathan.<br /> <br /> Nathan's expression darkened further as his gaze bore into Isabella.<br /> <br /> Isabella quietly ate the food Elsie gave her. She had gotten used to such drama. Winona and Yvonne always sowed discord between her and Nathan. Then, endless insults would ensue that would sometimes escalate into physical abuse.<br /> <br /> She was a Sorenson, and her father was an Ingram. That was one of her sins.<br /> <br /> Nathan didn't lose his temper. Instead, he snorted derisively before leaving the dining room.<br /> <br /> Winona shot a glance and Yvonne and Isabella before following Nathan out.<br /> <br /> As soon as her parents left, Yvonne abandoned her facade of dignity. Casting a scornful glance at Isabella, who remained meek and reserved as always, she said sarcastically, "I'm amazed you still have the nerve to stay alive. If I were in your shoes, I'd have put an end to it all by now. Maybe flung myself into a river or hung myself. Anything's better than living like this. Your fiancรฉ despises you and cheats on you with your closest friend. Aren't you devastated? How do you even have an appetite?"<br /> <br /> After taking the final bite, Isabella met Yvonne's gaze with indifference. "I've found someone willing to wed me."<br /> <br /> Yvonne scoffed, "Wake up, will you? Do you honestly believe you're the eldest daughter of the Sorenson family?"<br /> <br /> Isabella merely looked at her coldly. Yvonne often carried herself with elegance and composure in public. Isabella was perhaps the only person who had seen her true colors.<br /> <br /> She thought, 'Does Yvonne ever get tired of pretending? I pretend to be indifferent and weak because Winona and Yvonne forced me to, but no one's forcing Yvonne. So why is she pretending?'<br /> <br /> "What're you looking at?" Yvonne bellowed at Isabella. Isabella's charming face never failed to anger her. 'Why does she get all the luck? A wealthy grandfather and mother, and even that envy-inducing face!' she seethed inwardly.<br /> <br /> Yvonne sent her plate hurtling toward Isabella.<br /> <br /> Isabella rose from her seat, narrowly dodging the plate as it crashed to the ground.<br /> <br /> "What's wrong?" Winona asked loudly.<br /> <br /> Yvonne glared at Isabella.<br /> <br /> Normally, Isabella would've quickly apologized to Winona, saying she had accidentally broken the plate. Yet, today, Isabella simply turned to face the incensed Yvonne in silence.<br /> <br /> Elsie interjected fearfully, "Mrs. Ingram, I'm sorry; I accidentally dropped a plate."<br /> <br /> Both Isabella and Yvonne looked at Elsie at the same time.<br /> <br /> Yvonne shot daggers at Elsie before exiting the dining room.<br /> <br /> Elsie tugged at Isabella's arm, whispering, "Ms. Sorenson, just endure it. This too shall pass."<br /> <br /> Endure. It was a mantra instilled in Isabella since childhood by Elsie and also what her late mother said to her. Today, however, she realized that enduring only made things worse.<br /> <br /> Isabella hurried to the bathroom, changing out of the dress and cleansing herself of the shame it carried. She then returned to her room on the second floor, a windowless storeroom bereft of sunlight year-round. She even had to use the maid's bathroom. Besides Elsie, no one would regard her as the family's eldest daughter.<br /> <br /> The luxurious room that her grandfather and mother decorated was handed over to Yvonne just a month after Winona and Yvonne's arrival. Isabella's living quarters changed each time she made a "mistake" until she found herself relegated to the storeroom, a decision that satisfied Winona and Yvonne at last.<br /> <br /> This was the consequence of endurance.<br /> <br /> Isabella curled up on the cramped bed, the air stifling and hot. The wind could only filter in when the door was opened. Yet, she didn't want to move, let alone open the door.<br /> <br /> Isabella closed her eyes, the events of the day replaying in her mind. She watched them unfold once more like a distant observer.<br /> <br /> The moment Zachary started dating Scarlett remained a mystery to her.<br /> <br /> Since Zachary's return from abroad, he started work in his family's company, leaving little opportunity for him and Isabella to spend time together. Isabella was never one to inconvenience others, so she never interrupted Zachary's work. Understanding his desire for a compliant girlfriend, she made every effort to fit that mold.<br /> <br /> Ever since Zachary returned, the two families celebrated festivals together, which Isabella enjoyed.<br /> <br /> Zachary didn't treat her poorly or particularly well, but he and Yvonne were tight. They got along well, even though Zachary used to dislike Yvonne as a kid.<br /> <br /> Chapter 7 Truth<br /> Today, Scarlett claimed Isabella had forgiven them, which was nonsense. Isabella didn't know anything about their affair.<br /> <br /> Isabella wondered, 'Why would she say that? Was it to make Zachary turn against me? If that's the case, it's obvious who played the video. However, Scarlett isn't stupid. There are so many ways to let me know, so why did she choose this one? Doing so will only cause her more harm than good. Oh, right, because doing so makes it seem like my handiwork. No one will suspect Scarlett of selling herself out. As for Zachary, he is always on Scarlett's side. He never admitted his mistake or apologized. He kept emphasizing that Scarlett is my good friend and that I should be nice to her. Zachary, am I being nice to her by letting you go? Why do you take everything I do for granted?'<br /> <br /> Isabella's heart ached as she recalled the tender look Zachary reserved for Scarlett.<br /> <br /> Zachary had never looked at her like that before. 'I'm just not worth his affection, huh?' she pondered.<br /> <br /> Lorelai's words hit Isabella like a sudden storm. Throughout the years, Lorelai treated Isabella well. Isabella once believed she was sincere and even vowed to take good care of Lorelai after the marriage.<br /> <br /> However, it turned out that Lorelai valued her social status and assets. That was probably her second original sin.<br /> <br /> Isabella held a significant 40% stake in Sorenson Multimedia, making her the company's largest shareholder. However, because of her youth, all the dividends from this ownership were directed into a trust established by her grandfather, which remained inaccessible until she reached the age of 25. She wouldn't receive her inheritance from her grandfather and mother until that time.<br /> <br /> Today, she finally realized that the Winslow family's acceptance of her wasn't based on genuine affection or sympathy for her loss of her mother. It also wasn't due to their acquaintance with her late mother and grandfather either. Instead, it was because of the assets she would eventually possess.<br /> <br /> They were kind to her because of her assets, and cruel to her for the same reason.<br /> <br /> Nathan had always been eyeing the property Isabella could inherit, especially because Yvonne didn't have any. When Isabella turned 18, Nathan deemed her old enough to handle her inheritance. He once pressured her to draft a document pledging half of the property to Yvonne. However, his plan was thwarted when the lawyer and four key company shareholders intervened.<br /> <br /> George and Irina foresaw the possibility of someone coveting the assets and therefore imposed an age restriction of 25. At 18, Isabella didn't have the authority to transfer her future assets.<br /> <br /> Nathan had married into the Sorenson family, so any child he had with Irina must carry the Sorenson name, while offspring from other relationships would not inherit this family name.<br /> <br /> Thus, Isabella was the only heiress of the Sorenson family.<br /> <br /> Furthermore, if Nathan decided to transfer his shares to Yvonne rather than Isabella, the four main investors would pull out their money from Sorenson Multimedia. The company had always been in the hands of the Sorenson family, and it would stay that way.<br /> <br /> If the major investors withdrew their support, the company would collapse, as Nathan's 30% stake alone wouldn't be enough to sustain it. Nathan's family eventually gave up on their plan.<br /> <br /> Instead of trying to butter Isabella up to get their way, they chose to resent her even more. Isabella couldn't help but admire them for that, for they didn't yield in the face of greed.<br /> <br /> Another way to access her wealth was by letting her marry Zachary.<br /> <br /> In this scenario, her property would serve as her dowry, to be shared with the Winslow family upon marriage. Given Isabella's infatuation with Zachary, she would likely agree to this arrangement. Consequently, Nathan collaborated with the Winslow family on various investment and development endeavors in recent years, aiming to reap the maximum benefits in due time.<br /> <br /> "Grandpa, Mom, 25 isn't a safe age either. If I were an idiot, I'd still be an idiot at 25 years old," Isabella murmured.<br /> <br /> Luckily, misfortune wasn't the only thing the heavens bestowed upon her. At least Zachary found his true love. She wondered if that had anything to do with divine intervention.<br /> <br /> Getting out of bed, she used a nearby book to fan herself.<br /> <br /> 'Time to draw up a contract for Clayton. If he's sensible, he'll agree to my terms,' she thought. Isabella needed to move out as soon as possible. She had neither the energy nor the mood to deal with Yvonne and Winona's tricks anymore.<br /> <br /> They wouldn't let her rent a place outside, because that would make it hard for them to control her. Also, that would bring disgrace upon the Sorenson family. The only escape route left was to get married.<br /> <br /> The identity of her partner hardly mattered, as long as he was a true gentleman. She would draft a pact, ensuring her safety and rights were protected. And in return, she would offer him the benefits he rightly deserved, for he would be her savior.<br /> <br /> She needed to find a place to settle down and focus on earning money, aiming to gather 300 thousand dollars within a year to finance her studies in Upria for the next five years. It wasn't much, but she could continue earning while studying.<br /> <br /> Her future needed replanning. This time, she was on her own, and she vowed to protect herself from harm.<br /> <br /> The next morning, Nathan took Yvonne to Rayson International. As they stood outside the towering structure, Yvonne was exhilarated.<br /> <br /> Amidst the bustling heart of the city, the building stood tall and majestic. The employees were in a hurry, but their demeanor radiated confidence and pride unmatched by those of other companies.<br /> <br /> A smile crept onto Yvonne's face as she envisioned herself as the owner of this impressive building and the wife of its esteemed boss, overseeing these elite professionals in the future.<br /> <br /> Clayton accepted the document from his assistant, Johnny Lawton, signing it before instructing, "Get in touch with Kayson and have him find a place for me near University of Moulmore. Something around 1,000 square feet, suitable for two people, and fully equipped with all the essentials."<br /> <br /> Johnny answered, "Okay."<br /> <br /> Seeing that Clayton was reading a contract, Johnny called Kayson.<br /> <br /> After a while, Kayson entered. "Boss, what do you think about Moonlight Apartment near University of Moulmore? It's just a ten-minute stroll from the campus, and boasts a thriving community with all the amenities you could need."<br /> <br /> Clayton thought for a moment, but the name didn't ring a bell. "Okay. Go ahead and purchase a unit."<br /> <br /> Kayson laughed, "Boss, that's our property. You reserved a suite for yourself on the 28th floor. I was wondering why you never brought it up again. Turns out you forgot."<br /> <br /> Johnny glared at him. "Cut the crap and get it sorted already."<br /> <br /> Clayton glanced at Kayson but remained silent. Kayson stuck out his tongue playfully, heading toward the door. "Boss, will you be living alone or will Mr. Maguire be joining you?"<br /> <br /> Without looking up, Clayton responded, "It'll be me and my wife."<br /> <br /> Chapter 8 Will You Marry Me Instead?<br /> Clayton continued working on the document while Johnny and Kayson stiffened. Johnny, usually collected, also stared at Clayton in disbelief.<br /> <br /> Kayson's mouth hung open. "Y-You and who, Boss?"<br /> <br /> Clayton glanced up at them, answering flatly, "My wife. Do you have a hearing problem?"<br /> <br /> Kayson gaped in shock at Clayton, who kept working, then turned to the equally dumbfounded Johnny.<br /> <br /> Another assistant, Weston Quinn, entered the office. "Mr. Murray, Mr. Nathan Ingram and his daughter are here to see you."<br /> <br /> Clayton didn't look up. "Did they make an appointment?"<br /> <br /> Weston shook his head. "No, but he mentioned Isabella Sorenson. Said you'd know right away."<br /> <br /> Clayton's head snapped up at once. "All right, bring them up."<br /> <br /> Weston was stunned, for he seemed to have caught a glimpse of a smile on Clayton's face.<br /> <br /> However, he blinked and thought his eyes must've been playing tricks. Noticing how Kayson was rooted in his spot, Weston presumed Kayson had been lectured again and hurriedly turned to leave.<br /> <br /> Clayton glimpsed at Kayson. "Why are you still here?"<br /> <br /> Kayson jolted out of his daze, murmuring, "T-This feels too surreal..."<br /> <br /> Clayton glanced at Johnny, who quickly composed himself, clenched his fists, and cleared his throat before saying, "This information is somewhat... unexpected. It's only normal that Kay needs a moment to process it, Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> Johnny then glared at Kayson. "What are you still waiting for? Go get it done."<br /> <br /> Promptly, Kayson exited the room, still looking thunderstruck.<br /> <br /> He had just shut the door when he saw Hendrix Henderson working in the personal assistants' office. "Hens, let me pinch you and see if it hurts!" Kayson reached for Hendrix's handsome face, but Hendrix swatted Kayson's hand away with a folder.<br /> <br /> "Oh, get lost. Pinch yourself." Hendrix scowled. "What's the matter with you this early in the morning? You got scolded again? You were in there for so long."<br /> <br /> Kayson retracted his throbbing hand in a heartbeat. "Ouch, that hurts! So this isn't a dream!"<br /> <br /> Hendrix rolled his eyes, used to how Kayson would act up at least a few times a day.<br /> <br /> All four of Clayton's personal assistants were men. Johnny had been with Clayton the longest and resembled Clayton most, as cold and aloof. Weston and Hendrix, while mostly reserved, still wore their emotions on their faces from time to time. As for Kayson, he was the lone constant jokester of the group.<br /> <br /> Kayson looked at Hendrix intently. "Do you have any idea what I was tasked with?"<br /> <br /> Hendrix couldn't be bothered to answer, knowing Kayson would continue talking regardless of whether there was any response.<br /> <br /> Kayson's Adam's apple bobbed. "Boss told me to buy him an apartment. He said it's for him and his wife."<br /> <br /> Hendrix's fingers that were flying over the keyboard froze. "Are you still half-asleep? You must've heard wrong, and so absurd at that. Watch yourself, or Johnny will come give you an earful!"<br /> <br /> Kayson snatched the folder from Hendrix and insisted, "It's true! Johnny is in there. He heard it too. Ask him if you don't believe me."<br /> <br /> Before Hendrix could reply, they spotted Weston leading Nathan and Yvonne over. Kayson's eyes widened at the sight of Yvonne while he nudged Hendrix.<br /> <br /> Hendrix looked over, thinking, 'My, isn't she a beauty? What's going on here? Could she be the "wife" that Boss was referring to?'<br /> <br /> Weston was perplexed when he caught sight of the duo's transfixed gazes. 'What's up with those two? Why do they look so stunned?' he wondered.<br /> <br /> Yvonne had been pumped up the moment she stepped into the lobby. The low-key yet lavish interior of Rayson International made the Sorenson Multimedia and the Winslow family's Avid Ventures Real Estate that she was familiar with seem like night and day.<br /> <br /> As she expected, meeting Clayton was no easy feat. Clayton never entertained visitors without appointments despite Nathan making his identity known.<br /> <br /> Luckily, Isabella's name had worked in their favor. 'Looks like he still remembers yesterday's incident. In that case, he will surely recognize me, too. The gown I wore was tailor-made and cost ten times more than Isabella's, practically making me the star of the event. There's no way he'll forget my pretty face,' she mused in glee.<br /> <br /> Yvonne's heart raced involuntarily when she saw Clayton's assistant coming to escort them upstairs. She thought giddily, 'My goodness, Weston's quite the looker. What a pity that he isn't pursuing a celebrity career.'<br /> <br /> They had taken the private elevator up to Clayton's office, where another two astonished yet dashing men stood by the entrance. Yvonne was beyond thrilled on the inside, confident they were amazed by her beauty. 'I knew it. No one will overlook my looks with Isabella absent. See, even Mr. Murray's assistants are mesmerized by me,' she pondered, brimming with confidence and anticipation.<br /> <br /> After Weston knocked on the door, a deep voice rang out from inside. "Come in."<br /> <br /> Weston opened the door and politely gestured for Nathan and Yvonne to enter. "Mr. and Ms. Ingram are here, Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> Clayton looked up, his gaze and voice turning cold as he questioned Weston, "Didn't you say Ms. Isabella Sorenson was here?"<br /> <br /> Weston turned quizzically to Nathan.<br /> <br /> Nathan was all smiles as he stepped forward eagerly. "Hello, Mr. Murray! I'm Nathan Ingram. Isabella's my daughter."<br /> <br /> Clayton did not get up or spare a glance at Nathan's extended hand. "Where's Isabella?"<br /> <br /> Nathan awkwardly retracted his hand. "Ah, Isabella. She's, uh..."<br /> <br /> "Mr. Murray, my sister wanted us to inform you that she can't marry you," Yvonne chimed in gently while staring at Clayton.<br /> <br /> Clayton arched an eyebrow at the father-daughter duo.<br /> <br /> Nathan clenched his fist at his side and said solemnly, "That's right. We've come to explain the situation. Isabella is already engaged, so she can't marry you. But I have anotherโ"<br /> <br /> "Mr. Ingram!" Clayton interrupted frigidly. "Hasn't it already been made clear to everyone yesterday? Isabella called off the engagement with her ex-fiancรฉ and asked me to marry her. If she wants to go back on her word, she'll have to tell me herself!"<br /> <br /> Nathan's face fell as it dawned on him that Clayton was serious about the marriage.<br /> <br /> Yvonne became anxious. "I don't think you understand, Mr. Murray. Her and Zachary's marriage contract is set in stone. It was personally arranged by her mother. Isabella can't call the shots!"<br /> <br /> Clayton leaned back, arms crossed. "Oh? How about me, then? Mr. Ingram, as I said yesterday, nobody has dared to stop me from doing anything I want. Have you forgotten that, or did you choose not to believe me?"<br /> <br /> Clayton stared at Nathan, who instinctively lowered his head in the face of Clayton's overwhelmingly imposing aura. A shiver ran down Nathan's spine. "O-Of course not, Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> "Then what are you doing here now?" Clayton's voice was utterly icy.<br /> <br /> Yvonne boldly met his eyes. "Mr. Murray, I'm Yvonne Ingram, 20 this year, currently a sophomore at the University of Moulmore, majoring in economics and management, and future heiress to Sorenson Multimedia. Will you marry me instead?" She had dressed to the nines to meet him today, convinced that she could catch his fancy. | Endless Stories | 206 | https://facebook.com/61555726498427 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The young billionaire whispered with his hand grabbing Isabella's, who was in a wedding gown.<br /> "Do you need me to help you seek revenge? Whether it's the scumbag who betrayed you or your stepmother, they're nothing in front of me."<br /> Isabella looked at the handsome man in front of her and nodded.<br /> "Marry me, and we'll let them regret it for the rest of their lives."<br /> <br /> Chapter 1 Betrayal<br /> Up on the massive screen, a couple in their birthday suits were all tangled up, getting hot and heavy, and the surround sound was blasting every moan and breath.<br /> <br /> The lady had curves for days and her skin was mad smooth. Then there came a close-up of their faces.<br /> <br /> Isabella Sorenson was struck dumb, staring up at the screen, and she felt like she'd just been punched in the gut. The naked couple were none other than her main squeeze Zachary Winslow and her bestie Scarlett Pearson.<br /> <br /> And no joke, they were both right there next to her because today was supposed to be Isabella and Zachary's engagement party.<br /> <br /> Just a second before, that screen was showing cute throwbacks of Zachary and Isabella growing up together, while some dude was talking all mushy about it. It went from little Isabella at three to Zachary at seven, and then instead of more childhood pictures, the screen switched to the hookup video.<br /> <br /> "Ah!" Scarlett let out a scream and threw her arms around Zachary.<br /> <br /> Now, if anybody was still clueless about who were up on that screen, everything was out in the open. While Isabella was stuck on the spot, Zachary was hugging Scarlett.<br /> <br /> The whole place exploded with whispers and gasps.<br /> <br /> "Yo, ain't that Isabella's ride-or-die?" one guest whispered.<br /> <br /> "Seriously, Ms. Sorenson got played?" chimed in another.<br /> <br /> "Yo, check out that bod!" somebody else hollered.<br /> <br /> "What's going on?" Isabella's father, Nathan Ingram, was freaking out, trying to cover up the screen, but this screen was enormous. Though he was like pushing six feet, he looked straight-up silly trying to block it.<br /> <br /> Terence Winslow, Zachary's father, was beet red but he bolted toward the control room to turn off the screen.<br /> <br /> Scarlett, her eyes leaking like a faucet, hit Isabella with the puppy dog eyes. "Isabella, didn't you pinky swear to let this go? I promised I'd ditch Zachary and leave town the second you're engaged. Why you gotta blast this now? Are you trying to ruin me?"<br /> <br /> When Scarlett clung to Zachary, he looked kinda red-faced but went wide-eyed the second he heard what Scarlett said. Holding her firmly, he asked, "What are you saying, Scarlett? Isabella forced you to leave?"<br /> <br /> It was as if a bomb had detonated within Isabella's mind, leaving her stunned and disoriented. She stared blankly at Zachary, her childhood sweetheart. Ever since she could remember, Isabella had made up her mind to spend the rest of her life with Zachary.<br /> <br /> 'When did he and Scarlett become a thing? And when did I ever agree not to pursue this matter? What's going on here? What are they talking about?' Isabelle wondered.<br /> <br /> "How could you be so vicious, setting up your own fiancรฉ and best friend?" Zachary's sister, Megan Winslow, shoved Isabella on the shoulder.<br /> <br /> Isabella, in a daze, didn't see that coming and staggered backward until she ended up right beside Nathan.<br /> <br /> Nathan was filled with fury. Raising his hand, he slapped her in the face. "Look at what you've done! You've brought disgrace upon both our families!"<br /> <br /> Before Isabella could even regain her balance, she was knocked to the ground by the slap. Zachary grew anxious and instinctively wanted to help her up, but Scarlett tightened her grip on his arm.<br /> <br /> Isabella turned and caught a glance of the smugness in Scarlett's eyes.<br /> <br /> "How can you hit your child? Come on, get up, Isabella." A voice was heard as a pair of hands helped Isabella to her feet.<br /> <br /> Terence sighed, "Isabella, don't blame your father. What you did was really out of line."<br /> <br /> Lorelai Winslow, Zachary's mother, pointed at Scarlett and said, "Where did you come from? You must have seduced my son. Get out of here! I'll never let you become part of our family!"<br /> <br /> Scarlett hid behind Zachary like a scared puppy.<br /> <br /> Zachary positioned himself protectively in front of Scarlett, his voice firm as he addressed his mother. "Mom, don't blame Scarlett. Isabella, she's your best friend. You can't push her to the brink like this!"<br /> <br /> With Terence's support, Isabella finally got back to her feet. A solitary tear traced its path down her cheek. As she gazed up at Zachary, the man she had loved for most of her life, she realized he had become a stranger in the blink of an eye.<br /> <br /> 'Scarlett's supposed to be my best friend. He knows that. They play me and now it's my bad?' she thought.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, I can't even with you. Zach, how can you tie the knot with her? After you're hitched, who knows what stories she'll spin? Can't trust her. Not one bit!" Megan was throwing shade at Isabella before turning to Zachary, all concerned.<br /> <br /> Megan had been in the same class as Isabella back in high school, but they never really hit it off. Megan always teamed up with Yvonne Ingram to give Isabella a hard time. Plus, Megan detested the idea of Isabella becoming part of her family.<br /> <br /> "Zip it! Isabella is the eldest daughter of the esteemed Sorenson family. And who's that chick? Does she possess the same standing as Isabella? How could the Winslow family be cool with letting just anyone in?" Lorelai snapped off, not realizing she was pretty loud.<br /> <br /> Lorelai wasn't Isabella's number one fan, but she was all about that social ladder. Having Isabella marry in was like a major level-up for Zachary. No other high-class family had a daughter that could touch Isabella's status. Plus, Isabella was the kind of person one could sway pretty easy.<br /> <br /> So yeah, Lorelai had to make it crystal clearโthey couldn't let Isabella slip away.<br /> <br /> At first, Isabella kind of felt thankful to her future mother-in-law for stepping up, but then it hit her why she really did it.<br /> <br /> "Yes! Isabella, you're the eldest daughter of the Sorenson family. You should consider the reputations of the Sorenson family, the Ingram family, and the Winslow family before doing this!" Yvonne chimed in, looking all stressed.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, you've just crushed your dad. His heart's in pieces," Winona said, sounding all sweet but sad.<br /> <br /> Winona and Yvonne dropping those lines just made Nathan and Terence pull grumpier faces. 'She's gotta grow up. Can't be airing our dirty laundry like this!' they thought.<br /> <br /> Chapter 2 Proposal<br /> Isabella looked at the people around her.<br /> <br /> Her father, Nathan, was boiling mad.<br /> <br /> Her stepmother, Winona, and her half-sister, Yvonne, were getting a kick out of the drama.<br /> <br /> Her future father-in-law Terence was just shaking his head, and future mother-in-law Lorelai was cringing.<br /> <br /> Her would-be sister-in-law Megan was glaring holes through her.<br /> <br /> Her fiancรฉ, Zachary, didn't know what to do. In his arms was the pitiful woman, Scarlett, who was once her best friend.<br /> <br /> These folks were Isabella's whole world. And just like that, the world flipped, leaving Isabella as the one everyone was pointing fingers at.<br /> <br /> Isabella brushed away the tears and said lightly, "I hereby announce that Zachary Winslow and Isabella Sorenson's marriage contract has been canceled. We have nothing to do with each other from now on. I wish you happiness!" Then she bounced off the stage.<br /> <br /> Her dad Nathan jumped in, "Hold up, you think it's just up to you? You and Zachary were a done deal before you were even a twinkle. Don't even try to ditch this without my say-so!" Nathan had always been tough on Isabella, mostly because having Isabella around was a constant reminder that he was kind of a live-in son-in-law and his kids had to take their mom's last name. Big-time embarrassment for a guy who made it big.<br /> <br /> "And Isabella, cool it, will ya? Zachary messed up, and we'll make him say sorry. This marriage thing wasn't just your call, it's our families' deal. Don't go and have a meltdown. I got your back," Terence tried to smooth things over.<br /> <br /> Then he whirled around and snapped at Zachary, "Zachary! Drop that girl already!"<br /> <br /> Zachary looked like he didn't know what hit him.<br /> <br /> Scarlett, all tears and drama, shoved Zachary away. "Go after Isabella, Zachary. My bad, it's all on me. I'm no match for Isabella. I'm sorry, Isabella. Forgive me, okay? Don't go."<br /> <br /> Zachary just stood there, silent as a ghost.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, hold it! Are you deaf?" Nathan was beside himself with rage. He thought, 'She's always done what I said, like a perfect little robot. Why's she ignoring orders today?'<br /> <br /> Isabella stopped cold, her hands balled into fists so tight they hurt. She spun around to face Nathan.<br /> <br /> Now Nathan got real. "Come on, it's nothing. Why you making a big deal? Zachary and his folks are cool now. What more do you need? Who else would deal with your drama? You gotta see where your bread's buttered!"<br /> <br /> Isabella just felt this chill and said real slow, "He deserves better than me. I'll find someone else, no biggie."<br /> <br /> Nathan lost it, "Who else would even look at you?"<br /> <br /> But Isabella, she didn't even flinch. Shoulders back, head high, she walked right out the door.<br /> <br /> The crowd was eating up the drama like it was prime-time TV.<br /> <br /> Zachary and Isabella's engagement was like the hot gossip among the rich folks. Their families were tight, and with Isabella and Zachary set to tie the knot, the business was booming.<br /> <br /> The engagement party was just for show. They were heading for the altar anyway. But then, the plot thickened like in a soap opera.<br /> <br /> Zachary did Isabella dirty with her own bestie. Feeling burned, Isabella put them on blast right there in front of everyone.<br /> <br /> Instead of feeling sorry for her, people were ragging on Isabella. She was pretty shaken up when she realized that nobody seemed to care about her side of the story. But could she really get mad when her own dad dissed her too?<br /> <br /> Isabella stepped down from the stage and nearly took a spill in her killer heels. Just in time, one guy reached out and saved her from a faceplant.<br /> <br /> "Thanks," Isabella mumbled, looking down.<br /> <br /> A chill voice came from up top, "Watch your step."<br /> <br /> Isabella regained her balance, raised her head, and met a pair of deep, calm eyes. She was momentarily stunned, charmed by the handsome face before her. This guy was something elseโstrong brows, dark blue eyes, the works. He was all smiles and chill vibes.<br /> <br /> She took a breath and laid it all out there, completely honest. "Hi! Are you single?"<br /> <br /> He was stunned but nodded.<br /> <br /> Ignoring the crowd's shocked gasps, Isabella was like, "I'm Isabella Sorenson, 22, still in college at University of Moulmore. I have 40% shares in Sorenson Multimedia and will inherit all the inheritance left by my granddad and mom when I turn 25. But for now, I'm penniless. I need to marry someone. You in?"<br /> <br /> Isabella locked eyes with the guy. She was ticked off for sure, but she didn't give a flip. Her life's been no cakewalk. She fell hard for Zachary, and he didn't even say 'my bad' for stabbing her in the back.<br /> <br /> Her mom's parting advice to Isabella was to play it cool, to roll with the punches. For years, she put up with the drama and what'd she get? Zilch, just a slap in the face and zero backup.<br /> <br /> Isabella thought, 'I'd rather throw the baby out with the bathwater at this point. They're all drooling over my wealth and gearing up to rip me off, right? Fine! I'll marry someone random and not give them a dime!'<br /> <br /> Then, like clockwork, someone in the peanut gallery was like, "Holy cow! Did Isabella just lose it? What's she yapping about now? Poor Zachary."<br /> <br /> "Totally shameless! Just grabs a guy and pops the question? And after Zachary's folks bent over backwards to get her to forgive him!" added another voice.<br /> <br /> Chapter 3 It Is Him<br /> Isabella stood next to the stage, and everybody caught every word she said. Nathan, Terence, and the crowd beelined to her.<br /> <br /> "Isabella Sorenson! Have you flipped your lid?" Nathan's face was all red.<br /> <br /> "No kidding! What's that even mean?" Winona added, looking all shook up.<br /> <br /> "Are you crazy? You're practically giving away your assets by doing this!" Lorelai was devastated.<br /> <br /> Isabella completely ignored the people behind her and focused on the man before her. "Sir, do you hear me? Marry me, and you will have a fortune in three years. It's a bargain."<br /> <br /> The man's clear gaze met hers, and he chuckled. "You know, guys usually do the proposing." His voice was low and sexy.<br /> <br /> Isabella was speechless, the crowd zipped it for a hot second, then split their sides laughing. They figured he ditched her.<br /> <br /> Nathan almost couldn't resist the urge to storm forward and kick Isabella. "Isabella! Get back here right now!"<br /> <br /> The man's low voice sounded right after Nathan finished his sentence. "I'll marry you."<br /> <br /> Complete silence ensued.<br /> <br /> "My name is Clayton Murray. I'm 28 years old and single. I work at Rayson International. Ms. Isabella Sorenson, will you marry me?" Clayton fixed his gaze upon Isabella.<br /> <br /> Tears fell from Isabella's big eyes. "Thank you! Yes, I will!"<br /> <br /> Inside, she's throwing high fives to luck. Finally, she could breathe. Didn't matter who he was as long as she was pulling herself out of the quicksand.<br /> <br /> And just like that, the crowd went wild.<br /> <br /> "Say what? That's Clayton Murray from Rayson International?" someone gasped.<br /> <br /> "Whoa, the legendary second son of the Murray family?" someone else hollered.<br /> <br /> "No way! I heard Clayton doesn't mix with ladies. Could this be a fake?" somebody wondered.<br /> <br /> "Bummer. Mr. Murray's like a ghostโnever seen in public or snapping selfies. How can we even know if it's really him?" another person pitched in.<br /> <br /> "He looks legit. I mean, who would have the guts to fake being Mr. Murray? Plus, dude's got charmโI hear the real Clayton's a looker," came a comment from the crowd.<br /> <br /> Isabella dried her eyes and spun around to face the stage crowd. "Just to be clearโZachary and I are done. We're out of each other's lives. Next up, I'm marryingโ"<br /> <br /> She had to check with Clayton because she blanked on his name.<br /> <br /> "Clayton." He gave her a small grin.<br /> <br /> "Yeah, Clayton!" Isabella said, staring them down without a wince.<br /> <br /> Nathan boomed, "Hold up; you're the Clayton Murray?"<br /> <br /> Clayton just gave a cool nod. "That's me."<br /> <br /> Terence's expression darkened. He glared at Zachary and Scarlett, thinking, 'It's all this little punk's fault!'<br /> <br /> Megan and Yvonne were stunned. 'How's he so drop-dead gorgeous?' they wondered incredulously.<br /> <br /> Clayton swept his glance across the stage. "You all must be Isabella's family. Sorry for taking the liberty to announce our marriage in this way today. I'll pay you a visit someday."<br /> <br /> After saying that, he turned around and linked arms with Isabella, his tone gentle as he spoke to her. "Let's go. What's going on here is none of our business."<br /> <br /> "Mr. Murray, don't be fooled by Isabella! Over the years, she has been a nuisance, trying all means to curry favor with Zach just to get married to him. A woman even Zach has abandoned doesn't deserve you!" Megan shouted eagerly. ''I won't let Isabella have such an excellent man all to herself! I'm better than her. Mr. Murray should marry me. Isabella is nothing compared to me!' she thought.<br /> <br /> "Yes, Mr. Murray. Please wait! Isabella hasn't gotten my dad's permission." Yvonne's soft voice was filled with anxiety. She wasn't as foolish and reckless as Megan, but she, too, wanted Clayton to herself. 'Everyone will think Clayton and Isabella are engaged if they leave like this. I won't allow this! Such an outstanding man should be mine,' she mused.<br /> <br /> "Dad, say something! How can you let Isabella leave like this? Mr. Winslow hasn't agreed to cancel the engagement yet!" Yvonne urged.<br /> <br /> Nathan met his beloved daughter's gaze and cleared his throat. "Isabella! Come back!"<br /> <br /> Terence and Lorelai exchanged glances before the latter shouted, "Isabella, stop messing around. Come back and let's talk things out."<br /> <br /> Isabella tightened her fists, and Clayton patted her on the arm as reassurance.<br /> <br /> He stopped, turned around, and glanced at the people on the stage. "Thank you, Mr. Zachary Winslow, for falling in love with someone else and giving Isabella to me."<br /> <br /> Everyone, including Isabella, looked at Clayton in surprise.<br /> <br /> Gazing at Clayton's side profile, Isabella thought, 'I'm so lucky today. This random man that I chose supports me without hesitation.'<br /> <br /> Clayton then looked at Nathan. "Mr. Ingram, do you have a problem with your daughter marrying me?"<br /> <br /> His voice was gentle and calm, but his domineering aura made Nathan flinch.<br /> <br /> "Zachary, my stomach hurts." An anguished voice rang out at that moment. Scarlett, grabbing Zachary, held her stomach and bent over in pain.<br /> <br /> "Scarlett, what's wrong?" The anxiety and concern in Zachary's voice were obvious.<br /> <br /> Isabella's gaze dimmed, and her heart ached when she saw how much Zachary cared for Scarlett. Lorelai and Terence looked at Scarlett furiously.<br /> <br /> Scarlett admitted timidly, "I-I have been pregnant for two months."<br /> <br /> "What? A-Are you pregnant with Zachary's child?" Lorelai was in shock.<br /> <br /> Scarlett nodded in pain. "Zachary, my stomach hurts."<br /> <br /> Zachary panicked and said, "T-Then, what should we do?" He didn't expect Scarlett to be pregnant. He looked at Isabella below the stage and averted his gaze upon noticing her tear-filled eyes.<br /> <br /> Chapter 4 Conspiracy<br /> "What are you still standing around for? Quick, get her to the hospital. The child's safety comes first," Lorelai said urgently, placing her future grandchild's well-being above all else.<br /> <br /> Clayton covered his mouth and stifled a chuckle. "Even in this situation, you still want your daughter to marry into a family like this, Mr. Ingram? What exactly do you hope to gain from the Winslow family?"<br /> <br /> His words caused a visible shift in everyone's expression.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Nathan's expression was grim.<br /> <br /> Marrying Isabella to Zachary was a strategic move for both families. However, if Clayton was willing to wed Isabella, he would become Nathan's son-in-law, with Rayson International as Nathan's backing.<br /> <br /> The value of one hundred Avid Ventures Real Estate paled in comparison to Rayson International. In the face of years of friendship and mutual benefits, Nathan was torn between loyalty and opportunity. He was a businessman, and he knew what he wanted.<br /> <br /> Clayton saw the calculative glint in Nathan's eyes, turned to Isabella, and softly inquired, "Shall we go?"<br /> <br /> Isabella tore her eyes away from Zachary and Scarlett, nodding gently.<br /> <br /> She visited the graves of her granddad and mother, George and Irina Sorenson, tenderly wiping their photos clean with a tissue.<br /> <br /> "I'm sorry, Granddad, Mom. Zachary and I are no longer together. Our marriage won't be happening," she murmured.<br /> <br /> Caressing Irina's photo on the tombstone, she couldn't control her tears. "I've tried to heed your advice, Mom, enduring everything. But now, I'm at my wit's end. I'm only 22 years old, still too young to take over the company with my current ability," she confessed.<br /> <br /> "I thought things would be fine once I got married, but now..." Isabella muffled her sobs with her hand, her body trembling as she knelt before the tombstone, curled into a small ball of grief.<br /> <br /> Since Irina's passing, Isabella had learned to endure silently through countless trials, enduring disdain from Nathan, Winona, and Yvonne. Growing up in a home that no longer felt like hers was a constant struggle, yet she clung to the hope that marrying Zachary would bring her freedom. She believed that everything would soon be fine.<br /> <br /> When Nathan told her about the engagement party that was about to be held, Isabella was overjoyed. They had planned to get married after her university graduation the following year, and once that happened, she'd finally be free.<br /> <br /> Zachary was the man she loved dearly, and she believed the union arranged by George and Irina must be the best course. After all, Zachary was the guardian angel George and Irina had chosen for her.<br /> <br /> Throughout her childhood, Zachary had been her constant companion, treating her with great care.<br /> <br /> George passed away when Isabella was just eight years old, followed by Irina when Isabella turned ten, enveloping her world in hues of gray.<br /> <br /> When Isabella turned twelve, Zachary left for his studies abroad.<br /> <br /> Tearfully, Isabella clung to his hand, reluctant to let him go, fearful of losing the sole connection she had left to George and Irina.<br /> <br /> She vividly recalled Zachary's promise as he held her hand and said, "Isabella, wait for me. I will come back and marry you when I'm grown up." Those words echoed constantly in her mind.<br /> <br /> Throughout the years, Isabella dedicated herself entirely to Zachary. She nurtured their relationship meticulously, treasuring their brief annual reunions, and worked tirelessly to mold herself into the person he admired, adapting to his preferences.<br /> <br /> Despite enduring ridicule, sarcasm, and insults from Megan and Yvonne, she clung to the belief that everything would be fine after she married Zachary.<br /> <br /> Marrying Zachary had been Isabella's primary motivation and ultimate goal throughout those years. Every future scenario she envisioned concluded with her union with Zachary.<br /> <br /> She firmly believed that marrying him would breathe new life into her existence, heralding a fresh chapter and a brighter future.<br /> <br /> Whenever she faced punishment and was locked in a dark room, whenever she suffered from hunger, whenever she faced difficulties, the mere thought of that envisioned future fueled her with boundless courage.<br /> <br /> Alas, that hope was shattered. The day she had dreamed of would never materialize. The envisioned future dissolved, leaving behind a shattered world. Isabella felt as though her heart had been torn from her chest, leaving behind an agonizing void.<br /> <br /> After a long while of weeping silently, Isabella raised her head, wiping away tears with trembling hands, and pledged, "Granddad, Mom, from now on, I'll live for myself. I'll do my best to not let you down." Despite the pain, she knew that life must persist, regardless of the circumstances.<br /> <br /> As Isabella left the cemetery, the sun had already descended below the horizon.<br /> <br /> Clayton's car waited silently by the gate, catching Isabella off guard. Stepping out of the vehicle, Clayton opened the passenger seat door for her. She said in a low voice as she settled into the seat, "Thank you."<br /> <br /> Clayton got back in the car and glanced at Isabella. Her eyes and nose were red, and she looked exhausted. "Let's find a place for you to rest," Clayton suggested.<br /> <br /> Isabella shook her head, recognizing the inevitability of confronting what lay ahead. "Mr. Murray, thanks for your help today," she croaked, her voice strained from emotion.<br /> <br /> Clayton started the car and asked, "Where do you want to go?"<br /> <br /> "Could you please drive me home?" Isabella requested softly.<br /> <br /> After confirming the address, Clayton fell into silence as Isabella leaned against the window, closing her eyes for the journey home.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, at the Ingram residence, Nathan, Winona, and Yvonne sat facing each other on the couch in solemn silence.<br /> <br /> Breaking the silence, Yvonne implored, "Dad, you can't allow Isabella to marry Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> Nathan, having deliberated the matter during his return journey, felt a disquieting unease despite acknowledging the potential benefits of Isabella's union with Clayton. When pressed by Yvonne, he couldn't help but raise his gaze to meet hers, questioning, "Why?"<br /> <br /> Yvonne hesitated, not knowing what to say, thinking, 'I can't say I should be the one to marry Mr. Murray, right?' She glanced at Winona.<br /> <br /> Winona, pouring a cup of coffee for Nathan, said with composure, "Nate, it's widely known that Isabella and Zachary have been engaged to each other since childhood. Considering her background, it's not suitable for her to wed into the Murray family. Won't they look down on her?"<br /> <br /> Chapter 5 Stirring Up Trouble<br /> Nathan furrowed his brow in response, stating, "That's her decision to make. If she chooses to marry Mr. Murray, and if the Murrays look down on her, she only has herself to blame."<br /> <br /> Winona exchanged a meaningful glance with Yvonne before continuing, "While that may be true, she's still your daughter. If there's talk about her outside, it inevitably reflects on us as well. That's not good."<br /> <br /> Winona looked up at Nathan, who listened intently. "I'm not her biological mother, so I have no authority to discipline her," she began. "As you can see, she rarely communicates with us these years and has her own ideas. What happened today was saddening. She humiliated you in front of everyone. It's one thing for her to disrespect me over the years, but the way she treated you today was unacceptable. Despite my efforts, she only acknowledges Irina as her mother, thinking that we owe her."<br /> <br /> Tears welled up in Winona's eyes as she sniffled. "I know what you're thinking. A marriage of convenience with the Murray family will benefit the company greatly. However, if Isabella doesn't stand by you, then..."<br /> <br /> Her words trailed off, but her meaning was clear.<br /> <br /> Yvonne's gaze flickered as she inwardly praised her mother's wisdom. "Exactly, Dad. We can't squander resources. Even if Isabella married into the Winslow family, there's no guaranteeing she'll put in a good word for you. Your partnership with Mr. Winslow has been smooth-sailing, and that's based on your friendship with him, not Isabella's involvement," Yvonne chimed in.<br /> <br /> Nathan suddenly realized what had been bothering him. Isabella's defiance had caught him off guard. He desired a compliant daughter, not one with her own convictions. He glanced at them, took a sip of coffee, and asked in a deep voice, "So, what do you guys suggest?"<br /> <br /> Winona and Yvonne exchanged a glance. Winona gently proposed, "Nate, we can't trust Isabella, but we can rely on Yvonne. She's our biological daughter."<br /> <br /> Nathan's focus shifted to Yvonne, who appeared bashful. "Mom, we're talking about Isabella. Why bring me up?"<br /> <br /> Winona's expression grew stern. "Yvonne, I'm serious. You're our daughter. You can't just enjoy the privileges your father provides. You must share his burden, understand?" she chided.<br /> <br /> Yvonne straightened up, raising her hand in a playful gesture. "Yes, Mom, I understand. I'll be there for Dad whenever he needs me," she vowed with a smile.<br /> <br /> Nathan was reassured by her promise. Nodding, he remarked, "Winona, you've raised her well. Isabella, on the other hand, is truly disappointing."<br /> <br /> Winona smiled faintly, "My hands are tied. Anything I say as her stepmother could easily be misinterpreted as having ulterior motives."<br /> <br /> "Hmph! It's because she doesn't know what's best for her," Nathan snorted. Then, he frowned. "Are you suggesting that Yvonne should marry into the Murray family?"<br /> <br /> Winona nodded, affirming, "We can trust Yvonne. She's our sweetheart."<br /> <br /> "But Yvonne is only twenty," Nathan voiced his concern. He had always cherished Yvonne and had never contemplated marrying her off at such a young age.<br /> <br /> Knowing that he was wavering, Winona smiled reassuringly, "So what if she's twenty? We can arrange for the marriage now and wait for Yvonne to graduate from university before holding the wedding. That doesn't make much difference."<br /> <br /> Nathan cradled his forehead, contemplating her proposal.<br /> <br /> "Dad, if it benefits our family, I'm in. Trust me; I'll try my best to ensure our family's prosperity," Yvonne declared resolutely, biting her lip as if determined to sacrifice herself for the family.<br /> <br /> Nathan eventually nodded in agreement, which put a smile on Yvonne's face.<br /> <br /> However, Winona intervened softly, "But, Nate, we're not acquainted with Mr. Murray. Perhaps we'll need Isabella to introduce us?"<br /> <br /> Yvonne was taken aback, immediately objecting, "Why should she introduce us? As we saw today, she asked Mr. Murray to marry her on the spur of the moment. Mr. Murray agreed as soon as she mentioned it. So, why can't we approach him directly?"<br /> <br /> Yvonne considered herself superior to Isabella. She mused inwardly, 'In terms of appearance and figure, I'm much better than that country bumpkin. Why should Isabella, who's inferior to me, get to marry such a perfect man? Since Mr. Murray agreed to Isabella's proposal, he'd agree to mine too.'<br /> <br /> Nathan thought her words made sense and pondered for a moment. "Well, how about we pay a visit to Rayson International tomorrow?"<br /> <br /> Outside the Ingram residence, Clayton parked the car and glanced at Isabella who was already asleep in the passenger seat.<br /> <br /> It should've been her engagement party that day. She wore a white knee-length dress, her pinned-up hair already disheveled, with several strands hanging down. Her delicate face appeared particularly pale. She didn't change much since childhood. As she jumped down from the stage, Clayton was struck by the pain and resolution reflected in her eyes.<br /> <br /> 'It seems like she's been struggling all these years,' Clayton thought, tenderly tucking her hair behind her ear.<br /> <br /> Isabella's long lashes quivered slightly as she stirred awake at his touch, momentarily confused upon seeing Clayton.<br /> <br /> "Are you awake?" Clayton asked gently.<br /> <br /> Isabella blinked, and the memories of what happened flooded back. She took a deep breath, attempting to quell the overwhelming pain pulsating through her veins.<br /> <br /> Gazing toward the Ingram residence, she was enveloped by a chilling coldness. This place had been her home, yet since the age of ten, she felt like a superfluous presence there.<br /> <br /> Previously, Zachary's presence had somewhat eased the void left by George and Irina. However, at present, she was all alone.<br /> <br /> The gate of the residence was like a gaping maw, ready to devour her and the legacy of George and Irina at any moment.<br /> <br /> "Do you need me to go in there with you?" Clayton asked softly, observing Isabella, who was staring into space.<br /> <br /> Isabella slowly shook her head. Staring directly ahead, she spoke to Clayton in a composed but distant manner. "Mr. Murray, can we make a deal? I need to leave this place now, but they won't allow me to rent a house independently. Our school's in the middle of renovations, and once the new semester kicks off, students like us who are in the senior year will have to find internship positions on our own, and we can no longer live in dorms. The only option left for me is to get married. Once I get married, I can leave for good."<br /> <br /> Clayton tightened his grip on the steering wheel.<br /> <br /> "I propose we marry, and I'll move into your residence. I'll reside there and pay you rent. If I face financial constraints, I'll provide you with a promissory note. I've mentioned that I'll inherit some assets after turning twenty-five. At that point, I'll settle all my debts to you. Then, we'll proceed with divorce proceedings, and I'll allocate half of the inheritance I receive to you as compensation for marrying me now," Isabella explained.<br /> <br /> Chapter 6 Realization<br /> Isabella declared resolutely, "I will draft a formal agreement stating our rights and responsibilities. Our union will only be a sham marriage. Should you happen to develop feelings for someone else during this time, I ask that you wait until we've been married for at least a year before seeking a divorce. I assure you, my commitment to our arrangement stands firm, and you will receive every cent of your compensation as promised. With this agreement in place, we can ensure fairness for both parties."<br /> <br /> Noticing a pen and paper tucked under the armrest, Isabella grabbed them, jotting down her phone number before passing it to Clayton. "Here is my contact information. Take your time to ponder my proposal; however, I expect your response within three days. Do not delay." With that, Isabella exited the car and left, leaving Clayton staring at the note in his hand blankly.<br /> <br /> Her decisiveness left Clayton momentarily stunned.<br /> <br /> He couldn't help chuckling as he watched Isabella walk away in determined strides. "Isabella, I'm back. I'll stand by your side no matter what you do," Clayton murmured, thinking, 'I'll let her do whatever she wants. Whatever happens, I'll clean up after her.' Even if she didn't know who he was, Nathan did. Nathan'd never dare to lay a hand on her.<br /> <br /> *****<br /> <br /> Dinner was served in a peaceful ambiance.<br /> <br /> "Ms. Sorenson, you've returned." One of the maids, Elsie Anderson, was surprised to see Isabella.<br /> <br /> Isabella paid no heed to the mix of surprise and disdain the other three were displaying. "Dad, Winona." Dipping her head, she greeted them before settling at the table, accepting the soup bowl offered by Elsie.<br /> <br /> She hadn't eaten anything since morning and was starving. Clayton had suggested taking her to dinner earlier, but she had declined. She would have to face this sooner or later, so why delay it?<br /> <br /> "Isabella, why are you only back now? Mom and Dad were too worried to eat," Yvonne said, sharing a meaningful glance with Winona.<br /> <br /> Nathan's expression darkened.<br /> <br /> Isabella finished her soup and put down the spoon. Disregarding the cold leftovers on the table, she explained, "I went to visit Grandpa and Mom. I needed to inform them that Zachary and I have called off our engagement."<br /> <br /> Nathan sneered, "And they didn't reprimand you?"<br /> <br /> Isabella lowered her head in silence.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, you've pissed your dad off today. How could you embarrass him in front of everyone?" Winona said softly.<br /> <br /> "Mom, don't blame Isabella. Remember, she's the eldest daughter of the Sorenson family and the designated heiress of Sorenson Multimedia. Dad wouldn't hold it against her. Who knows what those shareholders might say if he did?" Yvonne interjected, stealing glances at Nathan.<br /> <br /> Nathan's expression darkened further as his gaze bore into Isabella.<br /> <br /> Isabella quietly ate the food Elsie gave her. She had gotten used to such drama. Winona and Yvonne always sowed discord between her and Nathan. Then, endless insults would ensue that would sometimes escalate into physical abuse.<br /> <br /> She was a Sorenson, and her father was an Ingram. That was one of her sins.<br /> <br /> Nathan didn't lose his temper. Instead, he snorted derisively before leaving the dining room.<br /> <br /> Winona shot a glance and Yvonne and Isabella before following Nathan out.<br /> <br /> As soon as her parents left, Yvonne abandoned her facade of dignity. Casting a scornful glance at Isabella, who remained meek and reserved as always, she said sarcastically, "I'm amazed you still have the nerve to stay alive. If I were in your shoes, I'd have put an end to it all by now. Maybe flung myself into a river or hung myself. Anything's better than living like this. Your fiancรฉ despises you and cheats on you with your closest friend. Aren't you devastated? How do you even have an appetite?"<br /> <br /> After taking the final bite, Isabella met Yvonne's gaze with indifference. "I've found someone willing to wed me."<br /> <br /> Yvonne scoffed, "Wake up, will you? Do you honestly believe you're the eldest daughter of the Sorenson family?"<br /> <br /> Isabella merely looked at her coldly. Yvonne often carried herself with elegance and composure in public. Isabella was perhaps the only person who had seen her true colors.<br /> <br /> She thought, 'Does Yvonne ever get tired of pretending? I pretend to be indifferent and weak because Winona and Yvonne forced me to, but no one's forcing Yvonne. So why is she pretending?'<br /> <br /> "What're you looking at?" Yvonne bellowed at Isabella. Isabella's charming face never failed to anger her. 'Why does she get all the luck? A wealthy grandfather and mother, and even that envy-inducing face!' she seethed inwardly.<br /> <br /> Yvonne sent her plate hurtling toward Isabella.<br /> <br /> Isabella rose from her seat, narrowly dodging the plate as it crashed to the ground.<br /> <br /> "What's wrong?" Winona asked loudly.<br /> <br /> Yvonne glared at Isabella.<br /> <br /> Normally, Isabella would've quickly apologized to Winona, saying she had accidentally broken the plate. Yet, today, Isabella simply turned to face the incensed Yvonne in silence.<br /> <br /> Elsie interjected fearfully, "Mrs. Ingram, I'm sorry; I accidentally dropped a plate."<br /> <br /> Both Isabella and Yvonne looked at Elsie at the same time.<br /> <br /> Yvonne shot daggers at Elsie before exiting the dining room.<br /> <br /> Elsie tugged at Isabella's arm, whispering, "Ms. Sorenson, just endure it. This too shall pass."<br /> <br /> Endure. It was a mantra instilled in Isabella since childhood by Elsie and also what her late mother said to her. Today, however, she realized that enduring only made things worse.<br /> <br /> Isabella hurried to the bathroom, changing out of the dress and cleansing herself of the shame it carried. She then returned to her room on the second floor, a windowless storeroom bereft of sunlight year-round. She even had to use the maid's bathroom. Besides Elsie, no one would regard her as the family's eldest daughter.<br /> <br /> The luxurious room that her grandfather and mother decorated was handed over to Yvonne just a month after Winona and Yvonne's arrival. Isabella's living quarters changed each time she made a "mistake" until she found herself relegated to the storeroom, a decision that satisfied Winona and Yvonne at last.<br /> <br /> This was the consequence of endurance.<br /> <br /> Isabella curled up on the cramped bed, the air stifling and hot. The wind could only filter in when the door was opened. Yet, she didn't want to move, let alone open the door.<br /> <br /> Isabella closed her eyes, the events of the day replaying in her mind. She watched them unfold once more like a distant observer.<br /> <br /> The moment Zachary started dating Scarlett remained a mystery to her.<br /> <br /> Since Zachary's return from abroad, he started work in his family's company, leaving little opportunity for him and Isabella to spend time together. Isabella was never one to inconvenience others, so she never interrupted Zachary's work. Understanding his desire for a compliant girlfriend, she made every effort to fit that mold.<br /> <br /> Ever since Zachary returned, the two families celebrated festivals together, which Isabella enjoyed.<br /> <br /> Zachary didn't treat her poorly or particularly well, but he and Yvonne were tight. They got along well, even though Zachary used to dislike Yvonne as a kid.<br /> <br /> Chapter 7 Truth<br /> Today, Scarlett claimed Isabella had forgiven them, which was nonsense. Isabella didn't know anything about their affair.<br /> <br /> Isabella wondered, 'Why would she say that? Was it to make Zachary turn against me? If that's the case, it's obvious who played the video. However, Scarlett isn't stupid. There are so many ways to let me know, so why did she choose this one? Doing so will only cause her more harm than good. Oh, right, because doing so makes it seem like my handiwork. No one will suspect Scarlett of selling herself out. As for Zachary, he is always on Scarlett's side. He never admitted his mistake or apologized. He kept emphasizing that Scarlett is my good friend and that I should be nice to her. Zachary, am I being nice to her by letting you go? Why do you take everything I do for granted?'<br /> <br /> Isabella's heart ached as she recalled the tender look Zachary reserved for Scarlett.<br /> <br /> Zachary had never looked at her like that before. 'I'm just not worth his affection, huh?' she pondered.<br /> <br /> Lorelai's words hit Isabella like a sudden storm. Throughout the years, Lorelai treated Isabella well. Isabella once believed she was sincere and even vowed to take good care of Lorelai after the marriage.<br /> <br /> However, it turned out that Lorelai valued her social status and assets. That was probably her second original sin.<br /> <br /> Isabella held a significant 40% stake in Sorenson Multimedia, making her the company's largest shareholder. However, because of her youth, all the dividends from this ownership were directed into a trust established by her grandfather, which remained inaccessible until she reached the age of 25. She wouldn't receive her inheritance from her grandfather and mother until that time.<br /> <br /> Today, she finally realized that the Winslow family's acceptance of her wasn't based on genuine affection or sympathy for her loss of her mother. It also wasn't due to their acquaintance with her late mother and grandfather either. Instead, it was because of the assets she would eventually possess.<br /> <br /> They were kind to her because of her assets, and cruel to her for the same reason.<br /> <br /> Nathan had always been eyeing the property Isabella could inherit, especially because Yvonne didn't have any. When Isabella turned 18, Nathan deemed her old enough to handle her inheritance. He once pressured her to draft a document pledging half of the property to Yvonne. However, his plan was thwarted when the lawyer and four key company shareholders intervened.<br /> <br /> George and Irina foresaw the possibility of someone coveting the assets and therefore imposed an age restriction of 25. At 18, Isabella didn't have the authority to transfer her future assets.<br /> <br /> Nathan had married into the Sorenson family, so any child he had with Irina must carry the Sorenson name, while offspring from other relationships would not inherit this family name.<br /> <br /> Thus, Isabella was the only heiress of the Sorenson family.<br /> <br /> Furthermore, if Nathan decided to transfer his shares to Yvonne rather than Isabella, the four main investors would pull out their money from Sorenson Multimedia. The company had always been in the hands of the Sorenson family, and it would stay that way.<br /> <br /> If the major investors withdrew their support, the company would collapse, as Nathan's 30% stake alone wouldn't be enough to sustain it. Nathan's family eventually gave up on their plan.<br /> <br /> Instead of trying to butter Isabella up to get their way, they chose to resent her even more. Isabella couldn't help but admire them for that, for they didn't yield in the face of greed.<br /> <br /> Another way to access her wealth was by letting her marry Zachary.<br /> <br /> In this scenario, her property would serve as her dowry, to be shared with the Winslow family upon marriage. Given Isabella's infatuation with Zachary, she would likely agree to this arrangement. Consequently, Nathan collaborated with the Winslow family on various investment and development endeavors in recent years, aiming to reap the maximum benefits in due time.<br /> <br /> "Grandpa, Mom, 25 isn't a safe age either. If I were an idiot, I'd still be an idiot at 25 years old," Isabella murmured.<br /> <br /> Luckily, misfortune wasn't the only thing the heavens bestowed upon her. At least Zachary found his true love. She wondered if that had anything to do with divine intervention.<br /> <br /> Getting out of bed, she used a nearby book to fan herself.<br /> <br /> 'Time to draw up a contract for Clayton. If he's sensible, he'll agree to my terms,' she thought. Isabella needed to move out as soon as possible. She had neither the energy nor the mood to deal with Yvonne and Winona's tricks anymore.<br /> <br /> They wouldn't let her rent a place outside, because that would make it hard for them to control her. Also, that would bring disgrace upon the Sorenson family. The only escape route left was to get married.<br /> <br /> The identity of her partner hardly mattered, as long as he was a true gentleman. She would draft a pact, ensuring her safety and rights were protected. And in return, she would offer him the benefits he rightly deserved, for he would be her savior.<br /> <br /> She needed to find a place to settle down and focus on earning money, aiming to gather 300 thousand dollars within a year to finance her studies in Upria for the next five years. It wasn't much, but she could continue earning while studying.<br /> <br /> Her future needed replanning. This time, she was on her own, and she vowed to protect herself from harm.<br /> <br /> The next morning, Nathan took Yvonne to Rayson International. As they stood outside the towering structure, Yvonne was exhilarated.<br /> <br /> Amidst the bustling heart of the city, the building stood tall and majestic. The employees were in a hurry, but their demeanor radiated confidence and pride unmatched by those of other companies.<br /> <br /> A smile crept onto Yvonne's face as she envisioned herself as the owner of this impressive building and the wife of its esteemed boss, overseeing these elite professionals in the future.<br /> <br /> Clayton accepted the document from his assistant, Johnny Lawton, signing it before instructing, "Get in touch with Kayson and have him find a place for me near University of Moulmore. Something around 1,000 square feet, suitable for two people, and fully equipped with all the essentials."<br /> <br /> Johnny answered, "Okay."<br /> <br /> Seeing that Clayton was reading a contract, Johnny called Kayson.<br /> <br /> After a while, Kayson entered. "Boss, what do you think about Moonlight Apartment near University of Moulmore? It's just a ten-minute stroll from the campus, and boasts a thriving community with all the amenities you could need."<br /> <br /> Clayton thought for a moment, but the name didn't ring a bell. "Okay. Go ahead and purchase a unit."<br /> <br /> Kayson laughed, "Boss, that's our property. You reserved a suite for yourself on the 28th floor. I was wondering why you never brought it up again. Turns out you forgot."<br /> <br /> Johnny glared at him. "Cut the crap and get it sorted already."<br /> <br /> Clayton glanced at Kayson but remained silent. Kayson stuck out his tongue playfully, heading toward the door. "Boss, will you be living alone or will Mr. Maguire be joining you?"<br /> <br /> Without looking up, Clayton responded, "It'll be me and my wife."<br /> <br /> Chapter 8 Will You Marry Me Instead?<br /> Clayton continued working on the document while Johnny and Kayson stiffened. Johnny, usually collected, also stared at Clayton in disbelief.<br /> <br /> Kayson's mouth hung open. "Y-You and who, Boss?"<br /> <br /> Clayton glanced up at them, answering flatly, "My wife. Do you have a hearing problem?"<br /> <br /> Kayson gaped in shock at Clayton, who kept working, then turned to the equally dumbfounded Johnny.<br /> <br /> Another assistant, Weston Quinn, entered the office. "Mr. Murray, Mr. Nathan Ingram and his daughter are here to see you."<br /> <br /> Clayton didn't look up. "Did they make an appointment?"<br /> <br /> Weston shook his head. "No, but he mentioned Isabella Sorenson. Said you'd know right away."<br /> <br /> Clayton's head snapped up at once. "All right, bring them up."<br /> <br /> Weston was stunned, for he seemed to have caught a glimpse of a smile on Clayton's face.<br /> <br /> However, he blinked and thought his eyes must've been playing tricks. Noticing how Kayson was rooted in his spot, Weston presumed Kayson had been lectured again and hurriedly turned to leave.<br /> <br /> Clayton glimpsed at Kayson. "Why are you still here?"<br /> <br /> Kayson jolted out of his daze, murmuring, "T-This feels too surreal..."<br /> <br /> Clayton glanced at Johnny, who quickly composed himself, clenched his fists, and cleared his throat before saying, "This information is somewhat... unexpected. It's only normal that Kay needs a moment to process it, Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> Johnny then glared at Kayson. "What are you still waiting for? Go get it done."<br /> <br /> Promptly, Kayson exited the room, still looking thunderstruck.<br /> <br /> He had just shut the door when he saw Hendrix Henderson working in the personal assistants' office. "Hens, let me pinch you and see if it hurts!" Kayson reached for Hendrix's handsome face, but Hendrix swatted Kayson's hand away with a folder.<br /> <br /> "Oh, get lost. Pinch yourself." Hendrix scowled. "What's the matter with you this early in the morning? You got scolded again? You were in there for so long."<br /> <br /> Kayson retracted his throbbing hand in a heartbeat. "Ouch, that hurts! So this isn't a dream!"<br /> <br /> Hendrix rolled his eyes, used to how Kayson would act up at least a few times a day.<br /> <br /> All four of Clayton's personal assistants were men. Johnny had been with Clayton the longest and resembled Clayton most, as cold and aloof. Weston and Hendrix, while mostly reserved, still wore their emotions on their faces from time to time. As for Kayson, he was the lone constant jokester of the group.<br /> <br /> Kayson looked at Hendrix intently. "Do you have any idea what I was tasked with?"<br /> <br /> Hendrix couldn't be bothered to answer, knowing Kayson would continue talking regardless of whether there was any response.<br /> <br /> Kayson's Adam's apple bobbed. "Boss told me to buy him an apartment. He said it's for him and his wife."<br /> <br /> Hendrix's fingers that were flying over the keyboard froze. "Are you still half-asleep? You must've heard wrong, and so absurd at that. Watch yourself, or Johnny will come give you an earful!"<br /> <br /> Kayson snatched the folder from Hendrix and insisted, "It's true! Johnny is in there. He heard it too. Ask him if you don't believe me."<br /> <br /> Before Hendrix could reply, they spotted Weston leading Nathan and Yvonne over. Kayson's eyes widened at the sight of Yvonne while he nudged Hendrix.<br /> <br /> Hendrix looked over, thinking, 'My, isn't she a beauty? What's going on here? Could she be the "wife" that Boss was referring to?'<br /> <br /> Weston was perplexed when he caught sight of the duo's transfixed gazes. 'What's up with those two? Why do they look so stunned?' he wondered.<br /> <br /> Yvonne had been pumped up the moment she stepped into the lobby. The low-key yet lavish interior of Rayson International made the Sorenson Multimedia and the Winslow family's Avid Ventures Real Estate that she was familiar with seem like night and day.<br /> <br /> As she expected, meeting Clayton was no easy feat. Clayton never entertained visitors without appointments despite Nathan making his identity known.<br /> <br /> Luckily, Isabella's name had worked in their favor. 'Looks like he still remembers yesterday's incident. In that case, he will surely recognize me, too. The gown I wore was tailor-made and cost ten times more than Isabella's, practically making me the star of the event. There's no way he'll forget my pretty face,' she mused in glee.<br /> <br /> Yvonne's heart raced involuntarily when she saw Clayton's assistant coming to escort them upstairs. She thought giddily, 'My goodness, Weston's quite the looker. What a pity that he isn't pursuing a celebrity career.'<br /> <br /> They had taken the private elevator up to Clayton's office, where another two astonished yet dashing men stood by the entrance. Yvonne was beyond thrilled on the inside, confident they were amazed by her beauty. 'I knew it. No one will overlook my looks with Isabella absent. See, even Mr. Murray's assistants are mesmerized by me,' she pondered, brimming with confidence and anticipation.<br /> <br /> After Weston knocked on the door, a deep voice rang out from inside. "Come in."<br /> <br /> Weston opened the door and politely gestured for Nathan and Yvonne to enter. "Mr. and Ms. Ingram are here, Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> Clayton looked up, his gaze and voice turning cold as he questioned Weston, "Didn't you say Ms. Isabella Sorenson was here?"<br /> <br /> Weston turned quizzically to Nathan.<br /> <br /> Nathan was all smiles as he stepped forward eagerly. "Hello, Mr. Murray! I'm Nathan Ingram. Isabella's my daughter."<br /> <br /> Clayton did not get up or spare a glance at Nathan's extended hand. "Where's Isabella?"<br /> <br /> Nathan awkwardly retracted his hand. "Ah, Isabella. She's, uh..."<br /> <br /> "Mr. Murray, my sister wanted us to inform you that she can't marry you," Yvonne chimed in gently while staring at Clayton.<br /> <br /> Clayton arched an eyebrow at the father-daughter duo.<br /> <br /> Nathan clenched his fist at his side and said solemnly, "That's right. We've come to explain the situation. Isabella is already engaged, so she can't marry you. But I have anotherโ"<br /> <br /> "Mr. Ingram!" Clayton interrupted frigidly. "Hasn't it already been made clear to everyone yesterday? Isabella called off the engagement with her ex-fiancรฉ and asked me to marry her. If she wants to go back on her word, she'll have to tell me herself!"<br /> <br /> Nathan's face fell as it dawned on him that Clayton was serious about the marriage.<br /> <br /> Yvonne became anxious. "I don't think you understand, Mr. Murray. Her and Zachary's marriage contract is set in stone. It was personally arranged by her mother. Isabella can't call the shots!"<br /> <br /> Clayton leaned back, arms crossed. "Oh? How about me, then? Mr. Ingram, as I said yesterday, nobody has dared to stop me from doing anything I want. Have you forgotten that, or did you choose not to believe me?"<br /> <br /> Clayton stared at Nathan, who instinctively lowered his head in the face of Clayton's overwhelmingly imposing aura. A shiver ran down Nathan's spine. "O-Of course not, Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> "Then what are you doing here now?" Clayton's voice was utterly icy.<br /> <br /> Yvonne boldly met his eyes. "Mr. Murray, I'm Yvonne Ingram, 20 this year, currently a sophomore at the University of Moulmore, majoring in economics and management, and future heiress to Sorenson Multimedia. Will you marry me instead?" She had dressed to the nines to meet him today, convinced that she could catch his fancy. | Endless Stories | 206 | https://facebook.com/61555726498427 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

The young billionaire whispered with his hand grabbing Isabella's, who was in a wedding gown.<br /> "Do you need me to help you seek revenge? Whether it's the scumbag who betrayed you or your stepmother, they're nothing in front of me."<br /> Isabella looked at the handsome man in front of her and nodded.<br /> "Marry me, and we'll let them regret it for the rest of their lives."<br /> <br /> Chapter 1 Betrayal<br /> Up on the massive screen, a couple in their birthday suits were all tangled up, getting hot and heavy, and the surround sound was blasting every moan and breath.<br /> <br /> The lady had curves for days and her skin was mad smooth. Then there came a close-up of their faces.<br /> <br /> Isabella Sorenson was struck dumb, staring up at the screen, and she felt like she'd just been punched in the gut. The naked couple were none other than her main squeeze Zachary Winslow and her bestie Scarlett Pearson.<br /> <br /> And no joke, they were both right there next to her because today was supposed to be Isabella and Zachary's engagement party.<br /> <br /> Just a second before, that screen was showing cute throwbacks of Zachary and Isabella growing up together, while some dude was talking all mushy about it. It went from little Isabella at three to Zachary at seven, and then instead of more childhood pictures, the screen switched to the hookup video.<br /> <br /> "Ah!" Scarlett let out a scream and threw her arms around Zachary.<br /> <br /> Now, if anybody was still clueless about who were up on that screen, everything was out in the open. While Isabella was stuck on the spot, Zachary was hugging Scarlett.<br /> <br /> The whole place exploded with whispers and gasps.<br /> <br /> "Yo, ain't that Isabella's ride-or-die?" one guest whispered.<br /> <br /> "Seriously, Ms. Sorenson got played?" chimed in another.<br /> <br /> "Yo, check out that bod!" somebody else hollered.<br /> <br /> "What's going on?" Isabella's father, Nathan Ingram, was freaking out, trying to cover up the screen, but this screen was enormous. Though he was like pushing six feet, he looked straight-up silly trying to block it.<br /> <br /> Terence Winslow, Zachary's father, was beet red but he bolted toward the control room to turn off the screen.<br /> <br /> Scarlett, her eyes leaking like a faucet, hit Isabella with the puppy dog eyes. "Isabella, didn't you pinky swear to let this go? I promised I'd ditch Zachary and leave town the second you're engaged. Why you gotta blast this now? Are you trying to ruin me?"<br /> <br /> When Scarlett clung to Zachary, he looked kinda red-faced but went wide-eyed the second he heard what Scarlett said. Holding her firmly, he asked, "What are you saying, Scarlett? Isabella forced you to leave?"<br /> <br /> It was as if a bomb had detonated within Isabella's mind, leaving her stunned and disoriented. She stared blankly at Zachary, her childhood sweetheart. Ever since she could remember, Isabella had made up her mind to spend the rest of her life with Zachary.<br /> <br /> 'When did he and Scarlett become a thing? And when did I ever agree not to pursue this matter? What's going on here? What are they talking about?' Isabelle wondered.<br /> <br /> "How could you be so vicious, setting up your own fiancรฉ and best friend?" Zachary's sister, Megan Winslow, shoved Isabella on the shoulder.<br /> <br /> Isabella, in a daze, didn't see that coming and staggered backward until she ended up right beside Nathan.<br /> <br /> Nathan was filled with fury. Raising his hand, he slapped her in the face. "Look at what you've done! You've brought disgrace upon both our families!"<br /> <br /> Before Isabella could even regain her balance, she was knocked to the ground by the slap. Zachary grew anxious and instinctively wanted to help her up, but Scarlett tightened her grip on his arm.<br /> <br /> Isabella turned and caught a glance of the smugness in Scarlett's eyes.<br /> <br /> "How can you hit your child? Come on, get up, Isabella." A voice was heard as a pair of hands helped Isabella to her feet.<br /> <br /> Terence sighed, "Isabella, don't blame your father. What you did was really out of line."<br /> <br /> Lorelai Winslow, Zachary's mother, pointed at Scarlett and said, "Where did you come from? You must have seduced my son. Get out of here! I'll never let you become part of our family!"<br /> <br /> Scarlett hid behind Zachary like a scared puppy.<br /> <br /> Zachary positioned himself protectively in front of Scarlett, his voice firm as he addressed his mother. "Mom, don't blame Scarlett. Isabella, she's your best friend. You can't push her to the brink like this!"<br /> <br /> With Terence's support, Isabella finally got back to her feet. A solitary tear traced its path down her cheek. As she gazed up at Zachary, the man she had loved for most of her life, she realized he had become a stranger in the blink of an eye.<br /> <br /> 'Scarlett's supposed to be my best friend. He knows that. They play me and now it's my bad?' she thought.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, I can't even with you. Zach, how can you tie the knot with her? After you're hitched, who knows what stories she'll spin? Can't trust her. Not one bit!" Megan was throwing shade at Isabella before turning to Zachary, all concerned.<br /> <br /> Megan had been in the same class as Isabella back in high school, but they never really hit it off. Megan always teamed up with Yvonne Ingram to give Isabella a hard time. Plus, Megan detested the idea of Isabella becoming part of her family.<br /> <br /> "Zip it! Isabella is the eldest daughter of the esteemed Sorenson family. And who's that chick? Does she possess the same standing as Isabella? How could the Winslow family be cool with letting just anyone in?" Lorelai snapped off, not realizing she was pretty loud.<br /> <br /> Lorelai wasn't Isabella's number one fan, but she was all about that social ladder. Having Isabella marry in was like a major level-up for Zachary. No other high-class family had a daughter that could touch Isabella's status. Plus, Isabella was the kind of person one could sway pretty easy.<br /> <br /> So yeah, Lorelai had to make it crystal clearโthey couldn't let Isabella slip away.<br /> <br /> At first, Isabella kind of felt thankful to her future mother-in-law for stepping up, but then it hit her why she really did it.<br /> <br /> "Yes! Isabella, you're the eldest daughter of the Sorenson family. You should consider the reputations of the Sorenson family, the Ingram family, and the Winslow family before doing this!" Yvonne chimed in, looking all stressed.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, you've just crushed your dad. His heart's in pieces," Winona said, sounding all sweet but sad.<br /> <br /> Winona and Yvonne dropping those lines just made Nathan and Terence pull grumpier faces. 'She's gotta grow up. Can't be airing our dirty laundry like this!' they thought.<br /> <br /> Chapter 2 Proposal<br /> Isabella looked at the people around her.<br /> <br /> Her father, Nathan, was boiling mad.<br /> <br /> Her stepmother, Winona, and her half-sister, Yvonne, were getting a kick out of the drama.<br /> <br /> Her future father-in-law Terence was just shaking his head, and future mother-in-law Lorelai was cringing.<br /> <br /> Her would-be sister-in-law Megan was glaring holes through her.<br /> <br /> Her fiancรฉ, Zachary, didn't know what to do. In his arms was the pitiful woman, Scarlett, who was once her best friend.<br /> <br /> These folks were Isabella's whole world. And just like that, the world flipped, leaving Isabella as the one everyone was pointing fingers at.<br /> <br /> Isabella brushed away the tears and said lightly, "I hereby announce that Zachary Winslow and Isabella Sorenson's marriage contract has been canceled. We have nothing to do with each other from now on. I wish you happiness!" Then she bounced off the stage.<br /> <br /> Her dad Nathan jumped in, "Hold up, you think it's just up to you? You and Zachary were a done deal before you were even a twinkle. Don't even try to ditch this without my say-so!" Nathan had always been tough on Isabella, mostly because having Isabella around was a constant reminder that he was kind of a live-in son-in-law and his kids had to take their mom's last name. Big-time embarrassment for a guy who made it big.<br /> <br /> "And Isabella, cool it, will ya? Zachary messed up, and we'll make him say sorry. This marriage thing wasn't just your call, it's our families' deal. Don't go and have a meltdown. I got your back," Terence tried to smooth things over.<br /> <br /> Then he whirled around and snapped at Zachary, "Zachary! Drop that girl already!"<br /> <br /> Zachary looked like he didn't know what hit him.<br /> <br /> Scarlett, all tears and drama, shoved Zachary away. "Go after Isabella, Zachary. My bad, it's all on me. I'm no match for Isabella. I'm sorry, Isabella. Forgive me, okay? Don't go."<br /> <br /> Zachary just stood there, silent as a ghost.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, hold it! Are you deaf?" Nathan was beside himself with rage. He thought, 'She's always done what I said, like a perfect little robot. Why's she ignoring orders today?'<br /> <br /> Isabella stopped cold, her hands balled into fists so tight they hurt. She spun around to face Nathan.<br /> <br /> Now Nathan got real. "Come on, it's nothing. Why you making a big deal? Zachary and his folks are cool now. What more do you need? Who else would deal with your drama? You gotta see where your bread's buttered!"<br /> <br /> Isabella just felt this chill and said real slow, "He deserves better than me. I'll find someone else, no biggie."<br /> <br /> Nathan lost it, "Who else would even look at you?"<br /> <br /> But Isabella, she didn't even flinch. Shoulders back, head high, she walked right out the door.<br /> <br /> The crowd was eating up the drama like it was prime-time TV.<br /> <br /> Zachary and Isabella's engagement was like the hot gossip among the rich folks. Their families were tight, and with Isabella and Zachary set to tie the knot, the business was booming.<br /> <br /> The engagement party was just for show. They were heading for the altar anyway. But then, the plot thickened like in a soap opera.<br /> <br /> Zachary did Isabella dirty with her own bestie. Feeling burned, Isabella put them on blast right there in front of everyone.<br /> <br /> Instead of feeling sorry for her, people were ragging on Isabella. She was pretty shaken up when she realized that nobody seemed to care about her side of the story. But could she really get mad when her own dad dissed her too?<br /> <br /> Isabella stepped down from the stage and nearly took a spill in her killer heels. Just in time, one guy reached out and saved her from a faceplant.<br /> <br /> "Thanks," Isabella mumbled, looking down.<br /> <br /> A chill voice came from up top, "Watch your step."<br /> <br /> Isabella regained her balance, raised her head, and met a pair of deep, calm eyes. She was momentarily stunned, charmed by the handsome face before her. This guy was something elseโstrong brows, dark blue eyes, the works. He was all smiles and chill vibes.<br /> <br /> She took a breath and laid it all out there, completely honest. "Hi! Are you single?"<br /> <br /> He was stunned but nodded.<br /> <br /> Ignoring the crowd's shocked gasps, Isabella was like, "I'm Isabella Sorenson, 22, still in college at University of Moulmore. I have 40% shares in Sorenson Multimedia and will inherit all the inheritance left by my granddad and mom when I turn 25. But for now, I'm penniless. I need to marry someone. You in?"<br /> <br /> Isabella locked eyes with the guy. She was ticked off for sure, but she didn't give a flip. Her life's been no cakewalk. She fell hard for Zachary, and he didn't even say 'my bad' for stabbing her in the back.<br /> <br /> Her mom's parting advice to Isabella was to play it cool, to roll with the punches. For years, she put up with the drama and what'd she get? Zilch, just a slap in the face and zero backup.<br /> <br /> Isabella thought, 'I'd rather throw the baby out with the bathwater at this point. They're all drooling over my wealth and gearing up to rip me off, right? Fine! I'll marry someone random and not give them a dime!'<br /> <br /> Then, like clockwork, someone in the peanut gallery was like, "Holy cow! Did Isabella just lose it? What's she yapping about now? Poor Zachary."<br /> <br /> "Totally shameless! Just grabs a guy and pops the question? And after Zachary's folks bent over backwards to get her to forgive him!" added another voice.<br /> <br /> Chapter 3 It Is Him<br /> Isabella stood next to the stage, and everybody caught every word she said. Nathan, Terence, and the crowd beelined to her.<br /> <br /> "Isabella Sorenson! Have you flipped your lid?" Nathan's face was all red.<br /> <br /> "No kidding! What's that even mean?" Winona added, looking all shook up.<br /> <br /> "Are you crazy? You're practically giving away your assets by doing this!" Lorelai was devastated.<br /> <br /> Isabella completely ignored the people behind her and focused on the man before her. "Sir, do you hear me? Marry me, and you will have a fortune in three years. It's a bargain."<br /> <br /> The man's clear gaze met hers, and he chuckled. "You know, guys usually do the proposing." His voice was low and sexy.<br /> <br /> Isabella was speechless, the crowd zipped it for a hot second, then split their sides laughing. They figured he ditched her.<br /> <br /> Nathan almost couldn't resist the urge to storm forward and kick Isabella. "Isabella! Get back here right now!"<br /> <br /> The man's low voice sounded right after Nathan finished his sentence. "I'll marry you."<br /> <br /> Complete silence ensued.<br /> <br /> "My name is Clayton Murray. I'm 28 years old and single. I work at Rayson International. Ms. Isabella Sorenson, will you marry me?" Clayton fixed his gaze upon Isabella.<br /> <br /> Tears fell from Isabella's big eyes. "Thank you! Yes, I will!"<br /> <br /> Inside, she's throwing high fives to luck. Finally, she could breathe. Didn't matter who he was as long as she was pulling herself out of the quicksand.<br /> <br /> And just like that, the crowd went wild.<br /> <br /> "Say what? That's Clayton Murray from Rayson International?" someone gasped.<br /> <br /> "Whoa, the legendary second son of the Murray family?" someone else hollered.<br /> <br /> "No way! I heard Clayton doesn't mix with ladies. Could this be a fake?" somebody wondered.<br /> <br /> "Bummer. Mr. Murray's like a ghostโnever seen in public or snapping selfies. How can we even know if it's really him?" another person pitched in.<br /> <br /> "He looks legit. I mean, who would have the guts to fake being Mr. Murray? Plus, dude's got charmโI hear the real Clayton's a looker," came a comment from the crowd.<br /> <br /> Isabella dried her eyes and spun around to face the stage crowd. "Just to be clearโZachary and I are done. We're out of each other's lives. Next up, I'm marryingโ"<br /> <br /> She had to check with Clayton because she blanked on his name.<br /> <br /> "Clayton." He gave her a small grin.<br /> <br /> "Yeah, Clayton!" Isabella said, staring them down without a wince.<br /> <br /> Nathan boomed, "Hold up; you're the Clayton Murray?"<br /> <br /> Clayton just gave a cool nod. "That's me."<br /> <br /> Terence's expression darkened. He glared at Zachary and Scarlett, thinking, 'It's all this little punk's fault!'<br /> <br /> Megan and Yvonne were stunned. 'How's he so drop-dead gorgeous?' they wondered incredulously.<br /> <br /> Clayton swept his glance across the stage. "You all must be Isabella's family. Sorry for taking the liberty to announce our marriage in this way today. I'll pay you a visit someday."<br /> <br /> After saying that, he turned around and linked arms with Isabella, his tone gentle as he spoke to her. "Let's go. What's going on here is none of our business."<br /> <br /> "Mr. Murray, don't be fooled by Isabella! Over the years, she has been a nuisance, trying all means to curry favor with Zach just to get married to him. A woman even Zach has abandoned doesn't deserve you!" Megan shouted eagerly. ''I won't let Isabella have such an excellent man all to herself! I'm better than her. Mr. Murray should marry me. Isabella is nothing compared to me!' she thought.<br /> <br /> "Yes, Mr. Murray. Please wait! Isabella hasn't gotten my dad's permission." Yvonne's soft voice was filled with anxiety. She wasn't as foolish and reckless as Megan, but she, too, wanted Clayton to herself. 'Everyone will think Clayton and Isabella are engaged if they leave like this. I won't allow this! Such an outstanding man should be mine,' she mused.<br /> <br /> "Dad, say something! How can you let Isabella leave like this? Mr. Winslow hasn't agreed to cancel the engagement yet!" Yvonne urged.<br /> <br /> Nathan met his beloved daughter's gaze and cleared his throat. "Isabella! Come back!"<br /> <br /> Terence and Lorelai exchanged glances before the latter shouted, "Isabella, stop messing around. Come back and let's talk things out."<br /> <br /> Isabella tightened her fists, and Clayton patted her on the arm as reassurance.<br /> <br /> He stopped, turned around, and glanced at the people on the stage. "Thank you, Mr. Zachary Winslow, for falling in love with someone else and giving Isabella to me."<br /> <br /> Everyone, including Isabella, looked at Clayton in surprise.<br /> <br /> Gazing at Clayton's side profile, Isabella thought, 'I'm so lucky today. This random man that I chose supports me without hesitation.'<br /> <br /> Clayton then looked at Nathan. "Mr. Ingram, do you have a problem with your daughter marrying me?"<br /> <br /> His voice was gentle and calm, but his domineering aura made Nathan flinch.<br /> <br /> "Zachary, my stomach hurts." An anguished voice rang out at that moment. Scarlett, grabbing Zachary, held her stomach and bent over in pain.<br /> <br /> "Scarlett, what's wrong?" The anxiety and concern in Zachary's voice were obvious.<br /> <br /> Isabella's gaze dimmed, and her heart ached when she saw how much Zachary cared for Scarlett. Lorelai and Terence looked at Scarlett furiously.<br /> <br /> Scarlett admitted timidly, "I-I have been pregnant for two months."<br /> <br /> "What? A-Are you pregnant with Zachary's child?" Lorelai was in shock.<br /> <br /> Scarlett nodded in pain. "Zachary, my stomach hurts."<br /> <br /> Zachary panicked and said, "T-Then, what should we do?" He didn't expect Scarlett to be pregnant. He looked at Isabella below the stage and averted his gaze upon noticing her tear-filled eyes.<br /> <br /> Chapter 4 Conspiracy<br /> "What are you still standing around for? Quick, get her to the hospital. The child's safety comes first," Lorelai said urgently, placing her future grandchild's well-being above all else.<br /> <br /> Clayton covered his mouth and stifled a chuckle. "Even in this situation, you still want your daughter to marry into a family like this, Mr. Ingram? What exactly do you hope to gain from the Winslow family?"<br /> <br /> His words caused a visible shift in everyone's expression.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Nathan's expression was grim.<br /> <br /> Marrying Isabella to Zachary was a strategic move for both families. However, if Clayton was willing to wed Isabella, he would become Nathan's son-in-law, with Rayson International as Nathan's backing.<br /> <br /> The value of one hundred Avid Ventures Real Estate paled in comparison to Rayson International. In the face of years of friendship and mutual benefits, Nathan was torn between loyalty and opportunity. He was a businessman, and he knew what he wanted.<br /> <br /> Clayton saw the calculative glint in Nathan's eyes, turned to Isabella, and softly inquired, "Shall we go?"<br /> <br /> Isabella tore her eyes away from Zachary and Scarlett, nodding gently.<br /> <br /> She visited the graves of her granddad and mother, George and Irina Sorenson, tenderly wiping their photos clean with a tissue.<br /> <br /> "I'm sorry, Granddad, Mom. Zachary and I are no longer together. Our marriage won't be happening," she murmured.<br /> <br /> Caressing Irina's photo on the tombstone, she couldn't control her tears. "I've tried to heed your advice, Mom, enduring everything. But now, I'm at my wit's end. I'm only 22 years old, still too young to take over the company with my current ability," she confessed.<br /> <br /> "I thought things would be fine once I got married, but now..." Isabella muffled her sobs with her hand, her body trembling as she knelt before the tombstone, curled into a small ball of grief.<br /> <br /> Since Irina's passing, Isabella had learned to endure silently through countless trials, enduring disdain from Nathan, Winona, and Yvonne. Growing up in a home that no longer felt like hers was a constant struggle, yet she clung to the hope that marrying Zachary would bring her freedom. She believed that everything would soon be fine.<br /> <br /> When Nathan told her about the engagement party that was about to be held, Isabella was overjoyed. They had planned to get married after her university graduation the following year, and once that happened, she'd finally be free.<br /> <br /> Zachary was the man she loved dearly, and she believed the union arranged by George and Irina must be the best course. After all, Zachary was the guardian angel George and Irina had chosen for her.<br /> <br /> Throughout her childhood, Zachary had been her constant companion, treating her with great care.<br /> <br /> George passed away when Isabella was just eight years old, followed by Irina when Isabella turned ten, enveloping her world in hues of gray.<br /> <br /> When Isabella turned twelve, Zachary left for his studies abroad.<br /> <br /> Tearfully, Isabella clung to his hand, reluctant to let him go, fearful of losing the sole connection she had left to George and Irina.<br /> <br /> She vividly recalled Zachary's promise as he held her hand and said, "Isabella, wait for me. I will come back and marry you when I'm grown up." Those words echoed constantly in her mind.<br /> <br /> Throughout the years, Isabella dedicated herself entirely to Zachary. She nurtured their relationship meticulously, treasuring their brief annual reunions, and worked tirelessly to mold herself into the person he admired, adapting to his preferences.<br /> <br /> Despite enduring ridicule, sarcasm, and insults from Megan and Yvonne, she clung to the belief that everything would be fine after she married Zachary.<br /> <br /> Marrying Zachary had been Isabella's primary motivation and ultimate goal throughout those years. Every future scenario she envisioned concluded with her union with Zachary.<br /> <br /> She firmly believed that marrying him would breathe new life into her existence, heralding a fresh chapter and a brighter future.<br /> <br /> Whenever she faced punishment and was locked in a dark room, whenever she suffered from hunger, whenever she faced difficulties, the mere thought of that envisioned future fueled her with boundless courage.<br /> <br /> Alas, that hope was shattered. The day she had dreamed of would never materialize. The envisioned future dissolved, leaving behind a shattered world. Isabella felt as though her heart had been torn from her chest, leaving behind an agonizing void.<br /> <br /> After a long while of weeping silently, Isabella raised her head, wiping away tears with trembling hands, and pledged, "Granddad, Mom, from now on, I'll live for myself. I'll do my best to not let you down." Despite the pain, she knew that life must persist, regardless of the circumstances.<br /> <br /> As Isabella left the cemetery, the sun had already descended below the horizon.<br /> <br /> Clayton's car waited silently by the gate, catching Isabella off guard. Stepping out of the vehicle, Clayton opened the passenger seat door for her. She said in a low voice as she settled into the seat, "Thank you."<br /> <br /> Clayton got back in the car and glanced at Isabella. Her eyes and nose were red, and she looked exhausted. "Let's find a place for you to rest," Clayton suggested.<br /> <br /> Isabella shook her head, recognizing the inevitability of confronting what lay ahead. "Mr. Murray, thanks for your help today," she croaked, her voice strained from emotion.<br /> <br /> Clayton started the car and asked, "Where do you want to go?"<br /> <br /> "Could you please drive me home?" Isabella requested softly.<br /> <br /> After confirming the address, Clayton fell into silence as Isabella leaned against the window, closing her eyes for the journey home.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, at the Ingram residence, Nathan, Winona, and Yvonne sat facing each other on the couch in solemn silence.<br /> <br /> Breaking the silence, Yvonne implored, "Dad, you can't allow Isabella to marry Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> Nathan, having deliberated the matter during his return journey, felt a disquieting unease despite acknowledging the potential benefits of Isabella's union with Clayton. When pressed by Yvonne, he couldn't help but raise his gaze to meet hers, questioning, "Why?"<br /> <br /> Yvonne hesitated, not knowing what to say, thinking, 'I can't say I should be the one to marry Mr. Murray, right?' She glanced at Winona.<br /> <br /> Winona, pouring a cup of coffee for Nathan, said with composure, "Nate, it's widely known that Isabella and Zachary have been engaged to each other since childhood. Considering her background, it's not suitable for her to wed into the Murray family. Won't they look down on her?"<br /> <br /> Chapter 5 Stirring Up Trouble<br /> Nathan furrowed his brow in response, stating, "That's her decision to make. If she chooses to marry Mr. Murray, and if the Murrays look down on her, she only has herself to blame."<br /> <br /> Winona exchanged a meaningful glance with Yvonne before continuing, "While that may be true, she's still your daughter. If there's talk about her outside, it inevitably reflects on us as well. That's not good."<br /> <br /> Winona looked up at Nathan, who listened intently. "I'm not her biological mother, so I have no authority to discipline her," she began. "As you can see, she rarely communicates with us these years and has her own ideas. What happened today was saddening. She humiliated you in front of everyone. It's one thing for her to disrespect me over the years, but the way she treated you today was unacceptable. Despite my efforts, she only acknowledges Irina as her mother, thinking that we owe her."<br /> <br /> Tears welled up in Winona's eyes as she sniffled. "I know what you're thinking. A marriage of convenience with the Murray family will benefit the company greatly. However, if Isabella doesn't stand by you, then..."<br /> <br /> Her words trailed off, but her meaning was clear.<br /> <br /> Yvonne's gaze flickered as she inwardly praised her mother's wisdom. "Exactly, Dad. We can't squander resources. Even if Isabella married into the Winslow family, there's no guaranteeing she'll put in a good word for you. Your partnership with Mr. Winslow has been smooth-sailing, and that's based on your friendship with him, not Isabella's involvement," Yvonne chimed in.<br /> <br /> Nathan suddenly realized what had been bothering him. Isabella's defiance had caught him off guard. He desired a compliant daughter, not one with her own convictions. He glanced at them, took a sip of coffee, and asked in a deep voice, "So, what do you guys suggest?"<br /> <br /> Winona and Yvonne exchanged a glance. Winona gently proposed, "Nate, we can't trust Isabella, but we can rely on Yvonne. She's our biological daughter."<br /> <br /> Nathan's focus shifted to Yvonne, who appeared bashful. "Mom, we're talking about Isabella. Why bring me up?"<br /> <br /> Winona's expression grew stern. "Yvonne, I'm serious. You're our daughter. You can't just enjoy the privileges your father provides. You must share his burden, understand?" she chided.<br /> <br /> Yvonne straightened up, raising her hand in a playful gesture. "Yes, Mom, I understand. I'll be there for Dad whenever he needs me," she vowed with a smile.<br /> <br /> Nathan was reassured by her promise. Nodding, he remarked, "Winona, you've raised her well. Isabella, on the other hand, is truly disappointing."<br /> <br /> Winona smiled faintly, "My hands are tied. Anything I say as her stepmother could easily be misinterpreted as having ulterior motives."<br /> <br /> "Hmph! It's because she doesn't know what's best for her," Nathan snorted. Then, he frowned. "Are you suggesting that Yvonne should marry into the Murray family?"<br /> <br /> Winona nodded, affirming, "We can trust Yvonne. She's our sweetheart."<br /> <br /> "But Yvonne is only twenty," Nathan voiced his concern. He had always cherished Yvonne and had never contemplated marrying her off at such a young age.<br /> <br /> Knowing that he was wavering, Winona smiled reassuringly, "So what if she's twenty? We can arrange for the marriage now and wait for Yvonne to graduate from university before holding the wedding. That doesn't make much difference."<br /> <br /> Nathan cradled his forehead, contemplating her proposal.<br /> <br /> "Dad, if it benefits our family, I'm in. Trust me; I'll try my best to ensure our family's prosperity," Yvonne declared resolutely, biting her lip as if determined to sacrifice herself for the family.<br /> <br /> Nathan eventually nodded in agreement, which put a smile on Yvonne's face.<br /> <br /> However, Winona intervened softly, "But, Nate, we're not acquainted with Mr. Murray. Perhaps we'll need Isabella to introduce us?"<br /> <br /> Yvonne was taken aback, immediately objecting, "Why should she introduce us? As we saw today, she asked Mr. Murray to marry her on the spur of the moment. Mr. Murray agreed as soon as she mentioned it. So, why can't we approach him directly?"<br /> <br /> Yvonne considered herself superior to Isabella. She mused inwardly, 'In terms of appearance and figure, I'm much better than that country bumpkin. Why should Isabella, who's inferior to me, get to marry such a perfect man? Since Mr. Murray agreed to Isabella's proposal, he'd agree to mine too.'<br /> <br /> Nathan thought her words made sense and pondered for a moment. "Well, how about we pay a visit to Rayson International tomorrow?"<br /> <br /> Outside the Ingram residence, Clayton parked the car and glanced at Isabella who was already asleep in the passenger seat.<br /> <br /> It should've been her engagement party that day. She wore a white knee-length dress, her pinned-up hair already disheveled, with several strands hanging down. Her delicate face appeared particularly pale. She didn't change much since childhood. As she jumped down from the stage, Clayton was struck by the pain and resolution reflected in her eyes.<br /> <br /> 'It seems like she's been struggling all these years,' Clayton thought, tenderly tucking her hair behind her ear.<br /> <br /> Isabella's long lashes quivered slightly as she stirred awake at his touch, momentarily confused upon seeing Clayton.<br /> <br /> "Are you awake?" Clayton asked gently.<br /> <br /> Isabella blinked, and the memories of what happened flooded back. She took a deep breath, attempting to quell the overwhelming pain pulsating through her veins.<br /> <br /> Gazing toward the Ingram residence, she was enveloped by a chilling coldness. This place had been her home, yet since the age of ten, she felt like a superfluous presence there.<br /> <br /> Previously, Zachary's presence had somewhat eased the void left by George and Irina. However, at present, she was all alone.<br /> <br /> The gate of the residence was like a gaping maw, ready to devour her and the legacy of George and Irina at any moment.<br /> <br /> "Do you need me to go in there with you?" Clayton asked softly, observing Isabella, who was staring into space.<br /> <br /> Isabella slowly shook her head. Staring directly ahead, she spoke to Clayton in a composed but distant manner. "Mr. Murray, can we make a deal? I need to leave this place now, but they won't allow me to rent a house independently. Our school's in the middle of renovations, and once the new semester kicks off, students like us who are in the senior year will have to find internship positions on our own, and we can no longer live in dorms. The only option left for me is to get married. Once I get married, I can leave for good."<br /> <br /> Clayton tightened his grip on the steering wheel.<br /> <br /> "I propose we marry, and I'll move into your residence. I'll reside there and pay you rent. If I face financial constraints, I'll provide you with a promissory note. I've mentioned that I'll inherit some assets after turning twenty-five. At that point, I'll settle all my debts to you. Then, we'll proceed with divorce proceedings, and I'll allocate half of the inheritance I receive to you as compensation for marrying me now," Isabella explained.<br /> <br /> Chapter 6 Realization<br /> Isabella declared resolutely, "I will draft a formal agreement stating our rights and responsibilities. Our union will only be a sham marriage. Should you happen to develop feelings for someone else during this time, I ask that you wait until we've been married for at least a year before seeking a divorce. I assure you, my commitment to our arrangement stands firm, and you will receive every cent of your compensation as promised. With this agreement in place, we can ensure fairness for both parties."<br /> <br /> Noticing a pen and paper tucked under the armrest, Isabella grabbed them, jotting down her phone number before passing it to Clayton. "Here is my contact information. Take your time to ponder my proposal; however, I expect your response within three days. Do not delay." With that, Isabella exited the car and left, leaving Clayton staring at the note in his hand blankly.<br /> <br /> Her decisiveness left Clayton momentarily stunned.<br /> <br /> He couldn't help chuckling as he watched Isabella walk away in determined strides. "Isabella, I'm back. I'll stand by your side no matter what you do," Clayton murmured, thinking, 'I'll let her do whatever she wants. Whatever happens, I'll clean up after her.' Even if she didn't know who he was, Nathan did. Nathan'd never dare to lay a hand on her.<br /> <br /> *****<br /> <br /> Dinner was served in a peaceful ambiance.<br /> <br /> "Ms. Sorenson, you've returned." One of the maids, Elsie Anderson, was surprised to see Isabella.<br /> <br /> Isabella paid no heed to the mix of surprise and disdain the other three were displaying. "Dad, Winona." Dipping her head, she greeted them before settling at the table, accepting the soup bowl offered by Elsie.<br /> <br /> She hadn't eaten anything since morning and was starving. Clayton had suggested taking her to dinner earlier, but she had declined. She would have to face this sooner or later, so why delay it?<br /> <br /> "Isabella, why are you only back now? Mom and Dad were too worried to eat," Yvonne said, sharing a meaningful glance with Winona.<br /> <br /> Nathan's expression darkened.<br /> <br /> Isabella finished her soup and put down the spoon. Disregarding the cold leftovers on the table, she explained, "I went to visit Grandpa and Mom. I needed to inform them that Zachary and I have called off our engagement."<br /> <br /> Nathan sneered, "And they didn't reprimand you?"<br /> <br /> Isabella lowered her head in silence.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, you've pissed your dad off today. How could you embarrass him in front of everyone?" Winona said softly.<br /> <br /> "Mom, don't blame Isabella. Remember, she's the eldest daughter of the Sorenson family and the designated heiress of Sorenson Multimedia. Dad wouldn't hold it against her. Who knows what those shareholders might say if he did?" Yvonne interjected, stealing glances at Nathan.<br /> <br /> Nathan's expression darkened further as his gaze bore into Isabella.<br /> <br /> Isabella quietly ate the food Elsie gave her. She had gotten used to such drama. Winona and Yvonne always sowed discord between her and Nathan. Then, endless insults would ensue that would sometimes escalate into physical abuse.<br /> <br /> She was a Sorenson, and her father was an Ingram. That was one of her sins.<br /> <br /> Nathan didn't lose his temper. Instead, he snorted derisively before leaving the dining room.<br /> <br /> Winona shot a glance and Yvonne and Isabella before following Nathan out.<br /> <br /> As soon as her parents left, Yvonne abandoned her facade of dignity. Casting a scornful glance at Isabella, who remained meek and reserved as always, she said sarcastically, "I'm amazed you still have the nerve to stay alive. If I were in your shoes, I'd have put an end to it all by now. Maybe flung myself into a river or hung myself. Anything's better than living like this. Your fiancรฉ despises you and cheats on you with your closest friend. Aren't you devastated? How do you even have an appetite?"<br /> <br /> After taking the final bite, Isabella met Yvonne's gaze with indifference. "I've found someone willing to wed me."<br /> <br /> Yvonne scoffed, "Wake up, will you? Do you honestly believe you're the eldest daughter of the Sorenson family?"<br /> <br /> Isabella merely looked at her coldly. Yvonne often carried herself with elegance and composure in public. Isabella was perhaps the only person who had seen her true colors.<br /> <br /> She thought, 'Does Yvonne ever get tired of pretending? I pretend to be indifferent and weak because Winona and Yvonne forced me to, but no one's forcing Yvonne. So why is she pretending?'<br /> <br /> "What're you looking at?" Yvonne bellowed at Isabella. Isabella's charming face never failed to anger her. 'Why does she get all the luck? A wealthy grandfather and mother, and even that envy-inducing face!' she seethed inwardly.<br /> <br /> Yvonne sent her plate hurtling toward Isabella.<br /> <br /> Isabella rose from her seat, narrowly dodging the plate as it crashed to the ground.<br /> <br /> "What's wrong?" Winona asked loudly.<br /> <br /> Yvonne glared at Isabella.<br /> <br /> Normally, Isabella would've quickly apologized to Winona, saying she had accidentally broken the plate. Yet, today, Isabella simply turned to face the incensed Yvonne in silence.<br /> <br /> Elsie interjected fearfully, "Mrs. Ingram, I'm sorry; I accidentally dropped a plate."<br /> <br /> Both Isabella and Yvonne looked at Elsie at the same time.<br /> <br /> Yvonne shot daggers at Elsie before exiting the dining room.<br /> <br /> Elsie tugged at Isabella's arm, whispering, "Ms. Sorenson, just endure it. This too shall pass."<br /> <br /> Endure. It was a mantra instilled in Isabella since childhood by Elsie and also what her late mother said to her. Today, however, she realized that enduring only made things worse.<br /> <br /> Isabella hurried to the bathroom, changing out of the dress and cleansing herself of the shame it carried. She then returned to her room on the second floor, a windowless storeroom bereft of sunlight year-round. She even had to use the maid's bathroom. Besides Elsie, no one would regard her as the family's eldest daughter.<br /> <br /> The luxurious room that her grandfather and mother decorated was handed over to Yvonne just a month after Winona and Yvonne's arrival. Isabella's living quarters changed each time she made a "mistake" until she found herself relegated to the storeroom, a decision that satisfied Winona and Yvonne at last.<br /> <br /> This was the consequence of endurance.<br /> <br /> Isabella curled up on the cramped bed, the air stifling and hot. The wind could only filter in when the door was opened. Yet, she didn't want to move, let alone open the door.<br /> <br /> Isabella closed her eyes, the events of the day replaying in her mind. She watched them unfold once more like a distant observer.<br /> <br /> The moment Zachary started dating Scarlett remained a mystery to her.<br /> <br /> Since Zachary's return from abroad, he started work in his family's company, leaving little opportunity for him and Isabella to spend time together. Isabella was never one to inconvenience others, so she never interrupted Zachary's work. Understanding his desire for a compliant girlfriend, she made every effort to fit that mold.<br /> <br /> Ever since Zachary returned, the two families celebrated festivals together, which Isabella enjoyed.<br /> <br /> Zachary didn't treat her poorly or particularly well, but he and Yvonne were tight. They got along well, even though Zachary used to dislike Yvonne as a kid.<br /> <br /> Chapter 7 Truth<br /> Today, Scarlett claimed Isabella had forgiven them, which was nonsense. Isabella didn't know anything about their affair.<br /> <br /> Isabella wondered, 'Why would she say that? Was it to make Zachary turn against me? If that's the case, it's obvious who played the video. However, Scarlett isn't stupid. There are so many ways to let me know, so why did she choose this one? Doing so will only cause her more harm than good. Oh, right, because doing so makes it seem like my handiwork. No one will suspect Scarlett of selling herself out. As for Zachary, he is always on Scarlett's side. He never admitted his mistake or apologized. He kept emphasizing that Scarlett is my good friend and that I should be nice to her. Zachary, am I being nice to her by letting you go? Why do you take everything I do for granted?'<br /> <br /> Isabella's heart ached as she recalled the tender look Zachary reserved for Scarlett.<br /> <br /> Zachary had never looked at her like that before. 'I'm just not worth his affection, huh?' she pondered.<br /> <br /> Lorelai's words hit Isabella like a sudden storm. Throughout the years, Lorelai treated Isabella well. Isabella once believed she was sincere and even vowed to take good care of Lorelai after the marriage.<br /> <br /> However, it turned out that Lorelai valued her social status and assets. That was probably her second original sin.<br /> <br /> Isabella held a significant 40% stake in Sorenson Multimedia, making her the company's largest shareholder. However, because of her youth, all the dividends from this ownership were directed into a trust established by her grandfather, which remained inaccessible until she reached the age of 25. She wouldn't receive her inheritance from her grandfather and mother until that time.<br /> <br /> Today, she finally realized that the Winslow family's acceptance of her wasn't based on genuine affection or sympathy for her loss of her mother. It also wasn't due to their acquaintance with her late mother and grandfather either. Instead, it was because of the assets she would eventually possess.<br /> <br /> They were kind to her because of her assets, and cruel to her for the same reason.<br /> <br /> Nathan had always been eyeing the property Isabella could inherit, especially because Yvonne didn't have any. When Isabella turned 18, Nathan deemed her old enough to handle her inheritance. He once pressured her to draft a document pledging half of the property to Yvonne. However, his plan was thwarted when the lawyer and four key company shareholders intervened.<br /> <br /> George and Irina foresaw the possibility of someone coveting the assets and therefore imposed an age restriction of 25. At 18, Isabella didn't have the authority to transfer her future assets.<br /> <br /> Nathan had married into the Sorenson family, so any child he had with Irina must carry the Sorenson name, while offspring from other relationships would not inherit this family name.<br /> <br /> Thus, Isabella was the only heiress of the Sorenson family.<br /> <br /> Furthermore, if Nathan decided to transfer his shares to Yvonne rather than Isabella, the four main investors would pull out their money from Sorenson Multimedia. The company had always been in the hands of the Sorenson family, and it would stay that way.<br /> <br /> If the major investors withdrew their support, the company would collapse, as Nathan's 30% stake alone wouldn't be enough to sustain it. Nathan's family eventually gave up on their plan.<br /> <br /> Instead of trying to butter Isabella up to get their way, they chose to resent her even more. Isabella couldn't help but admire them for that, for they didn't yield in the face of greed.<br /> <br /> Another way to access her wealth was by letting her marry Zachary.<br /> <br /> In this scenario, her property would serve as her dowry, to be shared with the Winslow family upon marriage. Given Isabella's infatuation with Zachary, she would likely agree to this arrangement. Consequently, Nathan collaborated with the Winslow family on various investment and development endeavors in recent years, aiming to reap the maximum benefits in due time.<br /> <br /> "Grandpa, Mom, 25 isn't a safe age either. If I were an idiot, I'd still be an idiot at 25 years old," Isabella murmured.<br /> <br /> Luckily, misfortune wasn't the only thing the heavens bestowed upon her. At least Zachary found his true love. She wondered if that had anything to do with divine intervention.<br /> <br /> Getting out of bed, she used a nearby book to fan herself.<br /> <br /> 'Time to draw up a contract for Clayton. If he's sensible, he'll agree to my terms,' she thought. Isabella needed to move out as soon as possible. She had neither the energy nor the mood to deal with Yvonne and Winona's tricks anymore.<br /> <br /> They wouldn't let her rent a place outside, because that would make it hard for them to control her. Also, that would bring disgrace upon the Sorenson family. The only escape route left was to get married.<br /> <br /> The identity of her partner hardly mattered, as long as he was a true gentleman. She would draft a pact, ensuring her safety and rights were protected. And in return, she would offer him the benefits he rightly deserved, for he would be her savior.<br /> <br /> She needed to find a place to settle down and focus on earning money, aiming to gather 300 thousand dollars within a year to finance her studies in Upria for the next five years. It wasn't much, but she could continue earning while studying.<br /> <br /> Her future needed replanning. This time, she was on her own, and she vowed to protect herself from harm.<br /> <br /> The next morning, Nathan took Yvonne to Rayson International. As they stood outside the towering structure, Yvonne was exhilarated.<br /> <br /> Amidst the bustling heart of the city, the building stood tall and majestic. The employees were in a hurry, but their demeanor radiated confidence and pride unmatched by those of other companies.<br /> <br /> A smile crept onto Yvonne's face as she envisioned herself as the owner of this impressive building and the wife of its esteemed boss, overseeing these elite professionals in the future.<br /> <br /> Clayton accepted the document from his assistant, Johnny Lawton, signing it before instructing, "Get in touch with Kayson and have him find a place for me near University of Moulmore. Something around 1,000 square feet, suitable for two people, and fully equipped with all the essentials."<br /> <br /> Johnny answered, "Okay."<br /> <br /> Seeing that Clayton was reading a contract, Johnny called Kayson.<br /> <br /> After a while, Kayson entered. "Boss, what do you think about Moonlight Apartment near University of Moulmore? It's just a ten-minute stroll from the campus, and boasts a thriving community with all the amenities you could need."<br /> <br /> Clayton thought for a moment, but the name didn't ring a bell. "Okay. Go ahead and purchase a unit."<br /> <br /> Kayson laughed, "Boss, that's our property. You reserved a suite for yourself on the 28th floor. I was wondering why you never brought it up again. Turns out you forgot."<br /> <br /> Johnny glared at him. "Cut the crap and get it sorted already."<br /> <br /> Clayton glanced at Kayson but remained silent. Kayson stuck out his tongue playfully, heading toward the door. "Boss, will you be living alone or will Mr. Maguire be joining you?"<br /> <br /> Without looking up, Clayton responded, "It'll be me and my wife."<br /> <br /> Chapter 8 Will You Marry Me Instead?<br /> Clayton continued working on the document while Johnny and Kayson stiffened. Johnny, usually collected, also stared at Clayton in disbelief.<br /> <br /> Kayson's mouth hung open. "Y-You and who, Boss?"<br /> <br /> Clayton glanced up at them, answering flatly, "My wife. Do you have a hearing problem?"<br /> <br /> Kayson gaped in shock at Clayton, who kept working, then turned to the equally dumbfounded Johnny.<br /> <br /> Another assistant, Weston Quinn, entered the office. "Mr. Murray, Mr. Nathan Ingram and his daughter are here to see you."<br /> <br /> Clayton didn't look up. "Did they make an appointment?"<br /> <br /> Weston shook his head. "No, but he mentioned Isabella Sorenson. Said you'd know right away."<br /> <br /> Clayton's head snapped up at once. "All right, bring them up."<br /> <br /> Weston was stunned, for he seemed to have caught a glimpse of a smile on Clayton's face.<br /> <br /> However, he blinked and thought his eyes must've been playing tricks. Noticing how Kayson was rooted in his spot, Weston presumed Kayson had been lectured again and hurriedly turned to leave.<br /> <br /> Clayton glimpsed at Kayson. "Why are you still here?"<br /> <br /> Kayson jolted out of his daze, murmuring, "T-This feels too surreal..."<br /> <br /> Clayton glanced at Johnny, who quickly composed himself, clenched his fists, and cleared his throat before saying, "This information is somewhat... unexpected. It's only normal that Kay needs a moment to process it, Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> Johnny then glared at Kayson. "What are you still waiting for? Go get it done."<br /> <br /> Promptly, Kayson exited the room, still looking thunderstruck.<br /> <br /> He had just shut the door when he saw Hendrix Henderson working in the personal assistants' office. "Hens, let me pinch you and see if it hurts!" Kayson reached for Hendrix's handsome face, but Hendrix swatted Kayson's hand away with a folder.<br /> <br /> "Oh, get lost. Pinch yourself." Hendrix scowled. "What's the matter with you this early in the morning? You got scolded again? You were in there for so long."<br /> <br /> Kayson retracted his throbbing hand in a heartbeat. "Ouch, that hurts! So this isn't a dream!"<br /> <br /> Hendrix rolled his eyes, used to how Kayson would act up at least a few times a day.<br /> <br /> All four of Clayton's personal assistants were men. Johnny had been with Clayton the longest and resembled Clayton most, as cold and aloof. Weston and Hendrix, while mostly reserved, still wore their emotions on their faces from time to time. As for Kayson, he was the lone constant jokester of the group.<br /> <br /> Kayson looked at Hendrix intently. "Do you have any idea what I was tasked with?"<br /> <br /> Hendrix couldn't be bothered to answer, knowing Kayson would continue talking regardless of whether there was any response.<br /> <br /> Kayson's Adam's apple bobbed. "Boss told me to buy him an apartment. He said it's for him and his wife."<br /> <br /> Hendrix's fingers that were flying over the keyboard froze. "Are you still half-asleep? You must've heard wrong, and so absurd at that. Watch yourself, or Johnny will come give you an earful!"<br /> <br /> Kayson snatched the folder from Hendrix and insisted, "It's true! Johnny is in there. He heard it too. Ask him if you don't believe me."<br /> <br /> Before Hendrix could reply, they spotted Weston leading Nathan and Yvonne over. Kayson's eyes widened at the sight of Yvonne while he nudged Hendrix.<br /> <br /> Hendrix looked over, thinking, 'My, isn't she a beauty? What's going on here? Could she be the "wife" that Boss was referring to?'<br /> <br /> Weston was perplexed when he caught sight of the duo's transfixed gazes. 'What's up with those two? Why do they look so stunned?' he wondered.<br /> <br /> Yvonne had been pumped up the moment she stepped into the lobby. The low-key yet lavish interior of Rayson International made the Sorenson Multimedia and the Winslow family's Avid Ventures Real Estate that she was familiar with seem like night and day.<br /> <br /> As she expected, meeting Clayton was no easy feat. Clayton never entertained visitors without appointments despite Nathan making his identity known.<br /> <br /> Luckily, Isabella's name had worked in their favor. 'Looks like he still remembers yesterday's incident. In that case, he will surely recognize me, too. The gown I wore was tailor-made and cost ten times more than Isabella's, practically making me the star of the event. There's no way he'll forget my pretty face,' she mused in glee.<br /> <br /> Yvonne's heart raced involuntarily when she saw Clayton's assistant coming to escort them upstairs. She thought giddily, 'My goodness, Weston's quite the looker. What a pity that he isn't pursuing a celebrity career.'<br /> <br /> They had taken the private elevator up to Clayton's office, where another two astonished yet dashing men stood by the entrance. Yvonne was beyond thrilled on the inside, confident they were amazed by her beauty. 'I knew it. No one will overlook my looks with Isabella absent. See, even Mr. Murray's assistants are mesmerized by me,' she pondered, brimming with confidence and anticipation.<br /> <br /> After Weston knocked on the door, a deep voice rang out from inside. "Come in."<br /> <br /> Weston opened the door and politely gestured for Nathan and Yvonne to enter. "Mr. and Ms. Ingram are here, Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> Clayton looked up, his gaze and voice turning cold as he questioned Weston, "Didn't you say Ms. Isabella Sorenson was here?"<br /> <br /> Weston turned quizzically to Nathan.<br /> <br /> Nathan was all smiles as he stepped forward eagerly. "Hello, Mr. Murray! I'm Nathan Ingram. Isabella's my daughter."<br /> <br /> Clayton did not get up or spare a glance at Nathan's extended hand. "Where's Isabella?"<br /> <br /> Nathan awkwardly retracted his hand. "Ah, Isabella. She's, uh..."<br /> <br /> "Mr. Murray, my sister wanted us to inform you that she can't marry you," Yvonne chimed in gently while staring at Clayton.<br /> <br /> Clayton arched an eyebrow at the father-daughter duo.<br /> <br /> Nathan clenched his fist at his side and said solemnly, "That's right. We've come to explain the situation. Isabella is already engaged, so she can't marry you. But I have anotherโ"<br /> <br /> "Mr. Ingram!" Clayton interrupted frigidly. "Hasn't it already been made clear to everyone yesterday? Isabella called off the engagement with her ex-fiancรฉ and asked me to marry her. If she wants to go back on her word, she'll have to tell me herself!"<br /> <br /> Nathan's face fell as it dawned on him that Clayton was serious about the marriage.<br /> <br /> Yvonne became anxious. "I don't think you understand, Mr. Murray. Her and Zachary's marriage contract is set in stone. It was personally arranged by her mother. Isabella can't call the shots!"<br /> <br /> Clayton leaned back, arms crossed. "Oh? How about me, then? Mr. Ingram, as I said yesterday, nobody has dared to stop me from doing anything I want. Have you forgotten that, or did you choose not to believe me?"<br /> <br /> Clayton stared at Nathan, who instinctively lowered his head in the face of Clayton's overwhelmingly imposing aura. A shiver ran down Nathan's spine. "O-Of course not, Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> "Then what are you doing here now?" Clayton's voice was utterly icy.<br /> <br /> Yvonne boldly met his eyes. "Mr. Murray, I'm Yvonne Ingram, 20 this year, currently a sophomore at the University of Moulmore, majoring in economics and management, and future heiress to Sorenson Multimedia. Will you marry me instead?"

The young billionaire whispered with his hand grabbing Isabella's, who was in a wedding gown.<br /> "Do you need me to help you seek revenge? Whether it's the scumbag who betrayed you or your stepmother, they're nothing in front of me."<br /> Isabella looked at the handsome man in front of her and nodded.<br /> "Marry me, and we'll let them regret it for the rest of their lives."<br /> <br /> Chapter 1 Betrayal<br /> Up on the massive screen, a couple in their birthday suits were all tangled up, getting hot and heavy, and the surround sound was blasting every moan and breath.<br /> <br /> The lady had curves for days and her skin was mad smooth. Then there came a close-up of their faces.<br /> <br /> Isabella Sorenson was struck dumb, staring up at the screen, and she felt like she'd just been punched in the gut. The naked couple were none other than her main squeeze Zachary Winslow and her bestie Scarlett Pearson.<br /> <br /> And no joke, they were both right there next to her because today was supposed to be Isabella and Zachary's engagement party.<br /> <br /> Just a second before, that screen was showing cute throwbacks of Zachary and Isabella growing up together, while some dude was talking all mushy about it. It went from little Isabella at three to Zachary at seven, and then instead of more childhood pictures, the screen switched to the hookup video.<br /> <br /> "Ah!" Scarlett let out a scream and threw her arms around Zachary.<br /> <br /> Now, if anybody was still clueless about who were up on that screen, everything was out in the open. While Isabella was stuck on the spot, Zachary was hugging Scarlett.<br /> <br /> The whole place exploded with whispers and gasps.<br /> <br /> "Yo, ain't that Isabella's ride-or-die?" one guest whispered.<br /> <br /> "Seriously, Ms. Sorenson got played?" chimed in another.<br /> <br /> "Yo, check out that bod!" somebody else hollered.<br /> <br /> "What's going on?" Isabella's father, Nathan Ingram, was freaking out, trying to cover up the screen, but this screen was enormous. Though he was like pushing six feet, he looked straight-up silly trying to block it.<br /> <br /> Terence Winslow, Zachary's father, was beet red but he bolted toward the control room to turn off the screen.<br /> <br /> Scarlett, her eyes leaking like a faucet, hit Isabella with the puppy dog eyes. "Isabella, didn't you pinky swear to let this go? I promised I'd ditch Zachary and leave town the second you're engaged. Why you gotta blast this now? Are you trying to ruin me?"<br /> <br /> When Scarlett clung to Zachary, he looked kinda red-faced but went wide-eyed the second he heard what Scarlett said. Holding her firmly, he asked, "What are you saying, Scarlett? Isabella forced you to leave?"<br /> <br /> It was as if a bomb had detonated within Isabella's mind, leaving her stunned and disoriented. She stared blankly at Zachary, her childhood sweetheart. Ever since she could remember, Isabella had made up her mind to spend the rest of her life with Zachary.<br /> <br /> 'When did he and Scarlett become a thing? And when did I ever agree not to pursue this matter? What's going on here? What are they talking about?' Isabelle wondered.<br /> <br /> "How could you be so vicious, setting up your own fiancรฉ and best friend?" Zachary's sister, Megan Winslow, shoved Isabella on the shoulder.<br /> <br /> Isabella, in a daze, didn't see that coming and staggered backward until she ended up right beside Nathan.<br /> <br /> Nathan was filled with fury. Raising his hand, he slapped her in the face. "Look at what you've done! You've brought disgrace upon both our families!"<br /> <br /> Before Isabella could even regain her balance, she was knocked to the ground by the slap. Zachary grew anxious and instinctively wanted to help her up, but Scarlett tightened her grip on his arm.<br /> <br /> Isabella turned and caught a glance of the smugness in Scarlett's eyes.<br /> <br /> "How can you hit your child? Come on, get up, Isabella." A voice was heard as a pair of hands helped Isabella to her feet.<br /> <br /> Terence sighed, "Isabella, don't blame your father. What you did was really out of line."<br /> <br /> Lorelai Winslow, Zachary's mother, pointed at Scarlett and said, "Where did you come from? You must have seduced my son. Get out of here! I'll never let you become part of our family!"<br /> <br /> Scarlett hid behind Zachary like a scared puppy.<br /> <br /> Zachary positioned himself protectively in front of Scarlett, his voice firm as he addressed his mother. "Mom, don't blame Scarlett. Isabella, she's your best friend. You can't push her to the brink like this!"<br /> <br /> With Terence's support, Isabella finally got back to her feet. A solitary tear traced its path down her cheek. As she gazed up at Zachary, the man she had loved for most of her life, she realized he had become a stranger in the blink of an eye.<br /> <br /> 'Scarlett's supposed to be my best friend. He knows that. They play me and now it's my bad?' she thought.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, I can't even with you. Zach, how can you tie the knot with her? After you're hitched, who knows what stories she'll spin? Can't trust her. Not one bit!" Megan was throwing shade at Isabella before turning to Zachary, all concerned.<br /> <br /> Megan had been in the same class as Isabella back in high school, but they never really hit it off. Megan always teamed up with Yvonne Ingram to give Isabella a hard time. Plus, Megan detested the idea of Isabella becoming part of her family.<br /> <br /> "Zip it! Isabella is the eldest daughter of the esteemed Sorenson family. And who's that chick? Does she possess the same standing as Isabella? How could the Winslow family be cool with letting just anyone in?" Lorelai snapped off, not realizing she was pretty loud.<br /> <br /> Lorelai wasn't Isabella's number one fan, but she was all about that social ladder. Having Isabella marry in was like a major level-up for Zachary. No other high-class family had a daughter that could touch Isabella's status. Plus, Isabella was the kind of person one could sway pretty easy.<br /> <br /> So yeah, Lorelai had to make it crystal clearโthey couldn't let Isabella slip away.<br /> <br /> At first, Isabella kind of felt thankful to her future mother-in-law for stepping up, but then it hit her why she really did it.<br /> <br /> "Yes! Isabella, you're the eldest daughter of the Sorenson family. You should consider the reputations of the Sorenson family, the Ingram family, and the Winslow family before doing this!" Yvonne chimed in, looking all stressed.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, you've just crushed your dad. His heart's in pieces," Winona said, sounding all sweet but sad.<br /> <br /> Winona and Yvonne dropping those lines just made Nathan and Terence pull grumpier faces. 'She's gotta grow up. Can't be airing our dirty laundry like this!' they thought.<br /> <br /> Chapter 2 Proposal<br /> Isabella looked at the people around her.<br /> <br /> Her father, Nathan, was boiling mad.<br /> <br /> Her stepmother, Winona, and her half-sister, Yvonne, were getting a kick out of the drama.<br /> <br /> Her future father-in-law Terence was just shaking his head, and future mother-in-law Lorelai was cringing.<br /> <br /> Her would-be sister-in-law Megan was glaring holes through her.<br /> <br /> Her fiancรฉ, Zachary, didn't know what to do. In his arms was the pitiful woman, Scarlett, who was once her best friend.<br /> <br /> These folks were Isabella's whole world. And just like that, the world flipped, leaving Isabella as the one everyone was pointing fingers at.<br /> <br /> Isabella brushed away the tears and said lightly, "I hereby announce that Zachary Winslow and Isabella Sorenson's marriage contract has been canceled. We have nothing to do with each other from now on. I wish you happiness!" Then she bounced off the stage.<br /> <br /> Her dad Nathan jumped in, "Hold up, you think it's just up to you? You and Zachary were a done deal before you were even a twinkle. Don't even try to ditch this without my say-so!" Nathan had always been tough on Isabella, mostly because having Isabella around was a constant reminder that he was kind of a live-in son-in-law and his kids had to take their mom's last name. Big-time embarrassment for a guy who made it big.<br /> <br /> "And Isabella, cool it, will ya? Zachary messed up, and we'll make him say sorry. This marriage thing wasn't just your call, it's our families' deal. Don't go and have a meltdown. I got your back," Terence tried to smooth things over.<br /> <br /> Then he whirled around and snapped at Zachary, "Zachary! Drop that girl already!"<br /> <br /> Zachary looked like he didn't know what hit him.<br /> <br /> Scarlett, all tears and drama, shoved Zachary away. "Go after Isabella, Zachary. My bad, it's all on me. I'm no match for Isabella. I'm sorry, Isabella. Forgive me, okay? Don't go."<br /> <br /> Zachary just stood there, silent as a ghost.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, hold it! Are you deaf?" Nathan was beside himself with rage. He thought, 'She's always done what I said, like a perfect little robot. Why's she ignoring orders today?'<br /> <br /> Isabella stopped cold, her hands balled into fists so tight they hurt. She spun around to face Nathan.<br /> <br /> Now Nathan got real. "Come on, it's nothing. Why you making a big deal? Zachary and his folks are cool now. What more do you need? Who else would deal with your drama? You gotta see where your bread's buttered!"<br /> <br /> Isabella just felt this chill and said real slow, "He deserves better than me. I'll find someone else, no biggie."<br /> <br /> Nathan lost it, "Who else would even look at you?"<br /> <br /> But Isabella, she didn't even flinch. Shoulders back, head high, she walked right out the door.<br /> <br /> The crowd was eating up the drama like it was prime-time TV.<br /> <br /> Zachary and Isabella's engagement was like the hot gossip among the rich folks. Their families were tight, and with Isabella and Zachary set to tie the knot, the business was booming.<br /> <br /> The engagement party was just for show. They were heading for the altar anyway. But then, the plot thickened like in a soap opera.<br /> <br /> Zachary did Isabella dirty with her own bestie. Feeling burned, Isabella put them on blast right there in front of everyone.<br /> <br /> Instead of feeling sorry for her, people were ragging on Isabella. She was pretty shaken up when she realized that nobody seemed to care about her side of the story. But could she really get mad when her own dad dissed her too?<br /> <br /> Isabella stepped down from the stage and nearly took a spill in her killer heels. Just in time, one guy reached out and saved her from a faceplant.<br /> <br /> "Thanks," Isabella mumbled, looking down.<br /> <br /> A chill voice came from up top, "Watch your step."<br /> <br /> Isabella regained her balance, raised her head, and met a pair of deep, calm eyes. She was momentarily stunned, charmed by the handsome face before her. This guy was something elseโstrong brows, dark blue eyes, the works. He was all smiles and chill vibes.<br /> <br /> She took a breath and laid it all out there, completely honest. "Hi! Are you single?"<br /> <br /> He was stunned but nodded.<br /> <br /> Ignoring the crowd's shocked gasps, Isabella was like, "I'm Isabella Sorenson, 22, still in college at University of Moulmore. I have 40% shares in Sorenson Multimedia and will inherit all the inheritance left by my granddad and mom when I turn 25. But for now, I'm penniless. I need to marry someone. You in?"<br /> <br /> Isabella locked eyes with the guy. She was ticked off for sure, but she didn't give a flip. Her life's been no cakewalk. She fell hard for Zachary, and he didn't even say 'my bad' for stabbing her in the back.<br /> <br /> Her mom's parting advice to Isabella was to play it cool, to roll with the punches. For years, she put up with the drama and what'd she get? Zilch, just a slap in the face and zero backup.<br /> <br /> Isabella thought, 'I'd rather throw the baby out with the bathwater at this point. They're all drooling over my wealth and gearing up to rip me off, right? Fine! I'll marry someone random and not give them a dime!'<br /> <br /> Then, like clockwork, someone in the peanut gallery was like, "Holy cow! Did Isabella just lose it? What's she yapping about now? Poor Zachary."<br /> <br /> "Totally shameless! Just grabs a guy and pops the question? And after Zachary's folks bent over backwards to get her to forgive him!" added another voice.<br /> <br /> Chapter 3 It Is Him<br /> Isabella stood next to the stage, and everybody caught every word she said. Nathan, Terence, and the crowd beelined to her.<br /> <br /> "Isabella Sorenson! Have you flipped your lid?" Nathan's face was all red.<br /> <br /> "No kidding! What's that even mean?" Winona added, looking all shook up.<br /> <br /> "Are you crazy? You're practically giving away your assets by doing this!" Lorelai was devastated.<br /> <br /> Isabella completely ignored the people behind her and focused on the man before her. "Sir, do you hear me? Marry me, and you will have a fortune in three years. It's a bargain."<br /> <br /> The man's clear gaze met hers, and he chuckled. "You know, guys usually do the proposing." His voice was low and sexy.<br /> <br /> Isabella was speechless, the crowd zipped it for a hot second, then split their sides laughing. They figured he ditched her.<br /> <br /> Nathan almost couldn't resist the urge to storm forward and kick Isabella. "Isabella! Get back here right now!"<br /> <br /> The man's low voice sounded right after Nathan finished his sentence. "I'll marry you."<br /> <br /> Complete silence ensued.<br /> <br /> "My name is Clayton Murray. I'm 28 years old and single. I work at Rayson International. Ms. Isabella Sorenson, will you marry me?" Clayton fixed his gaze upon Isabella.<br /> <br /> Tears fell from Isabella's big eyes. "Thank you! Yes, I will!"<br /> <br /> Inside, she's throwing high fives to luck. Finally, she could breathe. Didn't matter who he was as long as she was pulling herself out of the quicksand.<br /> <br /> And just like that, the crowd went wild.<br /> <br /> "Say what? That's Clayton Murray from Rayson International?" someone gasped.<br /> <br /> "Whoa, the legendary second son of the Murray family?" someone else hollered.<br /> <br /> "No way! I heard Clayton doesn't mix with ladies. Could this be a fake?" somebody wondered.<br /> <br /> "Bummer. Mr. Murray's like a ghostโnever seen in public or snapping selfies. How can we even know if it's really him?" another person pitched in.<br /> <br /> "He looks legit. I mean, who would have the guts to fake being Mr. Murray? Plus, dude's got charmโI hear the real Clayton's a looker," came a comment from the crowd.<br /> <br /> Isabella dried her eyes and spun around to face the stage crowd. "Just to be clearโZachary and I are done. We're out of each other's lives. Next up, I'm marryingโ"<br /> <br /> She had to check with Clayton because she blanked on his name.<br /> <br /> "Clayton." He gave her a small grin.<br /> <br /> "Yeah, Clayton!" Isabella said, staring them down without a wince.<br /> <br /> Nathan boomed, "Hold up; you're the Clayton Murray?"<br /> <br /> Clayton just gave a cool nod. "That's me."<br /> <br /> Terence's expression darkened. He glared at Zachary and Scarlett, thinking, 'It's all this little punk's fault!'<br /> <br /> Megan and Yvonne were stunned. 'How's he so drop-dead gorgeous?' they wondered incredulously.<br /> <br /> Clayton swept his glance across the stage. "You all must be Isabella's family. Sorry for taking the liberty to announce our marriage in this way today. I'll pay you a visit someday."<br /> <br /> After saying that, he turned around and linked arms with Isabella, his tone gentle as he spoke to her. "Let's go. What's going on here is none of our business."<br /> <br /> "Mr. Murray, don't be fooled by Isabella! Over the years, she has been a nuisance, trying all means to curry favor with Zach just to get married to him. A woman even Zach has abandoned doesn't deserve you!" Megan shouted eagerly. ''I won't let Isabella have such an excellent man all to herself! I'm better than her. Mr. Murray should marry me. Isabella is nothing compared to me!' she thought.<br /> <br /> "Yes, Mr. Murray. Please wait! Isabella hasn't gotten my dad's permission." Yvonne's soft voice was filled with anxiety. She wasn't as foolish and reckless as Megan, but she, too, wanted Clayton to herself. 'Everyone will think Clayton and Isabella are engaged if they leave like this. I won't allow this! Such an outstanding man should be mine,' she mused.<br /> <br /> "Dad, say something! How can you let Isabella leave like this? Mr. Winslow hasn't agreed to cancel the engagement yet!" Yvonne urged.<br /> <br /> Nathan met his beloved daughter's gaze and cleared his throat. "Isabella! Come back!"<br /> <br /> Terence and Lorelai exchanged glances before the latter shouted, "Isabella, stop messing around. Come back and let's talk things out."<br /> <br /> Isabella tightened her fists, and Clayton patted her on the arm as reassurance.<br /> <br /> He stopped, turned around, and glanced at the people on the stage. "Thank you, Mr. Zachary Winslow, for falling in love with someone else and giving Isabella to me."<br /> <br /> Everyone, including Isabella, looked at Clayton in surprise.<br /> <br /> Gazing at Clayton's side profile, Isabella thought, 'I'm so lucky today. This random man that I chose supports me without hesitation.'<br /> <br /> Clayton then looked at Nathan. "Mr. Ingram, do you have a problem with your daughter marrying me?"<br /> <br /> His voice was gentle and calm, but his domineering aura made Nathan flinch.<br /> <br /> "Zachary, my stomach hurts." An anguished voice rang out at that moment. Scarlett, grabbing Zachary, held her stomach and bent over in pain.<br /> <br /> "Scarlett, what's wrong?" The anxiety and concern in Zachary's voice were obvious.<br /> <br /> Isabella's gaze dimmed, and her heart ached when she saw how much Zachary cared for Scarlett. Lorelai and Terence looked at Scarlett furiously.<br /> <br /> Scarlett admitted timidly, "I-I have been pregnant for two months."<br /> <br /> "What? A-Are you pregnant with Zachary's child?" Lorelai was in shock.<br /> <br /> Scarlett nodded in pain. "Zachary, my stomach hurts."<br /> <br /> Zachary panicked and said, "T-Then, what should we do?" He didn't expect Scarlett to be pregnant. He looked at Isabella below the stage and averted his gaze upon noticing her tear-filled eyes.<br /> <br /> Chapter 4 Conspiracy<br /> "What are you still standing around for? Quick, get her to the hospital. The child's safety comes first," Lorelai said urgently, placing her future grandchild's well-being above all else.<br /> <br /> Clayton covered his mouth and stifled a chuckle. "Even in this situation, you still want your daughter to marry into a family like this, Mr. Ingram? What exactly do you hope to gain from the Winslow family?"<br /> <br /> His words caused a visible shift in everyone's expression.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Nathan's expression was grim.<br /> <br /> Marrying Isabella to Zachary was a strategic move for both families. However, if Clayton was willing to wed Isabella, he would become Nathan's son-in-law, with Rayson International as Nathan's backing.<br /> <br /> The value of one hundred Avid Ventures Real Estate paled in comparison to Rayson International. In the face of years of friendship and mutual benefits, Nathan was torn between loyalty and opportunity. He was a businessman, and he knew what he wanted.<br /> <br /> Clayton saw the calculative glint in Nathan's eyes, turned to Isabella, and softly inquired, "Shall we go?"<br /> <br /> Isabella tore her eyes away from Zachary and Scarlett, nodding gently.<br /> <br /> She visited the graves of her granddad and mother, George and Irina Sorenson, tenderly wiping their photos clean with a tissue.<br /> <br /> "I'm sorry, Granddad, Mom. Zachary and I are no longer together. Our marriage won't be happening," she murmured.<br /> <br /> Caressing Irina's photo on the tombstone, she couldn't control her tears. "I've tried to heed your advice, Mom, enduring everything. But now, I'm at my wit's end. I'm only 22 years old, still too young to take over the company with my current ability," she confessed.<br /> <br /> "I thought things would be fine once I got married, but now..." Isabella muffled her sobs with her hand, her body trembling as she knelt before the tombstone, curled into a small ball of grief.<br /> <br /> Since Irina's passing, Isabella had learned to endure silently through countless trials, enduring disdain from Nathan, Winona, and Yvonne. Growing up in a home that no longer felt like hers was a constant struggle, yet she clung to the hope that marrying Zachary would bring her freedom. She believed that everything would soon be fine.<br /> <br /> When Nathan told her about the engagement party that was about to be held, Isabella was overjoyed. They had planned to get married after her university graduation the following year, and once that happened, she'd finally be free.<br /> <br /> Zachary was the man she loved dearly, and she believed the union arranged by George and Irina must be the best course. After all, Zachary was the guardian angel George and Irina had chosen for her.<br /> <br /> Throughout her childhood, Zachary had been her constant companion, treating her with great care.<br /> <br /> George passed away when Isabella was just eight years old, followed by Irina when Isabella turned ten, enveloping her world in hues of gray.<br /> <br /> When Isabella turned twelve, Zachary left for his studies abroad.<br /> <br /> Tearfully, Isabella clung to his hand, reluctant to let him go, fearful of losing the sole connection she had left to George and Irina.<br /> <br /> She vividly recalled Zachary's promise as he held her hand and said, "Isabella, wait for me. I will come back and marry you when I'm grown up." Those words echoed constantly in her mind.<br /> <br /> Throughout the years, Isabella dedicated herself entirely to Zachary. She nurtured their relationship meticulously, treasuring their brief annual reunions, and worked tirelessly to mold herself into the person he admired, adapting to his preferences.<br /> <br /> Despite enduring ridicule, sarcasm, and insults from Megan and Yvonne, she clung to the belief that everything would be fine after she married Zachary.<br /> <br /> Marrying Zachary had been Isabella's primary motivation and ultimate goal throughout those years. Every future scenario she envisioned concluded with her union with Zachary.<br /> <br /> She firmly believed that marrying him would breathe new life into her existence, heralding a fresh chapter and a brighter future.<br /> <br /> Whenever she faced punishment and was locked in a dark room, whenever she suffered from hunger, whenever she faced difficulties, the mere thought of that envisioned future fueled her with boundless courage.<br /> <br /> Alas, that hope was shattered. The day she had dreamed of would never materialize. The envisioned future dissolved, leaving behind a shattered world. Isabella felt as though her heart had been torn from her chest, leaving behind an agonizing void.<br /> <br /> After a long while of weeping silently, Isabella raised her head, wiping away tears with trembling hands, and pledged, "Granddad, Mom, from now on, I'll live for myself. I'll do my best to not let you down." Despite the pain, she knew that life must persist, regardless of the circumstances.<br /> <br /> As Isabella left the cemetery, the sun had already descended below the horizon.<br /> <br /> Clayton's car waited silently by the gate, catching Isabella off guard. Stepping out of the vehicle, Clayton opened the passenger seat door for her. She said in a low voice as she settled into the seat, "Thank you."<br /> <br /> Clayton got back in the car and glanced at Isabella. Her eyes and nose were red, and she looked exhausted. "Let's find a place for you to rest," Clayton suggested.<br /> <br /> Isabella shook her head, recognizing the inevitability of confronting what lay ahead. "Mr. Murray, thanks for your help today," she croaked, her voice strained from emotion.<br /> <br /> Clayton started the car and asked, "Where do you want to go?"<br /> <br /> "Could you please drive me home?" Isabella requested softly.<br /> <br /> After confirming the address, Clayton fell into silence as Isabella leaned against the window, closing her eyes for the journey home.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, at the Ingram residence, Nathan, Winona, and Yvonne sat facing each other on the couch in solemn silence.<br /> <br /> Breaking the silence, Yvonne implored, "Dad, you can't allow Isabella to marry Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> Nathan, having deliberated the matter during his return journey, felt a disquieting unease despite acknowledging the potential benefits of Isabella's union with Clayton. When pressed by Yvonne, he couldn't help but raise his gaze to meet hers, questioning, "Why?"<br /> <br /> Yvonne hesitated, not knowing what to say, thinking, 'I can't say I should be the one to marry Mr. Murray, right?' She glanced at Winona.<br /> <br /> Winona, pouring a cup of coffee for Nathan, said with composure, "Nate, it's widely known that Isabella and Zachary have been engaged to each other since childhood. Considering her background, it's not suitable for her to wed into the Murray family. Won't they look down on her?"<br /> <br /> Chapter 5 Stirring Up Trouble<br /> Nathan furrowed his brow in response, stating, "That's her decision to make. If she chooses to marry Mr. Murray, and if the Murrays look down on her, she only has herself to blame."<br /> <br /> Winona exchanged a meaningful glance with Yvonne before continuing, "While that may be true, she's still your daughter. If there's talk about her outside, it inevitably reflects on us as well. That's not good."<br /> <br /> Winona looked up at Nathan, who listened intently. "I'm not her biological mother, so I have no authority to discipline her," she began. "As you can see, she rarely communicates with us these years and has her own ideas. What happened today was saddening. She humiliated you in front of everyone. It's one thing for her to disrespect me over the years, but the way she treated you today was unacceptable. Despite my efforts, she only acknowledges Irina as her mother, thinking that we owe her."<br /> <br /> Tears welled up in Winona's eyes as she sniffled. "I know what you're thinking. A marriage of convenience with the Murray family will benefit the company greatly. However, if Isabella doesn't stand by you, then..."<br /> <br /> Her words trailed off, but her meaning was clear.<br /> <br /> Yvonne's gaze flickered as she inwardly praised her mother's wisdom. "Exactly, Dad. We can't squander resources. Even if Isabella married into the Winslow family, there's no guaranteeing she'll put in a good word for you. Your partnership with Mr. Winslow has been smooth-sailing, and that's based on your friendship with him, not Isabella's involvement," Yvonne chimed in.<br /> <br /> Nathan suddenly realized what had been bothering him. Isabella's defiance had caught him off guard. He desired a compliant daughter, not one with her own convictions. He glanced at them, took a sip of coffee, and asked in a deep voice, "So, what do you guys suggest?"<br /> <br /> Winona and Yvonne exchanged a glance. Winona gently proposed, "Nate, we can't trust Isabella, but we can rely on Yvonne. She's our biological daughter."<br /> <br /> Nathan's focus shifted to Yvonne, who appeared bashful. "Mom, we're talking about Isabella. Why bring me up?"<br /> <br /> Winona's expression grew stern. "Yvonne, I'm serious. You're our daughter. You can't just enjoy the privileges your father provides. You must share his burden, understand?" she chided.<br /> <br /> Yvonne straightened up, raising her hand in a playful gesture. "Yes, Mom, I understand. I'll be there for Dad whenever he needs me," she vowed with a smile.<br /> <br /> Nathan was reassured by her promise. Nodding, he remarked, "Winona, you've raised her well. Isabella, on the other hand, is truly disappointing."<br /> <br /> Winona smiled faintly, "My hands are tied. Anything I say as her stepmother could easily be misinterpreted as having ulterior motives."<br /> <br /> "Hmph! It's because she doesn't know what's best for her," Nathan snorted. Then, he frowned. "Are you suggesting that Yvonne should marry into the Murray family?"<br /> <br /> Winona nodded, affirming, "We can trust Yvonne. She's our sweetheart."<br /> <br /> "But Yvonne is only twenty," Nathan voiced his concern. He had always cherished Yvonne and had never contemplated marrying her off at such a young age.<br /> <br /> Knowing that he was wavering, Winona smiled reassuringly, "So what if she's twenty? We can arrange for the marriage now and wait for Yvonne to graduate from university before holding the wedding. That doesn't make much difference."<br /> <br /> Nathan cradled his forehead, contemplating her proposal.<br /> <br /> "Dad, if it benefits our family, I'm in. Trust me; I'll try my best to ensure our family's prosperity," Yvonne declared resolutely, biting her lip as if determined to sacrifice herself for the family.<br /> <br /> Nathan eventually nodded in agreement, which put a smile on Yvonne's face.<br /> <br /> However, Winona intervened softly, "But, Nate, we're not acquainted with Mr. Murray. Perhaps we'll need Isabella to introduce us?"<br /> <br /> Yvonne was taken aback, immediately objecting, "Why should she introduce us? As we saw today, she asked Mr. Murray to marry her on the spur of the moment. Mr. Murray agreed as soon as she mentioned it. So, why can't we approach him directly?"<br /> <br /> Yvonne considered herself superior to Isabella. She mused inwardly, 'In terms of appearance and figure, I'm much better than that country bumpkin. Why should Isabella, who's inferior to me, get to marry such a perfect man? Since Mr. Murray agreed to Isabella's proposal, he'd agree to mine too.'<br /> <br /> Nathan thought her words made sense and pondered for a moment. "Well, how about we pay a visit to Rayson International tomorrow?"<br /> <br /> Outside the Ingram residence, Clayton parked the car and glanced at Isabella who was already asleep in the passenger seat.<br /> <br /> It should've been her engagement party that day. She wore a white knee-length dress, her pinned-up hair already disheveled, with several strands hanging down. Her delicate face appeared particularly pale. She didn't change much since childhood. As she jumped down from the stage, Clayton was struck by the pain and resolution reflected in her eyes.<br /> <br /> 'It seems like she's been struggling all these years,' Clayton thought, tenderly tucking her hair behind her ear.<br /> <br /> Isabella's long lashes quivered slightly as she stirred awake at his touch, momentarily confused upon seeing Clayton.<br /> <br /> "Are you awake?" Clayton asked gently.<br /> <br /> Isabella blinked, and the memories of what happened flooded back. She took a deep breath, attempting to quell the overwhelming pain pulsating through her veins.<br /> <br /> Gazing toward the Ingram residence, she was enveloped by a chilling coldness. This place had been her home, yet since the age of ten, she felt like a superfluous presence there.<br /> <br /> Previously, Zachary's presence had somewhat eased the void left by George and Irina. However, at present, she was all alone.<br /> <br /> The gate of the residence was like a gaping maw, ready to devour her and the legacy of George and Irina at any moment.<br /> <br /> "Do you need me to go in there with you?" Clayton asked softly, observing Isabella, who was staring into space.<br /> <br /> Isabella slowly shook her head. Staring directly ahead, she spoke to Clayton in a composed but distant manner. "Mr. Murray, can we make a deal? I need to leave this place now, but they won't allow me to rent a house independently. Our school's in the middle of renovations, and once the new semester kicks off, students like us who are in the senior year will have to find internship positions on our own, and we can no longer live in dorms. The only option left for me is to get married. Once I get married, I can leave for good."<br /> <br /> Clayton tightened his grip on the steering wheel.<br /> <br /> "I propose we marry, and I'll move into your residence. I'll reside there and pay you rent. If I face financial constraints, I'll provide you with a promissory note. I've mentioned that I'll inherit some assets after turning twenty-five. At that point, I'll settle all my debts to you. Then, we'll proceed with divorce proceedings, and I'll allocate half of the inheritance I receive to you as compensation for marrying me now," Isabella explained.<br /> <br /> Chapter 6 Realization<br /> Isabella declared resolutely, "I will draft a formal agreement stating our rights and responsibilities. Our union will only be a sham marriage. Should you happen to develop feelings for someone else during this time, I ask that you wait until we've been married for at least a year before seeking a divorce. I assure you, my commitment to our arrangement stands firm, and you will receive every cent of your compensation as promised. With this agreement in place, we can ensure fairness for both parties."<br /> <br /> Noticing a pen and paper tucked under the armrest, Isabella grabbed them, jotting down her phone number before passing it to Clayton. "Here is my contact information. Take your time to ponder my proposal; however, I expect your response within three days. Do not delay." With that, Isabella exited the car and left, leaving Clayton staring at the note in his hand blankly.<br /> <br /> Her decisiveness left Clayton momentarily stunned.<br /> <br /> He couldn't help chuckling as he watched Isabella walk away in determined strides. "Isabella, I'm back. I'll stand by your side no matter what you do," Clayton murmured, thinking, 'I'll let her do whatever she wants. Whatever happens, I'll clean up after her.' Even if she didn't know who he was, Nathan did. Nathan'd never dare to lay a hand on her.<br /> <br /> *****<br /> <br /> Dinner was served in a peaceful ambiance.<br /> <br /> "Ms. Sorenson, you've returned." One of the maids, Elsie Anderson, was surprised to see Isabella.<br /> <br /> Isabella paid no heed to the mix of surprise and disdain the other three were displaying. "Dad, Winona." Dipping her head, she greeted them before settling at the table, accepting the soup bowl offered by Elsie.<br /> <br /> She hadn't eaten anything since morning and was starving. Clayton had suggested taking her to dinner earlier, but she had declined. She would have to face this sooner or later, so why delay it?<br /> <br /> "Isabella, why are you only back now? Mom and Dad were too worried to eat," Yvonne said, sharing a meaningful glance with Winona.<br /> <br /> Nathan's expression darkened.<br /> <br /> Isabella finished her soup and put down the spoon. Disregarding the cold leftovers on the table, she explained, "I went to visit Grandpa and Mom. I needed to inform them that Zachary and I have called off our engagement."<br /> <br /> Nathan sneered, "And they didn't reprimand you?"<br /> <br /> Isabella lowered her head in silence.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, you've pissed your dad off today. How could you embarrass him in front of everyone?" Winona said softly.<br /> <br /> "Mom, don't blame Isabella. Remember, she's the eldest daughter of the Sorenson family and the designated heiress of Sorenson Multimedia. Dad wouldn't hold it against her. Who knows what those shareholders might say if he did?" Yvonne interjected, stealing glances at Nathan.<br /> <br /> Nathan's expression darkened further as his gaze bore into Isabella.<br /> <br /> Isabella quietly ate the food Elsie gave her. She had gotten used to such drama. Winona and Yvonne always sowed discord between her and Nathan. Then, endless insults would ensue that would sometimes escalate into physical abuse.<br /> <br /> She was a Sorenson, and her father was an Ingram. That was one of her sins.<br /> <br /> Nathan didn't lose his temper. Instead, he snorted derisively before leaving the dining room.<br /> <br /> Winona shot a glance and Yvonne and Isabella before following Nathan out.<br /> <br /> As soon as her parents left, Yvonne abandoned her facade of dignity. Casting a scornful glance at Isabella, who remained meek and reserved as always, she said sarcastically, "I'm amazed you still have the nerve to stay alive. If I were in your shoes, I'd have put an end to it all by now. Maybe flung myself into a river or hung myself. Anything's better than living like this. Your fiancรฉ despises you and cheats on you with your closest friend. Aren't you devastated? How do you even have an appetite?"<br /> <br /> After taking the final bite, Isabella met Yvonne's gaze with indifference. "I've found someone willing to wed me."<br /> <br /> Yvonne scoffed, "Wake up, will you? Do you honestly believe you're the eldest daughter of the Sorenson family?"<br /> <br /> Isabella merely looked at her coldly. Yvonne often carried herself with elegance and composure in public. Isabella was perhaps the only person who had seen her true colors.<br /> <br /> She thought, 'Does Yvonne ever get tired of pretending? I pretend to be indifferent and weak because Winona and Yvonne forced me to, but no one's forcing Yvonne. So why is she pretending?'<br /> <br /> "What're you looking at?" Yvonne bellowed at Isabella. Isabella's charming face never failed to anger her. 'Why does she get all the luck? A wealthy grandfather and mother, and even that envy-inducing face!' she seethed inwardly.<br /> <br /> Yvonne sent her plate hurtling toward Isabella.<br /> <br /> Isabella rose from her seat, narrowly dodging the plate as it crashed to the ground.<br /> <br /> "What's wrong?" Winona asked loudly.<br /> <br /> Yvonne glared at Isabella.<br /> <br /> Normally, Isabella would've quickly apologized to Winona, saying she had accidentally broken the plate. Yet, today, Isabella simply turned to face the incensed Yvonne in silence.<br /> <br /> Elsie interjected fearfully, "Mrs. Ingram, I'm sorry; I accidentally dropped a plate."<br /> <br /> Both Isabella and Yvonne looked at Elsie at the same time.<br /> <br /> Yvonne shot daggers at Elsie before exiting the dining room.<br /> <br /> Elsie tugged at Isabella's arm, whispering, "Ms. Sorenson, just endure it. This too shall pass."<br /> <br /> Endure. It was a mantra instilled in Isabella since childhood by Elsie and also what her late mother said to her. Today, however, she realized that enduring only made things worse.<br /> <br /> Isabella hurried to the bathroom, changing out of the dress and cleansing herself of the shame it carried. She then returned to her room on the second floor, a windowless storeroom bereft of sunlight year-round. She even had to use the maid's bathroom. Besides Elsie, no one would regard her as the family's eldest daughter.<br /> <br /> The luxurious room that her grandfather and mother decorated was handed over to Yvonne just a month after Winona and Yvonne's arrival. Isabella's living quarters changed each time she made a "mistake" until she found herself relegated to the storeroom, a decision that satisfied Winona and Yvonne at last.<br /> <br /> This was the consequence of endurance.<br /> <br /> Isabella curled up on the cramped bed, the air stifling and hot. The wind could only filter in when the door was opened. Yet, she didn't want to move, let alone open the door.<br /> <br /> Isabella closed her eyes, the events of the day replaying in her mind. She watched them unfold once more like a distant observer.<br /> <br /> The moment Zachary started dating Scarlett remained a mystery to her.<br /> <br /> Since Zachary's return from abroad, he started work in his family's company, leaving little opportunity for him and Isabella to spend time together. Isabella was never one to inconvenience others, so she never interrupted Zachary's work. Understanding his desire for a compliant girlfriend, she made every effort to fit that mold.<br /> <br /> Ever since Zachary returned, the two families celebrated festivals together, which Isabella enjoyed.<br /> <br /> Zachary didn't treat her poorly or particularly well, but he and Yvonne were tight. They got along well, even though Zachary used to dislike Yvonne as a kid.<br /> <br /> Chapter 7 Truth<br /> Today, Scarlett claimed Isabella had forgiven them, which was nonsense. Isabella didn't know anything about their affair.<br /> <br /> Isabella wondered, 'Why would she say that? Was it to make Zachary turn against me? If that's the case, it's obvious who played the video. However, Scarlett isn't stupid. There are so many ways to let me know, so why did she choose this one? Doing so will only cause her more harm than good. Oh, right, because doing so makes it seem like my handiwork. No one will suspect Scarlett of selling herself out. As for Zachary, he is always on Scarlett's side. He never admitted his mistake or apologized. He kept emphasizing that Scarlett is my good friend and that I should be nice to her. Zachary, am I being nice to her by letting you go? Why do you take everything I do for granted?'<br /> <br /> Isabella's heart ached as she recalled the tender look Zachary reserved for Scarlett.<br /> <br /> Zachary had never looked at her like that before. 'I'm just not worth his affection, huh?' she pondered.<br /> <br /> Lorelai's words hit Isabella like a sudden storm. Throughout the years, Lorelai treated Isabella well. Isabella once believed she was sincere and even vowed to take good care of Lorelai after the marriage.<br /> <br /> However, it turned out that Lorelai valued her social status and assets. That was probably her second original sin.<br /> <br /> Isabella held a significant 40% stake in Sorenson Multimedia, making her the company's largest shareholder. However, because of her youth, all the dividends from this ownership were directed into a trust established by her grandfather, which remained inaccessible until she reached the age of 25. She wouldn't receive her inheritance from her grandfather and mother until that time.<br /> <br /> Today, she finally realized that the Winslow family's acceptance of her wasn't based on genuine affection or sympathy for her loss of her mother. It also wasn't due to their acquaintance with her late mother and grandfather either. Instead, it was because of the assets she would eventually possess.<br /> <br /> They were kind to her because of her assets, and cruel to her for the same reason.<br /> <br /> Nathan had always been eyeing the property Isabella could inherit, especially because Yvonne didn't have any. When Isabella turned 18, Nathan deemed her old enough to handle her inheritance. He once pressured her to draft a document pledging half of the property to Yvonne. However, his plan was thwarted when the lawyer and four key company shareholders intervened.<br /> <br /> George and Irina foresaw the possibility of someone coveting the assets and therefore imposed an age restriction of 25. At 18, Isabella didn't have the authority to transfer her future assets.<br /> <br /> Nathan had married into the Sorenson family, so any child he had with Irina must carry the Sorenson name, while offspring from other relationships would not inherit this family name.<br /> <br /> Thus, Isabella was the only heiress of the Sorenson family.<br /> <br /> Furthermore, if Nathan decided to transfer his shares to Yvonne rather than Isabella, the four main investors would pull out their money from Sorenson Multimedia. The company had always been in the hands of the Sorenson family, and it would stay that way.<br /> <br /> If the major investors withdrew their support, the company would collapse, as Nathan's 30% stake alone wouldn't be enough to sustain it. Nathan's family eventually gave up on their plan.<br /> <br /> Instead of trying to butter Isabella up to get their way, they chose to resent her even more. Isabella couldn't help but admire them for that, for they didn't yield in the face of greed.<br /> <br /> Another way to access her wealth was by letting her marry Zachary.<br /> <br /> In this scenario, her property would serve as her dowry, to be shared with the Winslow family upon marriage. Given Isabella's infatuation with Zachary, she would likely agree to this arrangement. Consequently, Nathan collaborated with the Winslow family on various investment and development endeavors in recent years, aiming to reap the maximum benefits in due time.<br /> <br /> "Grandpa, Mom, 25 isn't a safe age either. If I were an idiot, I'd still be an idiot at 25 years old," Isabella murmured.<br /> <br /> Luckily, misfortune wasn't the only thing the heavens bestowed upon her. At least Zachary found his true love. She wondered if that had anything to do with divine intervention.<br /> <br /> Getting out of bed, she used a nearby book to fan herself.<br /> <br /> 'Time to draw up a contract for Clayton. If he's sensible, he'll agree to my terms,' she thought. Isabella needed to move out as soon as possible. She had neither the energy nor the mood to deal with Yvonne and Winona's tricks anymore.<br /> <br /> They wouldn't let her rent a place outside, because that would make it hard for them to control her. Also, that would bring disgrace upon the Sorenson family. The only escape route left was to get married.<br /> <br /> The identity of her partner hardly mattered, as long as he was a true gentleman. She would draft a pact, ensuring her safety and rights were protected. And in return, she would offer him the benefits he rightly deserved, for he would be her savior.<br /> <br /> She needed to find a place to settle down and focus on earning money, aiming to gather 300 thousand dollars within a year to finance her studies in Upria for the next five years. It wasn't much, but she could continue earning while studying.<br /> <br /> Her future needed replanning. This time, she was on her own, and she vowed to protect herself from harm.<br /> <br /> The next morning, Nathan took Yvonne to Rayson International. As they stood outside the towering structure, Yvonne was exhilarated.<br /> <br /> Amidst the bustling heart of the city, the building stood tall and majestic. The employees were in a hurry, but their demeanor radiated confidence and pride unmatched by those of other companies.<br /> <br /> A smile crept onto Yvonne's face as she envisioned herself as the owner of this impressive building and the wife of its esteemed boss, overseeing these elite professionals in the future.<br /> <br /> Clayton accepted the document from his assistant, Johnny Lawton, signing it before instructing, "Get in touch with Kayson and have him find a place for me near University of Moulmore. Something around 1,000 square feet, suitable for two people, and fully equipped with all the essentials."<br /> <br /> Johnny answered, "Okay."<br /> <br /> Seeing that Clayton was reading a contract, Johnny called Kayson.<br /> <br /> After a while, Kayson entered. "Boss, what do you think about Moonlight Apartment near University of Moulmore? It's just a ten-minute stroll from the campus, and boasts a thriving community with all the amenities you could need."<br /> <br /> Clayton thought for a moment, but the name didn't ring a bell. "Okay. Go ahead and purchase a unit."<br /> <br /> Kayson laughed, "Boss, that's our property. You reserved a suite for yourself on the 28th floor. I was wondering why you never brought it up again. Turns out you forgot."<br /> <br /> Johnny glared at him. "Cut the crap and get it sorted already."<br /> <br /> Clayton glanced at Kayson but remained silent. Kayson stuck out his tongue playfully, heading toward the door. "Boss, will you be living alone or will Mr. Maguire be joining you?"<br /> <br /> Without looking up, Clayton responded, "It'll be me and my wife."<br /> <br /> Chapter 8 Will You Marry Me Instead?<br /> Clayton continued working on the document while Johnny and Kayson stiffened. Johnny, usually collected, also stared at Clayton in disbelief.<br /> <br /> Kayson's mouth hung open. "Y-You and who, Boss?"<br /> <br /> Clayton glanced up at them, answering flatly, "My wife. Do you have a hearing problem?"<br /> <br /> Kayson gaped in shock at Clayton, who kept working, then turned to the equally dumbfounded Johnny.<br /> <br /> Another assistant, Weston Quinn, entered the office. "Mr. Murray, Mr. Nathan Ingram and his daughter are here to see you."<br /> <br /> Clayton didn't look up. "Did they make an appointment?"<br /> <br /> Weston shook his head. "No, but he mentioned Isabella Sorenson. Said you'd know right away."<br /> <br /> Clayton's head snapped up at once. "All right, bring them up."<br /> <br /> Weston was stunned, for he seemed to have caught a glimpse of a smile on Clayton's face.<br /> <br /> However, he blinked and thought his eyes must've been playing tricks. Noticing how Kayson was rooted in his spot, Weston presumed Kayson had been lectured again and hurriedly turned to leave.<br /> <br /> Clayton glimpsed at Kayson. "Why are you still here?"<br /> <br /> Kayson jolted out of his daze, murmuring, "T-This feels too surreal..."<br /> <br /> Clayton glanced at Johnny, who quickly composed himself, clenched his fists, and cleared his throat before saying, "This information is somewhat... unexpected. It's only normal that Kay needs a moment to process it, Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> Johnny then glared at Kayson. "What are you still waiting for? Go get it done."<br /> <br /> Promptly, Kayson exited the room, still looking thunderstruck.<br /> <br /> He had just shut the door when he saw Hendrix Henderson working in the personal assistants' office. "Hens, let me pinch you and see if it hurts!" Kayson reached for Hendrix's handsome face, but Hendrix swatted Kayson's hand away with a folder.<br /> <br /> "Oh, get lost. Pinch yourself." Hendrix scowled. "What's the matter with you this early in the morning? You got scolded again? You were in there for so long."<br /> <br /> Kayson retracted his throbbing hand in a heartbeat. "Ouch, that hurts! So this isn't a dream!"<br /> <br /> Hendrix rolled his eyes, used to how Kayson would act up at least a few times a day.<br /> <br /> All four of Clayton's personal assistants were men. Johnny had been with Clayton the longest and resembled Clayton most, as cold and aloof. Weston and Hendrix, while mostly reserved, still wore their emotions on their faces from time to time. As for Kayson, he was the lone constant jokester of the group.<br /> <br /> Kayson looked at Hendrix intently. "Do you have any idea what I was tasked with?"<br /> <br /> Hendrix couldn't be bothered to answer, knowing Kayson would continue talking regardless of whether there was any response.<br /> <br /> Kayson's Adam's apple bobbed. "Boss told me to buy him an apartment. He said it's for him and his wife."<br /> <br /> Hendrix's fingers that were flying over the keyboard froze. "Are you still half-asleep? You must've heard wrong, and so absurd at that. Watch yourself, or Johnny will come give you an earful!"<br /> <br /> Kayson snatched the folder from Hendrix and insisted, "It's true! Johnny is in there. He heard it too. Ask him if you don't believe me."<br /> <br /> Before Hendrix could reply, they spotted Weston leading Nathan and Yvonne over. Kayson's eyes widened at the sight of Yvonne while he nudged Hendrix.<br /> <br /> Hendrix looked over, thinking, 'My, isn't she a beauty? What's going on here? Could she be the "wife" that Boss was referring to?'<br /> <br /> Weston was perplexed when he caught sight of the duo's transfixed gazes. 'What's up with those two? Why do they look so stunned?' he wondered.<br /> <br /> Yvonne had been pumped up the moment she stepped into the lobby. The low-key yet lavish interior of Rayson International made the Sorenson Multimedia and the Winslow family's Avid Ventures Real Estate that she was familiar with seem like night and day.<br /> <br /> As she expected, meeting Clayton was no easy feat. Clayton never entertained visitors without appointments despite Nathan making his identity known.<br /> <br /> Luckily, Isabella's name had worked in their favor. 'Looks like he still remembers yesterday's incident. In that case, he will surely recognize me, too. The gown I wore was tailor-made and cost ten times more than Isabella's, practically making me the star of the event. There's no way he'll forget my pretty face,' she mused in glee.<br /> <br /> Yvonne's heart raced involuntarily when she saw Clayton's assistant coming to escort them upstairs. She thought giddily, 'My goodness, Weston's quite the looker. What a pity that he isn't pursuing a celebrity career.'<br /> <br /> They had taken the private elevator up to Clayton's office, where another two astonished yet dashing men stood by the entrance. Yvonne was beyond thrilled on the inside, confident they were amazed by her beauty. 'I knew it. No one will overlook my looks with Isabella absent. See, even Mr. Murray's assistants are mesmerized by me,' she pondered, brimming with confidence and anticipation.<br /> <br /> After Weston knocked on the door, a deep voice rang out from inside. "Come in."<br /> <br /> Weston opened the door and politely gestured for Nathan and Yvonne to enter. "Mr. and Ms. Ingram are here, Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> Clayton looked up, his gaze and voice turning cold as he questioned Weston, "Didn't you say Ms. Isabella Sorenson was here?"<br /> <br /> Weston turned quizzically to Nathan.<br /> <br /> Nathan was all smiles as he stepped forward eagerly. "Hello, Mr. Murray! I'm Nathan Ingram. Isabella's my daughter."<br /> <br /> Clayton did not get up or spare a glance at Nathan's extended hand. "Where's Isabella?"<br /> <br /> Nathan awkwardly retracted his hand. "Ah, Isabella. She's, uh..."<br /> <br /> "Mr. Murray, my sister wanted us to inform you that she can't marry you," Yvonne chimed in gently while staring at Clayton.<br /> <br /> Clayton arched an eyebrow at the father-daughter duo.<br /> <br /> Nathan clenched his fist at his side and said solemnly, "That's right. We've come to explain the situation. Isabella is already engaged, so she can't marry you. But I have anotherโ"<br /> <br /> "Mr. Ingram!" Clayton interrupted frigidly. "Hasn't it already been made clear to everyone yesterday? Isabella called off the engagement with her ex-fiancรฉ and asked me to marry her. If she wants to go back on her word, she'll have to tell me herself!"<br /> <br /> Nathan's face fell as it dawned on him that Clayton was serious about the marriage.<br /> <br /> Yvonne became anxious. "I don't think you understand, Mr. Murray. Her and Zachary's marriage contract is set in stone. It was personally arranged by her mother. Isabella can't call the shots!"<br /> <br /> Clayton leaned back, arms crossed. "Oh? How about me, then? Mr. Ingram, as I said yesterday, nobody has dared to stop me from doing anything I want. Have you forgotten that, or did you choose not to believe me?"<br /> <br /> Clayton stared at Nathan, who instinctively lowered his head in the face of Clayton's overwhelmingly imposing aura. A shiver ran down Nathan's spine. "O-Of course not, Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> "Then what are you doing here now?" Clayton's voice was utterly icy.<br /> <br /> Yvonne boldly met his eyes. "Mr. Murray, I'm Yvonne Ingram, 20 this year, currently a sophomore at the University of Moulmore, majoring in economics and management, and future heiress to Sorenson Multimedia. Will you marry me instead?" She had dressed to the nines to meet him today, convinced that she could catch his fancy. | Endless Stories | 206 | https://facebook.com/61555726498427 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The young billionaire whispered with his hand grabbing Isabella's, who was in a wedding gown.<br /> "Do you need me to help you seek revenge? Whether it's the scumbag who betrayed you or your stepmother, they're nothing in front of me."<br /> Isabella looked at the handsome man in front of her and nodded.<br /> "Marry me, and we'll let them regret it for the rest of their lives."<br /> <br /> Chapter 1 Betrayal<br /> Up on the massive screen, a couple in their birthday suits were all tangled up, getting hot and heavy, and the surround sound was blasting every moan and breath.<br /> <br /> The lady had curves for days and her skin was mad smooth. Then there came a close-up of their faces.<br /> <br /> Isabella Sorenson was struck dumb, staring up at the screen, and she felt like she'd just been punched in the gut. The naked couple were none other than her main squeeze Zachary Winslow and her bestie Scarlett Pearson.<br /> <br /> And no joke, they were both right there next to her because today was supposed to be Isabella and Zachary's engagement party.<br /> <br /> Just a second before, that screen was showing cute throwbacks of Zachary and Isabella growing up together, while some dude was talking all mushy about it. It went from little Isabella at three to Zachary at seven, and then instead of more childhood pictures, the screen switched to the hookup video.<br /> <br /> "Ah!" Scarlett let out a scream and threw her arms around Zachary.<br /> <br /> Now, if anybody was still clueless about who were up on that screen, everything was out in the open. While Isabella was stuck on the spot, Zachary was hugging Scarlett.<br /> <br /> The whole place exploded with whispers and gasps.<br /> <br /> "Yo, ain't that Isabella's ride-or-die?" one guest whispered.<br /> <br /> "Seriously, Ms. Sorenson got played?" chimed in another.<br /> <br /> "Yo, check out that bod!" somebody else hollered.<br /> <br /> "What's going on?" Isabella's father, Nathan Ingram, was freaking out, trying to cover up the screen, but this screen was enormous. Though he was like pushing six feet, he looked straight-up silly trying to block it.<br /> <br /> Terence Winslow, Zachary's father, was beet red but he bolted toward the control room to turn off the screen.<br /> <br /> Scarlett, her eyes leaking like a faucet, hit Isabella with the puppy dog eyes. "Isabella, didn't you pinky swear to let this go? I promised I'd ditch Zachary and leave town the second you're engaged. Why you gotta blast this now? Are you trying to ruin me?"<br /> <br /> When Scarlett clung to Zachary, he looked kinda red-faced but went wide-eyed the second he heard what Scarlett said. Holding her firmly, he asked, "What are you saying, Scarlett? Isabella forced you to leave?"<br /> <br /> It was as if a bomb had detonated within Isabella's mind, leaving her stunned and disoriented. She stared blankly at Zachary, her childhood sweetheart. Ever since she could remember, Isabella had made up her mind to spend the rest of her life with Zachary.<br /> <br /> 'When did he and Scarlett become a thing? And when did I ever agree not to pursue this matter? What's going on here? What are they talking about?' Isabelle wondered.<br /> <br /> "How could you be so vicious, setting up your own fiancรฉ and best friend?" Zachary's sister, Megan Winslow, shoved Isabella on the shoulder.<br /> <br /> Isabella, in a daze, didn't see that coming and staggered backward until she ended up right beside Nathan.<br /> <br /> Nathan was filled with fury. Raising his hand, he slapped her in the face. "Look at what you've done! You've brought disgrace upon both our families!"<br /> <br /> Before Isabella could even regain her balance, she was knocked to the ground by the slap. Zachary grew anxious and instinctively wanted to help her up, but Scarlett tightened her grip on his arm.<br /> <br /> Isabella turned and caught a glance of the smugness in Scarlett's eyes.<br /> <br /> "How can you hit your child? Come on, get up, Isabella." A voice was heard as a pair of hands helped Isabella to her feet.<br /> <br /> Terence sighed, "Isabella, don't blame your father. What you did was really out of line."<br /> <br /> Lorelai Winslow, Zachary's mother, pointed at Scarlett and said, "Where did you come from? You must have seduced my son. Get out of here! I'll never let you become part of our family!"<br /> <br /> Scarlett hid behind Zachary like a scared puppy.<br /> <br /> Zachary positioned himself protectively in front of Scarlett, his voice firm as he addressed his mother. "Mom, don't blame Scarlett. Isabella, she's your best friend. You can't push her to the brink like this!"<br /> <br /> With Terence's support, Isabella finally got back to her feet. A solitary tear traced its path down her cheek. As she gazed up at Zachary, the man she had loved for most of her life, she realized he had become a stranger in the blink of an eye.<br /> <br /> 'Scarlett's supposed to be my best friend. He knows that. They play me and now it's my bad?' she thought.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, I can't even with you. Zach, how can you tie the knot with her? After you're hitched, who knows what stories she'll spin? Can't trust her. Not one bit!" Megan was throwing shade at Isabella before turning to Zachary, all concerned.<br /> <br /> Megan had been in the same class as Isabella back in high school, but they never really hit it off. Megan always teamed up with Yvonne Ingram to give Isabella a hard time. Plus, Megan detested the idea of Isabella becoming part of her family.<br /> <br /> "Zip it! Isabella is the eldest daughter of the esteemed Sorenson family. And who's that chick? Does she possess the same standing as Isabella? How could the Winslow family be cool with letting just anyone in?" Lorelai snapped off, not realizing she was pretty loud.<br /> <br /> Lorelai wasn't Isabella's number one fan, but she was all about that social ladder. Having Isabella marry in was like a major level-up for Zachary. No other high-class family had a daughter that could touch Isabella's status. Plus, Isabella was the kind of person one could sway pretty easy.<br /> <br /> So yeah, Lorelai had to make it crystal clearโthey couldn't let Isabella slip away.<br /> <br /> At first, Isabella kind of felt thankful to her future mother-in-law for stepping up, but then it hit her why she really did it.<br /> <br /> "Yes! Isabella, you're the eldest daughter of the Sorenson family. You should consider the reputations of the Sorenson family, the Ingram family, and the Winslow family before doing this!" Yvonne chimed in, looking all stressed.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, you've just crushed your dad. His heart's in pieces," Winona said, sounding all sweet but sad.<br /> <br /> Winona and Yvonne dropping those lines just made Nathan and Terence pull grumpier faces. 'She's gotta grow up. Can't be airing our dirty laundry like this!' they thought.<br /> <br /> Chapter 2 Proposal<br /> Isabella looked at the people around her.<br /> <br /> Her father, Nathan, was boiling mad.<br /> <br /> Her stepmother, Winona, and her half-sister, Yvonne, were getting a kick out of the drama.<br /> <br /> Her future father-in-law Terence was just shaking his head, and future mother-in-law Lorelai was cringing.<br /> <br /> Her would-be sister-in-law Megan was glaring holes through her.<br /> <br /> Her fiancรฉ, Zachary, didn't know what to do. In his arms was the pitiful woman, Scarlett, who was once her best friend.<br /> <br /> These folks were Isabella's whole world. And just like that, the world flipped, leaving Isabella as the one everyone was pointing fingers at.<br /> <br /> Isabella brushed away the tears and said lightly, "I hereby announce that Zachary Winslow and Isabella Sorenson's marriage contract has been canceled. We have nothing to do with each other from now on. I wish you happiness!" Then she bounced off the stage.<br /> <br /> Her dad Nathan jumped in, "Hold up, you think it's just up to you? You and Zachary were a done deal before you were even a twinkle. Don't even try to ditch this without my say-so!" Nathan had always been tough on Isabella, mostly because having Isabella around was a constant reminder that he was kind of a live-in son-in-law and his kids had to take their mom's last name. Big-time embarrassment for a guy who made it big.<br /> <br /> "And Isabella, cool it, will ya? Zachary messed up, and we'll make him say sorry. This marriage thing wasn't just your call, it's our families' deal. Don't go and have a meltdown. I got your back," Terence tried to smooth things over.<br /> <br /> Then he whirled around and snapped at Zachary, "Zachary! Drop that girl already!"<br /> <br /> Zachary looked like he didn't know what hit him.<br /> <br /> Scarlett, all tears and drama, shoved Zachary away. "Go after Isabella, Zachary. My bad, it's all on me. I'm no match for Isabella. I'm sorry, Isabella. Forgive me, okay? Don't go."<br /> <br /> Zachary just stood there, silent as a ghost.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, hold it! Are you deaf?" Nathan was beside himself with rage. He thought, 'She's always done what I said, like a perfect little robot. Why's she ignoring orders today?'<br /> <br /> Isabella stopped cold, her hands balled into fists so tight they hurt. She spun around to face Nathan.<br /> <br /> Now Nathan got real. "Come on, it's nothing. Why you making a big deal? Zachary and his folks are cool now. What more do you need? Who else would deal with your drama? You gotta see where your bread's buttered!"<br /> <br /> Isabella just felt this chill and said real slow, "He deserves better than me. I'll find someone else, no biggie."<br /> <br /> Nathan lost it, "Who else would even look at you?"<br /> <br /> But Isabella, she didn't even flinch. Shoulders back, head high, she walked right out the door.<br /> <br /> The crowd was eating up the drama like it was prime-time TV.<br /> <br /> Zachary and Isabella's engagement was like the hot gossip among the rich folks. Their families were tight, and with Isabella and Zachary set to tie the knot, the business was booming.<br /> <br /> The engagement party was just for show. They were heading for the altar anyway. But then, the plot thickened like in a soap opera.<br /> <br /> Zachary did Isabella dirty with her own bestie. Feeling burned, Isabella put them on blast right there in front of everyone.<br /> <br /> Instead of feeling sorry for her, people were ragging on Isabella. She was pretty shaken up when she realized that nobody seemed to care about her side of the story. But could she really get mad when her own dad dissed her too?<br /> <br /> Isabella stepped down from the stage and nearly took a spill in her killer heels. Just in time, one guy reached out and saved her from a faceplant.<br /> <br /> "Thanks," Isabella mumbled, looking down.<br /> <br /> A chill voice came from up top, "Watch your step."<br /> <br /> Isabella regained her balance, raised her head, and met a pair of deep, calm eyes. She was momentarily stunned, charmed by the handsome face before her. This guy was something elseโstrong brows, dark blue eyes, the works. He was all smiles and chill vibes.<br /> <br /> She took a breath and laid it all out there, completely honest. "Hi! Are you single?"<br /> <br /> He was stunned but nodded.<br /> <br /> Ignoring the crowd's shocked gasps, Isabella was like, "I'm Isabella Sorenson, 22, still in college at University of Moulmore. I have 40% shares in Sorenson Multimedia and will inherit all the inheritance left by my granddad and mom when I turn 25. But for now, I'm penniless. I need to marry someone. You in?"<br /> <br /> Isabella locked eyes with the guy. She was ticked off for sure, but she didn't give a flip. Her life's been no cakewalk. She fell hard for Zachary, and he didn't even say 'my bad' for stabbing her in the back.<br /> <br /> Her mom's parting advice to Isabella was to play it cool, to roll with the punches. For years, she put up with the drama and what'd she get? Zilch, just a slap in the face and zero backup.<br /> <br /> Isabella thought, 'I'd rather throw the baby out with the bathwater at this point. They're all drooling over my wealth and gearing up to rip me off, right? Fine! I'll marry someone random and not give them a dime!'<br /> <br /> Then, like clockwork, someone in the peanut gallery was like, "Holy cow! Did Isabella just lose it? What's she yapping about now? Poor Zachary."<br /> <br /> "Totally shameless! Just grabs a guy and pops the question? And after Zachary's folks bent over backwards to get her to forgive him!" added another voice.<br /> <br /> Chapter 3 It Is Him<br /> Isabella stood next to the stage, and everybody caught every word she said. Nathan, Terence, and the crowd beelined to her.<br /> <br /> "Isabella Sorenson! Have you flipped your lid?" Nathan's face was all red.<br /> <br /> "No kidding! What's that even mean?" Winona added, looking all shook up.<br /> <br /> "Are you crazy? You're practically giving away your assets by doing this!" Lorelai was devastated.<br /> <br /> Isabella completely ignored the people behind her and focused on the man before her. "Sir, do you hear me? Marry me, and you will have a fortune in three years. It's a bargain."<br /> <br /> The man's clear gaze met hers, and he chuckled. "You know, guys usually do the proposing." His voice was low and sexy.<br /> <br /> Isabella was speechless, the crowd zipped it for a hot second, then split their sides laughing. They figured he ditched her.<br /> <br /> Nathan almost couldn't resist the urge to storm forward and kick Isabella. "Isabella! Get back here right now!"<br /> <br /> The man's low voice sounded right after Nathan finished his sentence. "I'll marry you."<br /> <br /> Complete silence ensued.<br /> <br /> "My name is Clayton Murray. I'm 28 years old and single. I work at Rayson International. Ms. Isabella Sorenson, will you marry me?" Clayton fixed his gaze upon Isabella.<br /> <br /> Tears fell from Isabella's big eyes. "Thank you! Yes, I will!"<br /> <br /> Inside, she's throwing high fives to luck. Finally, she could breathe. Didn't matter who he was as long as she was pulling herself out of the quicksand.<br /> <br /> And just like that, the crowd went wild.<br /> <br /> "Say what? That's Clayton Murray from Rayson International?" someone gasped.<br /> <br /> "Whoa, the legendary second son of the Murray family?" someone else hollered.<br /> <br /> "No way! I heard Clayton doesn't mix with ladies. Could this be a fake?" somebody wondered.<br /> <br /> "Bummer. Mr. Murray's like a ghostโnever seen in public or snapping selfies. How can we even know if it's really him?" another person pitched in.<br /> <br /> "He looks legit. I mean, who would have the guts to fake being Mr. Murray? Plus, dude's got charmโI hear the real Clayton's a looker," came a comment from the crowd.<br /> <br /> Isabella dried her eyes and spun around to face the stage crowd. "Just to be clearโZachary and I are done. We're out of each other's lives. Next up, I'm marryingโ"<br /> <br /> She had to check with Clayton because she blanked on his name.<br /> <br /> "Clayton." He gave her a small grin.<br /> <br /> "Yeah, Clayton!" Isabella said, staring them down without a wince.<br /> <br /> Nathan boomed, "Hold up; you're the Clayton Murray?"<br /> <br /> Clayton just gave a cool nod. "That's me."<br /> <br /> Terence's expression darkened. He glared at Zachary and Scarlett, thinking, 'It's all this little punk's fault!'<br /> <br /> Megan and Yvonne were stunned. 'How's he so drop-dead gorgeous?' they wondered incredulously.<br /> <br /> Clayton swept his glance across the stage. "You all must be Isabella's family. Sorry for taking the liberty to announce our marriage in this way today. I'll pay you a visit someday."<br /> <br /> After saying that, he turned around and linked arms with Isabella, his tone gentle as he spoke to her. "Let's go. What's going on here is none of our business."<br /> <br /> "Mr. Murray, don't be fooled by Isabella! Over the years, she has been a nuisance, trying all means to curry favor with Zach just to get married to him. A woman even Zach has abandoned doesn't deserve you!" Megan shouted eagerly. ''I won't let Isabella have such an excellent man all to herself! I'm better than her. Mr. Murray should marry me. Isabella is nothing compared to me!' she thought.<br /> <br /> "Yes, Mr. Murray. Please wait! Isabella hasn't gotten my dad's permission." Yvonne's soft voice was filled with anxiety. She wasn't as foolish and reckless as Megan, but she, too, wanted Clayton to herself. 'Everyone will think Clayton and Isabella are engaged if they leave like this. I won't allow this! Such an outstanding man should be mine,' she mused.<br /> <br /> "Dad, say something! How can you let Isabella leave like this? Mr. Winslow hasn't agreed to cancel the engagement yet!" Yvonne urged.<br /> <br /> Nathan met his beloved daughter's gaze and cleared his throat. "Isabella! Come back!"<br /> <br /> Terence and Lorelai exchanged glances before the latter shouted, "Isabella, stop messing around. Come back and let's talk things out."<br /> <br /> Isabella tightened her fists, and Clayton patted her on the arm as reassurance.<br /> <br /> He stopped, turned around, and glanced at the people on the stage. "Thank you, Mr. Zachary Winslow, for falling in love with someone else and giving Isabella to me."<br /> <br /> Everyone, including Isabella, looked at Clayton in surprise.<br /> <br /> Gazing at Clayton's side profile, Isabella thought, 'I'm so lucky today. This random man that I chose supports me without hesitation.'<br /> <br /> Clayton then looked at Nathan. "Mr. Ingram, do you have a problem with your daughter marrying me?"<br /> <br /> His voice was gentle and calm, but his domineering aura made Nathan flinch.<br /> <br /> "Zachary, my stomach hurts." An anguished voice rang out at that moment. Scarlett, grabbing Zachary, held her stomach and bent over in pain.<br /> <br /> "Scarlett, what's wrong?" The anxiety and concern in Zachary's voice were obvious.<br /> <br /> Isabella's gaze dimmed, and her heart ached when she saw how much Zachary cared for Scarlett. Lorelai and Terence looked at Scarlett furiously.<br /> <br /> Scarlett admitted timidly, "I-I have been pregnant for two months."<br /> <br /> "What? A-Are you pregnant with Zachary's child?" Lorelai was in shock.<br /> <br /> Scarlett nodded in pain. "Zachary, my stomach hurts."<br /> <br /> Zachary panicked and said, "T-Then, what should we do?" He didn't expect Scarlett to be pregnant. He looked at Isabella below the stage and averted his gaze upon noticing her tear-filled eyes.<br /> <br /> Chapter 4 Conspiracy<br /> "What are you still standing around for? Quick, get her to the hospital. The child's safety comes first," Lorelai said urgently, placing her future grandchild's well-being above all else.<br /> <br /> Clayton covered his mouth and stifled a chuckle. "Even in this situation, you still want your daughter to marry into a family like this, Mr. Ingram? What exactly do you hope to gain from the Winslow family?"<br /> <br /> His words caused a visible shift in everyone's expression.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Nathan's expression was grim.<br /> <br /> Marrying Isabella to Zachary was a strategic move for both families. However, if Clayton was willing to wed Isabella, he would become Nathan's son-in-law, with Rayson International as Nathan's backing.<br /> <br /> The value of one hundred Avid Ventures Real Estate paled in comparison to Rayson International. In the face of years of friendship and mutual benefits, Nathan was torn between loyalty and opportunity. He was a businessman, and he knew what he wanted.<br /> <br /> Clayton saw the calculative glint in Nathan's eyes, turned to Isabella, and softly inquired, "Shall we go?"<br /> <br /> Isabella tore her eyes away from Zachary and Scarlett, nodding gently.<br /> <br /> She visited the graves of her granddad and mother, George and Irina Sorenson, tenderly wiping their photos clean with a tissue.<br /> <br /> "I'm sorry, Granddad, Mom. Zachary and I are no longer together. Our marriage won't be happening," she murmured.<br /> <br /> Caressing Irina's photo on the tombstone, she couldn't control her tears. "I've tried to heed your advice, Mom, enduring everything. But now, I'm at my wit's end. I'm only 22 years old, still too young to take over the company with my current ability," she confessed.<br /> <br /> "I thought things would be fine once I got married, but now..." Isabella muffled her sobs with her hand, her body trembling as she knelt before the tombstone, curled into a small ball of grief.<br /> <br /> Since Irina's passing, Isabella had learned to endure silently through countless trials, enduring disdain from Nathan, Winona, and Yvonne. Growing up in a home that no longer felt like hers was a constant struggle, yet she clung to the hope that marrying Zachary would bring her freedom. She believed that everything would soon be fine.<br /> <br /> When Nathan told her about the engagement party that was about to be held, Isabella was overjoyed. They had planned to get married after her university graduation the following year, and once that happened, she'd finally be free.<br /> <br /> Zachary was the man she loved dearly, and she believed the union arranged by George and Irina must be the best course. After all, Zachary was the guardian angel George and Irina had chosen for her.<br /> <br /> Throughout her childhood, Zachary had been her constant companion, treating her with great care.<br /> <br /> George passed away when Isabella was just eight years old, followed by Irina when Isabella turned ten, enveloping her world in hues of gray.<br /> <br /> When Isabella turned twelve, Zachary left for his studies abroad.<br /> <br /> Tearfully, Isabella clung to his hand, reluctant to let him go, fearful of losing the sole connection she had left to George and Irina.<br /> <br /> She vividly recalled Zachary's promise as he held her hand and said, "Isabella, wait for me. I will come back and marry you when I'm grown up." Those words echoed constantly in her mind.<br /> <br /> Throughout the years, Isabella dedicated herself entirely to Zachary. She nurtured their relationship meticulously, treasuring their brief annual reunions, and worked tirelessly to mold herself into the person he admired, adapting to his preferences.<br /> <br /> Despite enduring ridicule, sarcasm, and insults from Megan and Yvonne, she clung to the belief that everything would be fine after she married Zachary.<br /> <br /> Marrying Zachary had been Isabella's primary motivation and ultimate goal throughout those years. Every future scenario she envisioned concluded with her union with Zachary.<br /> <br /> She firmly believed that marrying him would breathe new life into her existence, heralding a fresh chapter and a brighter future.<br /> <br /> Whenever she faced punishment and was locked in a dark room, whenever she suffered from hunger, whenever she faced difficulties, the mere thought of that envisioned future fueled her with boundless courage.<br /> <br /> Alas, that hope was shattered. The day she had dreamed of would never materialize. The envisioned future dissolved, leaving behind a shattered world. Isabella felt as though her heart had been torn from her chest, leaving behind an agonizing void.<br /> <br /> After a long while of weeping silently, Isabella raised her head, wiping away tears with trembling hands, and pledged, "Granddad, Mom, from now on, I'll live for myself. I'll do my best to not let you down." Despite the pain, she knew that life must persist, regardless of the circumstances.<br /> <br /> As Isabella left the cemetery, the sun had already descended below the horizon.<br /> <br /> Clayton's car waited silently by the gate, catching Isabella off guard. Stepping out of the vehicle, Clayton opened the passenger seat door for her. She said in a low voice as she settled into the seat, "Thank you."<br /> <br /> Clayton got back in the car and glanced at Isabella. Her eyes and nose were red, and she looked exhausted. "Let's find a place for you to rest," Clayton suggested.<br /> <br /> Isabella shook her head, recognizing the inevitability of confronting what lay ahead. "Mr. Murray, thanks for your help today," she croaked, her voice strained from emotion.<br /> <br /> Clayton started the car and asked, "Where do you want to go?"<br /> <br /> "Could you please drive me home?" Isabella requested softly.<br /> <br /> After confirming the address, Clayton fell into silence as Isabella leaned against the window, closing her eyes for the journey home.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, at the Ingram residence, Nathan, Winona, and Yvonne sat facing each other on the couch in solemn silence.<br /> <br /> Breaking the silence, Yvonne implored, "Dad, you can't allow Isabella to marry Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> Nathan, having deliberated the matter during his return journey, felt a disquieting unease despite acknowledging the potential benefits of Isabella's union with Clayton. When pressed by Yvonne, he couldn't help but raise his gaze to meet hers, questioning, "Why?"<br /> <br /> Yvonne hesitated, not knowing what to say, thinking, 'I can't say I should be the one to marry Mr. Murray, right?' She glanced at Winona.<br /> <br /> Winona, pouring a cup of coffee for Nathan, said with composure, "Nate, it's widely known that Isabella and Zachary have been engaged to each other since childhood. Considering her background, it's not suitable for her to wed into the Murray family. Won't they look down on her?"<br /> <br /> Chapter 5 Stirring Up Trouble<br /> Nathan furrowed his brow in response, stating, "That's her decision to make. If she chooses to marry Mr. Murray, and if the Murrays look down on her, she only has herself to blame."<br /> <br /> Winona exchanged a meaningful glance with Yvonne before continuing, "While that may be true, she's still your daughter. If there's talk about her outside, it inevitably reflects on us as well. That's not good."<br /> <br /> Winona looked up at Nathan, who listened intently. "I'm not her biological mother, so I have no authority to discipline her," she began. "As you can see, she rarely communicates with us these years and has her own ideas. What happened today was saddening. She humiliated you in front of everyone. It's one thing for her to disrespect me over the years, but the way she treated you today was unacceptable. Despite my efforts, she only acknowledges Irina as her mother, thinking that we owe her."<br /> <br /> Tears welled up in Winona's eyes as she sniffled. "I know what you're thinking. A marriage of convenience with the Murray family will benefit the company greatly. However, if Isabella doesn't stand by you, then..."<br /> <br /> Her words trailed off, but her meaning was clear.<br /> <br /> Yvonne's gaze flickered as she inwardly praised her mother's wisdom. "Exactly, Dad. We can't squander resources. Even if Isabella married into the Winslow family, there's no guaranteeing she'll put in a good word for you. Your partnership with Mr. Winslow has been smooth-sailing, and that's based on your friendship with him, not Isabella's involvement," Yvonne chimed in.<br /> <br /> Nathan suddenly realized what had been bothering him. Isabella's defiance had caught him off guard. He desired a compliant daughter, not one with her own convictions. He glanced at them, took a sip of coffee, and asked in a deep voice, "So, what do you guys suggest?"<br /> <br /> Winona and Yvonne exchanged a glance. Winona gently proposed, "Nate, we can't trust Isabella, but we can rely on Yvonne. She's our biological daughter."<br /> <br /> Nathan's focus shifted to Yvonne, who appeared bashful. "Mom, we're talking about Isabella. Why bring me up?"<br /> <br /> Winona's expression grew stern. "Yvonne, I'm serious. You're our daughter. You can't just enjoy the privileges your father provides. You must share his burden, understand?" she chided.<br /> <br /> Yvonne straightened up, raising her hand in a playful gesture. "Yes, Mom, I understand. I'll be there for Dad whenever he needs me," she vowed with a smile.<br /> <br /> Nathan was reassured by her promise. Nodding, he remarked, "Winona, you've raised her well. Isabella, on the other hand, is truly disappointing."<br /> <br /> Winona smiled faintly, "My hands are tied. Anything I say as her stepmother could easily be misinterpreted as having ulterior motives."<br /> <br /> "Hmph! It's because she doesn't know what's best for her," Nathan snorted. Then, he frowned. "Are you suggesting that Yvonne should marry into the Murray family?"<br /> <br /> Winona nodded, affirming, "We can trust Yvonne. She's our sweetheart."<br /> <br /> "But Yvonne is only twenty," Nathan voiced his concern. He had always cherished Yvonne and had never contemplated marrying her off at such a young age.<br /> <br /> Knowing that he was wavering, Winona smiled reassuringly, "So what if she's twenty? We can arrange for the marriage now and wait for Yvonne to graduate from university before holding the wedding. That doesn't make much difference."<br /> <br /> Nathan cradled his forehead, contemplating her proposal.<br /> <br /> "Dad, if it benefits our family, I'm in. Trust me; I'll try my best to ensure our family's prosperity," Yvonne declared resolutely, biting her lip as if determined to sacrifice herself for the family.<br /> <br /> Nathan eventually nodded in agreement, which put a smile on Yvonne's face.<br /> <br /> However, Winona intervened softly, "But, Nate, we're not acquainted with Mr. Murray. Perhaps we'll need Isabella to introduce us?"<br /> <br /> Yvonne was taken aback, immediately objecting, "Why should she introduce us? As we saw today, she asked Mr. Murray to marry her on the spur of the moment. Mr. Murray agreed as soon as she mentioned it. So, why can't we approach him directly?"<br /> <br /> Yvonne considered herself superior to Isabella. She mused inwardly, 'In terms of appearance and figure, I'm much better than that country bumpkin. Why should Isabella, who's inferior to me, get to marry such a perfect man? Since Mr. Murray agreed to Isabella's proposal, he'd agree to mine too.'<br /> <br /> Nathan thought her words made sense and pondered for a moment. "Well, how about we pay a visit to Rayson International tomorrow?"<br /> <br /> Outside the Ingram residence, Clayton parked the car and glanced at Isabella who was already asleep in the passenger seat.<br /> <br /> It should've been her engagement party that day. She wore a white knee-length dress, her pinned-up hair already disheveled, with several strands hanging down. Her delicate face appeared particularly pale. She didn't change much since childhood. As she jumped down from the stage, Clayton was struck by the pain and resolution reflected in her eyes.<br /> <br /> 'It seems like she's been struggling all these years,' Clayton thought, tenderly tucking her hair behind her ear.<br /> <br /> Isabella's long lashes quivered slightly as she stirred awake at his touch, momentarily confused upon seeing Clayton.<br /> <br /> "Are you awake?" Clayton asked gently.<br /> <br /> Isabella blinked, and the memories of what happened flooded back. She took a deep breath, attempting to quell the overwhelming pain pulsating through her veins.<br /> <br /> Gazing toward the Ingram residence, she was enveloped by a chilling coldness. This place had been her home, yet since the age of ten, she felt like a superfluous presence there.<br /> <br /> Previously, Zachary's presence had somewhat eased the void left by George and Irina. However, at present, she was all alone.<br /> <br /> The gate of the residence was like a gaping maw, ready to devour her and the legacy of George and Irina at any moment.<br /> <br /> "Do you need me to go in there with you?" Clayton asked softly, observing Isabella, who was staring into space.<br /> <br /> Isabella slowly shook her head. Staring directly ahead, she spoke to Clayton in a composed but distant manner. "Mr. Murray, can we make a deal? I need to leave this place now, but they won't allow me to rent a house independently. Our school's in the middle of renovations, and once the new semester kicks off, students like us who are in the senior year will have to find internship positions on our own, and we can no longer live in dorms. The only option left for me is to get married. Once I get married, I can leave for good."<br /> <br /> Clayton tightened his grip on the steering wheel.<br /> <br /> "I propose we marry, and I'll move into your residence. I'll reside there and pay you rent. If I face financial constraints, I'll provide you with a promissory note. I've mentioned that I'll inherit some assets after turning twenty-five. At that point, I'll settle all my debts to you. Then, we'll proceed with divorce proceedings, and I'll allocate half of the inheritance I receive to you as compensation for marrying me now," Isabella explained.<br /> <br /> Chapter 6 Realization<br /> Isabella declared resolutely, "I will draft a formal agreement stating our rights and responsibilities. Our union will only be a sham marriage. Should you happen to develop feelings for someone else during this time, I ask that you wait until we've been married for at least a year before seeking a divorce. I assure you, my commitment to our arrangement stands firm, and you will receive every cent of your compensation as promised. With this agreement in place, we can ensure fairness for both parties."<br /> <br /> Noticing a pen and paper tucked under the armrest, Isabella grabbed them, jotting down her phone number before passing it to Clayton. "Here is my contact information. Take your time to ponder my proposal; however, I expect your response within three days. Do not delay." With that, Isabella exited the car and left, leaving Clayton staring at the note in his hand blankly.<br /> <br /> Her decisiveness left Clayton momentarily stunned.<br /> <br /> He couldn't help chuckling as he watched Isabella walk away in determined strides. "Isabella, I'm back. I'll stand by your side no matter what you do," Clayton murmured, thinking, 'I'll let her do whatever she wants. Whatever happens, I'll clean up after her.' Even if she didn't know who he was, Nathan did. Nathan'd never dare to lay a hand on her.<br /> <br /> *****<br /> <br /> Dinner was served in a peaceful ambiance.<br /> <br /> "Ms. Sorenson, you've returned." One of the maids, Elsie Anderson, was surprised to see Isabella.<br /> <br /> Isabella paid no heed to the mix of surprise and disdain the other three were displaying. "Dad, Winona." Dipping her head, she greeted them before settling at the table, accepting the soup bowl offered by Elsie.<br /> <br /> She hadn't eaten anything since morning and was starving. Clayton had suggested taking her to dinner earlier, but she had declined. She would have to face this sooner or later, so why delay it?<br /> <br /> "Isabella, why are you only back now? Mom and Dad were too worried to eat," Yvonne said, sharing a meaningful glance with Winona.<br /> <br /> Nathan's expression darkened.<br /> <br /> Isabella finished her soup and put down the spoon. Disregarding the cold leftovers on the table, she explained, "I went to visit Grandpa and Mom. I needed to inform them that Zachary and I have called off our engagement."<br /> <br /> Nathan sneered, "And they didn't reprimand you?"<br /> <br /> Isabella lowered her head in silence.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, you've pissed your dad off today. How could you embarrass him in front of everyone?" Winona said softly.<br /> <br /> "Mom, don't blame Isabella. Remember, she's the eldest daughter of the Sorenson family and the designated heiress of Sorenson Multimedia. Dad wouldn't hold it against her. Who knows what those shareholders might say if he did?" Yvonne interjected, stealing glances at Nathan.<br /> <br /> Nathan's expression darkened further as his gaze bore into Isabella.<br /> <br /> Isabella quietly ate the food Elsie gave her. She had gotten used to such drama. Winona and Yvonne always sowed discord between her and Nathan. Then, endless insults would ensue that would sometimes escalate into physical abuse.<br /> <br /> She was a Sorenson, and her father was an Ingram. That was one of her sins.<br /> <br /> Nathan didn't lose his temper. Instead, he snorted derisively before leaving the dining room.<br /> <br /> Winona shot a glance and Yvonne and Isabella before following Nathan out.<br /> <br /> As soon as her parents left, Yvonne abandoned her facade of dignity. Casting a scornful glance at Isabella, who remained meek and reserved as always, she said sarcastically, "I'm amazed you still have the nerve to stay alive. If I were in your shoes, I'd have put an end to it all by now. Maybe flung myself into a river or hung myself. Anything's better than living like this. Your fiancรฉ despises you and cheats on you with your closest friend. Aren't you devastated? How do you even have an appetite?"<br /> <br /> After taking the final bite, Isabella met Yvonne's gaze with indifference. "I've found someone willing to wed me."<br /> <br /> Yvonne scoffed, "Wake up, will you? Do you honestly believe you're the eldest daughter of the Sorenson family?"<br /> <br /> Isabella merely looked at her coldly. Yvonne often carried herself with elegance and composure in public. Isabella was perhaps the only person who had seen her true colors.<br /> <br /> She thought, 'Does Yvonne ever get tired of pretending? I pretend to be indifferent and weak because Winona and Yvonne forced me to, but no one's forcing Yvonne. So why is she pretending?'<br /> <br /> "What're you looking at?" Yvonne bellowed at Isabella. Isabella's charming face never failed to anger her. 'Why does she get all the luck? A wealthy grandfather and mother, and even that envy-inducing face!' she seethed inwardly.<br /> <br /> Yvonne sent her plate hurtling toward Isabella.<br /> <br /> Isabella rose from her seat, narrowly dodging the plate as it crashed to the ground.<br /> <br /> "What's wrong?" Winona asked loudly.<br /> <br /> Yvonne glared at Isabella.<br /> <br /> Normally, Isabella would've quickly apologized to Winona, saying she had accidentally broken the plate. Yet, today, Isabella simply turned to face the incensed Yvonne in silence.<br /> <br /> Elsie interjected fearfully, "Mrs. Ingram, I'm sorry; I accidentally dropped a plate."<br /> <br /> Both Isabella and Yvonne looked at Elsie at the same time.<br /> <br /> Yvonne shot daggers at Elsie before exiting the dining room.<br /> <br /> Elsie tugged at Isabella's arm, whispering, "Ms. Sorenson, just endure it. This too shall pass."<br /> <br /> Endure. It was a mantra instilled in Isabella since childhood by Elsie and also what her late mother said to her. Today, however, she realized that enduring only made things worse.<br /> <br /> Isabella hurried to the bathroom, changing out of the dress and cleansing herself of the shame it carried. She then returned to her room on the second floor, a windowless storeroom bereft of sunlight year-round. She even had to use the maid's bathroom. Besides Elsie, no one would regard her as the family's eldest daughter.<br /> <br /> The luxurious room that her grandfather and mother decorated was handed over to Yvonne just a month after Winona and Yvonne's arrival. Isabella's living quarters changed each time she made a "mistake" until she found herself relegated to the storeroom, a decision that satisfied Winona and Yvonne at last.<br /> <br /> This was the consequence of endurance.<br /> <br /> Isabella curled up on the cramped bed, the air stifling and hot. The wind could only filter in when the door was opened. Yet, she didn't want to move, let alone open the door.<br /> <br /> Isabella closed her eyes, the events of the day replaying in her mind. She watched them unfold once more like a distant observer.<br /> <br /> The moment Zachary started dating Scarlett remained a mystery to her.<br /> <br /> Since Zachary's return from abroad, he started work in his family's company, leaving little opportunity for him and Isabella to spend time together. Isabella was never one to inconvenience others, so she never interrupted Zachary's work. Understanding his desire for a compliant girlfriend, she made every effort to fit that mold.<br /> <br /> Ever since Zachary returned, the two families celebrated festivals together, which Isabella enjoyed.<br /> <br /> Zachary didn't treat her poorly or particularly well, but he and Yvonne were tight. They got along well, even though Zachary used to dislike Yvonne as a kid.<br /> <br /> Chapter 7 Truth<br /> Today, Scarlett claimed Isabella had forgiven them, which was nonsense. Isabella didn't know anything about their affair.<br /> <br /> Isabella wondered, 'Why would she say that? Was it to make Zachary turn against me? If that's the case, it's obvious who played the video. However, Scarlett isn't stupid. There are so many ways to let me know, so why did she choose this one? Doing so will only cause her more harm than good. Oh, right, because doing so makes it seem like my handiwork. No one will suspect Scarlett of selling herself out. As for Zachary, he is always on Scarlett's side. He never admitted his mistake or apologized. He kept emphasizing that Scarlett is my good friend and that I should be nice to her. Zachary, am I being nice to her by letting you go? Why do you take everything I do for granted?'<br /> <br /> Isabella's heart ached as she recalled the tender look Zachary reserved for Scarlett.<br /> <br /> Zachary had never looked at her like that before. 'I'm just not worth his affection, huh?' she pondered.<br /> <br /> Lorelai's words hit Isabella like a sudden storm. Throughout the years, Lorelai treated Isabella well. Isabella once believed she was sincere and even vowed to take good care of Lorelai after the marriage.<br /> <br /> However, it turned out that Lorelai valued her social status and assets. That was probably her second original sin.<br /> <br /> Isabella held a significant 40% stake in Sorenson Multimedia, making her the company's largest shareholder. However, because of her youth, all the dividends from this ownership were directed into a trust established by her grandfather, which remained inaccessible until she reached the age of 25. She wouldn't receive her inheritance from her grandfather and mother until that time.<br /> <br /> Today, she finally realized that the Winslow family's acceptance of her wasn't based on genuine affection or sympathy for her loss of her mother. It also wasn't due to their acquaintance with her late mother and grandfather either. Instead, it was because of the assets she would eventually possess.<br /> <br /> They were kind to her because of her assets, and cruel to her for the same reason.<br /> <br /> Nathan had always been eyeing the property Isabella could inherit, especially because Yvonne didn't have any. When Isabella turned 18, Nathan deemed her old enough to handle her inheritance. He once pressured her to draft a document pledging half of the property to Yvonne. However, his plan was thwarted when the lawyer and four key company shareholders intervened.<br /> <br /> George and Irina foresaw the possibility of someone coveting the assets and therefore imposed an age restriction of 25. At 18, Isabella didn't have the authority to transfer her future assets.<br /> <br /> Nathan had married into the Sorenson family, so any child he had with Irina must carry the Sorenson name, while offspring from other relationships would not inherit this family name.<br /> <br /> Thus, Isabella was the only heiress of the Sorenson family.<br /> <br /> Furthermore, if Nathan decided to transfer his shares to Yvonne rather than Isabella, the four main investors would pull out their money from Sorenson Multimedia. The company had always been in the hands of the Sorenson family, and it would stay that way.<br /> <br /> If the major investors withdrew their support, the company would collapse, as Nathan's 30% stake alone wouldn't be enough to sustain it. Nathan's family eventually gave up on their plan.<br /> <br /> Instead of trying to butter Isabella up to get their way, they chose to resent her even more. Isabella couldn't help but admire them for that, for they didn't yield in the face of greed.<br /> <br /> Another way to access her wealth was by letting her marry Zachary.<br /> <br /> In this scenario, her property would serve as her dowry, to be shared with the Winslow family upon marriage. Given Isabella's infatuation with Zachary, she would likely agree to this arrangement. Consequently, Nathan collaborated with the Winslow family on various investment and development endeavors in recent years, aiming to reap the maximum benefits in due time.<br /> <br /> "Grandpa, Mom, 25 isn't a safe age either. If I were an idiot, I'd still be an idiot at 25 years old," Isabella murmured.<br /> <br /> Luckily, misfortune wasn't the only thing the heavens bestowed upon her. At least Zachary found his true love. She wondered if that had anything to do with divine intervention.<br /> <br /> Getting out of bed, she used a nearby book to fan herself.<br /> <br /> 'Time to draw up a contract for Clayton. If he's sensible, he'll agree to my terms,' she thought. Isabella needed to move out as soon as possible. She had neither the energy nor the mood to deal with Yvonne and Winona's tricks anymore.<br /> <br /> They wouldn't let her rent a place outside, because that would make it hard for them to control her. Also, that would bring disgrace upon the Sorenson family. The only escape route left was to get married.<br /> <br /> The identity of her partner hardly mattered, as long as he was a true gentleman. She would draft a pact, ensuring her safety and rights were protected. And in return, she would offer him the benefits he rightly deserved, for he would be her savior.<br /> <br /> She needed to find a place to settle down and focus on earning money, aiming to gather 300 thousand dollars within a year to finance her studies in Upria for the next five years. It wasn't much, but she could continue earning while studying.<br /> <br /> Her future needed replanning. This time, she was on her own, and she vowed to protect herself from harm.<br /> <br /> The next morning, Nathan took Yvonne to Rayson International. As they stood outside the towering structure, Yvonne was exhilarated.<br /> <br /> Amidst the bustling heart of the city, the building stood tall and majestic. The employees were in a hurry, but their demeanor radiated confidence and pride unmatched by those of other companies.<br /> <br /> A smile crept onto Yvonne's face as she envisioned herself as the owner of this impressive building and the wife of its esteemed boss, overseeing these elite professionals in the future.<br /> <br /> Clayton accepted the document from his assistant, Johnny Lawton, signing it before instructing, "Get in touch with Kayson and have him find a place for me near University of Moulmore. Something around 1,000 square feet, suitable for two people, and fully equipped with all the essentials."<br /> <br /> Johnny answered, "Okay."<br /> <br /> Seeing that Clayton was reading a contract, Johnny called Kayson.<br /> <br /> After a while, Kayson entered. "Boss, what do you think about Moonlight Apartment near University of Moulmore? It's just a ten-minute stroll from the campus, and boasts a thriving community with all the amenities you could need."<br /> <br /> Clayton thought for a moment, but the name didn't ring a bell. "Okay. Go ahead and purchase a unit."<br /> <br /> Kayson laughed, "Boss, that's our property. You reserved a suite for yourself on the 28th floor. I was wondering why you never brought it up again. Turns out you forgot."<br /> <br /> Johnny glared at him. "Cut the crap and get it sorted already."<br /> <br /> Clayton glanced at Kayson but remained silent. Kayson stuck out his tongue playfully, heading toward the door. "Boss, will you be living alone or will Mr. Maguire be joining you?"<br /> <br /> Without looking up, Clayton responded, "It'll be me and my wife."<br /> <br /> Chapter 8 Will You Marry Me Instead?<br /> Clayton continued working on the document while Johnny and Kayson stiffened. Johnny, usually collected, also stared at Clayton in disbelief.<br /> <br /> Kayson's mouth hung open. "Y-You and who, Boss?"<br /> <br /> Clayton glanced up at them, answering flatly, "My wife. Do you have a hearing problem?"<br /> <br /> Kayson gaped in shock at Clayton, who kept working, then turned to the equally dumbfounded Johnny.<br /> <br /> Another assistant, Weston Quinn, entered the office. "Mr. Murray, Mr. Nathan Ingram and his daughter are here to see you."<br /> <br /> Clayton didn't look up. "Did they make an appointment?"<br /> <br /> Weston shook his head. "No, but he mentioned Isabella Sorenson. Said you'd know right away."<br /> <br /> Clayton's head snapped up at once. "All right, bring them up."<br /> <br /> Weston was stunned, for he seemed to have caught a glimpse of a smile on Clayton's face.<br /> <br /> However, he blinked and thought his eyes must've been playing tricks. Noticing how Kayson was rooted in his spot, Weston presumed Kayson had been lectured again and hurriedly turned to leave.<br /> <br /> Clayton glimpsed at Kayson. "Why are you still here?"<br /> <br /> Kayson jolted out of his daze, murmuring, "T-This feels too surreal..."<br /> <br /> Clayton glanced at Johnny, who quickly composed himself, clenched his fists, and cleared his throat before saying, "This information is somewhat... unexpected. It's only normal that Kay needs a moment to process it, Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> Johnny then glared at Kayson. "What are you still waiting for? Go get it done."<br /> <br /> Promptly, Kayson exited the room, still looking thunderstruck.<br /> <br /> He had just shut the door when he saw Hendrix Henderson working in the personal assistants' office. "Hens, let me pinch you and see if it hurts!" Kayson reached for Hendrix's handsome face, but Hendrix swatted Kayson's hand away with a folder.<br /> <br /> "Oh, get lost. Pinch yourself." Hendrix scowled. "What's the matter with you this early in the morning? You got scolded again? You were in there for so long."<br /> <br /> Kayson retracted his throbbing hand in a heartbeat. "Ouch, that hurts! So this isn't a dream!"<br /> <br /> Hendrix rolled his eyes, used to how Kayson would act up at least a few times a day.<br /> <br /> All four of Clayton's personal assistants were men. Johnny had been with Clayton the longest and resembled Clayton most, as cold and aloof. Weston and Hendrix, while mostly reserved, still wore their emotions on their faces from time to time. As for Kayson, he was the lone constant jokester of the group.<br /> <br /> Kayson looked at Hendrix intently. "Do you have any idea what I was tasked with?"<br /> <br /> Hendrix couldn't be bothered to answer, knowing Kayson would continue talking regardless of whether there was any response.<br /> <br /> Kayson's Adam's apple bobbed. "Boss told me to buy him an apartment. He said it's for him and his wife."<br /> <br /> Hendrix's fingers that were flying over the keyboard froze. "Are you still half-asleep? You must've heard wrong, and so absurd at that. Watch yourself, or Johnny will come give you an earful!"<br /> <br /> Kayson snatched the folder from Hendrix and insisted, "It's true! Johnny is in there. He heard it too. Ask him if you don't believe me."<br /> <br /> Before Hendrix could reply, they spotted Weston leading Nathan and Yvonne over. Kayson's eyes widened at the sight of Yvonne while he nudged Hendrix.<br /> <br /> Hendrix looked over, thinking, 'My, isn't she a beauty? What's going on here? Could she be the "wife" that Boss was referring to?'<br /> <br /> Weston was perplexed when he caught sight of the duo's transfixed gazes. 'What's up with those two? Why do they look so stunned?' he wondered.<br /> <br /> Yvonne had been pumped up the moment she stepped into the lobby. The low-key yet lavish interior of Rayson International made the Sorenson Multimedia and the Winslow family's Avid Ventures Real Estate that she was familiar with seem like night and day.<br /> <br /> As she expected, meeting Clayton was no easy feat. Clayton never entertained visitors without appointments despite Nathan making his identity known.<br /> <br /> Luckily, Isabella's name had worked in their favor. 'Looks like he still remembers yesterday's incident. In that case, he will surely recognize me, too. The gown I wore was tailor-made and cost ten times more than Isabella's, practically making me the star of the event. There's no way he'll forget my pretty face,' she mused in glee.<br /> <br /> Yvonne's heart raced involuntarily when she saw Clayton's assistant coming to escort them upstairs. She thought giddily, 'My goodness, Weston's quite the looker. What a pity that he isn't pursuing a celebrity career.'<br /> <br /> They had taken the private elevator up to Clayton's office, where another two astonished yet dashing men stood by the entrance. Yvonne was beyond thrilled on the inside, confident they were amazed by her beauty. 'I knew it. No one will overlook my looks with Isabella absent. See, even Mr. Murray's assistants are mesmerized by me,' she pondered, brimming with confidence and anticipation.<br /> <br /> After Weston knocked on the door, a deep voice rang out from inside. "Come in."<br /> <br /> Weston opened the door and politely gestured for Nathan and Yvonne to enter. "Mr. and Ms. Ingram are here, Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> Clayton looked up, his gaze and voice turning cold as he questioned Weston, "Didn't you say Ms. Isabella Sorenson was here?"<br /> <br /> Weston turned quizzically to Nathan.<br /> <br /> Nathan was all smiles as he stepped forward eagerly. "Hello, Mr. Murray! I'm Nathan Ingram. Isabella's my daughter."<br /> <br /> Clayton did not get up or spare a glance at Nathan's extended hand. "Where's Isabella?"<br /> <br /> Nathan awkwardly retracted his hand. "Ah, Isabella. She's, uh..."<br /> <br /> "Mr. Murray, my sister wanted us to inform you that she can't marry you," Yvonne chimed in gently while staring at Clayton.<br /> <br /> Clayton arched an eyebrow at the father-daughter duo.<br /> <br /> Nathan clenched his fist at his side and said solemnly, "That's right. We've come to explain the situation. Isabella is already engaged, so she can't marry you. But I have anotherโ"<br /> <br /> "Mr. Ingram!" Clayton interrupted frigidly. "Hasn't it already been made clear to everyone yesterday? Isabella called off the engagement with her ex-fiancรฉ and asked me to marry her. If she wants to go back on her word, she'll have to tell me herself!"<br /> <br /> Nathan's face fell as it dawned on him that Clayton was serious about the marriage.<br /> <br /> Yvonne became anxious. "I don't think you understand, Mr. Murray. Her and Zachary's marriage contract is set in stone. It was personally arranged by her mother. Isabella can't call the shots!"<br /> <br /> Clayton leaned back, arms crossed. "Oh? How about me, then? Mr. Ingram, as I said yesterday, nobody has dared to stop me from doing anything I want. Have you forgotten that, or did you choose not to believe me?"<br /> <br /> Clayton stared at Nathan, who instinctively lowered his head in the face of Clayton's overwhelmingly imposing aura. A shiver ran down Nathan's spine. "O-Of course not, Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> "Then what are you doing here now?" Clayton's voice was utterly icy.<br /> <br /> Yvonne boldly met his eyes. "Mr. Murray, I'm Yvonne Ingram, 20 this year, currently a sophomore at the University of Moulmore, majoring in economics and management, and future heiress to Sorenson Multimedia. Will you marry me instead?" She had dressed to the nines to meet him today, convinced that she could catch his fancy. | Endless Stories | 206 | https://facebook.com/61555726498427 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

The young billionaire whispered with his hand grabbing Isabella's, who was in a wedding gown.<br /> "Do you need me to help you seek revenge? Whether it's the scumbag who betrayed you or your stepmother, they're nothing in front of me."<br /> Isabella looked at the handsome man in front of her and nodded.<br /> "Marry me, and we'll let them regret it for the rest of their lives."<br /> <br /> Chapter 1 Betrayal<br /> Up on the massive screen, a couple in their birthday suits were all tangled up, getting hot and heavy, and the surround sound was blasting every moan and breath.<br /> <br /> The lady had curves for days and her skin was mad smooth. Then there came a close-up of their faces.<br /> <br /> Isabella Sorenson was struck dumb, staring up at the screen, and she felt like she'd just been punched in the gut. The naked couple were none other than her main squeeze Zachary Winslow and her bestie Scarlett Pearson.<br /> <br /> And no joke, they were both right there next to her because today was supposed to be Isabella and Zachary's engagement party.<br /> <br /> Just a second before, that screen was showing cute throwbacks of Zachary and Isabella growing up together, while some dude was talking all mushy about it. It went from little Isabella at three to Zachary at seven, and then instead of more childhood pictures, the screen switched to the hookup video.<br /> <br /> "Ah!" Scarlett let out a scream and threw her arms around Zachary.<br /> <br /> Now, if anybody was still clueless about who were up on that screen, everything was out in the open. While Isabella was stuck on the spot, Zachary was hugging Scarlett.<br /> <br /> The whole place exploded with whispers and gasps.<br /> <br /> "Yo, ain't that Isabella's ride-or-die?" one guest whispered.<br /> <br /> "Seriously, Ms. Sorenson got played?" chimed in another.<br /> <br /> "Yo, check out that bod!" somebody else hollered.<br /> <br /> "What's going on?" Isabella's father, Nathan Ingram, was freaking out, trying to cover up the screen, but this screen was enormous. Though he was like pushing six feet, he looked straight-up silly trying to block it.<br /> <br /> Terence Winslow, Zachary's father, was beet red but he bolted toward the control room to turn off the screen.<br /> <br /> Scarlett, her eyes leaking like a faucet, hit Isabella with the puppy dog eyes. "Isabella, didn't you pinky swear to let this go? I promised I'd ditch Zachary and leave town the second you're engaged. Why you gotta blast this now? Are you trying to ruin me?"<br /> <br /> When Scarlett clung to Zachary, he looked kinda red-faced but went wide-eyed the second he heard what Scarlett said. Holding her firmly, he asked, "What are you saying, Scarlett? Isabella forced you to leave?"<br /> <br /> It was as if a bomb had detonated within Isabella's mind, leaving her stunned and disoriented. She stared blankly at Zachary, her childhood sweetheart. Ever since she could remember, Isabella had made up her mind to spend the rest of her life with Zachary.<br /> <br /> 'When did he and Scarlett become a thing? And when did I ever agree not to pursue this matter? What's going on here? What are they talking about?' Isabelle wondered.<br /> <br /> "How could you be so vicious, setting up your own fiancรฉ and best friend?" Zachary's sister, Megan Winslow, shoved Isabella on the shoulder.<br /> <br /> Isabella, in a daze, didn't see that coming and staggered backward until she ended up right beside Nathan.<br /> <br /> Nathan was filled with fury. Raising his hand, he slapped her in the face. "Look at what you've done! You've brought disgrace upon both our families!"<br /> <br /> Before Isabella could even regain her balance, she was knocked to the ground by the slap. Zachary grew anxious and instinctively wanted to help her up, but Scarlett tightened her grip on his arm.<br /> <br /> Isabella turned and caught a glance of the smugness in Scarlett's eyes.<br /> <br /> "How can you hit your child? Come on, get up, Isabella." A voice was heard as a pair of hands helped Isabella to her feet.<br /> <br /> Terence sighed, "Isabella, don't blame your father. What you did was really out of line."<br /> <br /> Lorelai Winslow, Zachary's mother, pointed at Scarlett and said, "Where did you come from? You must have seduced my son. Get out of here! I'll never let you become part of our family!"<br /> <br /> Scarlett hid behind Zachary like a scared puppy.<br /> <br /> Zachary positioned himself protectively in front of Scarlett, his voice firm as he addressed his mother. "Mom, don't blame Scarlett. Isabella, she's your best friend. You can't push her to the brink like this!"<br /> <br /> With Terence's support, Isabella finally got back to her feet. A solitary tear traced its path down her cheek. As she gazed up at Zachary, the man she had loved for most of her life, she realized he had become a stranger in the blink of an eye.<br /> <br /> 'Scarlett's supposed to be my best friend. He knows that. They play me and now it's my bad?' she thought.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, I can't even with you. Zach, how can you tie the knot with her? After you're hitched, who knows what stories she'll spin? Can't trust her. Not one bit!" Megan was throwing shade at Isabella before turning to Zachary, all concerned.<br /> <br /> Megan had been in the same class as Isabella back in high school, but they never really hit it off. Megan always teamed up with Yvonne Ingram to give Isabella a hard time. Plus, Megan detested the idea of Isabella becoming part of her family.<br /> <br /> "Zip it! Isabella is the eldest daughter of the esteemed Sorenson family. And who's that chick? Does she possess the same standing as Isabella? How could the Winslow family be cool with letting just anyone in?" Lorelai snapped off, not realizing she was pretty loud.<br /> <br /> Lorelai wasn't Isabella's number one fan, but she was all about that social ladder. Having Isabella marry in was like a major level-up for Zachary. No other high-class family had a daughter that could touch Isabella's status. Plus, Isabella was the kind of person one could sway pretty easy.<br /> <br /> So yeah, Lorelai had to make it crystal clearโthey couldn't let Isabella slip away.<br /> <br /> At first, Isabella kind of felt thankful to her future mother-in-law for stepping up, but then it hit her why she really did it.<br /> <br /> "Yes! Isabella, you're the eldest daughter of the Sorenson family. You should consider the reputations of the Sorenson family, the Ingram family, and the Winslow family before doing this!" Yvonne chimed in, looking all stressed.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, you've just crushed your dad. His heart's in pieces," Winona said, sounding all sweet but sad.<br /> <br /> Winona and Yvonne dropping those lines just made Nathan and Terence pull grumpier faces. 'She's gotta grow up. Can't be airing our dirty laundry like this!' they thought.<br /> <br /> Chapter 2 Proposal<br /> Isabella looked at the people around her.<br /> <br /> Her father, Nathan, was boiling mad.<br /> <br /> Her stepmother, Winona, and her half-sister, Yvonne, were getting a kick out of the drama.<br /> <br /> Her future father-in-law Terence was just shaking his head, and future mother-in-law Lorelai was cringing.<br /> <br /> Her would-be sister-in-law Megan was glaring holes through her.<br /> <br /> Her fiancรฉ, Zachary, didn't know what to do. In his arms was the pitiful woman, Scarlett, who was once her best friend.<br /> <br /> These folks were Isabella's whole world. And just like that, the world flipped, leaving Isabella as the one everyone was pointing fingers at.<br /> <br /> Isabella brushed away the tears and said lightly, "I hereby announce that Zachary Winslow and Isabella Sorenson's marriage contract has been canceled. We have nothing to do with each other from now on. I wish you happiness!" Then she bounced off the stage.<br /> <br /> Her dad Nathan jumped in, "Hold up, you think it's just up to you? You and Zachary were a done deal before you were even a twinkle. Don't even try to ditch this without my say-so!" Nathan had always been tough on Isabella, mostly because having Isabella around was a constant reminder that he was kind of a live-in son-in-law and his kids had to take their mom's last name. Big-time embarrassment for a guy who made it big.<br /> <br /> "And Isabella, cool it, will ya? Zachary messed up, and we'll make him say sorry. This marriage thing wasn't just your call, it's our families' deal. Don't go and have a meltdown. I got your back," Terence tried to smooth things over.<br /> <br /> Then he whirled around and snapped at Zachary, "Zachary! Drop that girl already!"<br /> <br /> Zachary looked like he didn't know what hit him.<br /> <br /> Scarlett, all tears and drama, shoved Zachary away. "Go after Isabella, Zachary. My bad, it's all on me. I'm no match for Isabella. I'm sorry, Isabella. Forgive me, okay? Don't go."<br /> <br /> Zachary just stood there, silent as a ghost.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, hold it! Are you deaf?" Nathan was beside himself with rage. He thought, 'She's always done what I said, like a perfect little robot. Why's she ignoring orders today?'<br /> <br /> Isabella stopped cold, her hands balled into fists so tight they hurt. She spun around to face Nathan.<br /> <br /> Now Nathan got real. "Come on, it's nothing. Why you making a big deal? Zachary and his folks are cool now. What more do you need? Who else would deal with your drama? You gotta see where your bread's buttered!"<br /> <br /> Isabella just felt this chill and said real slow, "He deserves better than me. I'll find someone else, no biggie."<br /> <br /> Nathan lost it, "Who else would even look at you?"<br /> <br /> But Isabella, she didn't even flinch. Shoulders back, head high, she walked right out the door.<br /> <br /> The crowd was eating up the drama like it was prime-time TV.<br /> <br /> Zachary and Isabella's engagement was like the hot gossip among the rich folks. Their families were tight, and with Isabella and Zachary set to tie the knot, the business was booming.<br /> <br /> The engagement party was just for show. They were heading for the altar anyway. But then, the plot thickened like in a soap opera.<br /> <br /> Zachary did Isabella dirty with her own bestie. Feeling burned, Isabella put them on blast right there in front of everyone.<br /> <br /> Instead of feeling sorry for her, people were ragging on Isabella. She was pretty shaken up when she realized that nobody seemed to care about her side of the story. But could she really get mad when her own dad dissed her too?<br /> <br /> Isabella stepped down from the stage and nearly took a spill in her killer heels. Just in time, one guy reached out and saved her from a faceplant.<br /> <br /> "Thanks," Isabella mumbled, looking down.<br /> <br /> A chill voice came from up top, "Watch your step."<br /> <br /> Isabella regained her balance, raised her head, and met a pair of deep, calm eyes. She was momentarily stunned, charmed by the handsome face before her. This guy was something elseโstrong brows, dark blue eyes, the works. He was all smiles and chill vibes.<br /> <br /> She took a breath and laid it all out there, completely honest. "Hi! Are you single?"<br /> <br /> He was stunned but nodded.<br /> <br /> Ignoring the crowd's shocked gasps, Isabella was like, "I'm Isabella Sorenson, 22, still in college at University of Moulmore. I have 40% shares in Sorenson Multimedia and will inherit all the inheritance left by my granddad and mom when I turn 25. But for now, I'm penniless. I need to marry someone. You in?"<br /> <br /> Isabella locked eyes with the guy. She was ticked off for sure, but she didn't give a flip. Her life's been no cakewalk. She fell hard for Zachary, and he didn't even say 'my bad' for stabbing her in the back.<br /> <br /> Her mom's parting advice to Isabella was to play it cool, to roll with the punches. For years, she put up with the drama and what'd she get? Zilch, just a slap in the face and zero backup.<br /> <br /> Isabella thought, 'I'd rather throw the baby out with the bathwater at this point. They're all drooling over my wealth and gearing up to rip me off, right? Fine! I'll marry someone random and not give them a dime!'<br /> <br /> Then, like clockwork, someone in the peanut gallery was like, "Holy cow! Did Isabella just lose it? What's she yapping about now? Poor Zachary."<br /> <br /> "Totally shameless! Just grabs a guy and pops the question? And after Zachary's folks bent over backwards to get her to forgive him!" added another voice.<br /> <br /> Chapter 3 It Is Him<br /> Isabella stood next to the stage, and everybody caught every word she said. Nathan, Terence, and the crowd beelined to her.<br /> <br /> "Isabella Sorenson! Have you flipped your lid?" Nathan's face was all red.<br /> <br /> "No kidding! What's that even mean?" Winona added, looking all shook up.<br /> <br /> "Are you crazy? You're practically giving away your assets by doing this!" Lorelai was devastated.<br /> <br /> Isabella completely ignored the people behind her and focused on the man before her. "Sir, do you hear me? Marry me, and you will have a fortune in three years. It's a bargain."<br /> <br /> The man's clear gaze met hers, and he chuckled. "You know, guys usually do the proposing." His voice was low and sexy.<br /> <br /> Isabella was speechless, the crowd zipped it for a hot second, then split their sides laughing. They figured he ditched her.<br /> <br /> Nathan almost couldn't resist the urge to storm forward and kick Isabella. "Isabella! Get back here right now!"<br /> <br /> The man's low voice sounded right after Nathan finished his sentence. "I'll marry you."<br /> <br /> Complete silence ensued.<br /> <br /> "My name is Clayton Murray. I'm 28 years old and single. I work at Rayson International. Ms. Isabella Sorenson, will you marry me?" Clayton fixed his gaze upon Isabella.<br /> <br /> Tears fell from Isabella's big eyes. "Thank you! Yes, I will!"<br /> <br /> Inside, she's throwing high fives to luck. Finally, she could breathe. Didn't matter who he was as long as she was pulling herself out of the quicksand.<br /> <br /> And just like that, the crowd went wild.<br /> <br /> "Say what? That's Clayton Murray from Rayson International?" someone gasped.<br /> <br /> "Whoa, the legendary second son of the Murray family?" someone else hollered.<br /> <br /> "No way! I heard Clayton doesn't mix with ladies. Could this be a fake?" somebody wondered.<br /> <br /> "Bummer. Mr. Murray's like a ghostโnever seen in public or snapping selfies. How can we even know if it's really him?" another person pitched in.<br /> <br /> "He looks legit. I mean, who would have the guts to fake being Mr. Murray? Plus, dude's got charmโI hear the real Clayton's a looker," came a comment from the crowd.<br /> <br /> Isabella dried her eyes and spun around to face the stage crowd. "Just to be clearโZachary and I are done. We're out of each other's lives. Next up, I'm marryingโ"<br /> <br /> She had to check with Clayton because she blanked on his name.<br /> <br /> "Clayton." He gave her a small grin.<br /> <br /> "Yeah, Clayton!" Isabella said, staring them down without a wince.<br /> <br /> Nathan boomed, "Hold up; you're the Clayton Murray?"<br /> <br /> Clayton just gave a cool nod. "That's me."<br /> <br /> Terence's expression darkened. He glared at Zachary and Scarlett, thinking, 'It's all this little punk's fault!'<br /> <br /> Megan and Yvonne were stunned. 'How's he so drop-dead gorgeous?' they wondered incredulously.<br /> <br /> Clayton swept his glance across the stage. "You all must be Isabella's family. Sorry for taking the liberty to announce our marriage in this way today. I'll pay you a visit someday."<br /> <br /> After saying that, he turned around and linked arms with Isabella, his tone gentle as he spoke to her. "Let's go. What's going on here is none of our business."<br /> <br /> "Mr. Murray, don't be fooled by Isabella! Over the years, she has been a nuisance, trying all means to curry favor with Zach just to get married to him. A woman even Zach has abandoned doesn't deserve you!" Megan shouted eagerly. ''I won't let Isabella have such an excellent man all to herself! I'm better than her. Mr. Murray should marry me. Isabella is nothing compared to me!' she thought.<br /> <br /> "Yes, Mr. Murray. Please wait! Isabella hasn't gotten my dad's permission." Yvonne's soft voice was filled with anxiety. She wasn't as foolish and reckless as Megan, but she, too, wanted Clayton to herself. 'Everyone will think Clayton and Isabella are engaged if they leave like this. I won't allow this! Such an outstanding man should be mine,' she mused.<br /> <br /> "Dad, say something! How can you let Isabella leave like this? Mr. Winslow hasn't agreed to cancel the engagement yet!" Yvonne urged.<br /> <br /> Nathan met his beloved daughter's gaze and cleared his throat. "Isabella! Come back!"<br /> <br /> Terence and Lorelai exchanged glances before the latter shouted, "Isabella, stop messing around. Come back and let's talk things out."<br /> <br /> Isabella tightened her fists, and Clayton patted her on the arm as reassurance.<br /> <br /> He stopped, turned around, and glanced at the people on the stage. "Thank you, Mr. Zachary Winslow, for falling in love with someone else and giving Isabella to me."<br /> <br /> Everyone, including Isabella, looked at Clayton in surprise.<br /> <br /> Gazing at Clayton's side profile, Isabella thought, 'I'm so lucky today. This random man that I chose supports me without hesitation.'<br /> <br /> Clayton then looked at Nathan. "Mr. Ingram, do you have a problem with your daughter marrying me?"<br /> <br /> His voice was gentle and calm, but his domineering aura made Nathan flinch.<br /> <br /> "Zachary, my stomach hurts." An anguished voice rang out at that moment. Scarlett, grabbing Zachary, held her stomach and bent over in pain.<br /> <br /> "Scarlett, what's wrong?" The anxiety and concern in Zachary's voice were obvious.<br /> <br /> Isabella's gaze dimmed, and her heart ached when she saw how much Zachary cared for Scarlett. Lorelai and Terence looked at Scarlett furiously.<br /> <br /> Scarlett admitted timidly, "I-I have been pregnant for two months."<br /> <br /> "What? A-Are you pregnant with Zachary's child?" Lorelai was in shock.<br /> <br /> Scarlett nodded in pain. "Zachary, my stomach hurts."<br /> <br /> Zachary panicked and said, "T-Then, what should we do?" He didn't expect Scarlett to be pregnant. He looked at Isabella below the stage and averted his gaze upon noticing her tear-filled eyes.<br /> <br /> Chapter 4 Conspiracy<br /> "What are you still standing around for? Quick, get her to the hospital. The child's safety comes first," Lorelai said urgently, placing her future grandchild's well-being above all else.<br /> <br /> Clayton covered his mouth and stifled a chuckle. "Even in this situation, you still want your daughter to marry into a family like this, Mr. Ingram? What exactly do you hope to gain from the Winslow family?"<br /> <br /> His words caused a visible shift in everyone's expression.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Nathan's expression was grim.<br /> <br /> Marrying Isabella to Zachary was a strategic move for both families. However, if Clayton was willing to wed Isabella, he would become Nathan's son-in-law, with Rayson International as Nathan's backing.<br /> <br /> The value of one hundred Avid Ventures Real Estate paled in comparison to Rayson International. In the face of years of friendship and mutual benefits, Nathan was torn between loyalty and opportunity. He was a businessman, and he knew what he wanted.<br /> <br /> Clayton saw the calculative glint in Nathan's eyes, turned to Isabella, and softly inquired, "Shall we go?"<br /> <br /> Isabella tore her eyes away from Zachary and Scarlett, nodding gently.<br /> <br /> She visited the graves of her granddad and mother, George and Irina Sorenson, tenderly wiping their photos clean with a tissue.<br /> <br /> "I'm sorry, Granddad, Mom. Zachary and I are no longer together. Our marriage won't be happening," she murmured.<br /> <br /> Caressing Irina's photo on the tombstone, she couldn't control her tears. "I've tried to heed your advice, Mom, enduring everything. But now, I'm at my wit's end. I'm only 22 years old, still too young to take over the company with my current ability," she confessed.<br /> <br /> "I thought things would be fine once I got married, but now..." Isabella muffled her sobs with her hand, her body trembling as she knelt before the tombstone, curled into a small ball of grief.<br /> <br /> Since Irina's passing, Isabella had learned to endure silently through countless trials, enduring disdain from Nathan, Winona, and Yvonne. Growing up in a home that no longer felt like hers was a constant struggle, yet she clung to the hope that marrying Zachary would bring her freedom. She believed that everything would soon be fine.<br /> <br /> When Nathan told her about the engagement party that was about to be held, Isabella was overjoyed. They had planned to get married after her university graduation the following year, and once that happened, she'd finally be free.<br /> <br /> Zachary was the man she loved dearly, and she believed the union arranged by George and Irina must be the best course. After all, Zachary was the guardian angel George and Irina had chosen for her.<br /> <br /> Throughout her childhood, Zachary had been her constant companion, treating her with great care.<br /> <br /> George passed away when Isabella was just eight years old, followed by Irina when Isabella turned ten, enveloping her world in hues of gray.<br /> <br /> When Isabella turned twelve, Zachary left for his studies abroad.<br /> <br /> Tearfully, Isabella clung to his hand, reluctant to let him go, fearful of losing the sole connection she had left to George and Irina.<br /> <br /> She vividly recalled Zachary's promise as he held her hand and said, "Isabella, wait for me. I will come back and marry you when I'm grown up." Those words echoed constantly in her mind.<br /> <br /> Throughout the years, Isabella dedicated herself entirely to Zachary. She nurtured their relationship meticulously, treasuring their brief annual reunions, and worked tirelessly to mold herself into the person he admired, adapting to his preferences.<br /> <br /> Despite enduring ridicule, sarcasm, and insults from Megan and Yvonne, she clung to the belief that everything would be fine after she married Zachary.<br /> <br /> Marrying Zachary had been Isabella's primary motivation and ultimate goal throughout those years. Every future scenario she envisioned concluded with her union with Zachary.<br /> <br /> She firmly believed that marrying him would breathe new life into her existence, heralding a fresh chapter and a brighter future.<br /> <br /> Whenever she faced punishment and was locked in a dark room, whenever she suffered from hunger, whenever she faced difficulties, the mere thought of that envisioned future fueled her with boundless courage.<br /> <br /> Alas, that hope was shattered. The day she had dreamed of would never materialize. The envisioned future dissolved, leaving behind a shattered world. Isabella felt as though her heart had been torn from her chest, leaving behind an agonizing void.<br /> <br /> After a long while of weeping silently, Isabella raised her head, wiping away tears with trembling hands, and pledged, "Granddad, Mom, from now on, I'll live for myself. I'll do my best to not let you down." Despite the pain, she knew that life must persist, regardless of the circumstances.<br /> <br /> As Isabella left the cemetery, the sun had already descended below the horizon.<br /> <br /> Clayton's car waited silently by the gate, catching Isabella off guard. Stepping out of the vehicle, Clayton opened the passenger seat door for her. She said in a low voice as she settled into the seat, "Thank you."<br /> <br /> Clayton got back in the car and glanced at Isabella. Her eyes and nose were red, and she looked exhausted. "Let's find a place for you to rest," Clayton suggested.<br /> <br /> Isabella shook her head, recognizing the inevitability of confronting what lay ahead. "Mr. Murray, thanks for your help today," she croaked, her voice strained from emotion.<br /> <br /> Clayton started the car and asked, "Where do you want to go?"<br /> <br /> "Could you please drive me home?" Isabella requested softly.<br /> <br /> After confirming the address, Clayton fell into silence as Isabella leaned against the window, closing her eyes for the journey home.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, at the Ingram residence, Nathan, Winona, and Yvonne sat facing each other on the couch in solemn silence.<br /> <br /> Breaking the silence, Yvonne implored, "Dad, you can't allow Isabella to marry Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> Nathan, having deliberated the matter during his return journey, felt a disquieting unease despite acknowledging the potential benefits of Isabella's union with Clayton. When pressed by Yvonne, he couldn't help but raise his gaze to meet hers, questioning, "Why?"<br /> <br /> Yvonne hesitated, not knowing what to say, thinking, 'I can't say I should be the one to marry Mr. Murray, right?' She glanced at Winona.<br /> <br /> Winona, pouring a cup of coffee for Nathan, said with composure, "Nate, it's widely known that Isabella and Zachary have been engaged to each other since childhood. Considering her background, it's not suitable for her to wed into the Murray family. Won't they look down on her?"<br /> <br /> Chapter 5 Stirring Up Trouble<br /> Nathan furrowed his brow in response, stating, "That's her decision to make. If she chooses to marry Mr. Murray, and if the Murrays look down on her, she only has herself to blame."<br /> <br /> Winona exchanged a meaningful glance with Yvonne before continuing, "While that may be true, she's still your daughter. If there's talk about her outside, it inevitably reflects on us as well. That's not good."<br /> <br /> Winona looked up at Nathan, who listened intently. "I'm not her biological mother, so I have no authority to discipline her," she began. "As you can see, she rarely communicates with us these years and has her own ideas. What happened today was saddening. She humiliated you in front of everyone. It's one thing for her to disrespect me over the years, but the way she treated you today was unacceptable. Despite my efforts, she only acknowledges Irina as her mother, thinking that we owe her."<br /> <br /> Tears welled up in Winona's eyes as she sniffled. "I know what you're thinking. A marriage of convenience with the Murray family will benefit the company greatly. However, if Isabella doesn't stand by you, then..."<br /> <br /> Her words trailed off, but her meaning was clear.<br /> <br /> Yvonne's gaze flickered as she inwardly praised her mother's wisdom. "Exactly, Dad. We can't squander resources. Even if Isabella married into the Winslow family, there's no guaranteeing she'll put in a good word for you. Your partnership with Mr. Winslow has been smooth-sailing, and that's based on your friendship with him, not Isabella's involvement," Yvonne chimed in.<br /> <br /> Nathan suddenly realized what had been bothering him. Isabella's defiance had caught him off guard. He desired a compliant daughter, not one with her own convictions. He glanced at them, took a sip of coffee, and asked in a deep voice, "So, what do you guys suggest?"<br /> <br /> Winona and Yvonne exchanged a glance. Winona gently proposed, "Nate, we can't trust Isabella, but we can rely on Yvonne. She's our biological daughter."<br /> <br /> Nathan's focus shifted to Yvonne, who appeared bashful. "Mom, we're talking about Isabella. Why bring me up?"<br /> <br /> Winona's expression grew stern. "Yvonne, I'm serious. You're our daughter. You can't just enjoy the privileges your father provides. You must share his burden, understand?" she chided.<br /> <br /> Yvonne straightened up, raising her hand in a playful gesture. "Yes, Mom, I understand. I'll be there for Dad whenever he needs me," she vowed with a smile.<br /> <br /> Nathan was reassured by her promise. Nodding, he remarked, "Winona, you've raised her well. Isabella, on the other hand, is truly disappointing."<br /> <br /> Winona smiled faintly, "My hands are tied. Anything I say as her stepmother could easily be misinterpreted as having ulterior motives."<br /> <br /> "Hmph! It's because she doesn't know what's best for her," Nathan snorted. Then, he frowned. "Are you suggesting that Yvonne should marry into the Murray family?"<br /> <br /> Winona nodded, affirming, "We can trust Yvonne. She's our sweetheart."<br /> <br /> "But Yvonne is only twenty," Nathan voiced his concern. He had always cherished Yvonne and had never contemplated marrying her off at such a young age.<br /> <br /> Knowing that he was wavering, Winona smiled reassuringly, "So what if she's twenty? We can arrange for the marriage now and wait for Yvonne to graduate from university before holding the wedding. That doesn't make much difference."<br /> <br /> Nathan cradled his forehead, contemplating her proposal.<br /> <br /> "Dad, if it benefits our family, I'm in. Trust me; I'll try my best to ensure our family's prosperity," Yvonne declared resolutely, biting her lip as if determined to sacrifice herself for the family.<br /> <br /> Nathan eventually nodded in agreement, which put a smile on Yvonne's face.<br /> <br /> However, Winona intervened softly, "But, Nate, we're not acquainted with Mr. Murray. Perhaps we'll need Isabella to introduce us?"<br /> <br /> Yvonne was taken aback, immediately objecting, "Why should she introduce us? As we saw today, she asked Mr. Murray to marry her on the spur of the moment. Mr. Murray agreed as soon as she mentioned it. So, why can't we approach him directly?"<br /> <br /> Yvonne considered herself superior to Isabella. She mused inwardly, 'In terms of appearance and figure, I'm much better than that country bumpkin. Why should Isabella, who's inferior to me, get to marry such a perfect man? Since Mr. Murray agreed to Isabella's proposal, he'd agree to mine too.'<br /> <br /> Nathan thought her words made sense and pondered for a moment. "Well, how about we pay a visit to Rayson International tomorrow?"<br /> <br /> Outside the Ingram residence, Clayton parked the car and glanced at Isabella who was already asleep in the passenger seat.<br /> <br /> It should've been her engagement party that day. She wore a white knee-length dress, her pinned-up hair already disheveled, with several strands hanging down. Her delicate face appeared particularly pale. She didn't change much since childhood. As she jumped down from the stage, Clayton was struck by the pain and resolution reflected in her eyes.<br /> <br /> 'It seems like she's been struggling all these years,' Clayton thought, tenderly tucking her hair behind her ear.<br /> <br /> Isabella's long lashes quivered slightly as she stirred awake at his touch, momentarily confused upon seeing Clayton.<br /> <br /> "Are you awake?" Clayton asked gently.<br /> <br /> Isabella blinked, and the memories of what happened flooded back. She took a deep breath, attempting to quell the overwhelming pain pulsating through her veins.<br /> <br /> Gazing toward the Ingram residence, she was enveloped by a chilling coldness. This place had been her home, yet since the age of ten, she felt like a superfluous presence there.<br /> <br /> Previously, Zachary's presence had somewhat eased the void left by George and Irina. However, at present, she was all alone.<br /> <br /> The gate of the residence was like a gaping maw, ready to devour her and the legacy of George and Irina at any moment.<br /> <br /> "Do you need me to go in there with you?" Clayton asked softly, observing Isabella, who was staring into space.<br /> <br /> Isabella slowly shook her head. Staring directly ahead, she spoke to Clayton in a composed but distant manner. "Mr. Murray, can we make a deal? I need to leave this place now, but they won't allow me to rent a house independently. Our school's in the middle of renovations, and once the new semester kicks off, students like us who are in the senior year will have to find internship positions on our own, and we can no longer live in dorms. The only option left for me is to get married. Once I get married, I can leave for good."<br /> <br /> Clayton tightened his grip on the steering wheel.<br /> <br /> "I propose we marry, and I'll move into your residence. I'll reside there and pay you rent. If I face financial constraints, I'll provide you with a promissory note. I've mentioned that I'll inherit some assets after turning twenty-five. At that point, I'll settle all my debts to you. Then, we'll proceed with divorce proceedings, and I'll allocate half of the inheritance I receive to you as compensation for marrying me now," Isabella explained.<br /> <br /> Chapter 6 Realization<br /> Isabella declared resolutely, "I will draft a formal agreement stating our rights and responsibilities. Our union will only be a sham marriage. Should you happen to develop feelings for someone else during this time, I ask that you wait until we've been married for at least a year before seeking a divorce. I assure you, my commitment to our arrangement stands firm, and you will receive every cent of your compensation as promised. With this agreement in place, we can ensure fairness for both parties."<br /> <br /> Noticing a pen and paper tucked under the armrest, Isabella grabbed them, jotting down her phone number before passing it to Clayton. "Here is my contact information. Take your time to ponder my proposal; however, I expect your response within three days. Do not delay." With that, Isabella exited the car and left, leaving Clayton staring at the note in his hand blankly.<br /> <br /> Her decisiveness left Clayton momentarily stunned.<br /> <br /> He couldn't help chuckling as he watched Isabella walk away in determined strides. "Isabella, I'm back. I'll stand by your side no matter what you do," Clayton murmured, thinking, 'I'll let her do whatever she wants. Whatever happens, I'll clean up after her.' Even if she didn't know who he was, Nathan did. Nathan'd never dare to lay a hand on her.<br /> <br /> *****<br /> <br /> Dinner was served in a peaceful ambiance.<br /> <br /> "Ms. Sorenson, you've returned." One of the maids, Elsie Anderson, was surprised to see Isabella.<br /> <br /> Isabella paid no heed to the mix of surprise and disdain the other three were displaying. "Dad, Winona." Dipping her head, she greeted them before settling at the table, accepting the soup bowl offered by Elsie.<br /> <br /> She hadn't eaten anything since morning and was starving. Clayton had suggested taking her to dinner earlier, but she had declined. She would have to face this sooner or later, so why delay it?<br /> <br /> "Isabella, why are you only back now? Mom and Dad were too worried to eat," Yvonne said, sharing a meaningful glance with Winona.<br /> <br /> Nathan's expression darkened.<br /> <br /> Isabella finished her soup and put down the spoon. Disregarding the cold leftovers on the table, she explained, "I went to visit Grandpa and Mom. I needed to inform them that Zachary and I have called off our engagement."<br /> <br /> Nathan sneered, "And they didn't reprimand you?"<br /> <br /> Isabella lowered her head in silence.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, you've pissed your dad off today. How could you embarrass him in front of everyone?" Winona said softly.<br /> <br /> "Mom, don't blame Isabella. Remember, she's the eldest daughter of the Sorenson family and the designated heiress of Sorenson Multimedia. Dad wouldn't hold it against her. Who knows what those shareholders might say if he did?" Yvonne interjected, stealing glances at Nathan.<br /> <br /> Nathan's expression darkened further as his gaze bore into Isabella.<br /> <br /> Isabella quietly ate the food Elsie gave her. She had gotten used to such drama. Winona and Yvonne always sowed discord between her and Nathan. Then, endless insults would ensue that would sometimes escalate into physical abuse.<br /> <br /> She was a Sorenson, and her father was an Ingram. That was one of her sins.<br /> <br /> Nathan didn't lose his temper. Instead, he snorted derisively before leaving the dining room.<br /> <br /> Winona shot a glance and Yvonne and Isabella before following Nathan out.<br /> <br /> As soon as her parents left, Yvonne abandoned her facade of dignity. Casting a scornful glance at Isabella, who remained meek and reserved as always, she said sarcastically, "I'm amazed you still have the nerve to stay alive. If I were in your shoes, I'd have put an end to it all by now. Maybe flung myself into a river or hung myself. Anything's better than living like this. Your fiancรฉ despises you and cheats on you with your closest friend. Aren't you devastated? How do you even have an appetite?"<br /> <br /> After taking the final bite, Isabella met Yvonne's gaze with indifference. "I've found someone willing to wed me."<br /> <br /> Yvonne scoffed, "Wake up, will you? Do you honestly believe you're the eldest daughter of the Sorenson family?"<br /> <br /> Isabella merely looked at her coldly. Yvonne often carried herself with elegance and composure in public. Isabella was perhaps the only person who had seen her true colors.<br /> <br /> She thought, 'Does Yvonne ever get tired of pretending? I pretend to be indifferent and weak because Winona and Yvonne forced me to, but no one's forcing Yvonne. So why is she pretending?'<br /> <br /> "What're you looking at?" Yvonne bellowed at Isabella. Isabella's charming face never failed to anger her. 'Why does she get all the luck? A wealthy grandfather and mother, and even that envy-inducing face!' she seethed inwardly.<br /> <br /> Yvonne sent her plate hurtling toward Isabella.<br /> <br /> Isabella rose from her seat, narrowly dodging the plate as it crashed to the ground.<br /> <br /> "What's wrong?" Winona asked loudly.<br /> <br /> Yvonne glared at Isabella.<br /> <br /> Normally, Isabella would've quickly apologized to Winona, saying she had accidentally broken the plate. Yet, today, Isabella simply turned to face the incensed Yvonne in silence.<br /> <br /> Elsie interjected fearfully, "Mrs. Ingram, I'm sorry; I accidentally dropped a plate."<br /> <br /> Both Isabella and Yvonne looked at Elsie at the same time.<br /> <br /> Yvonne shot daggers at Elsie before exiting the dining room.<br /> <br /> Elsie tugged at Isabella's arm, whispering, "Ms. Sorenson, just endure it. This too shall pass."<br /> <br /> Endure. It was a mantra instilled in Isabella since childhood by Elsie and also what her late mother said to her. Today, however, she realized that enduring only made things worse.<br /> <br /> Isabella hurried to the bathroom, changing out of the dress and cleansing herself of the shame it carried. She then returned to her room on the second floor, a windowless storeroom bereft of sunlight year-round. She even had to use the maid's bathroom. Besides Elsie, no one would regard her as the family's eldest daughter.<br /> <br /> The luxurious room that her grandfather and mother decorated was handed over to Yvonne just a month after Winona and Yvonne's arrival. Isabella's living quarters changed each time she made a "mistake" until she found herself relegated to the storeroom, a decision that satisfied Winona and Yvonne at last.<br /> <br /> This was the consequence of endurance.<br /> <br /> Isabella curled up on the cramped bed, the air stifling and hot. The wind could only filter in when the door was opened. Yet, she didn't want to move, let alone open the door.<br /> <br /> Isabella closed her eyes, the events of the day replaying in her mind. She watched them unfold once more like a distant observer.<br /> <br /> The moment Zachary started dating Scarlett remained a mystery to her.<br /> <br /> Since Zachary's return from abroad, he started work in his family's company, leaving little opportunity for him and Isabella to spend time together. Isabella was never one to inconvenience others, so she never interrupted Zachary's work. Understanding his desire for a compliant girlfriend, she made every effort to fit that mold.<br /> <br /> Ever since Zachary returned, the two families celebrated festivals together, which Isabella enjoyed.<br /> <br /> Zachary didn't treat her poorly or particularly well, but he and Yvonne were tight. They got along well, even though Zachary used to dislike Yvonne as a kid.<br /> <br /> Chapter 7 Truth<br /> Today, Scarlett claimed Isabella had forgiven them, which was nonsense. Isabella didn't know anything about their affair.<br /> <br /> Isabella wondered, 'Why would she say that? Was it to make Zachary turn against me? If that's the case, it's obvious who played the video. However, Scarlett isn't stupid. There are so many ways to let me know, so why did she choose this one? Doing so will only cause her more harm than good. Oh, right, because doing so makes it seem like my handiwork. No one will suspect Scarlett of selling herself out. As for Zachary, he is always on Scarlett's side. He never admitted his mistake or apologized. He kept emphasizing that Scarlett is my good friend and that I should be nice to her. Zachary, am I being nice to her by letting you go? Why do you take everything I do for granted?'<br /> <br /> Isabella's heart ached as she recalled the tender look Zachary reserved for Scarlett.<br /> <br /> Zachary had never looked at her like that before. 'I'm just not worth his affection, huh?' she pondered.<br /> <br /> Lorelai's words hit Isabella like a sudden storm. Throughout the years, Lorelai treated Isabella well. Isabella once believed she was sincere and even vowed to take good care of Lorelai after the marriage.<br /> <br /> However, it turned out that Lorelai valued her social status and assets. That was probably her second original sin.<br /> <br /> Isabella held a significant 40% stake in Sorenson Multimedia, making her the company's largest shareholder. However, because of her youth, all the dividends from this ownership were directed into a trust established by her grandfather, which remained inaccessible until she reached the age of 25. She wouldn't receive her inheritance from her grandfather and mother until that time.<br /> <br /> Today, she finally realized that the Winslow family's acceptance of her wasn't based on genuine affection or sympathy for her loss of her mother. It also wasn't due to their acquaintance with her late mother and grandfather either. Instead, it was because of the assets she would eventually possess.<br /> <br /> They were kind to her because of her assets, and cruel to her for the same reason.<br /> <br /> Nathan had always been eyeing the property Isabella could inherit, especially because Yvonne didn't have any. When Isabella turned 18, Nathan deemed her old enough to handle her inheritance. He once pressured her to draft a document pledging half of the property to Yvonne. However, his plan was thwarted when the lawyer and four key company shareholders intervened.<br /> <br /> George and Irina foresaw the possibility of someone coveting the assets and therefore imposed an age restriction of 25. At 18, Isabella didn't have the authority to transfer her future assets.<br /> <br /> Nathan had married into the Sorenson family, so any child he had with Irina must carry the Sorenson name, while offspring from other relationships would not inherit this family name.<br /> <br /> Thus, Isabella was the only heiress of the Sorenson family.<br /> <br /> Furthermore, if Nathan decided to transfer his shares to Yvonne rather than Isabella, the four main investors would pull out their money from Sorenson Multimedia. The company had always been in the hands of the Sorenson family, and it would stay that way.<br /> <br /> If the major investors withdrew their support, the company would collapse, as Nathan's 30% stake alone wouldn't be enough to sustain it. Nathan's family eventually gave up on their plan.<br /> <br /> Instead of trying to butter Isabella up to get their way, they chose to resent her even more. Isabella couldn't help but admire them for that, for they didn't yield in the face of greed.<br /> <br /> Another way to access her wealth was by letting her marry Zachary.<br /> <br /> In this scenario, her property would serve as her dowry, to be shared with the Winslow family upon marriage. Given Isabella's infatuation with Zachary, she would likely agree to this arrangement. Consequently, Nathan collaborated with the Winslow family on various investment and development endeavors in recent years, aiming to reap the maximum benefits in due time.<br /> <br /> "Grandpa, Mom, 25 isn't a safe age either. If I were an idiot, I'd still be an idiot at 25 years old," Isabella murmured.<br /> <br /> Luckily, misfortune wasn't the only thing the heavens bestowed upon her. At least Zachary found his true love. She wondered if that had anything to do with divine intervention.<br /> <br /> Getting out of bed, she used a nearby book to fan herself.<br /> <br /> 'Time to draw up a contract for Clayton. If he's sensible, he'll agree to my terms,' she thought. Isabella needed to move out as soon as possible. She had neither the energy nor the mood to deal with Yvonne and Winona's tricks anymore.<br /> <br /> They wouldn't let her rent a place outside, because that would make it hard for them to control her. Also, that would bring disgrace upon the Sorenson family. The only escape route left was to get married.<br /> <br /> The identity of her partner hardly mattered, as long as he was a true gentleman. She would draft a pact, ensuring her safety and rights were protected. And in return, she would offer him the benefits he rightly deserved, for he would be her savior.<br /> <br /> She needed to find a place to settle down and focus on earning money, aiming to gather 300 thousand dollars within a year to finance her studies in Upria for the next five years. It wasn't much, but she could continue earning while studying.<br /> <br /> Her future needed replanning. This time, she was on her own, and she vowed to protect herself from harm.<br /> <br /> The next morning, Nathan took Yvonne to Rayson International. As they stood outside the towering structure, Yvonne was exhilarated.<br /> <br /> Amidst the bustling heart of the city, the building stood tall and majestic. The employees were in a hurry, but their demeanor radiated confidence and pride unmatched by those of other companies.<br /> <br /> A smile crept onto Yvonne's face as she envisioned herself as the owner of this impressive building and the wife of its esteemed boss, overseeing these elite professionals in the future.<br /> <br /> Clayton accepted the document from his assistant, Johnny Lawton, signing it before instructing, "Get in touch with Kayson and have him find a place for me near University of Moulmore. Something around 1,000 square feet, suitable for two people, and fully equipped with all the essentials."<br /> <br /> Johnny answered, "Okay."<br /> <br /> Seeing that Clayton was reading a contract, Johnny called Kayson.<br /> <br /> After a while, Kayson entered. "Boss, what do you think about Moonlight Apartment near University of Moulmore? It's just a ten-minute stroll from the campus, and boasts a thriving community with all the amenities you could need."<br /> <br /> Clayton thought for a moment, but the name didn't ring a bell. "Okay. Go ahead and purchase a unit."<br /> <br /> Kayson laughed, "Boss, that's our property. You reserved a suite for yourself on the 28th floor. I was wondering why you never brought it up again. Turns out you forgot."<br /> <br /> Johnny glared at him. "Cut the crap and get it sorted already."<br /> <br /> Clayton glanced at Kayson but remained silent. Kayson stuck out his tongue playfully, heading toward the door. "Boss, will you be living alone or will Mr. Maguire be joining you?"<br /> <br /> Without looking up, Clayton responded, "It'll be me and my wife."<br /> <br /> Chapter 8 Will You Marry Me Instead?<br /> Clayton continued working on the document while Johnny and Kayson stiffened. Johnny, usually collected, also stared at Clayton in disbelief.<br /> <br /> Kayson's mouth hung open. "Y-You and who, Boss?"<br /> <br /> Clayton glanced up at them, answering flatly, "My wife. Do you have a hearing problem?"<br /> <br /> Kayson gaped in shock at Clayton, who kept working, then turned to the equally dumbfounded Johnny.<br /> <br /> Another assistant, Weston Quinn, entered the office. "Mr. Murray, Mr. Nathan Ingram and his daughter are here to see you."<br /> <br /> Clayton didn't look up. "Did they make an appointment?"<br /> <br /> Weston shook his head. "No, but he mentioned Isabella Sorenson. Said you'd know right away."<br /> <br /> Clayton's head snapped up at once. "All right, bring them up."<br /> <br /> Weston was stunned, for he seemed to have caught a glimpse of a smile on Clayton's face.<br /> <br /> However, he blinked and thought his eyes must've been playing tricks. Noticing how Kayson was rooted in his spot, Weston presumed Kayson had been lectured again and hurriedly turned to leave.<br /> <br /> Clayton glimpsed at Kayson. "Why are you still here?"<br /> <br /> Kayson jolted out of his daze, murmuring, "T-This feels too surreal..."<br /> <br /> Clayton glanced at Johnny, who quickly composed himself, clenched his fists, and cleared his throat before saying, "This information is somewhat... unexpected. It's only normal that Kay needs a moment to process it, Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> Johnny then glared at Kayson. "What are you still waiting for? Go get it done."<br /> <br /> Promptly, Kayson exited the room, still looking thunderstruck.<br /> <br /> He had just shut the door when he saw Hendrix Henderson working in the personal assistants' office. "Hens, let me pinch you and see if it hurts!" Kayson reached for Hendrix's handsome face, but Hendrix swatted Kayson's hand away with a folder.<br /> <br /> "Oh, get lost. Pinch yourself." Hendrix scowled. "What's the matter with you this early in the morning? You got scolded again? You were in there for so long."<br /> <br /> Kayson retracted his throbbing hand in a heartbeat. "Ouch, that hurts! So this isn't a dream!"<br /> <br /> Hendrix rolled his eyes, used to how Kayson would act up at least a few times a day.<br /> <br /> All four of Clayton's personal assistants were men. Johnny had been with Clayton the longest and resembled Clayton most, as cold and aloof. Weston and Hendrix, while mostly reserved, still wore their emotions on their faces from time to time. As for Kayson, he was the lone constant jokester of the group.<br /> <br /> Kayson looked at Hendrix intently. "Do you have any idea what I was tasked with?"<br /> <br /> Hendrix couldn't be bothered to answer, knowing Kayson would continue talking regardless of whether there was any response.<br /> <br /> Kayson's Adam's apple bobbed. "Boss told me to buy him an apartment. He said it's for him and his wife."<br /> <br /> Hendrix's fingers that were flying over the keyboard froze. "Are you still half-asleep? You must've heard wrong, and so absurd at that. Watch yourself, or Johnny will come give you an earful!"<br /> <br /> Kayson snatched the folder from Hendrix and insisted, "It's true! Johnny is in there. He heard it too. Ask him if you don't believe me."<br /> <br /> Before Hendrix could reply, they spotted Weston leading Nathan and Yvonne over. Kayson's eyes widened at the sight of Yvonne while he nudged Hendrix.<br /> <br /> Hendrix looked over, thinking, 'My, isn't she a beauty? What's going on here? Could she be the "wife" that Boss was referring to?'<br /> <br /> Weston was perplexed when he caught sight of the duo's transfixed gazes. 'What's up with those two? Why do they look so stunned?' he wondered.<br /> <br /> Yvonne had been pumped up the moment she stepped into the lobby. The low-key yet lavish interior of Rayson International made the Sorenson Multimedia and the Winslow family's Avid Ventures Real Estate that she was familiar with seem like night and day.<br /> <br /> As she expected, meeting Clayton was no easy feat. Clayton never entertained visitors without appointments despite Nathan making his identity known.<br /> <br /> Luckily, Isabella's name had worked in their favor. 'Looks like he still remembers yesterday's incident. In that case, he will surely recognize me, too. The gown I wore was tailor-made and cost ten times more than Isabella's, practically making me the star of the event. There's no way he'll forget my pretty face,' she mused in glee.<br /> <br /> Yvonne's heart raced involuntarily when she saw Clayton's assistant coming to escort them upstairs. She thought giddily, 'My goodness, Weston's quite the looker. What a pity that he isn't pursuing a celebrity career.'<br /> <br /> They had taken the private elevator up to Clayton's office, where another two astonished yet dashing men stood by the entrance. Yvonne was beyond thrilled on the inside, confident they were amazed by her beauty. 'I knew it. No one will overlook my looks with Isabella absent. See, even Mr. Murray's assistants are mesmerized by me,' she pondered, brimming with confidence and anticipation.<br /> <br /> After Weston knocked on the door, a deep voice rang out from inside. "Come in."<br /> <br /> Weston opened the door and politely gestured for Nathan and Yvonne to enter. "Mr. and Ms. Ingram are here, Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> Clayton looked up, his gaze and voice turning cold as he questioned Weston, "Didn't you say Ms. Isabella Sorenson was here?"<br /> <br /> Weston turned quizzically to Nathan.<br /> <br /> Nathan was all smiles as he stepped forward eagerly. "Hello, Mr. Murray! I'm Nathan Ingram. Isabella's my daughter."<br /> <br /> Clayton did not get up or spare a glance at Nathan's extended hand. "Where's Isabella?"<br /> <br /> Nathan awkwardly retracted his hand. "Ah, Isabella. She's, uh..."<br /> <br /> "Mr. Murray, my sister wanted us to inform you that she can't marry you," Yvonne chimed in gently while staring at Clayton.<br /> <br /> Clayton arched an eyebrow at the father-daughter duo.<br /> <br /> Nathan clenched his fist at his side and said solemnly, "That's right. We've come to explain the situation. Isabella is already engaged, so she can't marry you. But I have anotherโ"<br /> <br /> "Mr. Ingram!" Clayton interrupted frigidly. "Hasn't it already been made clear to everyone yesterday? Isabella called off the engagement with her ex-fiancรฉ and asked me to marry her. If she wants to go back on her word, she'll have to tell me herself!"<br /> <br /> Nathan's face fell as it dawned on him that Clayton was serious about the marriage.<br /> <br /> Yvonne became anxious. "I don't think you understand, Mr. Murray. Her and Zachary's marriage contract is set in stone. It was personally arranged by her mother. Isabella can't call the shots!"<br /> <br /> Clayton leaned back, arms crossed. "Oh? How about me, then? Mr. Ingram, as I said yesterday, nobody has dared to stop me from doing anything I want. Have you forgotten that, or did you choose not to believe me?"<br /> <br /> Clayton stared at Nathan, who instinctively lowered his head in the face of Clayton's overwhelmingly imposing aura. A shiver ran down Nathan's spine. "O-Of course not, Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> "Then what are you doing here now?" Clayton's voice was utterly icy.<br /> <br /> Yvonne boldly met his eyes. "Mr. Murray, I'm Yvonne Ingram, 20 this year, currently a sophomore at the University of Moulmore, majoring in economics and management, and future heiress to Sorenson Multimedia. Will you marry me instead?" She had dressed to the nines to meet him today, convinced that she could catch his fancy. | Endless Stories | 206 | https://facebook.com/61555726498427 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

The young billionaire whispered with his hand grabbing Isabella's, who was in a wedding gown.<br /> "Do you need me to help you seek revenge? Whether it's the scumbag who betrayed you or your stepmother, they're nothing in front of me."<br /> Isabella looked at the handsome man in front of her and nodded.<br /> "Marry me, and we'll let them regret it for the rest of their lives."<br /> <br /> Chapter 1 Betrayal<br /> Up on the massive screen, a couple in their birthday suits were all tangled up, getting hot and heavy, and the surround sound was blasting every moan and breath.<br /> <br /> The lady had curves for days and her skin was mad smooth. Then there came a close-up of their faces.<br /> <br /> Isabella Sorenson was struck dumb, staring up at the screen, and she felt like she'd just been punched in the gut. The naked couple were none other than her main squeeze Zachary Winslow and her bestie Scarlett Pearson.<br /> <br /> And no joke, they were both right there next to her because today was supposed to be Isabella and Zachary's engagement party.<br /> <br /> Just a second before, that screen was showing cute throwbacks of Zachary and Isabella growing up together, while some dude was talking all mushy about it. It went from little Isabella at three to Zachary at seven, and then instead of more childhood pictures, the screen switched to the hookup video.<br /> <br /> "Ah!" Scarlett let out a scream and threw her arms around Zachary.<br /> <br /> Now, if anybody was still clueless about who were up on that screen, everything was out in the open. While Isabella was stuck on the spot, Zachary was hugging Scarlett.<br /> <br /> The whole place exploded with whispers and gasps.<br /> <br /> "Yo, ain't that Isabella's ride-or-die?" one guest whispered.<br /> <br /> "Seriously, Ms. Sorenson got played?" chimed in another.<br /> <br /> "Yo, check out that bod!" somebody else hollered.<br /> <br /> "What's going on?" Isabella's father, Nathan Ingram, was freaking out, trying to cover up the screen, but this screen was enormous. Though he was like pushing six feet, he looked straight-up silly trying to block it.<br /> <br /> Terence Winslow, Zachary's father, was beet red but he bolted toward the control room to turn off the screen.<br /> <br /> Scarlett, her eyes leaking like a faucet, hit Isabella with the puppy dog eyes. "Isabella, didn't you pinky swear to let this go? I promised I'd ditch Zachary and leave town the second you're engaged. Why you gotta blast this now? Are you trying to ruin me?"<br /> <br /> When Scarlett clung to Zachary, he looked kinda red-faced but went wide-eyed the second he heard what Scarlett said. Holding her firmly, he asked, "What are you saying, Scarlett? Isabella forced you to leave?"<br /> <br /> It was as if a bomb had detonated within Isabella's mind, leaving her stunned and disoriented. She stared blankly at Zachary, her childhood sweetheart. Ever since she could remember, Isabella had made up her mind to spend the rest of her life with Zachary.<br /> <br /> 'When did he and Scarlett become a thing? And when did I ever agree not to pursue this matter? What's going on here? What are they talking about?' Isabelle wondered.<br /> <br /> "How could you be so vicious, setting up your own fiancรฉ and best friend?" Zachary's sister, Megan Winslow, shoved Isabella on the shoulder.<br /> <br /> Isabella, in a daze, didn't see that coming and staggered backward until she ended up right beside Nathan.<br /> <br /> Nathan was filled with fury. Raising his hand, he slapped her in the face. "Look at what you've done! You've brought disgrace upon both our families!"<br /> <br /> Before Isabella could even regain her balance, she was knocked to the ground by the slap. Zachary grew anxious and instinctively wanted to help her up, but Scarlett tightened her grip on his arm.<br /> <br /> Isabella turned and caught a glance of the smugness in Scarlett's eyes.<br /> <br /> "How can you hit your child? Come on, get up, Isabella." A voice was heard as a pair of hands helped Isabella to her feet.<br /> <br /> Terence sighed, "Isabella, don't blame your father. What you did was really out of line."<br /> <br /> Lorelai Winslow, Zachary's mother, pointed at Scarlett and said, "Where did you come from? You must have seduced my son. Get out of here! I'll never let you become part of our family!"<br /> <br /> Scarlett hid behind Zachary like a scared puppy.<br /> <br /> Zachary positioned himself protectively in front of Scarlett, his voice firm as he addressed his mother. "Mom, don't blame Scarlett. Isabella, she's your best friend. You can't push her to the brink like this!"<br /> <br /> With Terence's support, Isabella finally got back to her feet. A solitary tear traced its path down her cheek. As she gazed up at Zachary, the man she had loved for most of her life, she realized he had become a stranger in the blink of an eye.<br /> <br /> 'Scarlett's supposed to be my best friend. He knows that. They play me and now it's my bad?' she thought.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, I can't even with you. Zach, how can you tie the knot with her? After you're hitched, who knows what stories she'll spin? Can't trust her. Not one bit!" Megan was throwing shade at Isabella before turning to Zachary, all concerned.<br /> <br /> Megan had been in the same class as Isabella back in high school, but they never really hit it off. Megan always teamed up with Yvonne Ingram to give Isabella a hard time. Plus, Megan detested the idea of Isabella becoming part of her family.<br /> <br /> "Zip it! Isabella is the eldest daughter of the esteemed Sorenson family. And who's that chick? Does she possess the same standing as Isabella? How could the Winslow family be cool with letting just anyone in?" Lorelai snapped off, not realizing she was pretty loud.<br /> <br /> Lorelai wasn't Isabella's number one fan, but she was all about that social ladder. Having Isabella marry in was like a major level-up for Zachary. No other high-class family had a daughter that could touch Isabella's status. Plus, Isabella was the kind of person one could sway pretty easy.<br /> <br /> So yeah, Lorelai had to make it crystal clearโthey couldn't let Isabella slip away.<br /> <br /> At first, Isabella kind of felt thankful to her future mother-in-law for stepping up, but then it hit her why she really did it.<br /> <br /> "Yes! Isabella, you're the eldest daughter of the Sorenson family. You should consider the reputations of the Sorenson family, the Ingram family, and the Winslow family before doing this!" Yvonne chimed in, looking all stressed.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, you've just crushed your dad. His heart's in pieces," Winona said, sounding all sweet but sad.<br /> <br /> Winona and Yvonne dropping those lines just made Nathan and Terence pull grumpier faces. 'She's gotta grow up. Can't be airing our dirty laundry like this!' they thought.<br /> <br /> Chapter 2 Proposal<br /> Isabella looked at the people around her.<br /> <br /> Her father, Nathan, was boiling mad.<br /> <br /> Her stepmother, Winona, and her half-sister, Yvonne, were getting a kick out of the drama.<br /> <br /> Her future father-in-law Terence was just shaking his head, and future mother-in-law Lorelai was cringing.<br /> <br /> Her would-be sister-in-law Megan was glaring holes through her.<br /> <br /> Her fiancรฉ, Zachary, didn't know what to do. In his arms was the pitiful woman, Scarlett, who was once her best friend.<br /> <br /> These folks were Isabella's whole world. And just like that, the world flipped, leaving Isabella as the one everyone was pointing fingers at.<br /> <br /> Isabella brushed away the tears and said lightly, "I hereby announce that Zachary Winslow and Isabella Sorenson's marriage contract has been canceled. We have nothing to do with each other from now on. I wish you happiness!" Then she bounced off the stage.<br /> <br /> Her dad Nathan jumped in, "Hold up, you think it's just up to you? You and Zachary were a done deal before you were even a twinkle. Don't even try to ditch this without my say-so!" Nathan had always been tough on Isabella, mostly because having Isabella around was a constant reminder that he was kind of a live-in son-in-law and his kids had to take their mom's last name. Big-time embarrassment for a guy who made it big.<br /> <br /> "And Isabella, cool it, will ya? Zachary messed up, and we'll make him say sorry. This marriage thing wasn't just your call, it's our families' deal. Don't go and have a meltdown. I got your back," Terence tried to smooth things over.<br /> <br /> Then he whirled around and snapped at Zachary, "Zachary! Drop that girl already!"<br /> <br /> Zachary looked like he didn't know what hit him.<br /> <br /> Scarlett, all tears and drama, shoved Zachary away. "Go after Isabella, Zachary. My bad, it's all on me. I'm no match for Isabella. I'm sorry, Isabella. Forgive me, okay? Don't go."<br /> <br /> Zachary just stood there, silent as a ghost.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, hold it! Are you deaf?" Nathan was beside himself with rage. He thought, 'She's always done what I said, like a perfect little robot. Why's she ignoring orders today?'<br /> <br /> Isabella stopped cold, her hands balled into fists so tight they hurt. She spun around to face Nathan.<br /> <br /> Now Nathan got real. "Come on, it's nothing. Why you making a big deal? Zachary and his folks are cool now. What more do you need? Who else would deal with your drama? You gotta see where your bread's buttered!"<br /> <br /> Isabella just felt this chill and said real slow, "He deserves better than me. I'll find someone else, no biggie."<br /> <br /> Nathan lost it, "Who else would even look at you?"<br /> <br /> But Isabella, she didn't even flinch. Shoulders back, head high, she walked right out the door.<br /> <br /> The crowd was eating up the drama like it was prime-time TV.<br /> <br /> Zachary and Isabella's engagement was like the hot gossip among the rich folks. Their families were tight, and with Isabella and Zachary set to tie the knot, the business was booming.<br /> <br /> The engagement party was just for show. They were heading for the altar anyway. But then, the plot thickened like in a soap opera.<br /> <br /> Zachary did Isabella dirty with her own bestie. Feeling burned, Isabella put them on blast right there in front of everyone.<br /> <br /> Instead of feeling sorry for her, people were ragging on Isabella. She was pretty shaken up when she realized that nobody seemed to care about her side of the story. But could she really get mad when her own dad dissed her too?<br /> <br /> Isabella stepped down from the stage and nearly took a spill in her killer heels. Just in time, one guy reached out and saved her from a faceplant.<br /> <br /> "Thanks," Isabella mumbled, looking down.<br /> <br /> A chill voice came from up top, "Watch your step."<br /> <br /> Isabella regained her balance, raised her head, and met a pair of deep, calm eyes. She was momentarily stunned, charmed by the handsome face before her. This guy was something elseโstrong brows, dark blue eyes, the works. He was all smiles and chill vibes.<br /> <br /> She took a breath and laid it all out there, completely honest. "Hi! Are you single?"<br /> <br /> He was stunned but nodded.<br /> <br /> Ignoring the crowd's shocked gasps, Isabella was like, "I'm Isabella Sorenson, 22, still in college at University of Moulmore. I have 40% shares in Sorenson Multimedia and will inherit all the inheritance left by my granddad and mom when I turn 25. But for now, I'm penniless. I need to marry someone. You in?"<br /> <br /> Isabella locked eyes with the guy. She was ticked off for sure, but she didn't give a flip. Her life's been no cakewalk. She fell hard for Zachary, and he didn't even say 'my bad' for stabbing her in the back.<br /> <br /> Her mom's parting advice to Isabella was to play it cool, to roll with the punches. For years, she put up with the drama and what'd she get? Zilch, just a slap in the face and zero backup.<br /> <br /> Isabella thought, 'I'd rather throw the baby out with the bathwater at this point. They're all drooling over my wealth and gearing up to rip me off, right? Fine! I'll marry someone random and not give them a dime!'<br /> <br /> Then, like clockwork, someone in the peanut gallery was like, "Holy cow! Did Isabella just lose it? What's she yapping about now? Poor Zachary."<br /> <br /> "Totally shameless! Just grabs a guy and pops the question? And after Zachary's folks bent over backwards to get her to forgive him!" added another voice.<br /> <br /> Chapter 3 It Is Him<br /> Isabella stood next to the stage, and everybody caught every word she said. Nathan, Terence, and the crowd beelined to her.<br /> <br /> "Isabella Sorenson! Have you flipped your lid?" Nathan's face was all red.<br /> <br /> "No kidding! What's that even mean?" Winona added, looking all shook up.<br /> <br /> "Are you crazy? You're practically giving away your assets by doing this!" Lorelai was devastated.<br /> <br /> Isabella completely ignored the people behind her and focused on the man before her. "Sir, do you hear me? Marry me, and you will have a fortune in three years. It's a bargain."<br /> <br /> The man's clear gaze met hers, and he chuckled. "You know, guys usually do the proposing." His voice was low and sexy.<br /> <br /> Isabella was speechless, the crowd zipped it for a hot second, then split their sides laughing. They figured he ditched her.<br /> <br /> Nathan almost couldn't resist the urge to storm forward and kick Isabella. "Isabella! Get back here right now!"<br /> <br /> The man's low voice sounded right after Nathan finished his sentence. "I'll marry you."<br /> <br /> Complete silence ensued.<br /> <br /> "My name is Clayton Murray. I'm 28 years old and single. I work at Rayson International. Ms. Isabella Sorenson, will you marry me?" Clayton fixed his gaze upon Isabella.<br /> <br /> Tears fell from Isabella's big eyes. "Thank you! Yes, I will!"<br /> <br /> Inside, she's throwing high fives to luck. Finally, she could breathe. Didn't matter who he was as long as she was pulling herself out of the quicksand.<br /> <br /> And just like that, the crowd went wild.<br /> <br /> "Say what? That's Clayton Murray from Rayson International?" someone gasped.<br /> <br /> "Whoa, the legendary second son of the Murray family?" someone else hollered.<br /> <br /> "No way! I heard Clayton doesn't mix with ladies. Could this be a fake?" somebody wondered.<br /> <br /> "Bummer. Mr. Murray's like a ghostโnever seen in public or snapping selfies. How can we even know if it's really him?" another person pitched in.<br /> <br /> "He looks legit. I mean, who would have the guts to fake being Mr. Murray? Plus, dude's got charmโI hear the real Clayton's a looker," came a comment from the crowd.<br /> <br /> Isabella dried her eyes and spun around to face the stage crowd. "Just to be clearโZachary and I are done. We're out of each other's lives. Next up, I'm marryingโ"<br /> <br /> She had to check with Clayton because she blanked on his name.<br /> <br /> "Clayton." He gave her a small grin.<br /> <br /> "Yeah, Clayton!" Isabella said, staring them down without a wince.<br /> <br /> Nathan boomed, "Hold up; you're the Clayton Murray?"<br /> <br /> Clayton just gave a cool nod. "That's me."<br /> <br /> Terence's expression darkened. He glared at Zachary and Scarlett, thinking, 'It's all this little punk's fault!'<br /> <br /> Megan and Yvonne were stunned. 'How's he so drop-dead gorgeous?' they wondered incredulously.<br /> <br /> Clayton swept his glance across the stage. "You all must be Isabella's family. Sorry for taking the liberty to announce our marriage in this way today. I'll pay you a visit someday."<br /> <br /> After saying that, he turned around and linked arms with Isabella, his tone gentle as he spoke to her. "Let's go. What's going on here is none of our business."<br /> <br /> "Mr. Murray, don't be fooled by Isabella! Over the years, she has been a nuisance, trying all means to curry favor with Zach just to get married to him. A woman even Zach has abandoned doesn't deserve you!" Megan shouted eagerly. ''I won't let Isabella have such an excellent man all to herself! I'm better than her. Mr. Murray should marry me. Isabella is nothing compared to me!' she thought.<br /> <br /> "Yes, Mr. Murray. Please wait! Isabella hasn't gotten my dad's permission." Yvonne's soft voice was filled with anxiety. She wasn't as foolish and reckless as Megan, but she, too, wanted Clayton to herself. 'Everyone will think Clayton and Isabella are engaged if they leave like this. I won't allow this! Such an outstanding man should be mine,' she mused.<br /> <br /> "Dad, say something! How can you let Isabella leave like this? Mr. Winslow hasn't agreed to cancel the engagement yet!" Yvonne urged.<br /> <br /> Nathan met his beloved daughter's gaze and cleared his throat. "Isabella! Come back!"<br /> <br /> Terence and Lorelai exchanged glances before the latter shouted, "Isabella, stop messing around. Come back and let's talk things out."<br /> <br /> Isabella tightened her fists, and Clayton patted her on the arm as reassurance.<br /> <br /> He stopped, turned around, and glanced at the people on the stage. "Thank you, Mr. Zachary Winslow, for falling in love with someone else and giving Isabella to me."<br /> <br /> Everyone, including Isabella, looked at Clayton in surprise.<br /> <br /> Gazing at Clayton's side profile, Isabella thought, 'I'm so lucky today. This random man that I chose supports me without hesitation.'<br /> <br /> Clayton then looked at Nathan. "Mr. Ingram, do you have a problem with your daughter marrying me?"<br /> <br /> His voice was gentle and calm, but his domineering aura made Nathan flinch.<br /> <br /> "Zachary, my stomach hurts." An anguished voice rang out at that moment. Scarlett, grabbing Zachary, held her stomach and bent over in pain.<br /> <br /> "Scarlett, what's wrong?" The anxiety and concern in Zachary's voice were obvious.<br /> <br /> Isabella's gaze dimmed, and her heart ached when she saw how much Zachary cared for Scarlett. Lorelai and Terence looked at Scarlett furiously.<br /> <br /> Scarlett admitted timidly, "I-I have been pregnant for two months."<br /> <br /> "What? A-Are you pregnant with Zachary's child?" Lorelai was in shock.<br /> <br /> Scarlett nodded in pain. "Zachary, my stomach hurts."<br /> <br /> Zachary panicked and said, "T-Then, what should we do?" He didn't expect Scarlett to be pregnant. He looked at Isabella below the stage and averted his gaze upon noticing her tear-filled eyes.<br /> <br /> Chapter 4 Conspiracy<br /> "What are you still standing around for? Quick, get her to the hospital. The child's safety comes first," Lorelai said urgently, placing her future grandchild's well-being above all else.<br /> <br /> Clayton covered his mouth and stifled a chuckle. "Even in this situation, you still want your daughter to marry into a family like this, Mr. Ingram? What exactly do you hope to gain from the Winslow family?"<br /> <br /> His words caused a visible shift in everyone's expression.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Nathan's expression was grim.<br /> <br /> Marrying Isabella to Zachary was a strategic move for both families. However, if Clayton was willing to wed Isabella, he would become Nathan's son-in-law, with Rayson International as Nathan's backing.<br /> <br /> The value of one hundred Avid Ventures Real Estate paled in comparison to Rayson International. In the face of years of friendship and mutual benefits, Nathan was torn between loyalty and opportunity. He was a businessman, and he knew what he wanted.<br /> <br /> Clayton saw the calculative glint in Nathan's eyes, turned to Isabella, and softly inquired, "Shall we go?"<br /> <br /> Isabella tore her eyes away from Zachary and Scarlett, nodding gently.<br /> <br /> She visited the graves of her granddad and mother, George and Irina Sorenson, tenderly wiping their photos clean with a tissue.<br /> <br /> "I'm sorry, Granddad, Mom. Zachary and I are no longer together. Our marriage won't be happening," she murmured.<br /> <br /> Caressing Irina's photo on the tombstone, she couldn't control her tears. "I've tried to heed your advice, Mom, enduring everything. But now, I'm at my wit's end. I'm only 22 years old, still too young to take over the company with my current ability," she confessed.<br /> <br /> "I thought things would be fine once I got married, but now..." Isabella muffled her sobs with her hand, her body trembling as she knelt before the tombstone, curled into a small ball of grief.<br /> <br /> Since Irina's passing, Isabella had learned to endure silently through countless trials, enduring disdain from Nathan, Winona, and Yvonne. Growing up in a home that no longer felt like hers was a constant struggle, yet she clung to the hope that marrying Zachary would bring her freedom. She believed that everything would soon be fine.<br /> <br /> When Nathan told her about the engagement party that was about to be held, Isabella was overjoyed. They had planned to get married after her university graduation the following year, and once that happened, she'd finally be free.<br /> <br /> Zachary was the man she loved dearly, and she believed the union arranged by George and Irina must be the best course. After all, Zachary was the guardian angel George and Irina had chosen for her.<br /> <br /> Throughout her childhood, Zachary had been her constant companion, treating her with great care.<br /> <br /> George passed away when Isabella was just eight years old, followed by Irina when Isabella turned ten, enveloping her world in hues of gray.<br /> <br /> When Isabella turned twelve, Zachary left for his studies abroad.<br /> <br /> Tearfully, Isabella clung to his hand, reluctant to let him go, fearful of losing the sole connection she had left to George and Irina.<br /> <br /> She vividly recalled Zachary's promise as he held her hand and said, "Isabella, wait for me. I will come back and marry you when I'm grown up." Those words echoed constantly in her mind.<br /> <br /> Throughout the years, Isabella dedicated herself entirely to Zachary. She nurtured their relationship meticulously, treasuring their brief annual reunions, and worked tirelessly to mold herself into the person he admired, adapting to his preferences.<br /> <br /> Despite enduring ridicule, sarcasm, and insults from Megan and Yvonne, she clung to the belief that everything would be fine after she married Zachary.<br /> <br /> Marrying Zachary had been Isabella's primary motivation and ultimate goal throughout those years. Every future scenario she envisioned concluded with her union with Zachary.<br /> <br /> She firmly believed that marrying him would breathe new life into her existence, heralding a fresh chapter and a brighter future.<br /> <br /> Whenever she faced punishment and was locked in a dark room, whenever she suffered from hunger, whenever she faced difficulties, the mere thought of that envisioned future fueled her with boundless courage.<br /> <br /> Alas, that hope was shattered. The day she had dreamed of would never materialize. The envisioned future dissolved, leaving behind a shattered world. Isabella felt as though her heart had been torn from her chest, leaving behind an agonizing void.<br /> <br /> After a long while of weeping silently, Isabella raised her head, wiping away tears with trembling hands, and pledged, "Granddad, Mom, from now on, I'll live for myself. I'll do my best to not let you down." Despite the pain, she knew that life must persist, regardless of the circumstances.<br /> <br /> As Isabella left the cemetery, the sun had already descended below the horizon.<br /> <br /> Clayton's car waited silently by the gate, catching Isabella off guard. Stepping out of the vehicle, Clayton opened the passenger seat door for her. She said in a low voice as she settled into the seat, "Thank you."<br /> <br /> Clayton got back in the car and glanced at Isabella. Her eyes and nose were red, and she looked exhausted. "Let's find a place for you to rest," Clayton suggested.<br /> <br /> Isabella shook her head, recognizing the inevitability of confronting what lay ahead. "Mr. Murray, thanks for your help today," she croaked, her voice strained from emotion.<br /> <br /> Clayton started the car and asked, "Where do you want to go?"<br /> <br /> "Could you please drive me home?" Isabella requested softly.<br /> <br /> After confirming the address, Clayton fell into silence as Isabella leaned against the window, closing her eyes for the journey home.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, at the Ingram residence, Nathan, Winona, and Yvonne sat facing each other on the couch in solemn silence.<br /> <br /> Breaking the silence, Yvonne implored, "Dad, you can't allow Isabella to marry Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> Nathan, having deliberated the matter during his return journey, felt a disquieting unease despite acknowledging the potential benefits of Isabella's union with Clayton. When pressed by Yvonne, he couldn't help but raise his gaze to meet hers, questioning, "Why?"<br /> <br /> Yvonne hesitated, not knowing what to say, thinking, 'I can't say I should be the one to marry Mr. Murray, right?' She glanced at Winona.<br /> <br /> Winona, pouring a cup of coffee for Nathan, said with composure, "Nate, it's widely known that Isabella and Zachary have been engaged to each other since childhood. Considering her background, it's not suitable for her to wed into the Murray family. Won't they look down on her?"<br /> <br /> Chapter 5 Stirring Up Trouble<br /> Nathan furrowed his brow in response, stating, "That's her decision to make. If she chooses to marry Mr. Murray, and if the Murrays look down on her, she only has herself to blame."<br /> <br /> Winona exchanged a meaningful glance with Yvonne before continuing, "While that may be true, she's still your daughter. If there's talk about her outside, it inevitably reflects on us as well. That's not good."<br /> <br /> Winona looked up at Nathan, who listened intently. "I'm not her biological mother, so I have no authority to discipline her," she began. "As you can see, she rarely communicates with us these years and has her own ideas. What happened today was saddening. She humiliated you in front of everyone. It's one thing for her to disrespect me over the years, but the way she treated you today was unacceptable. Despite my efforts, she only acknowledges Irina as her mother, thinking that we owe her."<br /> <br /> Tears welled up in Winona's eyes as she sniffled. "I know what you're thinking. A marriage of convenience with the Murray family will benefit the company greatly. However, if Isabella doesn't stand by you, then..."<br /> <br /> Her words trailed off, but her meaning was clear.<br /> <br /> Yvonne's gaze flickered as she inwardly praised her mother's wisdom. "Exactly, Dad. We can't squander resources. Even if Isabella married into the Winslow family, there's no guaranteeing she'll put in a good word for you. Your partnership with Mr. Winslow has been smooth-sailing, and that's based on your friendship with him, not Isabella's involvement," Yvonne chimed in.<br /> <br /> Nathan suddenly realized what had been bothering him. Isabella's defiance had caught him off guard. He desired a compliant daughter, not one with her own convictions. He glanced at them, took a sip of coffee, and asked in a deep voice, "So, what do you guys suggest?"<br /> <br /> Winona and Yvonne exchanged a glance. Winona gently proposed, "Nate, we can't trust Isabella, but we can rely on Yvonne. She's our biological daughter."<br /> <br /> Nathan's focus shifted to Yvonne, who appeared bashful. "Mom, we're talking about Isabella. Why bring me up?"<br /> <br /> Winona's expression grew stern. "Yvonne, I'm serious. You're our daughter. You can't just enjoy the privileges your father provides. You must share his burden, understand?" she chided.<br /> <br /> Yvonne straightened up, raising her hand in a playful gesture. "Yes, Mom, I understand. I'll be there for Dad whenever he needs me," she vowed with a smile.<br /> <br /> Nathan was reassured by her promise. Nodding, he remarked, "Winona, you've raised her well. Isabella, on the other hand, is truly disappointing."<br /> <br /> Winona smiled faintly, "My hands are tied. Anything I say as her stepmother could easily be misinterpreted as having ulterior motives."<br /> <br /> "Hmph! It's because she doesn't know what's best for her," Nathan snorted. Then, he frowned. "Are you suggesting that Yvonne should marry into the Murray family?"<br /> <br /> Winona nodded, affirming, "We can trust Yvonne. She's our sweetheart."<br /> <br /> "But Yvonne is only twenty," Nathan voiced his concern. He had always cherished Yvonne and had never contemplated marrying her off at such a young age.<br /> <br /> Knowing that he was wavering, Winona smiled reassuringly, "So what if she's twenty? We can arrange for the marriage now and wait for Yvonne to graduate from university before holding the wedding. That doesn't make much difference."<br /> <br /> Nathan cradled his forehead, contemplating her proposal.<br /> <br /> "Dad, if it benefits our family, I'm in. Trust me; I'll try my best to ensure our family's prosperity," Yvonne declared resolutely, biting her lip as if determined to sacrifice herself for the family.<br /> <br /> Nathan eventually nodded in agreement, which put a smile on Yvonne's face.<br /> <br /> However, Winona intervened softly, "But, Nate, we're not acquainted with Mr. Murray. Perhaps we'll need Isabella to introduce us?"<br /> <br /> Yvonne was taken aback, immediately objecting, "Why should she introduce us? As we saw today, she asked Mr. Murray to marry her on the spur of the moment. Mr. Murray agreed as soon as she mentioned it. So, why can't we approach him directly?"<br /> <br /> Yvonne considered herself superior to Isabella. She mused inwardly, 'In terms of appearance and figure, I'm much better than that country bumpkin. Why should Isabella, who's inferior to me, get to marry such a perfect man? Since Mr. Murray agreed to Isabella's proposal, he'd agree to mine too.'<br /> <br /> Nathan thought her words made sense and pondered for a moment. "Well, how about we pay a visit to Rayson International tomorrow?"<br /> <br /> Outside the Ingram residence, Clayton parked the car and glanced at Isabella who was already asleep in the passenger seat.<br /> <br /> It should've been her engagement party that day. She wore a white knee-length dress, her pinned-up hair already disheveled, with several strands hanging down. Her delicate face appeared particularly pale. She didn't change much since childhood. As she jumped down from the stage, Clayton was struck by the pain and resolution reflected in her eyes.<br /> <br /> 'It seems like she's been struggling all these years,' Clayton thought, tenderly tucking her hair behind her ear.<br /> <br /> Isabella's long lashes quivered slightly as she stirred awake at his touch, momentarily confused upon seeing Clayton.<br /> <br /> "Are you awake?" Clayton asked gently.<br /> <br /> Isabella blinked, and the memories of what happened flooded back. She took a deep breath, attempting to quell the overwhelming pain pulsating through her veins.<br /> <br /> Gazing toward the Ingram residence, she was enveloped by a chilling coldness. This place had been her home, yet since the age of ten, she felt like a superfluous presence there.<br /> <br /> Previously, Zachary's presence had somewhat eased the void left by George and Irina. However, at present, she was all alone.<br /> <br /> The gate of the residence was like a gaping maw, ready to devour her and the legacy of George and Irina at any moment.<br /> <br /> "Do you need me to go in there with you?" Clayton asked softly, observing Isabella, who was staring into space.<br /> <br /> Isabella slowly shook her head. Staring directly ahead, she spoke to Clayton in a composed but distant manner. "Mr. Murray, can we make a deal? I need to leave this place now, but they won't allow me to rent a house independently. Our school's in the middle of renovations, and once the new semester kicks off, students like us who are in the senior year will have to find internship positions on our own, and we can no longer live in dorms. The only option left for me is to get married. Once I get married, I can leave for good."<br /> <br /> Clayton tightened his grip on the steering wheel.<br /> <br /> "I propose we marry, and I'll move into your residence. I'll reside there and pay you rent. If I face financial constraints, I'll provide you with a promissory note. I've mentioned that I'll inherit some assets after turning twenty-five. At that point, I'll settle all my debts to you. Then, we'll proceed with divorce proceedings, and I'll allocate half of the inheritance I receive to you as compensation for marrying me now," Isabella explained.<br /> <br /> Chapter 6 Realization<br /> Isabella declared resolutely, "I will draft a formal agreement stating our rights and responsibilities. Our union will only be a sham marriage. Should you happen to develop feelings for someone else during this time, I ask that you wait until we've been married for at least a year before seeking a divorce. I assure you, my commitment to our arrangement stands firm, and you will receive every cent of your compensation as promised. With this agreement in place, we can ensure fairness for both parties."<br /> <br /> Noticing a pen and paper tucked under the armrest, Isabella grabbed them, jotting down her phone number before passing it to Clayton. "Here is my contact information. Take your time to ponder my proposal; however, I expect your response within three days. Do not delay." With that, Isabella exited the car and left, leaving Clayton staring at the note in his hand blankly.<br /> <br /> Her decisiveness left Clayton momentarily stunned.<br /> <br /> He couldn't help chuckling as he watched Isabella walk away in determined strides. "Isabella, I'm back. I'll stand by your side no matter what you do," Clayton murmured, thinking, 'I'll let her do whatever she wants. Whatever happens, I'll clean up after her.' Even if she didn't know who he was, Nathan did. Nathan'd never dare to lay a hand on her.<br /> <br /> *****<br /> <br /> Dinner was served in a peaceful ambiance.<br /> <br /> "Ms. Sorenson, you've returned." One of the maids, Elsie Anderson, was surprised to see Isabella.<br /> <br /> Isabella paid no heed to the mix of surprise and disdain the other three were displaying. "Dad, Winona." Dipping her head, she greeted them before settling at the table, accepting the soup bowl offered by Elsie.<br /> <br /> She hadn't eaten anything since morning and was starving. Clayton had suggested taking her to dinner earlier, but she had declined. She would have to face this sooner or later, so why delay it?<br /> <br /> "Isabella, why are you only back now? Mom and Dad were too worried to eat," Yvonne said, sharing a meaningful glance with Winona.<br /> <br /> Nathan's expression darkened.<br /> <br /> Isabella finished her soup and put down the spoon. Disregarding the cold leftovers on the table, she explained, "I went to visit Grandpa and Mom. I needed to inform them that Zachary and I have called off our engagement."<br /> <br /> Nathan sneered, "And they didn't reprimand you?"<br /> <br /> Isabella lowered her head in silence.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, you've pissed your dad off today. How could you embarrass him in front of everyone?" Winona said softly.<br /> <br /> "Mom, don't blame Isabella. Remember, she's the eldest daughter of the Sorenson family and the designated heiress of Sorenson Multimedia. Dad wouldn't hold it against her. Who knows what those shareholders might say if he did?" Yvonne interjected, stealing glances at Nathan.<br /> <br /> Nathan's expression darkened further as his gaze bore into Isabella.<br /> <br /> Isabella quietly ate the food Elsie gave her. She had gotten used to such drama. Winona and Yvonne always sowed discord between her and Nathan. Then, endless insults would ensue that would sometimes escalate into physical abuse.<br /> <br /> She was a Sorenson, and her father was an Ingram. That was one of her sins.<br /> <br /> Nathan didn't lose his temper. Instead, he snorted derisively before leaving the dining room.<br /> <br /> Winona shot a glance and Yvonne and Isabella before following Nathan out.<br /> <br /> As soon as her parents left, Yvonne abandoned her facade of dignity. Casting a scornful glance at Isabella, who remained meek and reserved as always, she said sarcastically, "I'm amazed you still have the nerve to stay alive. If I were in your shoes, I'd have put an end to it all by now. Maybe flung myself into a river or hung myself. Anything's better than living like this. Your fiancรฉ despises you and cheats on you with your closest friend. Aren't you devastated? How do you even have an appetite?"<br /> <br /> After taking the final bite, Isabella met Yvonne's gaze with indifference. "I've found someone willing to wed me."<br /> <br /> Yvonne scoffed, "Wake up, will you? Do you honestly believe you're the eldest daughter of the Sorenson family?"<br /> <br /> Isabella merely looked at her coldly. Yvonne often carried herself with elegance and composure in public. Isabella was perhaps the only person who had seen her true colors.<br /> <br /> She thought, 'Does Yvonne ever get tired of pretending? I pretend to be indifferent and weak because Winona and Yvonne forced me to, but no one's forcing Yvonne. So why is she pretending?'<br /> <br /> "What're you looking at?" Yvonne bellowed at Isabella. Isabella's charming face never failed to anger her. 'Why does she get all the luck? A wealthy grandfather and mother, and even that envy-inducing face!' she seethed inwardly.<br /> <br /> Yvonne sent her plate hurtling toward Isabella.<br /> <br /> Isabella rose from her seat, narrowly dodging the plate as it crashed to the ground.<br /> <br /> "What's wrong?" Winona asked loudly.<br /> <br /> Yvonne glared at Isabella.<br /> <br /> Normally, Isabella would've quickly apologized to Winona, saying she had accidentally broken the plate. Yet, today, Isabella simply turned to face the incensed Yvonne in silence.<br /> <br /> Elsie interjected fearfully, "Mrs. Ingram, I'm sorry; I accidentally dropped a plate."<br /> <br /> Both Isabella and Yvonne looked at Elsie at the same time.<br /> <br /> Yvonne shot daggers at Elsie before exiting the dining room.<br /> <br /> Elsie tugged at Isabella's arm, whispering, "Ms. Sorenson, just endure it. This too shall pass."<br /> <br /> Endure. It was a mantra instilled in Isabella since childhood by Elsie and also what her late mother said to her. Today, however, she realized that enduring only made things worse.<br /> <br /> Isabella hurried to the bathroom, changing out of the dress and cleansing herself of the shame it carried. She then returned to her room on the second floor, a windowless storeroom bereft of sunlight year-round. She even had to use the maid's bathroom. Besides Elsie, no one would regard her as the family's eldest daughter.<br /> <br /> The luxurious room that her grandfather and mother decorated was handed over to Yvonne just a month after Winona and Yvonne's arrival. Isabella's living quarters changed each time she made a "mistake" until she found herself relegated to the storeroom, a decision that satisfied Winona and Yvonne at last.<br /> <br /> This was the consequence of endurance.<br /> <br /> Isabella curled up on the cramped bed, the air stifling and hot. The wind could only filter in when the door was opened. Yet, she didn't want to move, let alone open the door.<br /> <br /> Isabella closed her eyes, the events of the day replaying in her mind. She watched them unfold once more like a distant observer.<br /> <br /> The moment Zachary started dating Scarlett remained a mystery to her.<br /> <br /> Since Zachary's return from abroad, he started work in his family's company, leaving little opportunity for him and Isabella to spend time together. Isabella was never one to inconvenience others, so she never interrupted Zachary's work. Understanding his desire for a compliant girlfriend, she made every effort to fit that mold.<br /> <br /> Ever since Zachary returned, the two families celebrated festivals together, which Isabella enjoyed.<br /> <br /> Zachary didn't treat her poorly or particularly well, but he and Yvonne were tight. They got along well, even though Zachary used to dislike Yvonne as a kid.<br /> <br /> Chapter 7 Truth<br /> Today, Scarlett claimed Isabella had forgiven them, which was nonsense. Isabella didn't know anything about their affair.<br /> <br /> Isabella wondered, 'Why would she say that? Was it to make Zachary turn against me? If that's the case, it's obvious who played the video. However, Scarlett isn't stupid. There are so many ways to let me know, so why did she choose this one? Doing so will only cause her more harm than good. Oh, right, because doing so makes it seem like my handiwork. No one will suspect Scarlett of selling herself out. As for Zachary, he is always on Scarlett's side. He never admitted his mistake or apologized. He kept emphasizing that Scarlett is my good friend and that I should be nice to her. Zachary, am I being nice to her by letting you go? Why do you take everything I do for granted?'<br /> <br /> Isabella's heart ached as she recalled the tender look Zachary reserved for Scarlett.<br /> <br /> Zachary had never looked at her like that before. 'I'm just not worth his affection, huh?' she pondered.<br /> <br /> Lorelai's words hit Isabella like a sudden storm. Throughout the years, Lorelai treated Isabella well. Isabella once believed she was sincere and even vowed to take good care of Lorelai after the marriage.<br /> <br /> However, it turned out that Lorelai valued her social status and assets. That was probably her second original sin.<br /> <br /> Isabella held a significant 40% stake in Sorenson Multimedia, making her the company's largest shareholder. However, because of her youth, all the dividends from this ownership were directed into a trust established by her grandfather, which remained inaccessible until she reached the age of 25. She wouldn't receive her inheritance from her grandfather and mother until that time.<br /> <br /> Today, she finally realized that the Winslow family's acceptance of her wasn't based on genuine affection or sympathy for her loss of her mother. It also wasn't due to their acquaintance with her late mother and grandfather either. Instead, it was because of the assets she would eventually possess.<br /> <br /> They were kind to her because of her assets, and cruel to her for the same reason.<br /> <br /> Nathan had always been eyeing the property Isabella could inherit, especially because Yvonne didn't have any. When Isabella turned 18, Nathan deemed her old enough to handle her inheritance. He once pressured her to draft a document pledging half of the property to Yvonne. However, his plan was thwarted when the lawyer and four key company shareholders intervened.<br /> <br /> George and Irina foresaw the possibility of someone coveting the assets and therefore imposed an age restriction of 25. At 18, Isabella didn't have the authority to transfer her future assets.<br /> <br /> Nathan had married into the Sorenson family, so any child he had with Irina must carry the Sorenson name, while offspring from other relationships would not inherit this family name.<br /> <br /> Thus, Isabella was the only heiress of the Sorenson family.<br /> <br /> Furthermore, if Nathan decided to transfer his shares to Yvonne rather than Isabella, the four main investors would pull out their money from Sorenson Multimedia. The company had always been in the hands of the Sorenson family, and it would stay that way.<br /> <br /> If the major investors withdrew their support, the company would collapse, as Nathan's 30% stake alone wouldn't be enough to sustain it. Nathan's family eventually gave up on their plan.<br /> <br /> Instead of trying to butter Isabella up to get their way, they chose to resent her even more. Isabella couldn't help but admire them for that, for they didn't yield in the face of greed.<br /> <br /> Another way to access her wealth was by letting her marry Zachary.<br /> <br /> In this scenario, her property would serve as her dowry, to be shared with the Winslow family upon marriage. Given Isabella's infatuation with Zachary, she would likely agree to this arrangement. Consequently, Nathan collaborated with the Winslow family on various investment and development endeavors in recent years, aiming to reap the maximum benefits in due time.<br /> <br /> "Grandpa, Mom, 25 isn't a safe age either. If I were an idiot, I'd still be an idiot at 25 years old," Isabella murmured.<br /> <br /> Luckily, misfortune wasn't the only thing the heavens bestowed upon her. At least Zachary found his true love. She wondered if that had anything to do with divine intervention.<br /> <br /> Getting out of bed, she used a nearby book to fan herself.<br /> <br /> 'Time to draw up a contract for Clayton. If he's sensible, he'll agree to my terms,' she thought. Isabella needed to move out as soon as possible. She had neither the energy nor the mood to deal with Yvonne and Winona's tricks anymore.<br /> <br /> They wouldn't let her rent a place outside, because that would make it hard for them to control her. Also, that would bring disgrace upon the Sorenson family. The only escape route left was to get married.<br /> <br /> The identity of her partner hardly mattered, as long as he was a true gentleman. She would draft a pact, ensuring her safety and rights were protected. And in return, she would offer him the benefits he rightly deserved, for he would be her savior.<br /> <br /> She needed to find a place to settle down and focus on earning money, aiming to gather 300 thousand dollars within a year to finance her studies in Upria for the next five years. It wasn't much, but she could continue earning while studying.<br /> <br /> Her future needed replanning. This time, she was on her own, and she vowed to protect herself from harm.<br /> <br /> The next morning, Nathan took Yvonne to Rayson International. As they stood outside the towering structure, Yvonne was exhilarated.<br /> <br /> Amidst the bustling heart of the city, the building stood tall and majestic. The employees were in a hurry, but their demeanor radiated confidence and pride unmatched by those of other companies.<br /> <br /> A smile crept onto Yvonne's face as she envisioned herself as the owner of this impressive building and the wife of its esteemed boss, overseeing these elite professionals in the future.<br /> <br /> Clayton accepted the document from his assistant, Johnny Lawton, signing it before instructing, "Get in touch with Kayson and have him find a place for me near University of Moulmore. Something around 1,000 square feet, suitable for two people, and fully equipped with all the essentials."<br /> <br /> Johnny answered, "Okay."<br /> <br /> Seeing that Clayton was reading a contract, Johnny called Kayson.<br /> <br /> After a while, Kayson entered. "Boss, what do you think about Moonlight Apartment near University of Moulmore? It's just a ten-minute stroll from the campus, and boasts a thriving community with all the amenities you could need."<br /> <br /> Clayton thought for a moment, but the name didn't ring a bell. "Okay. Go ahead and purchase a unit."<br /> <br /> Kayson laughed, "Boss, that's our property. You reserved a suite for yourself on the 28th floor. I was wondering why you never brought it up again. Turns out you forgot."<br /> <br /> Johnny glared at him. "Cut the crap and get it sorted already."<br /> <br /> Clayton glanced at Kayson but remained silent. Kayson stuck out his tongue playfully, heading toward the door. "Boss, will you be living alone or will Mr. Maguire be joining you?"<br /> <br /> Without looking up, Clayton responded, "It'll be me and my wife."<br /> <br /> Chapter 8 Will You Marry Me Instead?<br /> Clayton continued working on the document while Johnny and Kayson stiffened. Johnny, usually collected, also stared at Clayton in disbelief.<br /> <br /> Kayson's mouth hung open. "Y-You and who, Boss?"<br /> <br /> Clayton glanced up at them, answering flatly, "My wife. Do you have a hearing problem?"<br /> <br /> Kayson gaped in shock at Clayton, who kept working, then turned to the equally dumbfounded Johnny.<br /> <br /> Another assistant, Weston Quinn, entered the office. "Mr. Murray, Mr. Nathan Ingram and his daughter are here to see you."<br /> <br /> Clayton didn't look up. "Did they make an appointment?"<br /> <br /> Weston shook his head. "No, but he mentioned Isabella Sorenson. Said you'd know right away."<br /> <br /> Clayton's head snapped up at once. "All right, bring them up."<br /> <br /> Weston was stunned, for he seemed to have caught a glimpse of a smile on Clayton's face.<br /> <br /> However, he blinked and thought his eyes must've been playing tricks. Noticing how Kayson was rooted in his spot, Weston presumed Kayson had been lectured again and hurriedly turned to leave.<br /> <br /> Clayton glimpsed at Kayson. "Why are you still here?"<br /> <br /> Kayson jolted out of his daze, murmuring, "T-This feels too surreal..."<br /> <br /> Clayton glanced at Johnny, who quickly composed himself, clenched his fists, and cleared his throat before saying, "This information is somewhat... unexpected. It's only normal that Kay needs a moment to process it, Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> Johnny then glared at Kayson. "What are you still waiting for? Go get it done."<br /> <br /> Promptly, Kayson exited the room, still looking thunderstruck.<br /> <br /> He had just shut the door when he saw Hendrix Henderson working in the personal assistants' office. "Hens, let me pinch you and see if it hurts!" Kayson reached for Hendrix's handsome face, but Hendrix swatted Kayson's hand away with a folder.<br /> <br /> "Oh, get lost. Pinch yourself." Hendrix scowled. "What's the matter with you this early in the morning? You got scolded again? You were in there for so long."<br /> <br /> Kayson retracted his throbbing hand in a heartbeat. "Ouch, that hurts! So this isn't a dream!"<br /> <br /> Hendrix rolled his eyes, used to how Kayson would act up at least a few times a day.<br /> <br /> All four of Clayton's personal assistants were men. Johnny had been with Clayton the longest and resembled Clayton most, as cold and aloof. Weston and Hendrix, while mostly reserved, still wore their emotions on their faces from time to time. As for Kayson, he was the lone constant jokester of the group.<br /> <br /> Kayson looked at Hendrix intently. "Do you have any idea what I was tasked with?"<br /> <br /> Hendrix couldn't be bothered to answer, knowing Kayson would continue talking regardless of whether there was any response.<br /> <br /> Kayson's Adam's apple bobbed. "Boss told me to buy him an apartment. He said it's for him and his wife."<br /> <br /> Hendrix's fingers that were flying over the keyboard froze. "Are you still half-asleep? You must've heard wrong, and so absurd at that. Watch yourself, or Johnny will come give you an earful!"<br /> <br /> Kayson snatched the folder from Hendrix and insisted, "It's true! Johnny is in there. He heard it too. Ask him if you don't believe me."<br /> <br /> Before Hendrix could reply, they spotted Weston leading Nathan and Yvonne over. Kayson's eyes widened at the sight of Yvonne while he nudged Hendrix.<br /> <br /> Hendrix looked over, thinking, 'My, isn't she a beauty? What's going on here? Could she be the "wife" that Boss was referring to?'<br /> <br /> Weston was perplexed when he caught sight of the duo's transfixed gazes. 'What's up with those two? Why do they look so stunned?' he wondered.<br /> <br /> Yvonne had been pumped up the moment she stepped into the lobby. The low-key yet lavish interior of Rayson International made the Sorenson Multimedia and the Winslow family's Avid Ventures Real Estate that she was familiar with seem like night and day.<br /> <br /> As she expected, meeting Clayton was no easy feat. Clayton never entertained visitors without appointments despite Nathan making his identity known.<br /> <br /> Luckily, Isabella's name had worked in their favor. 'Looks like he still remembers yesterday's incident. In that case, he will surely recognize me, too. The gown I wore was tailor-made and cost ten times more than Isabella's, practically making me the star of the event. There's no way he'll forget my pretty face,' she mused in glee.<br /> <br /> Yvonne's heart raced involuntarily when she saw Clayton's assistant coming to escort them upstairs. She thought giddily, 'My goodness, Weston's quite the looker. What a pity that he isn't pursuing a celebrity career.'<br /> <br /> They had taken the private elevator up to Clayton's office, where another two astonished yet dashing men stood by the entrance. Yvonne was beyond thrilled on the inside, confident they were amazed by her beauty. 'I knew it. No one will overlook my looks with Isabella absent. See, even Mr. Murray's assistants are mesmerized by me,' she pondered, brimming with confidence and anticipation.<br /> <br /> After Weston knocked on the door, a deep voice rang out from inside. "Come in."<br /> <br /> Weston opened the door and politely gestured for Nathan and Yvonne to enter. "Mr. and Ms. Ingram are here, Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> Clayton looked up, his gaze and voice turning cold as he questioned Weston, "Didn't you say Ms. Isabella Sorenson was here?"<br /> <br /> Weston turned quizzically to Nathan.<br /> <br /> Nathan was all smiles as he stepped forward eagerly. "Hello, Mr. Murray! I'm Nathan Ingram. Isabella's my daughter."<br /> <br /> Clayton did not get up or spare a glance at Nathan's extended hand. "Where's Isabella?"<br /> <br /> Nathan awkwardly retracted his hand. "Ah, Isabella. She's, uh..."<br /> <br /> "Mr. Murray, my sister wanted us to inform you that she can't marry you," Yvonne chimed in gently while staring at Clayton.<br /> <br /> Clayton arched an eyebrow at the father-daughter duo.<br /> <br /> Nathan clenched his fist at his side and said solemnly, "That's right. We've come to explain the situation. Isabella is already engaged, so she can't marry you. But I have anotherโ"<br /> <br /> "Mr. Ingram!" Clayton interrupted frigidly. "Hasn't it already been made clear to everyone yesterday? Isabella called off the engagement with her ex-fiancรฉ and asked me to marry her. If she wants to go back on her word, she'll have to tell me herself!"<br /> <br /> Nathan's face fell as it dawned on him that Clayton was serious about the marriage.<br /> <br /> Yvonne became anxious. "I don't think you understand, Mr. Murray. Her and Zachary's marriage contract is set in stone. It was personally arranged by her mother. Isabella can't call the shots!"<br /> <br /> Clayton leaned back, arms crossed. "Oh? How about me, then? Mr. Ingram, as I said yesterday, nobody has dared to stop me from doing anything I want. Have you forgotten that, or did you choose not to believe me?"<br /> <br /> Clayton stared at Nathan, who instinctively lowered his head in the face of Clayton's overwhelmingly imposing aura. A shiver ran down Nathan's spine. "O-Of course not, Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> "Then what are you doing here now?" Clayton's voice was utterly icy.<br /> <br /> Yvonne boldly met his eyes. "Mr. Murray, I'm Yvonne Ingram, 20 this year, currently a sophomore at the University of Moulmore, majoring in economics and management, and future heiress to Sorenson Multimedia. Will you marry me instead?" She had dressed to the nines to meet him today, convinced that she could catch his fancy. | Endless Stories | 206 | https://facebook.com/61555726498427 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

The young billionaire whispered with his hand grabbing Isabella's, who was in a wedding gown.<br /> "Do you need me to help you seek revenge? Whether it's the scumbag who betrayed you or your stepmother, they're nothing in front of me."<br /> Isabella looked at the handsome man in front of her and nodded.<br /> "Marry me, and we'll let them regret it for the rest of their lives."<br /> <br /> Chapter 1 Betrayal<br /> Up on the massive screen, a couple in their birthday suits were all tangled up, getting hot and heavy, and the surround sound was blasting every moan and breath.<br /> <br /> The lady had curves for days and her skin was mad smooth. Then there came a close-up of their faces.<br /> <br /> Isabella Sorenson was struck dumb, staring up at the screen, and she felt like she'd just been punched in the gut. The naked couple were none other than her main squeeze Zachary Winslow and her bestie Scarlett Pearson.<br /> <br /> And no joke, they were both right there next to her because today was supposed to be Isabella and Zachary's engagement party.<br /> <br /> Just a second before, that screen was showing cute throwbacks of Zachary and Isabella growing up together, while some dude was talking all mushy about it. It went from little Isabella at three to Zachary at seven, and then instead of more childhood pictures, the screen switched to the hookup video.<br /> <br /> "Ah!" Scarlett let out a scream and threw her arms around Zachary.<br /> <br /> Now, if anybody was still clueless about who were up on that screen, everything was out in the open. While Isabella was stuck on the spot, Zachary was hugging Scarlett.<br /> <br /> The whole place exploded with whispers and gasps.<br /> <br /> "Yo, ain't that Isabella's ride-or-die?" one guest whispered.<br /> <br /> "Seriously, Ms. Sorenson got played?" chimed in another.<br /> <br /> "Yo, check out that bod!" somebody else hollered.<br /> <br /> "What's going on?" Isabella's father, Nathan Ingram, was freaking out, trying to cover up the screen, but this screen was enormous. Though he was like pushing six feet, he looked straight-up silly trying to block it.<br /> <br /> Terence Winslow, Zachary's father, was beet red but he bolted toward the control room to turn off the screen.<br /> <br /> Scarlett, her eyes leaking like a faucet, hit Isabella with the puppy dog eyes. "Isabella, didn't you pinky swear to let this go? I promised I'd ditch Zachary and leave town the second you're engaged. Why you gotta blast this now? Are you trying to ruin me?"<br /> <br /> When Scarlett clung to Zachary, he looked kinda red-faced but went wide-eyed the second he heard what Scarlett said. Holding her firmly, he asked, "What are you saying, Scarlett? Isabella forced you to leave?"<br /> <br /> It was as if a bomb had detonated within Isabella's mind, leaving her stunned and disoriented. She stared blankly at Zachary, her childhood sweetheart. Ever since she could remember, Isabella had made up her mind to spend the rest of her life with Zachary.<br /> <br /> 'When did he and Scarlett become a thing? And when did I ever agree not to pursue this matter? What's going on here? What are they talking about?' Isabelle wondered.<br /> <br /> "How could you be so vicious, setting up your own fiancรฉ and best friend?" Zachary's sister, Megan Winslow, shoved Isabella on the shoulder.<br /> <br /> Isabella, in a daze, didn't see that coming and staggered backward until she ended up right beside Nathan.<br /> <br /> Nathan was filled with fury. Raising his hand, he slapped her in the face. "Look at what you've done! You've brought disgrace upon both our families!"<br /> <br /> Before Isabella could even regain her balance, she was knocked to the ground by the slap. Zachary grew anxious and instinctively wanted to help her up, but Scarlett tightened her grip on his arm.<br /> <br /> Isabella turned and caught a glance of the smugness in Scarlett's eyes.<br /> <br /> "How can you hit your child? Come on, get up, Isabella." A voice was heard as a pair of hands helped Isabella to her feet.<br /> <br /> Terence sighed, "Isabella, don't blame your father. What you did was really out of line."<br /> <br /> Lorelai Winslow, Zachary's mother, pointed at Scarlett and said, "Where did you come from? You must have seduced my son. Get out of here! I'll never let you become part of our family!"<br /> <br /> Scarlett hid behind Zachary like a scared puppy.<br /> <br /> Zachary positioned himself protectively in front of Scarlett, his voice firm as he addressed his mother. "Mom, don't blame Scarlett. Isabella, she's your best friend. You can't push her to the brink like this!"<br /> <br /> With Terence's support, Isabella finally got back to her feet. A solitary tear traced its path down her cheek. As she gazed up at Zachary, the man she had loved for most of her life, she realized he had become a stranger in the blink of an eye.<br /> <br /> 'Scarlett's supposed to be my best friend. He knows that. They play me and now it's my bad?' she thought.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, I can't even with you. Zach, how can you tie the knot with her? After you're hitched, who knows what stories she'll spin? Can't trust her. Not one bit!" Megan was throwing shade at Isabella before turning to Zachary, all concerned.<br /> <br /> Megan had been in the same class as Isabella back in high school, but they never really hit it off. Megan always teamed up with Yvonne Ingram to give Isabella a hard time. Plus, Megan detested the idea of Isabella becoming part of her family.<br /> <br /> "Zip it! Isabella is the eldest daughter of the esteemed Sorenson family. And who's that chick? Does she possess the same standing as Isabella? How could the Winslow family be cool with letting just anyone in?" Lorelai snapped off, not realizing she was pretty loud.<br /> <br /> Lorelai wasn't Isabella's number one fan, but she was all about that social ladder. Having Isabella marry in was like a major level-up for Zachary. No other high-class family had a daughter that could touch Isabella's status. Plus, Isabella was the kind of person one could sway pretty easy.<br /> <br /> So yeah, Lorelai had to make it crystal clearโthey couldn't let Isabella slip away.<br /> <br /> At first, Isabella kind of felt thankful to her future mother-in-law for stepping up, but then it hit her why she really did it.<br /> <br /> "Yes! Isabella, you're the eldest daughter of the Sorenson family. You should consider the reputations of the Sorenson family, the Ingram family, and the Winslow family before doing this!" Yvonne chimed in, looking all stressed.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, you've just crushed your dad. His heart's in pieces," Winona said, sounding all sweet but sad.<br /> <br /> Winona and Yvonne dropping those lines just made Nathan and Terence pull grumpier faces. 'She's gotta grow up. Can't be airing our dirty laundry like this!' they thought.<br /> <br /> Chapter 2 Proposal<br /> Isabella looked at the people around her.<br /> <br /> Her father, Nathan, was boiling mad.<br /> <br /> Her stepmother, Winona, and her half-sister, Yvonne, were getting a kick out of the drama.<br /> <br /> Her future father-in-law Terence was just shaking his head, and future mother-in-law Lorelai was cringing.<br /> <br /> Her would-be sister-in-law Megan was glaring holes through her.<br /> <br /> Her fiancรฉ, Zachary, didn't know what to do. In his arms was the pitiful woman, Scarlett, who was once her best friend.<br /> <br /> These folks were Isabella's whole world. And just like that, the world flipped, leaving Isabella as the one everyone was pointing fingers at.<br /> <br /> Isabella brushed away the tears and said lightly, "I hereby announce that Zachary Winslow and Isabella Sorenson's marriage contract has been canceled. We have nothing to do with each other from now on. I wish you happiness!" Then she bounced off the stage.<br /> <br /> Her dad Nathan jumped in, "Hold up, you think it's just up to you? You and Zachary were a done deal before you were even a twinkle. Don't even try to ditch this without my say-so!" Nathan had always been tough on Isabella, mostly because having Isabella around was a constant reminder that he was kind of a live-in son-in-law and his kids had to take their mom's last name. Big-time embarrassment for a guy who made it big.<br /> <br /> "And Isabella, cool it, will ya? Zachary messed up, and we'll make him say sorry. This marriage thing wasn't just your call, it's our families' deal. Don't go and have a meltdown. I got your back," Terence tried to smooth things over.<br /> <br /> Then he whirled around and snapped at Zachary, "Zachary! Drop that girl already!"<br /> <br /> Zachary looked like he didn't know what hit him.<br /> <br /> Scarlett, all tears and drama, shoved Zachary away. "Go after Isabella, Zachary. My bad, it's all on me. I'm no match for Isabella. I'm sorry, Isabella. Forgive me, okay? Don't go."<br /> <br /> Zachary just stood there, silent as a ghost.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, hold it! Are you deaf?" Nathan was beside himself with rage. He thought, 'She's always done what I said, like a perfect little robot. Why's she ignoring orders today?'<br /> <br /> Isabella stopped cold, her hands balled into fists so tight they hurt. She spun around to face Nathan.<br /> <br /> Now Nathan got real. "Come on, it's nothing. Why you making a big deal? Zachary and his folks are cool now. What more do you need? Who else would deal with your drama? You gotta see where your bread's buttered!"<br /> <br /> Isabella just felt this chill and said real slow, "He deserves better than me. I'll find someone else, no biggie."<br /> <br /> Nathan lost it, "Who else would even look at you?"<br /> <br /> But Isabella, she didn't even flinch. Shoulders back, head high, she walked right out the door.<br /> <br /> The crowd was eating up the drama like it was prime-time TV.<br /> <br /> Zachary and Isabella's engagement was like the hot gossip among the rich folks. Their families were tight, and with Isabella and Zachary set to tie the knot, the business was booming.<br /> <br /> The engagement party was just for show. They were heading for the altar anyway. But then, the plot thickened like in a soap opera.<br /> <br /> Zachary did Isabella dirty with her own bestie. Feeling burned, Isabella put them on blast right there in front of everyone.<br /> <br /> Instead of feeling sorry for her, people were ragging on Isabella. She was pretty shaken up when she realized that nobody seemed to care about her side of the story. But could she really get mad when her own dad dissed her too?<br /> <br /> Isabella stepped down from the stage and nearly took a spill in her killer heels. Just in time, one guy reached out and saved her from a faceplant.<br /> <br /> "Thanks," Isabella mumbled, looking down.<br /> <br /> A chill voice came from up top, "Watch your step."<br /> <br /> Isabella regained her balance, raised her head, and met a pair of deep, calm eyes. She was momentarily stunned, charmed by the handsome face before her. This guy was something elseโstrong brows, dark blue eyes, the works. He was all smiles and chill vibes.<br /> <br /> She took a breath and laid it all out there, completely honest. "Hi! Are you single?"<br /> <br /> He was stunned but nodded.<br /> <br /> Ignoring the crowd's shocked gasps, Isabella was like, "I'm Isabella Sorenson, 22, still in college at University of Moulmore. I have 40% shares in Sorenson Multimedia and will inherit all the inheritance left by my granddad and mom when I turn 25. But for now, I'm penniless. I need to marry someone. You in?"<br /> <br /> Isabella locked eyes with the guy. She was ticked off for sure, but she didn't give a flip. Her life's been no cakewalk. She fell hard for Zachary, and he didn't even say 'my bad' for stabbing her in the back.<br /> <br /> Her mom's parting advice to Isabella was to play it cool, to roll with the punches. For years, she put up with the drama and what'd she get? Zilch, just a slap in the face and zero backup.<br /> <br /> Isabella thought, 'I'd rather throw the baby out with the bathwater at this point. They're all drooling over my wealth and gearing up to rip me off, right? Fine! I'll marry someone random and not give them a dime!'<br /> <br /> Then, like clockwork, someone in the peanut gallery was like, "Holy cow! Did Isabella just lose it? What's she yapping about now? Poor Zachary."<br /> <br /> "Totally shameless! Just grabs a guy and pops the question? And after Zachary's folks bent over backwards to get her to forgive him!" added another voice.<br /> <br /> Chapter 3 It Is Him<br /> Isabella stood next to the stage, and everybody caught every word she said. Nathan, Terence, and the crowd beelined to her.<br /> <br /> "Isabella Sorenson! Have you flipped your lid?" Nathan's face was all red.<br /> <br /> "No kidding! What's that even mean?" Winona added, looking all shook up.<br /> <br /> "Are you crazy? You're practically giving away your assets by doing this!" Lorelai was devastated.<br /> <br /> Isabella completely ignored the people behind her and focused on the man before her. "Sir, do you hear me? Marry me, and you will have a fortune in three years. It's a bargain."<br /> <br /> The man's clear gaze met hers, and he chuckled. "You know, guys usually do the proposing." His voice was low and sexy.<br /> <br /> Isabella was speechless, the crowd zipped it for a hot second, then split their sides laughing. They figured he ditched her.<br /> <br /> Nathan almost couldn't resist the urge to storm forward and kick Isabella. "Isabella! Get back here right now!"<br /> <br /> The man's low voice sounded right after Nathan finished his sentence. "I'll marry you."<br /> <br /> Complete silence ensued.<br /> <br /> "My name is Clayton Murray. I'm 28 years old and single. I work at Rayson International. Ms. Isabella Sorenson, will you marry me?" Clayton fixed his gaze upon Isabella.<br /> <br /> Tears fell from Isabella's big eyes. "Thank you! Yes, I will!"<br /> <br /> Inside, she's throwing high fives to luck. Finally, she could breathe. Didn't matter who he was as long as she was pulling herself out of the quicksand.<br /> <br /> And just like that, the crowd went wild.<br /> <br /> "Say what? That's Clayton Murray from Rayson International?" someone gasped.<br /> <br /> "Whoa, the legendary second son of the Murray family?" someone else hollered.<br /> <br /> "No way! I heard Clayton doesn't mix with ladies. Could this be a fake?" somebody wondered.<br /> <br /> "Bummer. Mr. Murray's like a ghostโnever seen in public or snapping selfies. How can we even know if it's really him?" another person pitched in.<br /> <br /> "He looks legit. I mean, who would have the guts to fake being Mr. Murray? Plus, dude's got charmโI hear the real Clayton's a looker," came a comment from the crowd.<br /> <br /> Isabella dried her eyes and spun around to face the stage crowd. "Just to be clearโZachary and I are done. We're out of each other's lives. Next up, I'm marryingโ"<br /> <br /> She had to check with Clayton because she blanked on his name.<br /> <br /> "Clayton." He gave her a small grin.<br /> <br /> "Yeah, Clayton!" Isabella said, staring them down without a wince.<br /> <br /> Nathan boomed, "Hold up; you're the Clayton Murray?"<br /> <br /> Clayton just gave a cool nod. "That's me."<br /> <br /> Terence's expression darkened. He glared at Zachary and Scarlett, thinking, 'It's all this little punk's fault!'<br /> <br /> Megan and Yvonne were stunned. 'How's he so drop-dead gorgeous?' they wondered incredulously.<br /> <br /> Clayton swept his glance across the stage. "You all must be Isabella's family. Sorry for taking the liberty to announce our marriage in this way today. I'll pay you a visit someday."<br /> <br /> After saying that, he turned around and linked arms with Isabella, his tone gentle as he spoke to her. "Let's go. What's going on here is none of our business."<br /> <br /> "Mr. Murray, don't be fooled by Isabella! Over the years, she has been a nuisance, trying all means to curry favor with Zach just to get married to him. A woman even Zach has abandoned doesn't deserve you!" Megan shouted eagerly. ''I won't let Isabella have such an excellent man all to herself! I'm better than her. Mr. Murray should marry me. Isabella is nothing compared to me!' she thought.<br /> <br /> "Yes, Mr. Murray. Please wait! Isabella hasn't gotten my dad's permission." Yvonne's soft voice was filled with anxiety. She wasn't as foolish and reckless as Megan, but she, too, wanted Clayton to herself. 'Everyone will think Clayton and Isabella are engaged if they leave like this. I won't allow this! Such an outstanding man should be mine,' she mused.<br /> <br /> "Dad, say something! How can you let Isabella leave like this? Mr. Winslow hasn't agreed to cancel the engagement yet!" Yvonne urged.<br /> <br /> Nathan met his beloved daughter's gaze and cleared his throat. "Isabella! Come back!"<br /> <br /> Terence and Lorelai exchanged glances before the latter shouted, "Isabella, stop messing around. Come back and let's talk things out."<br /> <br /> Isabella tightened her fists, and Clayton patted her on the arm as reassurance.<br /> <br /> He stopped, turned around, and glanced at the people on the stage. "Thank you, Mr. Zachary Winslow, for falling in love with someone else and giving Isabella to me."<br /> <br /> Everyone, including Isabella, looked at Clayton in surprise.<br /> <br /> Gazing at Clayton's side profile, Isabella thought, 'I'm so lucky today. This random man that I chose supports me without hesitation.'<br /> <br /> Clayton then looked at Nathan. "Mr. Ingram, do you have a problem with your daughter marrying me?"<br /> <br /> His voice was gentle and calm, but his domineering aura made Nathan flinch.<br /> <br /> "Zachary, my stomach hurts." An anguished voice rang out at that moment. Scarlett, grabbing Zachary, held her stomach and bent over in pain.<br /> <br /> "Scarlett, what's wrong?" The anxiety and concern in Zachary's voice were obvious.<br /> <br /> Isabella's gaze dimmed, and her heart ached when she saw how much Zachary cared for Scarlett. Lorelai and Terence looked at Scarlett furiously.<br /> <br /> Scarlett admitted timidly, "I-I have been pregnant for two months."<br /> <br /> "What? A-Are you pregnant with Zachary's child?" Lorelai was in shock.<br /> <br /> Scarlett nodded in pain. "Zachary, my stomach hurts."<br /> <br /> Zachary panicked and said, "T-Then, what should we do?" He didn't expect Scarlett to be pregnant. He looked at Isabella below the stage and averted his gaze upon noticing her tear-filled eyes.<br /> <br /> Chapter 4 Conspiracy<br /> "What are you still standing around for? Quick, get her to the hospital. The child's safety comes first," Lorelai said urgently, placing her future grandchild's well-being above all else.<br /> <br /> Clayton covered his mouth and stifled a chuckle. "Even in this situation, you still want your daughter to marry into a family like this, Mr. Ingram? What exactly do you hope to gain from the Winslow family?"<br /> <br /> His words caused a visible shift in everyone's expression.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Nathan's expression was grim.<br /> <br /> Marrying Isabella to Zachary was a strategic move for both families. However, if Clayton was willing to wed Isabella, he would become Nathan's son-in-law, with Rayson International as Nathan's backing.<br /> <br /> The value of one hundred Avid Ventures Real Estate paled in comparison to Rayson International. In the face of years of friendship and mutual benefits, Nathan was torn between loyalty and opportunity. He was a businessman, and he knew what he wanted.<br /> <br /> Clayton saw the calculative glint in Nathan's eyes, turned to Isabella, and softly inquired, "Shall we go?"<br /> <br /> Isabella tore her eyes away from Zachary and Scarlett, nodding gently.<br /> <br /> She visited the graves of her granddad and mother, George and Irina Sorenson, tenderly wiping their photos clean with a tissue.<br /> <br /> "I'm sorry, Granddad, Mom. Zachary and I are no longer together. Our marriage won't be happening," she murmured.<br /> <br /> Caressing Irina's photo on the tombstone, she couldn't control her tears. "I've tried to heed your advice, Mom, enduring everything. But now, I'm at my wit's end. I'm only 22 years old, still too young to take over the company with my current ability," she confessed.<br /> <br /> "I thought things would be fine once I got married, but now..." Isabella muffled her sobs with her hand, her body trembling as she knelt before the tombstone, curled into a small ball of grief.<br /> <br /> Since Irina's passing, Isabella had learned to endure silently through countless trials, enduring disdain from Nathan, Winona, and Yvonne. Growing up in a home that no longer felt like hers was a constant struggle, yet she clung to the hope that marrying Zachary would bring her freedom. She believed that everything would soon be fine.<br /> <br /> When Nathan told her about the engagement party that was about to be held, Isabella was overjoyed. They had planned to get married after her university graduation the following year, and once that happened, she'd finally be free.<br /> <br /> Zachary was the man she loved dearly, and she believed the union arranged by George and Irina must be the best course. After all, Zachary was the guardian angel George and Irina had chosen for her.<br /> <br /> Throughout her childhood, Zachary had been her constant companion, treating her with great care.<br /> <br /> George passed away when Isabella was just eight years old, followed by Irina when Isabella turned ten, enveloping her world in hues of gray.<br /> <br /> When Isabella turned twelve, Zachary left for his studies abroad.<br /> <br /> Tearfully, Isabella clung to his hand, reluctant to let him go, fearful of losing the sole connection she had left to George and Irina.<br /> <br /> She vividly recalled Zachary's promise as he held her hand and said, "Isabella, wait for me. I will come back and marry you when I'm grown up." Those words echoed constantly in her mind.<br /> <br /> Throughout the years, Isabella dedicated herself entirely to Zachary. She nurtured their relationship meticulously, treasuring their brief annual reunions, and worked tirelessly to mold herself into the person he admired, adapting to his preferences.<br /> <br /> Despite enduring ridicule, sarcasm, and insults from Megan and Yvonne, she clung to the belief that everything would be fine after she married Zachary.<br /> <br /> Marrying Zachary had been Isabella's primary motivation and ultimate goal throughout those years. Every future scenario she envisioned concluded with her union with Zachary.<br /> <br /> She firmly believed that marrying him would breathe new life into her existence, heralding a fresh chapter and a brighter future.<br /> <br /> Whenever she faced punishment and was locked in a dark room, whenever she suffered from hunger, whenever she faced difficulties, the mere thought of that envisioned future fueled her with boundless courage.<br /> <br /> Alas, that hope was shattered. The day she had dreamed of would never materialize. The envisioned future dissolved, leaving behind a shattered world. Isabella felt as though her heart had been torn from her chest, leaving behind an agonizing void.<br /> <br /> After a long while of weeping silently, Isabella raised her head, wiping away tears with trembling hands, and pledged, "Granddad, Mom, from now on, I'll live for myself. I'll do my best to not let you down." Despite the pain, she knew that life must persist, regardless of the circumstances.<br /> <br /> As Isabella left the cemetery, the sun had already descended below the horizon.<br /> <br /> Clayton's car waited silently by the gate, catching Isabella off guard. Stepping out of the vehicle, Clayton opened the passenger seat door for her. She said in a low voice as she settled into the seat, "Thank you."<br /> <br /> Clayton got back in the car and glanced at Isabella. Her eyes and nose were red, and she looked exhausted. "Let's find a place for you to rest," Clayton suggested.<br /> <br /> Isabella shook her head, recognizing the inevitability of confronting what lay ahead. "Mr. Murray, thanks for your help today," she croaked, her voice strained from emotion.<br /> <br /> Clayton started the car and asked, "Where do you want to go?"<br /> <br /> "Could you please drive me home?" Isabella requested softly.<br /> <br /> After confirming the address, Clayton fell into silence as Isabella leaned against the window, closing her eyes for the journey home.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, at the Ingram residence, Nathan, Winona, and Yvonne sat facing each other on the couch in solemn silence.<br /> <br /> Breaking the silence, Yvonne implored, "Dad, you can't allow Isabella to marry Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> Nathan, having deliberated the matter during his return journey, felt a disquieting unease despite acknowledging the potential benefits of Isabella's union with Clayton. When pressed by Yvonne, he couldn't help but raise his gaze to meet hers, questioning, "Why?"<br /> <br /> Yvonne hesitated, not knowing what to say, thinking, 'I can't say I should be the one to marry Mr. Murray, right?' She glanced at Winona.<br /> <br /> Winona, pouring a cup of coffee for Nathan, said with composure, "Nate, it's widely known that Isabella and Zachary have been engaged to each other since childhood. Considering her background, it's not suitable for her to wed into the Murray family. Won't they look down on her?"<br /> <br /> Chapter 5 Stirring Up Trouble<br /> Nathan furrowed his brow in response, stating, "That's her decision to make. If she chooses to marry Mr. Murray, and if the Murrays look down on her, she only has herself to blame."<br /> <br /> Winona exchanged a meaningful glance with Yvonne before continuing, "While that may be true, she's still your daughter. If there's talk about her outside, it inevitably reflects on us as well. That's not good."<br /> <br /> Winona looked up at Nathan, who listened intently. "I'm not her biological mother, so I have no authority to discipline her," she began. "As you can see, she rarely communicates with us these years and has her own ideas. What happened today was saddening. She humiliated you in front of everyone. It's one thing for her to disrespect me over the years, but the way she treated you today was unacceptable. Despite my efforts, she only acknowledges Irina as her mother, thinking that we owe her."<br /> <br /> Tears welled up in Winona's eyes as she sniffled. "I know what you're thinking. A marriage of convenience with the Murray family will benefit the company greatly. However, if Isabella doesn't stand by you, then..."<br /> <br /> Her words trailed off, but her meaning was clear.<br /> <br /> Yvonne's gaze flickered as she inwardly praised her mother's wisdom. "Exactly, Dad. We can't squander resources. Even if Isabella married into the Winslow family, there's no guaranteeing she'll put in a good word for you. Your partnership with Mr. Winslow has been smooth-sailing, and that's based on your friendship with him, not Isabella's involvement," Yvonne chimed in.<br /> <br /> Nathan suddenly realized what had been bothering him. Isabella's defiance had caught him off guard. He desired a compliant daughter, not one with her own convictions. He glanced at them, took a sip of coffee, and asked in a deep voice, "So, what do you guys suggest?"<br /> <br /> Winona and Yvonne exchanged a glance. Winona gently proposed, "Nate, we can't trust Isabella, but we can rely on Yvonne. She's our biological daughter."<br /> <br /> Nathan's focus shifted to Yvonne, who appeared bashful. "Mom, we're talking about Isabella. Why bring me up?"<br /> <br /> Winona's expression grew stern. "Yvonne, I'm serious. You're our daughter. You can't just enjoy the privileges your father provides. You must share his burden, understand?" she chided.<br /> <br /> Yvonne straightened up, raising her hand in a playful gesture. "Yes, Mom, I understand. I'll be there for Dad whenever he needs me," she vowed with a smile.<br /> <br /> Nathan was reassured by her promise. Nodding, he remarked, "Winona, you've raised her well. Isabella, on the other hand, is truly disappointing."<br /> <br /> Winona smiled faintly, "My hands are tied. Anything I say as her stepmother could easily be misinterpreted as having ulterior motives."<br /> <br /> "Hmph! It's because she doesn't know what's best for her," Nathan snorted. Then, he frowned. "Are you suggesting that Yvonne should marry into the Murray family?"<br /> <br /> Winona nodded, affirming, "We can trust Yvonne. She's our sweetheart."<br /> <br /> "But Yvonne is only twenty," Nathan voiced his concern. He had always cherished Yvonne and had never contemplated marrying her off at such a young age.<br /> <br /> Knowing that he was wavering, Winona smiled reassuringly, "So what if she's twenty? We can arrange for the marriage now and wait for Yvonne to graduate from university before holding the wedding. That doesn't make much difference."<br /> <br /> Nathan cradled his forehead, contemplating her proposal.<br /> <br /> "Dad, if it benefits our family, I'm in. Trust me; I'll try my best to ensure our family's prosperity," Yvonne declared resolutely, biting her lip as if determined to sacrifice herself for the family.<br /> <br /> Nathan eventually nodded in agreement, which put a smile on Yvonne's face.<br /> <br /> However, Winona intervened softly, "But, Nate, we're not acquainted with Mr. Murray. Perhaps we'll need Isabella to introduce us?"<br /> <br /> Yvonne was taken aback, immediately objecting, "Why should she introduce us? As we saw today, she asked Mr. Murray to marry her on the spur of the moment. Mr. Murray agreed as soon as she mentioned it. So, why can't we approach him directly?"<br /> <br /> Yvonne considered herself superior to Isabella. She mused inwardly, 'In terms of appearance and figure, I'm much better than that country bumpkin. Why should Isabella, who's inferior to me, get to marry such a perfect man? Since Mr. Murray agreed to Isabella's proposal, he'd agree to mine too.'<br /> <br /> Nathan thought her words made sense and pondered for a moment. "Well, how about we pay a visit to Rayson International tomorrow?"<br /> <br /> Outside the Ingram residence, Clayton parked the car and glanced at Isabella who was already asleep in the passenger seat.<br /> <br /> It should've been her engagement party that day. She wore a white knee-length dress, her pinned-up hair already disheveled, with several strands hanging down. Her delicate face appeared particularly pale. She didn't change much since childhood. As she jumped down from the stage, Clayton was struck by the pain and resolution reflected in her eyes.<br /> <br /> 'It seems like she's been struggling all these years,' Clayton thought, tenderly tucking her hair behind her ear.<br /> <br /> Isabella's long lashes quivered slightly as she stirred awake at his touch, momentarily confused upon seeing Clayton.<br /> <br /> "Are you awake?" Clayton asked gently.<br /> <br /> Isabella blinked, and the memories of what happened flooded back. She took a deep breath, attempting to quell the overwhelming pain pulsating through her veins.<br /> <br /> Gazing toward the Ingram residence, she was enveloped by a chilling coldness. This place had been her home, yet since the age of ten, she felt like a superfluous presence there.<br /> <br /> Previously, Zachary's presence had somewhat eased the void left by George and Irina. However, at present, she was all alone.<br /> <br /> The gate of the residence was like a gaping maw, ready to devour her and the legacy of George and Irina at any moment.<br /> <br /> "Do you need me to go in there with you?" Clayton asked softly, observing Isabella, who was staring into space.<br /> <br /> Isabella slowly shook her head. Staring directly ahead, she spoke to Clayton in a composed but distant manner. "Mr. Murray, can we make a deal? I need to leave this place now, but they won't allow me to rent a house independently. Our school's in the middle of renovations, and once the new semester kicks off, students like us who are in the senior year will have to find internship positions on our own, and we can no longer live in dorms. The only option left for me is to get married. Once I get married, I can leave for good."<br /> <br /> Clayton tightened his grip on the steering wheel.<br /> <br /> "I propose we marry, and I'll move into your residence. I'll reside there and pay you rent. If I face financial constraints, I'll provide you with a promissory note. I've mentioned that I'll inherit some assets after turning twenty-five. At that point, I'll settle all my debts to you. Then, we'll proceed with divorce proceedings, and I'll allocate half of the inheritance I receive to you as compensation for marrying me now," Isabella explained.<br /> <br /> Chapter 6 Realization<br /> Isabella declared resolutely, "I will draft a formal agreement stating our rights and responsibilities. Our union will only be a sham marriage. Should you happen to develop feelings for someone else during this time, I ask that you wait until we've been married for at least a year before seeking a divorce. I assure you, my commitment to our arrangement stands firm, and you will receive every cent of your compensation as promised. With this agreement in place, we can ensure fairness for both parties."<br /> <br /> Noticing a pen and paper tucked under the armrest, Isabella grabbed them, jotting down her phone number before passing it to Clayton. "Here is my contact information. Take your time to ponder my proposal; however, I expect your response within three days. Do not delay." With that, Isabella exited the car and left, leaving Clayton staring at the note in his hand blankly.<br /> <br /> Her decisiveness left Clayton momentarily stunned.<br /> <br /> He couldn't help chuckling as he watched Isabella walk away in determined strides. "Isabella, I'm back. I'll stand by your side no matter what you do," Clayton murmured, thinking, 'I'll let her do whatever she wants. Whatever happens, I'll clean up after her.' Even if she didn't know who he was, Nathan did. Nathan'd never dare to lay a hand on her.<br /> <br /> *****<br /> <br /> Dinner was served in a peaceful ambiance.<br /> <br /> "Ms. Sorenson, you've returned." One of the maids, Elsie Anderson, was surprised to see Isabella.<br /> <br /> Isabella paid no heed to the mix of surprise and disdain the other three were displaying. "Dad, Winona." Dipping her head, she greeted them before settling at the table, accepting the soup bowl offered by Elsie.<br /> <br /> She hadn't eaten anything since morning and was starving. Clayton had suggested taking her to dinner earlier, but she had declined. She would have to face this sooner or later, so why delay it?<br /> <br /> "Isabella, why are you only back now? Mom and Dad were too worried to eat," Yvonne said, sharing a meaningful glance with Winona.<br /> <br /> Nathan's expression darkened.<br /> <br /> Isabella finished her soup and put down the spoon. Disregarding the cold leftovers on the table, she explained, "I went to visit Grandpa and Mom. I needed to inform them that Zachary and I have called off our engagement."<br /> <br /> Nathan sneered, "And they didn't reprimand you?"<br /> <br /> Isabella lowered her head in silence.<br /> <br /> "Isabella, you've pissed your dad off today. How could you embarrass him in front of everyone?" Winona said softly.<br /> <br /> "Mom, don't blame Isabella. Remember, she's the eldest daughter of the Sorenson family and the designated heiress of Sorenson Multimedia. Dad wouldn't hold it against her. Who knows what those shareholders might say if he did?" Yvonne interjected, stealing glances at Nathan.<br /> <br /> Nathan's expression darkened further as his gaze bore into Isabella.<br /> <br /> Isabella quietly ate the food Elsie gave her. She had gotten used to such drama. Winona and Yvonne always sowed discord between her and Nathan. Then, endless insults would ensue that would sometimes escalate into physical abuse.<br /> <br /> She was a Sorenson, and her father was an Ingram. That was one of her sins.<br /> <br /> Nathan didn't lose his temper. Instead, he snorted derisively before leaving the dining room.<br /> <br /> Winona shot a glance and Yvonne and Isabella before following Nathan out.<br /> <br /> As soon as her parents left, Yvonne abandoned her facade of dignity. Casting a scornful glance at Isabella, who remained meek and reserved as always, she said sarcastically, "I'm amazed you still have the nerve to stay alive. If I were in your shoes, I'd have put an end to it all by now. Maybe flung myself into a river or hung myself. Anything's better than living like this. Your fiancรฉ despises you and cheats on you with your closest friend. Aren't you devastated? How do you even have an appetite?"<br /> <br /> After taking the final bite, Isabella met Yvonne's gaze with indifference. "I've found someone willing to wed me."<br /> <br /> Yvonne scoffed, "Wake up, will you? Do you honestly believe you're the eldest daughter of the Sorenson family?"<br /> <br /> Isabella merely looked at her coldly. Yvonne often carried herself with elegance and composure in public. Isabella was perhaps the only person who had seen her true colors.<br /> <br /> She thought, 'Does Yvonne ever get tired of pretending? I pretend to be indifferent and weak because Winona and Yvonne forced me to, but no one's forcing Yvonne. So why is she pretending?'<br /> <br /> "What're you looking at?" Yvonne bellowed at Isabella. Isabella's charming face never failed to anger her. 'Why does she get all the luck? A wealthy grandfather and mother, and even that envy-inducing face!' she seethed inwardly.<br /> <br /> Yvonne sent her plate hurtling toward Isabella.<br /> <br /> Isabella rose from her seat, narrowly dodging the plate as it crashed to the ground.<br /> <br /> "What's wrong?" Winona asked loudly.<br /> <br /> Yvonne glared at Isabella.<br /> <br /> Normally, Isabella would've quickly apologized to Winona, saying she had accidentally broken the plate. Yet, today, Isabella simply turned to face the incensed Yvonne in silence.<br /> <br /> Elsie interjected fearfully, "Mrs. Ingram, I'm sorry; I accidentally dropped a plate."<br /> <br /> Both Isabella and Yvonne looked at Elsie at the same time.<br /> <br /> Yvonne shot daggers at Elsie before exiting the dining room.<br /> <br /> Elsie tugged at Isabella's arm, whispering, "Ms. Sorenson, just endure it. This too shall pass."<br /> <br /> Endure. It was a mantra instilled in Isabella since childhood by Elsie and also what her late mother said to her. Today, however, she realized that enduring only made things worse.<br /> <br /> Isabella hurried to the bathroom, changing out of the dress and cleansing herself of the shame it carried. She then returned to her room on the second floor, a windowless storeroom bereft of sunlight year-round. She even had to use the maid's bathroom. Besides Elsie, no one would regard her as the family's eldest daughter.<br /> <br /> The luxurious room that her grandfather and mother decorated was handed over to Yvonne just a month after Winona and Yvonne's arrival. Isabella's living quarters changed each time she made a "mistake" until she found herself relegated to the storeroom, a decision that satisfied Winona and Yvonne at last.<br /> <br /> This was the consequence of endurance.<br /> <br /> Isabella curled up on the cramped bed, the air stifling and hot. The wind could only filter in when the door was opened. Yet, she didn't want to move, let alone open the door.<br /> <br /> Isabella closed her eyes, the events of the day replaying in her mind. She watched them unfold once more like a distant observer.<br /> <br /> The moment Zachary started dating Scarlett remained a mystery to her.<br /> <br /> Since Zachary's return from abroad, he started work in his family's company, leaving little opportunity for him and Isabella to spend time together. Isabella was never one to inconvenience others, so she never interrupted Zachary's work. Understanding his desire for a compliant girlfriend, she made every effort to fit that mold.<br /> <br /> Ever since Zachary returned, the two families celebrated festivals together, which Isabella enjoyed.<br /> <br /> Zachary didn't treat her poorly or particularly well, but he and Yvonne were tight. They got along well, even though Zachary used to dislike Yvonne as a kid.<br /> <br /> Chapter 7 Truth<br /> Today, Scarlett claimed Isabella had forgiven them, which was nonsense. Isabella didn't know anything about their affair.<br /> <br /> Isabella wondered, 'Why would she say that? Was it to make Zachary turn against me? If that's the case, it's obvious who played the video. However, Scarlett isn't stupid. There are so many ways to let me know, so why did she choose this one? Doing so will only cause her more harm than good. Oh, right, because doing so makes it seem like my handiwork. No one will suspect Scarlett of selling herself out. As for Zachary, he is always on Scarlett's side. He never admitted his mistake or apologized. He kept emphasizing that Scarlett is my good friend and that I should be nice to her. Zachary, am I being nice to her by letting you go? Why do you take everything I do for granted?'<br /> <br /> Isabella's heart ached as she recalled the tender look Zachary reserved for Scarlett.<br /> <br /> Zachary had never looked at her like that before. 'I'm just not worth his affection, huh?' she pondered.<br /> <br /> Lorelai's words hit Isabella like a sudden storm. Throughout the years, Lorelai treated Isabella well. Isabella once believed she was sincere and even vowed to take good care of Lorelai after the marriage.<br /> <br /> However, it turned out that Lorelai valued her social status and assets. That was probably her second original sin.<br /> <br /> Isabella held a significant 40% stake in Sorenson Multimedia, making her the company's largest shareholder. However, because of her youth, all the dividends from this ownership were directed into a trust established by her grandfather, which remained inaccessible until she reached the age of 25. She wouldn't receive her inheritance from her grandfather and mother until that time.<br /> <br /> Today, she finally realized that the Winslow family's acceptance of her wasn't based on genuine affection or sympathy for her loss of her mother. It also wasn't due to their acquaintance with her late mother and grandfather either. Instead, it was because of the assets she would eventually possess.<br /> <br /> They were kind to her because of her assets, and cruel to her for the same reason.<br /> <br /> Nathan had always been eyeing the property Isabella could inherit, especially because Yvonne didn't have any. When Isabella turned 18, Nathan deemed her old enough to handle her inheritance. He once pressured her to draft a document pledging half of the property to Yvonne. However, his plan was thwarted when the lawyer and four key company shareholders intervened.<br /> <br /> George and Irina foresaw the possibility of someone coveting the assets and therefore imposed an age restriction of 25. At 18, Isabella didn't have the authority to transfer her future assets.<br /> <br /> Nathan had married into the Sorenson family, so any child he had with Irina must carry the Sorenson name, while offspring from other relationships would not inherit this family name.<br /> <br /> Thus, Isabella was the only heiress of the Sorenson family.<br /> <br /> Furthermore, if Nathan decided to transfer his shares to Yvonne rather than Isabella, the four main investors would pull out their money from Sorenson Multimedia. The company had always been in the hands of the Sorenson family, and it would stay that way.<br /> <br /> If the major investors withdrew their support, the company would collapse, as Nathan's 30% stake alone wouldn't be enough to sustain it. Nathan's family eventually gave up on their plan.<br /> <br /> Instead of trying to butter Isabella up to get their way, they chose to resent her even more. Isabella couldn't help but admire them for that, for they didn't yield in the face of greed.<br /> <br /> Another way to access her wealth was by letting her marry Zachary.<br /> <br /> In this scenario, her property would serve as her dowry, to be shared with the Winslow family upon marriage. Given Isabella's infatuation with Zachary, she would likely agree to this arrangement. Consequently, Nathan collaborated with the Winslow family on various investment and development endeavors in recent years, aiming to reap the maximum benefits in due time.<br /> <br /> "Grandpa, Mom, 25 isn't a safe age either. If I were an idiot, I'd still be an idiot at 25 years old," Isabella murmured.<br /> <br /> Luckily, misfortune wasn't the only thing the heavens bestowed upon her. At least Zachary found his true love. She wondered if that had anything to do with divine intervention.<br /> <br /> Getting out of bed, she used a nearby book to fan herself.<br /> <br /> 'Time to draw up a contract for Clayton. If he's sensible, he'll agree to my terms,' she thought. Isabella needed to move out as soon as possible. She had neither the energy nor the mood to deal with Yvonne and Winona's tricks anymore.<br /> <br /> They wouldn't let her rent a place outside, because that would make it hard for them to control her. Also, that would bring disgrace upon the Sorenson family. The only escape route left was to get married.<br /> <br /> The identity of her partner hardly mattered, as long as he was a true gentleman. She would draft a pact, ensuring her safety and rights were protected. And in return, she would offer him the benefits he rightly deserved, for he would be her savior.<br /> <br /> She needed to find a place to settle down and focus on earning money, aiming to gather 300 thousand dollars within a year to finance her studies in Upria for the next five years. It wasn't much, but she could continue earning while studying.<br /> <br /> Her future needed replanning. This time, she was on her own, and she vowed to protect herself from harm.<br /> <br /> The next morning, Nathan took Yvonne to Rayson International. As they stood outside the towering structure, Yvonne was exhilarated.<br /> <br /> Amidst the bustling heart of the city, the building stood tall and majestic. The employees were in a hurry, but their demeanor radiated confidence and pride unmatched by those of other companies.<br /> <br /> A smile crept onto Yvonne's face as she envisioned herself as the owner of this impressive building and the wife of its esteemed boss, overseeing these elite professionals in the future.<br /> <br /> Clayton accepted the document from his assistant, Johnny Lawton, signing it before instructing, "Get in touch with Kayson and have him find a place for me near University of Moulmore. Something around 1,000 square feet, suitable for two people, and fully equipped with all the essentials."<br /> <br /> Johnny answered, "Okay."<br /> <br /> Seeing that Clayton was reading a contract, Johnny called Kayson.<br /> <br /> After a while, Kayson entered. "Boss, what do you think about Moonlight Apartment near University of Moulmore? It's just a ten-minute stroll from the campus, and boasts a thriving community with all the amenities you could need."<br /> <br /> Clayton thought for a moment, but the name didn't ring a bell. "Okay. Go ahead and purchase a unit."<br /> <br /> Kayson laughed, "Boss, that's our property. You reserved a suite for yourself on the 28th floor. I was wondering why you never brought it up again. Turns out you forgot."<br /> <br /> Johnny glared at him. "Cut the crap and get it sorted already."<br /> <br /> Clayton glanced at Kayson but remained silent. Kayson stuck out his tongue playfully, heading toward the door. "Boss, will you be living alone or will Mr. Maguire be joining you?"<br /> <br /> Without looking up, Clayton responded, "It'll be me and my wife."<br /> <br /> Chapter 8 Will You Marry Me Instead?<br /> Clayton continued working on the document while Johnny and Kayson stiffened. Johnny, usually collected, also stared at Clayton in disbelief.<br /> <br /> Kayson's mouth hung open. "Y-You and who, Boss?"<br /> <br /> Clayton glanced up at them, answering flatly, "My wife. Do you have a hearing problem?"<br /> <br /> Kayson gaped in shock at Clayton, who kept working, then turned to the equally dumbfounded Johnny.<br /> <br /> Another assistant, Weston Quinn, entered the office. "Mr. Murray, Mr. Nathan Ingram and his daughter are here to see you."<br /> <br /> Clayton didn't look up. "Did they make an appointment?"<br /> <br /> Weston shook his head. "No, but he mentioned Isabella Sorenson. Said you'd know right away."<br /> <br /> Clayton's head snapped up at once. "All right, bring them up."<br /> <br /> Weston was stunned, for he seemed to have caught a glimpse of a smile on Clayton's face.<br /> <br /> However, he blinked and thought his eyes must've been playing tricks. Noticing how Kayson was rooted in his spot, Weston presumed Kayson had been lectured again and hurriedly turned to leave.<br /> <br /> Clayton glimpsed at Kayson. "Why are you still here?"<br /> <br /> Kayson jolted out of his daze, murmuring, "T-This feels too surreal..."<br /> <br /> Clayton glanced at Johnny, who quickly composed himself, clenched his fists, and cleared his throat before saying, "This information is somewhat... unexpected. It's only normal that Kay needs a moment to process it, Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> Johnny then glared at Kayson. "What are you still waiting for? Go get it done."<br /> <br /> Promptly, Kayson exited the room, still looking thunderstruck.<br /> <br /> He had just shut the door when he saw Hendrix Henderson working in the personal assistants' office. "Hens, let me pinch you and see if it hurts!" Kayson reached for Hendrix's handsome face, but Hendrix swatted Kayson's hand away with a folder.<br /> <br /> "Oh, get lost. Pinch yourself." Hendrix scowled. "What's the matter with you this early in the morning? You got scolded again? You were in there for so long."<br /> <br /> Kayson retracted his throbbing hand in a heartbeat. "Ouch, that hurts! So this isn't a dream!"<br /> <br /> Hendrix rolled his eyes, used to how Kayson would act up at least a few times a day.<br /> <br /> All four of Clayton's personal assistants were men. Johnny had been with Clayton the longest and resembled Clayton most, as cold and aloof. Weston and Hendrix, while mostly reserved, still wore their emotions on their faces from time to time. As for Kayson, he was the lone constant jokester of the group.<br /> <br /> Kayson looked at Hendrix intently. "Do you have any idea what I was tasked with?"<br /> <br /> Hendrix couldn't be bothered to answer, knowing Kayson would continue talking regardless of whether there was any response.<br /> <br /> Kayson's Adam's apple bobbed. "Boss told me to buy him an apartment. He said it's for him and his wife."<br /> <br /> Hendrix's fingers that were flying over the keyboard froze. "Are you still half-asleep? You must've heard wrong, and so absurd at that. Watch yourself, or Johnny will come give you an earful!"<br /> <br /> Kayson snatched the folder from Hendrix and insisted, "It's true! Johnny is in there. He heard it too. Ask him if you don't believe me."<br /> <br /> Before Hendrix could reply, they spotted Weston leading Nathan and Yvonne over. Kayson's eyes widened at the sight of Yvonne while he nudged Hendrix.<br /> <br /> Hendrix looked over, thinking, 'My, isn't she a beauty? What's going on here? Could she be the "wife" that Boss was referring to?'<br /> <br /> Weston was perplexed when he caught sight of the duo's transfixed gazes. 'What's up with those two? Why do they look so stunned?' he wondered.<br /> <br /> Yvonne had been pumped up the moment she stepped into the lobby. The low-key yet lavish interior of Rayson International made the Sorenson Multimedia and the Winslow family's Avid Ventures Real Estate that she was familiar with seem like night and day.<br /> <br /> As she expected, meeting Clayton was no easy feat. Clayton never entertained visitors without appointments despite Nathan making his identity known.<br /> <br /> Luckily, Isabella's name had worked in their favor. 'Looks like he still remembers yesterday's incident. In that case, he will surely recognize me, too. The gown I wore was tailor-made and cost ten times more than Isabella's, practically making me the star of the event. There's no way he'll forget my pretty face,' she mused in glee.<br /> <br /> Yvonne's heart raced involuntarily when she saw Clayton's assistant coming to escort them upstairs. She thought giddily, 'My goodness, Weston's quite the looker. What a pity that he isn't pursuing a celebrity career.'<br /> <br /> They had taken the private elevator up to Clayton's office, where another two astonished yet dashing men stood by the entrance. Yvonne was beyond thrilled on the inside, confident they were amazed by her beauty. 'I knew it. No one will overlook my looks with Isabella absent. See, even Mr. Murray's assistants are mesmerized by me,' she pondered, brimming with confidence and anticipation.<br /> <br /> After Weston knocked on the door, a deep voice rang out from inside. "Come in."<br /> <br /> Weston opened the door and politely gestured for Nathan and Yvonne to enter. "Mr. and Ms. Ingram are here, Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> Clayton looked up, his gaze and voice turning cold as he questioned Weston, "Didn't you say Ms. Isabella Sorenson was here?"<br /> <br /> Weston turned quizzically to Nathan.<br /> <br /> Nathan was all smiles as he stepped forward eagerly. "Hello, Mr. Murray! I'm Nathan Ingram. Isabella's my daughter."<br /> <br /> Clayton did not get up or spare a glance at Nathan's extended hand. "Where's Isabella?"<br /> <br /> Nathan awkwardly retracted his hand. "Ah, Isabella. She's, uh..."<br /> <br /> "Mr. Murray, my sister wanted us to inform you that she can't marry you," Yvonne chimed in gently while staring at Clayton.<br /> <br /> Clayton arched an eyebrow at the father-daughter duo.<br /> <br /> Nathan clenched his fist at his side and said solemnly, "That's right. We've come to explain the situation. Isabella is already engaged, so she can't marry you. But I have anotherโ"<br /> <br /> "Mr. Ingram!" Clayton interrupted frigidly. "Hasn't it already been made clear to everyone yesterday? Isabella called off the engagement with her ex-fiancรฉ and asked me to marry her. If she wants to go back on her word, she'll have to tell me herself!"<br /> <br /> Nathan's face fell as it dawned on him that Clayton was serious about the marriage.<br /> <br /> Yvonne became anxious. "I don't think you understand, Mr. Murray. Her and Zachary's marriage contract is set in stone. It was personally arranged by her mother. Isabella can't call the shots!"<br /> <br /> Clayton leaned back, arms crossed. "Oh? How about me, then? Mr. Ingram, as I said yesterday, nobody has dared to stop me from doing anything I want. Have you forgotten that, or did you choose not to believe me?"<br /> <br /> Clayton stared at Nathan, who instinctively lowered his head in the face of Clayton's overwhelmingly imposing aura. A shiver ran down Nathan's spine. "O-Of course not, Mr. Murray."<br /> <br /> "Then what are you doing here now?" Clayton's voice was utterly icy.<br /> <br /> Yvonne boldly met his eyes. "Mr. Murray, I'm Yvonne Ingram, 20 this year, currently a sophomore at the University of Moulmore, majoring in economics and management, and future heiress to Sorenson Multimedia. Will you marry me instead?" She had dressed to the nines to meet him today, convinced that she could catch his fancy. | Endless Stories | 206 | https://facebook.com/61555726498427 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

In my experience, therapists rarely link the femoroacetabular joint to back disorders, even though several studies have found a strong correlation between movement-restricted hips and lumbar spine pathology. <br /> <br /> When assessing hip mobility issues, there are three things to consider. First, are the bones moving properly within the joint space, or is there an osteoarthritic bone-on-bone end-feel at end range of motion? Second, is a fibrotic femoroacetabular joint preventing rectus femoris and iliopsoas from reaching full hip extension during the swing phase of gait? Third, does the end-feel of the stretch indicate a fibrotic hip capsule or just tight/short hip flexors?<br /> <br /> So, how do we determine if a client has a hip extension restriction? Hereโs a quick and helpful hip mobility test. Ask your client to half-kneel with their right knee on the ground and left leg in front so thereโs a 90-degree angle at the hip and knee. Place a bar (or broom stick) along the clientโs spine. It should touch between their shoulder blades and the top of their gluteals. Now, ask them to slowly push their pelvis forward so they flatten their low back, allowing it to contact the stick. If the client feels a stretch in the front of their right hip, they have a flexibility or mobility issue in or around that hip. Switch positions and repeat the test on the left hip.<br /> <br /> To assess the left anterior hip capsule from the prone position, begin by flexing the clientโs knee to 90 degrees and grasping the leg. Place your left palm just below the ischial tuberosity on the proximal femur. As you step to your left foot, your right arm will slowly bring the hip into extension while...

It's not a distant dream; it's a reality within reach through chiropractic care.<br /> With age and years of wear and tear, there can be misalignments in the spine that can affect mobility, balance, and overall well-being. However, it shouldn't slow us down. Chiropractic care can be a partner in embracing the full potential of active aging.<br /> <br /> Chiropractic adjustments are the secret sauce to maintaining a resilient spine.

He challenges conventional paradigms of pain treatment, focusing on the evolving understanding of electricity in pain relief. The talk highlights the significant developments over the past 25 years in spinal cord stimulation, including various frequencies and approaches targeting different tissues. Dr. Staats emphasizes reevaluating the role of the autonomic nervous system in pain management, particularly the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. The lecture delves into the potential of treating diseases beyond pain, such as spasticity, with neuromodulation techniques. He extends to exploring the vagus nerve's integral role in controlling bodily functions and systemic inflammation, highlighting its impact on diseases like arthritis and COVID-19. The presentation concludes with insights into emerging research on vagus nerve stimulation, including its non-invasive application and its potential in treating long COVID and other complex health issues.<br /> <br /> ๐๐ฅ Watch the full lecture at:<br /> <a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fpaincast.com%2Fvideo%2Fautonomic-interventions-for-the-non-pain-indications%2F&h=AT0kWJLqsC5oTj3j50tdhG1OfTG6pn63D-77vrle-nqOob1eWLNMKhiop_F54Yxw-ChCgPCgwMrHCiaEzUQey1-fado6zgivGKGdjs-rIBRHkc2USyUhpwcAG3RGjh9Qcl8lqFayhujQ-GJ4DrlievHj3EIy3lkdEIZ5oQ" rel="nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank" data-lynx-mode="asynclazy">https://paincast.com/video/autonomic-interventions-for-the-non-pain-indications/</a><br /> <br /> Join PainCast Pro for unlimited access to exclusive videos and lectures from leading physicians.

The business is run very professionally. Dr Alex Guebert has grown the business continuously since he took it over several years ago. The facility is very modern and uses technology to evaluate and improve a patientโs condition with minimal pain. They are honestly interested in patient welfare and not just turning a profit. They have various programs to fit your budget and offer a generous military/ first responder discount. This is important since they donโt accept Medicare. The entrance to the facility is a little tight and is only wide enough for a single vehicle so caution is advised.

The effectiveness of this advanced migraine treatment is way superior to what we intended!<br /> <br /> We all know that there are many misconceptions as to what causes migraine and headache pain. We also know that research is now pointing to inflamed nerves in the neck as the leading cause of headaches and migraines, but people are currently still going after mainstream migraine treatments and other alternative migraine therapies that, in our experience, offer very unimpressive results.<br /> <br /> What if I told you that there is a migraine treatment that works for the common migraine, chronic migraines, cluster headaches, hemiplegic migraines, trigeminal neuralgia, and nearly every type of migraine?<br /> <br /> Because now, Texas Migraine Clinic has already evaluated and treated more than 4,200 patients. Our stats indicate that 92% of patients discover the source of their headaches and migraines during their initial evaluation, through instant symptom improvement.<br /> <br /> Then, if adherent to this System of treatment, on average, they experience 75% of headaches/migraines at 4 weeks and 93% relief at 6 weeks. The good news is: the results are routinely lasting! Common sense says that it is much more effective to take away the CAUSE of migraines than it is to take migraine pain symptoms away without fixing the cause. After all, we have found that nearly all head pain, nausea, eye pain, and dizziness go away when we resolve what causes the migraine pain in the first place. Many of our thousands of patients report being migraine-free months or years after treatment! As a migraine evaluation and treatment facility, we have no patience for migraine treatment methods that just are not working effectively or fast enough. We are ready to show you what has already been a dependable, lasting migraine solution that has worked for thousands of patients.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.texasmigraineclinic.com%2F&h=AT0WZC3k47JaFFprkfs-HoSjcASmsDtzpCKryAjoIUHYx87e4S1gYixRev6CkJJTo_iOynl3BLDugqMZj6S7-RLHHvB9E3terLXIPLXNmI7ZdaTZWSRd40oILz_v07N6JekIXtWfDh_34dSLa4ER_x_ZyKEZ5i_VkXcy8w" rel="nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank" data-lynx-mode="asynclazy">https://www.texasmigraineclinic.com/</a><br /> <br /> Take advantage of our Texas Migraine Clinic program - since our patients frequently achieve 93% migraine relief which lasts months, and, in many cases, years in patients adherent to our system of treatment. Also, in the end, it ends up costing much less than most other migraine therapies, since, according to our results, our treatment usually lasts many years. Inside the Texas Migraine Clinic program, patients get exclusive 1-on-1 training sessions with a qualified migraine specialist who will administer the Texas Migraine Clinic System. This specialist will do his very best to deliver the same treatment we have already used to treat 4,200+ migraine cases.<br /> <br /> The fact is, there has never been a better time to get into this program. We believe this is the future of migraine and headache therapy. Once the world wakes up to the effectiveness of this cutting-edge approach, our availability will be much more limited.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.texasmigraineclinic.com%2F&h=AT3lKzjbWKBRfZsiUM-L-stS4R4uQYhMqVX5d57KGJa3bUjGNlpaJDEEwSddTaIFZyMkARI4I19KStuIMf7fyIQR8-8Z8phtv0NTxWujexNIGekoaAQ_nHEMYyX8Rpos7UxyLASnTznOqqXvEP-EooY4pnH69AcNZ_mk3w" rel="nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank" data-lynx-mode="asynclazy">https://www.texasmigraineclinic.com/</a><br /> <br /> Most people experience ongoing migraine pain when they try to rely on many of the approaches floating around the internet- including mainstream, approved therapies from qualified doctors.<br /> <br /> In fact, many of our successful patients only experienced only a mere 20% relief of pain after spending $20,000+ on many of the mainstream, traditional therapies out there. These therapies include triptans, Botox, the newer injectables, acupuncture, Chiropractic, electrical stimulation devices, and biofeedback training. But 20% rings unimpressive when it comes to real-life change and full function. Common patient complaints about functional loss include their mood (fed up and irritated), ability to focus and concentrate on work or daily activities, disturbed sleep, missing out on quality time with my family/friends, and extra stress making their problem worse. We routinely achieve an average of 93% migraine pain reduction. Such results make these losses of function evaporate.<br /> <br /> According to our results and in most cases, it doesnโt matter how severe a patientโs migraines or headaches are, how long theyโve had them, what type they were, or even what other qualified practitioners had told them about their headaches and/or migraines. The Advanced Treatment, in most all cases, is highly effective at getting patients past their headache & migraine pain that other practitioners usually have issues in treating. This way, patients can start living life like theyโve always wanted, but never could find in all the muchness and manyness of confusing misinformation on the internet.<br /> <br /> In summary, our System has successfully reversed migraine pain with lasting results in thousands of patients who had all types of migraines. We have provided real migraine relief to the most jaded of skeptics who have tried nearly everything for migraines - those who thought there was no identification of the actual underlying problem, no way to achieve lasting relief, and no way to restore life function and happiness.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.texasmigraineclinic.com%2F&h=AT07GRS1Si0bLqrUQkxZwjYXE6KLXANTn92zUPmTHwjFhCgCdq0nIQiE78Isb8LiN9XfVPdUhAwJq5OHPRpVHWezasoCrfheK1rd7rK2d2h5xXzazDqGJChSyfvdkfCoZCdYzvFXiJkP_yRqv_CJ93t7AG6lOUUXxclXeg" rel="nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank" data-lynx-mode="asynclazy">https://www.texasmigraineclinic.com/</a> | Texas Migraine Clinic | 4039 | https://facebook.com/TheHeadMaster | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

But treatment-resistant does not mean untreatable! This type of persistent depression can be effectively addressed through innovative therapies such as #transcranialmagneticstimulation (TMS) and SPRAVATOยฎ (esketamine).<br /> <br /> TMS utilizes magnetic fields to gently stimulate nerve cells in the brain, while SPRAVATOยฎ, a nasal spray, works on the glutamate system to alleviate depressive symptoms. These novel approaches can offer relief for individuals who have not responded to traditional antidepressant medications.<br /> <br /> Reach out today if we can help you or someone you know: 855.205.4764, info@reliefmh.com or <a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Freliefmh.com%2F&h=AT1QTO0K2XkAyqBTPJaAakFcKWKrjZyqnxgP7Pv5pM_Au_3nsDjsRhJ6n35NG2w62xe5VB5262CNh_D1JmhqW8B-XqrFqT5-KXm4PYgSRvJUf_klSYNUJElAnNPj8oaQtywKSTHAZaVj_X4XXWiPRDpeyNMKj_91Fk963g" rel="nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank" data-lynx-mode="asynclazy">reliefmh.com</a> #tmstherapy #psychedelictherapy #depressiontreatment #depressionrelief | Relief Mental Health | 1044 | https://facebook.com/reliefmentalhealth | 0 | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Cady thought sheโd made her peace with death, but as chills ravaged her body and aches destroyed her nerve endings, she didnโt know if she still wanted to die. What if the vaccine failed? She didnโt have enough time to figure out the answers to any of her questions. She needed time.<br /> <br /> She wanted more time.<br /> <br /> All sheโd tried to do was save as many people as possible.<br /> <br /> Her hope hadnโt taken into account the vast devastation planned or the fact that pain was a part of the game. The game that centered around eradicating the population.<br /> <br /> Her friend betrayed her. Her husband abandoned her.<br /> All she had left was her daughter. Everyone else would be dead by now, or worse off than she was.<br /> <br /> Cady didnโt have the right to complain, yet she longed to end her suffering with the Glock hiding under her bed.<br /> <br /> Yet, what could she possibly hope to accomplish with a bullet in her brain?<br /> <br /> Lying on the floor beside her bed, she reached under the mattress and pulled the gun from its position of safety.<br /> <br /> The weight was comforting as she tightened her fingers on the handle. She squeezed her eyes shut and slumped back to the carpet.<br /> <br /> Nothing was soft or calming. The threads of the carpet abraded her skin, every nerve screaming to be left alone, yet itching at the same time.<br /> <br /> It would be okay for her to end it. No one would know. No one would care.<br /> <br /> If she killed herself, every sacrifice would be in vain. Her daughterโs pain would be for nothing.<br /> <br /> Cady dragged a breath through her swollen and cracked lips. She didnโt want to open her eyes and find the sun beating through the window. She didnโt want to acknowledge the chill in the air as an illusion to a fever.<br /> <br /> She just wanted all of her blankets on top of her, warming her in the sun.<br /> <br /> Half-heartedly, she reached up and tugged on the blankets, but couldnโt budge them. What was she thinking about? Oh, right, killing herself. Everything would be a waste. Cady didnโt like waste, and all of that would be the worst kind.<br /> <br /> She groanedโฆ if only the vaccine had been enough.<br /> <br /> BINGE ON YOUR FAVORITE DEVICE | B.R.

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

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

The problems vary in severity from generalised soreness and aching to mild strains or to more serious tears. Sudden hamstring tears can happen in longer distance runners however they are more common in explosive power type events like shorts sprints or events like long jump and high jump.<br /> <br /> But if you do feel your hamstring go suddenly rather than generalised aching whilst youโre running, it is likely to be a strain or a tear. If this happens itโs important not to try to continue running as this will cause more damage. Of course with a more serious tear there would obviously be no way you would be able to attempt to continue running!<br /> <br /> With all sudden muscle injuries itโs best to follow the RICE method which youโve probably heard of for the first few days following the injury. This is as follows:<br /> <br /> R for rest - stop activity,<br /> I for ice - apply ice regularly (not directly onto the skin, unless using an ice massage)<br /> C for compression - Use a bandage, ideally a compression type one to reduce swelling.<br /> E for elevation - elevate the leg to lessen the swelling.<br /> <br /> When returning to running youโll need to take it slowly and itโs a good idea to see a therapist for specific treatment and advice beforehand. Gentle hamstring stretches are good, but itโs so important to ensure you donโt overstretch whilst the muscle is repairing. Cautious strengthening exercises can begin after the initial injury has healed. When youโre able to start running try gentle jogging in combination with walking to begin with.<br /> <br /> Hamstring strains and tears can occur due to sudden increases in training loads, especially if speed work is introduced too quickly. Hill sessions can also cause problems if theyโre not built into your training program gradually. Also warming up adequately before more intense workouts is crucial to get your muscles ready and make them less susceptible to injury.<br /> <br /> In endurance type runners like most members of our community are, itโs more common to get problems with the feeling of persistently tight and sore hamstrings rather than all out tears. In this case itโs more likely to be due to biomechanical factors such as muscle imbalances and stiffness around the lower back and pelvis. So itโs a good idea to work on these issues if your hamstrings often feel sore and achy. Runners often have tight quadriceps and hip flexors which cause excessive anterior pelvic tilt, this leads to over lengthened and weak hamstrings, and lower back muscles tend to tighten. To help correct imbalances, stretch your quadriceps, hip flexors and low back muscles regularly. But always stretch your hamstrings with caution rather than overstretch them and you could use foam rolling for any specific areas of spasm. <br /> <br /> Strengthening your core muscles is also important to counteract excessive anterior pelvic tilt. Another thing to work on is exercises that activate the glutes as weak glutes that are not functioning properly result in the hamstrings being overworked. For example bridging exercises where you lie on your back with your feet flat on the floor and you raise your hips. When youโre running check your running form too as problems with form and over-striding sometimes cause hamstring strains, and if you do interval work ensure you have enough easy days between sessions.<br /> <br /> Before workouts, focus on dynamic type stretching movements so your muscles are ready for action and reserve the more static sustained type stretches for afterwards. Itโs good to keep your hamstrings flexible but donโt overdo it. Over-stretching hamstrings can exacerbate muscle imbalances that frequently cause the problem.<br /> <br /> Discomfort in the hamstring area can also be due to sciatica which means there is irritation of the nerve roots arising from your spine. Itโs a good idea to seek advice from a therapist particularly if your pain is severe. In the long term working on muscle imbalances and core stability will help to prevent recurrence.<br /> <br /> Good luck with it!

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. 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.

My dad is really mad at you and Raven being mates." Twin sister Reagan said to my mate.<br /> "I don't mind rejecting her, but I would have been embarrassed to face my mate" Justin said.<br /> "My father has decided to appoint me as his future Alpha not my sister Raven. So, I will be your luna." Reagan said to Justin.<br /> ******** <br /> I silently run through the woods letting my wolf Emerald out tonight. She has been anxious all day, well really the last few days, and I could tell that she needed to come out for a run. <br /> Alpha Cole Walker is the Alpha of the Blood Walker pack. He is said to be one of the most dangerous Alphas in the United States. It is said that he would hurt anyone who dared to enter his pack uninvited. Due to this fact, most of our pack members studiously avoid this area altogether.<br /> My twin sister, Reagan, is the golden child of the pack. They all love her unconditionally. She is cherished and appreciated, no matter what she does. They all seem to ignore the fact that she is a horrible and mean she-wolf. I was born first, and with that should come the respect that after I find my mate, I will officially be the Luna here, and he will take over as the Alpha of the pack. Yet they all treat her as the next Luna. <br /> My sister and I are the only children that our parents had. The Goddess never blessed them with another child, even though they tried for years. My father, Alpha Graham Sullivan, is very strict with me. I am not allowed to leave my room other than to eat my meals and then return back to my room again. I am also not allowed to leave our pack for any reason. I have never even crossed the border of the Sliver Blade pack in my life. <br /> I was the Alpha's daughter, but I was not a valued member of this pack. Telling on me has always resulted in a bonus for whoever told on me to my father. I have had to learn how to overcome this on my own. It has made me very independent over the years, as well as a very good climber. I use the tree outside my window at the pack house, to climb up and down to get in and out of my room.<br /> From my vantage point, I can see who is coming now and rolled my eyes so hard I almost saw my brain. It was Reagan, and she was pulling the arm of a pretty large guy, as she headed toward the grassy bank near my tree. I realized right this moment that I have picked a terrible place to hide. I should have doubled back and then climbed in my window to my room and I would have been safe and sound in my room. Reagan is clearly out with one of her many men, as she was allowed to stay out and do whatever she wanted to. I mean how else could she beat me to finding her mate if she didn't flirt with all the unmated men in our pack? I rolled my eyes again and then froze when I looked at them again and got a good look at his face.<br /> That smell coming off of him was starting to drive me wild, he smelled like freshly baked cinnamon buns, and I was now pissed off. She had come here with the guy that I had a crush on, someone with whom she had never shown any interest in before. It was our Beta's son and the guy that I have had a crush on for the last year and a half.<br /> "No, don't stop them, Raven, she has already been dating with him for the last few months. This is not the first time, it has been well before he returned to the pack earlier this week. They are together now, dating, and they have both vowed to reject their actual mates to stay together to take over and run this pack. Please, just try to bear it, I will help you get through it. I am glad that you are in a secure location, this may make you pass out" Emerald linked me, and I felt physically sick.<br /> "How do you know this? Did she know that he is my mate? Why can't I approach him? Maybe he wants me, Emerald. Please let me stop this. He might not know that I am his mate, he may still want me, want US! I don't want to lose him, Emerald. He may not be aware his true mate is here. Can't he already smell our scent up here, like I smelled his scent? Are you sure that this is the only way? Please Emerald" I linked her back, and I feel the tears that are already sliding down my face. I have questions, and I need answers.<br /> I am frustrated. I don't want to give up on my true mate. He doesn't even know that I am here, and I do want him. I don't want to give him up, especially not to my sister Reagan. I don't know if I can survive this level of betrayal.<br /> "I can't wait for mom and dad to announce to the pack that we will be the Alpha and Luna tomorrow. This is something that I have really wanted for the last 8 years. I am so glad you decided that we could be chosen mates. " My sister says to my mate.<br /> "Besides, I am also glad that you are willing to lead the Silver Blade pack with me. I have a feeling that my freak of a sister who keeps staring at you is going to be crushed when she finds out that we are together. You dodged by deciding to accept me as your chosen mate. I know that she has a crush on you, so she would probably try to ask you out or something when she sees that you are back from break." She adds.<br /> "I think we will be so happy together. Raven will be so angry when she finds out that we planned this months ago. I cannot wait for her to find out. I even told mom to have her sit on the front row for the pack meeting tomorrow, so I can see her face when dad makes the announcement. I am going to put her next to you so it will hurt her more when dad calls you up on stage. When she realizes that her crush is going to be my mate, she is going to be so jealous of me. I am so going to get a picture of her face when she finds out, as I will want to remember that moment for a long time" I heard Reagan say to him, and I was so choked up I couldn't hold in the sob of pain that managed to escape.<br /> It wasn't loud, but with werewolf hearing, it was loud enough. I just stayed completely still and prayed that they hadn't heard me, but Justin started talking when my sob escaped, and they had no reaction, so I think I am safe.<br /> "I have always thought that you were a she-wolf, Reagan. I am so glad that you came up to my training with your offer, and for us to get extra special time together. If Raven were allowed to move around the pack, I don't think that she would be missing the fact that she is my mate. I scented her today when I got back to the pack and confirmed she is my mate. Per our agreement, I don't mind rejecting her, as I am clearly getting the better sister out of this deal. I would have been embarrassed to have to call that freak of nature my mate" Justin said, and with it, my heart was completely crushed.<br /> These two evil people deserved each other, and I will not waste another tear on his betrayal. He "chose" her, so he can keep her. She will never be faithful to him, and he will not ever be able to trust that their children are his either. She was just doing this to ensure that they become the next Alpha and Luna. She is what he wanted, so she can have him. I am thoroughly disgusted by both of them, and I will not allow them to make me sad one more day. I had already decided to get out of this horrible pack, and I will not miss the Silver Blade pack for a second. <br /> "She is your mate? Are you serious? Oh, this is the best" Reagan said as she laughed out in joy at hearing this information. "Justin, why haven't you mentioned this to me before?" Reagan continued.<br /> "I just found out about it earlier today as I have been gone for my training for the last 4 months. I caught my mate's scent and followed it so I could go ahead and reject them. I realized it was coming from the Alpha level, and when I went up and it led me straight to her door, it was really faint, but I sensed it. She doesn't even know it yet. I am sure that this information is not going to go over well with your parents. They may be upset when they find out. Are they still going to want us to move forward with our plan? Or are they going to want me and Raven to be mates because we are true mates?" Justin asked Reagan. I have to admit, I was interested in her reply as well, but I already suspected what the answer was going to be.<br /> "Oh no Justin, you will definitely be staying with me. I know dad is really going to get a kick out of you and Raven being mates. Mom might feel a little bad for her, but I think that this is great. I could not be happier that her true mate, will become my chosen mate.<br /> We will rule the Silver Blade pack together, and it will hurt her every day to see us together. It is my pack any way, it was never going to be hers. Maybe if we are lucky since she doesn't have a wolf, she won't be able to scent you, and your rejection might even hurt her when you do it. That would be the best-case scenario for all of us" Reagan said, and I could tell that Justin was a little shocked at how hateful she was. Reagan could tell that Justin was not liking this side of her so she quickly changed her attitude and started cooing at Justin, "She doesn't deserve you, baby, I love you and I want you. Hopefully, you will come to love me too.<br /> I was just worried, I don't want you falling in love with my sister after we have already mated." Reagan said to Justin, looking up at him adoringly through her long lashes. I have to admit, she really knows how to work people to do what she wants them to. Her ability to look innocent and pure is without measure, she could have been an actress.<br /> "Dad hates Raven. He will be very happy about this. He has never loved her since the day that she was born. Mom might be a little upset, but she will get over it. She and dad are chosen mates, she gave up her true mate to become the Luna of the Silver Blade pack. She did it herself, and if it is good enough for her, then it is good enough for me to do it as well. We make the perfect couple. We will have strong pups, and our pack will flourish" Reagan said, and I am stunned. I knew my dad was mean, but to hate me, why? What reason could he possibly have for hating me? My parents have told the whole pack numerous times through the years that they were true mates. They are very affectionate with each other in front of the pack. I didn't even know that they weren't true mates. What else don't I know about them?<br /> "We will do the same thing. You will have to reject Raven first thing in the morning, or after the pack meeting. But you will have to do it where no one else will hear you. Dad is going to tell the pack that we are true mates, so they will fully support us. Dad thinks that it would be a mistake to not have the pack's full support behind us when we go to take it over from my parents" Reagan said, and I am amazed at all the plans that they have kept away from me. Just another thing that shows how much difference there is between Reagan and me. I hear them touching again and wonder when they plan on leaving the area, don't they need to get back to the pack house?<br /> I narrow my eyes at Reagan, as she is ecstatic about getting to truly rub all of my misfortune in right now. Justin is getting the opportunity to reject me, so the situation that we are now in is all positive for them.<br /> "Raven, why are you out of the house? Are you supposed to be out here? Are you OK? That fall looked like it hurt pretty bad" I hear my sister ask me with an innocent look on her face like she cared about me. She was fully aware of how I am kept a prisoner here at the Silver Blade pack. I really have to get out of here. I needed to check and see how badly I am hurt because I don't know if I even have time to go pack a bag now. I may be having to leave here with nothing, but I am OK with that. I just need to get the heck out of here. I will figure out what I need to do after I am safely free of Silver Blade.<br /> "Are you ignoring me, Raven? Are you sure you want to do that to me? Fine then, I will just make sure that you get punished for leaving your room. You are not supposed to be out here anyway. I will just let dad know that you are out here, and he will take care of you" Reagan said with a smirk, and then she started mind linking. <br /> I and my wolf were running away from this pack. But they caught us immediately.<br /> "If you come back here now Raven, I won't punish you for leaving your room without permission" I heard my father tell me. <br /> "Nothing in the world could possess me to do that father," I told him, and I see his eyes glazing over as he goes to link someone. I could care less what they have to say to me, and I turned to walk away. <br /> "You will get punishment in the Blood Walker pack. You know how dangerous they are Raven, you have heard this fact for your whole life. They cannot be trusted, and you are now a rogue. We have told you, and the whole pack, exactly what happens to those who trespass on their land. The moment they scent you they will move in, and you will die today. Is that what you want? Do you want to die? I will get you more freedom in the pack. I will allow you to go to the library every day instead of once a week. How does that sound?" my mother's voice is calming and comforting. She has never before sounded as nice as this, and I know that dad put her up to try to lure me back into the Siler Blade pack. They must be desperate to do it, so I want to see how far they intended to go with it.<br /> "Let me ask you this mother. Was the plan to get Justin to take Reagan as a chosen mate her idea, or dad's?" I asked her. Mom is not a very good liar. I can see her expression as we are only about 20 feet apart from each other right now. <br /> "I don't know what you are talking about Raven, they are mates," my mom said to me, and now I smirk at her. Clearly, mom was keeping me out of the loop and doesn't know that I know for a fact that they aren't.<br /> "Thanks for always lying to me mom. That makes it so much easier on me. I will not be coming back to the Silver Blade pack. This is the last time, Goddess willing, that you all will probably see me and actually I am welcoming the death that is coming to me. It will be better than the life I have lived since Reagan tried to hurt me, and my own dad called me a liar when I told him what actually happened. Justin is not her mate mom, and I know this because he is MY mate. It is disgusting what all you three have done to me and allowed to be done to me my whole life. I never deserved to be treated the way I was. I can only hope that I can find my way and get to live a life that allows me to find someone who loves me and realizes that I am a good person. I don't think that is too much to ask for, do you mom? It seems like you and dad are willing to do anything to get me to come back over the fence, but we both know that if I did come back, I would either immediately be thrown in the cells. So, I will take my chances over here, where at least I have a chance" I told them and turned again to leave. I only made it a few steps before I was stopped again by my father's hateful words.<br /> "You are ungrateful daughter, How do you have the nerve to say that to me? I have clothed and fed you, provided you a room, and let you go to school. I did take care of you, and it is disgusting to see how you repay me. Lying about Justin being your mate. Trying to take your sister's mate away from her. I know that I can speak for your mother as well as myself when I say that we hope the Blood Walker pack disposes of you quickly. I only wish I could punish you myself" my dad roared out, and the hate was coming off of him in waves.<br /> "You disgust me father," I told him and the tone I used to draw out the word father let him know just how little I thought of him being my father. "I have never done anything to cause a problem or disruption in the pack, or in the family. I did what I was told this whole time. Even as knowing that you let the whole pack know that I was fair game if they wanted to hurt me, and they did dad, over and over again. You know what, it was my family that really took the award for the most torment. Your unwarranted hate, mom never supporting me, and my sister allowed to try to hurt me, and incite others up against me made me realize that life will be much better on this side of the border than it was on that side. Even if I only live an hour more, it would be better than the years I spent over there."<br /> I wiped off my tears and walked past them, suddenly, I hear something coming to meโฆ<br /> <br /> <br /> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><br /> Wanna listen more? download our App and check more!

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! | What2628-eng | 79 | https://facebook.com/100093514056404 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

"<br /> "Elliot, what's going on?" I look at him, then at her, and back at him.<br /> He quickly stands up from his seat. "She was just leaving. Weren't you, Clara?<br /> She bats her eyelashes rapidly. "Honey, I think it's time for her to learn the truth. Don't you agree?"<br /> Clara laughs, looking at me. "I'm the woman who slept with him yesterday and the days before."<br /> "Taylor, please let me explain." He has the nerve to plead with me, after what he did.<br /> No. I won't stay here and listen as he tries to find an excuse for what he did. <br /> "Taylor, please. I want to talk to you." He tries again.<br /> "There's nothing to talk about" I snap at him.<br /> <br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> <br /> I take the stairs to go to my apartment. Iโm so lost in my thoughts, that I donโt pay any attention to my surroundings.<br /> "Watch it!โ Someone warns me.<br /> I look up, and a man that I have never seen before is standing right in front of me. He has dark hair cut in a military style and deep blue eyes. I see tattoos on his neck that seem to go all the way down to his torso. I canโt help, but think how handsome he is. I take a step back to put some distance between us.<br /> He must be my new neighbour.<br /> I smile as I present my hand to him. โHello, my name is Taylor Walker. Whatโs yourโs?โ<br /> He glares at me as if Iโm already a nuisance to him. โAnnoyed.โ He let out as he walks past me.<br /> Rude! I say to myself before I keep walking up the stairs.<br /> I unlock the door with my keys and look through my mail. โBills. Bills. Bills.โ I mumble to myself.<br /> I will deal with them later. Right now, all I want is to take a cup of coffee before I put myself pretty for my date with Elliot.<br /> I donโt smoke or drink. My only dope is coffee. I need at least four cups per day, and thatโs when I have a good day.<br /> As I make a cup of coffee for myself, I take a disposable cup to make another one. I donโt know why I even bother with this. So why am I purring a second cup for a man I donโt even know, is beyond me.<br /> Okay, Iโll admit. I didnโt like our first encounter.<br /> I wonder if he takes sugar or milk. He seems like a man that likes his coffee black.<br /> I bite my lips nervously as I pass my threshold.<br /> Why am I doing this again? I ask myself on the way to his apartment.<br /> I know where he leaves. Heโs my next-door neighbour.<br /> I clear my throat as I knock on his door.<br /> No response.<br /> I knock again.<br /> โWhat the freak do you want?โ He snaps at me while he opens his door.<br /> My heart skips a beat. Maybe itโs because of his deep blue eyes that they keep staring at me as if they want to devour my soul or something.<br /> I smile so he wonโt notice how nervous he makes me. โUhmm, I wanted to properly welcome you to the building.โ I give him the cup of coffee that I made for him.<br /> He takes a drag at his cigar, looking at my body all the way up to my eyes. โAre you here, because you want to freak?โ<br /> My jaw drops on the floor. โWhat? No!โ I nearly scream at him.<br /> He chuckles, seeing my reaction. โThatโs what I thought.โ He starts to close the door.<br /> โWait, you could at least tell me your name.โ I wonโt back down, even if his words made me uncountable. I put my hand in my chest to give a little drama. โDonโt tell me that a man at your size is scared by a little woman like myself.โ Itโs my turn to tease him.<br /> Iโm five foot tall, and heโs like six. Heโs a mountain man.<br /> He takes the cup from my hand. โIโm not scared. Thank you for the coffee, buttercup.โ He then closes the door in my face.<br /> Argh!<br /> You donโt get to take my coffee and not answer my question.<br /> I knock on his door harder this time.<br /> โLeave me the freak alone!โ He says, glaring at me.<br /> I shake my head stubbornly. โNot until you tell me your name. Itโs rude otherwise.โ<br /> โYou wonโt leave me the freak alone, is that it?โ He let out a growl. โOwen Blake. Now Piss off!โ Once again he closes the door in my face.<br /> I smirk as I walk back to my place.<br /> I look at the time. โFreak! Iโm going to be late for my date with Elliot. I have to hurry to get ready.โ<br /> I drink my coffee in a hurry and run inside the bathroom to take a shower.<br /> Elliot and I have been together for over a year now. He wants me to move in with him, but I donโt want to. I love my independence and my apartment to give them up.<br /> I brush my teeth after my shower as a towel covers my body.<br /> As I look inside my closet, I wonder what Iโm going to wear. I think Iโm going to go with my green cocktail dress and some black heels. I decided to put light makeup on myself.<br /> I run, hearing my cell phone inside the kitchen. โHello.โ<br /> โHey, baby,โ Elliot says over the phone. โIโm sorry, but I have to reschedule our date. I have an emergency at work that I canโt get out of.โ<br /> I sigh. Itโs not the first time that this has happened.<br /> โI can always come over tomorrow.โ He suggests.<br /> โSure.โ<br /> โI am sorry, but I truly have to go now. See you tomorrow.โ He hung up before I have the chance to say goodbye to him.<br /> I just got dressed for nothing.<br /> I need some air.<br /> I grab my jacket to go upstairs to the rooftop. I love to go there and think.<br /> As I arrive, I stare up at the sky. A full moon is out tonight.<br /> I hear a noise and when I look to where it was coming from, I jump as I see a shadow not far from me.<br /> โRelax, buttercup. Itโs just me.โ He smirks, seeing my reaction.<br /> I put my hand on my chest while my heart beat fast. โGod, Owen. Warn someone before you give them a heart attack.โ<br /> He takes a drag from his cigar, as he keeps staring at me.<br /> Will he stop doing that?<br /> โYou know, one of these days, this will kill you.โ I point at what he has in between his fingers.<br /> He exhales the smoke from his lungs while his eyes try to pierce my soul.<br /> I feel nervous under his stare, but at the same time, I feel drawn to them.<br /> โWho cares how I would die. Eventually, everyone will meet their fate. Not that I care, but where are you going dressing up like that?โ<br /> I look down on myself. โI was supposed to go out on a date with my boyfriend. He cancelled at the last minute. He has an emergency at work.โ<br /> Owen licks his lips. โMaybe heโs screwing with someone as we speak.โ<br /> I cross my arms in front of me, feeling annoyed by him. โWhy are you so mean to me? I never did something to deserve this. Besides, I trust him. He would never do something like that to me.โ<br /> I take a few steps to leave but stop at the last minute. โAll I did was try to be nice to you, and thatโs what I get.โ<br /> He frowns his eyebrows. โI never asked you freak. Itโs not my problem if you canโt handle the truth.โ<br /> โUgh, Iโm leaving,โ I say as I step further away from him.<br /> โGood riddance.โ He says loud enough for me to hear him.<br /> Owenโs words start to hunt me more than they should. I trust Elliot. Heโs a good man. Iโm sure all he wanted was a reaction from me, and he succeeded.<br /> Thatโs all and nothing else.<br /> I trust Elliot. I say one more time.<br /> <br /> I look around my apartment, and Iโm satisfied with the cleaning. Iโm not a clean freak. I just love my apartment to be spotless. While I cleaned my apartment, it distracted me from what happened yesterday.<br /> <br /> Owenโs words still bother me.<br /> <br /> โ<br /> Maybe heโs screwing with someone as we speak.โ<br /> <br /> Ugh! Why did he have to say this?<br /> <br /> I know it isnโt true. I trust Elliot. When we spend time together, he never gives me the impression that heโs cheating. Heโs always a sweetheart.<br /> <br /> Iโm so lost in my thoughts that when the doorโs bell ring, I jump a little.<br /> <br /> โIt must be Elliot,โ I say to myself as I go to answer the door.<br /> <br /> โHey, baby.โ Elliot smiles at me, holding a huge bouquet of red roses in his hands.<br /> <br /> Like I said, a sweetheart.<br /> <br /> I love roses. I think they are pretty, but they arenโt my favourite kind. The flower that I love the most is called sakura in Japanese. Which means cherry blossom.<br /> <br /> โAre those for me?โ I ask him.<br /> <br /> He smirks. โWhy of course. Only the best for my girlfriend.โ<br /> <br /> โWhat did I do to deserve such a gift?โ I play along.<br /> <br /> โDo I need a reason to spoil you?โ He wonders in a playful tone. โI saw them, and I thought of you.โ<br /> <br /> Out of nowhere, someone chuckles behind Elliot. As my boyfriend moves to the side, I see Owen ready to go inside his apartment while he has an arm around a womanโs waist.<br /> <br /> Off course.<br /> <br /> โ<br /> Are you here, because you want to freak?โ<br /> I remember Owen saying those words to me.<br /> <br /> Stop thinking about this, or youโre going to blush in front of him, and FYI you arenโt interested in him. You have a boyfriend so you can forget it. I scold myself.<br /> <br /> โSo this is the boyfriend.โ Owen looks at the flower in Elliotโs hands. Thatโs what I thought.โ He laughs, guiding his guest inside his apartment.<br /> <br /> What did he mean by thatโs what I thought?<br /> <br /> Is he referring to his words from last night?<br /> <br /> Why do I even bother racking my brain over this?<br /> <br /> Owen isnโt worth my time if he's acting like a jerk.<br /> <br /> Elliot clears his throat once we are inside my place. โSo, who was that?โ<br /> <br /> I take the bouquet from his hands. โOwen Blake, my new neighbour.โ<br /> <br /> He nods his head, but he doesnโt seem happy. โWhat did he mean by that what I thought? Did you speak to him?โ<br /> <br /> I open a kitchen cabinet to grab the vase. โHeโs my new neighbour. I couldnโt ignore him.โ<br /> <br /> Even if heโs an hip.<br /> <br /> โSo.โ He rubs his chin with his fingers. โWhat did he mean when he said thatโs what I thought?โ He repeats the question.<br /> <br /> I bite my lips nervously. I donโt know how he will react if I tell him, but I canโt lie to him. That wonโt be fair. Besides, I donโt have anything to hide.<br /> <br /> I pour some water inside the vase. โI told him that you were working late last night, and he said that it was because you were cheating on me. โ<br /> <br /> He frowns. โDid you believe him?โ<br /> <br /> I shake my head. โOf course not. I know you will never do such a thing to me.โ<br /> <br /> He let out a sight. โI donโt like this.โ<br /> <br /> I turn my head to look at him. โYou donโt like what?โ<br /> <br /> He folds his arms in front of him. โHim. He seems dangerous. You should stay clear of him. Better yet, come live with me permanently.โ<br /> <br /> Not this again!<br /> <br /> We already talked about this. He knows exactly where I stand on that matter. How should I put this in words so I wonโt upset his feelings? He barely stepped inside my apartment, and we are already talking about this.<br /> <br /> Yes, we argue sometimes. We are a couple. Everyone argues sometimes.<br /> <br /> I cut the edges of the roses before I put them in the vase. โ We talked about this. Iโm not going to move in with you, just because you dislike my neighbour. Iโm a big girl, I can take care of myself.โ<br /> <br /> Freak!<br /> <br /> Was I too harsh?<br /> <br /> Elliot inhales sharply, nodding his head.<br /> <br /> I know heโs not happy with my answer, but itโs the truth. Iโm not saying. Iโm saying not right now.<br /> <br /> Maybe itโs time to change the subject?<br /> <br /> Before I have the chance to do any of that, I feel Elliotโs arms circling my waist from behind. โIโm sorry, okay? I donโt come here to argue with you.<br /> <br /> Itโs like he read my mind.<br /> <br /> I turn around to bring my arms around his neck. โSo, how was work yesterday?โ<br /> <br /> Elliot makes a face, looking at me. โI donโt want to talk about work when Iโm with you.โ<br /> <br /> Itโs not the answer that I was looking for. I canโt blame him as I didnโt give him the answer that he wanted. So I will put this matter to the side and concentrate on my boyfriend.<br /> <br /> I smile at him. โAnd do tell me, what do you have in mind?โ<br /> <br /> Elliot smirks before he pecks my lips. โTrust me, baby, I have an idea, but first I want us to go out, and then later at my place, I will show you what I have in mind.โ<br /> <br /> Yesterday, I took the time to make myself pretty for our date that didnโt even happen. If he wants to take me out, he will have to take me with what Iโm wearing.<br /> <br /> I move away from him to go grab my purse and my jacket.<br /> <br /> โAre you going to change first?โ He wonders, looking at my body.<br /> <br /> I put my hand on my waist. โAre you saying that what Iโm wearing isnโt good enough for you?<br /> <br /> โNo.โ Heโs quick to say. โIt's just that I love seeing you in a cute little dress.โ<br /> <br /> I cross my arms in front of me. โIf you havenโt ditched me yesterday, you would have seen me into one.โ<br /> <br /> โIt wasnโt my fault. I had an emergency, and you know it.โ His words raise a little as he speaks.<br /> <br /> Thatโs exactly what I wanted to avoid us arguing.<br /> <br /> I go to him and peck him on the cheek. โIโm sorry, okay. I donโt know why I said that. I know it was out of hand on my part. Can we go now?โ<br /> <br /> He leaves a peck on my forehead. โIโm sorry too.โ<br /> <br /> Elliot takes my hand in his to guide us out of my place. I guess he doesnโt want to argue either.<br /> <br /> As we walk, a noise that comes from Owenโs apartment makes me freeze on the spot.<br /> <br /> โYes! Yes! Blake, yes!โ<br /> <br /> I bite my lips. I never screamed this way when Iโm intimate with Elliot. Am I missing something? Iโm not saying that our drill life is boring, Iโve never been so loud.<br /> <br /> Is it me, or does Elliot make us walk faster than necessary?<br /> <br /> I look around after the hostess of the restaurant shows us our table. As I look around, I notice that everyone is wearing nice clothes. We are definitely in a luxury fashion restaurant.<br /> <br /> I should have probably listened to Elliot and worn something nicer.<br /> <br /> Did he do it on purpose?<br /> <br /> No, Iโm sure he didnโt. I donโt even know why it crossed my mind.<br /> <br /> As I sit on the chair, I notice that the woman whoโs sitting to my right is judging me for the way sheโs looking at me. Maybe it has something to do with what Iโm wearing. I feel undressed. Is it as if everyoneโs judging me? I clear my throat, looking at the menu instead.<br /> <br /> Elliot didnโt notice anything. Heโs on the phone with someone from his work. I donโt mind. Iโm used to it by now.<br /> <br /> โNo. No, this isnโt a good idea.โ Elliot frowns as he speaks. He doesnโt seem happy. โWe will deal with this tomorrow.โ He hung up right after.<br /> <br /> I look at him with concern. โIs everything ok?โ<br /> <br /> โMmhmm.โ He mumbles.<br /> <br /> I wonโt push on the matter. If he wants to talk about it, he will.<br /> <br /> A young woman around my age stands beside us. โHello, my name is Lucy. I will be your waitress for tonight. Are you ready to order?โ She asks with a smile on her lips.<br /> <br /> I look through the menu, and even though everything seems delicious. I decided to go with something light. โA Caesar salad for me.โ<br /> <br /> She nods her head, writing it on her pad. โAnything to drink?โ<br /> <br /> I shake my head. โNo. Just water, please.โ<br /> <br /> Lucy turns her intention to my boyfriend. โAnd you, sir?โ<br /> <br /> โIโm going to go with the lamb shanks and a bottle of your finest beverage.โ He closes the menu and gives it to her.<br /> <br /> I let out a sigh. Itโs not that Iโm bothered that he has money, but he doesnโt have to show it every time we go out. He would have brought me to a food truck for our date, and I would still enjoy myself. I donโt need much. Just spending time with him would be enough for me.<br /> <br /> Elliot takes my hand once Lucy leaves with our order. โSo, what did you do today?โ<br /> <br /> I give him a smirk. โI donโt want to talk about work. Wasnโt what you wanted?โ<br /> <br /> He let out a chuckle. โI guess I deserve that.โ<br /> <br /> I look to my right, and the woman from earlier once again is staring at me. The guy thatโs with her is trying to get her intentions, but he falls miserably.<br /> <br /> Poor guy.<br /> <br /> As Elliot looks at the same woman, I notice his expression change for only a second.<br /> <br /> Iโm about to ask him whatโs up with that when Iโm distracted by Lucy as she brings our meals.<br /> <br /> I get up from my seat. โIf youโll excuse me, Iโm going to powder my nose.โ<br /> <br /> Elliot takes my hand to leave a peck on my skin. โOk.โ<br /> <br /> Iโm not going to powder my nose. It was better to say this than say Iโm going to the toilet to do the number one. I have manners.<br /> <br /> Once Iโm finished, I look at my reflection in the mirror. The thing I love the most about me is my hair. At first, you think they are black, but when the light hits them, the brown shines through them.<br /> <br /> As I walk back to my table, I stop on my track. I see the woman from earlier sitting in my seat while she talks with Elliot. He doesnโt seem happy with her presence.<br /> <br /> Whatโs wrong with this picture? I wonder.<br /> <br /> When Elliot sees me approaching them, I see the panic in his eyes.<br /> <br /> Owenโs words from last night replay in my head.<br /> โ<br /> Maybe heโs screwing with someone as we speak.โ<br /> <br /> Am I gullible to think that Elliot isnโt cheating on me? I have to get to the bottom of this before I make any accusations. I could be wrong here. It can be nothing.<br /> <br /> โElliot, whatโs going on?โ I look at him, then at her, and back at him.<br /> <br /> He quickly stands up from his seat. โShe was just leaving. Werenโt you, Clara?<br /> <br /> She bats her eyelashes rapidly. โHoney, I think itโs time for her to learn the truth. Donโt you agree?โ<br /> <br /> I cross my arms in front of me. โAnd who exactly are you?โ<br /> <br /> I suspect whatโs going on.<br /> <br /> Clara laughs, looking at me. โIโm the woman who slept with him yesterday and the days before.โ<br /> <br /> I canโt believe this. He told me that he wasnโt cheating.<br /> <br /> I look around, and everyone is staring at us.<br /> <br /> I canโt believe what is happening.<br /> <br /> โTaylor.โ I hear Elliot says my name.<br /> <br /> I ignore him completely. I go grab my coat and purse to get out of here. On the way out I call a uber company to come and pick me up.<br /> <br /> Once Iโm outside, waiting. Someone grabs my hand, and I know who that is. Iโm quick to remove my hand from his hold.<br /> <br /> โTaylor, please let me explain.โ He has the nerve to plead with me, after what he did.<br /> <br /> No. I wonโt stay here and listen as he tries to find an excuse for what he did. I ignore him completely as I look ahead me.<br /> <br /> โTaylor, please. I want to talk to you.โ He tries again.<br /> <br /> โThereโs nothing to talk aboutโ I snap at him.<br /> <br /> โElliot, there you are.โ Clara joins us outside. โNow that she knows, we can finally be together.โ<br /> <br /> Donโt cry. I say to myself. Not here, and certainly not in front of her.<br /> <br /> He turns to look at her to ask her to leave. An argument between them starts, and thankfully, I see the uber appear on the road.<br /> <br /> Neither of them notices that I get in the uber.<br /> <br /> All I want is to go home. A tear falls down my cheek as I try to keep it at bay. The driver doesnโt seem to be effective in my situation. Iโm sure in his line of work he saw this a lot of times.<br /> <br /> I stand in front of my door with the keys in my hand. I donโt want to go in. Something tells me that Elliot is on his way to talk to me. I donโt want to see him.<br /> <br /> A stupid idea coss my mind.<br /> <br /> Iโm sure that Iโm going to regret this, but for now, itโs my best option. Elliot will never think to search for me there.<br /> <br /> I walk until Iโm in front of Owenโs door and knock on it.<br /> <br /> Freak! Maybe the girl that he was with is still with him.<br /> <br /> Iโm about to turn around as I change my mind when his door opens.<br /> <br /> He frowns at me. โItโs you again.โ<br /> <br /> โIโm sorry to bother you.โ I feel shy under his stare.<br /> <br /> I donโt know why Iโm standing here. I donโt even know the guy. I swallow my pride. โCan I come in, please? I argued with Eliott, and Iโm not ready to face him yet.โ<br /> <br /> To my surprise, he opens his door wider, just enough for me to enter his place. | Red111 | 15 | https://facebook.com/61554959872521 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

My dad is really mad at you and Raven being mates." Twin sister Reagan said to my mate.<br /> "I don't mind rejecting her, but I would have been embarrassed to face my mate" Justin said.<br /> "My father has decided to appoint me as his future Alpha not my sister Raven. So, I will be your luna." Reagan said to Justin.<br /> ******** <br /> I silently run through the woods letting my wolf Emerald out tonight. She has been anxious all day, well really the last few days, and I could tell that she needed to come out for a run. <br /> Alpha Cole Walker is the Alpha of the Blood Walker pack. He is said to be one of the most dangerous Alphas in the United States. It is said that he would hurt anyone who dared to enter his pack uninvited. Due to this fact, most of our pack members studiously avoid this area altogether.<br /> My twin sister, Reagan, is the golden child of the pack. They all love her unconditionally. She is cherished and appreciated, no matter what she does. They all seem to ignore the fact that she is a horrible and mean she-wolf. I was born first, and with that should come the respect that after I find my mate, I will officially be the Luna here, and he will take over as the Alpha of the pack. Yet they all treat her as the next Luna. <br /> My sister and I are the only children that our parents had. The Goddess never blessed them with another child, even though they tried for years. My father, Alpha Graham Sullivan, is very strict with me. I am not allowed to leave my room other than to eat my meals and then return back to my room again. I am also not allowed to leave our pack for any reason. I have never even crossed the border of the Sliver Blade pack in my life. <br /> I was the Alpha's daughter, but I was not a valued member of this pack. Telling on me has always resulted in a bonus for whoever told on me to my father. I have had to learn how to overcome this on my own. It has made me very independent over the years, as well as a very good climber. I use the tree outside my window at the pack house, to climb up and down to get in and out of my room.<br /> From my vantage point, I can see who is coming now and rolled my eyes so hard I almost saw my brain. It was Reagan, and she was pulling the arm of a pretty large guy, as she headed toward the grassy bank near my tree. I realized right this moment that I have picked a terrible place to hide. I should have doubled back and then climbed in my window to my room and I would have been safe and sound in my room. Reagan is clearly out with one of her many men, as she was allowed to stay out and do whatever she wanted to. I mean how else could she beat me to finding her mate if she didn't flirt with all the unmated men in our pack? I rolled my eyes again and then froze when I looked at them again and got a good look at his face.<br /> That smell coming off of him was starting to drive me wild, he smelled like freshly baked cinnamon buns, and I was now pissed off. She had come here with the guy that I had a crush on, someone with whom she had never shown any interest in before. It was our Beta's son and the guy that I have had a crush on for the last year and a half.<br /> "No, don't stop them, Raven, she has already been dating with him for the last few months. This is not the first time, it has been well before he returned to the pack earlier this week. They are together now, dating, and they have both vowed to reject their actual mates to stay together to take over and run this pack. Please, just try to bear it, I will help you get through it. I am glad that you are in a secure location, this may make you pass out" Emerald linked me, and I felt physically sick.<br /> "How do you know this? Did she know that he is my mate? Why can't I approach him? Maybe he wants me, Emerald. Please let me stop this. He might not know that I am his mate, he may still want me, want US! I don't want to lose him, Emerald. He may not be aware his true mate is here. Can't he already smell our scent up here, like I smelled his scent? Are you sure that this is the only way? Please Emerald" I linked her back, and I feel the tears that are already sliding down my face. I have questions, and I need answers.<br /> I am frustrated. I don't want to give up on my true mate. He doesn't even know that I am here, and I do want him. I don't want to give him up, especially not to my sister Reagan. I don't know if I can survive this level of betrayal.<br /> "I can't wait for mom and dad to announce to the pack that we will be the Alpha and Luna tomorrow. This is something that I have really wanted for the last 8 years. I am so glad you decided that we could be chosen mates. " My sister says to my mate.<br /> "Besides, I am also glad that you are willing to lead the Silver Blade pack with me. I have a feeling that my freak of a sister who keeps staring at you is going to be crushed when she finds out that we are together. You dodged by deciding to accept me as your chosen mate. I know that she has a crush on you, so she would probably try to ask you out or something when she sees that you are back from break." She adds.<br /> "I think we will be so happy together. Raven will be so angry when she finds out that we planned this months ago. I cannot wait for her to find out. I even told mom to have her sit on the front row for the pack meeting tomorrow, so I can see her face when dad makes the announcement. I am going to put her next to you so it will hurt her more when dad calls you up on stage. When she realizes that her crush is going to be my mate, she is going to be so jealous of me. I am so going to get a picture of her face when she finds out, as I will want to remember that moment for a long time" I heard Reagan say to him, and I was so choked up I couldn't hold in the sob of pain that managed to escape.<br /> It wasn't loud, but with werewolf hearing, it was loud enough. I just stayed completely still and prayed that they hadn't heard me, but Justin started talking when my sob escaped, and they had no reaction, so I think I am safe.<br /> "I have always thought that you were a she-wolf, Reagan. I am so glad that you came up to my training with your offer, and for us to get extra special time together. If Raven were allowed to move around the pack, I don't think that she would be missing the fact that she is my mate. I scented her today when I got back to the pack and confirmed she is my mate. Per our agreement, I don't mind rejecting her, as I am clearly getting the better sister out of this deal. I would have been embarrassed to have to call that freak of nature my mate" Justin said, and with it, my heart was completely crushed.<br /> These two evil people deserved each other, and I will not waste another tear on his betrayal. He "chose" her, so he can keep her. She will never be faithful to him, and he will not ever be able to trust that their children are his either. She was just doing this to ensure that they become the next Alpha and Luna. She is what he wanted, so she can have him. I am thoroughly disgusted by both of them, and I will not allow them to make me sad one more day. I had already decided to get out of this horrible pack, and I will not miss the Silver Blade pack for a second. <br /> "She is your mate? Are you serious? Oh, this is the best" Reagan said as she laughed out in joy at hearing this information. "Justin, why haven't you mentioned this to me before?" Reagan continued.<br /> "I just found out about it earlier today as I have been gone for my training for the last 4 months. I caught my mate's scent and followed it so I could go ahead and reject them. I realized it was coming from the Alpha level, and when I went up and it led me straight to her door, it was really faint, but I sensed it. She doesn't even know it yet. I am sure that this information is not going to go over well with your parents. They may be upset when they find out. Are they still going to want us to move forward with our plan? Or are they going to want me and Raven to be mates because we are true mates?" Justin asked Reagan. I have to admit, I was interested in her reply as well, but I already suspected what the answer was going to be.<br /> "Oh no Justin, you will definitely be staying with me. I know dad is really going to get a kick out of you and Raven being mates. Mom might feel a little bad for her, but I think that this is great. I could not be happier that her true mate, will become my chosen mate.<br /> We will rule the Silver Blade pack together, and it will hurt her every day to see us together. It is my pack any way, it was never going to be hers. Maybe if we are lucky since she doesn't have a wolf, she won't be able to scent you, and your rejection might even hurt her when you do it. That would be the best-case scenario for all of us" Reagan said, and I could tell that Justin was a little shocked at how hateful she was. Reagan could tell that Justin was not liking this side of her so she quickly changed her attitude and started cooing at Justin, "She doesn't deserve you, baby, I love you and I want you. Hopefully, you will come to love me too.<br /> I was just worried, I don't want you falling in love with my sister after we have already mated." Reagan said to Justin, looking up at him adoringly through her long lashes. I have to admit, she really knows how to work people to do what she wants them to. Her ability to look innocent and pure is without measure, she could have been an actress.<br /> "Dad hates Raven. He will be very happy about this. He has never loved her since the day that she was born. Mom might be a little upset, but she will get over it. She and dad are chosen mates, she gave up her true mate to become the Luna of the Silver Blade pack. She did it herself, and if it is good enough for her, then it is good enough for me to do it as well. We make the perfect couple. We will have strong pups, and our pack will flourish" Reagan said, and I am stunned. I knew my dad was mean, but to hate me, why? What reason could he possibly have for hating me? My parents have told the whole pack numerous times through the years that they were true mates. They are very affectionate with each other in front of the pack. I didn't even know that they weren't true mates. What else don't I know about them?<br /> "We will do the same thing. You will have to reject Raven first thing in the morning, or after the pack meeting. But you will have to do it where no one else will hear you. Dad is going to tell the pack that we are true mates, so they will fully support us. Dad thinks that it would be a mistake to not have the pack's full support behind us when we go to take it over from my parents" Reagan said, and I am amazed at all the plans that they have kept away from me. Just another thing that shows how much difference there is between Reagan and me. I hear them touching again and wonder when they plan on leaving the area, don't they need to get back to the pack house?<br /> I narrow my eyes at Reagan, as she is ecstatic about getting to truly rub all of my misfortune in right now. Justin is getting the opportunity to reject me, so the situation that we are now in is all positive for them.<br /> "Raven, why are you out of the house? Are you supposed to be out here? Are you OK? That fall looked like it hurt pretty bad" I hear my sister ask me with an innocent look on her face like she cared about me. She was fully aware of how I am kept a prisoner here at the Silver Blade pack. I really have to get out of here. I needed to check and see how badly I am hurt because I don't know if I even have time to go pack a bag now. I may be having to leave here with nothing, but I am OK with that. I just need to get the heck out of here. I will figure out what I need to do after I am safely free of Silver Blade.<br /> "Are you ignoring me, Raven? Are you sure you want to do that to me? Fine then, I will just make sure that you get punished for leaving your room. You are not supposed to be out here anyway. I will just let dad know that you are out here, and he will take care of you" Reagan said with a smirk, and then she started mind linking. <br /> I and my wolf were running away from this pack. But they caught us immediately.<br /> "If you come back here now Raven, I won't punish you for leaving your room without permission" I heard my father tell me. <br /> "Nothing in the world could possess me to do that father," I told him, and I see his eyes glazing over as he goes to link someone. I could care less what they have to say to me, and I turned to walk away. <br /> "You will get punishment in the Blood Walker pack. You know how dangerous they are Raven, you have heard this fact for your whole life. They cannot be trusted, and you are now a rogue. We have told you, and the whole pack, exactly what happens to those who trespass on their land. The moment they scent you they will move in, and you will die today. Is that what you want? Do you want to die? I will get you more freedom in the pack. I will allow you to go to the library every day instead of once a week. How does that sound?" my mother's voice is calming and comforting. She has never before sounded as nice as this, and I know that dad put her up to try to lure me back into the Siler Blade pack. They must be desperate to do it, so I want to see how far they intended to go with it.<br /> "Let me ask you this mother. Was the plan to get Justin to take Reagan as a chosen mate her idea, or dad's?" I asked her. Mom is not a very good liar. I can see her expression as we are only about 20 feet apart from each other right now. <br /> "I don't know what you are talking about Raven, they are mates," my mom said to me, and now I smirk at her. Clearly, mom was keeping me out of the loop and doesn't know that I know for a fact that they aren't.<br /> "Thanks for always lying to me mom. That makes it so much easier on me. I will not be coming back to the Silver Blade pack. This is the last time, Goddess willing, that you all will probably see me and actually I am welcoming the death that is coming to me. It will be better than the life I have lived since Reagan tried to hurt me, and my own dad called me a liar when I told him what actually happened. Justin is not her mate mom, and I know this because he is MY mate. It is disgusting what all you three have done to me and allowed to be done to me my whole life. I never deserved to be treated the way I was. I can only hope that I can find my way and get to live a life that allows me to find someone who loves me and realizes that I am a good person. I don't think that is too much to ask for, do you mom? It seems like you and dad are willing to do anything to get me to come back over the fence, but we both know that if I did come back, I would either immediately be thrown in the cells. So, I will take my chances over here, where at least I have a chance" I told them and turned again to leave. I only made it a few steps before I was stopped again by my father's hateful words.<br /> "You are ungrateful daughter, How do you have the nerve to say that to me? I have clothed and fed you, provided you a room, and let you go to school. I did take care of you, and it is disgusting to see how you repay me. Lying about Justin being your mate. Trying to take your sister's mate away from her. I know that I can speak for your mother as well as myself when I say that we hope the Blood Walker pack disposes of you quickly. I only wish I could punish you myself" my dad roared out, and the hate was coming off of him in waves.<br /> "You disgust me father," I told him and the tone I used to draw out the word father let him know just how little I thought of him being my father. "I have never done anything to cause a problem or disruption in the pack, or in the family. I did what I was told this whole time. Even as knowing that you let the whole pack know that I was fair game if they wanted to hurt me, and they did dad, over and over again. You know what, it was my family that really took the award for the most torment. Your unwarranted hate, mom never supporting me, and my sister allowed to try to hurt me, and incite others up against me made me realize that life will be much better on this side of the border than it was on that side. Even if I only live an hour more, it would be better than the years I spent over there."<br /> I wiped off my tears and walked past them, suddenly, I hear something coming to meโฆ<br /> <br /> <br /> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><br /> Wanna listen more? download our App and check more!

And he said he would never hurt me.<br /> He was my everything, in these few short moments, he has given me a safe haven, a home in his arms.<br /> When I came to his pack with him, I noticed that everyone around me was staring at us.<br /> โSeriously, why are they staring at us? Itโs kind of creepy,โ I asked him.<br /> โLuna, itโs so good to meet you!โ a girl said to me.<br /> โWhy are you calling me Luna, and what is wrong with all these people? Have you never seen an overgrown giant carry a broken girl before?โ<br /> โWe are calling you Luna because Drake is our alpha.โ<br /> My jaw drops as I look back at Drake. <br /> โThey are all staring at him because they are scared of him. He is Alpha Drake Moon of the Blood Moon pack.โ<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Lilly's POV<br /> I limp out of the room. It takes all of our concentration to stay on our feet, but after a minute bile rises up my throat. My insides churn as I trip and fall, the ground moving below me, but as I land, I land in someoneโs arms.<br /> I look up, my eyes watering as I take a large inhale of his scent, the anxiety and turmoil inside my body relaxing as I look into his perfect, perfect face. Tingles of pleasure ripple under my skin as his hands hold my body, replacing the pain with peace. As our eyes meet itโs like a current flows through me, straight into him. Layla gasps as we watch each other.<br /> โMate.โ<br /> โMate,โ we both cry at the same time, tears flooding my vision as he pulls me against him.<br /> โWhaโoh myโwho did this?โ he roars, my body flinching. โSorry, no, donโt be scared of me. But who would do this?โ he says to me, stuttering.<br /> I wasnโt sure if he was talking to me or not, or maybe he was just in shock, rambling because he was nervous.<br /> But before I could find out, My body shuts off as I pass out in the mate of my dreamsโ arms, Layla finally relaxing as the world around us goes into darkness.<br /> --<br /> I wake up with a sense of loss. I panic, not knowing where I am. Machines are beeping, I am cold, I have no idea what is going on.<br /> My heart pounds in my chest as I try to move, my body screams in pain. Iโm blinded by a light as I try and remember what is going on.<br /> The faster my heart rate beats the louder the beeping gets. I squint, lifting my head.<br /> Just then the man of my dreams runs through the door. Realising I am dreaming I take a breath, relaxing as my breathing starts to level out.<br /> โAre you ok!!!โ He grabs my face. But to my shock sparks light up all over my body. Layla pushes forward as his touch wakes us up.<br /> โThat doesnโt normally happen,โ I whisper to him.<br /> He frowns. โWhat doesnโt?โ<br /> His voice is louder than usual. It was like velvet, smooth but strong, demanding but patient. The sound brought life to my ears, filling me with hope.<br /> โIn my dreams you didnโt feel sparky.โ<br /> Layla pushes forward, purring as she moves our head into his hands. He looks at me, puzzled. โYou dreamed of me?โ<br /> โAm I not dreaming now?โ I ask.<br /> His eyebrow shoots up into the air as he lets out a chuckle, shaking his head. โNope, Iโm all real, babe.โ<br /> My mind is racing, trying to think of what he is talking about. What day was it? What happened? When did he get here? I had so many questions that I needed answers too, but every time I tried to ask, the sheer beauty of his face stunned me to silence.<br /> โYouโre not dreaming, Lilly. This is real, he is real,โ<br /> Layla tells me softly. Tears pool in my eyes as I take in every inch of his perfect face.<br /> He is all man, ruggedly handsome. His messy hair was long, out of place where his fingers had slipped through his dark brown locks. It is scissor cut at the sides, giving definition to his sharp and chiselled jaw. The muscles in his cheeks ripple as he talks.<br /> He must be 25/30 years old, clean shaven and so so beautiful. His dark long lashes frame his beautiful brown eyes. They hold wisdom, sparkling against the bright light, but the dark circles under his eyes had me worrying.<br /> Was he ok? Why did he look so tired? So stressed?<br /> He is tall, really tall, maybe 6ft 2/6ft 4. His large wide shoulders are perfectly proportioned to his huge muscular body. The black T-shirt he was wearing stretched over his body, fitting him far to snug for my liking.<br /> A sense of jealousy overwhelms me as I see what every other female sees, simply put he was walking, talking perfection and the thought of anyone but me ogling him left a bad taste in my mouth.<br /> My dreams have done him justice, but not even my subconscious could muster up the true beauty that stands before me.<br /> I reach out to touch him, my hand connecting to his face, sparks lighting up my fingertips as I watch him, amazed that anyone could be this beautiful, shocked that he was made for little old me and fearful that I would never be worthy of such a hunk.<br /> But as he closes his eyes at my touch, moaning, I canโt help the smile that spreads across my face.<br /> I was stunned that I too could make him feel that same sense of peace and acceptance that he made me feel every time we touched.<br /> dropping his head slightly, his breath fans my face.<br /> My body goes to blubber as his sweet vanilla scent makes my mouth water, setting every nerve end in my body on fire. Filling me with need and a desire so strong it almost chokes me.<br /> Layla pushes forward before I have the chance to stop her, her own strength overpowering my body easily, she grabs his face and slams our lips against his.<br /> My eyes slam closed and my mind comes to life, every colour of the rainbow explodes behind my eyelids as our lips touch for the very first time.<br /> We both freeze in shock, I was nervous he would reject us, but my body slowly relaxes as he busses me back.<br /> My body immediately responds, my lips fit against his perfectly, made for each other, like it was always meant to be.<br /> He moans as his tongue softly prods at my lips. My mouth opens just as he sweeps his tongue against my own. My body jolts to life when the sparks start in my mouth and spread throughout my body.<br /> Our buss is amazing, all consuming as every painful sore muscle loosens, my body wrapping around his as I pull him towards me. All sense goes out the window at his touch.<br /> โAchhhhhhhhhmmm.โ<br /> He starts to pull away but Layla isnโt having it, instead dragging him closer.<br /> โAcccchhhhhhemmmmmmm.โ<br /> He pulls back only slightly, chuckling when I realise we are no longer alone but Layla continues to cling to him, not wanting to let him go.<br /> โBabe, the doctorโs here to see you. Maybe we can pick this up when we are alone.โ My face flushes red.<br /> โOh, sorry. I might have gotten a little carried away,โ<br /> Layla tells me, giggling. I roll my eyes at her. โA little? Jeez, I donโt even know his name,โ I snap back as she cackles away in my head.<br /> โIโm so sorry, Iโm so embarrassed,โ I whisper, my cheeks heating. He snorts, shaking his head. โDonโt be, I didnโt want to stop either.โ<br /> A girly giggle escapes my lips at the fact someone that bloody beautiful wanted to buss me. Just then the doctor walks over, smiling. โDonโt worry about it. I canโt say I blame you to be honest,โ he tells my mate, winking. My mate growls, glaring at him. โMine,โ he snaps.<br /> The doctor snorts, shaking his head as I blush again, bright red. Gosh, I canโt remember ever blushing this much before ever.<br /> โWhatโs your first name?โ the doctor asks.<br /> โItโs Lilly, Lilly Morgan,โ I say with a small smile. โAnd what pack are you from, Lilly?โ<br /> Oh, the pack! My dadโs going to kill me. I am meant to be helping them.<br /> โOh, fuckity balls!โ I squeak, jumping up and looking around the room.<br /> โHey, wow, itโs ok! Stay calm, youโre ok here.โ I shake my head, realising my clothes are covered in dry blood.<br /> My mate runs his hand up and down my back gently. โShhh, itโs ok, I promise.โ<br /> I take a breath, his touch calming both me and Layla. It almost makes me feel sedated as my entire body relaxes. โUm, Iโm from Droim Mor pack,โ I say nervously, afraid I will get in trouble.<br /> โAnd what happened to you, Lilly?โ I chew my bottom lip. What do I say? I look between them nervously.<br /> โHe is our mate. We can trust him.โ<br /> โBut what will he do? What if dad turns him against us?โ<br /> She shakes her head. โNo, no more thinking about him. We need to move on, Lilly, and our mate is the way out!โ<br /> โLilly, itโs ok. They wonโt hurt you ever again. But I need to know who hurt you, baby.โ I look into his eyes and every fibre in my body believes what he says, but it is still extremely hard to admit it out loud.<br /> โMyyy f-atherrr,โ I whisper.<br /> He lets out a sharp growl. My body tenses at the noise. I clench my eyes closed, taking a deep breath to calm my racing heart.<br /> Suddenly the noise stops and his hands land on my back, calming me once again. โSorry Lilly, I didnโt mean to scare you.โ<br /> He lifts my chin, his eyes meeting mine. โI wonโt hurt you, I wonโt ever hurt YOU.โ<br /> Every emotion possible passes through me at his words, my heart shattering as all the fear, the anxiety and depression all come crashing down as I sob into my hands. I had been holding it all back for years, only letting a little escape at a time.<br /> But it felt like it was a dam that my mate pulled to pieces in a few short seconds, exposing the truth of the past, the pain that I had been through and the trauma that I would live with forever.<br /> โItโs ok, he wonโt hurt us,โ Layla says softly, trying to comfort me.<br /> โI know, but I canโt believe itโs over,โ I tell her. He pulls me against his chest, running his hand up and down my back. โShhhhh, itโs ok, Iโve got you now, babe.โ<br /> For some silly reason that makes me cry harder. Every pain, break, bruise, every time he raped me, hit me, kicked me. It all hits me, it all destroys me as I cry it all out. I felt like a weak little girl, being held together by a big strong man. Strangely, I didnโt hate it, in fact, I craved that strength, that safe space where I could fall apart and still be held together.<br /> He was it, he was my everything, in these few short moments, he has given me a safe haven, a home in his arms.<br /> โIโm so sorry, Iโm so sorry I scared you, Iโm so sorry I wasnโt there. But I am now, and nobody will ever hurt you again,โ he tells me, rubbing calming circles up and down my back.<br /> I pull back, wiping my face as I shake my head. โItโs not on you, he did this, not you.โ I use his shirt to wipe my tears.<br /> He chuckles, watching me as I pull myself together.<br /> When Iโm done sobbing like a big baby he lifts my chin and he places a gentle buss against my lips.<br /> โOk, Lilly, I need you to lie back so I can check you over,โ<br /> the doctor says, pulling me from my thoughts.I smile, lying back as he comes to my side.<br /> My mate whose name is still a mystery glares at him. He watches as he lifts my top to check my body. My mateโs eyes widen as he gasps, looking to the doctor and back to me.<br /> He starts to poke and prod at me. Nothing hurts all that much. I look like bad but I no longer feel like bad. Layla turns away from me, going to the back of my head and shutting me out.<br /> โI donโt know how, Lilly, but your ribs are already healed.โ<br /> โYeah, they donโt hurt either.โ He frowns, looking to my mate. His face is like stone as the doctor helps me sit up.<br /> Other than feeling a little dizzy I feel ok. He checks me over, shining lights in my eyes, tapping my reflexes and checking the wound on my head.<br /> โOther than a concussion and a lot of bruising, your body has somehow healed. Iโm not sure how, but it has.โ He starts writing stuff down on a chart. โIf you promise to take it easy I donโt see why you canโt take her home today.โ<br /> I look to my mate awkwardly. His face lights up as he smiles down at me. โI think I can see to that.โ<br /> I sigh in relief. The thought of going back near that monster makes me feel physically ill. โOf course it goes without saying that you stay far away from your father.โ<br /> โDonโt worry, if I have my way she wonโt ever see his dirty rotten face again,โ he snaps.<br /> I smirk up at him as he turns, lifting a bag and placing it on the bed beside me. โI had my people run out and grab you some clothes.โ<br /> โPeople? You have people?โ I ask, chewing my lip. He nods. โYes, we have people now,โ he answers.<br /> โDo you need help getting changed, Lillyโโ Before the doctor even has a chance to answer, our mate growls, his wolf pushing forward and grabbing him by the scruff of the neck. โMine!โ The doctor puts his hands in the air.<br /> โI meant the nurses! Youโre really big,โ he wheezes, catching his hand. Satisfied with that answer, our mate drops him. โIf my mate needs help I will help her,โ he snaps impatiently.<br /> โYes, I think we have established that, jeez.โ He pats his shirt down, clearly amused by the entire thing as I take into a fit of giggles, shaking my head.<br /> โSo not to make things awkward but would you mind telling me your name?โ I ask, scratching the back of my head. The doctor bursts out laughing at the fact.<br /> My mate smirks, looking at me. โDrake, Drake Moon.โ<br /> โSeven, double O seven,โ the doctor teases. Drake glares at him as I laugh, shaking my head. โYou realise itโs Bond, James Bond, right?โ I ask, his face flushes red.<br /> Drake snorts, laughing with me.<br /> โYeah, I think itโs time for Mr Bond over here to get out, get out right now,โ he snaps at the poor doctor.<br /> I am so busy laughing I donโt even care that that was totally rude. โJust trying to lighten the mood, dude, but whatever. Good luck, Lilly.โ He winks as he leaves, closing the door behind him.<br /> Drake watches him go. Then he turns back to me. โDid he just call me dude?โ He says it like it tastes funny, screwing his face up as I laugh even harder. He chuckles, pulling clothes out of the bag for me.<br /> โWe didnโt know your size, so Fiona got you one of those long dresses with a cardigan.โ He pulls out a black maxi dress with a yellow cardigan. It is simple but pretty.<br /> I pull off my shirt and hand it to him. His eyes widen as he freezes, his eyes on my chest. I take the dress from his hand and I pull it over my head, smirking at him. โYou ok over there?โ I ask.<br /> He shakes himself a little, his eyes returning to my eyes as his face flares slightly. โYeah, sorry. I just wasnโt prepared,โ he says, clearing his throat.<br /> I chuckle, grabbing the cardigan. I pull it on. He hands me a brush next, so I pull it through my tangled web of hair, giving up and pulling it into a messy bun on my head.<br /> โWhat time is it? Iโm starving.โ<br /> โBreakfast.โ Iโm surprised by that. โHow long have I been sleeping?โ He checks the time on his watch. โI found you at 3pm yesterday. Itโs seven now, so 16 hours.โ<br /> I shake my head. โHe started the beating at around seven yesterday morning. I must have passed out until I walked into you.โ<br /> His jaw ticks, closing his eyes. โIโve never seen anything like it before. I donโt know how you were even conscious and I definitely donโt know how youโre healed right now.โ<br /> I shrug, wondering that too. Layla is still locking me out so she is zero help. He passes me my Converses next so I pull them on and touch my toes to the floor, cringing as the muscles in my legs ache. He catches my hips as I take a step, my head going woozy as I grab hold of his arms.<br /> โWow,โ I snap, losing my balance.<br /> He scoops me up. โYeah, youโre not walking anywhere like that. Iโll just have to carry you,โ he smirks, planting a soft buss against my lips. I smile against his lips, relaxing into his arms as he surrounds me, making my tiny frame feel so safe.<br /> โDo you want to eat in the room or in the dining hall with myโno, sorry, our people?โ I wish I knew what โour peopleโ meant.<br /> Layla comes forward smiling at me. โDo it! I want to meet them,โ she tells me encouragingly. โThe dining hall, please.โ<br /> He smiles, grabbing my phone off the side table and he hands it to me. I check it as we walk. I have so many messages from Emma. Feeling guilty, I open them immediately.<br /> โHey howโs the summit?โ<br /> โHey where are you?โ<br /> โLilly youโre doing that really annoying thing that you do, text me back please!!โ<br /> โOh for heaven's sake you better have a good excuse for not answering meโ<br /> โWho is that?โ Drake asks, pushing his head between me and my phone to look at my messages. I giggle. โItโs my best friend Emma. Sorry, only friend. She just met her mate and moved to the Blood Moon pack and she gets crazy if I donโt text her back.โ<br /> He smirks, pursing his lips. โWhat does she think of it? Blood Moon I mean?โ<br /> I shrug. โShe seems to like it ok, said the people are nice. The alpha is a little scary but the pack is better than the one we came from.โ<br /> He nods his head. โWhy is he scary?โ he asks, screwing up his nose.<br /> โI donโt know. She said when he walks into the room he shuts most conversations down. He only really socialises with his ranked members.โ He shrugs.<br /> โMaybe he only socialises with his ranked members because thatโs all the people in the world he can trust. Blood Moonโs a big pack, a lot of people would be out for his job.โ I nod my head. โI hear that. Up until now Emma is the only person in the world that I can trust.โ<br /> He smiles, not adding anything more as I type a message back.<br /> โHey sorry, I met my mate and I didnโt have my phone. But Iโm ok, I can ring you later when things settle downโ<br /> โIf you trust her, why are you lying to her?โ I shrug.<br /> โI donโt want her to worry about something she canโt change. Sheโs all the way there and Iโm all the way here, plus Iโm ok really.โ<br /> โYouโre ok? Lilly youโre black and blue. You have a concussion. You are the definition of not ok.โ I smirk at him.<br /> Layla purses her lips. โMaybe he has a point,โ she says thoughtfully. โI am, yeah Iโm black and blue, but Iโm not in pain. I found you. To me Iโm ok.โ<br /> He smiles at me. โYouโre really rather remarkable, arenโt you?โ I blush as he drops his head in the crook of my neck, sniffing me. โAnd you smell so good!โ<br /> He nips my neck with his teeth, sending a shiver straight down my spine. I gasp at the feel of his lips against my skin. It feels like I have just found my heart and soul. Now itโs having a party, celebrating the fact that we are finally back together.<br /> โSo these people that are ours, who are they?โ I ask, trying to distract myself from the flooding of my arousal flowing through my body. I definitely donโt want the entire lobby smelling my arousal. โJust our people,โ he says, heading towards the dining room.<br /> โBut why are they our people?โ He purses his lips, thinking. As we walk, everyone in our path steps out of it. It is like they are grapes shrivelling up and turning into raisins.<br /> --<br /> Reaching the dining hall the entire place goes quiet. I look behind us, wondering what they are afraid of. He snorts, chuckling.<br /> โWhat are they so afraid of?โ I snap, making him laugh, shaking his head. A table not far in front of us all stand up, grinning as we approach. But by now you could hear a pin drop. The entire place has completely shut down.<br /> โSeriously, why are they staring at us? Itโs kind of creepy.โ He just continues to chuckle as two men and a lady smile. โLuna, itโs so good to meet you!โ I freeze, looking up at Drake.<br /> โWhy is he laughing, why are you calling me Luna, and what is wrong with all these people? Have you never seen an overgrown giant carry a broken girl before?โ<br /> I snap louder, glaring at the crowd as Drake throws his head back, howling. His friends look between each other, then back at us. โI canโtโyouโtellโher, I canโt,โ he splutters, taking a seat with me on his knee.<br /> The girl starts to giggle, shaking her head. โWe are calling you Luna because Drake is our alpha, me and Ben are his betas, and Mark is his gamma.โ<br /> My jaw drops as I look back at Drake. โThey are all staring at him because they are scared of him. He is Alpha Drake Moon of the Blood Moon pack.โ<br /> My face falls as I gasp. Turning around I slap his shoulder. โYou big prick, you let me go on and on.โ<br /> He howls in laughter again as the crowd around us gasp at me hitting him.<br /> โOh shut up. Heโs my mate, Iโm allowed to hit him.โ I glare at an old pair sitting behind us as Drake takes a deep steadying breath.<br /> โI swear that was amazing,โ Drake says as he finally stops laughing at me. He leans forward, bussing my lips as I glare at him.<br /> โOh come on, donโt be grumpy. It was a little funny.โ I smirk, trying to hide my smile. Lifting my fingers I pinch them together. โOk, maybe a little.โ<br /> He pecks my lips again, pulling back, and he buries his head in the crook of my neck, sniffing in my scent. His body relaxes immediately as I look back at โour peopleโ.<br /> โSo Iโm a luna? Are you sure you want me as a luna?โ<br /> I ask, screwing up my face.<br /> โOh we want you as a luna! You just hit the alpha. I love you already and there is no give backs. We are keeping you,โ the one called Ben says.<br /> Fiona nods her head in agreement. โAgreed, we are keeping you.โ<br /> โI also think youโre awesome,โ Mark adds.<br /> Drake snorts. โYouโve never called me any of those things.โ<br /> โThatโs because youโre a big grump. Luna Lilly is already winning,โ Fiona says. Drake flips her the bird. โThatโs your birthday present going into the furnace when I get home.โ<br /> She snorts, rolling her eyes. โOh please, I have your card in my back pocket. I donโt need no half assed attempt at a gift when I can just buy my own, thank you very much,โ<br /> she snaps, opening her menu and winking at me. I giggle as Drake rolls his eyes.<br /> โSo are we ever going to get to the part where you tell us who did that to you, Luna?โ My body tenses immediately. All thoughts of my father have all but disappeared. But as I shake off the feeling and go to open my mouth I hear a growl rumbling through the dining hall.<br /> One so familiar my entire body runs cold. My heart rate accelerates as all the breath leaves my lungs. I scrunch my eyes closed as my frame starts to tremble in fear, tears pooling in my eyes. Waiting for the hit that usually came after that terrifying sound. | Shep002 | 61 | https://facebook.com/100093452425291 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Kayan<br /> I was betrayed by two people I trusted implicitly, my best friend and my fiancรฉ, or so i thought.<br /> Without saying a word, I bent down and picked up my phone. By this time Dimitri had donned his boxers and his slim fit navy dress pants. Mariana on the other hand was gripping the white sheet, trying to cover her body and was sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> Normally her tears would have stirred some sort of emotion but I felt absolutely nothing looking at her.<br /> Dimitri stepped towards me with his outstretched hand but I stepped back, and when I spoke my own voice surprised me.<br /> Two words, " How long?". I stared at both of them expectantly. Dimitri sighed and rubbed his face, looking at me with regret.<br /> When no response was forthcoming from him, I turned to Mariana and pinned her with a glare. " Shut up Mariana! I asked a question and I need an answer now!" I shouted.<br /> She pulled her knees to her chest as her body shook in fear, she had only seen me angry once so she knew not to taunt me. Dimitri on the other hand, was stunned.<br /> She looked at me and stuttered in fear " S....si...six months", and hung her head low. I absorbed her reply, laughed hysterically, which caught both of them by surprise. They looked at each other shrugging their shoulders and just as I started laughing suddenly, I stopped abruptly.<br /> "Six months you say? I guess this is the part where you'll say it was a mistake, you never meant to hurt me and you're both sorry right?." I spoke calmly, surprising myself.<br /> Dimitri was first to speak " Kay, please I'm so sorry. We were both tipsy after your work anniversary party,and after I dropped her off, everything went to terrible. I'm so sorry baby but..." I laughed again, cutting him off mid sentence.<br /> I held my hand up then turned to Mariana" What about you bimbo, any last words?" Her eyes bulged in fear and I watched her squirm in fear. She knew I could put a bullet between her eyes even with my eyes closed , thanks to my Dad taking me to the pistol range every Saturday for 2 years.<br /> She sprung to her knees, the sheet fell exposing her and I saw all the hickeys along her neck and on her breasts. "Kay please, let's talk about this. I'm so sorry and I regret this. I'm so sorry for hurting you like this, it wasn't planned."<br /> The nerve of this woman, I thought. I should have listened to my gut all those months ago. She kept thwarting our plans, started traveling a lot and would barely take my video calls then. And she kept changing or bashing my wedding plans and like a fool, I brushed it aside.<br /> Dimitri was the same, one business trip after another, late nights and then he was distant. When I asked him about it, he promised to do better than what he did, but there was a subtle change. We no longer have sleep.<br /> Both of them looked at me expectantly, waiting for the weak, docile Kayan to shed tears and assure them everything would be okay.<br /> I dropped my phone into my bag, grabbed my pistol and clicked the safety off. I swiftly fired two rounds which were followed by agonizing screams. I shot Dimitri in his thigh just inches from his shaft while Mariana got hers in her right shoulder. Just enough to cause pain but not be fatal.<br /> I walked out the room but turned to them saying " That's for the betrayal, I never want to see or hear from either of you again. The next time you won't be so lucky."<br /> I descended the stairs shakily, I touched my face checking for tears but there were none. My chest was convulsing but I refused to give in to the pain I was feeling.<br /> As I got to the last step, I looked around, marched over to the fireplace and threw all photos she had of us together into it. I lifted the stoker, broke her 60" Samsung TV and everything went red from thereon. I trashed her apartment then walked out as if nothing happened.<br /> I grabbed my baseball bat from my trunk, smashed all her windows and doors. Just as I about to leave, I saw Dimitri's Silver Range Rover across the street.<br /> How didn't I notice it before?<br /> I walked up to it and repeated my actions. When I was satisfied, I hopped into my van and drove away.<br /> ---- <br /> Dimitri<br /> I couldn't believe Kayan shot us and simply walked away. I had known her for over 6 years but I never encountered this side of her. I knew I deserved that, worst of all, I ruined the one good thing I had done.<br /> I was thinking with my shaft and not my brain, because in assessing the current situation, Mariana was just a good woman. There is attraction, but the feelings I have for Kayan are deeper.<br /> Her sobs reverberated around the bedroom , bringing me back to the current situation.<br /> When Kayan left the room, I heard her trashing Mariana's apartment downstairs and was about to go after her.<br /> Mariana's words stopped me dead in my tracks, "Leave her be, Dimitri, she will kill you! She needs to calm down first before we approach her." I turned to her slowly, trying to ignore the pain and blood gushing from my wound.<br /> "What do you mean Mari? I'm going after her! There is no us. This was a mistake. I need to talk to her!" I ran my hands over my face then slid my belt around my leg making a tourniquet.<br /> She slid off the bed, gripping the sheet with her uninjured shoulder. " Take it from me, we're lucky to be alive! You have never seen her upset or know what she's capable of in this state but I do!" She tiptoed to the door listening for any further sound from downstairs, but was greeted with silence.<br /> Mariana sat on the stairs shaking and crying while gripping her disheveled hair.<br /> The front door was ajar, I moved to lock it but the sight of Mariana's car took my breath away. I looked across the street to mine and it looked even worst.<br /> I shook my head, sighed and turned too quickly, causing a searing pain in the bullet wound.<br /> I called my driver Michael and told him to be quick and discreet.<br /> Mariana got dressed in the meantime while we waited with bated breaths.<br /> Michael arrived in about 10 minutes, his eyes expressed shock but he knew better than to ask any questions.<br /> He drove us to Wyckoff Medical, the only place I knew would be discreet about what happened.<br /> Using the back entrance, we were quickly ushered into separate rooms for assessment.<br /> As I laid on the bed, I felt Dr. Green prodding my wound for the bullet. He's been our family physician since I was a child, so when he asked who I pissed off this time , I sighed and ignored him.<br /> All I could think about was Kayan, she was my everything!<br /> Not anymore you prick, you screwed up and you're lucky to be alive, I shook my head, trying to shake guilt ridden thoughts from my subconscious.<br /> I reminisced on all the times we spent together, the plans we made for our future and our kids. I reflected on how she supported me even when my own father doubted me. She never gave up on me. You shut up Dimitri!<br /> Dr. Green waved his hand above my eyes while calling my name. " Did you hear anything I said just now?" he asked quietly.<br /> I sighed " No, what is it?". My tone was clipped but right now I didn't care, I could apologize later.<br /> He rolled his eyes before continuing "I said there's a detective waiting outside to talk to you, you know it's my duty to report this." He grabbed a scissors and cut the thread, signaling that he had finished stitching my wound.<br /> "You'll live, but stay off your feet for a few days, and use a crutch if you have to move around." Dr. Green bandaged my leg and was about to leave when I stopped him.<br /> "Wait, I apologize for my behavior Doc. Where's the young lady who came in with me? I need to see her now." He looked at me sadly, shook his head and left the room without a word.<br /> My guess is he figured out why Kayan hadn't rushed into the hospital demanding answers. The realization hit me of how I not only disappointed Kayan but everyone close to me, especially my parents. <br /> I must have dosed off from the pain medication I had gotten as I was woken up by Mariana gently shaking my shoulder and calling my name.<br /> Blinking my eyes to adjust to the bright lights, I grabbed the remote and adjusted my bed. Mariana looked terrible, her hair was unkempt and her eyes were swollen. Her right arm was bandaged and now in a sling.<br /> She sat in the chair beside the bed and hung her head low. " I spoke to the police, I told them we were mugged at the apartment as we were trying to finalize wedding arrangements." It was barely a whisper, but I sighed in relief.<br /> "We messed up but I agree, I'll tell them the same thing. Kayan doesn't deserve this." My throat felt hoarse so I reached for a tumbler with water, poured a cup and took several sips.<br /> " I told you we needed to stop Dimitri but you insisted on coming over!" I pinned her with a glare which caused her to shut up immediately.<br /> The nerve of this woman! I laughed coldly before turning to her " Oh so now it's my fault Mar? Surely you weren't complaining when I rammed your wet dripping private part with my shaft right? You never said stop! Anything else I'm forgetting?" My chest was heaving by the time I finished ranting.<br /> I was about to continue but her sobs erupted. She looked at me lost, guilt etched across her face before she stood to leave.<br /> "Look Mar, I'm sorry okay. I just don't know what to do." I held her wrist, my thumb caressing the inside of her hand in a comforting way. "How did she get in though?"<br /> Mariana was trembling as tears streamed down her face. She took a deep breath before she spoke. "I forgot she had a key from over a year ago. She would always check the place when I traveled for a convention or went to see my family."<br /> My mouth opened to speak but no words were forthcoming and they never came as the door banged open, slamming into the wall denting it.<br /> Jumping with fright, we turned to see my very pissed off father and my distraught mother. Before I could utter a word, he spoke," You, get out now and don't let me see your face again!" Mariana jumped in fear and ran from the room sobbing before I could stop her.<br /> "Dad i can explain...." He slammed his hand onto the small table, knocking the tumbler over.<br /> My mom grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down but he flicked her hand away and grabbed my hospital gown roughly, "Explain what exactly Dimitri? How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> "I'm going to fix this Dad, just give me a chance please." I turned towards my mom seeking support but she turned her head away from me. " Mom, please I'm sorry, I'll fix this. I'm gonna make everything right."<br /> My Dad simply scoffed at my words, took my Mom's hands and walked out the door.<br /> The only sound that filled the room was that of the water droplets bouncing on the floor.<br /> ---- <br /> Mariana<br /> I have never been more regretful in my entire life. My head was throbbing non stop, my eyes were puffy from all the tears I'd shed in the past 24 hours. My mind replayed the events and all I could think of, was that I should be dead by Kayan's hands.<br /> My driver dropped me off to the apartment, and as I stepped inside I once again surveyed the damage. Nothing was left untouched, I had to start over but I guess that's the price to pay for stabbing your best friend in the back for six months.<br /> I wanted to stop so many times, I knew it was wrong but Dimitri was like a spirit I couldn't get enough of.<br /> We decided to take the secret to our graves and everything was going great until I saw him a week later at Danny's Cafe. We sat and talked for a while but after an hour when we attempted to leave, the sexual tension was just too much to ignore.<br /> From thereon, we used our lunch breaks and any free time we could muster to screw each other senseless. After each encounter, we'd say it was the last time , but that never happened as soon after I took trips when he did or he came to my apartment before going home.<br /> All this time, I gave Kayan a million excuses as to why we couldn't meet up, continued planning her wedding virtually and offered excuses when she whined about Dimitri being overly consumed by work.<br /> I even ended things with my own boyfriend as our relationship became strained and miserable because of my infidelity.<br /> Now this is the endgame, I lost my best friend who always stood by me and I'm pretty sure Dimitri and I have no future.<br /> Sitting on the stairs, I decided to take a leap of faith and call Kayan. If I could just get her to listen to me for a second, I would tell her how sorry I am and try to fix things.<br /> As I dialed her number, it went directly to voice-mail, and after trying a few more times unsuccessfully, I decided to go see her. I ordered an Uber, waiting outside for a few minutes before the car pulled up.<br /> I got in, gave the driver her address and stared blankly out the window. The only sounds were that of the music playing in the dashboard.<br /> Ten minutes later, I was standing on the curb outside Kayan's townhouse. Hesitantly, I opened the gate, trudged up the steps and rang the bell. I was there waiting for a few minutes, I called her but there was no response.<br /> I walked to the garden by the lamp post where she always hid a spare key. It was gone.<br /> Just as I was about to step from the yard, I was stopped in my tracks by a faint voice. My hopes increased but when I turned around expecting Kayan, no one was there.<br /> What was that then, I thought to myself.<br /> I reopened the Uber app, placed my request and waited by the curb.<br /> "She's not here you know." I was startled by the voice and was relieved to see her neighbor Michael.<br /> "What do you mean? Where is she?" I asked hurriedly.<br /> He eyed me suspiciously before replying,<br /> "Seeing you here looking like poop tells me you had a role in Kay's sudden departure 2 hours ago." His words were true yet hurtful, I castedmy eyes down in shame.<br /> "You don't know, Mike, just tell me where she went, I need to talk to her before it's too late" I begged him.<br /> The prick was nonchalant as he leant against her gate typing away on his phone. After getting a ping, indicating a message, he looked up at me smirking.<br /> "Well if you must know, my girl left for England indefinitely..." he paused, struggling to hold back a snicker, "...Oh and she says you should go yourself or Dimatro, whatever the pretty boy's name is." Michael was now clutching his side laughing hysterically while I sighed in defeat.<br /> She's gone! And now there's no way I will find her because I can't go to her family and I'm pretty sure she's already changed her number!<br /> I didn't warrant Michael a response since the Uber pulled up, I hopped in and left.<br /> My phone began vibrating in my pocket and I grabbed it quickly, just hoping it would be Kayan. I was disappointed as Dimitri's name flashed on the screen.<br /> "What do you want Dimitri? Haven't we done enough, didn't you hear what your father said?" I shouted angrily, catching sight of the driver's raised brows in the rear view mirror.<br /> "Calm down Mari, I wanted to apologize for my Dad. I'm getting discharged now so I'm heading home, I need to sort things out with Kay." Though I had wanted the same thing minutes ago, I couldn't help the pang of jealousy that gripped me.<br /> Before I could stop myself I snarled in response<br /> "Thanks for asking how I'm doing you prick! Oh and don't bother going there because she's gone!"<br /> "What are you talking about Mari! This is not the time to joke with me..." I'd had enough of his nonsense so I cut him mid sentence " Kay's gone Dimitri, I just left the house, she's not home and her neighbor says she left for England." The other end of the line was silent.<br /> I looked at the screen to see if the call had been disconnected but the line was still open.<br /> "Dimitri?" He sighed in response and I heard him grunt in pain, perhaps moving too quickly on his injured leg.<br /> "I'm here Mari. How will I fix things if I don't know where to find her? Of all the places, she had to chose England!? Couldn't she have just gone to her parents? What am I going to do now?"<br /> I wanted to speak but my throat felt as if it was clogged.<br /> I cut the call, switched to airplane mode and rested my head against the window as fresh salty tears rolled down my cheeks.<br /> I lost everything.<br /> My best friend. Dimitri . And a family who accepted me without judgement and showed me nothing but love all these years. | Wha002 | 29 | https://facebook.com/61554783541379 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Mariana on the other hand was gripping the white sheet, trying to cover her body and was sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> Normally her tears would have stirred some sort of emotion but I felt absolutely nothing looking at her.<br /> Dimitri stepped towards me with his outstretched hand but I stepped back, and when I spoke my own voice surprised me.<br /> Two words, " How long?".

I absorbed her reply, laughed hysterically, which caught both of them by surprise. They looked at each other shrugging their shoulders and just as I started laughing suddenly, I stopped abruptly.<br /> "Six months you say? I guess this is the part where you'll say it was a mistake, you never meant to hurt me and you're both sorry right?." I spoke calmly, surprising myself.<br /> Dimitri was first to speak " Kay, please I'm so sorry. We were both tipsy after your work anniversary party,and after I dropped her off, everything went to terrible. I'm so sorry baby but..." I laughed again, cutting him off mid sentence.<br /> I held my hand up then turned to Mariana" What about you bimbo, any last words?" Her eyes bulged in fear and I watched her squirm in fear. She knew I could put a bullet between her eyes even with my eyes closed , thanks to my Dad taking me to the pistol range every Saturday for 2 years.<br /> She sprung to her knees, the sheet fell exposing her and I saw all the hickeys along her neck and on her breasts. "Kay please, let's talk about this. I'm so sorry and I regret this. I'm so sorry for hurting you like this, it wasn't planned."<br /> The nerve of this woman, I thought. I should have listened to my gut all those months ago. She kept thwarting our plans, started traveling a lot and would barely take my video calls then. And she kept changing or bashing my wedding plans and like a fool, I brushed it aside.<br /> Dimitri was the same, one business trip after another, late nights and then he was distant. When I asked him about it, he promised to do better than what he did, but there was a subtle change. We no longer have sleep.<br /> Both of them looked at me expectantly, waiting for the weak, docile Kayan to shed tears and assure them everything would be okay.<br /> I dropped my phone into my bag, grabbed my pistol and clicked the safety off. I swiftly fired two rounds which were followed by agonizing screams. I shot Dimitri in his thigh just inches from his shaft while Mariana got hers in her right shoulder. Just enough to cause pain but not be fatal.<br /> I walked out the room but turned to them saying " That's for the betrayal, I never want to see or hear from either of you again. The next time you won't be so lucky."<br /> I descended the stairs shakily, I touched my face checking for tears but there were none. My chest was convulsing but I refused to give in to the pain I was feeling.<br /> As I got to the last step, I looked around, marched over to the fireplace and threw all photos she had of us together into it. I lifted the stoker, broke her 60" Samsung TV and everything went red from thereon. I trashed her apartment then walked out as if nothing happened.<br /> I grabbed my baseball bat from my trunk, smashed all her windows and doors. Just as I about to leave, I saw Dimitri's Silver Range Rover across the street.<br /> How didn't I notice it before?<br /> I walked up to it and repeated my actions. When I was satisfied, I hopped into my van and drove away.<br /> ---- <br /> Dimitri<br /> I couldn't believe Kayan shot us and simply walked away. I had known her for over 6 years but I never encountered this side of her. I knew I deserved that, worst of all, I ruined the one good thing I had done.<br /> I was thinking with my shaft and not my brain, because in assessing the current situation, Mariana was just a good woman. There is attraction, but the feelings I have for Kayan are deeper.<br /> Her sobs reverberated around the bedroom , bringing me back to the current situation.<br /> When Kayan left the room, I heard her trashing Mariana's apartment downstairs and was about to go after her.<br /> Mariana's words stopped me dead in my tracks, "Leave her be, Dimitri, she will kill you! She needs to calm down first before we approach her." I turned to her slowly, trying to ignore the pain and blood gushing from my wound.<br /> "What do you mean Mari? I'm going after her! There is no us. This was a mistake. I need to talk to her!" I ran my hands over my face then slid my belt around my leg making a tourniquet.<br /> She slid off the bed, gripping the sheet with her uninjured shoulder. " Take it from me, we're lucky to be alive! You have never seen her upset or know what she's capable of in this state but I do!" She tiptoed to the door listening for any further sound from downstairs, but was greeted with silence.<br /> Mariana sat on the stairs shaking and crying while gripping her disheveled hair.<br /> The front door was ajar, I moved to lock it but the sight of Mariana's car took my breath away. I looked across the street to mine and it looked even worst.<br /> I shook my head, sighed and turned too quickly, causing a searing pain in the bullet wound.<br /> I called my driver Michael and told him to be quick and discreet.<br /> Mariana got dressed in the meantime while we waited with bated breaths.<br /> Michael arrived in about 10 minutes, his eyes expressed shock but he knew better than to ask any questions.<br /> He drove us to Wyckoff Medical, the only place I knew would be discreet about what happened.<br /> Using the back entrance, we were quickly ushered into separate rooms for assessment.<br /> As I laid on the bed, I felt Dr. Green prodding my wound for the bullet. He's been our family physician since I was a child, so when he asked who I pissed off this time , I sighed and ignored him.<br /> All I could think about was Kayan, she was my everything!<br /> Not anymore you prick, you screwed up and you're lucky to be alive, I shook my head, trying to shake guilt ridden thoughts from my subconscious.<br /> I reminisced on all the times we spent together, the plans we made for our future and our kids. I reflected on how she supported me even when my own father doubted me. She never gave up on me. You shut up Dimitri!<br /> Dr. Green waved his hand above my eyes while calling my name. " Did you hear anything I said just now?" he asked quietly.<br /> I sighed " No, what is it?". My tone was clipped but right now I didn't care, I could apologize later.<br /> He rolled his eyes before continuing "I said there's a detective waiting outside to talk to you, you know it's my duty to report this." He grabbed a scissors and cut the thread, signaling that he had finished stitching my wound.<br /> "You'll live, but stay off your feet for a few days, and use a crutch if you have to move around." Dr. Green bandaged my leg and was about to leave when I stopped him.<br /> "Wait, I apologize for my behavior Doc. Where's the young lady who came in with me? I need to see her now." He looked at me sadly, shook his head and left the room without a word.<br /> My guess is he figured out why Kayan hadn't rushed into the hospital demanding answers. The realization hit me of how I not only disappointed Kayan but everyone close to me, especially my parents. <br /> I must have dosed off from the pain medication I had gotten as I was woken up by Mariana gently shaking my shoulder and calling my name.<br /> Blinking my eyes to adjust to the bright lights, I grabbed the remote and adjusted my bed. Mariana looked terrible, her hair was unkempt and her eyes were swollen. Her right arm was bandaged and now in a sling.<br /> She sat in the chair beside the bed and hung her head low. " I spoke to the police, I told them we were mugged at the apartment as we were trying to finalize wedding arrangements." It was barely a whisper, but I sighed in relief.<br /> "We messed up but I agree, I'll tell them the same thing. Kayan doesn't deserve this." My throat felt hoarse so I reached for a tumbler with water, poured a cup and took several sips.<br /> " I told you we needed to stop Dimitri but you insisted on coming over!" I pinned her with a glare which caused her to shut up immediately.<br /> The nerve of this woman! I laughed coldly before turning to her " Oh so now it's my fault Mar? Surely you weren't complaining when I rammed your wet dripping private part with my shaft right? You never said stop! Anything else I'm forgetting?" My chest was heaving by the time I finished ranting.<br /> I was about to continue but her sobs erupted. She looked at me lost, guilt etched across her face before she stood to leave.<br /> "Look Mar, I'm sorry okay. I just don't know what to do." I held her wrist, my thumb caressing the inside of her hand in a comforting way. "How did she get in though?"<br /> Mariana was trembling as tears streamed down her face. She took a deep breath before she spoke. "I forgot she had a key from over a year ago. She would always check the place when I traveled for a convention or went to see my family."<br /> My mouth opened to speak but no words were forthcoming and they never came as the door banged open, slamming into the wall denting it.<br /> Jumping with fright, we turned to see my very pissed off father and my distraught mother. Before I could utter a word, he spoke," You, get out now and don't let me see your face again!" Mariana jumped in fear and ran from the room sobbing before I could stop her.<br /> "Dad i can explain...." He slammed his hand onto the small table, knocking the tumbler over.<br /> My mom grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down but he flicked her hand away and grabbed my hospital gown roughly, "Explain what exactly Dimitri? How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> "I'm going to fix this Dad, just give me a chance please." I turned towards my mom seeking support but she turned her head away from me. " Mom, please I'm sorry, I'll fix this. I'm gonna make everything right."<br /> My Dad simply scoffed at my words, took my Mom's hands and walked out the door.<br /> The only sound that filled the room was that of the water droplets bouncing on the floor.<br /> ---- <br /> Mariana<br /> I have never been more regretful in my entire life. My head was throbbing non stop, my eyes were puffy from all the tears I'd shed in the past 24 hours. My mind replayed the events and all I could think of, was that I should be dead by Kayan's hands.<br /> My driver dropped me off to the apartment, and as I stepped inside I once again surveyed the damage. Nothing was left untouched, I had to start over but I guess that's the price to pay for stabbing your best friend in the back for six months.<br /> I wanted to stop so many times, I knew it was wrong but Dimitri was like a spirit I couldn't get enough of.<br /> We decided to take the secret to our graves and everything was going great until I saw him a week later at Danny's Cafe. We sat and talked for a while but after an hour when we attempted to leave, the sexual tension was just too much to ignore.<br /> From thereon, we used our lunch breaks and any free time we could muster to screw each other senseless. After each encounter, we'd say it was the last time , but that never happened as soon after I took trips when he did or he came to my apartment before going home.<br /> All this time, I gave Kayan a million excuses as to why we couldn't meet up, continued planning her wedding virtually and offered excuses when she whined about Dimitri being overly consumed by work.<br /> I even ended things with my own boyfriend as our relationship became strained and miserable because of my infidelity.<br /> Now this is the endgame, I lost my best friend who always stood by me and I'm pretty sure Dimitri and I have no future.<br /> Sitting on the stairs, I decided to take a leap of faith and call Kayan. If I could just get her to listen to me for a second, I would tell her how sorry I am and try to fix things.<br /> As I dialed her number, it went directly to voice-mail, and after trying a few more times unsuccessfully, I decided to go see her. I ordered an Uber, waiting outside for a few minutes before the car pulled up.<br /> I got in, gave the driver her address and stared blankly out the window. The only sounds were that of the music playing in the dashboard.<br /> Ten minutes later, I was standing on the curb outside Kayan's townhouse. Hesitantly, I opened the gate, trudged up the steps and rang the bell. I was there waiting for a few minutes, I called her but there was no response.<br /> I walked to the garden by the lamp post where she always hid a spare key. It was gone.<br /> Just as I was about to step from the yard, I was stopped in my tracks by a faint voice. My hopes increased but when I turned around expecting Kayan, no one was there.<br /> What was that then, I thought to myself.<br /> I reopened the Uber app, placed my request and waited by the curb.<br /> "She's not here you know." I was startled by the voice and was relieved to see her neighbor Michael.<br /> "What do you mean? Where is she?" I asked hurriedly.<br /> He eyed me suspiciously before replying,<br /> "Seeing you here looking like poop tells me you had a role in Kay's sudden departure 2 hours ago." His words were true yet hurtful, I castedmy eyes down in shame.<br /> "You don't know, Mike, just tell me where she went, I need to talk to her before it's too late" I begged him.<br /> The prick was nonchalant as he leant against her gate typing away on his phone. After getting a ping, indicating a message, he looked up at me smirking.<br /> "Well if you must know, my girl left for England indefinitely..." he paused, struggling to hold back a snicker, "...Oh and she says you should go yourself or Dimatro, whatever the pretty boy's name is." Michael was now clutching his side laughing hysterically while I sighed in defeat.<br /> She's gone! And now there's no way I will find her because I can't go to her family and I'm pretty sure she's already changed her number!<br /> I didn't warrant Michael a response since the Uber pulled up, I hopped in and left.<br /> My phone began vibrating in my pocket and I grabbed it quickly, just hoping it would be Kayan. I was disappointed as Dimitri's name flashed on the screen.<br /> "What do you want Dimitri? Haven't we done enough, didn't you hear what your father said?" I shouted angrily, catching sight of the driver's raised brows in the rear view mirror.<br /> "Calm down Mari, I wanted to apologize for my Dad. I'm getting discharged now so I'm heading home, I need to sort things out with Kay." Though I had wanted the same thing minutes ago, I couldn't help the pang of jealousy that gripped me.<br /> Before I could stop myself I snarled in response<br /> "Thanks for asking how I'm doing you prick! Oh and don't bother going there because she's gone!"<br /> "What are you talking about Mari! This is not the time to joke with me..." I'd had enough of his nonsense so I cut him mid sentence " Kay's gone Dimitri, I just left the house, she's not home and her neighbor says she left for England." The other end of the line was silent.<br /> I looked at the screen to see if the call had been disconnected but the line was still open.<br /> "Dimitri?" He sighed in response and I heard him grunt in pain, perhaps moving too quickly on his injured leg.<br /> "I'm here Mari. How will I fix things if I don't know where to find her? Of all the places, she had to chose England!? Couldn't she have just gone to her parents? What am I going to do now?"<br /> I wanted to speak but my throat felt as if it was clogged.<br /> I cut the call, switched to airplane mode and rested my head against the window as fresh salty tears rolled down my cheeks.<br /> I lost everything.<br /> My best friend. Dimitri . And a family who accepted me without judgement and showed me nothing but love all these years. | Wha002 | 29 | https://facebook.com/61554783541379 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Instantly, my muscles all revolted against that idea. My entire body was sore, but my core made sure to remind me that it'd taken a beating the night before. I wiped my eyes and sat up, unsure of where I was for a moment. Until I looked around. There were toned and undressed hips all around me. I smiled to myself as I captured the image in my mind for rainy days in my future. Mack, Jones, and Xavier were all tangled in the different blankets they'd brought with them to bed the night before. Earlier that morning, really.<br /> The back of the tour bus was a bedroom, fitted with one massive bed that took up the entire room. The normal tour bus accommodations existed between the bathroom and large bedroom, but no one had volunteered to sleep in their usual bed. They'd each found a way to wrap around me in the big bed and didn't miss the chance to take me once more before we passed out for good.<br /> ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ<br /> Layla<br /> "Oh, yeah! Eat me, Matty!" The woman screaming for my boyfriend was the lead singer of a moderately popular band called The Homewreckers. It was an aptly named band, apparently. Of course, she sounded amazing as she screamed. I always felt like a choking chimpanzee when I came out loud.<br /> I stood in the doorway of The Homewreckers' dressing room and took a deep breath. Unfortunately, it was scented with weed. "Hey, Matthew?"<br /> Matthew, who'd always told me he hated being called Matty, yanked his head out of Miriam Dark's private part and spun around to face me. It was almost comical how fast he spun and how wide his eyes were. He was white collar handsome. His hair was always perfectly cut, his eyebrows were never too long or bushy, and he shaved his face twice a day. He had nice blue eyes and a nice smile. Nice body, nice manhood, nice guy. Well, maybe not a nice guy. After all, his face was covered in another woman's private partl fluids.<br /> "Layla! What are you doing here?" He climbed to his feet and I watched in disgust as he shoved his flaccid manhood back into his nice dress pants. Then, as an afterthought, he wiped his face and stumbled closer to me. "This isn't..."<br /> I rolled my eyes. "It isn't what it looks like? God, Matthew, at least be original."<br /> Miriam took her time closing her legs and gently patted Matthew's shoulder. "Are we done here, Matty? Or do you think you'll be finished soon and want to finish here?"<br /> Laughing, I rolled my shoulders and leveled a hard stare at Matty. "We're done. Whatever we had is over, so feel free to finish playtime with whoever and whatever. I'm on vacation for a few days, so don't call me."<br /> He rushed after me and grabbed my arm. "Wait a second, Layla. I'm sorry. I messed up. Just give me a second to explain."<br /> I yanked my arm free and scowled at him. "Don't touch me."<br /> "Come on, Layla. Don't be like this. Talk to me. I feel terrible." He tried to take my hand again. "Please, baby."<br /> I wasn't going to let him see that I was upset. He didn't deserve that. Instead, I stepped away from him and snarled. "Touch me and I'll break every one of your fingers, Matty. Go and finish sleeping with your client. I believe she's still waiting."<br /> "Jesus. You work for me, Layla! How do you think this is going to go?"<br /> I backed away from him. "I think it's going to go just fine. Like I said, I'm on vacation. Don't call me. Don't message me. Don't think about me. As my ex-boyfriend or my boss."<br /> " Maybe not you, the perfect Layla.You have to accept that." He followed me. "I know that. I shouldn't have started anything with Miriam, but when I'm on the road with the band, it's hard. I miss you and she's there."<br /> My heart hardened and I took a deep breath. "How long have you been sleeping with her?"<br /> He swallowed so hard I saw his Adam's apple bobble. "Come on, Layla. None of this will matter. I'll stop. I'll stop and we can get engaged. You want that, right?"<br /> I gagged. "Ew, Matthew. There's not a chance that I'm getting engaged to you! I'd rather stick my papilla in a truck winch and turn it on."<br /> Miriam sauntered out of her dressing room topless and looked me over. "We've been slept for a year. Matty eats private part like a champ."<br /> A real smile stretched my lips. "Now I know you're full of foolish talk. He might get an climax, but a champ? Hardly. Anyway, enjoy him. I hope him not having a girlfriend doesn't ruin your lady boner."<br /> "Miriam, go back inside! Layla, just stop and talk to me!"<br /> Miriam and I both answered Matthew in unison. <br /> I looked at her and shrugged. "Maybe you're not all bad."<br /> Without waiting for either of them to say anything else, I turned around and walked away, ignoring Matthew as he called my name. Eventually he stopped and I walked faster. I needed to get out of there before I cried. I wasn't about to cry backstage at a music festival. Someone would probably jump out and tit punch me as some anti-crying ritual.<br /> As I walked faster, I couldn't fight the way my eyes filled with tears. No matter how lackluster Matthew was, I'd devoted years of my life to him. I'd just wasted my vacation time on him, too. I thought sneaking out to meet him on the road would be fun and lend some much needed excitement to our relationship. Things hadn't been good...ever...but I'd hoped that we could at least get back to a place where I didn't dread seeing him at work every day.<br /> I wiped at my eyes and felt the mascara I'd coated my eyelashes with earlier. Stupid. I swore and stomped my way farther away from Matthew and the ugly end of our relationship. The image of his hip in the air while he happily ate Miriam Dark's hoo-hah like a pig in slop would forever be burned into my memory.<br /> I couldn't wait to get back home to my apartment and destroy everything of Matthew's that he'd left behind. I needed to update my social media. I didn't do much on it anymore, but I couldn't stand the idea of people thinking I was still with the loser. I'd have to call Grandma. That thought made me want to sob. She hated Matthew, but she liked that I wasn't alone in LA. Knowing I was single again was going to worry her. And if she told Jagger, my older brother, about me being single, Jagger would call and demand to know what'd happened. Then, he would try to fly out and kick Matthew's hip. It was just a mess.<br /> Growling out a frustrated sound, I looked down to make sure I stepped over a big mess of cords. I couldn't believe someone had left the stage like that. It was a hazard. Not to mention, it would be so easy to show if someone tripped over the wrong cord.<br /> I should've been paying attention because when the crowd's wild cheering broke through my self-pitying stupor, I looked up to see how close I'd gotten to the main stage. Unfortunately, a man with a guitar was coming off the stage, looking back at another man behind him. I was moving too fast to stop in time and he wasn't looking. It happened so fast that I didn't even make a sound as I smacked right into the man and felt pain before bouncing off his hard body and going down hard. Those tangled cords.<br /> I heard a deep voice growl above me, but I reached up to feel my forehead and felt something wet. I knew my eyes went as wide as softballs and when I pulled my fingers down and saw red, I groaned. Blood was my kryptonite. My vision darkened and I gagged on my way down.<br /> <br /> Mack<br /> "Well." By the time I realized what was happening, the curvy brunette was flat on the ground. I dropped to my knees next to her and swore when I saw the blood on her forehead. "This is a new form of falling for me."<br /> Xavier squatted on her other side and frowned. "Not really a great time for joking. You knocked her out."<br /> Jones sighed and ran his hands through his hair. "Where'd she come from? Also, maybe look where you're going from now on. You ran the poor thing over. Big time."<br /> I brushed her hair out of her face and had a completely ridiculous moment of feeling like I was staring down at Sleeping Beauty. She was gorgeous. I gently patted her soft cheek. "Ma'am? Hello?"<br /> "Great work. She's jumping right to life." Jones looked over his shoulder. "You've got about thirty seconds to get her on her feet and out of the way before the crowd beats back security and runs back here."<br /> I could hear the commotion he was hearing and ground my teeth. We'd just come off an amazing show. I had planned on going to a bar and getting hammered. Taking care of a Disney princess hadn't been in my plans, but it didn't look like I had an option. I couldn't just leave her on the ground and I didn't know any of the stage hands enough to trust them with an unconscious woman.<br /> "Fine." I stood up and lifted her body over my shoulder. Her head and arms hung limply and bounced off my hip, but I figured it was better for her than getting trampled to death. "Let's get her to our bus and get the medics to check her out. She'll be safe there until she can wake up and go."<br /> Xavier nodded once and charged ahead, clearing a path. He was a giant of a man and no one was dumb enough to stay in his way. They didn't understand what a gentle soul he was. I was thankful for that when they jumped out of our way, though. Especially with a crowd of rabid fans chasing after us.<br /> Jones barked at security to make sure no one followed us out into the artist lot and slammed the heavy metal door shut behind us. He swore and scowled at the door like it was the problem. "What do we even pay security for if they can't keep people away?"<br /> The woman over my shoulder groaned and grabbed my hips. I waited to see if she would say anything else, but she didn't. Her arms fell limp again and I released a breath at not having her scream and freak out while dangling over my shoulder.<br /> "I'll call the medic." Xavier hurried ahead to the bus.<br /> "This puts a damper on my plans." I sighed and glanced over at Jones. "We put on a good show and I was planning on drinking my face off to celebrate."<br /> "The medics are quick. We'll get her taken care of, apologize, and then send her on her way. With the medics, hopefully." He ran his eyes over the full hip over my shoulder. "Too bad you knocked her out before seeing if she wanted to drink with us."<br /> I laughed. "She sure is pretty. I doubt she'll be in a forgiving mood, though. I should've been looking at where I was going."<br /> "Why change now? Forget what I said earlier. We're in our forties. Let's not waste our time. Old dogs and new tricks, you know." He reached the bus before me and opened the door. "You put your guitar down."<br /> I winced. "I'll send a text to Shane as soon as I put her down."<br /> "I'll do it now. They're going to have to chase down whatever fan saw it and took it, probably. I highly doubt it's still sitting where you left it."<br /> I didn't want to think about my baby being in someone else's hands so instead, I focused on the woman in my arms. I climbed the steps and entered the bus, letting the cool AC wash over my overheated skin. The first space on the bus was a living room with four comfortable couches and I eased the unconscious woman down on one of them.<br /> Stretched out on the couch, her curves were even more noticeable. She was wearing tight black jeans and a low-cut top that was black and mostly straps and lace. I didn't get it, but I liked it. It was bad for me to notice her body, but the top curves of her breasts were spilling out of the shirt deliciously.<br /> I forced my eyes to her forehead and frowned. The cut was definitely from my baby. It looked like either a cord or a corner of my guitar had hit her just perfectly to leave a small cut. The skin around the cut didn't look too angry and overall, she looked okay. Besides being unconscious. I ran my hands under the back of her head and felt around to see if I found a lump from her hitting her head on the ground, but there was nothing.<br /> "The medics are tied up at another stage." Xavier growled in frustration and stared down at the woman. "Cut looks fine. Anything along the back of her head?"<br /> I shook my head. "No. She seems fine, honestly."<br /> "I don't like that she passed out." He sat down across from her and rested his elbows on his knees. "Go ahead and shower. I'll watch over her until you're back."<br /> Xavier, Jones, and I had served in the military together. We'd each done enough time to know how to take care of basic medical emergencies and several other things we'd never need in civilian life. It'd been a long time since any of us had to do first-aid in the field, but we could still hold our own.<br /> "Sure. I'll be fast." I winced. "I'm the one who plowed her over. I should be the one that has to explain it."<br /> I showered as fast as possible in the small bus bathroom but I still wasn't fast enough. By the time I shut the water off, I could already hear a husky female voice I didn't recognize ranting away. I wrapped a towel around myself and rushed out to apologize and get her to stop chewing out Jones and Xavier.<br /> What I found wasn't her chewing them out, though. She was pacing back and forth in front of where they sat on their own couches with her hands on her hips and fury on her face. She wasn't angry at us, though. Nope. It seemed another man had pissed in her cereal that morning.<br /> "This is just the cherry on the cake. Why not get a scar to memorialize the day I walked in on my boyfriend cheating on me? I'm so angry I could punch him in the manhood."<br /> I swear all three of us males cringed. I also had to rearrange my thinking. She was no Disney princess. She had spunk, to say the least.<br /> "She had the nerve to brag about his oral skills. Please. I literally have had better climaxs humping my hand. Either her needs are rock bottom, which is great for her if that's the case, or she was just lying to try to hurt me. I'm embarrassed, sure! It's not everyday you walk in on your boyfriend motorboating Miriam Dark's private part lips, but whatever. I'm just pissed. I came all the way here. I shaved. I put lotion on every inch of my body. Even the backs of my knees. Did I care that they're going to get sweaty faster now? Nope. I wanted to be smooth."<br /> I leaned against the doorway and let myself really look at her. She was taller than I'd thought and had legs that stretched on for miles. The black jeans hugged her full hip and hips in a way that made my mouth water. Her waist clipped in just enough that my hands would fit in the notch perfectly if I was taking her from behind. Her shirt made her full breasts look even more delicious while she was standing and I was at half-mast almost immediately.<br /> Her body, as stunning as it was, nearly touched on the beauty that was her face. Her big blue eyes were surrounded by dark eyelashes and her pouty mouth was stained red. She had dark brown hair down to her shoulders that curled wildly. If she hadn't been swearing, her creamy skin would've really made her look like a Disney princess. She could've probably gone down to Florida and got a job playing one of them right then. I'd never been attracted to a Disney princess before, though.<br /> "And you want to know the worst part? I work for the stupid prick. And no, before anyone has the jackass assumption that I'm sleeping my way into my position, I'm not. I'm better at his job than he is and I've been sticking around for even longer than I should've because he kept promising that he'd put in a good word with his boss for me. Because I deserve it. I do his work. I can't remember the last time he's had to do a single thing. At least he chose to sleep with Miriam himself. Although, I'm pretty sure I'd be better at that, too."<br /> Jones snorted and held up his hands when the little firecracker spun on him. "I'm not disagreeing with you, honey. I'm just enjoying hearing you eviscerate this manhoodhead."<br /> She stared at him and slowly her face darkened and she brought her hand up to cover her mouth. She looked absolutely distressed and I hated it.<br /> "What's wrong?" I made myself known and was rewarded with watching her eyes trail down my chest. The way her eyes got all bedroom heavy and she licked her lips turned that almost solid shaft into a full blown shaft. I had to shift to hide it from her curious eyes.<br /> She glanced back at Jones and then at Xavier. "Oh."<br /> Xavier stood up and inched towards her. "Are you okay? Your head... Is it hurting?"<br /> She looked up at him and I saw the way her body naturally swayed towards my giant of a best friend. Something about that made me want to hug her. Some women treated Xavier and his size like a threat and it hurt him. "Oh. I can't believe I didn't realize before now. You're JAX."<br /> Jones sighed and nodded. "Yep."<br /> She pushed her curls back from her face. "Don't worry. I'm not going to fangirl. I'm just mortified. I work for your record label and this is now the most unprofessional vacation I've ever taken. I have to go. Can you just forget you ever saw me?" | Libb002 | 48 | https://facebook.com/61551403614101 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

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. 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.

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. 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.

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.

Instantly, my muscles all revolted against that idea. My entire body was sore, but my core made sure to remind me that it'd taken a beating the night before. I wiped my eyes and sat up, unsure of where I was for a moment. Until I looked around. There were toned and undressed hips all around me. I smiled to myself as I captured the image in my mind for rainy days in my future. Mack, Jones, and Xavier were all tangled in the different blankets they'd brought with them to bed the night before. Earlier that morning, really.<br /> The back of the tour bus was a bedroom, fitted with one massive bed that took up the entire room. The normal tour bus accommodations existed between the bathroom and large bedroom, but no one had volunteered to sleep in their usual bed. They'd each found a way to wrap around me in the big bed and didn't miss the chance to take me once more before we passed out for good.<br /> ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ<br /> Layla<br /> "Oh, yeah! Eat me, Matty!" The woman screaming for my boyfriend was the lead singer of a moderately popular band called The Homewreckers. It was an aptly named band, apparently. Of course, she sounded amazing as she screamed. I always felt like a choking chimpanzee when I came out loud.<br /> I stood in the doorway of The Homewreckers' dressing room and took a deep breath. Unfortunately, it was scented with weed. "Hey, Matthew?"<br /> Matthew, who'd always told me he hated being called Matty, yanked his head out of Miriam Dark's private part and spun around to face me. It was almost comical how fast he spun and how wide his eyes were. He was white collar handsome. His hair was always perfectly cut, his eyebrows were never too long or bushy, and he shaved his face twice a day. He had nice blue eyes and a nice smile. Nice body, nice manhood, nice guy. Well, maybe not a nice guy. After all, his face was covered in another woman's private partl fluids.<br /> "Layla! What are you doing here?" He climbed to his feet and I watched in disgust as he shoved his flaccid manhood back into his nice dress pants. Then, as an afterthought, he wiped his face and stumbled closer to me. "This isn't..."<br /> I rolled my eyes. "It isn't what it looks like? God, Matthew, at least be original."<br /> Miriam took her time closing her legs and gently patted Matthew's shoulder. "Are we done here, Matty? Or do you think you'll be finished soon and want to finish here?"<br /> Laughing, I rolled my shoulders and leveled a hard stare at Matty. "We're done. Whatever we had is over, so feel free to finish playtime with whoever and whatever. I'm on vacation for a few days, so don't call me."<br /> He rushed after me and grabbed my arm. "Wait a second, Layla. I'm sorry. I messed up. Just give me a second to explain."<br /> I yanked my arm free and scowled at him. "Don't touch me."<br /> "Come on, Layla. Don't be like this. Talk to me. I feel terrible." He tried to take my hand again. "Please, baby."<br /> I wasn't going to let him see that I was upset. He didn't deserve that. Instead, I stepped away from him and snarled. "Touch me and I'll break every one of your fingers, Matty. Go and finish sleeping with your client. I believe she's still waiting."<br /> "Jesus. You work for me, Layla! How do you think this is going to go?"<br /> I backed away from him. "I think it's going to go just fine. Like I said, I'm on vacation. Don't call me. Don't message me. Don't think about me. As my ex-boyfriend or my boss."<br /> " Maybe not you, the perfect Layla.You have to accept that." He followed me. "I know that. I shouldn't have started anything with Miriam, but when I'm on the road with the band, it's hard. I miss you and she's there."<br /> My heart hardened and I took a deep breath. "How long have you been sleeping with her?"<br /> He swallowed so hard I saw his Adam's apple bobble. "Come on, Layla. None of this will matter. I'll stop. I'll stop and we can get engaged. You want that, right?"<br /> I gagged. "Ew, Matthew. There's not a chance that I'm getting engaged to you! I'd rather stick my papilla in a truck winch and turn it on."<br /> Miriam sauntered out of her dressing room topless and looked me over. "We've been slept for a year. Matty eats private part like a champ."<br /> A real smile stretched my lips. "Now I know you're full of foolish talk. He might get an climax, but a champ? Hardly. Anyway, enjoy him. I hope him not having a girlfriend doesn't ruin your lady boner."<br /> "Miriam, go back inside! Layla, just stop and talk to me!"<br /> Miriam and I both answered Matthew in unison. <br /> I looked at her and shrugged. "Maybe you're not all bad."<br /> Without waiting for either of them to say anything else, I turned around and walked away, ignoring Matthew as he called my name. Eventually he stopped and I walked faster. I needed to get out of there before I cried. I wasn't about to cry backstage at a music festival. Someone would probably jump out and tit punch me as some anti-crying ritual.<br /> As I walked faster, I couldn't fight the way my eyes filled with tears. No matter how lackluster Matthew was, I'd devoted years of my life to him. I'd just wasted my vacation time on him, too. I thought sneaking out to meet him on the road would be fun and lend some much needed excitement to our relationship. Things hadn't been good...ever...but I'd hoped that we could at least get back to a place where I didn't dread seeing him at work every day.<br /> I wiped at my eyes and felt the mascara I'd coated my eyelashes with earlier. Stupid. I swore and stomped my way farther away from Matthew and the ugly end of our relationship. The image of his hip in the air while he happily ate Miriam Dark's hoo-hah like a pig in slop would forever be burned into my memory.<br /> I couldn't wait to get back home to my apartment and destroy everything of Matthew's that he'd left behind. I needed to update my social media. I didn't do much on it anymore, but I couldn't stand the idea of people thinking I was still with the loser. I'd have to call Grandma. That thought made me want to sob. She hated Matthew, but she liked that I wasn't alone in LA. Knowing I was single again was going to worry her. And if she told Jagger, my older brother, about me being single, Jagger would call and demand to know what'd happened. Then, he would try to fly out and kick Matthew's hip. It was just a mess.<br /> Growling out a frustrated sound, I looked down to make sure I stepped over a big mess of cords. I couldn't believe someone had left the stage like that. It was a hazard. Not to mention, it would be so easy to show if someone tripped over the wrong cord.<br /> I should've been paying attention because when the crowd's wild cheering broke through my self-pitying stupor, I looked up to see how close I'd gotten to the main stage. Unfortunately, a man with a guitar was coming off the stage, looking back at another man behind him. I was moving too fast to stop in time and he wasn't looking. It happened so fast that I didn't even make a sound as I smacked right into the man and felt pain before bouncing off his hard body and going down hard. Those tangled cords.<br /> I heard a deep voice growl above me, but I reached up to feel my forehead and felt something wet. I knew my eyes went as wide as softballs and when I pulled my fingers down and saw red, I groaned. Blood was my kryptonite. My vision darkened and I gagged on my way down.<br /> <br /> Mack<br /> "Well." By the time I realized what was happening, the curvy brunette was flat on the ground. I dropped to my knees next to her and swore when I saw the blood on her forehead. "This is a new form of falling for me."<br /> Xavier squatted on her other side and frowned. "Not really a great time for joking. You knocked her out."<br /> Jones sighed and ran his hands through his hair. "Where'd she come from? Also, maybe look where you're going from now on. You ran the poor thing over. Big time."<br /> I brushed her hair out of her face and had a completely ridiculous moment of feeling like I was staring down at Sleeping Beauty. She was gorgeous. I gently patted her soft cheek. "Ma'am? Hello?"<br /> "Great work. She's jumping right to life." Jones looked over his shoulder. "You've got about thirty seconds to get her on her feet and out of the way before the crowd beats back security and runs back here."<br /> I could hear the commotion he was hearing and ground my teeth. We'd just come off an amazing show. I had planned on going to a bar and getting hammered. Taking care of a Disney princess hadn't been in my plans, but it didn't look like I had an option. I couldn't just leave her on the ground and I didn't know any of the stage hands enough to trust them with an unconscious woman.<br /> "Fine." I stood up and lifted her body over my shoulder. Her head and arms hung limply and bounced off my hip, but I figured it was better for her than getting trampled to death. "Let's get her to our bus and get the medics to check her out. She'll be safe there until she can wake up and go."<br /> Xavier nodded once and charged ahead, clearing a path. He was a giant of a man and no one was dumb enough to stay in his way. They didn't understand what a gentle soul he was. I was thankful for that when they jumped out of our way, though. Especially with a crowd of rabid fans chasing after us.<br /> Jones barked at security to make sure no one followed us out into the artist lot and slammed the heavy metal door shut behind us. He swore and scowled at the door like it was the problem. "What do we even pay security for if they can't keep people away?"<br /> The woman over my shoulder groaned and grabbed my hips. I waited to see if she would say anything else, but she didn't. Her arms fell limp again and I released a breath at not having her scream and freak out while dangling over my shoulder.<br /> "I'll call the medic." Xavier hurried ahead to the bus.<br /> "This puts a damper on my plans." I sighed and glanced over at Jones. "We put on a good show and I was planning on drinking my face off to celebrate."<br /> "The medics are quick. We'll get her taken care of, apologize, and then send her on her way. With the medics, hopefully." He ran his eyes over the full hip over my shoulder. "Too bad you knocked her out before seeing if she wanted to drink with us."<br /> I laughed. "She sure is pretty. I doubt she'll be in a forgiving mood, though. I should've been looking at where I was going."<br /> "Why change now? Forget what I said earlier. We're in our forties. Let's not waste our time. Old dogs and new tricks, you know." He reached the bus before me and opened the door. "You put your guitar down."<br /> I winced. "I'll send a text to Shane as soon as I put her down."<br /> "I'll do it now. They're going to have to chase down whatever fan saw it and took it, probably. I highly doubt it's still sitting where you left it."<br /> I didn't want to think about my baby being in someone else's hands so instead, I focused on the woman in my arms. I climbed the steps and entered the bus, letting the cool AC wash over my overheated skin. The first space on the bus was a living room with four comfortable couches and I eased the unconscious woman down on one of them.<br /> Stretched out on the couch, her curves were even more noticeable. She was wearing tight black jeans and a low-cut top that was black and mostly straps and lace. I didn't get it, but I liked it. It was bad for me to notice her body, but the top curves of her breasts were spilling out of the shirt deliciously.<br /> I forced my eyes to her forehead and frowned. The cut was definitely from my baby. It looked like either a cord or a corner of my guitar had hit her just perfectly to leave a small cut. The skin around the cut didn't look too angry and overall, she looked okay. Besides being unconscious. I ran my hands under the back of her head and felt around to see if I found a lump from her hitting her head on the ground, but there was nothing.<br /> "The medics are tied up at another stage." Xavier growled in frustration and stared down at the woman. "Cut looks fine. Anything along the back of her head?"<br /> I shook my head. "No. She seems fine, honestly."<br /> "I don't like that she passed out." He sat down across from her and rested his elbows on his knees. "Go ahead and shower. I'll watch over her until you're back."<br /> Xavier, Jones, and I had served in the military together. We'd each done enough time to know how to take care of basic medical emergencies and several other things we'd never need in civilian life. It'd been a long time since any of us had to do first-aid in the field, but we could still hold our own.<br /> "Sure. I'll be fast." I winced. "I'm the one who plowed her over. I should be the one that has to explain it."<br /> I showered as fast as possible in the small bus bathroom but I still wasn't fast enough. By the time I shut the water off, I could already hear a husky female voice I didn't recognize ranting away. I wrapped a towel around myself and rushed out to apologize and get her to stop chewing out Jones and Xavier.<br /> What I found wasn't her chewing them out, though. She was pacing back and forth in front of where they sat on their own couches with her hands on her hips and fury on her face. She wasn't angry at us, though. Nope. It seemed another man had pissed in her cereal that morning.<br /> "This is just the cherry on the cake. Why not get a scar to memorialize the day I walked in on my boyfriend cheating on me? I'm so angry I could punch him in the manhood."<br /> I swear all three of us males cringed. I also had to rearrange my thinking. She was no Disney princess. She had spunk, to say the least.<br /> "She had the nerve to brag about his oral skills. Please. I literally have had better climaxs humping my hand. Either her needs are rock bottom, which is great for her if that's the case, or she was just lying to try to hurt me. I'm embarrassed, sure! It's not everyday you walk in on your boyfriend motorboating Miriam Dark's private part lips, but whatever. I'm just pissed. I came all the way here. I shaved. I put lotion on every inch of my body. Even the backs of my knees. Did I care that they're going to get sweaty faster now? Nope. I wanted to be smooth."<br /> I leaned against the doorway and let myself really look at her. She was taller than I'd thought and had legs that stretched on for miles. The black jeans hugged her full hip and hips in a way that made my mouth water. Her waist clipped in just enough that my hands would fit in the notch perfectly if I was taking her from behind. Her shirt made her full breasts look even more delicious while she was standing and I was at half-mast almost immediately.<br /> Her body, as stunning as it was, nearly touched on the beauty that was her face. Her big blue eyes were surrounded by dark eyelashes and her pouty mouth was stained red. She had dark brown hair down to her shoulders that curled wildly. If she hadn't been swearing, her creamy skin would've really made her look like a Disney princess. She could've probably gone down to Florida and got a job playing one of them right then. I'd never been attracted to a Disney princess before, though.<br /> "And you want to know the worst part? I work for the stupid prick. And no, before anyone has the jackass assumption that I'm sleeping my way into my position, I'm not. I'm better at his job than he is and I've been sticking around for even longer than I should've because he kept promising that he'd put in a good word with his boss for me. Because I deserve it. I do his work. I can't remember the last time he's had to do a single thing. At least he chose to sleep with Miriam himself. Although, I'm pretty sure I'd be better at that, too."<br /> Jones snorted and held up his hands when the little firecracker spun on him. "I'm not disagreeing with you, honey. I'm just enjoying hearing you eviscerate this manhoodhead."<br /> She stared at him and slowly her face darkened and she brought her hand up to cover her mouth. She looked absolutely distressed and I hated it.<br /> "What's wrong?" I made myself known and was rewarded with watching her eyes trail down my chest. The way her eyes got all bedroom heavy and she licked her lips turned that almost solid shaft into a full blown shaft. I had to shift to hide it from her curious eyes.<br /> She glanced back at Jones and then at Xavier. "Oh."<br /> Xavier stood up and inched towards her. "Are you okay? Your head... Is it hurting?"<br /> She looked up at him and I saw the way her body naturally swayed towards my giant of a best friend. Something about that made me want to hug her. Some women treated Xavier and his size like a threat and it hurt him. "Oh. I can't believe I didn't realize before now. You're JAX."<br /> Jones sighed and nodded. "Yep."<br /> She pushed her curls back from her face. "Don't worry. I'm not going to fangirl. I'm just mortified. I work for your record label and this is now the most unprofessional vacation I've ever taken. I have to go. Can you just forget you ever saw me?" | Libb002 | 48 | https://facebook.com/61551403614101 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Kayan<br /> I was betrayed by two people I trusted implicitly, my best friend and my fiancรฉ, or so i thought.<br /> Without saying a word, I bent down and picked up my phone. By this time Dimitri had donned his boxers and his slim fit navy dress pants. Mariana on the other hand was gripping the white sheet, trying to cover her body and was sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> Normally her tears would have stirred some sort of emotion but I felt absolutely nothing looking at her.<br /> Dimitri stepped towards me with his outstretched hand but I stepped back, and when I spoke my own voice surprised me.<br /> Two words, " How long?". I stared at both of them expectantly. Dimitri sighed and rubbed his face, looking at me with regret.<br /> When no response was forthcoming from him, I turned to Mariana and pinned her with a glare. " Shut up Mariana! I asked a question and I need an answer now!" I shouted.<br /> She pulled her knees to her chest as her body shook in fear, she had only seen me angry once so she knew not to taunt me. Dimitri on the other hand, was stunned.<br /> She looked at me and stuttered in fear " S....si...six months", and hung her head low. I absorbed her reply, laughed hysterically, which caught both of them by surprise. They looked at each other shrugging their shoulders and just as I started laughing suddenly, I stopped abruptly.<br /> "Six months you say? I guess this is the part where you'll say it was a mistake, you never meant to hurt me and you're both sorry right?." I spoke calmly, surprising myself.<br /> Dimitri was first to speak " Kay, please I'm so sorry. We were both tipsy after your work anniversary party,and after I dropped her off, everything went to terrible. I'm so sorry baby but..." I laughed again, cutting him off mid sentence.<br /> I held my hand up then turned to Mariana" What about you bimbo, any last words?" Her eyes bulged in fear and I watched her squirm in fear. She knew I could put a bullet between her eyes even with my eyes closed , thanks to my Dad taking me to the pistol range every Saturday for 2 years.<br /> She sprung to her knees, the sheet fell exposing her and I saw all the hickeys along her neck and on her breasts. "Kay please, let's talk about this. I'm so sorry and I regret this. I'm so sorry for hurting you like this, it wasn't planned."<br /> The nerve of this woman, I thought. I should have listened to my gut all those months ago. She kept thwarting our plans, started traveling a lot and would barely take my video calls then. And she kept changing or bashing my wedding plans and like a fool, I brushed it aside.<br /> Dimitri was the same, one business trip after another, late nights and then he was distant. When I asked him about it, he promised to do better than what he did, but there was a subtle change. We no longer have sleep.<br /> Both of them looked at me expectantly, waiting for the weak, docile Kayan to shed tears and assure them everything would be okay.<br /> I dropped my phone into my bag, grabbed my pistol and clicked the safety off. I swiftly fired two rounds which were followed by agonizing screams. I shot Dimitri in his thigh just inches from his shaft while Mariana got hers in her right shoulder. Just enough to cause pain but not be fatal.<br /> I walked out the room but turned to them saying " That's for the betrayal, I never want to see or hear from either of you again. The next time you won't be so lucky."<br /> I descended the stairs shakily, I touched my face checking for tears but there were none. My chest was convulsing but I refused to give in to the pain I was feeling.<br /> As I got to the last step, I looked around, marched over to the fireplace and threw all photos she had of us together into it. I lifted the stoker, broke her 60" Samsung TV and everything went red from thereon. I trashed her apartment then walked out as if nothing happened.<br /> I grabbed my baseball bat from my trunk, smashed all her windows and doors. Just as I about to leave, I saw Dimitri's Silver Range Rover across the street.<br /> How didn't I notice it before?<br /> I walked up to it and repeated my actions. When I was satisfied, I hopped into my van and drove away.<br /> ---- <br /> Dimitri<br /> I couldn't believe Kayan shot us and simply walked away. I had known her for over 6 years but I never encountered this side of her. I knew I deserved that, worst of all, I ruined the one good thing I had done.<br /> I was thinking with my shaft and not my brain, because in assessing the current situation, Mariana was just a good woman. There is attraction, but the feelings I have for Kayan are deeper.<br /> Her sobs reverberated around the bedroom , bringing me back to the current situation.<br /> When Kayan left the room, I heard her trashing Mariana's apartment downstairs and was about to go after her.<br /> Mariana's words stopped me dead in my tracks, "Leave her be, Dimitri, she will kill you! She needs to calm down first before we approach her." I turned to her slowly, trying to ignore the pain and blood gushing from my wound.<br /> "What do you mean Mari? I'm going after her! There is no us. This was a mistake. I need to talk to her!" I ran my hands over my face then slid my belt around my leg making a tourniquet.<br /> She slid off the bed, gripping the sheet with her uninjured shoulder. " Take it from me, we're lucky to be alive! You have never seen her upset or know what she's capable of in this state but I do!" She tiptoed to the door listening for any further sound from downstairs, but was greeted with silence.<br /> Mariana sat on the stairs shaking and crying while gripping her disheveled hair.<br /> The front door was ajar, I moved to lock it but the sight of Mariana's car took my breath away. I looked across the street to mine and it looked even worst.<br /> I shook my head, sighed and turned too quickly, causing a searing pain in the bullet wound.<br /> I called my driver Michael and told him to be quick and discreet.<br /> Mariana got dressed in the meantime while we waited with bated breaths.<br /> Michael arrived in about 10 minutes, his eyes expressed shock but he knew better than to ask any questions.<br /> He drove us to Wyckoff Medical, the only place I knew would be discreet about what happened.<br /> Using the back entrance, we were quickly ushered into separate rooms for assessment.<br /> As I laid on the bed, I felt Dr. Green prodding my wound for the bullet. He's been our family physician since I was a child, so when he asked who I pissed off this time , I sighed and ignored him.<br /> All I could think about was Kayan, she was my everything!<br /> Not anymore you prick, you screwed up and you're lucky to be alive, I shook my head, trying to shake guilt ridden thoughts from my subconscious.<br /> I reminisced on all the times we spent together, the plans we made for our future and our kids. I reflected on how she supported me even when my own father doubted me. She never gave up on me. You shut up Dimitri!<br /> Dr. Green waved his hand above my eyes while calling my name. " Did you hear anything I said just now?" he asked quietly.<br /> I sighed " No, what is it?". My tone was clipped but right now I didn't care, I could apologize later.<br /> He rolled his eyes before continuing "I said there's a detective waiting outside to talk to you, you know it's my duty to report this." He grabbed a scissors and cut the thread, signaling that he had finished stitching my wound.<br /> "You'll live, but stay off your feet for a few days, and use a crutch if you have to move around." Dr. Green bandaged my leg and was about to leave when I stopped him.<br /> "Wait, I apologize for my behavior Doc. Where's the young lady who came in with me? I need to see her now." He looked at me sadly, shook his head and left the room without a word.<br /> My guess is he figured out why Kayan hadn't rushed into the hospital demanding answers. The realization hit me of how I not only disappointed Kayan but everyone close to me, especially my parents. <br /> I must have dosed off from the pain medication I had gotten as I was woken up by Mariana gently shaking my shoulder and calling my name.<br /> Blinking my eyes to adjust to the bright lights, I grabbed the remote and adjusted my bed. Mariana looked terrible, her hair was unkempt and her eyes were swollen. Her right arm was bandaged and now in a sling.<br /> She sat in the chair beside the bed and hung her head low. " I spoke to the police, I told them we were mugged at the apartment as we were trying to finalize wedding arrangements." It was barely a whisper, but I sighed in relief.<br /> "We messed up but I agree, I'll tell them the same thing. Kayan doesn't deserve this." My throat felt hoarse so I reached for a tumbler with water, poured a cup and took several sips.<br /> " I told you we needed to stop Dimitri but you insisted on coming over!" I pinned her with a glare which caused her to shut up immediately.<br /> The nerve of this woman! I laughed coldly before turning to her " Oh so now it's my fault Mar? Surely you weren't complaining when I rammed your wet dripping private part with my shaft right? You never said stop! Anything else I'm forgetting?" My chest was heaving by the time I finished ranting.<br /> I was about to continue but her sobs erupted. She looked at me lost, guilt etched across her face before she stood to leave.<br /> "Look Mar, I'm sorry okay. I just don't know what to do." I held her wrist, my thumb caressing the inside of her hand in a comforting way. "How did she get in though?"<br /> Mariana was trembling as tears streamed down her face. She took a deep breath before she spoke. "I forgot she had a key from over a year ago. She would always check the place when I traveled for a convention or went to see my family."<br /> My mouth opened to speak but no words were forthcoming and they never came as the door banged open, slamming into the wall denting it.<br /> Jumping with fright, we turned to see my very pissed off father and my distraught mother. Before I could utter a word, he spoke," You, get out now and don't let me see your face again!" Mariana jumped in fear and ran from the room sobbing before I could stop her.<br /> "Dad i can explain...." He slammed his hand onto the small table, knocking the tumbler over.<br /> My mom grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down but he flicked her hand away and grabbed my hospital gown roughly, "Explain what exactly Dimitri? How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> "I'm going to fix this Dad, just give me a chance please." I turned towards my mom seeking support but she turned her head away from me. " Mom, please I'm sorry, I'll fix this. I'm gonna make everything right."<br /> My Dad simply scoffed at my words, took my Mom's hands and walked out the door.<br /> The only sound that filled the room was that of the water droplets bouncing on the floor.<br /> ---- <br /> Mariana<br /> I have never been more regretful in my entire life. My head was throbbing non stop, my eyes were puffy from all the tears I'd shed in the past 24 hours. My mind replayed the events and all I could think of, was that I should be dead by Kayan's hands.<br /> My driver dropped me off to the apartment, and as I stepped inside I once again surveyed the damage. Nothing was left untouched, I had to start over but I guess that's the price to pay for stabbing your best friend in the back for six months.<br /> I wanted to stop so many times, I knew it was wrong but Dimitri was like a spirit I couldn't get enough of.<br /> We decided to take the secret to our graves and everything was going great until I saw him a week later at Danny's Cafe. We sat and talked for a while but after an hour when we attempted to leave, the sexual tension was just too much to ignore.<br /> From thereon, we used our lunch breaks and any free time we could muster to screw each other senseless. After each encounter, we'd say it was the last time , but that never happened as soon after I took trips when he did or he came to my apartment before going home.<br /> All this time, I gave Kayan a million excuses as to why we couldn't meet up, continued planning her wedding virtually and offered excuses when she whined about Dimitri being overly consumed by work.<br /> I even ended things with my own boyfriend as our relationship became strained and miserable because of my infidelity.<br /> Now this is the endgame, I lost my best friend who always stood by me and I'm pretty sure Dimitri and I have no future.<br /> Sitting on the stairs, I decided to take a leap of faith and call Kayan. If I could just get her to listen to me for a second, I would tell her how sorry I am and try to fix things.<br /> As I dialed her number, it went directly to voice-mail, and after trying a few more times unsuccessfully, I decided to go see her. I ordered an Uber, waiting outside for a few minutes before the car pulled up.<br /> I got in, gave the driver her address and stared blankly out the window. The only sounds were that of the music playing in the dashboard.<br /> Ten minutes later, I was standing on the curb outside Kayan's townhouse. Hesitantly, I opened the gate, trudged up the steps and rang the bell. I was there waiting for a few minutes, I called her but there was no response.<br /> I walked to the garden by the lamp post where she always hid a spare key. It was gone.<br /> Just as I was about to step from the yard, I was stopped in my tracks by a faint voice. My hopes increased but when I turned around expecting Kayan, no one was there.<br /> What was that then, I thought to myself.<br /> I reopened the Uber app, placed my request and waited by the curb.<br /> "She's not here you know." I was startled by the voice and was relieved to see her neighbor Michael.<br /> "What do you mean? Where is she?" I asked hurriedly.<br /> He eyed me suspiciously before replying,<br /> "Seeing you here looking like poop tells me you had a role in Kay's sudden departure 2 hours ago." His words were true yet hurtful, I castedmy eyes down in shame.<br /> "You don't know, Mike, just tell me where she went, I need to talk to her before it's too late" I begged him.<br /> The prick was nonchalant as he leant against her gate typing away on his phone. After getting a ping, indicating a message, he looked up at me smirking.<br /> "Well if you must know, my girl left for England indefinitely..." he paused, struggling to hold back a snicker, "...Oh and she says you should go yourself or Dimatro, whatever the pretty boy's name is." Michael was now clutching his side laughing hysterically while I sighed in defeat.<br /> She's gone! And now there's no way I will find her because I can't go to her family and I'm pretty sure she's already changed her number!<br /> I didn't warrant Michael a response since the Uber pulled up, I hopped in and left.<br /> My phone began vibrating in my pocket and I grabbed it quickly, just hoping it would be Kayan. I was disappointed as Dimitri's name flashed on the screen.<br /> "What do you want Dimitri? Haven't we done enough, didn't you hear what your father said?" I shouted angrily, catching sight of the driver's raised brows in the rear view mirror.<br /> "Calm down Mari, I wanted to apologize for my Dad. I'm getting discharged now so I'm heading home, I need to sort things out with Kay." Though I had wanted the same thing minutes ago, I couldn't help the pang of jealousy that gripped me.<br /> Before I could stop myself I snarled in response<br /> "Thanks for asking how I'm doing you prick! Oh and don't bother going there because she's gone!"<br /> "What are you talking about Mari! This is not the time to joke with me..." I'd had enough of his nonsense so I cut him mid sentence " Kay's gone Dimitri, I just left the house, she's not home and her neighbor says she left for England." The other end of the line was silent.<br /> I looked at the screen to see if the call had been disconnected but the line was still open.<br /> "Dimitri?" He sighed in response and I heard him grunt in pain, perhaps moving too quickly on his injured leg.<br /> "I'm here Mari. How will I fix things if I don't know where to find her? Of all the places, she had to chose England!? Couldn't she have just gone to her parents? What am I going to do now?"<br /> I wanted to speak but my throat felt as if it was clogged.<br /> I cut the call, switched to airplane mode and rested my head against the window as fresh salty tears rolled down my cheeks.<br /> I lost everything.<br /> My best friend. Dimitri . And a family who accepted me without judgement and showed me nothing but love all these years. | Wha002 | 29 | https://facebook.com/61554783541379 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

My dad is really mad at you and Raven being mates." Twin sister Reagan said to my mate.<br /> "I don't mind rejecting her, but I would have been embarrassed to face my mate" Justin said.<br /> "My father has decided to appoint me as his future Alpha not my sister Raven. So, I will be your luna." Reagan said to Justin.<br /> ******** <br /> I silently run through the woods letting my wolf Emerald out tonight. She has been anxious all day, well really the last few days, and I could tell that she needed to come out for a run. <br /> Alpha Cole Walker is the Alpha of the Blood Walker pack. He is said to be one of the most dangerous Alphas in the United States. It is said that he would hurt anyone who dared to enter his pack uninvited. Due to this fact, most of our pack members studiously avoid this area altogether.<br /> My twin sister, Reagan, is the golden child of the pack. They all love her unconditionally. She is cherished and appreciated, no matter what she does. They all seem to ignore the fact that she is a horrible and mean she-wolf. I was born first, and with that should come the respect that after I find my mate, I will officially be the Luna here, and he will take over as the Alpha of the pack. Yet they all treat her as the next Luna. <br /> My sister and I are the only children that our parents had. The Goddess never blessed them with another child, even though they tried for years. My father, Alpha Graham Sullivan, is very strict with me. I am not allowed to leave my room other than to eat my meals and then return back to my room again. I am also not allowed to leave our pack for any reason. I have never even crossed the border of the Sliver Blade pack in my life. <br /> I was the Alpha's daughter, but I was not a valued member of this pack. Telling on me has always resulted in a bonus for whoever told on me to my father. I have had to learn how to overcome this on my own. It has made me very independent over the years, as well as a very good climber. I use the tree outside my window at the pack house, to climb up and down to get in and out of my room.<br /> From my vantage point, I can see who is coming now and rolled my eyes so hard I almost saw my brain. It was Reagan, and she was pulling the arm of a pretty large guy, as she headed toward the grassy bank near my tree. I realized right this moment that I have picked a terrible place to hide. I should have doubled back and then climbed in my window to my room and I would have been safe and sound in my room. Reagan is clearly out with one of her many men, as she was allowed to stay out and do whatever she wanted to. I mean how else could she beat me to finding her mate if she didn't flirt with all the unmated men in our pack? I rolled my eyes again and then froze when I looked at them again and got a good look at his face.<br /> That smell coming off of him was starting to drive me wild, he smelled like freshly baked cinnamon buns, and I was now pissed off. She had come here with the guy that I had a crush on, someone with whom she had never shown any interest in before. It was our Beta's son and the guy that I have had a crush on for the last year and a half.<br /> "No, don't stop them, Raven, she has already been dating with him for the last few months. This is not the first time, it has been well before he returned to the pack earlier this week. They are together now, dating, and they have both vowed to reject their actual mates to stay together to take over and run this pack. Please, just try to bear it, I will help you get through it. I am glad that you are in a secure location, this may make you pass out" Emerald linked me, and I felt physically sick.<br /> "How do you know this? Did she know that he is my mate? Why can't I approach him? Maybe he wants me, Emerald. Please let me stop this. He might not know that I am his mate, he may still want me, want US! I don't want to lose him, Emerald. He may not be aware his true mate is here. Can't he already smell our scent up here, like I smelled his scent? Are you sure that this is the only way? Please Emerald" I linked her back, and I feel the tears that are already sliding down my face. I have questions, and I need answers.<br /> I am frustrated. I don't want to give up on my true mate. He doesn't even know that I am here, and I do want him. I don't want to give him up, especially not to my sister Reagan. I don't know if I can survive this level of betrayal.<br /> "I can't wait for mom and dad to announce to the pack that we will be the Alpha and Luna tomorrow. This is something that I have really wanted for the last 8 years. I am so glad you decided that we could be chosen mates. " My sister says to my mate.<br /> "Besides, I am also glad that you are willing to lead the Silver Blade pack with me. I have a feeling that my freak of a sister who keeps staring at you is going to be crushed when she finds out that we are together. You dodged by deciding to accept me as your chosen mate. I know that she has a crush on you, so she would probably try to ask you out or something when she sees that you are back from break." She adds.<br /> "I think we will be so happy together. Raven will be so angry when she finds out that we planned this months ago. I cannot wait for her to find out. I even told mom to have her sit on the front row for the pack meeting tomorrow, so I can see her face when dad makes the announcement. I am going to put her next to you so it will hurt her more when dad calls you up on stage. When she realizes that her crush is going to be my mate, she is going to be so jealous of me. I am so going to get a picture of her face when she finds out, as I will want to remember that moment for a long time" I heard Reagan say to him, and I was so choked up I couldn't hold in the sob of pain that managed to escape.<br /> It wasn't loud, but with werewolf hearing, it was loud enough. I just stayed completely still and prayed that they hadn't heard me, but Justin started talking when my sob escaped, and they had no reaction, so I think I am safe.<br /> "I have always thought that you were a she-wolf, Reagan. I am so glad that you came up to my training with your offer, and for us to get extra special time together. If Raven were allowed to move around the pack, I don't think that she would be missing the fact that she is my mate. I scented her today when I got back to the pack and confirmed she is my mate. Per our agreement, I don't mind rejecting her, as I am clearly getting the better sister out of this deal. I would have been embarrassed to have to call that freak of nature my mate" Justin said, and with it, my heart was completely crushed.<br /> These two evil people deserved each other, and I will not waste another tear on his betrayal. He "chose" her, so he can keep her. She will never be faithful to him, and he will not ever be able to trust that their children are his either. She was just doing this to ensure that they become the next Alpha and Luna. She is what he wanted, so she can have him. I am thoroughly disgusted by both of them, and I will not allow them to make me sad one more day. I had already decided to get out of this horrible pack, and I will not miss the Silver Blade pack for a second. <br /> "She is your mate? Are you serious? Oh, this is the best" Reagan said as she laughed out in joy at hearing this information. "Justin, why haven't you mentioned this to me before?" Reagan continued.<br /> "I just found out about it earlier today as I have been gone for my training for the last 4 months. I caught my mate's scent and followed it so I could go ahead and reject them. I realized it was coming from the Alpha level, and when I went up and it led me straight to her door, it was really faint, but I sensed it. She doesn't even know it yet. I am sure that this information is not going to go over well with your parents. They may be upset when they find out. Are they still going to want us to move forward with our plan? Or are they going to want me and Raven to be mates because we are true mates?" Justin asked Reagan. I have to admit, I was interested in her reply as well, but I already suspected what the answer was going to be.<br /> "Oh no Justin, you will definitely be staying with me. I know dad is really going to get a kick out of you and Raven being mates. Mom might feel a little bad for her, but I think that this is great. I could not be happier that her true mate, will become my chosen mate.<br /> We will rule the Silver Blade pack together, and it will hurt her every day to see us together. It is my pack any way, it was never going to be hers. Maybe if we are lucky since she doesn't have a wolf, she won't be able to scent you, and your rejection might even hurt her when you do it. That would be the best-case scenario for all of us" Reagan said, and I could tell that Justin was a little shocked at how hateful she was. Reagan could tell that Justin was not liking this side of her so she quickly changed her attitude and started cooing at Justin, "She doesn't deserve you, baby, I love you and I want you. Hopefully, you will come to love me too.<br /> I was just worried, I don't want you falling in love with my sister after we have already mated." Reagan said to Justin, looking up at him adoringly through her long lashes. I have to admit, she really knows how to work people to do what she wants them to. Her ability to look innocent and pure is without measure, she could have been an actress.<br /> "Dad hates Raven. He will be very happy about this. He has never loved her since the day that she was born. Mom might be a little upset, but she will get over it. She and dad are chosen mates, she gave up her true mate to become the Luna of the Silver Blade pack. She did it herself, and if it is good enough for her, then it is good enough for me to do it as well. We make the perfect couple. We will have strong pups, and our pack will flourish" Reagan said, and I am stunned. I knew my dad was mean, but to hate me, why? What reason could he possibly have for hating me? My parents have told the whole pack numerous times through the years that they were true mates. They are very affectionate with each other in front of the pack. I didn't even know that they weren't true mates. What else don't I know about them?<br /> "We will do the same thing. You will have to reject Raven first thing in the morning, or after the pack meeting. But you will have to do it where no one else will hear you. Dad is going to tell the pack that we are true mates, so they will fully support us. Dad thinks that it would be a mistake to not have the pack's full support behind us when we go to take it over from my parents" Reagan said, and I am amazed at all the plans that they have kept away from me. Just another thing that shows how much difference there is between Reagan and me. I hear them touching again and wonder when they plan on leaving the area, don't they need to get back to the pack house?<br /> I narrow my eyes at Reagan, as she is ecstatic about getting to truly rub all of my misfortune in right now. Justin is getting the opportunity to reject me, so the situation that we are now in is all positive for them.<br /> "Raven, why are you out of the house? Are you supposed to be out here? Are you OK? That fall looked like it hurt pretty bad" I hear my sister ask me with an innocent look on her face like she cared about me. She was fully aware of how I am kept a prisoner here at the Silver Blade pack. I really have to get out of here. I needed to check and see how badly I am hurt because I don't know if I even have time to go pack a bag now. I may be having to leave here with nothing, but I am OK with that. I just need to get the heck out of here. I will figure out what I need to do after I am safely free of Silver Blade.<br /> "Are you ignoring me, Raven? Are you sure you want to do that to me? Fine then, I will just make sure that you get punished for leaving your room. You are not supposed to be out here anyway. I will just let dad know that you are out here, and he will take care of you" Reagan said with a smirk, and then she started mind linking. <br /> I and my wolf were running away from this pack. But they caught us immediately.<br /> "If you come back here now Raven, I won't punish you for leaving your room without permission" I heard my father tell me. <br /> "Nothing in the world could possess me to do that father," I told him, and I see his eyes glazing over as he goes to link someone. I could care less what they have to say to me, and I turned to walk away. <br /> "You will get punishment in the Blood Walker pack. You know how dangerous they are Raven, you have heard this fact for your whole life. They cannot be trusted, and you are now a rogue. We have told you, and the whole pack, exactly what happens to those who trespass on their land. The moment they scent you they will move in, and you will die today. Is that what you want? Do you want to die? I will get you more freedom in the pack. I will allow you to go to the library every day instead of once a week. How does that sound?" my mother's voice is calming and comforting. She has never before sounded as nice as this, and I know that dad put her up to try to lure me back into the Siler Blade pack. They must be desperate to do it, so I want to see how far they intended to go with it.<br /> "Let me ask you this mother. Was the plan to get Justin to take Reagan as a chosen mate her idea, or dad's?" I asked her. Mom is not a very good liar. I can see her expression as we are only about 20 feet apart from each other right now. <br /> "I don't know what you are talking about Raven, they are mates," my mom said to me, and now I smirk at her. Clearly, mom was keeping me out of the loop and doesn't know that I know for a fact that they aren't.<br /> "Thanks for always lying to me mom. That makes it so much easier on me. I will not be coming back to the Silver Blade pack. This is the last time, Goddess willing, that you all will probably see me and actually I am welcoming the death that is coming to me. It will be better than the life I have lived since Reagan tried to hurt me, and my own dad called me a liar when I told him what actually happened. Justin is not her mate mom, and I know this because he is MY mate. It is disgusting what all you three have done to me and allowed to be done to me my whole life. I never deserved to be treated the way I was. I can only hope that I can find my way and get to live a life that allows me to find someone who loves me and realizes that I am a good person. I don't think that is too much to ask for, do you mom? It seems like you and dad are willing to do anything to get me to come back over the fence, but we both know that if I did come back, I would either immediately be thrown in the cells. So, I will take my chances over here, where at least I have a chance" I told them and turned again to leave. I only made it a few steps before I was stopped again by my father's hateful words.<br /> "You are ungrateful daughter, How do you have the nerve to say that to me? I have clothed and fed you, provided you a room, and let you go to school. I did take care of you, and it is disgusting to see how you repay me. Lying about Justin being your mate. Trying to take your sister's mate away from her. I know that I can speak for your mother as well as myself when I say that we hope the Blood Walker pack disposes of you quickly. I only wish I could punish you myself" my dad roared out, and the hate was coming off of him in waves.<br /> "You disgust me father," I told him and the tone I used to draw out the word father let him know just how little I thought of him being my father. "I have never done anything to cause a problem or disruption in the pack, or in the family. I did what I was told this whole time. Even as knowing that you let the whole pack know that I was fair game if they wanted to hurt me, and they did dad, over and over again. You know what, it was my family that really took the award for the most torment. Your unwarranted hate, mom never supporting me, and my sister allowed to try to hurt me, and incite others up against me made me realize that life will be much better on this side of the border than it was on that side. Even if I only live an hour more, it would be better than the years I spent over there."<br /> I wiped off my tears and walked past them, suddenly, I hear something coming to meโฆ<br /> <br /> <br /> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><br /> Wanna listen more? download our App and check more!

My dad is really mad at you and Raven being mates." Twin sister Reagan said to my mate.<br /> "I don't mind rejecting her, but I would have been embarrassed to face my mate" Justin said.<br /> "My father has decided to appoint me as his future Alpha not my sister Raven. So, I will be your luna." Reagan said to Justin.<br /> ******** <br /> I silently run through the woods letting my wolf Emerald out tonight. She has been anxious all day, well really the last few days, and I could tell that she needed to come out for a run. <br /> Alpha Cole Walker is the Alpha of the Blood Walker pack. He is said to be one of the most dangerous Alphas in the United States. It is said that he would hurt anyone who dared to enter his pack uninvited. Due to this fact, most of our pack members studiously avoid this area altogether.<br /> My twin sister, Reagan, is the golden child of the pack. They all love her unconditionally. She is cherished and appreciated, no matter what she does. They all seem to ignore the fact that she is a horrible and mean she-wolf. I was born first, and with that should come the respect that after I find my mate, I will officially be the Luna here, and he will take over as the Alpha of the pack. Yet they all treat her as the next Luna. <br /> My sister and I are the only children that our parents had. The Goddess never blessed them with another child, even though they tried for years. My father, Alpha Graham Sullivan, is very strict with me. I am not allowed to leave my room other than to eat my meals and then return back to my room again. I am also not allowed to leave our pack for any reason. I have never even crossed the border of the Sliver Blade pack in my life. <br /> I was the Alpha's daughter, but I was not a valued member of this pack. Telling on me has always resulted in a bonus for whoever told on me to my father. I have had to learn how to overcome this on my own. It has made me very independent over the years, as well as a very good climber. I use the tree outside my window at the pack house, to climb up and down to get in and out of my room.<br /> From my vantage point, I can see who is coming now and rolled my eyes so hard I almost saw my brain. It was Reagan, and she was pulling the arm of a pretty large guy, as she headed toward the grassy bank near my tree. I realized right this moment that I have picked a terrible place to hide. I should have doubled back and then climbed in my window to my room and I would have been safe and sound in my room. Reagan is clearly out with one of her many men, as she was allowed to stay out and do whatever she wanted to. I mean how else could she beat me to finding her mate if she didn't flirt with all the unmated men in our pack? I rolled my eyes again and then froze when I looked at them again and got a good look at his face.<br /> That smell coming off of him was starting to drive me wild, he smelled like freshly baked cinnamon buns, and I was now pissed off. She had come here with the guy that I had a crush on, someone with whom she had never shown any interest in before. It was our Beta's son and the guy that I have had a crush on for the last year and a half.<br /> "No, don't stop them, Raven, she has already been dating with him for the last few months. This is not the first time, it has been well before he returned to the pack earlier this week. They are together now, dating, and they have both vowed to reject their actual mates to stay together to take over and run this pack. Please, just try to bear it, I will help you get through it. I am glad that you are in a secure location, this may make you pass out" Emerald linked me, and I felt physically sick.<br /> "How do you know this? Did she know that he is my mate? Why can't I approach him? Maybe he wants me, Emerald. Please let me stop this. He might not know that I am his mate, he may still want me, want US! I don't want to lose him, Emerald. He may not be aware his true mate is here. Can't he already smell our scent up here, like I smelled his scent? Are you sure that this is the only way? Please Emerald" I linked her back, and I feel the tears that are already sliding down my face. I have questions, and I need answers.<br /> I am frustrated. I don't want to give up on my true mate. He doesn't even know that I am here, and I do want him. I don't want to give him up, especially not to my sister Reagan.

Trying to take your sister's mate away from her. I know that I can speak for your mother as well as myself when I say that we hope the Blood Walker pack disposes of you quickly. I only wish I could punish you myself" my dad roared out, and the hate was coming off of him in waves.<br /> "You disgust me father," I told him and the tone I used to draw out the word father let him know just how little I thought of him being my father. "I have never done anything to cause a problem or disruption in the pack, or in the family. I did what I was told this whole time. Even as knowing that you let the whole pack know that I was fair game if they wanted to hurt me, and they did dad, over and over again. You know what, it was my family that really took the award for the most torment. Your unwarranted hate, mom never supporting me, and my sister allowed to try to hurt me, and incite others up against me made me realize that life will be much better on this side of the border than it was on that side. Even if I only live an hour more, it would be better than the years I spent over there."<br /> I wiped off my tears and walked past them, suddenly, I hear something coming to meโฆ<br /> <br /> <br /> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><br /> Wanna listen more? download our App and check more!

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 whore'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.

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.

How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Kayan<br /> I was betrayed by two people I trusted implicitly, my best friend and my fiancรฉ, or so i thought.<br /> Without saying a word, I bent down and picked up my phone. By this time Dimitri had donned his boxers and his slim fit navy dress pants. Mariana on the other hand was gripping the white sheet, trying to cover her body and was sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> Normally her tears would have stirred some sort of emotion but I felt absolutely nothing looking at her.<br /> Dimitri stepped towards me with his outstretched hand but I stepped back, and when I spoke my own voice surprised me.<br /> Two words, " How long?". I stared at both of them expectantly. Dimitri sighed and rubbed his face, looking at me with regret.<br /> When no response was forthcoming from him, I turned to Mariana and pinned her with a glare. " Shut up Mariana! I asked a question and I need an answer now!" I shouted.<br /> She pulled her knees to her chest as her body shook in fear, she had only seen me angry once so she knew not to taunt me. Dimitri on the other hand, was stunned.<br /> She looked at me and stuttered in fear " S....si...six months", and hung her head low. I absorbed her reply, laughed hysterically, which caught both of them by surprise. They looked at each other shrugging their shoulders and just as I started laughing suddenly, I stopped abruptly.<br /> "Six months you say? I guess this is the part where you'll say it was a mistake, you never meant to hurt me and you're both sorry right?." I spoke calmly, surprising myself.<br /> Dimitri was first to speak " Kay, please I'm so sorry. We were both tipsy after your work anniversary party,and after I dropped her off, everything went to terrible. I'm so sorry baby but..." I laughed again, cutting him off mid sentence.<br /> I held my hand up then turned to Mariana" What about you bimbo, any last words?" Her eyes bulged in fear and I watched her squirm in fear. She knew I could put a bullet between her eyes even with my eyes closed , thanks to my Dad taking me to the pistol range every Saturday for 2 years.<br /> She sprung to her knees, the sheet fell exposing her and I saw all the hickeys along her neck and on her breasts. "Kay please, let's talk about this. I'm so sorry and I regret this. I'm so sorry for hurting you like this, it wasn't planned."<br /> The nerve of this woman, I thought. I should have listened to my gut all those months ago. She kept thwarting our plans, started traveling a lot and would barely take my video calls then. And she kept changing or bashing my wedding plans and like a fool, I brushed it aside.<br /> Dimitri was the same, one business trip after another, late nights and then he was distant. When I asked him about it, he promised to do better than what he did, but there was a subtle change. We no longer have sleep.<br /> Both of them looked at me expectantly, waiting for the weak, docile Kayan to shed tears and assure them everything would be okay.<br /> I dropped my phone into my bag, grabbed my pistol and clicked the safety off. I swiftly fired two rounds which were followed by agonizing screams. I shot Dimitri in his thigh just inches from his shaft while Mariana got hers in her right shoulder. Just enough to cause pain but not be fatal.<br /> I walked out the room but turned to them saying " That's for the betrayal, I never want to see or hear from either of you again. The next time you won't be so lucky."<br /> I descended the stairs shakily, I touched my face checking for tears but there were none. My chest was convulsing but I refused to give in to the pain I was feeling.<br /> As I got to the last step, I looked around, marched over to the fireplace and threw all photos she had of us together into it. I lifted the stoker, broke her 60" Samsung TV and everything went red from thereon. I trashed her apartment then walked out as if nothing happened.<br /> I grabbed my baseball bat from my trunk, smashed all her windows and doors. Just as I about to leave, I saw Dimitri's Silver Range Rover across the street.<br /> How didn't I notice it before?<br /> I walked up to it and repeated my actions. When I was satisfied, I hopped into my van and drove away.<br /> ---- <br /> Dimitri<br /> I couldn't believe Kayan shot us and simply walked away. I had known her for over 6 years but I never encountered this side of her. I knew I deserved that, worst of all, I ruined the one good thing I had done.<br /> I was thinking with my shaft and not my brain, because in assessing the current situation, Mariana was just a good woman. There is attraction, but the feelings I have for Kayan are deeper.<br /> Her sobs reverberated around the bedroom , bringing me back to the current situation.<br /> When Kayan left the room, I heard her trashing Mariana's apartment downstairs and was about to go after her.<br /> Mariana's words stopped me dead in my tracks, "Leave her be, Dimitri, she will kill you! She needs to calm down first before we approach her." I turned to her slowly, trying to ignore the pain and blood gushing from my wound.<br /> "What do you mean Mari? I'm going after her! There is no us. This was a mistake. I need to talk to her!" I ran my hands over my face then slid my belt around my leg making a tourniquet.<br /> She slid off the bed, gripping the sheet with her uninjured shoulder. " Take it from me, we're lucky to be alive! You have never seen her upset or know what she's capable of in this state but I do!" She tiptoed to the door listening for any further sound from downstairs, but was greeted with silence.<br /> Mariana sat on the stairs shaking and crying while gripping her disheveled hair.<br /> The front door was ajar, I moved to lock it but the sight of Mariana's car took my breath away. I looked across the street to mine and it looked even worst.<br /> I shook my head, sighed and turned too quickly, causing a searing pain in the bullet wound.<br /> I called my driver Michael and told him to be quick and discreet.<br /> Mariana got dressed in the meantime while we waited with bated breaths.<br /> Michael arrived in about 10 minutes, his eyes expressed shock but he knew better than to ask any questions.<br /> He drove us to Wyckoff Medical, the only place I knew would be discreet about what happened.<br /> Using the back entrance, we were quickly ushered into separate rooms for assessment.<br /> As I laid on the bed, I felt Dr. Green prodding my wound for the bullet. He's been our family physician since I was a child, so when he asked who I pissed off this time , I sighed and ignored him.<br /> All I could think about was Kayan, she was my everything!<br /> Not anymore you prick, you screwed up and you're lucky to be alive, I shook my head, trying to shake guilt ridden thoughts from my subconscious.<br /> I reminisced on all the times we spent together, the plans we made for our future and our kids. I reflected on how she supported me even when my own father doubted me. She never gave up on me. You shut up Dimitri!<br /> Dr. Green waved his hand above my eyes while calling my name. " Did you hear anything I said just now?" he asked quietly.<br /> I sighed " No, what is it?". My tone was clipped but right now I didn't care, I could apologize later.<br /> He rolled his eyes before continuing "I said there's a detective waiting outside to talk to you, you know it's my duty to report this." He grabbed a scissors and cut the thread, signaling that he had finished stitching my wound.<br /> "You'll live, but stay off your feet for a few days, and use a crutch if you have to move around." Dr. Green bandaged my leg and was about to leave when I stopped him.<br /> "Wait, I apologize for my behavior Doc. Where's the young lady who came in with me? I need to see her now." He looked at me sadly, shook his head and left the room without a word.<br /> My guess is he figured out why Kayan hadn't rushed into the hospital demanding answers. The realization hit me of how I not only disappointed Kayan but everyone close to me, especially my parents. <br /> I must have dosed off from the pain medication I had gotten as I was woken up by Mariana gently shaking my shoulder and calling my name.<br /> Blinking my eyes to adjust to the bright lights, I grabbed the remote and adjusted my bed. Mariana looked terrible, her hair was unkempt and her eyes were swollen. Her right arm was bandaged and now in a sling.<br /> She sat in the chair beside the bed and hung her head low. " I spoke to the police, I told them we were mugged at the apartment as we were trying to finalize wedding arrangements." It was barely a whisper, but I sighed in relief.<br /> "We messed up but I agree, I'll tell them the same thing. Kayan doesn't deserve this." My throat felt hoarse so I reached for a tumbler with water, poured a cup and took several sips.<br /> " I told you we needed to stop Dimitri but you insisted on coming over!" I pinned her with a glare which caused her to shut up immediately.<br /> The nerve of this woman! I laughed coldly before turning to her " Oh so now it's my fault Mar? Surely you weren't complaining when I rammed your wet dripping private part with my shaft right? You never said stop! Anything else I'm forgetting?" My chest was heaving by the time I finished ranting.<br /> I was about to continue but her sobs erupted. She looked at me lost, guilt etched across her face before she stood to leave.<br /> "Look Mar, I'm sorry okay. I just don't know what to do." I held her wrist, my thumb caressing the inside of her hand in a comforting way. "How did she get in though?"<br /> Mariana was trembling as tears streamed down her face. She took a deep breath before she spoke. "I forgot she had a key from over a year ago. She would always check the place when I traveled for a convention or went to see my family."<br /> My mouth opened to speak but no words were forthcoming and they never came as the door banged open, slamming into the wall denting it.<br /> Jumping with fright, we turned to see my very pissed off father and my distraught mother. Before I could utter a word, he spoke," You, get out now and don't let me see your face again!" Mariana jumped in fear and ran from the room sobbing before I could stop her.<br /> "Dad i can explain...." He slammed his hand onto the small table, knocking the tumbler over.<br /> My mom grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down but he flicked her hand away and grabbed my hospital gown roughly, "Explain what exactly Dimitri? How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> "I'm going to fix this Dad, just give me a chance please." I turned towards my mom seeking support but she turned her head away from me. " Mom, please I'm sorry, I'll fix this. I'm gonna make everything right."<br /> My Dad simply scoffed at my words, took my Mom's hands and walked out the door.<br /> The only sound that filled the room was that of the water droplets bouncing on the floor.<br /> ---- <br /> Mariana<br /> I have never been more regretful in my entire life. My head was throbbing non stop, my eyes were puffy from all the tears I'd shed in the past 24 hours. My mind replayed the events and all I could think of, was that I should be dead by Kayan's hands.<br /> My driver dropped me off to the apartment, and as I stepped inside I once again surveyed the damage. Nothing was left untouched, I had to start over but I guess that's the price to pay for stabbing your best friend in the back for six months.<br /> I wanted to stop so many times, I knew it was wrong but Dimitri was like a spirit I couldn't get enough of.<br /> We decided to take the secret to our graves and everything was going great until I saw him a week later at Danny's Cafe. We sat and talked for a while but after an hour when we attempted to leave, the sexual tension was just too much to ignore.<br /> From thereon, we used our lunch breaks and any free time we could muster to screw each other senseless. After each encounter, we'd say it was the last time , but that never happened as soon after I took trips when he did or he came to my apartment before going home.<br /> All this time, I gave Kayan a million excuses as to why we couldn't meet up, continued planning her wedding virtually and offered excuses when she whined about Dimitri being overly consumed by work.<br /> I even ended things with my own boyfriend as our relationship became strained and miserable because of my infidelity.<br /> Now this is the endgame, I lost my best friend who always stood by me and I'm pretty sure Dimitri and I have no future.<br /> Sitting on the stairs, I decided to take a leap of faith and call Kayan. If I could just get her to listen to me for a second, I would tell her how sorry I am and try to fix things.<br /> As I dialed her number, it went directly to voice-mail, and after trying a few more times unsuccessfully, I decided to go see her. I ordered an Uber, waiting outside for a few minutes before the car pulled up.<br /> I got in, gave the driver her address and stared blankly out the window. The only sounds were that of the music playing in the dashboard.<br /> Ten minutes later, I was standing on the curb outside Kayan's townhouse. Hesitantly, I opened the gate, trudged up the steps and rang the bell. I was there waiting for a few minutes, I called her but there was no response.<br /> I walked to the garden by the lamp post where she always hid a spare key. It was gone.<br /> Just as I was about to step from the yard, I was stopped in my tracks by a faint voice. My hopes increased but when I turned around expecting Kayan, no one was there.<br /> What was that then, I thought to myself.<br /> I reopened the Uber app, placed my request and waited by the curb.<br /> "She's not here you know." I was startled by the voice and was relieved to see her neighbor Michael.<br /> "What do you mean? Where is she?" I asked hurriedly.<br /> He eyed me suspiciously before replying,<br /> "Seeing you here looking like poop tells me you had a role in Kay's sudden departure 2 hours ago." His words were true yet hurtful, I castedmy eyes down in shame.<br /> "You don't know, Mike, just tell me where she went, I need to talk to her before it's too late" I begged him.<br /> The prick was nonchalant as he leant against her gate typing away on his phone. After getting a ping, indicating a message, he looked up at me smirking.<br /> "Well if you must know, my girl left for England indefinitely..." he paused, struggling to hold back a snicker, "...Oh and she says you should go yourself or Dimatro, whatever the pretty boy's name is." Michael was now clutching his side laughing hysterically while I sighed in defeat.<br /> She's gone! And now there's no way I will find her because I can't go to her family and I'm pretty sure she's already changed her number!<br /> I didn't warrant Michael a response since the Uber pulled up, I hopped in and left.<br /> My phone began vibrating in my pocket and I grabbed it quickly, just hoping it would be Kayan. I was disappointed as Dimitri's name flashed on the screen.<br /> "What do you want Dimitri? Haven't we done enough, didn't you hear what your father said?" I shouted angrily, catching sight of the driver's raised brows in the rear view mirror.<br /> "Calm down Mari, I wanted to apologize for my Dad. I'm getting discharged now so I'm heading home, I need to sort things out with Kay." Though I had wanted the same thing minutes ago, I couldn't help the pang of jealousy that gripped me.<br /> Before I could stop myself I snarled in response<br /> "Thanks for asking how I'm doing you prick! Oh and don't bother going there because she's gone!"<br /> "What are you talking about Mari! This is not the time to joke with me..." I'd had enough of his nonsense so I cut him mid sentence " Kay's gone Dimitri, I just left the house, she's not home and her neighbor says she left for England." The other end of the line was silent.<br /> I looked at the screen to see if the call had been disconnected but the line was still open.<br /> "Dimitri?" He sighed in response and I heard him grunt in pain, perhaps moving too quickly on his injured leg.<br /> "I'm here Mari. How will I fix things if I don't know where to find her? Of all the places, she had to chose England!? Couldn't she have just gone to her parents? What am I going to do now?"<br /> I wanted to speak but my throat felt as if it was clogged.<br /> I cut the call, switched to airplane mode and rested my head against the window as fresh salty tears rolled down my cheeks.<br /> I lost everything.<br /> My best friend. Dimitri . And a family who accepted me without judgement and showed me nothing but love all these years. | Lio111 | 16 | https://facebook.com/61554822209907 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

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." | ForFun-120 | 72 | https://facebook.com/61554751622817 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Instantly, my muscles all revolted against that idea. My entire body was sore, but my core made sure to remind me that it'd taken a beating the night before. I wiped my eyes and sat up, unsure of where I was for a moment. Until I looked around. There were toned and undressed hips all around me. I smiled to myself as I captured the image in my mind for rainy days in my future. Mack, Jones, and Xavier were all tangled in the different blankets they'd brought with them to bed the night before. Earlier that morning, really.<br /> The back of the tour bus was a bedroom, fitted with one massive bed that took up the entire room. The normal tour bus accommodations existed between the bathroom and large bedroom, but no one had volunteered to sleep in their usual bed. They'd each found a way to wrap around me in the big bed and didn't miss the chance to take me once more before we passed out for good.<br /> ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ<br /> Layla<br /> "Oh, yeah! Eat me, Matty!" The woman screaming for my boyfriend was the lead singer of a moderately popular band called The Homewreckers. It was an aptly named band, apparently. Of course, she sounded amazing as she screamed. I always felt like a choking chimpanzee when I came out loud.<br /> I stood in the doorway of The Homewreckers' dressing room and took a deep breath. Unfortunately, it was scented with weed. "Hey, Matthew?"<br /> Matthew, who'd always told me he hated being called Matty, yanked his head out of Miriam Dark's private part and spun around to face me. It was almost comical how fast he spun and how wide his eyes were. He was white collar handsome. His hair was always perfectly cut, his eyebrows were never too long or bushy, and he shaved his face twice a day. He had nice blue eyes and a nice smile. Nice body, nice manhood, nice guy. Well, maybe not a nice guy. After all, his face was covered in another woman's private partl fluids.<br /> "Layla! What are you doing here?" He climbed to his feet and I watched in disgust as he shoved his flaccid manhood back into his nice dress pants. Then, as an afterthought, he wiped his face and stumbled closer to me. "This isn't..."<br /> I rolled my eyes. "It isn't what it looks like? God, Matthew, at least be original."<br /> Miriam took her time closing her legs and gently patted Matthew's shoulder. "Are we done here, Matty? Or do you think you'll be finished soon and want to finish here?"<br /> Laughing, I rolled my shoulders and leveled a hard stare at Matty. "We're done. Whatever we had is over, so feel free to finish playtime with whoever and whatever. I'm on vacation for a few days, so don't call me."<br /> He rushed after me and grabbed my arm. "Wait a second, Layla. I'm sorry. I messed up. Just give me a second to explain."<br /> I yanked my arm free and scowled at him. "Don't touch me."<br /> "Come on, Layla. Don't be like this. Talk to me. I feel terrible." He tried to take my hand again. "Please, baby."<br /> I wasn't going to let him see that I was upset. He didn't deserve that. Instead, I stepped away from him and snarled. "Touch me and I'll break every one of your fingers, Matty. Go and finish sleeping with your client. I believe she's still waiting."<br /> "Jesus. You work for me, Layla! How do you think this is going to go?"<br /> I backed away from him. "I think it's going to go just fine. Like I said, I'm on vacation. Don't call me. Don't message me. Don't think about me. As my ex-boyfriend or my boss."<br /> " Maybe not you, the perfect Layla.You have to accept that." He followed me. "I know that. I shouldn't have started anything with Miriam, but when I'm on the road with the band, it's hard. I miss you and she's there."<br /> My heart hardened and I took a deep breath. "How long have you been sleeping with her?"<br /> He swallowed so hard I saw his Adam's apple bobble. "Come on, Layla. None of this will matter. I'll stop. I'll stop and we can get engaged. You want that, right?"<br /> I gagged. "Ew, Matthew. There's not a chance that I'm getting engaged to you! I'd rather stick my papilla in a truck winch and turn it on."<br /> Miriam sauntered out of her dressing room topless and looked me over. "We've been slept for a year. Matty eats private part like a champ."<br /> A real smile stretched my lips. "Now I know you're full of foolish talk. He might get an climax, but a champ? Hardly. Anyway, enjoy him. I hope him not having a girlfriend doesn't ruin your lady boner."<br /> "Miriam, go back inside! Layla, just stop and talk to me!"<br /> Miriam and I both answered Matthew in unison. <br /> I looked at her and shrugged. "Maybe you're not all bad."<br /> Without waiting for either of them to say anything else, I turned around and walked away, ignoring Matthew as he called my name. Eventually he stopped and I walked faster. I needed to get out of there before I cried. I wasn't about to cry backstage at a music festival. Someone would probably jump out and tit punch me as some anti-crying ritual.<br /> As I walked faster, I couldn't fight the way my eyes filled with tears. No matter how lackluster Matthew was, I'd devoted years of my life to him. I'd just wasted my vacation time on him, too. I thought sneaking out to meet him on the road would be fun and lend some much needed excitement to our relationship. Things hadn't been good...ever...but I'd hoped that we could at least get back to a place where I didn't dread seeing him at work every day.<br /> I wiped at my eyes and felt the mascara I'd coated my eyelashes with earlier. Stupid. I swore and stomped my way farther away from Matthew and the ugly end of our relationship. The image of his hip in the air while he happily ate Miriam Dark's hoo-hah like a pig in slop would forever be burned into my memory.<br /> I couldn't wait to get back home to my apartment and destroy everything of Matthew's that he'd left behind. I needed to update my social media. I didn't do much on it anymore, but I couldn't stand the idea of people thinking I was still with the loser. I'd have to call Grandma. That thought made me want to sob. She hated Matthew, but she liked that I wasn't alone in LA. Knowing I was single again was going to worry her. And if she told Jagger, my older brother, about me being single, Jagger would call and demand to know what'd happened. Then, he would try to fly out and kick Matthew's hip. It was just a mess.<br /> Growling out a frustrated sound, I looked down to make sure I stepped over a big mess of cords. I couldn't believe someone had left the stage like that. It was a hazard. Not to mention, it would be so easy to show if someone tripped over the wrong cord.<br /> I should've been paying attention because when the crowd's wild cheering broke through my self-pitying stupor, I looked up to see how close I'd gotten to the main stage. Unfortunately, a man with a guitar was coming off the stage, looking back at another man behind him. I was moving too fast to stop in time and he wasn't looking. It happened so fast that I didn't even make a sound as I smacked right into the man and felt pain before bouncing off his hard body and going down hard. Those tangled cords.<br /> I heard a deep voice growl above me, but I reached up to feel my forehead and felt something wet. I knew my eyes went as wide as softballs and when I pulled my fingers down and saw red, I groaned. Blood was my kryptonite. My vision darkened and I gagged on my way down.<br /> <br /> Mack<br /> "Well." By the time I realized what was happening, the curvy brunette was flat on the ground. I dropped to my knees next to her and swore when I saw the blood on her forehead. "This is a new form of falling for me."<br /> Xavier squatted on her other side and frowned. "Not really a great time for joking. You knocked her out."<br /> Jones sighed and ran his hands through his hair. "Where'd she come from? Also, maybe look where you're going from now on. You ran the poor thing over. Big time."<br /> I brushed her hair out of her face and had a completely ridiculous moment of feeling like I was staring down at Sleeping Beauty. She was gorgeous. I gently patted her soft cheek. "Ma'am? Hello?"<br /> "Great work. She's jumping right to life." Jones looked over his shoulder. "You've got about thirty seconds to get her on her feet and out of the way before the crowd beats back security and runs back here."<br /> I could hear the commotion he was hearing and ground my teeth. We'd just come off an amazing show. I had planned on going to a bar and getting hammered. Taking care of a Disney princess hadn't been in my plans, but it didn't look like I had an option. I couldn't just leave her on the ground and I didn't know any of the stage hands enough to trust them with an unconscious woman.<br /> "Fine." I stood up and lifted her body over my shoulder. Her head and arms hung limply and bounced off my hip, but I figured it was better for her than getting trampled to death. "Let's get her to our bus and get the medics to check her out. She'll be safe there until she can wake up and go."<br /> Xavier nodded once and charged ahead, clearing a path. He was a giant of a man and no one was dumb enough to stay in his way. They didn't understand what a gentle soul he was. I was thankful for that when they jumped out of our way, though. Especially with a crowd of rabid fans chasing after us.<br /> Jones barked at security to make sure no one followed us out into the artist lot and slammed the heavy metal door shut behind us. He swore and scowled at the door like it was the problem. "What do we even pay security for if they can't keep people away?"<br /> The woman over my shoulder groaned and grabbed my hips. I waited to see if she would say anything else, but she didn't. Her arms fell limp again and I released a breath at not having her scream and freak out while dangling over my shoulder.<br /> "I'll call the medic." Xavier hurried ahead to the bus.<br /> "This puts a damper on my plans." I sighed and glanced over at Jones. "We put on a good show and I was planning on drinking my face off to celebrate."<br /> "The medics are quick. We'll get her taken care of, apologize, and then send her on her way. With the medics, hopefully." He ran his eyes over the full hip over my shoulder. "Too bad you knocked her out before seeing if she wanted to drink with us."<br /> I laughed. "She sure is pretty. I doubt she'll be in a forgiving mood, though. I should've been looking at where I was going."<br /> "Why change now? Forget what I said earlier. We're in our forties. Let's not waste our time. Old dogs and new tricks, you know." He reached the bus before me and opened the door. "You put your guitar down."<br /> I winced. "I'll send a text to Shane as soon as I put her down."<br /> "I'll do it now. They're going to have to chase down whatever fan saw it and took it, probably. I highly doubt it's still sitting where you left it."<br /> I didn't want to think about my baby being in someone else's hands so instead, I focused on the woman in my arms. I climbed the steps and entered the bus, letting the cool AC wash over my overheated skin. The first space on the bus was a living room with four comfortable couches and I eased the unconscious woman down on one of them.<br /> Stretched out on the couch, her curves were even more noticeable. She was wearing tight black jeans and a low-cut top that was black and mostly straps and lace. I didn't get it, but I liked it. It was bad for me to notice her body, but the top curves of her breasts were spilling out of the shirt deliciously.<br /> I forced my eyes to her forehead and frowned. The cut was definitely from my baby. It looked like either a cord or a corner of my guitar had hit her just perfectly to leave a small cut. The skin around the cut didn't look too angry and overall, she looked okay. Besides being unconscious. I ran my hands under the back of her head and felt around to see if I found a lump from her hitting her head on the ground, but there was nothing.<br /> "The medics are tied up at another stage." Xavier growled in frustration and stared down at the woman. "Cut looks fine. Anything along the back of her head?"<br /> I shook my head. "No. She seems fine, honestly."<br /> "I don't like that she passed out." He sat down across from her and rested his elbows on his knees. "Go ahead and shower. I'll watch over her until you're back."<br /> Xavier, Jones, and I had served in the military together. We'd each done enough time to know how to take care of basic medical emergencies and several other things we'd never need in civilian life. It'd been a long time since any of us had to do first-aid in the field, but we could still hold our own.<br /> "Sure. I'll be fast." I winced. "I'm the one who plowed her over. I should be the one that has to explain it."<br /> I showered as fast as possible in the small bus bathroom but I still wasn't fast enough. By the time I shut the water off, I could already hear a husky female voice I didn't recognize ranting away. I wrapped a towel around myself and rushed out to apologize and get her to stop chewing out Jones and Xavier.<br /> What I found wasn't her chewing them out, though. She was pacing back and forth in front of where they sat on their own couches with her hands on her hips and fury on her face. She wasn't angry at us, though. Nope. It seemed another man had pissed in her cereal that morning.<br /> "This is just the cherry on the cake. Why not get a scar to memorialize the day I walked in on my boyfriend cheating on me? I'm so angry I could punch him in the manhood."<br /> I swear all three of us males cringed. I also had to rearrange my thinking. She was no Disney princess. She had spunk, to say the least.<br /> "She had the nerve to brag about his oral skills. Please. I literally have had better climaxs humping my hand. Either her needs are rock bottom, which is great for her if that's the case, or she was just lying to try to hurt me. I'm embarrassed, sure! It's not everyday you walk in on your boyfriend motorboating Miriam Dark's private part lips, but whatever. I'm just pissed. I came all the way here. I shaved. I put lotion on every inch of my body. Even the backs of my knees. Did I care that they're going to get sweaty faster now? Nope. I wanted to be smooth."<br /> I leaned against the doorway and let myself really look at her. She was taller than I'd thought and had legs that stretched on for miles. The black jeans hugged her full hip and hips in a way that made my mouth water. Her waist clipped in just enough that my hands would fit in the notch perfectly if I was taking her from behind. Her shirt made her full breasts look even more delicious while she was standing and I was at half-mast almost immediately.<br /> Her body, as stunning as it was, nearly touched on the beauty that was her face. Her big blue eyes were surrounded by dark eyelashes and her pouty mouth was stained red. She had dark brown hair down to her shoulders that curled wildly. If she hadn't been swearing, her creamy skin would've really made her look like a Disney princess. She could've probably gone down to Florida and got a job playing one of them right then. I'd never been attracted to a Disney princess before, though.<br /> "And you want to know the worst part? I work for the stupid prick. And no, before anyone has the jackass assumption that I'm sleeping my way into my position, I'm not. I'm better at his job than he is and I've been sticking around for even longer than I should've because he kept promising that he'd put in a good word with his boss for me. Because I deserve it. I do his work. I can't remember the last time he's had to do a single thing. At least he chose to sleep with Miriam himself. Although, I'm pretty sure I'd be better at that, too."<br /> Jones snorted and held up his hands when the little firecracker spun on him. "I'm not disagreeing with you, honey. I'm just enjoying hearing you eviscerate this manhoodhead."<br /> She stared at him and slowly her face darkened and she brought her hand up to cover her mouth. She looked absolutely distressed and I hated it.<br /> "What's wrong?" I made myself known and was rewarded with watching her eyes trail down my chest. The way her eyes got all bedroom heavy and she licked her lips turned that almost solid shaft into a full blown shaft. I had to shift to hide it from her curious eyes.<br /> She glanced back at Jones and then at Xavier. "Oh."<br /> Xavier stood up and inched towards her. "Are you okay? Your head... Is it hurting?"<br /> She looked up at him and I saw the way her body naturally swayed towards my giant of a best friend. Something about that made me want to hug her. Some women treated Xavier and his size like a threat and it hurt him. "Oh. I can't believe I didn't realize before now. You're JAX."<br /> Jones sighed and nodded. "Yep."<br /> She pushed her curls back from her face. "Don't worry. I'm not going to fangirl. I'm just mortified. I work for your record label and this is now the most unprofessional vacation I've ever taken. I have to go. Can you just forget you ever saw me?" | Libb002 | 48 | https://facebook.com/61551403614101 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

"<br /> "Elliot, what's going on?" I look at him, then at her, and back at him.<br /> He quickly stands up from his seat. "She was just leaving. Weren't you, Clara?<br /> She bats her eyelashes rapidly. "Honey, I think it's time for her to learn the truth. Don't you agree?"<br /> Clara laughs, looking at me. "I'm the woman who slept with him yesterday and the days before."<br /> "Taylor, please let me explain." He has the nerve to plead with me, after what he did.<br /> No. I won't stay here and listen as he tries to find an excuse for what he did. <br /> "Taylor, please. I want to talk to you." He tries again.<br /> "There's nothing to talk about" I snap at him.<br /> <br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> <br /> I take the stairs to go to my apartment. Iโm so lost in my thoughts, that I donโt pay any attention to my surroundings.<br /> "Watch it!โ Someone warns me.<br /> I look up, and a man that I have never seen before is standing right in front of me. He has dark hair cut in a military style and deep blue eyes. I see tattoos on his neck that seem to go all the way down to his torso. I canโt help, but think how handsome he is. I take a step back to put some distance between us.<br /> He must be my new neighbour.<br /> I smile as I present my hand to him. โHello, my name is Taylor Walker. Whatโs yourโs?โ<br /> He glares at me as if Iโm already a nuisance to him. โAnnoyed.โ He let out as he walks past me.<br /> Rude! I say to myself before I keep walking up the stairs.<br /> I unlock the door with my keys and look through my mail. โBills. Bills. Bills.โ I mumble to myself.<br /> I will deal with them later. Right now, all I want is to take a cup of coffee before I put myself pretty for my date with Elliot.<br /> I donโt smoke or drink. My only dope is coffee. I need at least four cups per day, and thatโs when I have a good day.<br /> As I make a cup of coffee for myself, I take a disposable cup to make another one. I donโt know why I even bother with this. So why am I purring a second cup for a man I donโt even know, is beyond me.<br /> Okay, Iโll admit. I didnโt like our first encounter.<br /> I wonder if he takes sugar or milk. He seems like a man that likes his coffee black.<br /> I bite my lips nervously as I pass my threshold.<br /> Why am I doing this again? I ask myself on the way to his apartment.<br /> I know where he leaves. Heโs my next-door neighbour.<br /> I clear my throat as I knock on his door.<br /> No response.<br /> I knock again.<br /> โWhat the freak do you want?โ He snaps at me while he opens his door.<br /> My heart skips a beat. Maybe itโs because of his deep blue eyes that they keep staring at me as if they want to devour my soul or something.<br /> I smile so he wonโt notice how nervous he makes me. โUhmm, I wanted to properly welcome you to the building.โ I give him the cup of coffee that I made for him.<br /> He takes a drag at his cigar, looking at my body all the way up to my eyes. โAre you here, because you want to freak?โ<br /> My jaw drops on the floor. โWhat? No!โ I nearly scream at him.<br /> He chuckles, seeing my reaction. โThatโs what I thought.โ He starts to close the door.<br /> โWait, you could at least tell me your name.โ I wonโt back down, even if his words made me uncountable. I put my hand in my chest to give a little drama. โDonโt tell me that a man at your size is scared by a little woman like myself.โ Itโs my turn to tease him.<br /> Iโm five foot tall, and heโs like six. Heโs a mountain man.<br /> He takes the cup from my hand. โIโm not scared. Thank you for the coffee, buttercup.โ He then closes the door in my face.<br /> Argh!<br /> You donโt get to take my coffee and not answer my question.<br /> I knock on his door harder this time.<br /> โLeave me the freak alone!โ He says, glaring at me.<br /> I shake my head stubbornly. โNot until you tell me your name. Itโs rude otherwise.โ<br /> โYou wonโt leave me the freak alone, is that it?โ He let out a growl. โOwen Blake. Now Piss off!โ Once again he closes the door in my face.<br /> I smirk as I walk back to my place.<br /> I look at the time. โFreak! Iโm going to be late for my date with Elliot. I have to hurry to get ready.โ<br /> I drink my coffee in a hurry and run inside the bathroom to take a shower.<br /> Elliot and I have been together for over a year now. He wants me to move in with him, but I donโt want to. I love my independence and my apartment to give them up.<br /> I brush my teeth after my shower as a towel covers my body.<br /> As I look inside my closet, I wonder what Iโm going to wear. I think Iโm going to go with my green cocktail dress and some black heels. I decided to put light makeup on myself.<br /> I run, hearing my cell phone inside the kitchen. โHello.โ<br /> โHey, baby,โ Elliot says over the phone. โIโm sorry, but I have to reschedule our date. I have an emergency at work that I canโt get out of.โ<br /> I sigh. Itโs not the first time that this has happened.<br /> โI can always come over tomorrow.โ He suggests.<br /> โSure.โ<br /> โI am sorry, but I truly have to go now. See you tomorrow.โ He hung up before I have the chance to say goodbye to him.<br /> I just got dressed for nothing.<br /> I need some air.<br /> I grab my jacket to go upstairs to the rooftop. I love to go there and think.<br /> As I arrive, I stare up at the sky. A full moon is out tonight.<br /> I hear a noise and when I look to where it was coming from, I jump as I see a shadow not far from me.<br /> โRelax, buttercup. Itโs just me.โ He smirks, seeing my reaction.<br /> I put my hand on my chest while my heart beat fast. โGod, Owen. Warn someone before you give them a heart attack.โ<br /> He takes a drag from his cigar, as he keeps staring at me.<br /> Will he stop doing that?<br /> โYou know, one of these days, this will kill you.โ I point at what he has in between his fingers.<br /> He exhales the smoke from his lungs while his eyes try to pierce my soul.<br /> I feel nervous under his stare, but at the same time, I feel drawn to them.<br /> โWho cares how I would die. Eventually, everyone will meet their fate. Not that I care, but where are you going dressing up like that?โ<br /> I look down on myself. โI was supposed to go out on a date with my boyfriend. He cancelled at the last minute. He has an emergency at work.โ<br /> Owen licks his lips. โMaybe heโs screwing with someone as we speak.โ<br /> I cross my arms in front of me, feeling annoyed by him. โWhy are you so mean to me? I never did something to deserve this. Besides, I trust him. He would never do something like that to me.โ<br /> I take a few steps to leave but stop at the last minute. โAll I did was try to be nice to you, and thatโs what I get.โ<br /> He frowns his eyebrows. โI never asked you freak. Itโs not my problem if you canโt handle the truth.โ<br /> โUgh, Iโm leaving,โ I say as I step further away from him.<br /> โGood riddance.โ He says loud enough for me to hear him.<br /> Owenโs words start to hunt me more than they should. I trust Elliot. Heโs a good man. Iโm sure all he wanted was a reaction from me, and he succeeded.<br /> Thatโs all and nothing else.<br /> I trust Elliot. I say one more time.<br /> <br /> I look around my apartment, and Iโm satisfied with the cleaning. Iโm not a clean freak. I just love my apartment to be spotless. While I cleaned my apartment, it distracted me from what happened yesterday.<br /> <br /> Owenโs words still bother me.<br /> <br /> โ<br /> Maybe heโs screwing with someone as we speak.โ<br /> <br /> Ugh! Why did he have to say this?<br /> <br /> I know it isnโt true. I trust Elliot. When we spend time together, he never gives me the impression that heโs cheating. Heโs always a sweetheart.<br /> <br /> Iโm so lost in my thoughts that when the doorโs bell ring, I jump a little.<br /> <br /> โIt must be Elliot,โ I say to myself as I go to answer the door.<br /> <br /> โHey, baby.โ Elliot smiles at me, holding a huge bouquet of red roses in his hands.<br /> <br /> Like I said, a sweetheart.<br /> <br /> I love roses. I think they are pretty, but they arenโt my favourite kind. The flower that I love the most is called sakura in Japanese. Which means cherry blossom.<br /> <br /> โAre those for me?โ I ask him.<br /> <br /> He smirks. โWhy of course. Only the best for my girlfriend.โ<br /> <br /> โWhat did I do to deserve such a gift?โ I play along.<br /> <br /> โDo I need a reason to spoil you?โ He wonders in a playful tone. โI saw them, and I thought of you.โ<br /> <br /> Out of nowhere, someone chuckles behind Elliot. As my boyfriend moves to the side, I see Owen ready to go inside his apartment while he has an arm around a womanโs waist.<br /> <br /> Off course.<br /> <br /> โ<br /> Are you here, because you want to freak?โ<br /> I remember Owen saying those words to me.<br /> <br /> Stop thinking about this, or youโre going to blush in front of him, and FYI you arenโt interested in him. You have a boyfriend so you can forget it. I scold myself.<br /> <br /> โSo this is the boyfriend.โ Owen looks at the flower in Elliotโs hands. Thatโs what I thought.โ He laughs, guiding his guest inside his apartment.<br /> <br /> What did he mean by thatโs what I thought?<br /> <br /> Is he referring to his words from last night?<br /> <br /> Why do I even bother racking my brain over this?<br /> <br /> Owen isnโt worth my time if he's acting like a jerk.<br /> <br /> Elliot clears his throat once we are inside my place. โSo, who was that?โ<br /> <br /> I take the bouquet from his hands. โOwen Blake, my new neighbour.โ<br /> <br /> He nods his head, but he doesnโt seem happy. โWhat did he mean by that what I thought? Did you speak to him?โ<br /> <br /> I open a kitchen cabinet to grab the vase. โHeโs my new neighbour. I couldnโt ignore him.โ<br /> <br /> Even if heโs an hip.<br /> <br /> โSo.โ He rubs his chin with his fingers. โWhat did he mean when he said thatโs what I thought?โ He repeats the question.<br /> <br /> I bite my lips nervously. I donโt know how he will react if I tell him, but I canโt lie to him. That wonโt be fair. Besides, I donโt have anything to hide.<br /> <br /> I pour some water inside the vase. โI told him that you were working late last night, and he said that it was because you were cheating on me. โ<br /> <br /> He frowns. โDid you believe him?โ<br /> <br /> I shake my head. โOf course not. I know you will never do such a thing to me.โ<br /> <br /> He let out a sight. โI donโt like this.โ<br /> <br /> I turn my head to look at him. โYou donโt like what?โ<br /> <br /> He folds his arms in front of him. โHim. He seems dangerous. You should stay clear of him. Better yet, come live with me permanently.โ<br /> <br /> Not this again!<br /> <br /> We already talked about this. He knows exactly where I stand on that matter. How should I put this in words so I wonโt upset his feelings? He barely stepped inside my apartment, and we are already talking about this.<br /> <br /> Yes, we argue sometimes. We are a couple. Everyone argues sometimes.<br /> <br /> I cut the edges of the roses before I put them in the vase. โ We talked about this. Iโm not going to move in with you, just because you dislike my neighbour. Iโm a big girl, I can take care of myself.โ<br /> <br /> Freak!<br /> <br /> Was I too harsh?<br /> <br /> Elliot inhales sharply, nodding his head.<br /> <br /> I know heโs not happy with my answer, but itโs the truth. Iโm not saying. Iโm saying not right now.<br /> <br /> Maybe itโs time to change the subject?<br /> <br /> Before I have the chance to do any of that, I feel Elliotโs arms circling my waist from behind. โIโm sorry, okay? I donโt come here to argue with you.<br /> <br /> Itโs like he read my mind.<br /> <br /> I turn around to bring my arms around his neck. โSo, how was work yesterday?โ<br /> <br /> Elliot makes a face, looking at me. โI donโt want to talk about work when Iโm with you.โ<br /> <br /> Itโs not the answer that I was looking for. I canโt blame him as I didnโt give him the answer that he wanted. So I will put this matter to the side and concentrate on my boyfriend.<br /> <br /> I smile at him. โAnd do tell me, what do you have in mind?โ<br /> <br /> Elliot smirks before he pecks my lips. โTrust me, baby, I have an idea, but first I want us to go out, and then later at my place, I will show you what I have in mind.โ<br /> <br /> Yesterday, I took the time to make myself pretty for our date that didnโt even happen. If he wants to take me out, he will have to take me with what Iโm wearing.<br /> <br /> I move away from him to go grab my purse and my jacket.<br /> <br /> โAre you going to change first?โ He wonders, looking at my body.<br /> <br /> I put my hand on my waist. โAre you saying that what Iโm wearing isnโt good enough for you?<br /> <br /> โNo.โ Heโs quick to say. โIt's just that I love seeing you in a cute little dress.โ<br /> <br /> I cross my arms in front of me. โIf you havenโt ditched me yesterday, you would have seen me into one.โ<br /> <br /> โIt wasnโt my fault. I had an emergency, and you know it.โ His words raise a little as he speaks.<br /> <br /> Thatโs exactly what I wanted to avoid us arguing.<br /> <br /> I go to him and peck him on the cheek. โIโm sorry, okay. I donโt know why I said that. I know it was out of hand on my part. Can we go now?โ<br /> <br /> He leaves a peck on my forehead. โIโm sorry too.โ<br /> <br /> Elliot takes my hand in his to guide us out of my place. I guess he doesnโt want to argue either.<br /> <br /> As we walk, a noise that comes from Owenโs apartment makes me freeze on the spot.<br /> <br /> โYes! Yes! Blake, yes!โ<br /> <br /> I bite my lips. I never screamed this way when Iโm intimate with Elliot. Am I missing something? Iโm not saying that our drill life is boring, Iโve never been so loud.<br /> <br /> Is it me, or does Elliot make us walk faster than necessary?<br /> <br /> I look around after the hostess of the restaurant shows us our table. As I look around, I notice that everyone is wearing nice clothes. We are definitely in a luxury fashion restaurant.<br /> <br /> I should have probably listened to Elliot and worn something nicer.<br /> <br /> Did he do it on purpose?<br /> <br /> No, Iโm sure he didnโt. I donโt even know why it crossed my mind.<br /> <br /> As I sit on the chair, I notice that the woman whoโs sitting to my right is judging me for the way sheโs looking at me. Maybe it has something to do with what Iโm wearing. I feel undressed. Is it as if everyoneโs judging me? I clear my throat, looking at the menu instead.<br /> <br /> Elliot didnโt notice anything. Heโs on the phone with someone from his work. I donโt mind. Iโm used to it by now.<br /> <br /> โNo. No, this isnโt a good idea.โ Elliot frowns as he speaks. He doesnโt seem happy. โWe will deal with this tomorrow.โ He hung up right after.<br /> <br /> I look at him with concern. โIs everything ok?โ<br /> <br /> โMmhmm.โ He mumbles.<br /> <br /> I wonโt push on the matter. If he wants to talk about it, he will.<br /> <br /> A young woman around my age stands beside us. โHello, my name is Lucy. I will be your waitress for tonight. Are you ready to order?โ She asks with a smile on her lips.<br /> <br /> I look through the menu, and even though everything seems delicious. I decided to go with something light. โA Caesar salad for me.โ<br /> <br /> She nods her head, writing it on her pad. โAnything to drink?โ<br /> <br /> I shake my head. โNo. Just water, please.โ<br /> <br /> Lucy turns her intention to my boyfriend. โAnd you, sir?โ<br /> <br /> โIโm going to go with the lamb shanks and a bottle of your finest beverage.โ He closes the menu and gives it to her.<br /> <br /> I let out a sigh. Itโs not that Iโm bothered that he has money, but he doesnโt have to show it every time we go out. He would have brought me to a food truck for our date, and I would still enjoy myself. I donโt need much. Just spending time with him would be enough for me.<br /> <br /> Elliot takes my hand once Lucy leaves with our order. โSo, what did you do today?โ<br /> <br /> I give him a smirk. โI donโt want to talk about work. Wasnโt what you wanted?โ<br /> <br /> He let out a chuckle. โI guess I deserve that.โ<br /> <br /> I look to my right, and the woman from earlier once again is staring at me. The guy thatโs with her is trying to get her intentions, but he falls miserably.<br /> <br /> Poor guy.<br /> <br /> As Elliot looks at the same woman, I notice his expression change for only a second.<br /> <br /> Iโm about to ask him whatโs up with that when Iโm distracted by Lucy as she brings our meals.<br /> <br /> I get up from my seat. โIf youโll excuse me, Iโm going to powder my nose.โ<br /> <br /> Elliot takes my hand to leave a peck on my skin. โOk.โ<br /> <br /> Iโm not going to powder my nose. It was better to say this than say Iโm going to the toilet to do the number one. I have manners.<br /> <br /> Once Iโm finished, I look at my reflection in the mirror. The thing I love the most about me is my hair. At first, you think they are black, but when the light hits them, the brown shines through them.<br /> <br /> As I walk back to my table, I stop on my track. I see the woman from earlier sitting in my seat while she talks with Elliot. He doesnโt seem happy with her presence.<br /> <br /> Whatโs wrong with this picture? I wonder.<br /> <br /> When Elliot sees me approaching them, I see the panic in his eyes.<br /> <br /> Owenโs words from last night replay in my head.<br /> โ<br /> Maybe heโs screwing with someone as we speak.โ<br /> <br /> Am I gullible to think that Elliot isnโt cheating on me? I have to get to the bottom of this before I make any accusations. I could be wrong here. It can be nothing.<br /> <br /> โElliot, whatโs going on?โ I look at him, then at her, and back at him.<br /> <br /> He quickly stands up from his seat. โShe was just leaving. Werenโt you, Clara?<br /> <br /> She bats her eyelashes rapidly. โHoney, I think itโs time for her to learn the truth. Donโt you agree?โ<br /> <br /> I cross my arms in front of me. โAnd who exactly are you?โ<br /> <br /> I suspect whatโs going on.<br /> <br /> Clara laughs, looking at me. โIโm the woman who slept with him yesterday and the days before.โ<br /> <br /> I canโt believe this. He told me that he wasnโt cheating.<br /> <br /> I look around, and everyone is staring at us.<br /> <br /> I canโt believe what is happening.<br /> <br /> โTaylor.โ I hear Elliot says my name.<br /> <br /> I ignore him completely. I go grab my coat and purse to get out of here. On the way out I call a uber company to come and pick me up.<br /> <br /> Once Iโm outside, waiting. Someone grabs my hand, and I know who that is. Iโm quick to remove my hand from his hold.<br /> <br /> โTaylor, please let me explain.โ He has the nerve to plead with me, after what he did.<br /> <br /> No. I wonโt stay here and listen as he tries to find an excuse for what he did. I ignore him completely as I look ahead me.<br /> <br /> โTaylor, please. I want to talk to you.โ He tries again.<br /> <br /> โThereโs nothing to talk aboutโ I snap at him.<br /> <br /> โElliot, there you are.โ Clara joins us outside. โNow that she knows, we can finally be together.โ<br /> <br /> Donโt cry. I say to myself. Not here, and certainly not in front of her.<br /> <br /> He turns to look at her to ask her to leave. An argument between them starts, and thankfully, I see the uber appear on the road.<br /> <br /> Neither of them notices that I get in the uber.<br /> <br /> All I want is to go home. A tear falls down my cheek as I try to keep it at bay. The driver doesnโt seem to be effective in my situation. Iโm sure in his line of work he saw this a lot of times.<br /> <br /> I stand in front of my door with the keys in my hand. I donโt want to go in. Something tells me that Elliot is on his way to talk to me. I donโt want to see him.<br /> <br /> A stupid idea coss my mind.<br /> <br /> Iโm sure that Iโm going to regret this, but for now, itโs my best option. Elliot will never think to search for me there.<br /> <br /> I walk until Iโm in front of Owenโs door and knock on it.<br /> <br /> Freak! Maybe the girl that he was with is still with him.<br /> <br /> Iโm about to turn around as I change my mind when his door opens.<br /> <br /> He frowns at me. โItโs you again.โ<br /> <br /> โIโm sorry to bother you.โ I feel shy under his stare.<br /> <br /> I donโt know why Iโm standing here. I donโt even know the guy. I swallow my pride. โCan I come in, please? I argued with Eliott, and Iโm not ready to face him yet.โ<br /> <br /> To my surprise, he opens his door wider, just enough for me to enter his place. | Red111 | 15 | https://facebook.com/61554959872521 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | 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. | Lov002 | 57 | https://facebook.com/100092720766465 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Kayan<br /> I was betrayed by two people I trusted implicitly, my best friend and my fiancรฉ, or so i thought.<br /> Without saying a word, I bent down and picked up my phone. By this time Dimitri had donned his boxers and his slim fit navy dress pants. Mariana on the other hand was gripping the white sheet, trying to cover her body and was sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> Normally her tears would have stirred some sort of emotion but I felt absolutely nothing looking at her.<br /> Dimitri stepped towards me with his outstretched hand but I stepped back, and when I spoke my own voice surprised me.<br /> Two words, " How long?". I stared at both of them expectantly. Dimitri sighed and rubbed his face, looking at me with regret.<br /> When no response was forthcoming from him, I turned to Mariana and pinned her with a glare. " Shut up Mariana! I asked a question and I need an answer now!" I shouted.<br /> She pulled her knees to her chest as her body shook in fear, she had only seen me angry once so she knew not to taunt me. Dimitri on the other hand, was stunned.<br /> She looked at me and stuttered in fear " S....si...six months", and hung her head low. I absorbed her reply, laughed hysterically, which caught both of them by surprise. They looked at each other shrugging their shoulders and just as I started laughing suddenly, I stopped abruptly.<br /> "Six months you say? I guess this is the part where you'll say it was a mistake, you never meant to hurt me and you're both sorry right?." I spoke calmly, surprising myself.<br /> Dimitri was first to speak " Kay, please I'm so sorry. We were both tipsy after your work anniversary party,and after I dropped her off, everything went to terrible. I'm so sorry baby but..." I laughed again, cutting him off mid sentence.<br /> I held my hand up then turned to Mariana" What about you bimbo, any last words?" Her eyes bulged in fear and I watched her squirm in fear. She knew I could put a bullet between her eyes even with my eyes closed , thanks to my Dad taking me to the pistol range every Saturday for 2 years.<br /> She sprung to her knees, the sheet fell exposing her and I saw all the hickeys along her neck and on her breasts. "Kay please, let's talk about this. I'm so sorry and I regret this. I'm so sorry for hurting you like this, it wasn't planned."<br /> The nerve of this woman, I thought. I should have listened to my gut all those months ago. She kept thwarting our plans, started traveling a lot and would barely take my video calls then. And she kept changing or bashing my wedding plans and like a fool, I brushed it aside.<br /> Dimitri was the same, one business trip after another, late nights and then he was distant. When I asked him about it, he promised to do better than what he did, but there was a subtle change. We no longer have sleep.<br /> Both of them looked at me expectantly, waiting for the weak, docile Kayan to shed tears and assure them everything would be okay.<br /> I dropped my phone into my bag, grabbed my pistol and clicked the safety off. I swiftly fired two rounds which were followed by agonizing screams. I shot Dimitri in his thigh just inches from his shaft while Mariana got hers in her right shoulder. Just enough to cause pain but not be fatal.<br /> I walked out the room but turned to them saying " That's for the betrayal, I never want to see or hear from either of you again. The next time you won't be so lucky."<br /> I descended the stairs shakily, I touched my face checking for tears but there were none. My chest was convulsing but I refused to give in to the pain I was feeling.<br /> As I got to the last step, I looked around, marched over to the fireplace and threw all photos she had of us together into it. I lifted the stoker, broke her 60" Samsung TV and everything went red from thereon. I trashed her apartment then walked out as if nothing happened.<br /> I grabbed my baseball bat from my trunk, smashed all her windows and doors. Just as I about to leave, I saw Dimitri's Silver Range Rover across the street.<br /> How didn't I notice it before?<br /> I walked up to it and repeated my actions. When I was satisfied, I hopped into my van and drove away.<br /> ---- <br /> Dimitri<br /> I couldn't believe Kayan shot us and simply walked away. I had known her for over 6 years but I never encountered this side of her. I knew I deserved that, worst of all, I ruined the one good thing I had done.<br /> I was thinking with my shaft and not my brain, because in assessing the current situation, Mariana was just a good woman. There is attraction, but the feelings I have for Kayan are deeper.<br /> Her sobs reverberated around the bedroom , bringing me back to the current situation.<br /> When Kayan left the room, I heard her trashing Mariana's apartment downstairs and was about to go after her.<br /> Mariana's words stopped me dead in my tracks, "Leave her be, Dimitri, she will kill you! She needs to calm down first before we approach her." I turned to her slowly, trying to ignore the pain and blood gushing from my wound.<br /> "What do you mean Mari? I'm going after her! There is no us. This was a mistake. I need to talk to her!" I ran my hands over my face then slid my belt around my leg making a tourniquet.<br /> She slid off the bed, gripping the sheet with her uninjured shoulder. " Take it from me, we're lucky to be alive! You have never seen her upset or know what she's capable of in this state but I do!" She tiptoed to the door listening for any further sound from downstairs, but was greeted with silence.<br /> Mariana sat on the stairs shaking and crying while gripping her disheveled hair.<br /> The front door was ajar, I moved to lock it but the sight of Mariana's car took my breath away. I looked across the street to mine and it looked even worst.<br /> I shook my head, sighed and turned too quickly, causing a searing pain in the bullet wound.<br /> I called my driver Michael and told him to be quick and discreet.<br /> Mariana got dressed in the meantime while we waited with bated breaths.<br /> Michael arrived in about 10 minutes, his eyes expressed shock but he knew better than to ask any questions.<br /> He drove us to Wyckoff Medical, the only place I knew would be discreet about what happened.<br /> Using the back entrance, we were quickly ushered into separate rooms for assessment.<br /> As I laid on the bed, I felt Dr. Green prodding my wound for the bullet. He's been our family physician since I was a child, so when he asked who I pissed off this time , I sighed and ignored him.<br /> All I could think about was Kayan, she was my everything!<br /> Not anymore you prick, you screwed up and you're lucky to be alive, I shook my head, trying to shake guilt ridden thoughts from my subconscious.<br /> I reminisced on all the times we spent together, the plans we made for our future and our kids. I reflected on how she supported me even when my own father doubted me. She never gave up on me. You shut up Dimitri!<br /> Dr. Green waved his hand above my eyes while calling my name. " Did you hear anything I said just now?" he asked quietly.<br /> I sighed " No, what is it?". My tone was clipped but right now I didn't care, I could apologize later.<br /> He rolled his eyes before continuing "I said there's a detective waiting outside to talk to you, you know it's my duty to report this." He grabbed a scissors and cut the thread, signaling that he had finished stitching my wound.<br /> "You'll live, but stay off your feet for a few days, and use a crutch if you have to move around." Dr. Green bandaged my leg and was about to leave when I stopped him.<br /> "Wait, I apologize for my behavior Doc. Where's the young lady who came in with me? I need to see her now." He looked at me sadly, shook his head and left the room without a word.<br /> My guess is he figured out why Kayan hadn't rushed into the hospital demanding answers. The realization hit me of how I not only disappointed Kayan but everyone close to me, especially my parents. <br /> I must have dosed off from the pain medication I had gotten as I was woken up by Mariana gently shaking my shoulder and calling my name.<br /> Blinking my eyes to adjust to the bright lights, I grabbed the remote and adjusted my bed. Mariana looked terrible, her hair was unkempt and her eyes were swollen. Her right arm was bandaged and now in a sling.<br /> She sat in the chair beside the bed and hung her head low. " I spoke to the police, I told them we were mugged at the apartment as we were trying to finalize wedding arrangements." It was barely a whisper, but I sighed in relief.<br /> "We messed up but I agree, I'll tell them the same thing. Kayan doesn't deserve this." My throat felt hoarse so I reached for a tumbler with water, poured a cup and took several sips.<br /> " I told you we needed to stop Dimitri but you insisted on coming over!" I pinned her with a glare which caused her to shut up immediately.<br /> The nerve of this woman! I laughed coldly before turning to her " Oh so now it's my fault Mar? Surely you weren't complaining when I rammed your wet dripping private part with my shaft right? You never said stop! Anything else I'm forgetting?" My chest was heaving by the time I finished ranting.<br /> I was about to continue but her sobs erupted. She looked at me lost, guilt etched across her face before she stood to leave.<br /> "Look Mar, I'm sorry okay. I just don't know what to do." I held her wrist, my thumb caressing the inside of her hand in a comforting way. "How did she get in though?"<br /> Mariana was trembling as tears streamed down her face. She took a deep breath before she spoke. "I forgot she had a key from over a year ago. She would always check the place when I traveled for a convention or went to see my family."<br /> My mouth opened to speak but no words were forthcoming and they never came as the door banged open, slamming into the wall denting it.<br /> Jumping with fright, we turned to see my very pissed off father and my distraught mother. Before I could utter a word, he spoke," You, get out now and don't let me see your face again!" Mariana jumped in fear and ran from the room sobbing before I could stop her.<br /> "Dad i can explain...." He slammed his hand onto the small table, knocking the tumbler over.<br /> My mom grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down but he flicked her hand away and grabbed my hospital gown roughly, "Explain what exactly Dimitri? How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> "I'm going to fix this Dad, just give me a chance please." I turned towards my mom seeking support but she turned her head away from me. " Mom, please I'm sorry, I'll fix this. I'm gonna make everything right."<br /> My Dad simply scoffed at my words, took my Mom's hands and walked out the door.<br /> The only sound that filled the room was that of the water droplets bouncing on the floor.<br /> ---- <br /> Mariana<br /> I have never been more regretful in my entire life. My head was throbbing non stop, my eyes were puffy from all the tears I'd shed in the past 24 hours. My mind replayed the events and all I could think of, was that I should be dead by Kayan's hands.<br /> My driver dropped me off to the apartment, and as I stepped inside I once again surveyed the damage. Nothing was left untouched, I had to start over but I guess that's the price to pay for stabbing your best friend in the back for six months.<br /> I wanted to stop so many times, I knew it was wrong but Dimitri was like a spirit I couldn't get enough of.<br /> We decided to take the secret to our graves and everything was going great until I saw him a week later at Danny's Cafe. We sat and talked for a while but after an hour when we attempted to leave, the sexual tension was just too much to ignore.<br /> From thereon, we used our lunch breaks and any free time we could muster to screw each other senseless. After each encounter, we'd say it was the last time , but that never happened as soon after I took trips when he did or he came to my apartment before going home.<br /> All this time, I gave Kayan a million excuses as to why we couldn't meet up, continued planning her wedding virtually and offered excuses when she whined about Dimitri being overly consumed by work.<br /> I even ended things with my own boyfriend as our relationship became strained and miserable because of my infidelity.<br /> Now this is the endgame, I lost my best friend who always stood by me and I'm pretty sure Dimitri and I have no future.<br /> Sitting on the stairs, I decided to take a leap of faith and call Kayan. If I could just get her to listen to me for a second, I would tell her how sorry I am and try to fix things.<br /> As I dialed her number, it went directly to voice-mail, and after trying a few more times unsuccessfully, I decided to go see her. I ordered an Uber, waiting outside for a few minutes before the car pulled up.<br /> I got in, gave the driver her address and stared blankly out the window. The only sounds were that of the music playing in the dashboard.<br /> Ten minutes later, I was standing on the curb outside Kayan's townhouse. Hesitantly, I opened the gate, trudged up the steps and rang the bell. I was there waiting for a few minutes, I called her but there was no response.<br /> I walked to the garden by the lamp post where she always hid a spare key. It was gone.<br /> Just as I was about to step from the yard, I was stopped in my tracks by a faint voice. My hopes increased but when I turned around expecting Kayan, no one was there.<br /> What was that then, I thought to myself.<br /> I reopened the Uber app, placed my request and waited by the curb.<br /> "She's not here you know." I was startled by the voice and was relieved to see her neighbor Michael.<br /> "What do you mean? Where is she?" I asked hurriedly.<br /> He eyed me suspiciously before replying,<br /> "Seeing you here looking like poop tells me you had a role in Kay's sudden departure 2 hours ago." His words were true yet hurtful, I castedmy eyes down in shame.<br /> "You don't know, Mike, just tell me where she went, I need to talk to her before it's too late" I begged him.<br /> The prick was nonchalant as he leant against her gate typing away on his phone. After getting a ping, indicating a message, he looked up at me smirking.<br /> "Well if you must know, my girl left for England indefinitely..." he paused, struggling to hold back a snicker, "...Oh and she says you should go yourself or Dimatro, whatever the pretty boy's name is." Michael was now clutching his side laughing hysterically while I sighed in defeat.<br /> She's gone! And now there's no way I will find her because I can't go to her family and I'm pretty sure she's already changed her number!<br /> I didn't warrant Michael a response since the Uber pulled up, I hopped in and left.<br /> My phone began vibrating in my pocket and I grabbed it quickly, just hoping it would be Kayan. I was disappointed as Dimitri's name flashed on the screen.<br /> "What do you want Dimitri? Haven't we done enough, didn't you hear what your father said?" I shouted angrily, catching sight of the driver's raised brows in the rear view mirror.<br /> "Calm down Mari, I wanted to apologize for my Dad. I'm getting discharged now so I'm heading home, I need to sort things out with Kay." Though I had wanted the same thing minutes ago, I couldn't help the pang of jealousy that gripped me.<br /> Before I could stop myself I snarled in response<br /> "Thanks for asking how I'm doing you prick! Oh and don't bother going there because she's gone!"<br /> "What are you talking about Mari! This is not the time to joke with me..." I'd had enough of his nonsense so I cut him mid sentence " Kay's gone Dimitri, I just left the house, she's not home and her neighbor says she left for England." The other end of the line was silent.<br /> I looked at the screen to see if the call had been disconnected but the line was still open.<br /> "Dimitri?" He sighed in response and I heard him grunt in pain, perhaps moving too quickly on his injured leg.<br /> "I'm here Mari. How will I fix things if I don't know where to find her? Of all the places, she had to chose England!? Couldn't she have just gone to her parents? What am I going to do now?"<br /> I wanted to speak but my throat felt as if it was clogged.<br /> I cut the call, switched to airplane mode and rested my head against the window as fresh salty tears rolled down my cheeks.<br /> I lost everything.<br /> My best friend. Dimitri .

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 whore'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?" | Guin114 | 4 | https://facebook.com/61554763532327 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

My dad is really mad at you and Raven being mates." Twin sister Reagan said to my mate.<br /> "I don't mind rejecting her, but I would have been embarrassed to face my mate" Justin said.<br /> "My father has decided to appoint me as his future Alpha not my sister Raven. So, I will be your luna." Reagan said to Justin.<br /> ******** <br /> I silently run through the woods letting my wolf Emerald out tonight. She has been anxious all day, well really the last few days, and I could tell that she needed to come out for a run. <br /> Alpha Cole Walker is the Alpha of the Blood Walker pack. He is said to be one of the most dangerous Alphas in the United States. It is said that he would hurt anyone who dared to enter his pack uninvited. Due to this fact, most of our pack members studiously avoid this area altogether.<br /> My twin sister, Reagan, is the golden child of the pack. They all love her unconditionally. She is cherished and appreciated, no matter what she does. They all seem to ignore the fact that she is a horrible and mean she-wolf. I was born first, and with that should come the respect that after I find my mate, I will officially be the Luna here, and he will take over as the Alpha of the pack. Yet they all treat her as the next Luna. <br /> My sister and I are the only children that our parents had. The Goddess never blessed them with another child, even though they tried for years. My father, Alpha Graham Sullivan, is very strict with me. I am not allowed to leave my room other than to eat my meals and then return back to my room again. I am also not allowed to leave our pack for any reason. I have never even crossed the border of the Sliver Blade pack in my life. <br /> I was the Alpha's daughter, but I was not a valued member of this pack. Telling on me has always resulted in a bonus for whoever told on me to my father. I have had to learn how to overcome this on my own. It has made me very independent over the years, as well as a very good climber. I use the tree outside my window at the pack house, to climb up and down to get in and out of my room.<br /> From my vantage point, I can see who is coming now and rolled my eyes so hard I almost saw my brain. It was Reagan, and she was pulling the arm of a pretty large guy, as she headed toward the grassy bank near my tree. I realized right this moment that I have picked a terrible place to hide. I should have doubled back and then climbed in my window to my room and I would have been safe and sound in my room. Reagan is clearly out with one of her many men, as she was allowed to stay out and do whatever she wanted to. I mean how else could she beat me to finding her mate if she didn't flirt with all the unmated men in our pack? I rolled my eyes again and then froze when I looked at them again and got a good look at his face.<br /> That smell coming off of him was starting to drive me wild, he smelled like freshly baked cinnamon buns, and I was now pissed off. She had come here with the guy that I had a crush on, someone with whom she had never shown any interest in before. It was our Beta's son and the guy that I have had a crush on for the last year and a half.<br /> "No, don't stop them, Raven, she has already been dating with him for the last few months. This is not the first time, it has been well before he returned to the pack earlier this week. They are together now, dating, and they have both vowed to reject their actual mates to stay together to take over and run this pack. Please, just try to bear it, I will help you get through it. I am glad that you are in a secure location, this may make you pass out" Emerald linked me, and I felt physically sick.<br /> "How do you know this? Did she know that he is my mate? Why can't I approach him? Maybe he wants me, Emerald. Please let me stop this. He might not know that I am his mate, he may still want me, want US! I don't want to lose him, Emerald. He may not be aware his true mate is here. Can't he already smell our scent up here, like I smelled his scent? Are you sure that this is the only way? Please Emerald" I linked her back, and I feel the tears that are already sliding down my face. I have questions, and I need answers.<br /> I am frustrated. I don't want to give up on my true mate. He doesn't even know that I am here, and I do want him. I don't want to give him up, especially not to my sister Reagan. I don't know if I can survive this level of betrayal.<br /> "I can't wait for mom and dad to announce to the pack that we will be the Alpha and Luna tomorrow. This is something that I have really wanted for the last 8 years. I am so glad you decided that we could be chosen mates. " My sister says to my mate.<br /> "Besides, I am also glad that you are willing to lead the Silver Blade pack with me. I have a feeling that my freak of a sister who keeps staring at you is going to be crushed when she finds out that we are together. You dodged by deciding to accept me as your chosen mate. I know that she has a crush on you, so she would probably try to ask you out or something when she sees that you are back from break." She adds.<br /> "I think we will be so happy together. Raven will be so angry when she finds out that we planned this months ago. I cannot wait for her to find out. I even told mom to have her sit on the front row for the pack meeting tomorrow, so I can see her face when dad makes the announcement. I am going to put her next to you so it will hurt her more when dad calls you up on stage. When she realizes that her crush is going to be my mate, she is going to be so jealous of me. I am so going to get a picture of her face when she finds out, as I will want to remember that moment for a long time" I heard Reagan say to him, and I was so choked up I couldn't hold in the sob of pain that managed to escape.<br /> It wasn't loud, but with werewolf hearing, it was loud enough. I just stayed completely still and prayed that they hadn't heard me, but Justin started talking when my sob escaped, and they had no reaction, so I think I am safe.<br /> "I have always thought that you were a she-wolf, Reagan. I am so glad that you came up to my training with your offer, and for us to get extra special time together. If Raven were allowed to move around the pack, I don't think that she would be missing the fact that she is my mate. I scented her today when I got back to the pack and confirmed she is my mate. Per our agreement, I don't mind rejecting her, as I am clearly getting the better sister out of this deal. I would have been embarrassed to have to call that freak of nature my mate" Justin said, and with it, my heart was completely crushed.<br /> These two evil people deserved each other, and I will not waste another tear on his betrayal. He "chose" her, so he can keep her. She will never be faithful to him, and he will not ever be able to trust that their children are his either. She was just doing this to ensure that they become the next Alpha and Luna. She is what he wanted, so she can have him. I am thoroughly disgusted by both of them, and I will not allow them to make me sad one more day. I had already decided to get out of this horrible pack, and I will not miss the Silver Blade pack for a second. <br /> "She is your mate? Are you serious? Oh, this is the best" Reagan said as she laughed out in joy at hearing this information. "Justin, why haven't you mentioned this to me before?" Reagan continued.<br /> "I just found out about it earlier today as I have been gone for my training for the last 4 months. I caught my mate's scent and followed it so I could go ahead and reject them. I realized it was coming from the Alpha level, and when I went up and it led me straight to her door, it was really faint, but I sensed it. She doesn't even know it yet. I am sure that this information is not going to go over well with your parents. They may be upset when they find out. Are they still going to want us to move forward with our plan? Or are they going to want me and Raven to be mates because we are true mates?" Justin asked Reagan. I have to admit, I was interested in her reply as well, but I already suspected what the answer was going to be.<br /> "Oh no Justin, you will definitely be staying with me. I know dad is really going to get a kick out of you and Raven being mates. Mom might feel a little bad for her, but I think that this is great. I could not be happier that her true mate, will become my chosen mate.<br /> We will rule the Silver Blade pack together, and it will hurt her every day to see us together. It is my pack any way, it was never going to be hers. Maybe if we are lucky since she doesn't have a wolf, she won't be able to scent you, and your rejection might even hurt her when you do it. That would be the best-case scenario for all of us" Reagan said, and I could tell that Justin was a little shocked at how hateful she was. Reagan could tell that Justin was not liking this side of her so she quickly changed her attitude and started cooing at Justin, "She doesn't deserve you, baby, I love you and I want you. Hopefully, you will come to love me too.<br /> I was just worried, I don't want you falling in love with my sister after we have already mated." Reagan said to Justin, looking up at him adoringly through her long lashes. I have to admit, she really knows how to work people to do what she wants them to. Her ability to look innocent and pure is without measure, she could have been an actress.<br /> "Dad hates Raven. He will be very happy about this. He has never loved her since the day that she was born. Mom might be a little upset, but she will get over it. She and dad are chosen mates, she gave up her true mate to become the Luna of the Silver Blade pack. She did it herself, and if it is good enough for her, then it is good enough for me to do it as well. We make the perfect couple. We will have strong pups, and our pack will flourish" Reagan said, and I am stunned. I knew my dad was mean, but to hate me, why? What reason could he possibly have for hating me? My parents have told the whole pack numerous times through the years that they were true mates. They are very affectionate with each other in front of the pack. I didn't even know that they weren't true mates. What else don't I know about them?<br /> "We will do the same thing. You will have to reject Raven first thing in the morning, or after the pack meeting. But you will have to do it where no one else will hear you. Dad is going to tell the pack that we are true mates, so they will fully support us. Dad thinks that it would be a mistake to not have the pack's full support behind us when we go to take it over from my parents" Reagan said, and I am amazed at all the plans that they have kept away from me. Just another thing that shows how much difference there is between Reagan and me. I hear them touching again and wonder when they plan on leaving the area, don't they need to get back to the pack house?<br /> I narrow my eyes at Reagan, as she is ecstatic about getting to truly rub all of my misfortune in right now. Justin is getting the opportunity to reject me, so the situation that we are now in is all positive for them.<br /> "Raven, why are you out of the house? Are you supposed to be out here? Are you OK? That fall looked like it hurt pretty bad" I hear my sister ask me with an innocent look on her face like she cared about me. She was fully aware of how I am kept a prisoner here at the Silver Blade pack. I really have to get out of here. I needed to check and see how badly I am hurt because I don't know if I even have time to go pack a bag now. I may be having to leave here with nothing, but I am OK with that. I just need to get the heck out of here. I will figure out what I need to do after I am safely free of Silver Blade.<br /> "Are you ignoring me, Raven? Are you sure you want to do that to me? Fine then, I will just make sure that you get punished for leaving your room. You are not supposed to be out here anyway. I will just let dad know that you are out here, and he will take care of you" Reagan said with a smirk, and then she started mind linking. <br /> I and my wolf were running away from this pack. But they caught us immediately.<br /> "If you come back here now Raven, I won't punish you for leaving your room without permission" I heard my father tell me. <br /> "Nothing in the world could possess me to do that father," I told him, and I see his eyes glazing over as he goes to link someone. I could care less what they have to say to me, and I turned to walk away. <br /> "You will get punishment in the Blood Walker pack. You know how dangerous they are Raven, you have heard this fact for your whole life. They cannot be trusted, and you are now a rogue. We have told you, and the whole pack, exactly what happens to those who trespass on their land. The moment they scent you they will move in, and you will die today. Is that what you want? Do you want to die? I will get you more freedom in the pack. I will allow you to go to the library every day instead of once a week. How does that sound?" my mother's voice is calming and comforting. She has never before sounded as nice as this, and I know that dad put her up to try to lure me back into the Siler Blade pack. They must be desperate to do it, so I want to see how far they intended to go with it.<br /> "Let me ask you this mother. Was the plan to get Justin to take Reagan as a chosen mate her idea, or dad's?" I asked her. Mom is not a very good liar. I can see her expression as we are only about 20 feet apart from each other right now. <br /> "I don't know what you are talking about Raven, they are mates," my mom said to me, and now I smirk at her. Clearly, mom was keeping me out of the loop and doesn't know that I know for a fact that they aren't.<br /> "Thanks for always lying to me mom. That makes it so much easier on me. I will not be coming back to the Silver Blade pack. This is the last time, Goddess willing, that you all will probably see me and actually I am welcoming the death that is coming to me. It will be better than the life I have lived since Reagan tried to hurt me, and my own dad called me a liar when I told him what actually happened. Justin is not her mate mom, and I know this because he is MY mate. It is disgusting what all you three have done to me and allowed to be done to me my whole life. I never deserved to be treated the way I was. I can only hope that I can find my way and get to live a life that allows me to find someone who loves me and realizes that I am a good person. I don't think that is too much to ask for, do you mom? It seems like you and dad are willing to do anything to get me to come back over the fence, but we both know that if I did come back, I would either immediately be thrown in the cells. So, I will take my chances over here, where at least I have a chance" I told them and turned again to leave. I only made it a few steps before I was stopped again by my father's hateful words.<br /> "You are ungrateful daughter, How do you have the nerve to say that to me? I have clothed and fed you, provided you a room, and let you go to school. I did take care of you, and it is disgusting to see how you repay me. Lying about Justin being your mate. Trying to take your sister's mate away from her. I know that I can speak for your mother as well as myself when I say that we hope the Blood Walker pack disposes of you quickly. I only wish I could punish you myself" my dad roared out, and the hate was coming off of him in waves.<br /> "You disgust me father," I told him and the tone I used to draw out the word father let him know just how little I thought of him being my father. "I have never done anything to cause a problem or disruption in the pack, or in the family. I did what I was told this whole time. Even as knowing that you let the whole pack know that I was fair game if they wanted to hurt me, and they did dad, over and over again. You know what, it was my family that really took the award for the most torment. Your unwarranted hate, mom never supporting me, and my sister allowed to try to hurt me, and incite others up against me made me realize that life will be much better on this side of the border than it was on that side. Even if I only live an hour more, it would be better than the years I spent over there."<br /> I wiped off my tears and walked past them, suddenly, I hear something coming to meโฆ<br /> <br /> <br /> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><br /> Wanna listen more? download our App and check more!

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." | ForFun-120 | 72 | https://facebook.com/61554751622817 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Kayan<br /> I was betrayed by two people I trusted implicitly, my best friend and my fiancรฉ, or so i thought.<br /> Without saying a word, I bent down and picked up my phone. By this time Dimitri had donned his boxers and his slim fit navy dress pants. Mariana on the other hand was gripping the white sheet, trying to cover her body and was sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> Normally her tears would have stirred some sort of emotion but I felt absolutely nothing looking at her.<br /> Dimitri stepped towards me with his outstretched hand but I stepped back, and when I spoke my own voice surprised me.<br /> Two words, " How long?". I stared at both of them expectantly. Dimitri sighed and rubbed his face, looking at me with regret.<br /> When no response was forthcoming from him, I turned to Mariana and pinned her with a glare. " Shut up Mariana! I asked a question and I need an answer now!" I shouted.<br /> She pulled her knees to her chest as her body shook in fear, she had only seen me angry once so she knew not to taunt me. Dimitri on the other hand, was stunned.<br /> She looked at me and stuttered in fear " S....si...six months", and hung her head low. I absorbed her reply, laughed hysterically, which caught both of them by surprise. They looked at each other shrugging their shoulders and just as I started laughing suddenly, I stopped abruptly.<br /> "Six months you say? I guess this is the part where you'll say it was a mistake, you never meant to hurt me and you're both sorry right?." I spoke calmly, surprising myself.<br /> Dimitri was first to speak " Kay, please I'm so sorry. We were both tipsy after your work anniversary party,and after I dropped her off, everything went to terrible. I'm so sorry baby but..." I laughed again, cutting him off mid sentence.<br /> I held my hand up then turned to Mariana" What about you bimbo, any last words?" Her eyes bulged in fear and I watched her squirm in fear. She knew I could put a bullet between her eyes even with my eyes closed , thanks to my Dad taking me to the pistol range every Saturday for 2 years.<br /> She sprung to her knees, the sheet fell exposing her and I saw all the hickeys along her neck and on her breasts. "Kay please, let's talk about this. I'm so sorry and I regret this. I'm so sorry for hurting you like this, it wasn't planned."<br /> The nerve of this woman, I thought. I should have listened to my gut all those months ago. She kept thwarting our plans, started traveling a lot and would barely take my video calls then. And she kept changing or bashing my wedding plans and like a fool, I brushed it aside.<br /> Dimitri was the same, one business trip after another, late nights and then he was distant. When I asked him about it, he promised to do better than what he did, but there was a subtle change. We no longer have sleep.<br /> Both of them looked at me expectantly, waiting for the weak, docile Kayan to shed tears and assure them everything would be okay.<br /> I dropped my phone into my bag, grabbed my pistol and clicked the safety off. I swiftly fired two rounds which were followed by agonizing screams. I shot Dimitri in his thigh just inches from his shaft while Mariana got hers in her right shoulder. Just enough to cause pain but not be fatal.<br /> I walked out the room but turned to them saying " That's for the betrayal, I never want to see or hear from either of you again. The next time you won't be so lucky."<br /> I descended the stairs shakily, I touched my face checking for tears but there were none. My chest was convulsing but I refused to give in to the pain I was feeling.<br /> As I got to the last step, I looked around, marched over to the fireplace and threw all photos she had of us together into it. I lifted the stoker, broke her 60" Samsung TV and everything went red from thereon. I trashed her apartment then walked out as if nothing happened.<br /> I grabbed my baseball bat from my trunk, smashed all her windows and doors. Just as I about to leave, I saw Dimitri's Silver Range Rover across the street.<br /> How didn't I notice it before?<br /> I walked up to it and repeated my actions. When I was satisfied, I hopped into my van and drove away.<br /> ---- <br /> Dimitri<br /> I couldn't believe Kayan shot us and simply walked away. I had known her for over 6 years but I never encountered this side of her. I knew I deserved that, worst of all, I ruined the one good thing I had done.<br /> I was thinking with my shaft and not my brain, because in assessing the current situation, Mariana was just a good woman. There is attraction, but the feelings I have for Kayan are deeper.<br /> Her sobs reverberated around the bedroom , bringing me back to the current situation.<br /> When Kayan left the room, I heard her trashing Mariana's apartment downstairs and was about to go after her.<br /> Mariana's words stopped me dead in my tracks, "Leave her be, Dimitri, she will kill you! She needs to calm down first before we approach her." I turned to her slowly, trying to ignore the pain and blood gushing from my wound.<br /> "What do you mean Mari? I'm going after her! There is no us. This was a mistake. I need to talk to her!" I ran my hands over my face then slid my belt around my leg making a tourniquet.<br /> She slid off the bed, gripping the sheet with her uninjured shoulder. " Take it from me, we're lucky to be alive! You have never seen her upset or know what she's capable of in this state but I do!" She tiptoed to the door listening for any further sound from downstairs, but was greeted with silence.<br /> Mariana sat on the stairs shaking and crying while gripping her disheveled hair.<br /> The front door was ajar, I moved to lock it but the sight of Mariana's car took my breath away. I looked across the street to mine and it looked even worst.<br /> I shook my head, sighed and turned too quickly, causing a searing pain in the bullet wound.<br /> I called my driver Michael and told him to be quick and discreet.<br /> Mariana got dressed in the meantime while we waited with bated breaths.<br /> Michael arrived in about 10 minutes, his eyes expressed shock but he knew better than to ask any questions.<br /> He drove us to Wyckoff Medical, the only place I knew would be discreet about what happened.<br /> Using the back entrance, we were quickly ushered into separate rooms for assessment.<br /> As I laid on the bed, I felt Dr. Green prodding my wound for the bullet. He's been our family physician since I was a child, so when he asked who I pissed off this time , I sighed and ignored him.<br /> All I could think about was Kayan, she was my everything!<br /> Not anymore you prick, you screwed up and you're lucky to be alive, I shook my head, trying to shake guilt ridden thoughts from my subconscious.<br /> I reminisced on all the times we spent together, the plans we made for our future and our kids. I reflected on how she supported me even when my own father doubted me. She never gave up on me. You shut up Dimitri!<br /> Dr. Green waved his hand above my eyes while calling my name. " Did you hear anything I said just now?" he asked quietly.<br /> I sighed " No, what is it?". My tone was clipped but right now I didn't care, I could apologize later.<br /> He rolled his eyes before continuing "I said there's a detective waiting outside to talk to you, you know it's my duty to report this." He grabbed a scissors and cut the thread, signaling that he had finished stitching my wound.<br /> "You'll live, but stay off your feet for a few days, and use a crutch if you have to move around." Dr. Green bandaged my leg and was about to leave when I stopped him.<br /> "Wait, I apologize for my behavior Doc. Where's the young lady who came in with me? I need to see her now." He looked at me sadly, shook his head and left the room without a word.<br /> My guess is he figured out why Kayan hadn't rushed into the hospital demanding answers. The realization hit me of how I not only disappointed Kayan but everyone close to me, especially my parents. <br /> I must have dosed off from the pain medication I had gotten as I was woken up by Mariana gently shaking my shoulder and calling my name.<br /> Blinking my eyes to adjust to the bright lights, I grabbed the remote and adjusted my bed. Mariana looked terrible, her hair was unkempt and her eyes were swollen. Her right arm was bandaged and now in a sling.<br /> She sat in the chair beside the bed and hung her head low. " I spoke to the police, I told them we were mugged at the apartment as we were trying to finalize wedding arrangements." It was barely a whisper, but I sighed in relief.<br /> "We messed up but I agree, I'll tell them the same thing. Kayan doesn't deserve this." My throat felt hoarse so I reached for a tumbler with water, poured a cup and took several sips.<br /> " I told you we needed to stop Dimitri but you insisted on coming over!" I pinned her with a glare which caused her to shut up immediately.<br /> The nerve of this woman! I laughed coldly before turning to her " Oh so now it's my fault Mar? Surely you weren't complaining when I rammed your wet dripping private part with my shaft right? You never said stop! Anything else I'm forgetting?" My chest was heaving by the time I finished ranting.<br /> I was about to continue but her sobs erupted. She looked at me lost, guilt etched across her face before she stood to leave.<br /> "Look Mar, I'm sorry okay. I just don't know what to do." I held her wrist, my thumb caressing the inside of her hand in a comforting way. "How did she get in though?"<br /> Mariana was trembling as tears streamed down her face. She took a deep breath before she spoke. "I forgot she had a key from over a year ago. She would always check the place when I traveled for a convention or went to see my family."<br /> My mouth opened to speak but no words were forthcoming and they never came as the door banged open, slamming into the wall denting it.<br /> Jumping with fright, we turned to see my very pissed off father and my distraught mother. Before I could utter a word, he spoke," You, get out now and don't let me see your face again!" Mariana jumped in fear and ran from the room sobbing before I could stop her.<br /> "Dad i can explain...." He slammed his hand onto the small table, knocking the tumbler over.<br /> My mom grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down but he flicked her hand away and grabbed my hospital gown roughly, "Explain what exactly Dimitri? How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> "I'm going to fix this Dad, just give me a chance please." I turned towards my mom seeking support but she turned her head away from me. " Mom, please I'm sorry, I'll fix this. I'm gonna make everything right."<br /> My Dad simply scoffed at my words, took my Mom's hands and walked out the door.<br /> The only sound that filled the room was that of the water droplets bouncing on the floor.<br /> ---- <br /> Mariana<br /> I have never been more regretful in my entire life. My head was throbbing non stop, my eyes were puffy from all the tears I'd shed in the past 24 hours. My mind replayed the events and all I could think of, was that I should be dead by Kayan's hands.<br /> My driver dropped me off to the apartment, and as I stepped inside I once again surveyed the damage. Nothing was left untouched, I had to start over but I guess that's the price to pay for stabbing your best friend in the back for six months.<br /> I wanted to stop so many times, I knew it was wrong but Dimitri was like a spirit I couldn't get enough of.<br /> We decided to take the secret to our graves and everything was going great until I saw him a week later at Danny's Cafe. We sat and talked for a while but after an hour when we attempted to leave, the sexual tension was just too much to ignore.<br /> From thereon, we used our lunch breaks and any free time we could muster to screw each other senseless. After each encounter, we'd say it was the last time , but that never happened as soon after I took trips when he did or he came to my apartment before going home.<br /> All this time, I gave Kayan a million excuses as to why we couldn't meet up, continued planning her wedding virtually and offered excuses when she whined about Dimitri being overly consumed by work.<br /> I even ended things with my own boyfriend as our relationship became strained and miserable because of my infidelity.<br /> Now this is the endgame, I lost my best friend who always stood by me and I'm pretty sure Dimitri and I have no future.<br /> Sitting on the stairs, I decided to take a leap of faith and call Kayan. If I could just get her to listen to me for a second, I would tell her how sorry I am and try to fix things.<br /> As I dialed her number, it went directly to voice-mail, and after trying a few more times unsuccessfully, I decided to go see her. I ordered an Uber, waiting outside for a few minutes before the car pulled up.<br /> I got in, gave the driver her address and stared blankly out the window. The only sounds were that of the music playing in the dashboard.<br /> Ten minutes later, I was standing on the curb outside Kayan's townhouse. Hesitantly, I opened the gate, trudged up the steps and rang the bell. I was there waiting for a few minutes, I called her but there was no response.<br /> I walked to the garden by the lamp post where she always hid a spare key. It was gone.<br /> Just as I was about to step from the yard, I was stopped in my tracks by a faint voice. My hopes increased but when I turned around expecting Kayan, no one was there.<br /> What was that then, I thought to myself.<br /> I reopened the Uber app, placed my request and waited by the curb.<br /> "She's not here you know." I was startled by the voice and was relieved to see her neighbor Michael.<br /> "What do you mean? Where is she?" I asked hurriedly.<br /> He eyed me suspiciously before replying,<br /> "Seeing you here looking like poop tells me you had a role in Kay's sudden departure 2 hours ago." His words were true yet hurtful, I castedmy eyes down in shame.<br /> "You don't know, Mike, just tell me where she went, I need to talk to her before it's too late" I begged him.<br /> The prick was nonchalant as he leant against her gate typing away on his phone. After getting a ping, indicating a message, he looked up at me smirking.<br /> "Well if you must know, my girl left for England indefinitely..." he paused, struggling to hold back a snicker, "...Oh and she says you should go yourself or Dimatro, whatever the pretty boy's name is." Michael was now clutching his side laughing hysterically while I sighed in defeat.<br /> She's gone! And now there's no way I will find her because I can't go to her family and I'm pretty sure she's already changed her number!<br /> I didn't warrant Michael a response since the Uber pulled up, I hopped in and left.<br /> My phone began vibrating in my pocket and I grabbed it quickly, just hoping it would be Kayan. I was disappointed as Dimitri's name flashed on the screen.<br /> "What do you want Dimitri? Haven't we done enough, didn't you hear what your father said?" I shouted angrily, catching sight of the driver's raised brows in the rear view mirror.<br /> "Calm down Mari, I wanted to apologize for my Dad. I'm getting discharged now so I'm heading home, I need to sort things out with Kay." Though I had wanted the same thing minutes ago, I couldn't help the pang of jealousy that gripped me.<br /> Before I could stop myself I snarled in response<br /> "Thanks for asking how I'm doing you prick! Oh and don't bother going there because she's gone!"<br /> "What are you talking about Mari! This is not the time to joke with me..." I'd had enough of his nonsense so I cut him mid sentence " Kay's gone Dimitri, I just left the house, she's not home and her neighbor says she left for England." The other end of the line was silent.<br /> I looked at the screen to see if the call had been disconnected but the line was still open.<br /> "Dimitri?" He sighed in response and I heard him grunt in pain, perhaps moving too quickly on his injured leg.<br /> "I'm here Mari. How will I fix things if I don't know where to find her? Of all the places, she had to chose England!? Couldn't she have just gone to her parents? What am I going to do now?"<br /> I wanted to speak but my throat felt as if it was clogged.<br /> I cut the call, switched to airplane mode and rested my head against the window as fresh salty tears rolled down my cheeks.<br /> I lost everything.<br /> My best friend. Dimitri . And a family who accepted me without judgement and showed me nothing but love all these years. | Wha002 | 29 | https://facebook.com/61554783541379 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

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. 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?" | Guin112 | 20 | https://facebook.com/61554651037723 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Kayan<br /> I was betrayed by two people I trusted implicitly, my best friend and my fiancรฉ, or so i thought.<br /> Without saying a word, I bent down and picked up my phone. By this time Dimitri had donned his boxers and his slim fit navy dress pants. Mariana on the other hand was gripping the white sheet, trying to cover her body and was sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> Normally her tears would have stirred some sort of emotion but I felt absolutely nothing looking at her.<br /> Dimitri stepped towards me with his outstretched hand but I stepped back, and when I spoke my own voice surprised me.<br /> Two words, " How long?". I stared at both of them expectantly. Dimitri sighed and rubbed his face, looking at me with regret.<br /> When no response was forthcoming from him, I turned to Mariana and pinned her with a glare. " Shut up Mariana! I asked a question and I need an answer now!" I shouted.<br /> She pulled her knees to her chest as her body shook in fear, she had only seen me angry once so she knew not to taunt me. Dimitri on the other hand, was stunned.<br /> She looked at me and stuttered in fear " S....si...six months", and hung her head low. I absorbed her reply, laughed hysterically, which caught both of them by surprise. They looked at each other shrugging their shoulders and just as I started laughing suddenly, I stopped abruptly.<br /> "Six months you say? I guess this is the part where you'll say it was a mistake, you never meant to hurt me and you're both sorry right?." I spoke calmly, surprising myself.<br /> Dimitri was first to speak " Kay, please I'm so sorry. We were both tipsy after your work anniversary party,and after I dropped her off, everything went to terrible. I'm so sorry baby but..." I laughed again, cutting him off mid sentence.<br /> I held my hand up then turned to Mariana" What about you bimbo, any last words?" Her eyes bulged in fear and I watched her squirm in fear. She knew I could put a bullet between her eyes even with my eyes closed , thanks to my Dad taking me to the pistol range every Saturday for 2 years.<br /> She sprung to her knees, the sheet fell exposing her and I saw all the hickeys along her neck and on her breasts. "Kay please, let's talk about this. I'm so sorry and I regret this. I'm so sorry for hurting you like this, it wasn't planned."<br /> The nerve of this woman, I thought. I should have listened to my gut all those months ago. She kept thwarting our plans, started traveling a lot and would barely take my video calls then. And she kept changing or bashing my wedding plans and like a fool, I brushed it aside.<br /> Dimitri was the same, one business trip after another, late nights and then he was distant. When I asked him about it, he promised to do better than what he did, but there was a subtle change. We no longer have sleep.<br /> Both of them looked at me expectantly, waiting for the weak, docile Kayan to shed tears and assure them everything would be okay.<br /> I dropped my phone into my bag, grabbed my pistol and clicked the safety off. I swiftly fired two rounds which were followed by agonizing screams. I shot Dimitri in his thigh just inches from his shaft while Mariana got hers in her right shoulder. Just enough to cause pain but not be fatal.<br /> I walked out the room but turned to them saying " That's for the betrayal, I never want to see or hear from either of you again. The next time you won't be so lucky."<br /> I descended the stairs shakily, I touched my face checking for tears but there were none. My chest was convulsing but I refused to give in to the pain I was feeling.<br /> As I got to the last step, I looked around, marched over to the fireplace and threw all photos she had of us together into it. I lifted the stoker, broke her 60" Samsung TV and everything went red from thereon. I trashed her apartment then walked out as if nothing happened.<br /> I grabbed my baseball bat from my trunk, smashed all her windows and doors. Just as I about to leave, I saw Dimitri's Silver Range Rover across the street.<br /> How didn't I notice it before?<br /> I walked up to it and repeated my actions. When I was satisfied, I hopped into my van and drove away.<br /> ---- <br /> Dimitri<br /> I couldn't believe Kayan shot us and simply walked away. I had known her for over 6 years but I never encountered this side of her. I knew I deserved that, worst of all, I ruined the one good thing I had done.<br /> I was thinking with my shaft and not my brain, because in assessing the current situation, Mariana was just a good woman. There is attraction, but the feelings I have for Kayan are deeper.<br /> Her sobs reverberated around the bedroom , bringing me back to the current situation.<br /> When Kayan left the room, I heard her trashing Mariana's apartment downstairs and was about to go after her.<br /> Mariana's words stopped me dead in my tracks, "Leave her be, Dimitri, she will kill you! She needs to calm down first before we approach her." I turned to her slowly, trying to ignore the pain and blood gushing from my wound.<br /> "What do you mean Mari? I'm going after her! There is no us. This was a mistake. I need to talk to her!" I ran my hands over my face then slid my belt around my leg making a tourniquet.<br /> She slid off the bed, gripping the sheet with her uninjured shoulder. " Take it from me, we're lucky to be alive! You have never seen her upset or know what she's capable of in this state but I do!" She tiptoed to the door listening for any further sound from downstairs, but was greeted with silence.<br /> Mariana sat on the stairs shaking and crying while gripping her disheveled hair.<br /> The front door was ajar, I moved to lock it but the sight of Mariana's car took my breath away. I looked across the street to mine and it looked even worst.<br /> I shook my head, sighed and turned too quickly, causing a searing pain in the bullet wound.<br /> I called my driver Michael and told him to be quick and discreet.<br /> Mariana got dressed in the meantime while we waited with bated breaths.<br /> Michael arrived in about 10 minutes, his eyes expressed shock but he knew better than to ask any questions.<br /> He drove us to Wyckoff Medical, the only place I knew would be discreet about what happened.<br /> Using the back entrance, we were quickly ushered into separate rooms for assessment.<br /> As I laid on the bed, I felt Dr. Green prodding my wound for the bullet. He's been our family physician since I was a child, so when he asked who I pissed off this time , I sighed and ignored him.<br /> All I could think about was Kayan, she was my everything!<br /> Not anymore you prick, you screwed up and you're lucky to be alive, I shook my head, trying to shake guilt ridden thoughts from my subconscious.<br /> I reminisced on all the times we spent together, the plans we made for our future and our kids. I reflected on how she supported me even when my own father doubted me. She never gave up on me. You shut up Dimitri!<br /> Dr. Green waved his hand above my eyes while calling my name. " Did you hear anything I said just now?" he asked quietly.<br /> I sighed " No, what is it?". My tone was clipped but right now I didn't care, I could apologize later.<br /> He rolled his eyes before continuing "I said there's a detective waiting outside to talk to you, you know it's my duty to report this." He grabbed a scissors and cut the thread, signaling that he had finished stitching my wound.<br /> "You'll live, but stay off your feet for a few days, and use a crutch if you have to move around." Dr. Green bandaged my leg and was about to leave when I stopped him.<br /> "Wait, I apologize for my behavior Doc. Where's the young lady who came in with me? I need to see her now." He looked at me sadly, shook his head and left the room without a word.<br /> My guess is he figured out why Kayan hadn't rushed into the hospital demanding answers. The realization hit me of how I not only disappointed Kayan but everyone close to me, especially my parents. <br /> I must have dosed off from the pain medication I had gotten as I was woken up by Mariana gently shaking my shoulder and calling my name.<br /> Blinking my eyes to adjust to the bright lights, I grabbed the remote and adjusted my bed. Mariana looked terrible, her hair was unkempt and her eyes were swollen. Her right arm was bandaged and now in a sling.<br /> She sat in the chair beside the bed and hung her head low. " I spoke to the police, I told them we were mugged at the apartment as we were trying to finalize wedding arrangements." It was barely a whisper, but I sighed in relief.<br /> "We messed up but I agree, I'll tell them the same thing. Kayan doesn't deserve this." My throat felt hoarse so I reached for a tumbler with water, poured a cup and took several sips.<br /> " I told you we needed to stop Dimitri but you insisted on coming over!" I pinned her with a glare which caused her to shut up immediately.<br /> The nerve of this woman! I laughed coldly before turning to her " Oh so now it's my fault Mar? Surely you weren't complaining when I rammed your wet dripping private part with my shaft right? You never said stop! Anything else I'm forgetting?" My chest was heaving by the time I finished ranting.<br /> I was about to continue but her sobs erupted. She looked at me lost, guilt etched across her face before she stood to leave.<br /> "Look Mar, I'm sorry okay. I just don't know what to do." I held her wrist, my thumb caressing the inside of her hand in a comforting way. "How did she get in though?"<br /> Mariana was trembling as tears streamed down her face. She took a deep breath before she spoke. "I forgot she had a key from over a year ago. She would always check the place when I traveled for a convention or went to see my family."<br /> My mouth opened to speak but no words were forthcoming and they never came as the door banged open, slamming into the wall denting it.<br /> Jumping with fright, we turned to see my very pissed off father and my distraught mother. Before I could utter a word, he spoke," You, get out now and don't let me see your face again!" Mariana jumped in fear and ran from the room sobbing before I could stop her.<br /> "Dad i can explain...." He slammed his hand onto the small table, knocking the tumbler over.<br /> My mom grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down but he flicked her hand away and grabbed my hospital gown roughly, "Explain what exactly Dimitri? How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> "I'm going to fix this Dad, just give me a chance please." I turned towards my mom seeking support but she turned her head away from me. " Mom, please I'm sorry, I'll fix this. I'm gonna make everything right."<br /> My Dad simply scoffed at my words, took my Mom's hands and walked out the door.<br /> The only sound that filled the room was that of the water droplets bouncing on the floor.<br /> ---- <br /> Mariana<br /> I have never been more regretful in my entire life. My head was throbbing non stop, my eyes were puffy from all the tears I'd shed in the past 24 hours. My mind replayed the events and all I could think of, was that I should be dead by Kayan's hands.<br /> My driver dropped me off to the apartment, and as I stepped inside I once again surveyed the damage. Nothing was left untouched, I had to start over but I guess that's the price to pay for stabbing your best friend in the back for six months.<br /> I wanted to stop so many times, I knew it was wrong but Dimitri was like a spirit I couldn't get enough of.<br /> We decided to take the secret to our graves and everything was going great until I saw him a week later at Danny's Cafe. We sat and talked for a while but after an hour when we attempted to leave, the sexual tension was just too much to ignore.<br /> From thereon, we used our lunch breaks and any free time we could muster to screw each other senseless. After each encounter, we'd say it was the last time , but that never happened as soon after I took trips when he did or he came to my apartment before going home.<br /> All this time, I gave Kayan a million excuses as to why we couldn't meet up, continued planning her wedding virtually and offered excuses when she whined about Dimitri being overly consumed by work.<br /> I even ended things with my own boyfriend as our relationship became strained and miserable because of my infidelity.<br /> Now this is the endgame, I lost my best friend who always stood by me and I'm pretty sure Dimitri and I have no future.<br /> Sitting on the stairs, I decided to take a leap of faith and call Kayan. If I could just get her to listen to me for a second, I would tell her how sorry I am and try to fix things.<br /> As I dialed her number, it went directly to voice-mail, and after trying a few more times unsuccessfully, I decided to go see her. I ordered an Uber, waiting outside for a few minutes before the car pulled up.<br /> I got in, gave the driver her address and stared blankly out the window. The only sounds were that of the music playing in the dashboard.<br /> Ten minutes later, I was standing on the curb outside Kayan's townhouse. Hesitantly, I opened the gate, trudged up the steps and rang the bell. I was there waiting for a few minutes, I called her but there was no response.<br /> I walked to the garden by the lamp post where she always hid a spare key. It was gone.<br /> Just as I was about to step from the yard, I was stopped in my tracks by a faint voice. My hopes increased but when I turned around expecting Kayan, no one was there.<br /> What was that then, I thought to myself.<br /> I reopened the Uber app, placed my request and waited by the curb.<br /> "She's not here you know." I was startled by the voice and was relieved to see her neighbor Michael.<br /> "What do you mean? Where is she?" I asked hurriedly.<br /> He eyed me suspiciously before replying,<br /> "Seeing you here looking like poop tells me you had a role in Kay's sudden departure 2 hours ago." His words were true yet hurtful, I castedmy eyes down in shame.<br /> "You don't know, Mike, just tell me where she went, I need to talk to her before it's too late" I begged him.<br /> The prick was nonchalant as he leant against her gate typing away on his phone. After getting a ping, indicating a message, he looked up at me smirking.<br /> "Well if you must know, my girl left for England indefinitely..." he paused, struggling to hold back a snicker, "...Oh and she says you should go yourself or Dimatro, whatever the pretty boy's name is." Michael was now clutching his side laughing hysterically while I sighed in defeat.<br /> She's gone! And now there's no way I will find her because I can't go to her family and I'm pretty sure she's already changed her number!<br /> I didn't warrant Michael a response since the Uber pulled up, I hopped in and left.<br /> My phone began vibrating in my pocket and I grabbed it quickly, just hoping it would be Kayan. I was disappointed as Dimitri's name flashed on the screen.<br /> "What do you want Dimitri? Haven't we done enough, didn't you hear what your father said?" I shouted angrily, catching sight of the driver's raised brows in the rear view mirror.<br /> "Calm down Mari, I wanted to apologize for my Dad. I'm getting discharged now so I'm heading home, I need to sort things out with Kay." Though I had wanted the same thing minutes ago, I couldn't help the pang of jealousy that gripped me.<br /> Before I could stop myself I snarled in response<br /> "Thanks for asking how I'm doing you prick! Oh and don't bother going there because she's gone!"<br /> "What are you talking about Mari! This is not the time to joke with me..." I'd had enough of his nonsense so I cut him mid sentence " Kay's gone Dimitri, I just left the house, she's not home and her neighbor says she left for England." The other end of the line was silent.<br /> I looked at the screen to see if the call had been disconnected but the line was still open.<br /> "Dimitri?" He sighed in response and I heard him grunt in pain, perhaps moving too quickly on his injured leg.<br /> "I'm here Mari. How will I fix things if I don't know where to find her? Of all the places, she had to chose England!? Couldn't she have just gone to her parents? What am I going to do now?"<br /> I wanted to speak but my throat felt as if it was clogged.<br /> I cut the call, switched to airplane mode and rested my head against the window as fresh salty tears rolled down my cheeks.<br /> I lost everything.<br /> My best friend. Dimitri . And a family who accepted me without judgement and showed me nothing but love all these years. | Wha002 | 29 | https://facebook.com/61554783541379 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

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. 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.

How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Kayan<br /> I was betrayed by two people I trusted implicitly, my best friend and my fiancรฉ, or so i thought.<br /> Without saying a word, I bent down and picked up my phone. By this time Dimitri had donned his boxers and his slim fit navy dress pants. Mariana on the other hand was gripping the white sheet, trying to cover her body and was sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> Normally her tears would have stirred some sort of emotion but I felt absolutely nothing looking at her.<br /> Dimitri stepped towards me with his outstretched hand but I stepped back, and when I spoke my own voice surprised me.<br /> Two words, " How long?". I stared at both of them expectantly. Dimitri sighed and rubbed his face, looking at me with regret.<br /> When no response was forthcoming from him, I turned to Mariana and pinned her with a glare. " Shut up Mariana! I asked a question and I need an answer now!" I shouted.<br /> She pulled her knees to her chest as her body shook in fear, she had only seen me angry once so she knew not to taunt me. Dimitri on the other hand, was stunned.<br /> She looked at me and stuttered in fear " S....si...six months", and hung her head low. I absorbed her reply, laughed hysterically, which caught both of them by surprise. They looked at each other shrugging their shoulders and just as I started laughing suddenly, I stopped abruptly.<br /> "Six months you say? I guess this is the part where you'll say it was a mistake, you never meant to hurt me and you're both sorry right?." I spoke calmly, surprising myself.<br /> Dimitri was first to speak " Kay, please I'm so sorry. We were both tipsy after your work anniversary party,and after I dropped her off, everything went to terrible. I'm so sorry baby but..." I laughed again, cutting him off mid sentence.<br /> I held my hand up then turned to Mariana" What about you bimbo, any last words?" Her eyes bulged in fear and I watched her squirm in fear. She knew I could put a bullet between her eyes even with my eyes closed , thanks to my Dad taking me to the pistol range every Saturday for 2 years.<br /> She sprung to her knees, the sheet fell exposing her and I saw all the hickeys along her neck and on her breasts. "Kay please, let's talk about this. I'm so sorry and I regret this. I'm so sorry for hurting you like this, it wasn't planned."<br /> The nerve of this woman, I thought. I should have listened to my gut all those months ago. She kept thwarting our plans, started traveling a lot and would barely take my video calls then. And she kept changing or bashing my wedding plans and like a fool, I brushed it aside.<br /> Dimitri was the same, one business trip after another, late nights and then he was distant. When I asked him about it, he promised to do better than what he did, but there was a subtle change. We no longer have sleep.<br /> Both of them looked at me expectantly, waiting for the weak, docile Kayan to shed tears and assure them everything would be okay.<br /> I dropped my phone into my bag, grabbed my pistol and clicked the safety off. I swiftly fired two rounds which were followed by agonizing screams. I shot Dimitri in his thigh just inches from his shaft while Mariana got hers in her right shoulder. Just enough to cause pain but not be fatal.<br /> I walked out the room but turned to them saying " That's for the betrayal, I never want to see or hear from either of you again. The next time you won't be so lucky."<br /> I descended the stairs shakily, I touched my face checking for tears but there were none. My chest was convulsing but I refused to give in to the pain I was feeling.<br /> As I got to the last step, I looked around, marched over to the fireplace and threw all photos she had of us together into it. I lifted the stoker, broke her 60" Samsung TV and everything went red from thereon. I trashed her apartment then walked out as if nothing happened.<br /> I grabbed my baseball bat from my trunk, smashed all her windows and doors. Just as I about to leave, I saw Dimitri's Silver Range Rover across the street.<br /> How didn't I notice it before?<br /> I walked up to it and repeated my actions. When I was satisfied, I hopped into my van and drove away.<br /> ---- <br /> Dimitri<br /> I couldn't believe Kayan shot us and simply walked away. I had known her for over 6 years but I never encountered this side of her. I knew I deserved that, worst of all, I ruined the one good thing I had done.<br /> I was thinking with my shaft and not my brain, because in assessing the current situation, Mariana was just a good woman. There is attraction, but the feelings I have for Kayan are deeper.<br /> Her sobs reverberated around the bedroom , bringing me back to the current situation.<br /> When Kayan left the room, I heard her trashing Mariana's apartment downstairs and was about to go after her.<br /> Mariana's words stopped me dead in my tracks, "Leave her be, Dimitri, she will kill you! She needs to calm down first before we approach her." I turned to her slowly, trying to ignore the pain and blood gushing from my wound.<br /> "What do you mean Mari? I'm going after her! There is no us. This was a mistake. I need to talk to her!" I ran my hands over my face then slid my belt around my leg making a tourniquet.<br /> She slid off the bed, gripping the sheet with her uninjured shoulder. " Take it from me, we're lucky to be alive! You have never seen her upset or know what she's capable of in this state but I do!" She tiptoed to the door listening for any further sound from downstairs, but was greeted with silence.<br /> Mariana sat on the stairs shaking and crying while gripping her disheveled hair.<br /> The front door was ajar, I moved to lock it but the sight of Mariana's car took my breath away. I looked across the street to mine and it looked even worst.<br /> I shook my head, sighed and turned too quickly, causing a searing pain in the bullet wound.<br /> I called my driver Michael and told him to be quick and discreet.<br /> Mariana got dressed in the meantime while we waited with bated breaths.<br /> Michael arrived in about 10 minutes, his eyes expressed shock but he knew better than to ask any questions.<br /> He drove us to Wyckoff Medical, the only place I knew would be discreet about what happened.<br /> Using the back entrance, we were quickly ushered into separate rooms for assessment.<br /> As I laid on the bed, I felt Dr. Green prodding my wound for the bullet. He's been our family physician since I was a child, so when he asked who I pissed off this time , I sighed and ignored him.<br /> All I could think about was Kayan, she was my everything!<br /> Not anymore you prick, you screwed up and you're lucky to be alive, I shook my head, trying to shake guilt ridden thoughts from my subconscious.<br /> I reminisced on all the times we spent together, the plans we made for our future and our kids. I reflected on how she supported me even when my own father doubted me. She never gave up on me. You shut up Dimitri!<br /> Dr. Green waved his hand above my eyes while calling my name. " Did you hear anything I said just now?" he asked quietly.<br /> I sighed " No, what is it?". My tone was clipped but right now I didn't care, I could apologize later.<br /> He rolled his eyes before continuing "I said there's a detective waiting outside to talk to you, you know it's my duty to report this." He grabbed a scissors and cut the thread, signaling that he had finished stitching my wound.<br /> "You'll live, but stay off your feet for a few days, and use a crutch if you have to move around." Dr. Green bandaged my leg and was about to leave when I stopped him.<br /> "Wait, I apologize for my behavior Doc. Where's the young lady who came in with me? I need to see her now." He looked at me sadly, shook his head and left the room without a word.<br /> My guess is he figured out why Kayan hadn't rushed into the hospital demanding answers. The realization hit me of how I not only disappointed Kayan but everyone close to me, especially my parents. <br /> I must have dosed off from the pain medication I had gotten as I was woken up by Mariana gently shaking my shoulder and calling my name.<br /> Blinking my eyes to adjust to the bright lights, I grabbed the remote and adjusted my bed. Mariana looked terrible, her hair was unkempt and her eyes were swollen. Her right arm was bandaged and now in a sling.<br /> She sat in the chair beside the bed and hung her head low. " I spoke to the police, I told them we were mugged at the apartment as we were trying to finalize wedding arrangements." It was barely a whisper, but I sighed in relief.<br /> "We messed up but I agree, I'll tell them the same thing. Kayan doesn't deserve this." My throat felt hoarse so I reached for a tumbler with water, poured a cup and took several sips.<br /> " I told you we needed to stop Dimitri but you insisted on coming over!" I pinned her with a glare which caused her to shut up immediately.<br /> The nerve of this woman! I laughed coldly before turning to her " Oh so now it's my fault Mar? Surely you weren't complaining when I rammed your wet dripping private part with my shaft right? You never said stop! Anything else I'm forgetting?" My chest was heaving by the time I finished ranting.<br /> I was about to continue but her sobs erupted. She looked at me lost, guilt etched across her face before she stood to leave.<br /> "Look Mar, I'm sorry okay. I just don't know what to do." I held her wrist, my thumb caressing the inside of her hand in a comforting way. "How did she get in though?"<br /> Mariana was trembling as tears streamed down her face. She took a deep breath before she spoke. "I forgot she had a key from over a year ago. She would always check the place when I traveled for a convention or went to see my family."<br /> My mouth opened to speak but no words were forthcoming and they never came as the door banged open, slamming into the wall denting it.<br /> Jumping with fright, we turned to see my very pissed off father and my distraught mother. Before I could utter a word, he spoke," You, get out now and don't let me see your face again!" Mariana jumped in fear and ran from the room sobbing before I could stop her.<br /> "Dad i can explain...." He slammed his hand onto the small table, knocking the tumbler over.<br /> My mom grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down but he flicked her hand away and grabbed my hospital gown roughly, "Explain what exactly Dimitri? How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> "I'm going to fix this Dad, just give me a chance please." I turned towards my mom seeking support but she turned her head away from me. " Mom, please I'm sorry, I'll fix this. I'm gonna make everything right."<br /> My Dad simply scoffed at my words, took my Mom's hands and walked out the door.<br /> The only sound that filled the room was that of the water droplets bouncing on the floor.<br /> ---- <br /> Mariana<br /> I have never been more regretful in my entire life. My head was throbbing non stop, my eyes were puffy from all the tears I'd shed in the past 24 hours. My mind replayed the events and all I could think of, was that I should be dead by Kayan's hands.<br /> My driver dropped me off to the apartment, and as I stepped inside I once again surveyed the damage. Nothing was left untouched, I had to start over but I guess that's the price to pay for stabbing your best friend in the back for six months.<br /> I wanted to stop so many times, I knew it was wrong but Dimitri was like a spirit I couldn't get enough of.<br /> We decided to take the secret to our graves and everything was going great until I saw him a week later at Danny's Cafe. We sat and talked for a while but after an hour when we attempted to leave, the sexual tension was just too much to ignore.<br /> From thereon, we used our lunch breaks and any free time we could muster to screw each other senseless. After each encounter, we'd say it was the last time , but that never happened as soon after I took trips when he did or he came to my apartment before going home.<br /> All this time, I gave Kayan a million excuses as to why we couldn't meet up, continued planning her wedding virtually and offered excuses when she whined about Dimitri being overly consumed by work.<br /> I even ended things with my own boyfriend as our relationship became strained and miserable because of my infidelity.<br /> Now this is the endgame, I lost my best friend who always stood by me and I'm pretty sure Dimitri and I have no future.<br /> Sitting on the stairs, I decided to take a leap of faith and call Kayan. If I could just get her to listen to me for a second, I would tell her how sorry I am and try to fix things.<br /> As I dialed her number, it went directly to voice-mail, and after trying a few more times unsuccessfully, I decided to go see her. I ordered an Uber, waiting outside for a few minutes before the car pulled up.<br /> I got in, gave the driver her address and stared blankly out the window. The only sounds were that of the music playing in the dashboard.<br /> Ten minutes later, I was standing on the curb outside Kayan's townhouse. Hesitantly, I opened the gate, trudged up the steps and rang the bell. I was there waiting for a few minutes, I called her but there was no response.<br /> I walked to the garden by the lamp post where she always hid a spare key. It was gone.<br /> Just as I was about to step from the yard, I was stopped in my tracks by a faint voice. My hopes increased but when I turned around expecting Kayan, no one was there.<br /> What was that then, I thought to myself.<br /> I reopened the Uber app, placed my request and waited by the curb.<br /> "She's not here you know." I was startled by the voice and was relieved to see her neighbor Michael.<br /> "What do you mean? Where is she?" I asked hurriedly.<br /> He eyed me suspiciously before replying,<br /> "Seeing you here looking like poop tells me you had a role in Kay's sudden departure 2 hours ago." His words were true yet hurtful, I castedmy eyes down in shame.<br /> "You don't know, Mike, just tell me where she went, I need to talk to her before it's too late" I begged him.<br /> The prick was nonchalant as he leant against her gate typing away on his phone. After getting a ping, indicating a message, he looked up at me smirking.<br /> "Well if you must know, my girl left for England indefinitely..." he paused, struggling to hold back a snicker, "...Oh and she says you should go yourself or Dimatro, whatever the pretty boy's name is." Michael was now clutching his side laughing hysterically while I sighed in defeat.<br /> She's gone! And now there's no way I will find her because I can't go to her family and I'm pretty sure she's already changed her number!<br /> I didn't warrant Michael a response since the Uber pulled up, I hopped in and left.<br /> My phone began vibrating in my pocket and I grabbed it quickly, just hoping it would be Kayan. I was disappointed as Dimitri's name flashed on the screen.<br /> "What do you want Dimitri? Haven't we done enough, didn't you hear what your father said?" I shouted angrily, catching sight of the driver's raised brows in the rear view mirror.<br /> "Calm down Mari, I wanted to apologize for my Dad. I'm getting discharged now so I'm heading home, I need to sort things out with Kay." Though I had wanted the same thing minutes ago, I couldn't help the pang of jealousy that gripped me.<br /> Before I could stop myself I snarled in response<br /> "Thanks for asking how I'm doing you prick! Oh and don't bother going there because she's gone!"<br /> "What are you talking about Mari! This is not the time to joke with me..." I'd had enough of his nonsense so I cut him mid sentence " Kay's gone Dimitri, I just left the house, she's not home and her neighbor says she left for England." The other end of the line was silent.<br /> I looked at the screen to see if the call had been disconnected but the line was still open.<br /> "Dimitri?" He sighed in response and I heard him grunt in pain, perhaps moving too quickly on his injured leg.<br /> "I'm here Mari. How will I fix things if I don't know where to find her? Of all the places, she had to chose England!? Couldn't she have just gone to her parents? What am I going to do now?"<br /> I wanted to speak but my throat felt as if it was clogged.<br /> I cut the call, switched to airplane mode and rested my head against the window as fresh salty tears rolled down my cheeks.<br /> I lost everything.<br /> My best friend. Dimitri . And a family who accepted me without judgement and showed me nothing but love all these years. | Wha002 | 29 | https://facebook.com/61554783541379 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | 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.

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. 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.

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. | Lov002 | 57 | https://facebook.com/100092720766465 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

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. 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?" | Guin112 | 20 | https://facebook.com/61554651037723 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

And we believe you are someone really special for my older brother, so, we got you the VIP room."<br /> How am I special? <br /> His gentle voice really has a way to make people feel calm and weary at the same time. Why does it look so familiar?<br /> Oh, Moon Goddess.<br /> He's one of the Black brothers! And saying I'm special to his older brother means...<br /> Mate!<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> "Give it to me, I said"<br /> I shake my head, confused.<br /> "I don't have anything, I swear! He didn't give me anything, Alec, he really didn't! You know he gives it all to you!"<br /> He growls in anger, but I keep shaking my head. What is wrong with him? I just got back from work, and he started searching for me, even emptied the content of my bag on the floor, and now he keeps asking me for the money. What money? He knows Robert gives him all of my salaries! I never see a single cent I work so hard for!<br /> Even the customer's tips, Robert just takes it from me as soon as my shift is over! I could never hide any of it! And Moon Goddess knows I wish I could!<br /> "Why do you ask? Do ... Do you have money issues again?" I ask<br /> He glares back at me, furious.<br /> "Again? Isn't that your fault I'm ruined! You are just a waste of money! How can I ever live in peace if I have to use all of my money on you! Can't you work harder? How am I supposed to make it through with this measly paycheck you get?"<br /> I'm astounded by his words. How dare he? I work like a slave all day and night! The Alpha makes me do all the chores for the pack, from cooking to laundry, cleaning the whole house, on my own. And Alec got me this job at the local pub when I was fifteen, making me work those crazy shifts for half of the night! I can only get a few hours of rest at night, and it is never enough.<br /> He, on the other hand, never had a proper job. He is twenty-three, but Alec says he doesn't need a job because he has to focus on the pack, for when he will be chosen as the next Beta. As if that would ever happen. Even I know there is no way my brother will ever get that position. No decent Alpha would ever appoint someone so lazy and self-centered as a beta.<br /> However, my brother is convinced of it. And that only makes me act even more arrogantly and unreasonably. He just spends money whenever he wants and shows off in front of his friends while I have to watch. That money is the one I earn with my sweat, and yet he is the one who spends it. How can he pretend I'm the one he uses it on? I don't own anything but a few clothes! I don't even have a bed, and I have to try and sneak out some leftovers to be able to eat.<br /> So why is it that now he is now interrogating me like I'm some thief?<br /> "Anyway, you will be working tomorrow night."<br /> "What? But I haven't had a day off in weeks! And the Alpha wants me to make dinner, someone from another pack is coming! I will never make it in time if..."<br /> "I don't care! It's your problem, not mine! You will go to work, and I'll kill you if you don't! And the Alpha better not be angry at me because of you!"<br /> I stand there, shocked as he exits the room. What is wrong with him? He has never told me to do anything that might upset the Alpha, and now he wants me to go to work? Either he or the Alpha, one of them will be mad at me!<br /> I take my head in my hands, so lost. What do I do now? The Alpha was so adamant about me preparing all of this diner! Some big shot from the Blood Moon pack is coming, that is big for our pack, he will never forgive me if I don't help him welcome them.<br /> I try to sleep, but I'm too worried.<br /> What is wrong with my brother? I have seen him in need of money, but now, he acts like he has gone crazy! He was even searching in the basement when I came home, looking for any money. When I escaped him, I heard him ask Amber for cash. What kind of trouble did he get into this time? I don't like this.<br /> What will I do tomorrow? I can't do both! My shift starts at four, and the diner has to be ready at nine. Should I do as Vince said and skip work or obey Alec? None of them we let me off.<br /> Vince hates me as well, and never hesitates to beat me. I fear his beating more than I fear my brother's; he is way too strong.<br /> Either way, this won't end well for me.<br /> ---<br /> "I won't go," I say<br /> I'm shaking, but I won't change my mind. Alec stares at me with a furious look. I ignore him. I may be afraid of him, but the Alpha's wrath is even scarier.<br /> "What, did you say you won't go? You just shut up and go already; I am not asking for your opinion! You prick!"<br /> I bite my lip and clench my fist holding the spoon. I try to focus on those appetizers, ignoring the furious eyes of my brother. Alec starts yelling at me, as I expected. I can take his insults.<br /> He slaps me, but I don't care. I ignore the pain and keep making those toasts. A new slap, and one of the appetizers falls on the floor. Don't look at him, don't. Keep going.<br /> "You are gonna go to work right now!" He yells in the kitchen.<br /> No, I won't. I know it's no use talking back, so I don't. Even my wolf is proud of me. She is being fierce, showing her teeth, sharing her strength with me. We won't submit to him.<br /> If I don't make this dinner a success for the Alpha, not only Vince, but the whole pack will be mad at me. I know how merciless the Blood Moon pack can be. That is no joke. Everyone still vividly remembers how they destroyed the Snow Moon Clan two years ago. They didn't just fight them; they killed all of those who didn't pledge allegiance to the Blood Moon emblem.<br /> Compared to that kind of threat, those of my brother are definitely not as fearsome.<br /> He keeps the yelling going, but I ignore him. He slaps me a couple of times, pissed, but that won't work. When he suddenly stops, I raise my head, surprised. The Alpha, Vince, just entered the kitchen.<br /> "What's going on here?" Vince asks. "I can hear you all the way from my office, Alec, keep it down."<br /> "Nothing, Alpha. Just telling this eyesore to work faster..."<br /> "You mind your own business! I need your sister working. Leave her be and stop hindering her work. Do you want to be useful? Go help Greg and Margaret upstairs. And shut up!"<br /> Alec glares at me, but how is it my fault now? He has no choice but to obey and exits the kitchen, towards the stairs. Vince looks at me with disdain and peeks a glance at my work so far. It's not much, but it's not even 4 pm yet, and I know I'm going to be ready on time. Without saying anything, he exits the room. Apparently, he recognizes I've been working diligently and won't get mad. I let out a sigh of relief and go back to my task. At least now I know Alec won't dare to come back here.<br /> The hours go by, and I can feel the tension rising within our pack's building. Everyone is anxious about this meeting. Vince came down to check on my work five times within the last two hours. But I am proud of everything I have done and even feel rather confident about the dinner.<br /> "Nora! Stop daydreaming!"<br /> "So... Sorry Alpha. But I'm almost done!" I defend myself, showing the completed dishes.<br /> Vince nods, but won't compliment me. Then, he takes a look at me and clicks his tongue. I glance down. I spent all afternoon cooking, and thus, my clothes were dirtied. They weren't pretty, to begin with, but now... I look like a beggar. Even my hair is messy.<br /> "I will change into new clothes as soon as I'm done."<br /> "Whatever. Just go to your room and don't you dare come out tonight. I don't need the Blood Moon leaders to see your... face."<br /> His eyes are set on where my scar is, behind my hair. I was careful to braid my hair the right way so my curls would hide it, but it's no use, he knows it's there. I avoid his gaze and lower my head.<br /> At the same time, a group of pack members walks by to go to the recreation room, laughing and jokingly pushing one another. Alec is among them, and he stops as soon as he sees me. He goes from a smile to a pissed-off look in no time and keeps glaring at me as long as our eyes meet. I know my brother still thinks about this shift, but it's way too late now. I wonder why he wanted tonight's money so badly. Is he having money issues again?<br /> But he can't say anything right now; Vince is still facing me and watching my every move like a hawk, making sure I finish in time. I feel, however, that this will only delay Alec's punishment for opposing him...<br /> An hour later, I'm in the kitchen with my completed dishes, giving instructions.<br /> "...And this is called crรจme brรปlรฉe. All you need to do is burn the sugar on top a little when you serve it, like I just did."<br /> Jill and Maria are frowning, trying to remember it all. They will be the ones to serve tonight, as Vince doesn't want anyone that is not part of the pack to see me. Jill and Maria are my age, but they are way prettier, though they are not really smart.<br /> "Wait, why did you have to make a Russian dessert?" Asks Maria while playing with her blonde hair<br /> "It's not Russian, it's French! Vince said the main Family is originally from France, so..."<br /> They give me suspicious stares, but I don't care. All I need is for them to remember a few names and how to serve it!<br /> Thankfully, about twenty minutes later, I think they finally get it. I hope so... They leave upstairs to get ready, and I can finally clean the kitchen.<br /> It's almost time. Everyone is ready, and it is time for me to go hide in the basement. I'm so exhausted from cooking all afternoon, I just lay flat on my familiar couch.<br /> I'm about to fall asleep when I can hear them. The people from the Blood Moon Clan are here!<br /> I get up, totally awake, and run across the room to the small window. I climb on top of a rundown drawer to reach the opening. I have to stand on my toes to actually get to see something. My eyes are at ground level, and, for a while, all I can distinguish are feet and paws. But I can clearly hear Vince's voice.<br /> "Welcome! Welcome to the Jade Moon Den. I am Vincent Greene, and this is my Beta, Peter."<br /> I can distinguish his big brown boots among the crowd, and Peter, in his wolf form, next to him. Actually, a few members of our pack shapeshifted, too, prior to the guests' arrival, just in case... I suppose both sides can't trust the other.<br /> However, facing them, the Blood Moon pack members are easy to recognize, even from my position: They are all in human form, and wearing dark suits and classy black leather shoes. Look like some mafia has arrived! I'm shocked not a single one of them is in their wolf form. Are they that confident? Or just trying to act arrogantly? One of them answers, with a nice and gentle voice I didn't expect.<br /> "Thank you for having us. You have a lovely turf indeed... How lucky of you to be able to enjoy a run in the forest anytime you want."<br /> His tone is peaceful, so why is it his words seem so... menacing? I feel like he is threatening instead of thanking! Vince must be tense, but he won't show it.<br /> "Oh, we are very attached to our land. My family has protected it for generations. But the forest is everyone's, of course, so please do not hesitate to come whenever you want to escape the city!"<br /> I don't believe they would wait for permission...<br /> Vince finally invites them in, and I leave my spot to go put my ear against the door. The basement is next to the kitchen and pretty close to the dining hall. I can hear all the chatting as they go by, with Vince introducing some pack members and showing them the way. Actually, he is the only one talking; none of the Blood Moon can be heard. I wonder what they look like...<br /> I listen to them enter the dining hall, and then the kitchen goes quiet.<br /> Meanwhile, I change quickly into some clean clothes. I grab a clean pair of jeans that I have left in the old wardrobe and put on a dark blue sweater that's too big on me, but never mind. At least I feel clean.<br /> I'm putting my messy hair into a low bun when I hear some steps coming from the kitchen. Jill and Maria came to take the first plates, chatting as always.<br /> "Gosh, I could barely breathe in there; everyone is so tense! If only they would relax a little," says Maria.<br /> "Oh, I wish I could relax with that Nathaniel guy. I'm sure he's a wild beast behind the pretty boy look..."<br /> "Keep your paws off, girl. Amber already is eyeing him. That girl is such a woman... But even without her, I wouldn't go near one of them. Those Black brothers are scary. I mean, those guys killed their own father and Alpha!"<br /> "And it's only two of them here. But I heard the oldest brother is the worst; he is the crazy one of the lot. Okay, you got all of them?" Jill whispers.<br /> They go back, and the kitchen goes silent again. Did they really kill their Alpha father? I didn't know that part! No wonder everyone is so afraid of them... Jill and Maria come and go again in the kitchen, but the chatting is reduced to them trying to remember what they are serving. It's nerve-wracking to hear them struggle when I'm just behind the door, but I can't disobey Vincent's orders just to help those two!<br /> Thankfully, it seems the dinner goes well. I can hear everyone exiting the dining room, and their voices reach me again when they go out. It's dark by now, but never mind, I can still hear them talking.<br /> "....was impressed. It's been a while since we've enjoyed some authentic French cuisine," says the guy from earlier.<br /> They liked it! I find myself smiling and let out a sigh of relief, as Jill and Maria never said a thing about the guests' impressions for the whole dinner.<br /> "Glad you enjoyed it! It was our honor to have you here tonight."<br /> "Surely our brother is going to regret missing this. Who knew the Jade Moon Clan had such cooking-skilled members... By the way, you have exquisite ladies here."<br /> Vince must be overjoyed. This is the same as saying they would agree to let our packs members court each other, an excellent way to improve relationships.<br /> "Hey. Is that all your girls?" Says a voice I haven't heard before.<br /> Judging from his arrogant tone, that must be the other brother. What's with his question? He sounds so disdainful!<br /> "Hmm, well, yes. You've seen all our young girls who have yet to find their mate tonight..."<br /> "Never mind. Let's leave."<br /> They exchange a few greetings and soon leave. I can hear some of our pack members letting out sighs of relief.<br /> "What's with this attitude of his?! Are we not pretty enough now?" Growls Amber.<br /> "None of the Black Brothers has a mate yet. Maybe they were also looking for some prospect wife..." Says Lily, Vince's fiancรฉe.<br /> "Anyway, that went well. We should be content with that alone. I don't want any issues with the Blood Moon Clan. Their brother is pissed at the Sapphire Moon Clan these days, and trust me. No one wants to take their place..."<br /> I step down, as Vince is now just giving orders for the patrols. What a night... Even without being in the room, I was still on edge because of this dinner. Again, I wonder why those brothers and their guard bothered to come all the way here. They own half of the city and scare the other half. Are they interested in the outskirts of the city now?<br /> I just keep thinking about the dark rumors surrounding those three Black brothers, and slowly fall into a deep sleep...<br /> ---<br /> Something's wrong with my brother.<br /> "Nora, come here."<br /> "Alec!"<br /> My brother is here! He's in the kitchen, fidgeting and looking at me with a weird look. I approach him cautiously. He doesn't look drunk, that's a relief. I was thinking he might have been drinking, but he seems pretty neat and sober. All of a sudden, he hands me what he's been holding in his hands. Isn't that... one of our mother's dresses! I recognize the beautiful embroidery and the lace on the back. I didn't even know he had it!<br /> "I found this. Just put it on."<br /> Is this supposed to be a... present? He's frowning and won't look at it. I am not sure about what to do. Isn't this dress too thin for the season? Why would I put on such a pretty and daring dress here and now? But all of a sudden, my hesitation angers him.<br /> "Just put this thing on, I said!"<br /> He violently slaps me, making me step back. I don't answer and flee down to the basement to obey. I don't want to get hit a second time.<br /> I get dressed in front of the mirror, but my reflection is... unsettling. This dress is pretty, long and sleeveless, with lace at the back to find a corset-like style. The pure white doesn't look too good on my pallid and bruised skin. And it's mother's...<br /> "How long do you need to put on a dress?!"<br /> Alec comes down without warning and looks at me, visibly pissed. Seeing that I'm done, he runs up to me and grabs me by the arm without a word. I try resisting, but he's way stronger. He takes me out of the house and starts walking toward the city.<br /> "Wait, Alec, stop! I can't go out looking like this! What are you doing?! Stop!"<br /> He stops, and I get a new slap, a second, and a third, one after another.<br /> "Will you shut up?! I don't care! Just shut up and walk!"<br /> I don't dare to say a word anymore. I don't want any more hits, but where are we going?! I'm barefooted, and he makes me walk looking like this in the open! I am starting to get really scared of what's coming now. He makes sure we avoid the rest of the pack, making us take the long way around the houses. Everyone is having dinner, is that why he only came now? To avoid others? I don't like this...<br /> Twenty minutes later, we finally enter one of the buildings in the outskirts of the city. I know this one: It belongs to our Jade Moon Clan, so a few pack members live here. Who are we meeting, then? Without a word, he pushes me into the elevator, and finally lets my arm go. I'm freezing, and my arm aches...<br /> "Alec, what's going on? Why are we here?"<br /> "Settling my debts."<br /> "What, how?"<br /> He doesn't answer and pushes me to the sixth floor. He grabs me again as he sees me hesitating, and pushes me before him. I trip and almost fall on my knees as we enter one of the apartments, and when I raise my head, I see Marcus.<br /> Marcus, staring at me with a grin, half-undressed.<br /> "There you go," says Alec.<br /> "Wait, what? Alec, what is this?" I ask, panicked.<br /> Oh Moon Goddess, no, no, no.<br /> Marcus won't keep his hungry eyes off me, and my brother looks so... detached.<br /> "I told you, we are settling my debts. Marcus will do that."<br /> "Exactly, sweetheart. Now you are going to be a good girl and let me have my fun, and your brother walks out with all that money he needs. How great is that?!" Exclaims Marcus, with a broad smile.<br /> Have they gone crazy?! I don't want to spend even a minute with this lecherous dog! And now he wants to sell me to this old for money? What?!<br /> "No, no, I'm going," I say, turning back to the door.<br /> But Alec is in my way and grabs my arm forcefully.<br /> "Stop it, Nora! All you have to do is let him drill you and our money problems are over! What, are you going to say you don't want to? You think I give you?! But look, we need that money, so you're gonna be a good girl and..."<br /> "And screw you, Alec!" I explode. "What money problems? You're the one who got in trouble in the first place! Why do I have to do this?! I don't get a single cent for myself! Now you want to make me pay for the money I earned and you stupidly wasted? No way I'm doing this!"<br /> He hits me violently โ a full punch, throwing me on the floor. I land painfully on my arms, letting out a cry.<br /> "Shut up! Whose fault is it I'm broke in the first place! Who made me an orphan, huh? You freak!"<br /> He grabs me by the hair, forcefully making me stand on my knees, and looks at me with those crazy eyes.<br /> "You're going to do it, Nora. You're going to be the prick you are and have slept with Marcus. And after that, you better not complain, not a word, because if you do, I will kill you for good this time, you hear me?"<br /> He lets me go, and storms out, slamming the door behind him.<br /> He has gone mad. I'm shaking all over, from the panic and the shock combined. What nightmare is this?<br /> "Well, well, well.... It seems like you have your orders, now. So let's be a good girl, Nora. I'm paying your brother a good sum to have my way with you, so don't you play hard to get now."<br /> I don't want this pork anywhere near me, and there is no way I'm going to let him touch me in any way. My wolf is growling like crazy inside, ready to defend herself.<br /> No way.<br /> ---<br /> I slowly open my eyes.<br /> Such a high ceiling... Where am I?<br /> I turn my head. I'm in the biggest bed I've ever seen. I'm surrounded by medical monitors and it looks like a hospital bed, but... Brick red walls, wood flooring, and fancy furniture? The room is so huge, thirty people could fit in. But there's only three.<br /> A woman and a man are chatting on a sofa, and a younger guy is sitting to the side in a chair, resting his feet on a table and playing with a smartphone.<br /> "Oh, I think she's awake! "<br /> I can't talk, so the man brings me a notepad and a pen from the table. I write down my name.<br /> "Nora Bluemoon," he reads out loud. "A pretty name."<br /> He looks like our mate. I feel as if my wolf is saying this.<br /> Wait, what now? How do you know he does?<br /> But she goes silent again. It makes no sense. We have yet to meet him, so how would we know if he looks like our mate?<br /> While I'm trying to understand, some vague memory of a pair of silver eyes flashes, and I realize this guy as almost the same eyes. Only his are not really silver, but more of a blue-ish grey. Was that just a dream? Or did someone else really come to visit us while I was unconscious?<br /> I grab the pen once again to write my questions, and show them to Tonia.<br /> "Why are you here? Well, you were in really bad shape when we found you."<br /> "I don't think that's what she means, Tonia."<br /> The man addresses me, standing still next to my bed. "The hospital belongs to my family, so that's why Tonia brought you here. And we believe you are someone really special for my older brother, so, we got you the VIP room."<br /> How am I special? And how rich must his family be to own the General Hospital? I didn't even know hospitals could be bought or had VIP rooms until now.<br /> His gentle voice really has a way to make people feel calm and weary at the same time. Why does it look so familiar?<br /> Oh, Moon Goddess.<br /> I know where I've met him before. He was at the meeting with the Blood Moon Clan!<br /> He's one of the Black brothers! And saying I'm special to his older brother means...<br /> Mate! | HHitt013 | 38 | https://facebook.com/100094431461254 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | 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. | Lov002 | 57 | https://facebook.com/100092720766465 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Kayan<br /> I was betrayed by two people I trusted implicitly, my best friend and my fiancรฉ, or so i thought.<br /> Without saying a word, I bent down and picked up my phone. By this time Dimitri had donned his boxers and his slim fit navy dress pants. Mariana on the other hand was gripping the white sheet, trying to cover her body and was sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> Normally her tears would have stirred some sort of emotion but I felt absolutely nothing looking at her.<br /> Dimitri stepped towards me with his outstretched hand but I stepped back, and when I spoke my own voice surprised me.<br /> Two words, " How long?". I stared at both of them expectantly. Dimitri sighed and rubbed his face, looking at me with regret.<br /> When no response was forthcoming from him, I turned to Mariana and pinned her with a glare. " Shut up Mariana! I asked a question and I need an answer now!" I shouted.<br /> She pulled her knees to her chest as her body shook in fear, she had only seen me angry once so she knew not to taunt me. Dimitri on the other hand, was stunned.<br /> She looked at me and stuttered in fear " S....si...six months", and hung her head low. I absorbed her reply, laughed hysterically, which caught both of them by surprise. They looked at each other shrugging their shoulders and just as I started laughing suddenly, I stopped abruptly.<br /> "Six months you say? I guess this is the part where you'll say it was a mistake, you never meant to hurt me and you're both sorry right?." I spoke calmly, surprising myself.<br /> Dimitri was first to speak " Kay, please I'm so sorry. We were both tipsy after your work anniversary party,and after I dropped her off, everything went to terrible. I'm so sorry baby but..." I laughed again, cutting him off mid sentence.<br /> I held my hand up then turned to Mariana" What about you bimbo, any last words?" Her eyes bulged in fear and I watched her squirm in fear. She knew I could put a bullet between her eyes even with my eyes closed , thanks to my Dad taking me to the pistol range every Saturday for 2 years.<br /> She sprung to her knees, the sheet fell exposing her and I saw all the hickeys along her neck and on her breasts. "Kay please, let's talk about this. I'm so sorry and I regret this. I'm so sorry for hurting you like this, it wasn't planned."<br /> The nerve of this woman, I thought. I should have listened to my gut all those months ago. She kept thwarting our plans, started traveling a lot and would barely take my video calls then. And she kept changing or bashing my wedding plans and like a fool, I brushed it aside.<br /> Dimitri was the same, one business trip after another, late nights and then he was distant. When I asked him about it, he promised to do better than what he did, but there was a subtle change. We no longer have sleep.<br /> Both of them looked at me expectantly, waiting for the weak, docile Kayan to shed tears and assure them everything would be okay.<br /> I dropped my phone into my bag, grabbed my pistol and clicked the safety off. I swiftly fired two rounds which were followed by agonizing screams. I shot Dimitri in his thigh just inches from his shaft while Mariana got hers in her right shoulder. Just enough to cause pain but not be fatal.<br /> I walked out the room but turned to them saying " That's for the betrayal, I never want to see or hear from either of you again. The next time you won't be so lucky."<br /> I descended the stairs shakily, I touched my face checking for tears but there were none. My chest was convulsing but I refused to give in to the pain I was feeling.<br /> As I got to the last step, I looked around, marched over to the fireplace and threw all photos she had of us together into it. I lifted the stoker, broke her 60" Samsung TV and everything went red from thereon. I trashed her apartment then walked out as if nothing happened.<br /> I grabbed my baseball bat from my trunk, smashed all her windows and doors. Just as I about to leave, I saw Dimitri's Silver Range Rover across the street.<br /> How didn't I notice it before?<br /> I walked up to it and repeated my actions. When I was satisfied, I hopped into my van and drove away.<br /> ---- <br /> Dimitri<br /> I couldn't believe Kayan shot us and simply walked away. I had known her for over 6 years but I never encountered this side of her. I knew I deserved that, worst of all, I ruined the one good thing I had done.<br /> I was thinking with my shaft and not my brain, because in assessing the current situation, Mariana was just a good woman. There is attraction, but the feelings I have for Kayan are deeper.<br /> Her sobs reverberated around the bedroom , bringing me back to the current situation.<br /> When Kayan left the room, I heard her trashing Mariana's apartment downstairs and was about to go after her.<br /> Mariana's words stopped me dead in my tracks, "Leave her be, Dimitri, she will kill you! She needs to calm down first before we approach her." I turned to her slowly, trying to ignore the pain and blood gushing from my wound.<br /> "What do you mean Mari? I'm going after her! There is no us. This was a mistake. I need to talk to her!" I ran my hands over my face then slid my belt around my leg making a tourniquet.<br /> She slid off the bed, gripping the sheet with her uninjured shoulder. " Take it from me, we're lucky to be alive! You have never seen her upset or know what she's capable of in this state but I do!" She tiptoed to the door listening for any further sound from downstairs, but was greeted with silence.<br /> Mariana sat on the stairs shaking and crying while gripping her disheveled hair.<br /> The front door was ajar, I moved to lock it but the sight of Mariana's car took my breath away. I looked across the street to mine and it looked even worst.<br /> I shook my head, sighed and turned too quickly, causing a searing pain in the bullet wound.<br /> I called my driver Michael and told him to be quick and discreet.<br /> Mariana got dressed in the meantime while we waited with bated breaths.<br /> Michael arrived in about 10 minutes, his eyes expressed shock but he knew better than to ask any questions.<br /> He drove us to Wyckoff Medical, the only place I knew would be discreet about what happened.<br /> Using the back entrance, we were quickly ushered into separate rooms for assessment.<br /> As I laid on the bed, I felt Dr. Green prodding my wound for the bullet. He's been our family physician since I was a child, so when he asked who I pissed off this time , I sighed and ignored him.<br /> All I could think about was Kayan, she was my everything!<br /> Not anymore you prick, you screwed up and you're lucky to be alive, I shook my head, trying to shake guilt ridden thoughts from my subconscious.<br /> I reminisced on all the times we spent together, the plans we made for our future and our kids. I reflected on how she supported me even when my own father doubted me. She never gave up on me. You shut up Dimitri!<br /> Dr. Green waved his hand above my eyes while calling my name. " Did you hear anything I said just now?" he asked quietly.<br /> I sighed " No, what is it?". My tone was clipped but right now I didn't care, I could apologize later.<br /> He rolled his eyes before continuing "I said there's a detective waiting outside to talk to you, you know it's my duty to report this." He grabbed a scissors and cut the thread, signaling that he had finished stitching my wound.<br /> "You'll live, but stay off your feet for a few days, and use a crutch if you have to move around." Dr. Green bandaged my leg and was about to leave when I stopped him.<br /> "Wait, I apologize for my behavior Doc. Where's the young lady who came in with me? I need to see her now." He looked at me sadly, shook his head and left the room without a word.<br /> My guess is he figured out why Kayan hadn't rushed into the hospital demanding answers. The realization hit me of how I not only disappointed Kayan but everyone close to me, especially my parents. <br /> I must have dosed off from the pain medication I had gotten as I was woken up by Mariana gently shaking my shoulder and calling my name.<br /> Blinking my eyes to adjust to the bright lights, I grabbed the remote and adjusted my bed. Mariana looked terrible, her hair was unkempt and her eyes were swollen. Her right arm was bandaged and now in a sling.<br /> She sat in the chair beside the bed and hung her head low. " I spoke to the police, I told them we were mugged at the apartment as we were trying to finalize wedding arrangements." It was barely a whisper, but I sighed in relief.<br /> "We messed up but I agree, I'll tell them the same thing. Kayan doesn't deserve this." My throat felt hoarse so I reached for a tumbler with water, poured a cup and took several sips.<br /> " I told you we needed to stop Dimitri but you insisted on coming over!" I pinned her with a glare which caused her to shut up immediately.<br /> The nerve of this woman! I laughed coldly before turning to her " Oh so now it's my fault Mar? Surely you weren't complaining when I rammed your wet dripping private part with my shaft right? You never said stop! Anything else I'm forgetting?" My chest was heaving by the time I finished ranting.<br /> I was about to continue but her sobs erupted. She looked at me lost, guilt etched across her face before she stood to leave.<br /> "Look Mar, I'm sorry okay. I just don't know what to do." I held her wrist, my thumb caressing the inside of her hand in a comforting way. "How did she get in though?"<br /> Mariana was trembling as tears streamed down her face. She took a deep breath before she spoke. "I forgot she had a key from over a year ago. She would always check the place when I traveled for a convention or went to see my family."<br /> My mouth opened to speak but no words were forthcoming and they never came as the door banged open, slamming into the wall denting it.<br /> Jumping with fright, we turned to see my very pissed off father and my distraught mother. Before I could utter a word, he spoke," You, get out now and don't let me see your face again!" Mariana jumped in fear and ran from the room sobbing before I could stop her.<br /> "Dad i can explain...." He slammed his hand onto the small table, knocking the tumbler over.<br /> My mom grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down but he flicked her hand away and grabbed my hospital gown roughly, "Explain what exactly Dimitri? How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> "I'm going to fix this Dad, just give me a chance please." I turned towards my mom seeking support but she turned her head away from me. " Mom, please I'm sorry, I'll fix this. I'm gonna make everything right."<br /> My Dad simply scoffed at my words, took my Mom's hands and walked out the door.<br /> The only sound that filled the room was that of the water droplets bouncing on the floor.<br /> ---- <br /> Mariana<br /> I have never been more regretful in my entire life. My head was throbbing non stop, my eyes were puffy from all the tears I'd shed in the past 24 hours. My mind replayed the events and all I could think of, was that I should be dead by Kayan's hands.<br /> My driver dropped me off to the apartment, and as I stepped inside I once again surveyed the damage. Nothing was left untouched, I had to start over but I guess that's the price to pay for stabbing your best friend in the back for six months.<br /> I wanted to stop so many times, I knew it was wrong but Dimitri was like a spirit I couldn't get enough of.<br /> We decided to take the secret to our graves and everything was going great until I saw him a week later at Danny's Cafe. We sat and talked for a while but after an hour when we attempted to leave, the sexual tension was just too much to ignore.<br /> From thereon, we used our lunch breaks and any free time we could muster to screw each other senseless. After each encounter, we'd say it was the last time , but that never happened as soon after I took trips when he did or he came to my apartment before going home.<br /> All this time, I gave Kayan a million excuses as to why we couldn't meet up, continued planning her wedding virtually and offered excuses when she whined about Dimitri being overly consumed by work.<br /> I even ended things with my own boyfriend as our relationship became strained and miserable because of my infidelity.<br /> Now this is the endgame, I lost my best friend who always stood by me and I'm pretty sure Dimitri and I have no future.<br /> Sitting on the stairs, I decided to take a leap of faith and call Kayan. If I could just get her to listen to me for a second, I would tell her how sorry I am and try to fix things.<br /> As I dialed her number, it went directly to voice-mail, and after trying a few more times unsuccessfully, I decided to go see her. I ordered an Uber, waiting outside for a few minutes before the car pulled up.<br /> I got in, gave the driver her address and stared blankly out the window. The only sounds were that of the music playing in the dashboard.<br /> Ten minutes later, I was standing on the curb outside Kayan's townhouse. Hesitantly, I opened the gate, trudged up the steps and rang the bell. I was there waiting for a few minutes, I called her but there was no response.<br /> I walked to the garden by the lamp post where she always hid a spare key. It was gone.<br /> Just as I was about to step from the yard, I was stopped in my tracks by a faint voice. My hopes increased but when I turned around expecting Kayan, no one was there.<br /> What was that then, I thought to myself.<br /> I reopened the Uber app, placed my request and waited by the curb.<br /> "She's not here you know." I was startled by the voice and was relieved to see her neighbor Michael.<br /> "What do you mean? Where is she?" I asked hurriedly.<br /> He eyed me suspiciously before replying,<br /> "Seeing you here looking like poop tells me you had a role in Kay's sudden departure 2 hours ago." His words were true yet hurtful, I castedmy eyes down in shame.<br /> "You don't know, Mike, just tell me where she went, I need to talk to her before it's too late" I begged him.<br /> The prick was nonchalant as he leant against her gate typing away on his phone. After getting a ping, indicating a message, he looked up at me smirking.<br /> "Well if you must know, my girl left for England indefinitely..." he paused, struggling to hold back a snicker, "...Oh and she says you should go yourself or Dimatro, whatever the pretty boy's name is." Michael was now clutching his side laughing hysterically while I sighed in defeat.<br /> She's gone! And now there's no way I will find her because I can't go to her family and I'm pretty sure she's already changed her number!<br /> I didn't warrant Michael a response since the Uber pulled up, I hopped in and left.<br /> My phone began vibrating in my pocket and I grabbed it quickly, just hoping it would be Kayan. I was disappointed as Dimitri's name flashed on the screen.<br /> "What do you want Dimitri? Haven't we done enough, didn't you hear what your father said?" I shouted angrily, catching sight of the driver's raised brows in the rear view mirror.<br /> "Calm down Mari, I wanted to apologize for my Dad. I'm getting discharged now so I'm heading home, I need to sort things out with Kay." Though I had wanted the same thing minutes ago, I couldn't help the pang of jealousy that gripped me.<br /> Before I could stop myself I snarled in response<br /> "Thanks for asking how I'm doing you prick! Oh and don't bother going there because she's gone!"<br /> "What are you talking about Mari! This is not the time to joke with me..." I'd had enough of his nonsense so I cut him mid sentence " Kay's gone Dimitri, I just left the house, she's not home and her neighbor says she left for England." The other end of the line was silent.<br /> I looked at the screen to see if the call had been disconnected but the line was still open.<br /> "Dimitri?" He sighed in response and I heard him grunt in pain, perhaps moving too quickly on his injured leg.<br /> "I'm here Mari. How will I fix things if I don't know where to find her? Of all the places, she had to chose England!? Couldn't she have just gone to her parents? What am I going to do now?"<br /> I wanted to speak but my throat felt as if it was clogged.<br /> I cut the call, switched to airplane mode and rested my head against the window as fresh salty tears rolled down my cheeks.<br /> I lost everything.<br /> My best friend. Dimitri . And a family who accepted me without judgement and showed me nothing but love all these years. | Lio111 | 16 | https://facebook.com/61554822209907 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | 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. 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 /> "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 | Vam005 | 30 | https://facebook.com/61550884130918 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

"<br /> "Elliot, what's going on?" I look at him, then at her, and back at him.<br /> He quickly stands up from his seat. "She was just leaving. Weren't you, Clara?<br /> She bats her eyelashes rapidly. "Honey, I think it's time for her to learn the truth. Don't you agree?"<br /> Clara laughs, looking at me. "I'm the woman who slept with him yesterday and the days before."<br /> "Taylor, please let me explain." He has the nerve to plead with me, after what he did.<br /> No. I won't stay here and listen as he tries to find an excuse for what he did. <br /> "Taylor, please. I want to talk to you." He tries again.<br /> "There's nothing to talk about" I snap at him.<br /> <br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> <br /> I take the stairs to go to my apartment. Iโm so lost in my thoughts, that I donโt pay any attention to my surroundings.<br /> "Watch it!โ Someone warns me.<br /> I look up, and a man that I have never seen before is standing right in front of me. He has dark hair cut in a military style and deep blue eyes. I see tattoos on his neck that seem to go all the way down to his torso. I canโt help, but think how handsome he is. I take a step back to put some distance between us.<br /> He must be my new neighbour.<br /> I smile as I present my hand to him. โHello, my name is Taylor Walker. Whatโs yourโs?โ<br /> He glares at me as if Iโm already a nuisance to him. โAnnoyed.โ He let out as he walks past me.<br /> Rude! I say to myself before I keep walking up the stairs.<br /> I unlock the door with my keys and look through my mail. โBills. Bills. Bills.โ I mumble to myself.<br /> I will deal with them later. Right now, all I want is to take a cup of coffee before I put myself pretty for my date with Elliot.<br /> I donโt smoke or drink. My only dope is coffee. I need at least four cups per day, and thatโs when I have a good day.<br /> As I make a cup of coffee for myself, I take a disposable cup to make another one. I donโt know why I even bother with this. So why am I purring a second cup for a man I donโt even know, is beyond me.<br /> Okay, Iโll admit. I didnโt like our first encounter.<br /> I wonder if he takes sugar or milk. He seems like a man that likes his coffee black.<br /> I bite my lips nervously as I pass my threshold.<br /> Why am I doing this again? I ask myself on the way to his apartment.<br /> I know where he leaves. Heโs my next-door neighbour.<br /> I clear my throat as I knock on his door.<br /> No response.<br /> I knock again.<br /> โWhat the freak do you want?โ He snaps at me while he opens his door.<br /> My heart skips a beat. Maybe itโs because of his deep blue eyes that they keep staring at me as if they want to devour my soul or something.<br /> I smile so he wonโt notice how nervous he makes me. โUhmm, I wanted to properly welcome you to the building.โ I give him the cup of coffee that I made for him.<br /> He takes a drag at his cigar, looking at my body all the way up to my eyes. โAre you here, because you want to freak?โ<br /> My jaw drops on the floor. โWhat? No!โ I nearly scream at him.<br /> He chuckles, seeing my reaction. โThatโs what I thought.โ He starts to close the door.<br /> โWait, you could at least tell me your name.โ I wonโt back down, even if his words made me uncountable. I put my hand in my chest to give a little drama. โDonโt tell me that a man at your size is scared by a little woman like myself.โ Itโs my turn to tease him.<br /> Iโm five foot tall, and heโs like six. Heโs a mountain man.<br /> He takes the cup from my hand. โIโm not scared. Thank you for the coffee, buttercup.โ He then closes the door in my face.<br /> Argh!<br /> You donโt get to take my coffee and not answer my question.<br /> I knock on his door harder this time.<br /> โLeave me the freak alone!โ He says, glaring at me.<br /> I shake my head stubbornly. โNot until you tell me your name. Itโs rude otherwise.โ<br /> โYou wonโt leave me the freak alone, is that it?โ He let out a growl. โOwen Blake. Now Piss off!โ Once again he closes the door in my face.<br /> I smirk as I walk back to my place.<br /> I look at the time. โFreak! Iโm going to be late for my date with Elliot. I have to hurry to get ready.โ<br /> I drink my coffee in a hurry and run inside the bathroom to take a shower.<br /> Elliot and I have been together for over a year now. He wants me to move in with him, but I donโt want to. I love my independence and my apartment to give them up.<br /> I brush my teeth after my shower as a towel covers my body.<br /> As I look inside my closet, I wonder what Iโm going to wear. I think Iโm going to go with my green cocktail dress and some black heels. I decided to put light makeup on myself.<br /> I run, hearing my cell phone inside the kitchen. โHello.โ<br /> โHey, baby,โ Elliot says over the phone. โIโm sorry, but I have to reschedule our date. I have an emergency at work that I canโt get out of.โ<br /> I sigh. Itโs not the first time that this has happened.<br /> โI can always come over tomorrow.โ He suggests.<br /> โSure.โ<br /> โI am sorry, but I truly have to go now. See you tomorrow.โ He hung up before I have the chance to say goodbye to him.<br /> I just got dressed for nothing.<br /> I need some air.<br /> I grab my jacket to go upstairs to the rooftop. I love to go there and think.<br /> As I arrive, I stare up at the sky. A full moon is out tonight.<br /> I hear a noise and when I look to where it was coming from, I jump as I see a shadow not far from me.<br /> โRelax, buttercup. Itโs just me.โ He smirks, seeing my reaction.<br /> I put my hand on my chest while my heart beat fast. โGod, Owen. Warn someone before you give them a heart attack.โ<br /> He takes a drag from his cigar, as he keeps staring at me.<br /> Will he stop doing that?<br /> โYou know, one of these days, this will kill you.โ I point at what he has in between his fingers.<br /> He exhales the smoke from his lungs while his eyes try to pierce my soul.<br /> I feel nervous under his stare, but at the same time, I feel drawn to them.<br /> โWho cares how I would die. Eventually, everyone will meet their fate. Not that I care, but where are you going dressing up like that?โ<br /> I look down on myself. โI was supposed to go out on a date with my boyfriend. He cancelled at the last minute. He has an emergency at work.โ<br /> Owen licks his lips. โMaybe heโs screwing with someone as we speak.โ<br /> I cross my arms in front of me, feeling annoyed by him. โWhy are you so mean to me? I never did something to deserve this. Besides, I trust him. He would never do something like that to me.โ<br /> I take a few steps to leave but stop at the last minute. โAll I did was try to be nice to you, and thatโs what I get.โ<br /> He frowns his eyebrows. โI never asked you freak. Itโs not my problem if you canโt handle the truth.โ<br /> โUgh, Iโm leaving,โ I say as I step further away from him.<br /> โGood riddance.โ He says loud enough for me to hear him.<br /> Owenโs words start to hunt me more than they should. I trust Elliot. Heโs a good man. Iโm sure all he wanted was a reaction from me, and he succeeded.<br /> Thatโs all and nothing else.<br /> I trust Elliot. I say one more time.<br /> <br /> I look around my apartment, and Iโm satisfied with the cleaning. Iโm not a clean freak. I just love my apartment to be spotless. While I cleaned my apartment, it distracted me from what happened yesterday.<br /> <br /> Owenโs words still bother me.<br /> <br /> โ<br /> Maybe heโs screwing with someone as we speak.โ<br /> <br /> Ugh! Why did he have to say this?<br /> <br /> I know it isnโt true. I trust Elliot. When we spend time together, he never gives me the impression that heโs cheating. Heโs always a sweetheart.<br /> <br /> Iโm so lost in my thoughts that when the doorโs bell ring, I jump a little.<br /> <br /> โIt must be Elliot,โ I say to myself as I go to answer the door.<br /> <br /> โHey, baby.โ Elliot smiles at me, holding a huge bouquet of red roses in his hands.<br /> <br /> Like I said, a sweetheart.<br /> <br /> I love roses. I think they are pretty, but they arenโt my favourite kind. The flower that I love the most is called sakura in Japanese. Which means cherry blossom.<br /> <br /> โAre those for me?โ I ask him.<br /> <br /> He smirks. โWhy of course. Only the best for my girlfriend.โ<br /> <br /> โWhat did I do to deserve such a gift?โ I play along.<br /> <br /> โDo I need a reason to spoil you?โ He wonders in a playful tone. โI saw them, and I thought of you.โ<br /> <br /> Out of nowhere, someone chuckles behind Elliot. As my boyfriend moves to the side, I see Owen ready to go inside his apartment while he has an arm around a womanโs waist.<br /> <br /> Off course.<br /> <br /> โ<br /> Are you here, because you want to freak?โ<br /> I remember Owen saying those words to me.<br /> <br /> Stop thinking about this, or youโre going to blush in front of him, and FYI you arenโt interested in him. You have a boyfriend so you can forget it. I scold myself.<br /> <br /> โSo this is the boyfriend.โ Owen looks at the flower in Elliotโs hands. Thatโs what I thought.โ He laughs, guiding his guest inside his apartment.<br /> <br /> What did he mean by thatโs what I thought?<br /> <br /> Is he referring to his words from last night?<br /> <br /> Why do I even bother racking my brain over this?<br /> <br /> Owen isnโt worth my time if he's acting like a jerk.<br /> <br /> Elliot clears his throat once we are inside my place. โSo, who was that?โ<br /> <br /> I take the bouquet from his hands. โOwen Blake, my new neighbour.โ<br /> <br /> He nods his head, but he doesnโt seem happy. โWhat did he mean by that what I thought? Did you speak to him?โ<br /> <br /> I open a kitchen cabinet to grab the vase. โHeโs my new neighbour. I couldnโt ignore him.โ<br /> <br /> Even if heโs an hip.<br /> <br /> โSo.โ He rubs his chin with his fingers. โWhat did he mean when he said thatโs what I thought?โ He repeats the question.<br /> <br /> I bite my lips nervously. I donโt know how he will react if I tell him, but I canโt lie to him. That wonโt be fair. Besides, I donโt have anything to hide.<br /> <br /> I pour some water inside the vase. โI told him that you were working late last night, and he said that it was because you were cheating on me. โ<br /> <br /> He frowns. โDid you believe him?โ<br /> <br /> I shake my head. โOf course not. I know you will never do such a thing to me.โ<br /> <br /> He let out a sight. โI donโt like this.โ<br /> <br /> I turn my head to look at him. โYou donโt like what?โ<br /> <br /> He folds his arms in front of him. โHim. He seems dangerous. You should stay clear of him. Better yet, come live with me permanently.โ<br /> <br /> Not this again!<br /> <br /> We already talked about this. He knows exactly where I stand on that matter. How should I put this in words so I wonโt upset his feelings? He barely stepped inside my apartment, and we are already talking about this.<br /> <br /> Yes, we argue sometimes. We are a couple. Everyone argues sometimes.<br /> <br /> I cut the edges of the roses before I put them in the vase. โ We talked about this. Iโm not going to move in with you, just because you dislike my neighbour. Iโm a big girl, I can take care of myself.โ<br /> <br /> Freak!<br /> <br /> Was I too harsh?<br /> <br /> Elliot inhales sharply, nodding his head.<br /> <br /> I know heโs not happy with my answer, but itโs the truth. Iโm not saying. Iโm saying not right now.<br /> <br /> Maybe itโs time to change the subject?<br /> <br /> Before I have the chance to do any of that, I feel Elliotโs arms circling my waist from behind. โIโm sorry, okay? I donโt come here to argue with you.<br /> <br /> Itโs like he read my mind.<br /> <br /> I turn around to bring my arms around his neck. โSo, how was work yesterday?โ<br /> <br /> Elliot makes a face, looking at me. โI donโt want to talk about work when Iโm with you.โ<br /> <br /> Itโs not the answer that I was looking for. I canโt blame him as I didnโt give him the answer that he wanted. So I will put this matter to the side and concentrate on my boyfriend.<br /> <br /> I smile at him. โAnd do tell me, what do you have in mind?โ<br /> <br /> Elliot smirks before he pecks my lips. โTrust me, baby, I have an idea, but first I want us to go out, and then later at my place, I will show you what I have in mind.โ<br /> <br /> Yesterday, I took the time to make myself pretty for our date that didnโt even happen. If he wants to take me out, he will have to take me with what Iโm wearing.<br /> <br /> I move away from him to go grab my purse and my jacket.<br /> <br /> โAre you going to change first?โ He wonders, looking at my body.<br /> <br /> I put my hand on my waist. โAre you saying that what Iโm wearing isnโt good enough for you?<br /> <br /> โNo.โ Heโs quick to say. โIt's just that I love seeing you in a cute little dress.โ<br /> <br /> I cross my arms in front of me. โIf you havenโt ditched me yesterday, you would have seen me into one.โ<br /> <br /> โIt wasnโt my fault. I had an emergency, and you know it.โ His words raise a little as he speaks.<br /> <br /> Thatโs exactly what I wanted to avoid us arguing.<br /> <br /> I go to him and peck him on the cheek. โIโm sorry, okay. I donโt know why I said that. I know it was out of hand on my part. Can we go now?โ<br /> <br /> He leaves a peck on my forehead. โIโm sorry too.โ<br /> <br /> Elliot takes my hand in his to guide us out of my place. I guess he doesnโt want to argue either.<br /> <br /> As we walk, a noise that comes from Owenโs apartment makes me freeze on the spot.<br /> <br /> โYes! Yes! Blake, yes!โ<br /> <br /> I bite my lips. I never screamed this way when Iโm intimate with Elliot. Am I missing something? Iโm not saying that our drill life is boring, Iโve never been so loud.<br /> <br /> Is it me, or does Elliot make us walk faster than necessary?<br /> <br /> I look around after the hostess of the restaurant shows us our table. As I look around, I notice that everyone is wearing nice clothes. We are definitely in a luxury fashion restaurant.<br /> <br /> I should have probably listened to Elliot and worn something nicer.<br /> <br /> Did he do it on purpose?<br /> <br /> No, Iโm sure he didnโt. I donโt even know why it crossed my mind.<br /> <br /> As I sit on the chair, I notice that the woman whoโs sitting to my right is judging me for the way sheโs looking at me. Maybe it has something to do with what Iโm wearing. I feel undressed. Is it as if everyoneโs judging me? I clear my throat, looking at the menu instead.<br /> <br /> Elliot didnโt notice anything. Heโs on the phone with someone from his work. I donโt mind. Iโm used to it by now.<br /> <br /> โNo. No, this isnโt a good idea.โ Elliot frowns as he speaks. He doesnโt seem happy. โWe will deal with this tomorrow.โ He hung up right after.<br /> <br /> I look at him with concern. โIs everything ok?โ<br /> <br /> โMmhmm.โ He mumbles.<br /> <br /> I wonโt push on the matter. If he wants to talk about it, he will.<br /> <br /> A young woman around my age stands beside us. โHello, my name is Lucy. I will be your waitress for tonight. Are you ready to order?โ She asks with a smile on her lips.<br /> <br /> I look through the menu, and even though everything seems delicious. I decided to go with something light. โA Caesar salad for me.โ<br /> <br /> She nods her head, writing it on her pad. โAnything to drink?โ<br /> <br /> I shake my head. โNo. Just water, please.โ<br /> <br /> Lucy turns her intention to my boyfriend. โAnd you, sir?โ<br /> <br /> โIโm going to go with the lamb shanks and a bottle of your finest beverage.โ He closes the menu and gives it to her.<br /> <br /> I let out a sigh. Itโs not that Iโm bothered that he has money, but he doesnโt have to show it every time we go out. He would have brought me to a food truck for our date, and I would still enjoy myself. I donโt need much. Just spending time with him would be enough for me.<br /> <br /> Elliot takes my hand once Lucy leaves with our order. โSo, what did you do today?โ<br /> <br /> I give him a smirk. โI donโt want to talk about work. Wasnโt what you wanted?โ<br /> <br /> He let out a chuckle. โI guess I deserve that.โ<br /> <br /> I look to my right, and the woman from earlier once again is staring at me. The guy thatโs with her is trying to get her intentions, but he falls miserably.<br /> <br /> Poor guy.<br /> <br /> As Elliot looks at the same woman, I notice his expression change for only a second.<br /> <br /> Iโm about to ask him whatโs up with that when Iโm distracted by Lucy as she brings our meals.<br /> <br /> I get up from my seat. โIf youโll excuse me, Iโm going to powder my nose.โ<br /> <br /> Elliot takes my hand to leave a peck on my skin. โOk.โ<br /> <br /> Iโm not going to powder my nose. It was better to say this than say Iโm going to the toilet to do the number one. I have manners.<br /> <br /> Once Iโm finished, I look at my reflection in the mirror. The thing I love the most about me is my hair. At first, you think they are black, but when the light hits them, the brown shines through them.<br /> <br /> As I walk back to my table, I stop on my track. I see the woman from earlier sitting in my seat while she talks with Elliot. He doesnโt seem happy with her presence.<br /> <br /> Whatโs wrong with this picture? I wonder.<br /> <br /> When Elliot sees me approaching them, I see the panic in his eyes.<br /> <br /> Owenโs words from last night replay in my head.<br /> โ<br /> Maybe heโs screwing with someone as we speak.โ<br /> <br /> Am I gullible to think that Elliot isnโt cheating on me? I have to get to the bottom of this before I make any accusations. I could be wrong here. It can be nothing.<br /> <br /> โElliot, whatโs going on?โ I look at him, then at her, and back at him.<br /> <br /> He quickly stands up from his seat. โShe was just leaving. Werenโt you, Clara?<br /> <br /> She bats her eyelashes rapidly. โHoney, I think itโs time for her to learn the truth. Donโt you agree?โ<br /> <br /> I cross my arms in front of me. โAnd who exactly are you?โ<br /> <br /> I suspect whatโs going on.<br /> <br /> Clara laughs, looking at me. โIโm the woman who slept with him yesterday and the days before.โ<br /> <br /> I canโt believe this. He told me that he wasnโt cheating.<br /> <br /> I look around, and everyone is staring at us.<br /> <br /> I canโt believe what is happening.<br /> <br /> โTaylor.โ I hear Elliot says my name.<br /> <br /> I ignore him completely. I go grab my coat and purse to get out of here. On the way out I call a uber company to come and pick me up.<br /> <br /> Once Iโm outside, waiting. Someone grabs my hand, and I know who that is. Iโm quick to remove my hand from his hold.<br /> <br /> โTaylor, please let me explain.โ He has the nerve to plead with me, after what he did.<br /> <br /> No. I wonโt stay here and listen as he tries to find an excuse for what he did. I ignore him completely as I look ahead me.<br /> <br /> โTaylor, please. I want to talk to you.โ He tries again.<br /> <br /> โThereโs nothing to talk aboutโ I snap at him.<br /> <br /> โElliot, there you are.โ Clara joins us outside. โNow that she knows, we can finally be together.โ<br /> <br /> Donโt cry. I say to myself. Not here, and certainly not in front of her.<br /> <br /> He turns to look at her to ask her to leave. An argument between them starts, and thankfully, I see the uber appear on the road.<br /> <br /> Neither of them notices that I get in the uber.<br /> <br /> All I want is to go home. A tear falls down my cheek as I try to keep it at bay. The driver doesnโt seem to be effective in my situation. Iโm sure in his line of work he saw this a lot of times.<br /> <br /> I stand in front of my door with the keys in my hand. I donโt want to go in. Something tells me that Elliot is on his way to talk to me. I donโt want to see him.<br /> <br /> A stupid idea coss my mind.<br /> <br /> Iโm sure that Iโm going to regret this, but for now, itโs my best option. Elliot will never think to search for me there.<br /> <br /> I walk until Iโm in front of Owenโs door and knock on it.<br /> <br /> Freak! Maybe the girl that he was with is still with him.<br /> <br /> Iโm about to turn around as I change my mind when his door opens.<br /> <br /> He frowns at me. โItโs you again.โ<br /> <br /> โIโm sorry to bother you.โ I feel shy under his stare.<br /> <br /> I donโt know why Iโm standing here. I donโt even know the guy. I swallow my pride. โCan I come in, please? I argued with Eliott, and Iโm not ready to face him yet.โ<br /> <br /> To my surprise, he opens his door wider, just enough for me to enter his place. | Red111 | 15 | https://facebook.com/61554959872521 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

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." | ForFun-120 | 72 | https://facebook.com/61554751622817 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

So, I will be your luna." Reagan said to Justin.<br /> ******** <br /> I silently run through the woods letting my wolf Emerald out tonight. She has been anxious all day, well really the last few days, and I could tell that she needed to come out for a run. <br /> Alpha Cole Walker is the Alpha of the Blood Walker pack. He is said to be one of the most dangerous Alphas in the United States. It is said that he would hurt anyone who dared to enter his pack uninvited. Due to this fact, most of our pack members studiously avoid this area altogether.<br /> My twin sister, Reagan, is the golden child of the pack. They all love her unconditionally. She is cherished and appreciated, no matter what she does. They all seem to ignore the fact that she is a horrible and mean she-wolf. I was born first, and with that should come the respect that after I find my mate, I will officially be the Luna here, and he will take over as the Alpha of the pack. Yet they all treat her as the next Luna. <br /> My sister and I are the only children that our parents had. The Goddess never blessed them with another child, even though they tried for years. My father, Alpha Graham Sullivan, is very strict with me. I am not allowed to leave my room other than to eat my meals and then return back to my room again. I am also not allowed to leave our pack for any reason. I have never even crossed the border of the Sliver Blade pack in my life. <br /> I was the Alpha's daughter, but I was not a valued member of this pack. Telling on me has always resulted in a bonus for whoever told on me to my father. I have had to learn how to overcome this on my own. It has made me very independent over the years, as well as a very good climber. I use the tree outside my window at the pack house, to climb up and down to get in and out of my room.<br /> From my vantage point, I can see who is coming now and rolled my eyes so hard I almost saw my brain. It was Reagan, and she was pulling the arm of a pretty large guy, as she headed toward the grassy bank near my tree. I realized right this moment that I have picked a terrible place to hide. I should have doubled back and then climbed in my window to my room and I would have been safe and sound in my room. Reagan is clearly out with one of her many men, as she was allowed to stay out and do whatever she wanted to. I mean how else could she beat me to finding her mate if she didn't flirt with all the unmated men in our pack? I rolled my eyes again and then froze when I looked at them again and got a good look at his face.<br /> That smell coming off of him was starting to drive me wild, he smelled like freshly baked cinnamon buns, and I was now pissed off. She had come here with the guy that I had a crush on, someone with whom she had never shown any interest in before. It was our Beta's son and the guy that I have had a crush on for the last year and a half.<br /> "No, don't stop them, Raven, she has already been dating with him for the last few months. This is not the first time, it has been well before he returned to the pack earlier this week. They are together now, dating, and they have both vowed to reject their actual mates to stay together to take over and run this pack. Please, just try to bear it, I will help you get through it. I am glad that you are in a secure location, this may make you pass out" Emerald linked me, and I felt physically sick.<br /> "How do you know this? Did she know that he is my mate? Why can't I approach him? Maybe he wants me, Emerald. Please let me stop this. He might not know that I am his mate, he may still want me, want US! I don't want to lose him, Emerald. He may not be aware his true mate is here. Can't he already smell our scent up here, like I smelled his scent? Are you sure that this is the only way? Please Emerald" I linked her back, and I feel the tears that are already sliding down my face. I have questions, and I need answers.<br /> I am frustrated. I don't want to give up on my true mate. He doesn't even know that I am here, and I do want him. I don't want to give him up, especially not to my sister Reagan. I don't know if I can survive this level of betrayal.<br /> "I can't wait for mom and dad to announce to the pack that we will be the Alpha and Luna tomorrow. This is something that I have really wanted for the last 8 years. I am so glad you decided that we could be chosen mates. " My sister says to my mate.<br /> "Besides, I am also glad that you are willing to lead the Silver Blade pack with me. I have a feeling that my freak of a sister who keeps staring at you is going to be crushed when she finds out that we are together. You dodged by deciding to accept me as your chosen mate. I know that she has a crush on you, so she would probably try to ask you out or something when she sees that you are back from break." She adds.<br /> "I think we will be so happy together. Raven will be so angry when she finds out that we planned this months ago. I cannot wait for her to find out. I even told mom to have her sit on the front row for the pack meeting tomorrow, so I can see her face when dad makes the announcement. I am going to put her next to you so it will hurt her more when dad calls you up on stage. When she realizes that her crush is going to be my mate, she is going to be so jealous of me. I am so going to get a picture of her face when she finds out, as I will want to remember that moment for a long time" I heard Reagan say to him, and I was so choked up I couldn't hold in the sob of pain that managed to escape.<br /> It wasn't loud, but with werewolf hearing, it was loud enough. I just stayed completely still and prayed that they hadn't heard me, but Justin started talking when my sob escaped, and they had no reaction, so I think I am safe.<br /> "I have always thought that you were a she-wolf, Reagan. I am so glad that you came up to my training with your offer, and for us to get extra special time together. If Raven were allowed to move around the pack, I don't think that she would be missing the fact that she is my mate. I scented her today when I got back to the pack and confirmed she is my mate. Per our agreement, I don't mind rejecting her, as I am clearly getting the better sister out of this deal. I would have been embarrassed to have to call that freak of nature my mate" Justin said, and with it, my heart was completely crushed.<br /> These two evil people deserved each other, and I will not waste another tear on his betrayal. He "chose" her, so he can keep her. She will never be faithful to him, and he will not ever be able to trust that their children are his either. She was just doing this to ensure that they become the next Alpha and Luna. She is what he wanted, so she can have him. I am thoroughly disgusted by both of them, and I will not allow them to make me sad one more day. I had already decided to get out of this horrible pack, and I will not miss the Silver Blade pack for a second. <br /> "She is your mate? Are you serious? Oh, this is the best" Reagan said as she laughed out in joy at hearing this information. "Justin, why haven't you mentioned this to me before?" Reagan continued.<br /> "I just found out about it earlier today as I have been gone for my training for the last 4 months. I caught my mate's scent and followed it so I could go ahead and reject them. I realized it was coming from the Alpha level, and when I went up and it led me straight to her door, it was really faint, but I sensed it. She doesn't even know it yet. I am sure that this information is not going to go over well with your parents. They may be upset when they find out. Are they still going to want us to move forward with our plan? Or are they going to want me and Raven to be mates because we are true mates?" Justin asked Reagan. I have to admit, I was interested in her reply as well, but I already suspected what the answer was going to be.<br /> "Oh no Justin, you will definitely be staying with me. I know dad is really going to get a kick out of you and Raven being mates. Mom might feel a little bad for her, but I think that this is great. I could not be happier that her true mate, will become my chosen mate.<br /> We will rule the Silver Blade pack together, and it will hurt her every day to see us together. It is my pack any way, it was never going to be hers. Maybe if we are lucky since she doesn't have a wolf, she won't be able to scent you, and your rejection might even hurt her when you do it. That would be the best-case scenario for all of us" Reagan said, and I could tell that Justin was a little shocked at how hateful she was. Reagan could tell that Justin was not liking this side of her so she quickly changed her attitude and started cooing at Justin, "She doesn't deserve you, baby, I love you and I want you. Hopefully, you will come to love me too.<br /> I was just worried, I don't want you falling in love with my sister after we have already mated." Reagan said to Justin, looking up at him adoringly through her long lashes. I have to admit, she really knows how to work people to do what she wants them to. Her ability to look innocent and pure is without measure, she could have been an actress.<br /> "Dad hates Raven. He will be very happy about this. He has never loved her since the day that she was born. Mom might be a little upset, but she will get over it. She and dad are chosen mates, she gave up her true mate to become the Luna of the Silver Blade pack. She did it herself, and if it is good enough for her, then it is good enough for me to do it as well. We make the perfect couple. We will have strong pups, and our pack will flourish" Reagan said, and I am stunned. I knew my dad was mean, but to hate me, why? What reason could he possibly have for hating me? My parents have told the whole pack numerous times through the years that they were true mates. They are very affectionate with each other in front of the pack. I didn't even know that they weren't true mates. What else don't I know about them?<br /> "We will do the same thing. You will have to reject Raven first thing in the morning, or after the pack meeting. But you will have to do it where no one else will hear you. Dad is going to tell the pack that we are true mates, so they will fully support us. Dad thinks that it would be a mistake to not have the pack's full support behind us when we go to take it over from my parents" Reagan said, and I am amazed at all the plans that they have kept away from me. Just another thing that shows how much difference there is between Reagan and me. I hear them touching again and wonder when they plan on leaving the area, don't they need to get back to the pack house?<br /> I narrow my eyes at Reagan, as she is ecstatic about getting to truly rub all of my misfortune in right now. Justin is getting the opportunity to reject me, so the situation that we are now in is all positive for them.<br /> "Raven, why are you out of the house? Are you supposed to be out here? Are you OK? That fall looked like it hurt pretty bad" I hear my sister ask me with an innocent look on her face like she cared about me. She was fully aware of how I am kept a prisoner here at the Silver Blade pack. I really have to get out of here. I needed to check and see how badly I am hurt because I don't know if I even have time to go pack a bag now. I may be having to leave here with nothing, but I am OK with that. I just need to get the heck out of here. I will figure out what I need to do after I am safely free of Silver Blade.<br /> "Are you ignoring me, Raven? Are you sure you want to do that to me? Fine then, I will just make sure that you get punished for leaving your room. You are not supposed to be out here anyway. I will just let dad know that you are out here, and he will take care of you" Reagan said with a smirk, and then she started mind linking. <br /> I and my wolf were running away from this pack. But they caught us immediately.<br /> "If you come back here now Raven, I won't punish you for leaving your room without permission" I heard my father tell me. <br /> "Nothing in the world could possess me to do that father," I told him, and I see his eyes glazing over as he goes to link someone. I could care less what they have to say to me, and I turned to walk away. <br /> "You will get punishment in the Blood Walker pack. You know how dangerous they are Raven, you have heard this fact for your whole life. They cannot be trusted, and you are now a rogue. We have told you, and the whole pack, exactly what happens to those who trespass on their land. The moment they scent you they will move in, and you will die today. Is that what you want? Do you want to die? I will get you more freedom in the pack. I will allow you to go to the library every day instead of once a week. How does that sound?" my mother's voice is calming and comforting. She has never before sounded as nice as this, and I know that dad put her up to try to lure me back into the Siler Blade pack. They must be desperate to do it, so I want to see how far they intended to go with it.<br /> "Let me ask you this mother. Was the plan to get Justin to take Reagan as a chosen mate her idea, or dad's?" I asked her. Mom is not a very good liar. I can see her expression as we are only about 20 feet apart from each other right now. <br /> "I don't know what you are talking about Raven, they are mates," my mom said to me, and now I smirk at her. Clearly, mom was keeping me out of the loop and doesn't know that I know for a fact that they aren't.<br /> "Thanks for always lying to me mom. That makes it so much easier on me. I will not be coming back to the Silver Blade pack. This is the last time, Goddess willing, that you all will probably see me and actually I am welcoming the death that is coming to me. It will be better than the life I have lived since Reagan tried to hurt me, and my own dad called me a liar when I told him what actually happened. Justin is not her mate mom, and I know this because he is MY mate. It is disgusting what all you three have done to me and allowed to be done to me my whole life. I never deserved to be treated the way I was. I can only hope that I can find my way and get to live a life that allows me to find someone who loves me and realizes that I am a good person. I don't think that is too much to ask for, do you mom? It seems like you and dad are willing to do anything to get me to come back over the fence, but we both know that if I did come back, I would either immediately be thrown in the cells. So, I will take my chances over here, where at least I have a chance" I told them and turned again to leave. I only made it a few steps before I was stopped again by my father's hateful words.<br /> "You are ungrateful daughter, How do you have the nerve to say that to me? I have clothed and fed you, provided you a room, and let you go to school. I did take care of you, and it is disgusting to see how you repay me. Lying about Justin being your mate. Trying to take your sister's mate away from her. I know that I can speak for your mother as well as myself when I say that we hope the Blood Walker pack disposes of you quickly. I only wish I could punish you myself" my dad roared out, and the hate was coming off of him in waves.<br /> "You disgust me father," I told him and the tone I used to draw out the word father let him know just how little I thought of him being my father. "I have never done anything to cause a problem or disruption in the pack, or in the family. I did what I was told this whole time. Even as knowing that you let the whole pack know that I was fair game if they wanted to hurt me, and they did dad, over and over again. You know what, it was my family that really took the award for the most torment. Your unwarranted hate, mom never supporting me, and my sister allowed to try to hurt me, and incite others up against me made me realize that life will be much better on this side of the border than it was on that side. Even if I only live an hour more, it would be better than the years I spent over there."<br /> I wiped off my tears and walked past them, suddenly, I hear something coming to meโฆ<br /> <br /> <br /> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><br /> Wanna listen more? download our App and check more!

How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Kayan<br /> I was betrayed by two people I trusted implicitly, my best friend and my fiancรฉ, or so i thought.<br /> Without saying a word, I bent down and picked up my phone. By this time Dimitri had donned his boxers and his slim fit navy dress pants. Mariana on the other hand was gripping the white sheet, trying to cover her body and was sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> Normally her tears would have stirred some sort of emotion but I felt absolutely nothing looking at her.<br /> Dimitri stepped towards me with his outstretched hand but I stepped back, and when I spoke my own voice surprised me.<br /> Two words, " How long?". I stared at both of them expectantly. Dimitri sighed and rubbed his face, looking at me with regret.<br /> When no response was forthcoming from him, I turned to Mariana and pinned her with a glare. " Shut up Mariana! I asked a question and I need an answer now!" I shouted.<br /> She pulled her knees to her chest as her body shook in fear, she had only seen me angry once so she knew not to taunt me. Dimitri on the other hand, was stunned.<br /> She looked at me and stuttered in fear " S....si...six months", and hung her head low. I absorbed her reply, laughed hysterically, which caught both of them by surprise. They looked at each other shrugging their shoulders and just as I started laughing suddenly, I stopped abruptly.<br /> "Six months you say? I guess this is the part where you'll say it was a mistake, you never meant to hurt me and you're both sorry right?." I spoke calmly, surprising myself.<br /> Dimitri was first to speak " Kay, please I'm so sorry. We were both tipsy after your work anniversary party,and after I dropped her off, everything went to terrible. I'm so sorry baby but..." I laughed again, cutting him off mid sentence.<br /> I held my hand up then turned to Mariana" What about you bimbo, any last words?" Her eyes bulged in fear and I watched her squirm in fear. She knew I could put a bullet between her eyes even with my eyes closed , thanks to my Dad taking me to the pistol range every Saturday for 2 years.<br /> She sprung to her knees, the sheet fell exposing her and I saw all the hickeys along her neck and on her breasts. "Kay please, let's talk about this. I'm so sorry and I regret this. I'm so sorry for hurting you like this, it wasn't planned."<br /> The nerve of this woman, I thought. I should have listened to my gut all those months ago. She kept thwarting our plans, started traveling a lot and would barely take my video calls then. And she kept changing or bashing my wedding plans and like a fool, I brushed it aside.<br /> Dimitri was the same, one business trip after another, late nights and then he was distant. When I asked him about it, he promised to do better than what he did, but there was a subtle change. We no longer have sleep.<br /> Both of them looked at me expectantly, waiting for the weak, docile Kayan to shed tears and assure them everything would be okay.<br /> I dropped my phone into my bag, grabbed my pistol and clicked the safety off. I swiftly fired two rounds which were followed by agonizing screams. I shot Dimitri in his thigh just inches from his shaft while Mariana got hers in her right shoulder. Just enough to cause pain but not be fatal.<br /> I walked out the room but turned to them saying " That's for the betrayal, I never want to see or hear from either of you again. The next time you won't be so lucky."<br /> I descended the stairs shakily, I touched my face checking for tears but there were none. My chest was convulsing but I refused to give in to the pain I was feeling.<br /> As I got to the last step, I looked around, marched over to the fireplace and threw all photos she had of us together into it. I lifted the stoker, broke her 60" Samsung TV and everything went red from thereon. I trashed her apartment then walked out as if nothing happened.<br /> I grabbed my baseball bat from my trunk, smashed all her windows and doors. Just as I about to leave, I saw Dimitri's Silver Range Rover across the street.<br /> How didn't I notice it before?<br /> I walked up to it and repeated my actions. When I was satisfied, I hopped into my van and drove away.<br /> ---- <br /> Dimitri<br /> I couldn't believe Kayan shot us and simply walked away. I had known her for over 6 years but I never encountered this side of her. I knew I deserved that, worst of all, I ruined the one good thing I had done.<br /> I was thinking with my shaft and not my brain, because in assessing the current situation, Mariana was just a good woman. There is attraction, but the feelings I have for Kayan are deeper.<br /> Her sobs reverberated around the bedroom , bringing me back to the current situation.<br /> When Kayan left the room, I heard her trashing Mariana's apartment downstairs and was about to go after her.<br /> Mariana's words stopped me dead in my tracks, "Leave her be, Dimitri, she will kill you! She needs to calm down first before we approach her." I turned to her slowly, trying to ignore the pain and blood gushing from my wound.<br /> "What do you mean Mari? I'm going after her! There is no us. This was a mistake. I need to talk to her!" I ran my hands over my face then slid my belt around my leg making a tourniquet.<br /> She slid off the bed, gripping the sheet with her uninjured shoulder. " Take it from me, we're lucky to be alive! You have never seen her upset or know what she's capable of in this state but I do!" She tiptoed to the door listening for any further sound from downstairs, but was greeted with silence.<br /> Mariana sat on the stairs shaking and crying while gripping her disheveled hair.<br /> The front door was ajar, I moved to lock it but the sight of Mariana's car took my breath away. I looked across the street to mine and it looked even worst.<br /> I shook my head, sighed and turned too quickly, causing a searing pain in the bullet wound.<br /> I called my driver Michael and told him to be quick and discreet.<br /> Mariana got dressed in the meantime while we waited with bated breaths.<br /> Michael arrived in about 10 minutes, his eyes expressed shock but he knew better than to ask any questions.<br /> He drove us to Wyckoff Medical, the only place I knew would be discreet about what happened.<br /> Using the back entrance, we were quickly ushered into separate rooms for assessment.<br /> As I laid on the bed, I felt Dr. Green prodding my wound for the bullet. He's been our family physician since I was a child, so when he asked who I pissed off this time , I sighed and ignored him.<br /> All I could think about was Kayan, she was my everything!<br /> Not anymore you prick, you screwed up and you're lucky to be alive, I shook my head, trying to shake guilt ridden thoughts from my subconscious.<br /> I reminisced on all the times we spent together, the plans we made for our future and our kids. I reflected on how she supported me even when my own father doubted me. She never gave up on me. You shut up Dimitri!<br /> Dr. Green waved his hand above my eyes while calling my name. " Did you hear anything I said just now?" he asked quietly.<br /> I sighed " No, what is it?". My tone was clipped but right now I didn't care, I could apologize later.<br /> He rolled his eyes before continuing "I said there's a detective waiting outside to talk to you, you know it's my duty to report this." He grabbed a scissors and cut the thread, signaling that he had finished stitching my wound.<br /> "You'll live, but stay off your feet for a few days, and use a crutch if you have to move around." Dr. Green bandaged my leg and was about to leave when I stopped him.<br /> "Wait, I apologize for my behavior Doc. Where's the young lady who came in with me? I need to see her now." He looked at me sadly, shook his head and left the room without a word.<br /> My guess is he figured out why Kayan hadn't rushed into the hospital demanding answers. The realization hit me of how I not only disappointed Kayan but everyone close to me, especially my parents. <br /> I must have dosed off from the pain medication I had gotten as I was woken up by Mariana gently shaking my shoulder and calling my name.<br /> Blinking my eyes to adjust to the bright lights, I grabbed the remote and adjusted my bed. Mariana looked terrible, her hair was unkempt and her eyes were swollen. Her right arm was bandaged and now in a sling.<br /> She sat in the chair beside the bed and hung her head low. " I spoke to the police, I told them we were mugged at the apartment as we were trying to finalize wedding arrangements." It was barely a whisper, but I sighed in relief.<br /> "We messed up but I agree, I'll tell them the same thing. Kayan doesn't deserve this." My throat felt hoarse so I reached for a tumbler with water, poured a cup and took several sips.<br /> " I told you we needed to stop Dimitri but you insisted on coming over!" I pinned her with a glare which caused her to shut up immediately.<br /> The nerve of this woman! I laughed coldly before turning to her " Oh so now it's my fault Mar? Surely you weren't complaining when I rammed your wet dripping private part with my shaft right? You never said stop! Anything else I'm forgetting?" My chest was heaving by the time I finished ranting.<br /> I was about to continue but her sobs erupted. She looked at me lost, guilt etched across her face before she stood to leave.<br /> "Look Mar, I'm sorry okay. I just don't know what to do." I held her wrist, my thumb caressing the inside of her hand in a comforting way. "How did she get in though?"<br /> Mariana was trembling as tears streamed down her face. She took a deep breath before she spoke. "I forgot she had a key from over a year ago. She would always check the place when I traveled for a convention or went to see my family."<br /> My mouth opened to speak but no words were forthcoming and they never came as the door banged open, slamming into the wall denting it.<br /> Jumping with fright, we turned to see my very pissed off father and my distraught mother. Before I could utter a word, he spoke," You, get out now and don't let me see your face again!" Mariana jumped in fear and ran from the room sobbing before I could stop her.<br /> "Dad i can explain...." He slammed his hand onto the small table, knocking the tumbler over.<br /> My mom grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down but he flicked her hand away and grabbed my hospital gown roughly, "Explain what exactly Dimitri? How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> "I'm going to fix this Dad, just give me a chance please." I turned towards my mom seeking support but she turned her head away from me. " Mom, please I'm sorry, I'll fix this. I'm gonna make everything right."<br /> My Dad simply scoffed at my words, took my Mom's hands and walked out the door.<br /> The only sound that filled the room was that of the water droplets bouncing on the floor.<br /> ---- <br /> Mariana<br /> I have never been more regretful in my entire life. My head was throbbing non stop, my eyes were puffy from all the tears I'd shed in the past 24 hours. My mind replayed the events and all I could think of, was that I should be dead by Kayan's hands.<br /> My driver dropped me off to the apartment, and as I stepped inside I once again surveyed the damage. Nothing was left untouched, I had to start over but I guess that's the price to pay for stabbing your best friend in the back for six months.<br /> I wanted to stop so many times, I knew it was wrong but Dimitri was like a spirit I couldn't get enough of.<br /> We decided to take the secret to our graves and everything was going great until I saw him a week later at Danny's Cafe. We sat and talked for a while but after an hour when we attempted to leave, the sexual tension was just too much to ignore.<br /> From thereon, we used our lunch breaks and any free time we could muster to screw each other senseless. After each encounter, we'd say it was the last time , but that never happened as soon after I took trips when he did or he came to my apartment before going home.<br /> All this time, I gave Kayan a million excuses as to why we couldn't meet up, continued planning her wedding virtually and offered excuses when she whined about Dimitri being overly consumed by work.<br /> I even ended things with my own boyfriend as our relationship became strained and miserable because of my infidelity.<br /> Now this is the endgame, I lost my best friend who always stood by me and I'm pretty sure Dimitri and I have no future.<br /> Sitting on the stairs, I decided to take a leap of faith and call Kayan. If I could just get her to listen to me for a second, I would tell her how sorry I am and try to fix things.<br /> As I dialed her number, it went directly to voice-mail, and after trying a few more times unsuccessfully, I decided to go see her. I ordered an Uber, waiting outside for a few minutes before the car pulled up.<br /> I got in, gave the driver her address and stared blankly out the window. The only sounds were that of the music playing in the dashboard.<br /> Ten minutes later, I was standing on the curb outside Kayan's townhouse. Hesitantly, I opened the gate, trudged up the steps and rang the bell. I was there waiting for a few minutes, I called her but there was no response.<br /> I walked to the garden by the lamp post where she always hid a spare key. It was gone.<br /> Just as I was about to step from the yard, I was stopped in my tracks by a faint voice. My hopes increased but when I turned around expecting Kayan, no one was there.<br /> What was that then, I thought to myself.<br /> I reopened the Uber app, placed my request and waited by the curb.<br /> "She's not here you know." I was startled by the voice and was relieved to see her neighbor Michael.<br /> "What do you mean? Where is she?" I asked hurriedly.<br /> He eyed me suspiciously before replying,<br /> "Seeing you here looking like poop tells me you had a role in Kay's sudden departure 2 hours ago." His words were true yet hurtful, I castedmy eyes down in shame.<br /> "You don't know, Mike, just tell me where she went, I need to talk to her before it's too late" I begged him.<br /> The prick was nonchalant as he leant against her gate typing away on his phone. After getting a ping, indicating a message, he looked up at me smirking.<br /> "Well if you must know, my girl left for England indefinitely..." he paused, struggling to hold back a snicker, "...Oh and she says you should go yourself or Dimatro, whatever the pretty boy's name is." Michael was now clutching his side laughing hysterically while I sighed in defeat.<br /> She's gone! And now there's no way I will find her because I can't go to her family and I'm pretty sure she's already changed her number!<br /> I didn't warrant Michael a response since the Uber pulled up, I hopped in and left.<br /> My phone began vibrating in my pocket and I grabbed it quickly, just hoping it would be Kayan. I was disappointed as Dimitri's name flashed on the screen.<br /> "What do you want Dimitri? Haven't we done enough, didn't you hear what your father said?" I shouted angrily, catching sight of the driver's raised brows in the rear view mirror.<br /> "Calm down Mari, I wanted to apologize for my Dad. I'm getting discharged now so I'm heading home, I need to sort things out with Kay." Though I had wanted the same thing minutes ago, I couldn't help the pang of jealousy that gripped me.<br /> Before I could stop myself I snarled in response<br /> "Thanks for asking how I'm doing you prick! Oh and don't bother going there because she's gone!"<br /> "What are you talking about Mari! This is not the time to joke with me..." I'd had enough of his nonsense so I cut him mid sentence " Kay's gone Dimitri, I just left the house, she's not home and her neighbor says she left for England." The other end of the line was silent.<br /> I looked at the screen to see if the call had been disconnected but the line was still open.<br /> "Dimitri?" He sighed in response and I heard him grunt in pain, perhaps moving too quickly on his injured leg.<br /> "I'm here Mari. How will I fix things if I don't know where to find her? Of all the places, she had to chose England!? Couldn't she have just gone to her parents? What am I going to do now?"<br /> I wanted to speak but my throat felt as if it was clogged.<br /> I cut the call, switched to airplane mode and rested my head against the window as fresh salty tears rolled down my cheeks.<br /> I lost everything.<br /> My best friend. Dimitri . And a family who accepted me without judgement and showed me nothing but love all these years. | Wha002 | 29 | https://facebook.com/61554783541379 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | 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! | What2628-eng | 79 | https://facebook.com/100093514056404 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

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?

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." | ForFun-120 | 72 | https://facebook.com/61554751622817 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

"You're too hot, babe. This first time is going to be way too quick, but I'll make it up to you, okay? I'll have you screaming my name all night Casey"<br /> Casey?<br /> He thought I was Casey.<br /> Tears flooded down my face at my naรฏve stupidity and humiliation.<br /> ____________<br /> <br /> The unthinkable had happened.<br /> Wren had noticed me.<br /> I'd been pining after him for four years, since I was fifteen, and his lopsided grin sent my stomach flooding with butterflies. I don't know what had changed, but I wasn't about to question it. My heart thumped in my chest as he walked me towards his bed, his hands busy at the buttons of my dress. He hadn't even looked at me, barely spoke to me, and I could smell the whiskey on his breath. Despite that, I was here. I squeaked as I landed with my back on the bed, Wren's weight pushing me further into the mattress. I wrapped my legs around him, glorying in the feeling of his lips on my neck and his hand sliding under my bra. My tongue was in knots in my mouth. There were no words to describe the heightened sensation of being so close to Wren right now. His stubble scraped my neck, and I swallowed a whimper.<br /> I'd dreamed about this moment for years, never, ever thinking I would get a chance. He'd always seemed blinded by my cousin Casey, and I couldn't blame him. Casey was vivacious and fiery. Her long blonde hair was identical to mine but combined with her gorgeous face and vibrant personality? There wasn't any space for people to notice me. Especially not the man who I had wanted the most. Wren was quieter than most of the members of Sleepless Knights MC, and I'd always been drawn to his intense presence, noticeable even when he wasn't saying a word. He was 24 but he fit in more with the old fellas of the club, shooting the piss with them, content to drink and soak up the vibes, rather than party hard like the members his age. I'd felt lucky just being his friend. He was my movie buddy, both of us loving the big screen. I soaked up every lick of the attention he gave me, knowing it wasn't anything but friendship on his end. Did it hurt when he took some of the club girls to his room? Absolutely, but he didn't owe me anything, and I had hoped this crush would fade in time. But it only grew and when Wren started hanging around Casey, like a dog begging for a scrap? I felt like my heart would shatter. But at the family gathering tonight, he'd approached me. I was washing up dishes in the kitchen when he'd pressed against me, growling in my ear and inviting me into his bed. I had frozen, too scared to respond. He'd stuck his nose in my hair, free from it's bun for once. I'd nodded, still too scared to even look at him, to realize this wasn't a dream.<br /> Back in the present and on the bed, I moaned as he nipped my papilla through my bra, his hands sliding up my thighs to inch down my panties. The room was murky black, and through the veil of darkness I felt wanton for the first time. Wren turned me over, so I was on my hands and knees, his fingers touching every inch of me.<br /> "I've imagined this so many times," he said huskily, pushing my dress up over my hip and settling behind me. My lungs seized as he ran his shaft down the wet slit of my private part. He'd thought about sleeping me? Had he wanted me to? My heart swelled with the thought of Wren desiring me.<br /> "I'm about to bust," he muttered hurriedly. "You're too hot, babe. This first time is going to be way too quick, but I'll make it up to you, okay? I'll have you screaming my name all night Casey"<br /> Casey?<br /> The searing stab of realization strangled my chest as Wren thrust inside me. The emotional and physical pain sent my hands folding and my front half collapsed on the bed. I gasped in agony as Wren pounded into me, taking my first time like a rutting animal. I squeezed my eyes shut, biting my tongue so hard that the taste of iron flooded my mouth.<br /> He thought I was Casey.<br /> Tears flooded down my face at my naรฏve stupidity and humiliation.<br /> "Christ, babe, you feel like heaven. Never had a private part this tight before," Wren panted, picking up the pace of his thrust. Each move of his hips sent a wave of pain through me. I'd been wet, but not enough to take a shaft for the first time. If there was a inferno, I was surely in it, burning to a crisp. Wren groaned behind me, slamming his hips against me as he came. I felt his release flood my insides and sobbed once more. He wasn't even wearing protection? I wasn't on birth control. What if I got pregnant? A myriad of thoughts were racing through my mind when Wren pulled out of me unceremoniously and flipped on the light. I didn't want to move. I knew I was about to be even more humiliated than I thought possible. But Wren took the decision from my hands when Wren swore.<br /> "Did I hurt you, Casey? There's blood on my shaft" He raced over to me, and I turned to look at him, my eyes blurry with tears.<br /> "It's not Casey," I whispered miserably, wanting to sink through the hole in the floor. The high climb I made when I thought Wren had wanted me back was turning into a careening descent to the ground. I wiped my face, pulling my dress to cover my aching body. It felt like I was bruising on the inside. Wren's face warped in horror and he spun around, grabbing his jeans and shoving them on like he didn't want me to see his body.<br /> "Taylor? What the heck? Oh my god this can't be happening to me," he moaned, pacing in front of me. I curled over, his blatant disgust carving out my heart a little more. "I-I-I didn't know it was you," he slurred. Looking at him now, it was obvious he was trashed. His eyes were red rimmed and glazed.<br /> "That was obvious, when you called me another woman's name," I said through gritted teeth, my arm banding around my stomach to stem to nausea I was feeling. I couldn't say Casey. I would dissolve into a puddle of tears. Wren was tugging on his sandy hair in frustration, looking at the floor.<br /> "I thought you were Casey" he mumbled before directing an accusing look at me "You never wear your hair down. I was confused and drunk! I just assumed, with her beautiful long hairโ" he bit off with a hiss through his teeth, oblivious to the way his words were further destroying me. He'd thought I was Casey because I had my hair down for once? "This never should have happened, god, I would never have touched you if I realized it was you"<br /> I grunted at the blow, hurt, but he kept speaking.<br /> "You can't tell Casey about this alright? I don't want to ruin my chances with her and if she knows I have intercourse with her cousin, she'll be furious"<br /> I swallowed the bile that rose in my throat, never feeling so low and disgusting in all my life. At least no-one else would know about this mortifying experience.<br /> "I-I won't say anything," I said finally, and Wren blew out a relieved sigh. He gave me a tremulous, lopsided smile, and I wanted to disappear.<br /> "Good, great, we'll just pretend this never happened. It was a mistake, obviously."<br /> Obviously.<br /> Having intercourse with me was a mistake, never to be repeated, never to be spoken of again. I couldn't answer, my throat too tight. Wren kneeled in front of me, his fingers tentatively pulling my dress together. His fingers were shaking. God, he reeked of whiskey. I had a moment of hope that perhaps he wouldn't remember this in the morning.<br /> "It'd be best if you left, before anyone notices. Hopefully, no-one heard anything," he murmured, wincing as I stared at him in disbelief. He'd took my first time away, thinking I was my cousin and now he knew it wasn't he was tossing me out before anyone could see his colossal mistake. I could see the red rims around his eyes. He still looked handsome, even disheveled, like he was. I moved, my face crumpling as pain shot through me.<br /> "Can I clean up first?" I said, in a small voice that I didn't recognize. He leaped to his feet, looking chagrined.<br /> "Oh yeah, ahhh" he darted over to the chest of drawers and pulled out some wet wipes. He proffered them with an awkward look. "Will these do?" he asked.<br /> I nodded wordlessly, taking the wipes with a limp hand. I paused as I drew them to the smeared blood on my inner thigh. I shot Wren a dark look.<br /> "Can I have some privacy? I'll let myself out," I said.<br /> "Of course, yeah, better if I come out on my own" he rubbed the back of his neck and snagged his shirt from the ground. His fingers lingered on the doorknob.<br /> "Taylor, you were a virgin, weren't you?" he whispered, almost like he didn't want the answer. I blinked my eyes, forcing the tears that gathered to fall onto the ruined material of my dress.<br /> "What does it matter" I muttered and scrubbed. The sound of the door opening and snicking closed was like a clap in my ears. Another rejection. God, I wanted to crawl out of my skin, to escape this messy room and go back to when I had thought Wren was a guy worthy of my crush. But as I wiped up the mess Wren had left, I knew it was a lie. I wasn't enough for him. I might have had hair like Casey but that was it. But Wren wasn't good enough for me either, and I would never let myself feel this way again.<br /> <br /> One Month Later<br /> I was working behind the bar on a Friday night, things were getting rowdy. I angled my body so I wouldn't have to look in the corner where I knew Wren, or rather Wings, was. I had to stop thinking of him as anything but his road name. Whatever love I felt for him had been crushed to death under the grinding heel of his rejection. I wasn't going to embarrass myself further, even though the wound was still healing. <br /> I knew that if I looked over, I would see Casey was sitting on his lap and I could hear her melodic laugh filtering through the raucous room. She'd asked me to cover her shift again, because she felt sick but still had the nerve to show up here and pretend like she had miraculously recovered. <br /> They looked good together and Wings sure seemed happy. He got what he wanted in the end, the girl he'd imagined so many times. I was getting there, every day I felt a little better. Big part of that had to do with Jade. The new club girl who helped behind the bar and had burst into my life at almost the same time as Wings had obliterated me. She'd seen me where no-one else had ever noticed me. <br /> She stuck to me like a barnacle, not accepting that I wanted space to wallow and sink further into disgust. She made me laugh; she dragged me out of the club, and she seemed to see straight through the walls I was determined to put up. If I hadn't had Jade, I don't know what I would do. She shot me a wink from the other side of the bar, shaking her hip as she polished a glass.<br /> "Come on, Tay, let me see that tush jiggle!" she hollered over to me, sending some guys at the bar into hoots of laughter. I wasn't like that. I didn't dance like no-one was watching. I didn't dance at all. A flare of rebellion fired through me, making my spine snap straight in defiance. Everyone in this bar, besides Jade and maybe my Aunty Coral, thought of me as this timid, withdrawn girl. Not worth looking at, not worth any time at all. I placed the pint I'd been pouring on the bar and lifted my hand to my tightly wound hair. I glared at Jade, shaking my head as she whooped and hollered, encouraging me. My long blonde hair tumbled around my shoulders. I flipped my head back, letting it fall out like a fan before bracing myself on the sink and grinding down to the floor.<br /> Jade fanned herself, racing over to circle her arms around my waist. I let the laughter that bubbled up spill out, and Jade gave me a hard smack to my hip. "You show em girl," she whispered in my ear, laughing huskily. Jade didn't know what had happened to me, but she'd been there a week ago when I got my period. An intense mixture of relief and rage, that he had reduced me to this. I'd cried in her arms, words escaping me. While Wings was curled up with Casey in his room, it reminded again me of that horrific night. A throat cleared behind us.<br /> "What's it take to get a drink around here" teased a familiar voice. I stiffened, and Jade let go of me, her eyes narrowing slightly. She didn't know what had happened between Wings and me, but she had made assumptions. I hadn't told anyone a word about what had happened, and I never would. It was hard enough that I had to see his face almost every day. His green eyes creased as he aimed that lopsided smile my way. My heart flipped at the sight of it, sickeningly weak even after his utter ravaging.<br /> "What can I getcha Wings?" I said, knowing he wanted a whiskey, but refusing to get it for him without him asking, like I had in the past. I wasn't his girl, and we weren't friends. I needed to stop catering for him in any small way. He had to become like all the other guys in the club, unable to affect me. His throat bobbed and forehead creased, the smile faltering just a little before turning full wattage.<br /> "Aw Tay, it's weird hearing you call me by my road name," he huffed a laugh, surprised I didn't join in. I folded my arms and raised my eyebrow. What had happened between us had destroyed any semblance of friendship between us, but it seemed like Wings didn't get it. The last month he'd tried to talk to me like he had in the past, like he hadn't irrevocably changed me, destroyed me.<br /> "Jeez Wings, what else would she call you?" Casey purred as she slid in beside him. She looked so beautiful tonight. Her long hair was sleek down her back. She winked a big blue eye at me. Wings startled, coughing and stuttering. I rolled my eyes, pouring out the whiskey I knew he wanted and a shot of spirits for Casey. Anything to get this awkward encounter over.<br /> "You should wear your hair down more often, Tay," Casey said, wincing as she slammed the empty shot glass back on the bar. "It makes you look like my twin! These bikers might take an interest"<br /> Casey gave me a wide smile, unaware that her words were like a gut punch. I felt Wings boring a hole into the side of my face. His intense gaze brought heat to my cheeks, and I gathered my hair up, winding it into a tight bun on my head.<br /> "There's only one Casey, cuz, I'm a cheap imitation," I said, my mouth filled with bitterness.<br /> Casey laughed like I'd said a joke, and Jade elbowed me in the side as she passed me.<br /> "I heard that," she hissed. "Don't be talking something bad about my best friend," she added.<br /> "That ninja franchise you like has a new movie out, going to go see it tomorrow." Wings said gruffly, and I cursed him. Why did he have to keep pushing this? He'd invited me to the movies with him a few weeks ago and I hadn't even answered, turning on my heel and walking away. How could he think I would want to spend one second around him after what he did?<br /> "Hope you guys enjoy it," I said, flicking a look at him for a brief second. It was all I could handle, and I was reaching my limit. Interactions with Wings had to be few and far in between and short. Too much and I felt like my chest was going to cave in.<br /> "I'm not seeing a movie on a Saturday night, Wings," Casey admonished him, smacking him lightly with her hand. "You'd think you were an old man. You should go with him, Taylor. You love that, right?"<br /> "No!" I blurted out, my cheeks flushing even redder as Casey eyed me strangely. I didn't look at Wings, but I could feel the burn of his stare again. "I've got plans," I added quickly.<br /> I didn't, but I would have to find something to do now.<br /> "Yeah? What are you up to?" Casey said, sounding suspicious. She knew I preferred to stay home, chill on my down time. I lived with my uncle and my bedroom was across from hers, so she knew exactly if I was lying. I looked down at the end of the bar, but there was no-one waiting on a drink and I had to think of something. There was no way I was going to the movies with Wings. I never would again.<br /> "We're going dancing, ain't that right, Tay?" Jade said, bumping her hip with mine.<br /> Casey perked up, a glint of excitement entering her eyes. I chanced a glance at Wings and saw he was tense, his hands curled into fists on the bar.<br /> "Where?" he said. "You could dance here" he motioned to the group of club girls who were gyrating in the corner to an audience of bikers.<br /> "Think the club girls would be jealous seeing Tay dolled up like they are," Jade laughed, pointing at Mina with her tiny bralette and short denim shorts.<br /> "Tay'd never wear something like that," Wings scoffed, and I clenched my jaw as Casey agreed with him. "She's too vanilla," Casey added, matter-of-fact and without a lick of malice. She truly thought that was what I was, a boring, cheaper version of her. And I was. Swathed in an oversized hoodie and boyfriend jeans. I'd dressed for comfort, and out of habit. <br /> After Wings had swiped through my meagre self confidence, I'd backslid into the shadows, doing whatever I could to keep anyone from seeing me. They'd see nothing worthwhile anyway, so why try? Trying got you covered in releasing and blood on the bed of someone who gagged at the sight of you.<br /> "Can you check the storeroom? I think we need another case of beers soon," Jade said casually, as I stood there, melting in self-loathing. Vanilla, boring, and forgettable. That was the Taylor Ambor they knew, but as I took the out Jade offered, I felt that hard rod of resolve unfurl down my spine as I walked away. I didn't have to be that person they'd allotted me. I was more than their shallow opinions of me.<br /> Why did I work at this MC when I was old enough to do my own thing? Habit and fear, and until a month ago it had been worth the crumbs Wings would inadvertently sprinkle on me. The lopsided smiles would light my whole day up, especially if he'd talked to me. The times we'd gone to the movies? That was like mainlining a hard dope. I would smile like a doped-out fiend for a week after that.<br /> It was sad.<br /> I was depressing. I was wasting my time here. I leaned on the shelves and blew out a deep breath.<br /> It was time to make some big changes. | Ory004 | 5 | https://facebook.com/61554098218435 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

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. 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.

"You're too hot, babe. This first time is going to be way too quick, but I'll make it up to you, okay? I'll have you screaming my name all night Casey"<br /> Casey?<br /> He thought I was Casey.<br /> Tears flooded down my face at my naรฏve stupidity and humiliation.<br /> ____________<br /> <br /> The unthinkable had happened.<br /> Wren had noticed me.<br /> I'd been pining after him for four years, since I was fifteen, and his lopsided grin sent my stomach flooding with butterflies. I don't know what had changed, but I wasn't about to question it. My heart thumped in my chest as he walked me towards his bed, his hands busy at the buttons of my dress. He hadn't even looked at me, barely spoke to me, and I could smell the whiskey on his breath. Despite that, I was here. I squeaked as I landed with my back on the bed, Wren's weight pushing me further into the mattress. I wrapped my legs around him, glorying in the feeling of his lips on my neck and his hand sliding under my bra. My tongue was in knots in my mouth. There were no words to describe the heightened sensation of being so close to Wren right now. His stubble scraped my neck, and I swallowed a whimper.<br /> I'd dreamed about this moment for years, never, ever thinking I would get a chance. He'd always seemed blinded by my cousin Casey, and I couldn't blame him. Casey was vivacious and fiery. Her long blonde hair was identical to mine but combined with her gorgeous face and vibrant personality? There wasn't any space for people to notice me. Especially not the man who I had wanted the most. Wren was quieter than most of the members of Sleepless Knights MC, and I'd always been drawn to his intense presence, noticeable even when he wasn't saying a word. He was 24 but he fit in more with the old fellas of the club, shooting the piss with them, content to drink and soak up the vibes, rather than party hard like the members his age. I'd felt lucky just being his friend. He was my movie buddy, both of us loving the big screen. I soaked up every lick of the attention he gave me, knowing it wasn't anything but friendship on his end. Did it hurt when he took some of the club girls to his room? Absolutely, but he didn't owe me anything, and I had hoped this crush would fade in time. But it only grew and when Wren started hanging around Casey, like a dog begging for a scrap? I felt like my heart would shatter. But at the family gathering tonight, he'd approached me. I was washing up dishes in the kitchen when he'd pressed against me, growling in my ear and inviting me into his bed. I had frozen, too scared to respond. He'd stuck his nose in my hair, free from it's bun for once. I'd nodded, still too scared to even look at him, to realize this wasn't a dream.<br /> Back in the present and on the bed, I moaned as he nipped my papilla through my bra, his hands sliding up my thighs to inch down my panties. The room was murky black, and through the veil of darkness I felt wanton for the first time. Wren turned me over, so I was on my hands and knees, his fingers touching every inch of me.<br /> "I've imagined this so many times," he said huskily, pushing my dress up over my hip and settling behind me. My lungs seized as he ran his shaft down the wet slit of my private part. He'd thought about sleeping me? Had he wanted me to? My heart swelled with the thought of Wren desiring me.<br /> "I'm about to bust," he muttered hurriedly. "You're too hot, babe. This first time is going to be way too quick, but I'll make it up to you, okay? I'll have you screaming my name all night Casey"<br /> Casey?<br /> The searing stab of realization strangled my chest as Wren thrust inside me. The emotional and physical pain sent my hands folding and my front half collapsed on the bed. I gasped in agony as Wren pounded into me, taking my first time like a rutting animal. I squeezed my eyes shut, biting my tongue so hard that the taste of iron flooded my mouth.<br /> He thought I was Casey.<br /> Tears flooded down my face at my naรฏve stupidity and humiliation.<br /> "Christ, babe, you feel like heaven. Never had a private part this tight before," Wren panted, picking up the pace of his thrust. Each move of his hips sent a wave of pain through me. I'd been wet, but not enough to take a shaft for the first time. If there was a inferno, I was surely in it, burning to a crisp. Wren groaned behind me, slamming his hips against me as he came. I felt his release flood my insides and sobbed once more. He wasn't even wearing protection? I wasn't on birth control. What if I got pregnant? A myriad of thoughts were racing through my mind when Wren pulled out of me unceremoniously and flipped on the light. I didn't want to move. I knew I was about to be even more humiliated than I thought possible. But Wren took the decision from my hands when Wren swore.<br /> "Did I hurt you, Casey? There's blood on my shaft" He raced over to me, and I turned to look at him, my eyes blurry with tears.<br /> "It's not Casey," I whispered miserably, wanting to sink through the hole in the floor. The high climb I made when I thought Wren had wanted me back was turning into a careening descent to the ground. I wiped my face, pulling my dress to cover my aching body. It felt like I was bruising on the inside. Wren's face warped in horror and he spun around, grabbing his jeans and shoving them on like he didn't want me to see his body.<br /> "Taylor? What the heck? Oh my god this can't be happening to me," he moaned, pacing in front of me. I curled over, his blatant disgust carving out my heart a little more. "I-I-I didn't know it was you," he slurred. Looking at him now, it was obvious he was trashed. His eyes were red rimmed and glazed.<br /> "That was obvious, when you called me another woman's name," I said through gritted teeth, my arm banding around my stomach to stem to nausea I was feeling. I couldn't say Casey. I would dissolve into a puddle of tears. Wren was tugging on his sandy hair in frustration, looking at the floor.<br /> "I thought you were Casey" he mumbled before directing an accusing look at me "You never wear your hair down. I was confused and drunk! I just assumed, with her beautiful long hairโ" he bit off with a hiss through his teeth, oblivious to the way his words were further destroying me. He'd thought I was Casey because I had my hair down for once? "This never should have happened, god, I would never have touched you if I realized it was you"<br /> I grunted at the blow, hurt, but he kept speaking.<br /> "You can't tell Casey about this alright? I don't want to ruin my chances with her and if she knows I have intercourse with her cousin, she'll be furious"<br /> I swallowed the bile that rose in my throat, never feeling so low and disgusting in all my life. At least no-one else would know about this mortifying experience.<br /> "I-I won't say anything," I said finally, and Wren blew out a relieved sigh. He gave me a tremulous, lopsided smile, and I wanted to disappear.<br /> "Good, great, we'll just pretend this never happened. It was a mistake, obviously."<br /> Obviously.<br /> Having intercourse with me was a mistake, never to be repeated, never to be spoken of again. I couldn't answer, my throat too tight. Wren kneeled in front of me, his fingers tentatively pulling my dress together. His fingers were shaking. God, he reeked of whiskey. I had a moment of hope that perhaps he wouldn't remember this in the morning.<br /> "It'd be best if you left, before anyone notices. Hopefully, no-one heard anything," he murmured, wincing as I stared at him in disbelief. He'd took my first time away, thinking I was my cousin and now he knew it wasn't he was tossing me out before anyone could see his colossal mistake. I could see the red rims around his eyes. He still looked handsome, even disheveled, like he was. I moved, my face crumpling as pain shot through me.<br /> "Can I clean up first?" I said, in a small voice that I didn't recognize. He leaped to his feet, looking chagrined.<br /> "Oh yeah, ahhh" he darted over to the chest of drawers and pulled out some wet wipes. He proffered them with an awkward look. "Will these do?" he asked.<br /> I nodded wordlessly, taking the wipes with a limp hand. I paused as I drew them to the smeared blood on my inner thigh. I shot Wren a dark look.<br /> "Can I have some privacy? I'll let myself out," I said.<br /> "Of course, yeah, better if I come out on my own" he rubbed the back of his neck and snagged his shirt from the ground. His fingers lingered on the doorknob.<br /> "Taylor, you were a virgin, weren't you?" he whispered, almost like he didn't want the answer. I blinked my eyes, forcing the tears that gathered to fall onto the ruined material of my dress.<br /> "What does it matter" I muttered and scrubbed. The sound of the door opening and snicking closed was like a clap in my ears. Another rejection. God, I wanted to crawl out of my skin, to escape this messy room and go back to when I had thought Wren was a guy worthy of my crush. But as I wiped up the mess Wren had left, I knew it was a lie. I wasn't enough for him. I might have had hair like Casey but that was it. But Wren wasn't good enough for me either, and I would never let myself feel this way again.<br /> <br /> One Month Later<br /> I was working behind the bar on a Friday night, things were getting rowdy. I angled my body so I wouldn't have to look in the corner where I knew Wren, or rather Wings, was. I had to stop thinking of him as anything but his road name. Whatever love I felt for him had been crushed to death under the grinding heel of his rejection. I wasn't going to embarrass myself further, even though the wound was still healing. <br /> I knew that if I looked over, I would see Casey was sitting on his lap and I could hear her melodic laugh filtering through the raucous room. She'd asked me to cover her shift again, because she felt sick but still had the nerve to show up here and pretend like she had miraculously recovered. <br /> They looked good together and Wings sure seemed happy. He got what he wanted in the end, the girl he'd imagined so many times. I was getting there, every day I felt a little better. Big part of that had to do with Jade. The new club girl who helped behind the bar and had burst into my life at almost the same time as Wings had obliterated me. She'd seen me where no-one else had ever noticed me. <br /> She stuck to me like a barnacle, not accepting that I wanted space to wallow and sink further into disgust. She made me laugh; she dragged me out of the club, and she seemed to see straight through the walls I was determined to put up. If I hadn't had Jade, I don't know what I would do. She shot me a wink from the other side of the bar, shaking her hip as she polished a glass.<br /> "Come on, Tay, let me see that tush jiggle!" she hollered over to me, sending some guys at the bar into hoots of laughter. I wasn't like that. I didn't dance like no-one was watching. I didn't dance at all. A flare of rebellion fired through me, making my spine snap straight in defiance. Everyone in this bar, besides Jade and maybe my Aunty Coral, thought of me as this timid, withdrawn girl. Not worth looking at, not worth any time at all. I placed the pint I'd been pouring on the bar and lifted my hand to my tightly wound hair. I glared at Jade, shaking my head as she whooped and hollered, encouraging me. My long blonde hair tumbled around my shoulders. I flipped my head back, letting it fall out like a fan before bracing myself on the sink and grinding down to the floor.<br /> Jade fanned herself, racing over to circle her arms around my waist. I let the laughter that bubbled up spill out, and Jade gave me a hard smack to my hip. "You show em girl," she whispered in my ear, laughing huskily. Jade didn't know what had happened to me, but she'd been there a week ago when I got my period. An intense mixture of relief and rage, that he had reduced me to this. I'd cried in her arms, words escaping me. While Wings was curled up with Casey in his room, it reminded again me of that horrific night. A throat cleared behind us.<br /> "What's it take to get a drink around here" teased a familiar voice. I stiffened, and Jade let go of me, her eyes narrowing slightly. She didn't know what had happened between Wings and me, but she had made assumptions. I hadn't told anyone a word about what had happened, and I never would. It was hard enough that I had to see his face almost every day. His green eyes creased as he aimed that lopsided smile my way. My heart flipped at the sight of it, sickeningly weak even after his utter ravaging.<br /> "What can I getcha Wings?" I said, knowing he wanted a whiskey, but refusing to get it for him without him asking, like I had in the past. I wasn't his girl, and we weren't friends. I needed to stop catering for him in any small way. He had to become like all the other guys in the club, unable to affect me. His throat bobbed and forehead creased, the smile faltering just a little before turning full wattage.<br /> "Aw Tay, it's weird hearing you call me by my road name," he huffed a laugh, surprised I didn't join in. I folded my arms and raised my eyebrow. What had happened between us had destroyed any semblance of friendship between us, but it seemed like Wings didn't get it. The last month he'd tried to talk to me like he had in the past, like he hadn't irrevocably changed me, destroyed me.<br /> "Jeez Wings, what else would she call you?" Casey purred as she slid in beside him. She looked so beautiful tonight. Her long hair was sleek down her back. She winked a big blue eye at me. Wings startled, coughing and stuttering. I rolled my eyes, pouring out the whiskey I knew he wanted and a shot of spirits for Casey. Anything to get this awkward encounter over.<br /> "You should wear your hair down more often, Tay," Casey said, wincing as she slammed the empty shot glass back on the bar. "It makes you look like my twin! These bikers might take an interest"<br /> Casey gave me a wide smile, unaware that her words were like a gut punch. I felt Wings boring a hole into the side of my face. His intense gaze brought heat to my cheeks, and I gathered my hair up, winding it into a tight bun on my head.<br /> "There's only one Casey, cuz, I'm a cheap imitation," I said, my mouth filled with bitterness.<br /> Casey laughed like I'd said a joke, and Jade elbowed me in the side as she passed me.<br /> "I heard that," she hissed. "Don't be talking something bad about my best friend," she added.<br /> "That ninja franchise you like has a new movie out, going to go see it tomorrow." Wings said gruffly, and I cursed him. Why did he have to keep pushing this? He'd invited me to the movies with him a few weeks ago and I hadn't even answered, turning on my heel and walking away. How could he think I would want to spend one second around him after what he did?<br /> "Hope you guys enjoy it," I said, flicking a look at him for a brief second. It was all I could handle, and I was reaching my limit. Interactions with Wings had to be few and far in between and short. Too much and I felt like my chest was going to cave in.<br /> "I'm not seeing a movie on a Saturday night, Wings," Casey admonished him, smacking him lightly with her hand. "You'd think you were an old man. You should go with him, Taylor. You love that, right?"<br /> "No!" I blurted out, my cheeks flushing even redder as Casey eyed me strangely. I didn't look at Wings, but I could feel the burn of his stare again. "I've got plans," I added quickly.<br /> I didn't, but I would have to find something to do now.<br /> "Yeah? What are you up to?" Casey said, sounding suspicious. She knew I preferred to stay home, chill on my down time. I lived with my uncle and my bedroom was across from hers, so she knew exactly if I was lying. I looked down at the end of the bar, but there was no-one waiting on a drink and I had to think of something. There was no way I was going to the movies with Wings. I never would again.<br /> "We're going dancing, ain't that right, Tay?" Jade said, bumping her hip with mine.<br /> Casey perked up, a glint of excitement entering her eyes. I chanced a glance at Wings and saw he was tense, his hands curled into fists on the bar.<br /> "Where?" he said. "You could dance here" he motioned to the group of club girls who were gyrating in the corner to an audience of bikers.<br /> "Think the club girls would be jealous seeing Tay dolled up like they are," Jade laughed, pointing at Mina with her tiny bralette and short denim shorts.<br /> "Tay'd never wear something like that," Wings scoffed, and I clenched my jaw as Casey agreed with him. "She's too vanilla," Casey added, matter-of-fact and without a lick of malice. She truly thought that was what I was, a boring, cheaper version of her. And I was. Swathed in an oversized hoodie and boyfriend jeans. I'd dressed for comfort, and out of habit. <br /> After Wings had swiped through my meagre self confidence, I'd backslid into the shadows, doing whatever I could to keep anyone from seeing me. They'd see nothing worthwhile anyway, so why try? Trying got you covered in releasing and blood on the bed of someone who gagged at the sight of you.<br /> "Can you check the storeroom? I think we need another case of beers soon," Jade said casually, as I stood there, melting in self-loathing. Vanilla, boring, and forgettable. That was the Taylor Ambor they knew, but as I took the out Jade offered, I felt that hard rod of resolve unfurl down my spine as I walked away. I didn't have to be that person they'd allotted me. I was more than their shallow opinions of me.<br /> Why did I work at this MC when I was old enough to do my own thing? Habit and fear, and until a month ago it had been worth the crumbs Wings would inadvertently sprinkle on me. The lopsided smiles would light my whole day up, especially if he'd talked to me. The times we'd gone to the movies? That was like mainlining a hard dope. I would smile like a doped-out fiend for a week after that.<br /> It was sad.<br /> I was depressing. I was wasting my time here. I leaned on the shelves and blew out a deep breath.<br /> It was time to make some big changes. | Ory004 | 5 | https://facebook.com/61554098218435 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

"<br /> "Elliot, what's going on?" I look at him, then at her, and back at him.<br /> He quickly stands up from his seat. "She was just leaving. Weren't you, Clara?<br /> She bats her eyelashes rapidly. "Honey, I think it's time for her to learn the truth. Don't you agree?"<br /> Clara laughs, looking at me. "I'm the woman who slept with him yesterday and the days before."<br /> "Taylor, please let me explain." He has the nerve to plead with me, after what he did.<br /> No. I won't stay here and listen as he tries to find an excuse for what he did. <br /> "Taylor, please. I want to talk to you." He tries again.<br /> "There's nothing to talk about" I snap at him.<br /> <br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> <br /> I take the stairs to go to my apartment. Iโm so lost in my thoughts, that I donโt pay any attention to my surroundings.<br /> "Watch it!โ Someone warns me.<br /> I look up, and a man that I have never seen before is standing right in front of me. He has dark hair cut in a military style and deep blue eyes. I see tattoos on his neck that seem to go all the way down to his torso. I canโt help, but think how handsome he is. I take a step back to put some distance between us.<br /> He must be my new neighbour.<br /> I smile as I present my hand to him. โHello, my name is Taylor Walker. Whatโs yourโs?โ<br /> He glares at me as if Iโm already a nuisance to him. โAnnoyed.โ He let out as he walks past me.<br /> Rude! I say to myself before I keep walking up the stairs.<br /> I unlock the door with my keys and look through my mail. โBills. Bills. Bills.โ I mumble to myself.<br /> I will deal with them later. Right now, all I want is to take a cup of coffee before I put myself pretty for my date with Elliot.<br /> I donโt smoke or drink. My only dope is coffee. I need at least four cups per day, and thatโs when I have a good day.<br /> As I make a cup of coffee for myself, I take a disposable cup to make another one. I donโt know why I even bother with this. So why am I purring a second cup for a man I donโt even know, is beyond me.<br /> Okay, Iโll admit. I didnโt like our first encounter.<br /> I wonder if he takes sugar or milk. He seems like a man that likes his coffee black.<br /> I bite my lips nervously as I pass my threshold.<br /> Why am I doing this again? I ask myself on the way to his apartment.<br /> I know where he leaves. Heโs my next-door neighbour.<br /> I clear my throat as I knock on his door.<br /> No response.<br /> I knock again.<br /> โWhat the freak do you want?โ He snaps at me while he opens his door.<br /> My heart skips a beat. Maybe itโs because of his deep blue eyes that they keep staring at me as if they want to devour my soul or something.<br /> I smile so he wonโt notice how nervous he makes me. โUhmm, I wanted to properly welcome you to the building.โ I give him the cup of coffee that I made for him.<br /> He takes a drag at his cigar, looking at my body all the way up to my eyes. โAre you here, because you want to freak?โ<br /> My jaw drops on the floor. โWhat? No!โ I nearly scream at him.<br /> He chuckles, seeing my reaction. โThatโs what I thought.โ He starts to close the door.<br /> โWait, you could at least tell me your name.โ I wonโt back down, even if his words made me uncountable. I put my hand in my chest to give a little drama. โDonโt tell me that a man at your size is scared by a little woman like myself.โ Itโs my turn to tease him.<br /> Iโm five foot tall, and heโs like six. Heโs a mountain man.<br /> He takes the cup from my hand. โIโm not scared. Thank you for the coffee, buttercup.โ He then closes the door in my face.<br /> Argh!<br /> You donโt get to take my coffee and not answer my question.<br /> I knock on his door harder this time.<br /> โLeave me the freak alone!โ He says, glaring at me.<br /> I shake my head stubbornly. โNot until you tell me your name. Itโs rude otherwise.โ<br /> โYou wonโt leave me the freak alone, is that it?โ He let out a growl. โOwen Blake. Now Piss off!โ Once again he closes the door in my face.<br /> I smirk as I walk back to my place.<br /> I look at the time. โFreak! Iโm going to be late for my date with Elliot. I have to hurry to get ready.โ<br /> I drink my coffee in a hurry and run inside the bathroom to take a shower.<br /> Elliot and I have been together for over a year now. He wants me to move in with him, but I donโt want to. I love my independence and my apartment to give them up.<br /> I brush my teeth after my shower as a towel covers my body.<br /> As I look inside my closet, I wonder what Iโm going to wear. I think Iโm going to go with my green cocktail dress and some black heels. I decided to put light makeup on myself.<br /> I run, hearing my cell phone inside the kitchen. โHello.โ<br /> โHey, baby,โ Elliot says over the phone. โIโm sorry, but I have to reschedule our date. I have an emergency at work that I canโt get out of.โ<br /> I sigh. Itโs not the first time that this has happened.<br /> โI can always come over tomorrow.โ He suggests.<br /> โSure.โ<br /> โI am sorry, but I truly have to go now. See you tomorrow.โ He hung up before I have the chance to say goodbye to him.<br /> I just got dressed for nothing.<br /> I need some air.<br /> I grab my jacket to go upstairs to the rooftop. I love to go there and think.<br /> As I arrive, I stare up at the sky. A full moon is out tonight.<br /> I hear a noise and when I look to where it was coming from, I jump as I see a shadow not far from me.<br /> โRelax, buttercup. Itโs just me.โ He smirks, seeing my reaction.<br /> I put my hand on my chest while my heart beat fast. โGod, Owen. Warn someone before you give them a heart attack.โ<br /> He takes a drag from his cigar, as he keeps staring at me.<br /> Will he stop doing that?<br /> โYou know, one of these days, this will kill you.โ I point at what he has in between his fingers.<br /> He exhales the smoke from his lungs while his eyes try to pierce my soul.<br /> I feel nervous under his stare, but at the same time, I feel drawn to them.<br /> โWho cares how I would die. Eventually, everyone will meet their fate. Not that I care, but where are you going dressing up like that?โ<br /> I look down on myself. โI was supposed to go out on a date with my boyfriend. He cancelled at the last minute. He has an emergency at work.โ<br /> Owen licks his lips. โMaybe heโs screwing with someone as we speak.โ<br /> I cross my arms in front of me, feeling annoyed by him. โWhy are you so mean to me? I never did something to deserve this. Besides, I trust him. He would never do something like that to me.โ<br /> I take a few steps to leave but stop at the last minute. โAll I did was try to be nice to you, and thatโs what I get.โ<br /> He frowns his eyebrows. โI never asked you freak. Itโs not my problem if you canโt handle the truth.โ<br /> โUgh, Iโm leaving,โ I say as I step further away from him.<br /> โGood riddance.โ He says loud enough for me to hear him.<br /> Owenโs words start to hunt me more than they should. I trust Elliot. Heโs a good man. Iโm sure all he wanted was a reaction from me, and he succeeded.<br /> Thatโs all and nothing else.<br /> I trust Elliot. I say one more time.<br /> <br /> I look around my apartment, and Iโm satisfied with the cleaning. Iโm not a clean freak. I just love my apartment to be spotless. While I cleaned my apartment, it distracted me from what happened yesterday.<br /> <br /> Owenโs words still bother me.<br /> <br /> โ<br /> Maybe heโs screwing with someone as we speak.โ<br /> <br /> Ugh! Why did he have to say this?<br /> <br /> I know it isnโt true. I trust Elliot. When we spend time together, he never gives me the impression that heโs cheating. Heโs always a sweetheart.<br /> <br /> Iโm so lost in my thoughts that when the doorโs bell ring, I jump a little.<br /> <br /> โIt must be Elliot,โ I say to myself as I go to answer the door.<br /> <br /> โHey, baby.โ Elliot smiles at me, holding a huge bouquet of red roses in his hands.<br /> <br /> Like I said, a sweetheart.<br /> <br /> I love roses. I think they are pretty, but they arenโt my favourite kind. The flower that I love the most is called sakura in Japanese. Which means cherry blossom.<br /> <br /> โAre those for me?โ I ask him.<br /> <br /> He smirks. โWhy of course. Only the best for my girlfriend.โ<br /> <br /> โWhat did I do to deserve such a gift?โ I play along.<br /> <br /> โDo I need a reason to spoil you?โ He wonders in a playful tone. โI saw them, and I thought of you.โ<br /> <br /> Out of nowhere, someone chuckles behind Elliot. As my boyfriend moves to the side, I see Owen ready to go inside his apartment while he has an arm around a womanโs waist.<br /> <br /> Off course.<br /> <br /> โ<br /> Are you here, because you want to freak?โ<br /> I remember Owen saying those words to me.<br /> <br /> Stop thinking about this, or youโre going to blush in front of him, and FYI you arenโt interested in him. You have a boyfriend so you can forget it. I scold myself.<br /> <br /> โSo this is the boyfriend.โ Owen looks at the flower in Elliotโs hands. Thatโs what I thought.โ He laughs, guiding his guest inside his apartment.<br /> <br /> What did he mean by thatโs what I thought?<br /> <br /> Is he referring to his words from last night?<br /> <br /> Why do I even bother racking my brain over this?<br /> <br /> Owen isnโt worth my time if he's acting like a jerk.<br /> <br /> Elliot clears his throat once we are inside my place. โSo, who was that?โ<br /> <br /> I take the bouquet from his hands. โOwen Blake, my new neighbour.โ<br /> <br /> He nods his head, but he doesnโt seem happy. โWhat did he mean by that what I thought? Did you speak to him?โ<br /> <br /> I open a kitchen cabinet to grab the vase. โHeโs my new neighbour. I couldnโt ignore him.โ<br /> <br /> Even if heโs an hip.<br /> <br /> โSo.โ He rubs his chin with his fingers. โWhat did he mean when he said thatโs what I thought?โ He repeats the question.<br /> <br /> I bite my lips nervously. I donโt know how he will react if I tell him, but I canโt lie to him. That wonโt be fair. Besides, I donโt have anything to hide.<br /> <br /> I pour some water inside the vase. โI told him that you were working late last night, and he said that it was because you were cheating on me. โ<br /> <br /> He frowns. โDid you believe him?โ<br /> <br /> I shake my head. โOf course not. I know you will never do such a thing to me.โ<br /> <br /> He let out a sight. โI donโt like this.โ<br /> <br /> I turn my head to look at him. โYou donโt like what?โ<br /> <br /> He folds his arms in front of him. โHim. He seems dangerous. You should stay clear of him. Better yet, come live with me permanently.โ<br /> <br /> Not this again!<br /> <br /> We already talked about this. He knows exactly where I stand on that matter. How should I put this in words so I wonโt upset his feelings? He barely stepped inside my apartment, and we are already talking about this.<br /> <br /> Yes, we argue sometimes. We are a couple. Everyone argues sometimes.<br /> <br /> I cut the edges of the roses before I put them in the vase. โ We talked about this. Iโm not going to move in with you, just because you dislike my neighbour. Iโm a big girl, I can take care of myself.โ<br /> <br /> Freak!<br /> <br /> Was I too harsh?<br /> <br /> Elliot inhales sharply, nodding his head.<br /> <br /> I know heโs not happy with my answer, but itโs the truth. Iโm not saying. Iโm saying not right now.<br /> <br /> Maybe itโs time to change the subject?<br /> <br /> Before I have the chance to do any of that, I feel Elliotโs arms circling my waist from behind. โIโm sorry, okay? I donโt come here to argue with you.<br /> <br /> Itโs like he read my mind.<br /> <br /> I turn around to bring my arms around his neck. โSo, how was work yesterday?โ<br /> <br /> Elliot makes a face, looking at me. โI donโt want to talk about work when Iโm with you.โ<br /> <br /> Itโs not the answer that I was looking for. I canโt blame him as I didnโt give him the answer that he wanted. So I will put this matter to the side and concentrate on my boyfriend.<br /> <br /> I smile at him. โAnd do tell me, what do you have in mind?โ<br /> <br /> Elliot smirks before he pecks my lips. โTrust me, baby, I have an idea, but first I want us to go out, and then later at my place, I will show you what I have in mind.โ<br /> <br /> Yesterday, I took the time to make myself pretty for our date that didnโt even happen. If he wants to take me out, he will have to take me with what Iโm wearing.<br /> <br /> I move away from him to go grab my purse and my jacket.<br /> <br /> โAre you going to change first?โ He wonders, looking at my body.<br /> <br /> I put my hand on my waist. โAre you saying that what Iโm wearing isnโt good enough for you?<br /> <br /> โNo.โ Heโs quick to say. โIt's just that I love seeing you in a cute little dress.โ<br /> <br /> I cross my arms in front of me. โIf you havenโt ditched me yesterday, you would have seen me into one.โ<br /> <br /> โIt wasnโt my fault. I had an emergency, and you know it.โ His words raise a little as he speaks.<br /> <br /> Thatโs exactly what I wanted to avoid us arguing.<br /> <br /> I go to him and peck him on the cheek. โIโm sorry, okay. I donโt know why I said that. I know it was out of hand on my part. Can we go now?โ<br /> <br /> He leaves a peck on my forehead. โIโm sorry too.โ<br /> <br /> Elliot takes my hand in his to guide us out of my place. I guess he doesnโt want to argue either.<br /> <br /> As we walk, a noise that comes from Owenโs apartment makes me freeze on the spot.<br /> <br /> โYes! Yes! Blake, yes!โ<br /> <br /> I bite my lips. I never screamed this way when Iโm intimate with Elliot. Am I missing something? Iโm not saying that our drill life is boring, Iโve never been so loud.<br /> <br /> Is it me, or does Elliot make us walk faster than necessary?<br /> <br /> I look around after the hostess of the restaurant shows us our table. As I look around, I notice that everyone is wearing nice clothes. We are definitely in a luxury fashion restaurant.<br /> <br /> I should have probably listened to Elliot and worn something nicer.<br /> <br /> Did he do it on purpose?<br /> <br /> No, Iโm sure he didnโt. I donโt even know why it crossed my mind.<br /> <br /> As I sit on the chair, I notice that the woman whoโs sitting to my right is judging me for the way sheโs looking at me. Maybe it has something to do with what Iโm wearing. I feel undressed. Is it as if everyoneโs judging me? I clear my throat, looking at the menu instead.<br /> <br /> Elliot didnโt notice anything. Heโs on the phone with someone from his work. I donโt mind. Iโm used to it by now.<br /> <br /> โNo. No, this isnโt a good idea.โ Elliot frowns as he speaks. He doesnโt seem happy. โWe will deal with this tomorrow.โ He hung up right after.<br /> <br /> I look at him with concern. โIs everything ok?โ<br /> <br /> โMmhmm.โ He mumbles.<br /> <br /> I wonโt push on the matter. If he wants to talk about it, he will.<br /> <br /> A young woman around my age stands beside us. โHello, my name is Lucy. I will be your waitress for tonight. Are you ready to order?โ She asks with a smile on her lips.<br /> <br /> I look through the menu, and even though everything seems delicious. I decided to go with something light. โA Caesar salad for me.โ<br /> <br /> She nods her head, writing it on her pad. โAnything to drink?โ<br /> <br /> I shake my head. โNo. Just water, please.โ<br /> <br /> Lucy turns her intention to my boyfriend. โAnd you, sir?โ<br /> <br /> โIโm going to go with the lamb shanks and a bottle of your finest beverage.โ He closes the menu and gives it to her.<br /> <br /> I let out a sigh. Itโs not that Iโm bothered that he has money, but he doesnโt have to show it every time we go out. He would have brought me to a food truck for our date, and I would still enjoy myself. I donโt need much. Just spending time with him would be enough for me.<br /> <br /> Elliot takes my hand once Lucy leaves with our order. โSo, what did you do today?โ<br /> <br /> I give him a smirk. โI donโt want to talk about work. Wasnโt what you wanted?โ<br /> <br /> He let out a chuckle. โI guess I deserve that.โ<br /> <br /> I look to my right, and the woman from earlier once again is staring at me. The guy thatโs with her is trying to get her intentions, but he falls miserably.<br /> <br /> Poor guy.<br /> <br /> As Elliot looks at the same woman, I notice his expression change for only a second.<br /> <br /> Iโm about to ask him whatโs up with that when Iโm distracted by Lucy as she brings our meals.<br /> <br /> I get up from my seat. โIf youโll excuse me, Iโm going to powder my nose.โ<br /> <br /> Elliot takes my hand to leave a peck on my skin. โOk.โ<br /> <br /> Iโm not going to powder my nose. It was better to say this than say Iโm going to the toilet to do the number one. I have manners.<br /> <br /> Once Iโm finished, I look at my reflection in the mirror. The thing I love the most about me is my hair. At first, you think they are black, but when the light hits them, the brown shines through them.<br /> <br /> As I walk back to my table, I stop on my track. I see the woman from earlier sitting in my seat while she talks with Elliot. He doesnโt seem happy with her presence.<br /> <br /> Whatโs wrong with this picture? I wonder.<br /> <br /> When Elliot sees me approaching them, I see the panic in his eyes.<br /> <br /> Owenโs words from last night replay in my head.<br /> โ<br /> Maybe heโs screwing with someone as we speak.โ<br /> <br /> Am I gullible to think that Elliot isnโt cheating on me? I have to get to the bottom of this before I make any accusations. I could be wrong here. It can be nothing.<br /> <br /> โElliot, whatโs going on?โ I look at him, then at her, and back at him.<br /> <br /> He quickly stands up from his seat. โShe was just leaving. Werenโt you, Clara?<br /> <br /> She bats her eyelashes rapidly. โHoney, I think itโs time for her to learn the truth. Donโt you agree?โ<br /> <br /> I cross my arms in front of me. โAnd who exactly are you?โ<br /> <br /> I suspect whatโs going on.<br /> <br /> Clara laughs, looking at me. โIโm the woman who slept with him yesterday and the days before.โ<br /> <br /> I canโt believe this. He told me that he wasnโt cheating.<br /> <br /> I look around, and everyone is staring at us.<br /> <br /> I canโt believe what is happening.<br /> <br /> โTaylor.โ I hear Elliot says my name.<br /> <br /> I ignore him completely. I go grab my coat and purse to get out of here. On the way out I call a uber company to come and pick me up.<br /> <br /> Once Iโm outside, waiting. Someone grabs my hand, and I know who that is. Iโm quick to remove my hand from his hold.<br /> <br /> โTaylor, please let me explain.โ He has the nerve to plead with me, after what he did.<br /> <br /> No. I wonโt stay here and listen as he tries to find an excuse for what he did. I ignore him completely as I look ahead me.<br /> <br /> โTaylor, please. I want to talk to you.โ He tries again.<br /> <br /> โThereโs nothing to talk aboutโ I snap at him.<br /> <br /> โElliot, there you are.โ Clara joins us outside. โNow that she knows, we can finally be together.โ<br /> <br /> Donโt cry. I say to myself. Not here, and certainly not in front of her.<br /> <br /> He turns to look at her to ask her to leave. An argument between them starts, and thankfully, I see the uber appear on the road.<br /> <br /> Neither of them notices that I get in the uber.<br /> <br /> All I want is to go home. A tear falls down my cheek as I try to keep it at bay. The driver doesnโt seem to be effective in my situation. Iโm sure in his line of work he saw this a lot of times.<br /> <br /> I stand in front of my door with the keys in my hand. I donโt want to go in. Something tells me that Elliot is on his way to talk to me. I donโt want to see him.<br /> <br /> A stupid idea coss my mind.<br /> <br /> Iโm sure that Iโm going to regret this, but for now, itโs my best option. Elliot will never think to search for me there.<br /> <br /> I walk until Iโm in front of Owenโs door and knock on it.<br /> <br /> Freak! Maybe the girl that he was with is still with him.<br /> <br /> Iโm about to turn around as I change my mind when his door opens.<br /> <br /> He frowns at me. โItโs you again.โ<br /> <br /> โIโm sorry to bother you.โ I feel shy under his stare.<br /> <br /> I donโt know why Iโm standing here. I donโt even know the guy. I swallow my pride. โCan I come in, please? I argued with Eliott, and Iโm not ready to face him yet.โ<br /> <br /> To my surprise, he opens his door wider, just enough for me to enter his place. | Red111 | 15 | https://facebook.com/61554959872521 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

You won't talk to me, and every time I get close to you, you scurry away." He put his hands in his pockets.<br /> "Christian, there is nothing to talk about. I don't have time for your gibberish. Don't you have other girls to bother? What can you possibly talk to me about? !" I was losing my cool.<br /> "Natalie, I like you a lot." His eyes were getting dark. That look, there it was again. Desire? "CHRISTIAN!" I yelled. "Spit it out now! What did you come here fโ" Before I could finish my statement, he slammed his lips on me.<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> ~Christian's POV~<br /> Last night I heard my parents talking about Natalie coming home. I knew they were talking about Natalie Adams, the one girl who was untouchable or unapproachable. That vixen thought she was hiding in the shadows but I saw her.<br /> The thing is that she didn't realize how badly guys wanted her. Even if they came up to her it was funny because she would stare at them like they were stupid and her resting b-face said it all. She didn't even have to respond, and because of that they never approached her again. Talk about painted black. I think that was the color of her soul.<br /> The girl was beyond gorgeous. Every time she walked in a classroom or the cafeteria, her dark and mysterious demeanor attracted anyone. She would never know, because when you saw her with her earbuds on, it's as if Natalie was always in her own world.<br /> I wonder where she goes every summer because I never saw her around the pack when school was finished. I was thinking about asking my parents, but that will have to wait.<br /> I was always surrounded or being approached by girls, it never failed. I've slept around and I wasn't ashamed of it because I am an Alpha and an Alpha needs that release. I did have an ex-girlfriend that seemed to not know the meaning of "ex". Elle was always around when I needed an easy contact.<br /> She was Zeo Wilson's sister, our future beta, and was captain of the cheerleader squad. This girl would sometimes scare the other girls away and acted like she owned me. The girl is hot but has a nasty attitude and thinks highly of herself. No shame whatsoever.<br /> Natalie, however, she was the one girl I was profoundly attracted to. I wanted to feel and taste her. She had this strong aura around her and that confused me because I know her parents are warriors, but there was this ambience about her that made me want her more than any other she wolf. Just maybe, maybe she could be my fated mate.<br /> I went on Instagram and just like I assumed, she has her account in private, so you can only see her profile picture. It was a set of earbuds on top of a book in black and white. This girl was fascinating. I wanted to know her so badlyโฆall of her.<br /> I mean come on, who wouldn't want a piece of me. I'm 6 '6, muscular, I have the lightest gray eyes with dirty blonde hair, medium on the top and short sides. I'm every girl's wet dream. I've been told I look like the younger version of Christopher Egan. I'm better looking though.<br /> So I did what I have never done with any other girl. I sent her a friend request on Instagram. "Now the waiting game begins."<br /> ~Natalie POV~<br /> "Pfffsh, no!" He may be attractive, and I won't deny it. After all, I am a girl, and the guy is hot. Every girl may go crazy for him and desire him, but not me. He's a scumbag. His cocky disposition said it all.<br /> He sleeps with anything that has a hole. It's like a stray dog, leave it alone, you don't know where it's been. 'He probably has STDs or something, not to mention where his mouth has been,' Zoe said in disgust. Can't disagree. I know we may be exaggerating, but Christian's been around with almost every chic in that school.<br /> ~<br /> I was already running for 20 minutes, when I sensed another wolf running too. 'A warrior on security watch?' No. My wolf Jasper sensed it was a girl. As I got closer, I smirked. 'Well, well, lookie who it is.' I told Jaz, a shorter name for my wolf.<br /> I knew I would get to her first before she sensed us because Alpha's have stronger abilities than all other wolves.<br /> 'Lucky us. I am fond of this one, Chris.' Jaz said. 'Well let's go say hello, maybe we'll get lucky to allure her.' I said cockily.<br /> As we got closer, she turned around in defensive mode. 'That was odd.'<br /> "What, Christian! What are you trying to do? Give me a heart attack numb nuts!" She said, trying to catch her breath.<br /> I started to laugh, "Woah baby, no need to go in attack mode andโฆnumb nuts?" I said, raising an eyebrow looking offended with her word choice of insult. She was fiery, and her voice sounded hot.<br /> "Yeahโฆwellโฆyou should never sneak up on anyone running ALPHA!" She said angrily.<br /> Every time she spoke, my shaft twitched, and this time, I stepped closer. I smirked and licked my bottom lip. "Nat, you don't have to call me Alpha, just Christian or Chris for short." She noticed the action.<br /> She raised an eyebrow, "OkayโฆChristianโฆbut you will have to call me Natalie. Only my close friends and my parents call me Nat. What are you doing here? Were you stalking me? You know better than anyone never to sneak up on someone like that unless you're looking for a hip whooping," She spat. "You know how rogues don't follow rules and are ruthless killers!"<br /> "Wait, stalking! No, I was out for a run today. Why did you say it like thatโฆwaitโฆunless you saw the friend request." I said, dismissing the rogue statement.<br /> "Pleaseโฆyeah I saw it. Now that you bring it upโฆno." She simply said.<br /> "Noโฆ" I said, looking dumb founded.<br /> "We are not friends, and you have never spoken a word to me, Christian. What did you expect? It would be like you invading my personal space!"<br /> "Speaking of personal space, back off, you keep coming closer, dude." She looked pissed and was already fisting up her hands.<br /> "Shorty, why do you have to be so angry? It's just a friend request, and it's not just from anyone, but from your future Alpha," I chuckled. "Sweetheart, you make it difficult to get near you. In that case, let me get to know you better, Natalie. It's never too late." Now biting my lower lip.<br /> As I got closer, she kept backing up until she hit a tree. I leaned to her face, and I could smell the vanilla scent in her hair. She smelled good. I wanted to peck her badly. But that thought disappeared when I suddenly felt pain down south. 'Did she just hit my balls!' I went down on one knee holding my pair to soothe them.<br /> "Don't for one, think, I am attracted to you or treat me like those other girls you have luring around. I am nothing like them. Never invade my personal space. You may be my Alpha soon, but even the Alpha has to respect his pack members." She looked down on me and if I wasn't more attracted to her than ever.<br /> She was beautiful. 'Chris, mate or not, we want her!' Jaz said, and I couldn't agree more. ' She definitely is unique, Jaz, one of a kind. ' I said as I saw her curvy body making her way back home. My hands ached to touch her.<br /> 'The nerve of that fool' I told Zo. 'Did you see how he was licking his lips like if I was a piece of meat,' I said, all pissed off. 'He was sniffing my hair too! Creep!'<br /> 'You sure kicked him hard, girlie! If I could hi-five you, I would, so I'll do it mentally' she snickered. 'He is cute, though Natie. The guy has muscle. I wouldn't mind seeing his wolf Jasper.' Zoe said.<br /> Ughโฆmaybe so, but he is too arrogant and cocky. Zoe kinda caught me off guard with that comment, though. Traitor.<br /> I ran fast, heading home. So much for a quiet and peaceful run. I got home showered and changed. My parents weren't home. I noticed it was past 9, so I called Evie.<br /> "Good morning Natie! I woke up at 9 thinking you weren't kidding on calling me, but to my surprise, you didn't call on time. That's not you, Nat." She said, concerned.<br /> "Evie, you will never believe what happened to me. Come over so we can talk and head out!"<br /> _____________________<br /> "No freaking way! What are you for reals? ! Christian!" Evie's mouth was wide open.<br /> "The devil in the flesh Ev's!" I told her. I explained what happened this morning about receiving his friend request and what happened on my run, almost scaring the pee out of me by sneaking up on me. The way he caged me by a tree and how he was acting weird, like trying to make a move on me.<br /> "Nat, Christian has the hots for you." She said in a teasing voice. Christian is not a one woman man. "Ev's, no dude. Honestly, there is only one guy that I really would like to know andโฆugh," I said, now feeling a little sad.<br /> "Who! ? Ivan Carter? ! He is an attractive one, buddy."<br /> Ivan Carter belongs to another pack, the Midnight Pack. He is the son of Alpha Easton Carter. He also attends the academy, and every time I sneak a peek at him, my body reacts to him. I've touched myself just thinking about him.<br /> 'You ain't lying Nat, he's a total package.' Zoe said breathlessly.<br /> 'Okay make up your mind! ? I chucked.<br /> I have never gotten close to him or talked to him. Well it's my fault, actually. I don't like getting close to anyone, and I was scared that he didn't feel the same way. I can't get my hopes up anyway. He's meant to be an Alpha. We shouldn't really mess with Alphas either way. I've heard Alpha's can choose their mates as well, but a true fated mate can make a strong heir.<br /> He also has this chic that is always around him, Camila Ares. She is next in line for Gamma in his pack. She is always with or on him. She freaking irritates me.<br /> 'He doesn't look interested in her, but they are always together. Well him and his click.' Zoe putting her two cents in. 'Yup,' I sighed.<br /> "Evie, do you think this year will be different? I don't know if I'm ready to see who I'm mated to." I can't believe I sound so down. I mentally slapped myself, I got up and shook off all of those unwanted emotions and thoughts.<br /> I'm scared of these feelings I have for Ivan, only to be hurt if he's mated with someone else, which probably will happen. I have to do something fast and stop whatever this is before I get a broken heart.<br /> "Nat, you're gorgeous, and anyone mated to you will be lucky as heck because you are one of a kind! To answer your question, yes! This is our year!" She leaned over and gave me a big hug.<br /> "You're gorgeous too, buddy. Anyone would be lucky to have you as a mate. I'll kick your mate's hip if he thinks otherwise. I got your back, babe!"<br /> We got up and headed for my car. My parents had gotten me a used Red, fourth generation Camaro from 2004, on my 16th birthday. I love my car.<br /> I rammed my engine and headed to town.<br /> ~Ivan's POV~<br /> "Alpha Ivan! Hey, earth to Alpha!" Jerry hollered. "I'm right next to you idiot" I growled. "Put me on the spot, why don't you."<br /> Jerry Scott is my Delta, and he's already taking charge since his father stepped down. He is the head warrior and trains our pack members.<br /> Training is about to start, and we are about to spar each other.<br /> I will soon become Alpha of the Midnight Pack. At the age of 18, the current Alpha, my father, Easton Carter, will step down, and I will claim my place as Alpha.<br /> I got distracted with my thoughts. In a few weeks I'll be going back to school at the Blue Moon Academy. It's our last year, and I'm anxious, though. There's this girl that has been on my mind rent-free. I haven't made the effort to talk to her. It seems she's not the talkative kind and brushes anyone away.<br /> This year will be different. I will make the initiative to get closer to her. I'm all giddy just thinking about her. When I think about her face, her hair, and her body, I get turned on. Natalie Adams makes me feel things I've never felt for anyone.<br /> Striker, my wolf puts these images in my head of us sleeping. 'There is something about this girl Ivan, that when I see her, it makes me go crazy, she belongs to us. That aura around her when she is pissed is captivating?' Striker says calmly.<br /> It's not common when a person's wolf feels infatuated with a certain person who is not their mate. I've heard that Alpha's get signs if a girl belongs to them, but we haven't been too close to her to sense any of those signs. Honestly, I wouldn't even know the signs if they were there.<br /> Just watching her from afar has been enough for us both these past years. But it's time to change that because just looking at her is not sufficient anymore. We need and want more of her.<br /> However, he's right. We've seen people piss her off from a distance. She doesn't show emotion like other girls, but when she is angry, her aura is strong, and with that, she scares them off. She's fierce.<br /> Her demeanor says it all. I can't put my finger on it. Only wolves with high rankings have that type of aura that demands respect and obedience.<br /> But if I am correct, her parents are warriors from Christian's pack. Soโฆit can't be possible. Werewolves take their rankings seriously. Well, most of us. That's just the way it should be. Your destined mate and you should make a strong heir.<br /> It also irks me of the fact that Christian has had his eyes on her. It sucks that she is from his pack. You can see the gleam in his eyes when she walks into the lunchroom. My wolf wants to peek out and claw his eyes out each time. Arrogant nutsack.<br /> 'That's true. Should we do a bit of research regarding her family line?' Striker eagerly says. 'Yeah, maybe we should. Just maybe there is something more to her, and by luck, we could have a chance to be mated to her.' With that thought, I couldn't help but smile.<br /> You may ask, what is it about this girl that makes her so interesting? Well, she is definitely not like the girls at school or my pack. She is attractive, and that fierce, mysterious, emotionless demeanor she gives out makes her so alluring. Makes you curious about her personality and what she thinks. This girl attracts unwanted attention without even trying.<br /> All other girls yearn for that attention and throw themselves at guys, but not her. She also doesn't give any guy her undivided attention. It's like no one exists around her. She is in her own world.<br /> "Ay, what's that on your face! Are you smiling? Wipe that off Alpha, ain't nobody got time for that when you're about to get a beat down." Jerry says laughing.<br /> โฆand just like that, my face is emotionless.<br /> 'Alright, you got jokes!' I scowl. Turning around, I yelled, "BEGIN!"<br /> _________<br /> After our training, I headed to the pack house. As I open the front door and head to the stairs, I hear footsteps behind me, and someone jumps on my back. I knew it was Camila because of her scent. It's too flowery and strong for my liking. Striker growls.<br /> Everyone thinks that we are together, but that is far from the truth. We are friends with benefits. I don't feel anything for her, honestly. Striker gets pissed off. He dislikes her scent and voice.<br /> He only accepts it if we imagine Natalie beneath us.<br /> "Get off me, Camila! I'm your Alpha!" I yelled. She flinched and quickly got off. I already do Alpha affairs as I'm slowly transitioning into the labors of a true leader. I take my job seriously because leading is what I do best.<br /> "What's wrong baby, you've been distant lately? You don't want me anymore? You haven't invited me up to your room. It's been weeks now, Ivan." She said, with her whiny voice.<br /> Striker snapped, 'She better remember her place, Ivan! It's Alpha to this bimbo!'<br /> I palm my face. "ALPHA! ALPHA IVANโฆCAMILA! ! ! Don't forget my title and don't forget your place." I growled. I was being a scumbag.<br /> Don't get me wrong, Camila is hot. She is 5'8 taller than most girls, with chocolate brown hair. She has these pretty hazel orbs. However, she has an ugly attitude, especially with girls that get close to me. I can't stand that. I may have slept with her a couple of times, but I feel nothing for her. She is not Natalie.<br /> ~<br /> "What's up Ivan, you rang! ?" Pointing at his head trying to be funny.<br /> Jerry, Axel, and Camila are allowed to call me Ivan without using my title. Especially if we are alone or having a group conversation with just the four of us.<br /> However, Camila has been irritating me lately. I may have acted like a scumbag but I have to somehow hammer it in her head that we are not a thing.<br /> I said this before, but I take my position seriously. Being a leader is a serious matter and the decisions I make can have a life or death impact on my pack.<br /> From here forward, she will have to understand that I can not condone that type of disrespect especially if we are not together. I allowed it in my bedroom but now, things have changed. She also has to take her position seriously. If and when I find my Luna, she will be the one to be protecting her. That's the role of a Gamma.<br /> "Yup, I got a mission for you. But this is low key." I said glaring at him.<br /> "Okay, whatcha got? !" Jerry said now sounding excited.<br /> "You remember Natalie Adams from the academy? From Christian's Pack." I asked.<br /> "Yeahโฆwho doesn't! She's freaking hot!" He sheepishly replied.<br /> "Watch it! I want you to look into her family background," I said possessively.<br /> He covered his mouth and jokingly said, "Whaaaโฆ? !" I pinched the bridge of my nose and furrowed my brows. "Well can you or can you not! ?" sounding bothered now.<br /> He chuckled, "Of course I can, anything for you bro. Is there something I should be concerned about though or something I am looking for in specific?"<br /> "Have you ever noticed the aura she gives out at times? I sense power and strength like if she comes from a higher rank, but her parents are warriors," I calmly said. It may not be a big deal but I'm curious now.<br /> "I just think there's more than meets the eye with her," I wasn't lying. "She is so different. It's like Camila, she's a Gamma because of her dad, but Natalie seems to be stronger than a Gamma if you get my drift."<br /> "Ah, okay, okay, I get it. I'll get to it. You don't have to explainโฆit makes sense," he said. "This can not leave this room. This is between you and me," I said, trusting him.<br /> The less people know what I do, the better. It may be stupid to others but for me, this is imperative.<br /> "Got it!" Jerry said leaving the room. Jerry is my best tracker and hacker when it comes to technology. He is a genius, very observant, and fast. That is why he is our Delta. | Cra0001 | 35 | https://facebook.com/100091661543152 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | 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! | What2628-eng | 79 | https://facebook.com/100093514056404 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Kayan<br /> I was betrayed by two people I trusted implicitly, my best friend and my fiancรฉ, or so i thought.<br /> Without saying a word, I bent down and picked up my phone. By this time Dimitri had donned his boxers and his slim fit navy dress pants. Mariana on the other hand was gripping the white sheet, trying to cover her body and was sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> Normally her tears would have stirred some sort of emotion but I felt absolutely nothing looking at her.<br /> Dimitri stepped towards me with his outstretched hand but I stepped back, and when I spoke my own voice surprised me.<br /> Two words, " How long?". I stared at both of them expectantly. Dimitri sighed and rubbed his face, looking at me with regret.<br /> When no response was forthcoming from him, I turned to Mariana and pinned her with a glare. " Shut up Mariana! I asked a question and I need an answer now!" I shouted.<br /> She pulled her knees to her chest as her body shook in fear, she had only seen me angry once so she knew not to taunt me. Dimitri on the other hand, was stunned.<br /> She looked at me and stuttered in fear " S....si...six months", and hung her head low. I absorbed her reply, laughed hysterically, which caught both of them by surprise. They looked at each other shrugging their shoulders and just as I started laughing suddenly, I stopped abruptly.<br /> "Six months you say? I guess this is the part where you'll say it was a mistake, you never meant to hurt me and you're both sorry right?." I spoke calmly, surprising myself.<br /> Dimitri was first to speak " Kay, please I'm so sorry. We were both tipsy after your work anniversary party,and after I dropped her off, everything went to terrible. I'm so sorry baby but..." I laughed again, cutting him off mid sentence.<br /> I held my hand up then turned to Mariana" What about you bimbo, any last words?" Her eyes bulged in fear and I watched her squirm in fear. She knew I could put a bullet between her eyes even with my eyes closed , thanks to my Dad taking me to the pistol range every Saturday for 2 years.<br /> She sprung to her knees, the sheet fell exposing her and I saw all the hickeys along her neck and on her breasts. "Kay please, let's talk about this. I'm so sorry and I regret this. I'm so sorry for hurting you like this, it wasn't planned."<br /> The nerve of this woman, I thought. I should have listened to my gut all those months ago. She kept thwarting our plans, started traveling a lot and would barely take my video calls then. And she kept changing or bashing my wedding plans and like a fool, I brushed it aside.<br /> Dimitri was the same, one business trip after another, late nights and then he was distant. When I asked him about it, he promised to do better than what he did, but there was a subtle change. We no longer have sleep.<br /> Both of them looked at me expectantly, waiting for the weak, docile Kayan to shed tears and assure them everything would be okay.<br /> I dropped my phone into my bag, grabbed my pistol and clicked the safety off. I swiftly fired two rounds which were followed by agonizing screams. I shot Dimitri in his thigh just inches from his shaft while Mariana got hers in her right shoulder. Just enough to cause pain but not be fatal.<br /> I walked out the room but turned to them saying " That's for the betrayal, I never want to see or hear from either of you again. The next time you won't be so lucky."<br /> I descended the stairs shakily, I touched my face checking for tears but there were none. My chest was convulsing but I refused to give in to the pain I was feeling.<br /> As I got to the last step, I looked around, marched over to the fireplace and threw all photos she had of us together into it. I lifted the stoker, broke her 60" Samsung TV and everything went red from thereon. I trashed her apartment then walked out as if nothing happened.<br /> I grabbed my baseball bat from my trunk, smashed all her windows and doors. Just as I about to leave, I saw Dimitri's Silver Range Rover across the street.<br /> How didn't I notice it before?<br /> I walked up to it and repeated my actions. When I was satisfied, I hopped into my van and drove away.<br /> ---- <br /> Dimitri<br /> I couldn't believe Kayan shot us and simply walked away. I had known her for over 6 years but I never encountered this side of her. I knew I deserved that, worst of all, I ruined the one good thing I had done.<br /> I was thinking with my shaft and not my brain, because in assessing the current situation, Mariana was just a good woman. There is attraction, but the feelings I have for Kayan are deeper.<br /> Her sobs reverberated around the bedroom , bringing me back to the current situation.<br /> When Kayan left the room, I heard her trashing Mariana's apartment downstairs and was about to go after her.<br /> Mariana's words stopped me dead in my tracks, "Leave her be, Dimitri, she will kill you! She needs to calm down first before we approach her." I turned to her slowly, trying to ignore the pain and blood gushing from my wound.<br /> "What do you mean Mari? I'm going after her! There is no us. This was a mistake. I need to talk to her!" I ran my hands over my face then slid my belt around my leg making a tourniquet.<br /> She slid off the bed, gripping the sheet with her uninjured shoulder. " Take it from me, we're lucky to be alive! You have never seen her upset or know what she's capable of in this state but I do!" She tiptoed to the door listening for any further sound from downstairs, but was greeted with silence.<br /> Mariana sat on the stairs shaking and crying while gripping her disheveled hair.<br /> The front door was ajar, I moved to lock it but the sight of Mariana's car took my breath away. I looked across the street to mine and it looked even worst.<br /> I shook my head, sighed and turned too quickly, causing a searing pain in the bullet wound.<br /> I called my driver Michael and told him to be quick and discreet.<br /> Mariana got dressed in the meantime while we waited with bated breaths.<br /> Michael arrived in about 10 minutes, his eyes expressed shock but he knew better than to ask any questions.<br /> He drove us to Wyckoff Medical, the only place I knew would be discreet about what happened.<br /> Using the back entrance, we were quickly ushered into separate rooms for assessment.<br /> As I laid on the bed, I felt Dr. Green prodding my wound for the bullet. He's been our family physician since I was a child, so when he asked who I pissed off this time , I sighed and ignored him.<br /> All I could think about was Kayan, she was my everything!<br /> Not anymore you prick, you screwed up and you're lucky to be alive, I shook my head, trying to shake guilt ridden thoughts from my subconscious.<br /> I reminisced on all the times we spent together, the plans we made for our future and our kids. I reflected on how she supported me even when my own father doubted me. She never gave up on me. You shut up Dimitri!<br /> Dr. Green waved his hand above my eyes while calling my name. " Did you hear anything I said just now?" he asked quietly.<br /> I sighed " No, what is it?". My tone was clipped but right now I didn't care, I could apologize later.<br /> He rolled his eyes before continuing "I said there's a detective waiting outside to talk to you, you know it's my duty to report this." He grabbed a scissors and cut the thread, signaling that he had finished stitching my wound.<br /> "You'll live, but stay off your feet for a few days, and use a crutch if you have to move around." Dr. Green bandaged my leg and was about to leave when I stopped him.<br /> "Wait, I apologize for my behavior Doc. Where's the young lady who came in with me? I need to see her now." He looked at me sadly, shook his head and left the room without a word.<br /> My guess is he figured out why Kayan hadn't rushed into the hospital demanding answers. The realization hit me of how I not only disappointed Kayan but everyone close to me, especially my parents. <br /> I must have dosed off from the pain medication I had gotten as I was woken up by Mariana gently shaking my shoulder and calling my name.<br /> Blinking my eyes to adjust to the bright lights, I grabbed the remote and adjusted my bed. Mariana looked terrible, her hair was unkempt and her eyes were swollen. Her right arm was bandaged and now in a sling.<br /> She sat in the chair beside the bed and hung her head low. " I spoke to the police, I told them we were mugged at the apartment as we were trying to finalize wedding arrangements." It was barely a whisper, but I sighed in relief.<br /> "We messed up but I agree, I'll tell them the same thing. Kayan doesn't deserve this." My throat felt hoarse so I reached for a tumbler with water, poured a cup and took several sips.<br /> " I told you we needed to stop Dimitri but you insisted on coming over!" I pinned her with a glare which caused her to shut up immediately.<br /> The nerve of this woman! I laughed coldly before turning to her " Oh so now it's my fault Mar? Surely you weren't complaining when I rammed your wet dripping private part with my shaft right? You never said stop! Anything else I'm forgetting?" My chest was heaving by the time I finished ranting.<br /> I was about to continue but her sobs erupted. She looked at me lost, guilt etched across her face before she stood to leave.<br /> "Look Mar, I'm sorry okay. I just don't know what to do." I held her wrist, my thumb caressing the inside of her hand in a comforting way. "How did she get in though?"<br /> Mariana was trembling as tears streamed down her face. She took a deep breath before she spoke. "I forgot she had a key from over a year ago. She would always check the place when I traveled for a convention or went to see my family."<br /> My mouth opened to speak but no words were forthcoming and they never came as the door banged open, slamming into the wall denting it.<br /> Jumping with fright, we turned to see my very pissed off father and my distraught mother. Before I could utter a word, he spoke," You, get out now and don't let me see your face again!" Mariana jumped in fear and ran from the room sobbing before I could stop her.<br /> "Dad i can explain...." He slammed his hand onto the small table, knocking the tumbler over.<br /> My mom grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down but he flicked her hand away and grabbed my hospital gown roughly, "Explain what exactly Dimitri? How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> "I'm going to fix this Dad, just give me a chance please." I turned towards my mom seeking support but she turned her head away from me. " Mom, please I'm sorry, I'll fix this. I'm gonna make everything right."<br /> My Dad simply scoffed at my words, took my Mom's hands and walked out the door.<br /> The only sound that filled the room was that of the water droplets bouncing on the floor.<br /> ---- <br /> Mariana<br /> I have never been more regretful in my entire life. My head was throbbing non stop, my eyes were puffy from all the tears I'd shed in the past 24 hours. My mind replayed the events and all I could think of, was that I should be dead by Kayan's hands.<br /> My driver dropped me off to the apartment, and as I stepped inside I once again surveyed the damage. Nothing was left untouched, I had to start over but I guess that's the price to pay for stabbing your best friend in the back for six months.<br /> I wanted to stop so many times, I knew it was wrong but Dimitri was like a spirit I couldn't get enough of.<br /> We decided to take the secret to our graves and everything was going great until I saw him a week later at Danny's Cafe. We sat and talked for a while but after an hour when we attempted to leave, the sexual tension was just too much to ignore.<br /> From thereon, we used our lunch breaks and any free time we could muster to screw each other senseless. After each encounter, we'd say it was the last time , but that never happened as soon after I took trips when he did or he came to my apartment before going home.<br /> All this time, I gave Kayan a million excuses as to why we couldn't meet up, continued planning her wedding virtually and offered excuses when she whined about Dimitri being overly consumed by work.<br /> I even ended things with my own boyfriend as our relationship became strained and miserable because of my infidelity.<br /> Now this is the endgame, I lost my best friend who always stood by me and I'm pretty sure Dimitri and I have no future.<br /> Sitting on the stairs, I decided to take a leap of faith and call Kayan. If I could just get her to listen to me for a second, I would tell her how sorry I am and try to fix things.<br /> As I dialed her number, it went directly to voice-mail, and after trying a few more times unsuccessfully, I decided to go see her. I ordered an Uber, waiting outside for a few minutes before the car pulled up.<br /> I got in, gave the driver her address and stared blankly out the window. The only sounds were that of the music playing in the dashboard.<br /> Ten minutes later, I was standing on the curb outside Kayan's townhouse. Hesitantly, I opened the gate, trudged up the steps and rang the bell. I was there waiting for a few minutes, I called her but there was no response.<br /> I walked to the garden by the lamp post where she always hid a spare key. It was gone.<br /> Just as I was about to step from the yard, I was stopped in my tracks by a faint voice. My hopes increased but when I turned around expecting Kayan, no one was there.<br /> What was that then, I thought to myself.<br /> I reopened the Uber app, placed my request and waited by the curb.<br /> "She's not here you know." I was startled by the voice and was relieved to see her neighbor Michael.<br /> "What do you mean? Where is she?" I asked hurriedly.<br /> He eyed me suspiciously before replying,<br /> "Seeing you here looking like poop tells me you had a role in Kay's sudden departure 2 hours ago." His words were true yet hurtful, I castedmy eyes down in shame.<br /> "You don't know, Mike, just tell me where she went, I need to talk to her before it's too late" I begged him.<br /> The prick was nonchalant as he leant against her gate typing away on his phone. After getting a ping, indicating a message, he looked up at me smirking.<br /> "Well if you must know, my girl left for England indefinitely..." he paused, struggling to hold back a snicker, "...Oh and she says you should go yourself or Dimatro, whatever the pretty boy's name is." Michael was now clutching his side laughing hysterically while I sighed in defeat.<br /> She's gone! And now there's no way I will find her because I can't go to her family and I'm pretty sure she's already changed her number!<br /> I didn't warrant Michael a response since the Uber pulled up, I hopped in and left.<br /> My phone began vibrating in my pocket and I grabbed it quickly, just hoping it would be Kayan. I was disappointed as Dimitri's name flashed on the screen.<br /> "What do you want Dimitri? Haven't we done enough, didn't you hear what your father said?" I shouted angrily, catching sight of the driver's raised brows in the rear view mirror.<br /> "Calm down Mari, I wanted to apologize for my Dad. I'm getting discharged now so I'm heading home, I need to sort things out with Kay." Though I had wanted the same thing minutes ago, I couldn't help the pang of jealousy that gripped me.<br /> Before I could stop myself I snarled in response<br /> "Thanks for asking how I'm doing you prick! Oh and don't bother going there because she's gone!"<br /> "What are you talking about Mari! This is not the time to joke with me..." I'd had enough of his nonsense so I cut him mid sentence " Kay's gone Dimitri, I just left the house, she's not home and her neighbor says she left for England." The other end of the line was silent.<br /> I looked at the screen to see if the call had been disconnected but the line was still open.<br /> "Dimitri?" He sighed in response and I heard him grunt in pain, perhaps moving too quickly on his injured leg.<br /> "I'm here Mari. How will I fix things if I don't know where to find her? Of all the places, she had to chose England!? Couldn't she have just gone to her parents? What am I going to do now?"<br /> I wanted to speak but my throat felt as if it was clogged.<br /> I cut the call, switched to airplane mode and rested my head against the window as fresh salty tears rolled down my cheeks.<br /> I lost everything.<br /> My best friend. Dimitri . And a family who accepted me without judgement and showed me nothing but love all these years. | Lio111 | 16 | https://facebook.com/61554822209907 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

And he said he would never hurt me.<br /> He was my everything, in these few short moments, he has given me a safe haven, a home in his arms.<br /> When I came to his pack with him, I noticed that everyone around me was staring at us.<br /> โSeriously, why are they staring at us? Itโs kind of creepy,โ I asked him.<br /> โLuna, itโs so good to meet you!โ a girl said to me.<br /> โWhy are you calling me Luna, and what is wrong with all these people? Have you never seen an overgrown giant carry a broken girl before?โ<br /> โWe are calling you Luna because Drake is our alpha.โ<br /> My jaw drops as I look back at Drake. <br /> โThey are all staring at him because they are scared of him. He is Alpha Drake Moon of the Blood Moon pack.โ<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Lilly's POV<br /> I limp out of the room. It takes all of our concentration to stay on our feet, but after a minute bile rises up my throat. My insides churn as I trip and fall, the ground moving below me, but as I land, I land in someoneโs arms.<br /> I look up, my eyes watering as I take a large inhale of his scent, the anxiety and turmoil inside my body relaxing as I look into his perfect, perfect face. Tingles of pleasure ripple under my skin as his hands hold my body, replacing the pain with peace. As our eyes meet itโs like a current flows through me, straight into him. Layla gasps as we watch each other.<br /> โMate.โ<br /> โMate,โ we both cry at the same time, tears flooding my vision as he pulls me against him.<br /> โWhaโoh myโwho did this?โ he roars, my body flinching. โSorry, no, donโt be scared of me. But who would do this?โ he says to me, stuttering.<br /> I wasnโt sure if he was talking to me or not, or maybe he was just in shock, rambling because he was nervous.<br /> But before I could find out, My body shuts off as I pass out in the mate of my dreamsโ arms, Layla finally relaxing as the world around us goes into darkness.<br /> --<br /> I wake up with a sense of loss. I panic, not knowing where I am. Machines are beeping, I am cold, I have no idea what is going on.<br /> My heart pounds in my chest as I try to move, my body screams in pain. Iโm blinded by a light as I try and remember what is going on.<br /> The faster my heart rate beats the louder the beeping gets. I squint, lifting my head.<br /> Just then the man of my dreams runs through the door. Realising I am dreaming I take a breath, relaxing as my breathing starts to level out.<br /> โAre you ok!!!โ He grabs my face. But to my shock sparks light up all over my body. Layla pushes forward as his touch wakes us up.<br /> โThat doesnโt normally happen,โ I whisper to him.<br /> He frowns. โWhat doesnโt?โ<br /> His voice is louder than usual. It was like velvet, smooth but strong, demanding but patient. The sound brought life to my ears, filling me with hope.<br /> โIn my dreams you didnโt feel sparky.โ<br /> Layla pushes forward, purring as she moves our head into his hands. He looks at me, puzzled. โYou dreamed of me?โ<br /> โAm I not dreaming now?โ I ask.<br /> His eyebrow shoots up into the air as he lets out a chuckle, shaking his head. โNope, Iโm all real, babe.โ<br /> My mind is racing, trying to think of what he is talking about. What day was it? What happened? When did he get here? I had so many questions that I needed answers too, but every time I tried to ask, the sheer beauty of his face stunned me to silence.<br /> โYouโre not dreaming, Lilly. This is real, he is real,โ<br /> Layla tells me softly. Tears pool in my eyes as I take in every inch of his perfect face.<br /> He is all man, ruggedly handsome. His messy hair was long, out of place where his fingers had slipped through his dark brown locks. It is scissor cut at the sides, giving definition to his sharp and chiselled jaw. The muscles in his cheeks ripple as he talks.<br /> He must be 25/30 years old, clean shaven and so so beautiful. His dark long lashes frame his beautiful brown eyes. They hold wisdom, sparkling against the bright light, but the dark circles under his eyes had me worrying.<br /> Was he ok? Why did he look so tired? So stressed?<br /> He is tall, really tall, maybe 6ft 2/6ft 4. His large wide shoulders are perfectly proportioned to his huge muscular body. The black T-shirt he was wearing stretched over his body, fitting him far to snug for my liking.<br /> A sense of jealousy overwhelms me as I see what every other female sees, simply put he was walking, talking perfection and the thought of anyone but me ogling him left a bad taste in my mouth.<br /> My dreams have done him justice, but not even my subconscious could muster up the true beauty that stands before me.<br /> I reach out to touch him, my hand connecting to his face, sparks lighting up my fingertips as I watch him, amazed that anyone could be this beautiful, shocked that he was made for little old me and fearful that I would never be worthy of such a hunk.<br /> But as he closes his eyes at my touch, moaning, I canโt help the smile that spreads across my face.<br /> I was stunned that I too could make him feel that same sense of peace and acceptance that he made me feel every time we touched.<br /> dropping his head slightly, his breath fans my face.<br /> My body goes to blubber as his sweet vanilla scent makes my mouth water, setting every nerve end in my body on fire. Filling me with need and a desire so strong it almost chokes me.<br /> Layla pushes forward before I have the chance to stop her, her own strength overpowering my body easily, she grabs his face and slams our lips against his.<br /> My eyes slam closed and my mind comes to life, every colour of the rainbow explodes behind my eyelids as our lips touch for the very first time.<br /> We both freeze in shock, I was nervous he would reject us, but my body slowly relaxes as he busses me back.<br /> My body immediately responds, my lips fit against his perfectly, made for each other, like it was always meant to be.<br /> He moans as his tongue softly prods at my lips. My mouth opens just as he sweeps his tongue against my own. My body jolts to life when the sparks start in my mouth and spread throughout my body.<br /> Our buss is amazing, all consuming as every painful sore muscle loosens, my body wrapping around his as I pull him towards me. All sense goes out the window at his touch.<br /> โAchhhhhhhhhmmm.โ<br /> He starts to pull away but Layla isnโt having it, instead dragging him closer.<br /> โAcccchhhhhhemmmmmmm.โ<br /> He pulls back only slightly, chuckling when I realise we are no longer alone but Layla continues to cling to him, not wanting to let him go.<br /> โBabe, the doctorโs here to see you. Maybe we can pick this up when we are alone.โ My face flushes red.<br /> โOh, sorry. I might have gotten a little carried away,โ<br /> Layla tells me, giggling. I roll my eyes at her. โA little? Jeez, I donโt even know his name,โ I snap back as she cackles away in my head.<br /> โIโm so sorry, Iโm so embarrassed,โ I whisper, my cheeks heating. He snorts, shaking his head. โDonโt be, I didnโt want to stop either.โ<br /> A girly giggle escapes my lips at the fact someone that bloody beautiful wanted to buss me. Just then the doctor walks over, smiling. โDonโt worry about it. I canโt say I blame you to be honest,โ he tells my mate, winking. My mate growls, glaring at him. โMine,โ he snaps.<br /> The doctor snorts, shaking his head as I blush again, bright red. Gosh, I canโt remember ever blushing this much before ever.<br /> โWhatโs your first name?โ the doctor asks.<br /> โItโs Lilly, Lilly Morgan,โ I say with a small smile. โAnd what pack are you from, Lilly?โ<br /> Oh, the pack! My dadโs going to kill me. I am meant to be helping them.<br /> โOh, fuckity balls!โ I squeak, jumping up and looking around the room.<br /> โHey, wow, itโs ok! Stay calm, youโre ok here.โ I shake my head, realising my clothes are covered in dry blood.<br /> My mate runs his hand up and down my back gently. โShhh, itโs ok, I promise.โ<br /> I take a breath, his touch calming both me and Layla. It almost makes me feel sedated as my entire body relaxes. โUm, Iโm from Droim Mor pack,โ I say nervously, afraid I will get in trouble.<br /> โAnd what happened to you, Lilly?โ I chew my bottom lip. What do I say? I look between them nervously.<br /> โHe is our mate. We can trust him.โ<br /> โBut what will he do? What if dad turns him against us?โ<br /> She shakes her head. โNo, no more thinking about him. We need to move on, Lilly, and our mate is the way out!โ<br /> โLilly, itโs ok. They wonโt hurt you ever again. But I need to know who hurt you, baby.โ I look into his eyes and every fibre in my body believes what he says, but it is still extremely hard to admit it out loud.<br /> โMyyy f-atherrr,โ I whisper.<br /> He lets out a sharp growl. My body tenses at the noise. I clench my eyes closed, taking a deep breath to calm my racing heart.<br /> Suddenly the noise stops and his hands land on my back, calming me once again. โSorry Lilly, I didnโt mean to scare you.โ<br /> He lifts my chin, his eyes meeting mine. โI wonโt hurt you, I wonโt ever hurt YOU.โ<br /> Every emotion possible passes through me at his words, my heart shattering as all the fear, the anxiety and depression all come crashing down as I sob into my hands. I had been holding it all back for years, only letting a little escape at a time.<br /> But it felt like it was a dam that my mate pulled to pieces in a few short seconds, exposing the truth of the past, the pain that I had been through and the trauma that I would live with forever.<br /> โItโs ok, he wonโt hurt us,โ Layla says softly, trying to comfort me.<br /> โI know, but I canโt believe itโs over,โ I tell her. He pulls me against his chest, running his hand up and down my back. โShhhhh, itโs ok, Iโve got you now, babe.โ<br /> For some silly reason that makes me cry harder. Every pain, break, bruise, every time he raped me, hit me, kicked me. It all hits me, it all destroys me as I cry it all out. I felt like a weak little girl, being held together by a big strong man. Strangely, I didnโt hate it, in fact, I craved that strength, that safe space where I could fall apart and still be held together.<br /> He was it, he was my everything, in these few short moments, he has given me a safe haven, a home in his arms.<br /> โIโm so sorry, Iโm so sorry I scared you, Iโm so sorry I wasnโt there. But I am now, and nobody will ever hurt you again,โ he tells me, rubbing calming circles up and down my back.<br /> I pull back, wiping my face as I shake my head. โItโs not on you, he did this, not you.โ I use his shirt to wipe my tears.<br /> He chuckles, watching me as I pull myself together.<br /> When Iโm done sobbing like a big baby he lifts my chin and he places a gentle buss against my lips.<br /> โOk, Lilly, I need you to lie back so I can check you over,โ<br /> the doctor says, pulling me from my thoughts.I smile, lying back as he comes to my side.<br /> My mate whose name is still a mystery glares at him. He watches as he lifts my top to check my body. My mateโs eyes widen as he gasps, looking to the doctor and back to me.<br /> He starts to poke and prod at me. Nothing hurts all that much. I look like bad but I no longer feel like bad. Layla turns away from me, going to the back of my head and shutting me out.<br /> โI donโt know how, Lilly, but your ribs are already healed.โ<br /> โYeah, they donโt hurt either.โ He frowns, looking to my mate. His face is like stone as the doctor helps me sit up.<br /> Other than feeling a little dizzy I feel ok. He checks me over, shining lights in my eyes, tapping my reflexes and checking the wound on my head.<br /> โOther than a concussion and a lot of bruising, your body has somehow healed. Iโm not sure how, but it has.โ He starts writing stuff down on a chart. โIf you promise to take it easy I donโt see why you canโt take her home today.โ<br /> I look to my mate awkwardly. His face lights up as he smiles down at me. โI think I can see to that.โ<br /> I sigh in relief. The thought of going back near that monster makes me feel physically ill. โOf course it goes without saying that you stay far away from your father.โ<br /> โDonโt worry, if I have my way she wonโt ever see his dirty rotten face again,โ he snaps.<br /> I smirk up at him as he turns, lifting a bag and placing it on the bed beside me. โI had my people run out and grab you some clothes.โ<br /> โPeople? You have people?โ I ask, chewing my lip. He nods. โYes, we have people now,โ he answers.<br /> โDo you need help getting changed, Lillyโโ Before the doctor even has a chance to answer, our mate growls, his wolf pushing forward and grabbing him by the scruff of the neck. โMine!โ The doctor puts his hands in the air.<br /> โI meant the nurses! Youโre really big,โ he wheezes, catching his hand. Satisfied with that answer, our mate drops him. โIf my mate needs help I will help her,โ he snaps impatiently.<br /> โYes, I think we have established that, jeez.โ He pats his shirt down, clearly amused by the entire thing as I take into a fit of giggles, shaking my head.<br /> โSo not to make things awkward but would you mind telling me your name?โ I ask, scratching the back of my head. The doctor bursts out laughing at the fact.<br /> My mate smirks, looking at me. โDrake, Drake Moon.โ<br /> โSeven, double O seven,โ the doctor teases. Drake glares at him as I laugh, shaking my head. โYou realise itโs Bond, James Bond, right?โ I ask, his face flushes red.<br /> Drake snorts, laughing with me.<br /> โYeah, I think itโs time for Mr Bond over here to get out, get out right now,โ he snaps at the poor doctor.<br /> I am so busy laughing I donโt even care that that was totally rude. โJust trying to lighten the mood, dude, but whatever. Good luck, Lilly.โ He winks as he leaves, closing the door behind him.<br /> Drake watches him go. Then he turns back to me. โDid he just call me dude?โ He says it like it tastes funny, screwing his face up as I laugh even harder. He chuckles, pulling clothes out of the bag for me.<br /> โWe didnโt know your size, so Fiona got you one of those long dresses with a cardigan.โ He pulls out a black maxi dress with a yellow cardigan. It is simple but pretty.<br /> I pull off my shirt and hand it to him. His eyes widen as he freezes, his eyes on my chest. I take the dress from his hand and I pull it over my head, smirking at him. โYou ok over there?โ I ask.<br /> He shakes himself a little, his eyes returning to my eyes as his face flares slightly. โYeah, sorry. I just wasnโt prepared,โ he says, clearing his throat.<br /> I chuckle, grabbing the cardigan. I pull it on. He hands me a brush next, so I pull it through my tangled web of hair, giving up and pulling it into a messy bun on my head.<br /> โWhat time is it? Iโm starving.โ<br /> โBreakfast.โ Iโm surprised by that. โHow long have I been sleeping?โ He checks the time on his watch. โI found you at 3pm yesterday. Itโs seven now, so 16 hours.โ<br /> I shake my head. โHe started the beating at around seven yesterday morning. I must have passed out until I walked into you.โ<br /> His jaw ticks, closing his eyes. โIโve never seen anything like it before. I donโt know how you were even conscious and I definitely donโt know how youโre healed right now.โ<br /> I shrug, wondering that too. Layla is still locking me out so she is zero help. He passes me my Converses next so I pull them on and touch my toes to the floor, cringing as the muscles in my legs ache. He catches my hips as I take a step, my head going woozy as I grab hold of his arms.<br /> โWow,โ I snap, losing my balance.<br /> He scoops me up. โYeah, youโre not walking anywhere like that. Iโll just have to carry you,โ he smirks, planting a soft buss against my lips. I smile against his lips, relaxing into his arms as he surrounds me, making my tiny frame feel so safe.<br /> โDo you want to eat in the room or in the dining hall with myโno, sorry, our people?โ I wish I knew what โour peopleโ meant.<br /> Layla comes forward smiling at me. โDo it! I want to meet them,โ she tells me encouragingly. โThe dining hall, please.โ<br /> He smiles, grabbing my phone off the side table and he hands it to me. I check it as we walk. I have so many messages from Emma. Feeling guilty, I open them immediately.<br /> โHey howโs the summit?โ<br /> โHey where are you?โ<br /> โLilly youโre doing that really annoying thing that you do, text me back please!!โ<br /> โOh for heaven's sake you better have a good excuse for not answering meโ<br /> โWho is that?โ Drake asks, pushing his head between me and my phone to look at my messages. I giggle. โItโs my best friend Emma. Sorry, only friend. She just met her mate and moved to the Blood Moon pack and she gets crazy if I donโt text her back.โ<br /> He smirks, pursing his lips. โWhat does she think of it? Blood Moon I mean?โ<br /> I shrug. โShe seems to like it ok, said the people are nice. The alpha is a little scary but the pack is better than the one we came from.โ<br /> He nods his head. โWhy is he scary?โ he asks, screwing up his nose.<br /> โI donโt know. She said when he walks into the room he shuts most conversations down. He only really socialises with his ranked members.โ He shrugs.<br /> โMaybe he only socialises with his ranked members because thatโs all the people in the world he can trust. Blood Moonโs a big pack, a lot of people would be out for his job.โ I nod my head. โI hear that. Up until now Emma is the only person in the world that I can trust.โ<br /> He smiles, not adding anything more as I type a message back.<br /> โHey sorry, I met my mate and I didnโt have my phone. But Iโm ok, I can ring you later when things settle downโ<br /> โIf you trust her, why are you lying to her?โ I shrug.<br /> โI donโt want her to worry about something she canโt change. Sheโs all the way there and Iโm all the way here, plus Iโm ok really.โ<br /> โYouโre ok? Lilly youโre black and blue. You have a concussion. You are the definition of not ok.โ I smirk at him.<br /> Layla purses her lips. โMaybe he has a point,โ she says thoughtfully. โI am, yeah Iโm black and blue, but Iโm not in pain. I found you. To me Iโm ok.โ<br /> He smiles at me. โYouโre really rather remarkable, arenโt you?โ I blush as he drops his head in the crook of my neck, sniffing me. โAnd you smell so good!โ<br /> He nips my neck with his teeth, sending a shiver straight down my spine. I gasp at the feel of his lips against my skin. It feels like I have just found my heart and soul. Now itโs having a party, celebrating the fact that we are finally back together.<br /> โSo these people that are ours, who are they?โ I ask, trying to distract myself from the flooding of my arousal flowing through my body. I definitely donโt want the entire lobby smelling my arousal. โJust our people,โ he says, heading towards the dining room.<br /> โBut why are they our people?โ He purses his lips, thinking. As we walk, everyone in our path steps out of it. It is like they are grapes shrivelling up and turning into raisins.<br /> --<br /> Reaching the dining hall the entire place goes quiet. I look behind us, wondering what they are afraid of. He snorts, chuckling.<br /> โWhat are they so afraid of?โ I snap, making him laugh, shaking his head. A table not far in front of us all stand up, grinning as we approach. But by now you could hear a pin drop. The entire place has completely shut down.<br /> โSeriously, why are they staring at us? Itโs kind of creepy.โ He just continues to chuckle as two men and a lady smile. โLuna, itโs so good to meet you!โ I freeze, looking up at Drake.<br /> โWhy is he laughing, why are you calling me Luna, and what is wrong with all these people? Have you never seen an overgrown giant carry a broken girl before?โ<br /> I snap louder, glaring at the crowd as Drake throws his head back, howling. His friends look between each other, then back at us. โI canโtโyouโtellโher, I canโt,โ he splutters, taking a seat with me on his knee.<br /> The girl starts to giggle, shaking her head. โWe are calling you Luna because Drake is our alpha, me and Ben are his betas, and Mark is his gamma.โ<br /> My jaw drops as I look back at Drake. โThey are all staring at him because they are scared of him. He is Alpha Drake Moon of the Blood Moon pack.โ<br /> My face falls as I gasp. Turning around I slap his shoulder. โYou big prick, you let me go on and on.โ<br /> He howls in laughter again as the crowd around us gasp at me hitting him.<br /> โOh shut up. Heโs my mate, Iโm allowed to hit him.โ I glare at an old pair sitting behind us as Drake takes a deep steadying breath.<br /> โI swear that was amazing,โ Drake says as he finally stops laughing at me. He leans forward, bussing my lips as I glare at him.<br /> โOh come on, donโt be grumpy. It was a little funny.โ I smirk, trying to hide my smile. Lifting my fingers I pinch them together. โOk, maybe a little.โ<br /> He pecks my lips again, pulling back, and he buries his head in the crook of my neck, sniffing in my scent. His body relaxes immediately as I look back at โour peopleโ.<br /> โSo Iโm a luna? Are you sure you want me as a luna?โ<br /> I ask, screwing up my face.<br /> โOh we want you as a luna! You just hit the alpha. I love you already and there is no give backs. We are keeping you,โ the one called Ben says.<br /> Fiona nods her head in agreement. โAgreed, we are keeping you.โ<br /> โI also think youโre awesome,โ Mark adds.<br /> Drake snorts. โYouโve never called me any of those things.โ<br /> โThatโs because youโre a big grump. Luna Lilly is already winning,โ Fiona says. Drake flips her the bird. โThatโs your birthday present going into the furnace when I get home.โ<br /> She snorts, rolling her eyes. โOh please, I have your card in my back pocket. I donโt need no half assed attempt at a gift when I can just buy my own, thank you very much,โ<br /> she snaps, opening her menu and winking at me. I giggle as Drake rolls his eyes.<br /> โSo are we ever going to get to the part where you tell us who did that to you, Luna?โ My body tenses immediately. All thoughts of my father have all but disappeared. But as I shake off the feeling and go to open my mouth I hear a growl rumbling through the dining hall.<br /> One so familiar my entire body runs cold. My heart rate accelerates as all the breath leaves my lungs. I scrunch my eyes closed as my frame starts to tremble in fear, tears pooling in my eyes. Waiting for the hit that usually came after that terrifying sound. | Shep002 | 61 | https://facebook.com/100093452425291 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Kayan<br /> I was betrayed by two people I trusted implicitly, my best friend and my fiancรฉ, or so i thought.<br /> Without saying a word, I bent down and picked up my phone. By this time Dimitri had donned his boxers and his slim fit navy dress pants. Mariana on the other hand was gripping the white sheet, trying to cover her body and was sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> Normally her tears would have stirred some sort of emotion but I felt absolutely nothing looking at her.<br /> Dimitri stepped towards me with his outstretched hand but I stepped back, and when I spoke my own voice surprised me.<br /> Two words, " How long?". I stared at both of them expectantly. Dimitri sighed and rubbed his face, looking at me with regret.<br /> When no response was forthcoming from him, I turned to Mariana and pinned her with a glare. " Shut up Mariana! I asked a question and I need an answer now!" I shouted.<br /> She pulled her knees to her chest as her body shook in fear, she had only seen me angry once so she knew not to taunt me. Dimitri on the other hand, was stunned.<br /> She looked at me and stuttered in fear " S....si...six months", and hung her head low. I absorbed her reply, laughed hysterically, which caught both of them by surprise. They looked at each other shrugging their shoulders and just as I started laughing suddenly, I stopped abruptly.<br /> "Six months you say? I guess this is the part where you'll say it was a mistake, you never meant to hurt me and you're both sorry right?." I spoke calmly, surprising myself.<br /> Dimitri was first to speak " Kay, please I'm so sorry. We were both tipsy after your work anniversary party,and after I dropped her off, everything went to terrible. I'm so sorry baby but..." I laughed again, cutting him off mid sentence.<br /> I held my hand up then turned to Mariana" What about you bimbo, any last words?" Her eyes bulged in fear and I watched her squirm in fear. She knew I could put a bullet between her eyes even with my eyes closed , thanks to my Dad taking me to the pistol range every Saturday for 2 years.<br /> She sprung to her knees, the sheet fell exposing her and I saw all the hickeys along her neck and on her breasts. "Kay please, let's talk about this. I'm so sorry and I regret this. I'm so sorry for hurting you like this, it wasn't planned."<br /> The nerve of this woman, I thought. I should have listened to my gut all those months ago. She kept thwarting our plans, started traveling a lot and would barely take my video calls then. And she kept changing or bashing my wedding plans and like a fool, I brushed it aside.<br /> Dimitri was the same, one business trip after another, late nights and then he was distant. When I asked him about it, he promised to do better than what he did, but there was a subtle change. We no longer have sleep.<br /> Both of them looked at me expectantly, waiting for the weak, docile Kayan to shed tears and assure them everything would be okay.<br /> I dropped my phone into my bag, grabbed my pistol and clicked the safety off. I swiftly fired two rounds which were followed by agonizing screams. I shot Dimitri in his thigh just inches from his shaft while Mariana got hers in her right shoulder. Just enough to cause pain but not be fatal.<br /> I walked out the room but turned to them saying " That's for the betrayal, I never want to see or hear from either of you again. The next time you won't be so lucky."<br /> I descended the stairs shakily, I touched my face checking for tears but there were none. My chest was convulsing but I refused to give in to the pain I was feeling.<br /> As I got to the last step, I looked around, marched over to the fireplace and threw all photos she had of us together into it. I lifted the stoker, broke her 60" Samsung TV and everything went red from thereon. I trashed her apartment then walked out as if nothing happened.<br /> I grabbed my baseball bat from my trunk, smashed all her windows and doors. Just as I about to leave, I saw Dimitri's Silver Range Rover across the street.<br /> How didn't I notice it before?<br /> I walked up to it and repeated my actions. When I was satisfied, I hopped into my van and drove away.<br /> ---- <br /> Dimitri<br /> I couldn't believe Kayan shot us and simply walked away. I had known her for over 6 years but I never encountered this side of her. I knew I deserved that, worst of all, I ruined the one good thing I had done.<br /> I was thinking with my shaft and not my brain, because in assessing the current situation, Mariana was just a good woman. There is attraction, but the feelings I have for Kayan are deeper.<br /> Her sobs reverberated around the bedroom , bringing me back to the current situation.<br /> When Kayan left the room, I heard her trashing Mariana's apartment downstairs and was about to go after her.<br /> Mariana's words stopped me dead in my tracks, "Leave her be, Dimitri, she will kill you! She needs to calm down first before we approach her." I turned to her slowly, trying to ignore the pain and blood gushing from my wound.<br /> "What do you mean Mari? I'm going after her! There is no us. This was a mistake. I need to talk to her!" I ran my hands over my face then slid my belt around my leg making a tourniquet.<br /> She slid off the bed, gripping the sheet with her uninjured shoulder. " Take it from me, we're lucky to be alive! You have never seen her upset or know what she's capable of in this state but I do!" She tiptoed to the door listening for any further sound from downstairs, but was greeted with silence.<br /> Mariana sat on the stairs shaking and crying while gripping her disheveled hair.<br /> The front door was ajar, I moved to lock it but the sight of Mariana's car took my breath away. I looked across the street to mine and it looked even worst.<br /> I shook my head, sighed and turned too quickly, causing a searing pain in the bullet wound.<br /> I called my driver Michael and told him to be quick and discreet.<br /> Mariana got dressed in the meantime while we waited with bated breaths.<br /> Michael arrived in about 10 minutes, his eyes expressed shock but he knew better than to ask any questions.<br /> He drove us to Wyckoff Medical, the only place I knew would be discreet about what happened.<br /> Using the back entrance, we were quickly ushered into separate rooms for assessment.<br /> As I laid on the bed, I felt Dr. Green prodding my wound for the bullet. He's been our family physician since I was a child, so when he asked who I pissed off this time , I sighed and ignored him.<br /> All I could think about was Kayan, she was my everything!<br /> Not anymore you prick, you screwed up and you're lucky to be alive, I shook my head, trying to shake guilt ridden thoughts from my subconscious.<br /> I reminisced on all the times we spent together, the plans we made for our future and our kids. I reflected on how she supported me even when my own father doubted me. She never gave up on me. You shut up Dimitri!<br /> Dr. Green waved his hand above my eyes while calling my name. " Did you hear anything I said just now?" he asked quietly.<br /> I sighed " No, what is it?". My tone was clipped but right now I didn't care, I could apologize later.<br /> He rolled his eyes before continuing "I said there's a detective waiting outside to talk to you, you know it's my duty to report this." He grabbed a scissors and cut the thread, signaling that he had finished stitching my wound.<br /> "You'll live, but stay off your feet for a few days, and use a crutch if you have to move around." Dr. Green bandaged my leg and was about to leave when I stopped him.<br /> "Wait, I apologize for my behavior Doc. Where's the young lady who came in with me? I need to see her now." He looked at me sadly, shook his head and left the room without a word.<br /> My guess is he figured out why Kayan hadn't rushed into the hospital demanding answers. The realization hit me of how I not only disappointed Kayan but everyone close to me, especially my parents. <br /> I must have dosed off from the pain medication I had gotten as I was woken up by Mariana gently shaking my shoulder and calling my name.<br /> Blinking my eyes to adjust to the bright lights, I grabbed the remote and adjusted my bed. Mariana looked terrible, her hair was unkempt and her eyes were swollen. Her right arm was bandaged and now in a sling.<br /> She sat in the chair beside the bed and hung her head low. " I spoke to the police, I told them we were mugged at the apartment as we were trying to finalize wedding arrangements." It was barely a whisper, but I sighed in relief.<br /> "We messed up but I agree, I'll tell them the same thing. Kayan doesn't deserve this." My throat felt hoarse so I reached for a tumbler with water, poured a cup and took several sips.<br /> " I told you we needed to stop Dimitri but you insisted on coming over!" I pinned her with a glare which caused her to shut up immediately.<br /> The nerve of this woman! I laughed coldly before turning to her " Oh so now it's my fault Mar? Surely you weren't complaining when I rammed your wet dripping private part with my shaft right? You never said stop! Anything else I'm forgetting?" My chest was heaving by the time I finished ranting.<br /> I was about to continue but her sobs erupted. She looked at me lost, guilt etched across her face before she stood to leave.<br /> "Look Mar, I'm sorry okay. I just don't know what to do." I held her wrist, my thumb caressing the inside of her hand in a comforting way. "How did she get in though?"<br /> Mariana was trembling as tears streamed down her face. She took a deep breath before she spoke. "I forgot she had a key from over a year ago. She would always check the place when I traveled for a convention or went to see my family."<br /> My mouth opened to speak but no words were forthcoming and they never came as the door banged open, slamming into the wall denting it.<br /> Jumping with fright, we turned to see my very pissed off father and my distraught mother. Before I could utter a word, he spoke," You, get out now and don't let me see your face again!" Mariana jumped in fear and ran from the room sobbing before I could stop her.<br /> "Dad i can explain...." He slammed his hand onto the small table, knocking the tumbler over.<br /> My mom grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down but he flicked her hand away and grabbed my hospital gown roughly, "Explain what exactly Dimitri? How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> "I'm going to fix this Dad, just give me a chance please." I turned towards my mom seeking support but she turned her head away from me. " Mom, please I'm sorry, I'll fix this. I'm gonna make everything right."<br /> My Dad simply scoffed at my words, took my Mom's hands and walked out the door.<br /> The only sound that filled the room was that of the water droplets bouncing on the floor.<br /> ---- <br /> Mariana<br /> I have never been more regretful in my entire life. My head was throbbing non stop, my eyes were puffy from all the tears I'd shed in the past 24 hours. My mind replayed the events and all I could think of, was that I should be dead by Kayan's hands.<br /> My driver dropped me off to the apartment, and as I stepped inside I once again surveyed the damage. Nothing was left untouched, I had to start over but I guess that's the price to pay for stabbing your best friend in the back for six months.<br /> I wanted to stop so many times, I knew it was wrong but Dimitri was like a spirit I couldn't get enough of.<br /> We decided to take the secret to our graves and everything was going great until I saw him a week later at Danny's Cafe. We sat and talked for a while but after an hour when we attempted to leave, the sexual tension was just too much to ignore.<br /> From thereon, we used our lunch breaks and any free time we could muster to screw each other senseless. After each encounter, we'd say it was the last time , but that never happened as soon after I took trips when he did or he came to my apartment before going home.<br /> All this time, I gave Kayan a million excuses as to why we couldn't meet up, continued planning her wedding virtually and offered excuses when she whined about Dimitri being overly consumed by work.<br /> I even ended things with my own boyfriend as our relationship became strained and miserable because of my infidelity.<br /> Now this is the endgame, I lost my best friend who always stood by me and I'm pretty sure Dimitri and I have no future.<br /> Sitting on the stairs, I decided to take a leap of faith and call Kayan. If I could just get her to listen to me for a second, I would tell her how sorry I am and try to fix things.<br /> As I dialed her number, it went directly to voice-mail, and after trying a few more times unsuccessfully, I decided to go see her. I ordered an Uber, waiting outside for a few minutes before the car pulled up.<br /> I got in, gave the driver her address and stared blankly out the window. The only sounds were that of the music playing in the dashboard.<br /> Ten minutes later, I was standing on the curb outside Kayan's townhouse. Hesitantly, I opened the gate, trudged up the steps and rang the bell. I was there waiting for a few minutes, I called her but there was no response.<br /> I walked to the garden by the lamp post where she always hid a spare key. It was gone.<br /> Just as I was about to step from the yard, I was stopped in my tracks by a faint voice. My hopes increased but when I turned around expecting Kayan, no one was there.<br /> What was that then, I thought to myself.<br /> I reopened the Uber app, placed my request and waited by the curb.<br /> "She's not here you know." I was startled by the voice and was relieved to see her neighbor Michael.<br /> "What do you mean? Where is she?" I asked hurriedly.<br /> He eyed me suspiciously before replying,<br /> "Seeing you here looking like poop tells me you had a role in Kay's sudden departure 2 hours ago." His words were true yet hurtful, I castedmy eyes down in shame.<br /> "You don't know, Mike, just tell me where she went, I need to talk to her before it's too late" I begged him.<br /> The prick was nonchalant as he leant against her gate typing away on his phone. After getting a ping, indicating a message, he looked up at me smirking.<br /> "Well if you must know, my girl left for England indefinitely..." he paused, struggling to hold back a snicker, "...Oh and she says you should go yourself or Dimatro, whatever the pretty boy's name is." Michael was now clutching his side laughing hysterically while I sighed in defeat.<br /> She's gone! And now there's no way I will find her because I can't go to her family and I'm pretty sure she's already changed her number!<br /> I didn't warrant Michael a response since the Uber pulled up, I hopped in and left.<br /> My phone began vibrating in my pocket and I grabbed it quickly, just hoping it would be Kayan. I was disappointed as Dimitri's name flashed on the screen.<br /> "What do you want Dimitri? Haven't we done enough, didn't you hear what your father said?" I shouted angrily, catching sight of the driver's raised brows in the rear view mirror.<br /> "Calm down Mari, I wanted to apologize for my Dad. I'm getting discharged now so I'm heading home, I need to sort things out with Kay." Though I had wanted the same thing minutes ago, I couldn't help the pang of jealousy that gripped me.<br /> Before I could stop myself I snarled in response<br /> "Thanks for asking how I'm doing you prick! Oh and don't bother going there because she's gone!"<br /> "What are you talking about Mari! This is not the time to joke with me..." I'd had enough of his nonsense so I cut him mid sentence " Kay's gone Dimitri, I just left the house, she's not home and her neighbor says she left for England." The other end of the line was silent.<br /> I looked at the screen to see if the call had been disconnected but the line was still open.<br /> "Dimitri?" He sighed in response and I heard him grunt in pain, perhaps moving too quickly on his injured leg.<br /> "I'm here Mari. How will I fix things if I don't know where to find her? Of all the places, she had to chose England!? Couldn't she have just gone to her parents? What am I going to do now?"<br /> I wanted to speak but my throat felt as if it was clogged.<br /> I cut the call, switched to airplane mode and rested my head against the window as fresh salty tears rolled down my cheeks.<br /> I lost everything.<br /> My best friend. Dimitri . And a family who accepted me without judgement and showed me nothing but love all these years. | Lio111 | 16 | https://facebook.com/61554822209907 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

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. 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.

And he said he would never hurt me.<br /> He was my everything, in these few short moments, he has given me a safe haven, a home in his arms.<br /> When I came to his pack with him, I noticed that everyone around me was staring at us.<br /> โSeriously, why are they staring at us? Itโs kind of creepy,โ I asked him.<br /> โLuna, itโs so good to meet you!โ a girl said to me.<br /> โWhy are you calling me Luna, and what is wrong with all these people? Have you never seen an overgrown giant carry a broken girl before?โ<br /> โWe are calling you Luna because Drake is our alpha.โ<br /> My jaw drops as I look back at Drake. <br /> โThey are all staring at him because they are scared of him. He is Alpha Drake Moon of the Blood Moon pack.โ<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Lilly's POV<br /> I limp out of the room. It takes all of our concentration to stay on our feet, but after a minute bile rises up my throat. My insides churn as I trip and fall, the ground moving below me, but as I land, I land in someoneโs arms.<br /> I look up, my eyes watering as I take a large inhale of his scent, the anxiety and turmoil inside my body relaxing as I look into his perfect, perfect face. Tingles of pleasure ripple under my skin as his hands hold my body, replacing the pain with peace. As our eyes meet itโs like a current flows through me, straight into him. Layla gasps as we watch each other.<br /> โMate.โ<br /> โMate,โ we both cry at the same time, tears flooding my vision as he pulls me against him.<br /> โWhaโoh myโwho did this?โ he roars, my body flinching. โSorry, no, donโt be scared of me. But who would do this?โ he says to me, stuttering.<br /> I wasnโt sure if he was talking to me or not, or maybe he was just in shock, rambling because he was nervous.<br /> But before I could find out, My body shuts off as I pass out in the mate of my dreamsโ arms, Layla finally relaxing as the world around us goes into darkness.<br /> --<br /> I wake up with a sense of loss. I panic, not knowing where I am. Machines are beeping, I am cold, I have no idea what is going on.<br /> My heart pounds in my chest as I try to move, my body screams in pain. Iโm blinded by a light as I try and remember what is going on.<br /> The faster my heart rate beats the louder the beeping gets. I squint, lifting my head.<br /> Just then the man of my dreams runs through the door. Realising I am dreaming I take a breath, relaxing as my breathing starts to level out.<br /> โAre you ok!!!โ He grabs my face. But to my shock sparks light up all over my body. Layla pushes forward as his touch wakes us up.<br /> โThat doesnโt normally happen,โ I whisper to him.<br /> He frowns. โWhat doesnโt?โ<br /> His voice is louder than usual. It was like velvet, smooth but strong, demanding but patient. The sound brought life to my ears, filling me with hope.<br /> โIn my dreams you didnโt feel sparky.โ<br /> Layla pushes forward, purring as she moves our head into his hands. He looks at me, puzzled. โYou dreamed of me?โ<br /> โAm I not dreaming now?โ I ask.<br /> His eyebrow shoots up into the air as he lets out a chuckle, shaking his head. โNope, Iโm all real, babe.โ<br /> My mind is racing, trying to think of what he is talking about. What day was it? What happened? When did he get here? I had so many questions that I needed answers too, but every time I tried to ask, the sheer beauty of his face stunned me to silence.<br /> โYouโre not dreaming, Lilly. This is real, he is real,โ<br /> Layla tells me softly. Tears pool in my eyes as I take in every inch of his perfect face.<br /> He is all man, ruggedly handsome. His messy hair was long, out of place where his fingers had slipped through his dark brown locks. It is scissor cut at the sides, giving definition to his sharp and chiselled jaw. The muscles in his cheeks ripple as he talks.<br /> He must be 25/30 years old, clean shaven and so so beautiful. His dark long lashes frame his beautiful brown eyes. They hold wisdom, sparkling against the bright light, but the dark circles under his eyes had me worrying.<br /> Was he ok? Why did he look so tired? So stressed?<br /> He is tall, really tall, maybe 6ft 2/6ft 4. His large wide shoulders are perfectly proportioned to his huge muscular body. The black T-shirt he was wearing stretched over his body, fitting him far to snug for my liking.<br /> A sense of jealousy overwhelms me as I see what every other female sees, simply put he was walking, talking perfection and the thought of anyone but me ogling him left a bad taste in my mouth.<br /> My dreams have done him justice, but not even my subconscious could muster up the true beauty that stands before me.<br /> I reach out to touch him, my hand connecting to his face, sparks lighting up my fingertips as I watch him, amazed that anyone could be this beautiful, shocked that he was made for little old me and fearful that I would never be worthy of such a hunk.<br /> But as he closes his eyes at my touch, moaning, I canโt help the smile that spreads across my face.<br /> I was stunned that I too could make him feel that same sense of peace and acceptance that he made me feel every time we touched.<br /> dropping his head slightly, his breath fans my face.<br /> My body goes to blubber as his sweet vanilla scent makes my mouth water, setting every nerve end in my body on fire. Filling me with need and a desire so strong it almost chokes me.<br /> Layla pushes forward before I have the chance to stop her, her own strength overpowering my body easily, she grabs his face and slams our lips against his.<br /> My eyes slam closed and my mind comes to life, every colour of the rainbow explodes behind my eyelids as our lips touch for the very first time.<br /> We both freeze in shock, I was nervous he would reject us, but my body slowly relaxes as he busses me back.<br /> My body immediately responds, my lips fit against his perfectly, made for each other, like it was always meant to be.<br /> He moans as his tongue softly prods at my lips. My mouth opens just as he sweeps his tongue against my own. My body jolts to life when the sparks start in my mouth and spread throughout my body.<br /> Our buss is amazing, all consuming as every painful sore muscle loosens, my body wrapping around his as I pull him towards me. All sense goes out the window at his touch.<br /> โAchhhhhhhhhmmm.โ<br /> He starts to pull away but Layla isnโt having it, instead dragging him closer.<br /> โAcccchhhhhhemmmmmmm.โ<br /> He pulls back only slightly, chuckling when I realise we are no longer alone but Layla continues to cling to him, not wanting to let him go.<br /> โBabe, the doctorโs here to see you. Maybe we can pick this up when we are alone.โ My face flushes red.<br /> โOh, sorry. I might have gotten a little carried away,โ<br /> Layla tells me, giggling. I roll my eyes at her. โA little? Jeez, I donโt even know his name,โ I snap back as she cackles away in my head.<br /> โIโm so sorry, Iโm so embarrassed,โ I whisper, my cheeks heating. He snorts, shaking his head. โDonโt be, I didnโt want to stop either.โ<br /> A girly giggle escapes my lips at the fact someone that bloody beautiful wanted to buss me. Just then the doctor walks over, smiling. โDonโt worry about it. I canโt say I blame you to be honest,โ he tells my mate, winking. My mate growls, glaring at him. โMine,โ he snaps.<br /> The doctor snorts, shaking his head as I blush again, bright red. Gosh, I canโt remember ever blushing this much before ever.<br /> โWhatโs your first name?โ the doctor asks.<br /> โItโs Lilly, Lilly Morgan,โ I say with a small smile. โAnd what pack are you from, Lilly?โ<br /> Oh, the pack! My dadโs going to kill me. I am meant to be helping them.<br /> โOh, fuckity balls!โ I squeak, jumping up and looking around the room.<br /> โHey, wow, itโs ok! Stay calm, youโre ok here.โ I shake my head, realising my clothes are covered in dry blood.<br /> My mate runs his hand up and down my back gently. โShhh, itโs ok, I promise.โ<br /> I take a breath, his touch calming both me and Layla. It almost makes me feel sedated as my entire body relaxes. โUm, Iโm from Droim Mor pack,โ I say nervously, afraid I will get in trouble.<br /> โAnd what happened to you, Lilly?โ I chew my bottom lip. What do I say? I look between them nervously.<br /> โHe is our mate. We can trust him.โ<br /> โBut what will he do? What if dad turns him against us?โ<br /> She shakes her head. โNo, no more thinking about him. We need to move on, Lilly, and our mate is the way out!โ<br /> โLilly, itโs ok. They wonโt hurt you ever again. But I need to know who hurt you, baby.โ I look into his eyes and every fibre in my body believes what he says, but it is still extremely hard to admit it out loud.<br /> โMyyy f-atherrr,โ I whisper.<br /> He lets out a sharp growl. My body tenses at the noise. I clench my eyes closed, taking a deep breath to calm my racing heart.<br /> Suddenly the noise stops and his hands land on my back, calming me once again. โSorry Lilly, I didnโt mean to scare you.โ<br /> He lifts my chin, his eyes meeting mine. โI wonโt hurt you, I wonโt ever hurt YOU.โ<br /> Every emotion possible passes through me at his words, my heart shattering as all the fear, the anxiety and depression all come crashing down as I sob into my hands. I had been holding it all back for years, only letting a little escape at a time.<br /> But it felt like it was a dam that my mate pulled to pieces in a few short seconds, exposing the truth of the past, the pain that I had been through and the trauma that I would live with forever.<br /> โItโs ok, he wonโt hurt us,โ Layla says softly, trying to comfort me.<br /> โI know, but I canโt believe itโs over,โ I tell her. He pulls me against his chest, running his hand up and down my back. โShhhhh, itโs ok, Iโve got you now, babe.โ<br /> For some silly reason that makes me cry harder. Every pain, break, bruise, every time he raped me, hit me, kicked me. It all hits me, it all destroys me as I cry it all out. I felt like a weak little girl, being held together by a big strong man. Strangely, I didnโt hate it, in fact, I craved that strength, that safe space where I could fall apart and still be held together.<br /> He was it, he was my everything, in these few short moments, he has given me a safe haven, a home in his arms.<br /> โIโm so sorry, Iโm so sorry I scared you, Iโm so sorry I wasnโt there. But I am now, and nobody will ever hurt you again,โ he tells me, rubbing calming circles up and down my back.<br /> I pull back, wiping my face as I shake my head. โItโs not on you, he did this, not you.โ I use his shirt to wipe my tears.<br /> He chuckles, watching me as I pull myself together.<br /> When Iโm done sobbing like a big baby he lifts my chin and he places a gentle buss against my lips.<br /> โOk, Lilly, I need you to lie back so I can check you over,โ<br /> the doctor says, pulling me from my thoughts.I smile, lying back as he comes to my side.<br /> My mate whose name is still a mystery glares at him. He watches as he lifts my top to check my body. My mateโs eyes widen as he gasps, looking to the doctor and back to me.<br /> He starts to poke and prod at me. Nothing hurts all that much. I look like bad but I no longer feel like bad. Layla turns away from me, going to the back of my head and shutting me out.<br /> โI donโt know how, Lilly, but your ribs are already healed.โ<br /> โYeah, they donโt hurt either.โ He frowns, looking to my mate. His face is like stone as the doctor helps me sit up.<br /> Other than feeling a little dizzy I feel ok. He checks me over, shining lights in my eyes, tapping my reflexes and checking the wound on my head.<br /> โOther than a concussion and a lot of bruising, your body has somehow healed. Iโm not sure how, but it has.โ He starts writing stuff down on a chart. โIf you promise to take it easy I donโt see why you canโt take her home today.โ<br /> I look to my mate awkwardly. His face lights up as he smiles down at me. โI think I can see to that.โ<br /> I sigh in relief. The thought of going back near that monster makes me feel physically ill. โOf course it goes without saying that you stay far away from your father.โ<br /> โDonโt worry, if I have my way she wonโt ever see his dirty rotten face again,โ he snaps.<br /> I smirk up at him as he turns, lifting a bag and placing it on the bed beside me. โI had my people run out and grab you some clothes.โ<br /> โPeople? You have people?โ I ask, chewing my lip. He nods. โYes, we have people now,โ he answers.<br /> โDo you need help getting changed, Lillyโโ Before the doctor even has a chance to answer, our mate growls, his wolf pushing forward and grabbing him by the scruff of the neck. โMine!โ The doctor puts his hands in the air.<br /> โI meant the nurses! Youโre really big,โ he wheezes, catching his hand. Satisfied with that answer, our mate drops him. โIf my mate needs help I will help her,โ he snaps impatiently.<br /> โYes, I think we have established that, jeez.โ He pats his shirt down, clearly amused by the entire thing as I take into a fit of giggles, shaking my head.<br /> โSo not to make things awkward but would you mind telling me your name?โ I ask, scratching the back of my head. The doctor bursts out laughing at the fact.<br /> My mate smirks, looking at me. โDrake, Drake Moon.โ<br /> โSeven, double O seven,โ the doctor teases. Drake glares at him as I laugh, shaking my head. โYou realise itโs Bond, James Bond, right?โ I ask, his face flushes red.<br /> Drake snorts, laughing with me.<br /> โYeah, I think itโs time for Mr Bond over here to get out, get out right now,โ he snaps at the poor doctor.<br /> I am so busy laughing I donโt even care that that was totally rude. โJust trying to lighten the mood, dude, but whatever. Good luck, Lilly.โ He winks as he leaves, closing the door behind him.<br /> Drake watches him go. Then he turns back to me. โDid he just call me dude?โ He says it like it tastes funny, screwing his face up as I laugh even harder. He chuckles, pulling clothes out of the bag for me.<br /> โWe didnโt know your size, so Fiona got you one of those long dresses with a cardigan.โ He pulls out a black maxi dress with a yellow cardigan. It is simple but pretty.<br /> I pull off my shirt and hand it to him. His eyes widen as he freezes, his eyes on my chest. I take the dress from his hand and I pull it over my head, smirking at him. โYou ok over there?โ I ask.<br /> He shakes himself a little, his eyes returning to my eyes as his face flares slightly. โYeah, sorry. I just wasnโt prepared,โ he says, clearing his throat.<br /> I chuckle, grabbing the cardigan. I pull it on. He hands me a brush next, so I pull it through my tangled web of hair, giving up and pulling it into a messy bun on my head.<br /> โWhat time is it? Iโm starving.โ<br /> โBreakfast.โ Iโm surprised by that. โHow long have I been sleeping?โ He checks the time on his watch. โI found you at 3pm yesterday. Itโs seven now, so 16 hours.โ<br /> I shake my head. โHe started the beating at around seven yesterday morning. I must have passed out until I walked into you.โ<br /> His jaw ticks, closing his eyes. โIโve never seen anything like it before. I donโt know how you were even conscious and I definitely donโt know how youโre healed right now.โ<br /> I shrug, wondering that too. Layla is still locking me out so she is zero help. He passes me my Converses next so I pull them on and touch my toes to the floor, cringing as the muscles in my legs ache. He catches my hips as I take a step, my head going woozy as I grab hold of his arms.<br /> โWow,โ I snap, losing my balance.<br /> He scoops me up. โYeah, youโre not walking anywhere like that. Iโll just have to carry you,โ he smirks, planting a soft buss against my lips. I smile against his lips, relaxing into his arms as he surrounds me, making my tiny frame feel so safe.<br /> โDo you want to eat in the room or in the dining hall with myโno, sorry, our people?โ I wish I knew what โour peopleโ meant.<br /> Layla comes forward smiling at me. โDo it! I want to meet them,โ she tells me encouragingly. โThe dining hall, please.โ<br /> He smiles, grabbing my phone off the side table and he hands it to me. I check it as we walk. I have so many messages from Emma. Feeling guilty, I open them immediately.<br /> โHey howโs the summit?โ<br /> โHey where are you?โ<br /> โLilly youโre doing that really annoying thing that you do, text me back please!!โ<br /> โOh for heaven's sake you better have a good excuse for not answering meโ<br /> โWho is that?โ Drake asks, pushing his head between me and my phone to look at my messages. I giggle. โItโs my best friend Emma. Sorry, only friend. She just met her mate and moved to the Blood Moon pack and she gets crazy if I donโt text her back.โ<br /> He smirks, pursing his lips. โWhat does she think of it? Blood Moon I mean?โ<br /> I shrug. โShe seems to like it ok, said the people are nice. The alpha is a little scary but the pack is better than the one we came from.โ<br /> He nods his head. โWhy is he scary?โ he asks, screwing up his nose.<br /> โI donโt know. She said when he walks into the room he shuts most conversations down. He only really socialises with his ranked members.โ He shrugs.<br /> โMaybe he only socialises with his ranked members because thatโs all the people in the world he can trust. Blood Moonโs a big pack, a lot of people would be out for his job.โ I nod my head. โI hear that. Up until now Emma is the only person in the world that I can trust.โ<br /> He smiles, not adding anything more as I type a message back.<br /> โHey sorry, I met my mate and I didnโt have my phone. But Iโm ok, I can ring you later when things settle downโ<br /> โIf you trust her, why are you lying to her?โ I shrug.<br /> โI donโt want her to worry about something she canโt change. Sheโs all the way there and Iโm all the way here, plus Iโm ok really.โ<br /> โYouโre ok? Lilly youโre black and blue. You have a concussion. You are the definition of not ok.โ I smirk at him.<br /> Layla purses her lips. โMaybe he has a point,โ she says thoughtfully. โI am, yeah Iโm black and blue, but Iโm not in pain. I found you. To me Iโm ok.โ<br /> He smiles at me. โYouโre really rather remarkable, arenโt you?โ I blush as he drops his head in the crook of my neck, sniffing me. โAnd you smell so good!โ<br /> He nips my neck with his teeth, sending a shiver straight down my spine. I gasp at the feel of his lips against my skin. It feels like I have just found my heart and soul. Now itโs having a party, celebrating the fact that we are finally back together.<br /> โSo these people that are ours, who are they?โ I ask, trying to distract myself from the flooding of my arousal flowing through my body. I definitely donโt want the entire lobby smelling my arousal. โJust our people,โ he says, heading towards the dining room.<br /> โBut why are they our people?โ He purses his lips, thinking. As we walk, everyone in our path steps out of it. It is like they are grapes shrivelling up and turning into raisins.<br /> --<br /> Reaching the dining hall the entire place goes quiet. I look behind us, wondering what they are afraid of. He snorts, chuckling.<br /> โWhat are they so afraid of?โ I snap, making him laugh, shaking his head. A table not far in front of us all stand up, grinning as we approach. But by now you could hear a pin drop. The entire place has completely shut down.<br /> โSeriously, why are they staring at us? Itโs kind of creepy.โ He just continues to chuckle as two men and a lady smile. โLuna, itโs so good to meet you!โ I freeze, looking up at Drake.<br /> โWhy is he laughing, why are you calling me Luna, and what is wrong with all these people? Have you never seen an overgrown giant carry a broken girl before?โ<br /> I snap louder, glaring at the crowd as Drake throws his head back, howling. His friends look between each other, then back at us. โI canโtโyouโtellโher, I canโt,โ he splutters, taking a seat with me on his knee.<br /> The girl starts to giggle, shaking her head. โWe are calling you Luna because Drake is our alpha, me and Ben are his betas, and Mark is his gamma.โ<br /> My jaw drops as I look back at Drake. โThey are all staring at him because they are scared of him. He is Alpha Drake Moon of the Blood Moon pack.โ<br /> My face falls as I gasp. Turning around I slap his shoulder. โYou big prick, you let me go on and on.โ<br /> He howls in laughter again as the crowd around us gasp at me hitting him.<br /> โOh shut up. Heโs my mate, Iโm allowed to hit him.โ I glare at an old pair sitting behind us as Drake takes a deep steadying breath.<br /> โI swear that was amazing,โ Drake says as he finally stops laughing at me. He leans forward, bussing my lips as I glare at him.<br /> โOh come on, donโt be grumpy. It was a little funny.โ I smirk, trying to hide my smile. Lifting my fingers I pinch them together. โOk, maybe a little.โ<br /> He pecks my lips again, pulling back, and he buries his head in the crook of my neck, sniffing in my scent. His body relaxes immediately as I look back at โour peopleโ.<br /> โSo Iโm a luna? Are you sure you want me as a luna?โ<br /> I ask, screwing up my face.<br /> โOh we want you as a luna! You just hit the alpha. I love you already and there is no give backs. We are keeping you,โ the one called Ben says.<br /> Fiona nods her head in agreement. โAgreed, we are keeping you.โ<br /> โI also think youโre awesome,โ Mark adds.<br /> Drake snorts. โYouโve never called me any of those things.โ<br /> โThatโs because youโre a big grump. Luna Lilly is already winning,โ Fiona says. Drake flips her the bird. โThatโs your birthday present going into the furnace when I get home.โ<br /> She snorts, rolling her eyes. โOh please, I have your card in my back pocket. I donโt need no half assed attempt at a gift when I can just buy my own, thank you very much,โ<br /> she snaps, opening her menu and winking at me. I giggle as Drake rolls his eyes.<br /> โSo are we ever going to get to the part where you tell us who did that to you, Luna?โ My body tenses immediately. All thoughts of my father have all but disappeared. But as I shake off the feeling and go to open my mouth I hear a growl rumbling through the dining hall.<br /> One so familiar my entire body runs cold. My heart rate accelerates as all the breath leaves my lungs. I scrunch my eyes closed as my frame starts to tremble in fear, tears pooling in my eyes. Waiting for the hit that usually came after that terrifying sound. | Shep002 | 61 | https://facebook.com/100093452425291 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

"<br /> "Elliot, what's going on?" I look at him, then at her, and back at him.<br /> He quickly stands up from his seat. "She was just leaving. Weren't you, Clara?<br /> She bats her eyelashes rapidly. "Honey, I think it's time for her to learn the truth. Don't you agree?"<br /> Clara laughs, looking at me. "I'm the woman who slept with him yesterday and the days before."<br /> "Taylor, please let me explain." He has the nerve to plead with me, after what he did.<br /> No. I won't stay here and listen as he tries to find an excuse for what he did. <br /> "Taylor, please. I want to talk to you." He tries again.<br /> "There's nothing to talk about" I snap at him.<br /> <br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> <br /> I take the stairs to go to my apartment. Iโm so lost in my thoughts, that I donโt pay any attention to my surroundings.<br /> "Watch it!โ Someone warns me.<br /> I look up, and a man that I have never seen before is standing right in front of me. He has dark hair cut in a military style and deep blue eyes. I see tattoos on his neck that seem to go all the way down to his torso. I canโt help, but think how handsome he is. I take a step back to put some distance between us.<br /> He must be my new neighbour.<br /> I smile as I present my hand to him. โHello, my name is Taylor Walker. Whatโs yourโs?โ<br /> He glares at me as if Iโm already a nuisance to him. โAnnoyed.โ He let out as he walks past me.<br /> Rude! I say to myself before I keep walking up the stairs.<br /> I unlock the door with my keys and look through my mail. โBills. Bills. Bills.โ I mumble to myself.<br /> I will deal with them later. Right now, all I want is to take a cup of coffee before I put myself pretty for my date with Elliot.<br /> I donโt smoke or drink. My only dope is coffee. I need at least four cups per day, and thatโs when I have a good day.<br /> As I make a cup of coffee for myself, I take a disposable cup to make another one. I donโt know why I even bother with this. So why am I purring a second cup for a man I donโt even know, is beyond me.<br /> Okay, Iโll admit. I didnโt like our first encounter.<br /> I wonder if he takes sugar or milk. He seems like a man that likes his coffee black.<br /> I bite my lips nervously as I pass my threshold.<br /> Why am I doing this again? I ask myself on the way to his apartment.<br /> I know where he leaves. Heโs my next-door neighbour.<br /> I clear my throat as I knock on his door.<br /> No response.<br /> I knock again.<br /> โWhat the freak do you want?โ He snaps at me while he opens his door.<br /> My heart skips a beat. Maybe itโs because of his deep blue eyes that they keep staring at me as if they want to devour my soul or something.<br /> I smile so he wonโt notice how nervous he makes me. โUhmm, I wanted to properly welcome you to the building.โ I give him the cup of coffee that I made for him.<br /> He takes a drag at his cigar, looking at my body all the way up to my eyes. โAre you here, because you want to freak?โ<br /> My jaw drops on the floor. โWhat? No!โ I nearly scream at him.<br /> He chuckles, seeing my reaction. โThatโs what I thought.โ He starts to close the door.<br /> โWait, you could at least tell me your name.โ I wonโt back down, even if his words made me uncountable. I put my hand in my chest to give a little drama. โDonโt tell me that a man at your size is scared by a little woman like myself.โ Itโs my turn to tease him.<br /> Iโm five foot tall, and heโs like six. Heโs a mountain man.<br /> He takes the cup from my hand. โIโm not scared. Thank you for the coffee, buttercup.โ He then closes the door in my face.<br /> Argh!<br /> You donโt get to take my coffee and not answer my question.<br /> I knock on his door harder this time.<br /> โLeave me the freak alone!โ He says, glaring at me.<br /> I shake my head stubbornly. โNot until you tell me your name. Itโs rude otherwise.โ<br /> โYou wonโt leave me the freak alone, is that it?โ He let out a growl. โOwen Blake. Now Piss off!โ Once again he closes the door in my face.<br /> I smirk as I walk back to my place.<br /> I look at the time. โFreak! Iโm going to be late for my date with Elliot. I have to hurry to get ready.โ<br /> I drink my coffee in a hurry and run inside the bathroom to take a shower.<br /> Elliot and I have been together for over a year now. He wants me to move in with him, but I donโt want to. I love my independence and my apartment to give them up.<br /> I brush my teeth after my shower as a towel covers my body.<br /> As I look inside my closet, I wonder what Iโm going to wear. I think Iโm going to go with my green cocktail dress and some black heels. I decided to put light makeup on myself.<br /> I run, hearing my cell phone inside the kitchen. โHello.โ<br /> โHey, baby,โ Elliot says over the phone. โIโm sorry, but I have to reschedule our date. I have an emergency at work that I canโt get out of.โ<br /> I sigh. Itโs not the first time that this has happened.<br /> โI can always come over tomorrow.โ He suggests.<br /> โSure.โ<br /> โI am sorry, but I truly have to go now. See you tomorrow.โ He hung up before I have the chance to say goodbye to him.<br /> I just got dressed for nothing.<br /> I need some air.<br /> I grab my jacket to go upstairs to the rooftop. I love to go there and think.<br /> As I arrive, I stare up at the sky. A full moon is out tonight.<br /> I hear a noise and when I look to where it was coming from, I jump as I see a shadow not far from me.<br /> โRelax, buttercup. Itโs just me.โ He smirks, seeing my reaction.<br /> I put my hand on my chest while my heart beat fast. โGod, Owen. Warn someone before you give them a heart attack.โ<br /> He takes a drag from his cigar, as he keeps staring at me.<br /> Will he stop doing that?<br /> โYou know, one of these days, this will kill you.โ I point at what he has in between his fingers.<br /> He exhales the smoke from his lungs while his eyes try to pierce my soul.<br /> I feel nervous under his stare, but at the same time, I feel drawn to them.<br /> โWho cares how I would die. Eventually, everyone will meet their fate. Not that I care, but where are you going dressing up like that?โ<br /> I look down on myself. โI was supposed to go out on a date with my boyfriend. He cancelled at the last minute. He has an emergency at work.โ<br /> Owen licks his lips. โMaybe heโs screwing with someone as we speak.โ<br /> I cross my arms in front of me, feeling annoyed by him. โWhy are you so mean to me? I never did something to deserve this. Besides, I trust him. He would never do something like that to me.โ<br /> I take a few steps to leave but stop at the last minute. โAll I did was try to be nice to you, and thatโs what I get.โ<br /> He frowns his eyebrows. โI never asked you freak. Itโs not my problem if you canโt handle the truth.โ<br /> โUgh, Iโm leaving,โ I say as I step further away from him.<br /> โGood riddance.โ He says loud enough for me to hear him.<br /> Owenโs words start to hunt me more than they should. I trust Elliot. Heโs a good man. Iโm sure all he wanted was a reaction from me, and he succeeded.<br /> Thatโs all and nothing else.<br /> I trust Elliot. I say one more time.<br /> <br /> I look around my apartment, and Iโm satisfied with the cleaning. Iโm not a clean freak. I just love my apartment to be spotless. While I cleaned my apartment, it distracted me from what happened yesterday.<br /> <br /> Owenโs words still bother me.<br /> <br /> โ<br /> Maybe heโs screwing with someone as we speak.โ<br /> <br /> Ugh! Why did he have to say this?<br /> <br /> I know it isnโt true. I trust Elliot. When we spend time together, he never gives me the impression that heโs cheating. Heโs always a sweetheart.<br /> <br /> Iโm so lost in my thoughts that when the doorโs bell ring, I jump a little.<br /> <br /> โIt must be Elliot,โ I say to myself as I go to answer the door.<br /> <br /> โHey, baby.โ Elliot smiles at me, holding a huge bouquet of red roses in his hands.<br /> <br /> Like I said, a sweetheart.<br /> <br /> I love roses. I think they are pretty, but they arenโt my favourite kind. The flower that I love the most is called sakura in Japanese. Which means cherry blossom.<br /> <br /> โAre those for me?โ I ask him.<br /> <br /> He smirks. โWhy of course. Only the best for my girlfriend.โ<br /> <br /> โWhat did I do to deserve such a gift?โ I play along.<br /> <br /> โDo I need a reason to spoil you?โ He wonders in a playful tone. โI saw them, and I thought of you.โ<br /> <br /> Out of nowhere, someone chuckles behind Elliot. As my boyfriend moves to the side, I see Owen ready to go inside his apartment while he has an arm around a womanโs waist.<br /> <br /> Off course.<br /> <br /> โ<br /> Are you here, because you want to freak?โ<br /> I remember Owen saying those words to me.<br /> <br /> Stop thinking about this, or youโre going to blush in front of him, and FYI you arenโt interested in him. You have a boyfriend so you can forget it. I scold myself.<br /> <br /> โSo this is the boyfriend.โ Owen looks at the flower in Elliotโs hands. Thatโs what I thought.โ He laughs, guiding his guest inside his apartment.<br /> <br /> What did he mean by thatโs what I thought?<br /> <br /> Is he referring to his words from last night?<br /> <br /> Why do I even bother racking my brain over this?<br /> <br /> Owen isnโt worth my time if he's acting like a jerk.<br /> <br /> Elliot clears his throat once we are inside my place. โSo, who was that?โ<br /> <br /> I take the bouquet from his hands. โOwen Blake, my new neighbour.โ<br /> <br /> He nods his head, but he doesnโt seem happy. โWhat did he mean by that what I thought? Did you speak to him?โ<br /> <br /> I open a kitchen cabinet to grab the vase. โHeโs my new neighbour. I couldnโt ignore him.โ<br /> <br /> Even if heโs an hip.<br /> <br /> โSo.โ He rubs his chin with his fingers. โWhat did he mean when he said thatโs what I thought?โ He repeats the question.<br /> <br /> I bite my lips nervously. I donโt know how he will react if I tell him, but I canโt lie to him. That wonโt be fair. Besides, I donโt have anything to hide.<br /> <br /> I pour some water inside the vase. โI told him that you were working late last night, and he said that it was because you were cheating on me. โ<br /> <br /> He frowns. โDid you believe him?โ<br /> <br /> I shake my head. โOf course not. I know you will never do such a thing to me.โ<br /> <br /> He let out a sight. โI donโt like this.โ<br /> <br /> I turn my head to look at him. โYou donโt like what?โ<br /> <br /> He folds his arms in front of him. โHim. He seems dangerous. You should stay clear of him. Better yet, come live with me permanently.โ<br /> <br /> Not this again!<br /> <br /> We already talked about this. He knows exactly where I stand on that matter. How should I put this in words so I wonโt upset his feelings? He barely stepped inside my apartment, and we are already talking about this.<br /> <br /> Yes, we argue sometimes. We are a couple. Everyone argues sometimes.<br /> <br /> I cut the edges of the roses before I put them in the vase. โ We talked about this. Iโm not going to move in with you, just because you dislike my neighbour. Iโm a big girl, I can take care of myself.โ<br /> <br /> Freak!<br /> <br /> Was I too harsh?<br /> <br /> Elliot inhales sharply, nodding his head.<br /> <br /> I know heโs not happy with my answer, but itโs the truth. Iโm not saying. Iโm saying not right now.<br /> <br /> Maybe itโs time to change the subject?<br /> <br /> Before I have the chance to do any of that, I feel Elliotโs arms circling my waist from behind. โIโm sorry, okay? I donโt come here to argue with you.<br /> <br /> Itโs like he read my mind.<br /> <br /> I turn around to bring my arms around his neck. โSo, how was work yesterday?โ<br /> <br /> Elliot makes a face, looking at me. โI donโt want to talk about work when Iโm with you.โ<br /> <br /> Itโs not the answer that I was looking for. I canโt blame him as I didnโt give him the answer that he wanted. So I will put this matter to the side and concentrate on my boyfriend.<br /> <br /> I smile at him. โAnd do tell me, what do you have in mind?โ<br /> <br /> Elliot smirks before he pecks my lips. โTrust me, baby, I have an idea, but first I want us to go out, and then later at my place, I will show you what I have in mind.โ<br /> <br /> Yesterday, I took the time to make myself pretty for our date that didnโt even happen. If he wants to take me out, he will have to take me with what Iโm wearing.<br /> <br /> I move away from him to go grab my purse and my jacket.<br /> <br /> โAre you going to change first?โ He wonders, looking at my body.<br /> <br /> I put my hand on my waist. โAre you saying that what Iโm wearing isnโt good enough for you?<br /> <br /> โNo.โ Heโs quick to say. โIt's just that I love seeing you in a cute little dress.โ<br /> <br /> I cross my arms in front of me. โIf you havenโt ditched me yesterday, you would have seen me into one.โ<br /> <br /> โIt wasnโt my fault. I had an emergency, and you know it.โ His words raise a little as he speaks.<br /> <br /> Thatโs exactly what I wanted to avoid us arguing.<br /> <br /> I go to him and peck him on the cheek. โIโm sorry, okay. I donโt know why I said that. I know it was out of hand on my part. Can we go now?โ<br /> <br /> He leaves a peck on my forehead. โIโm sorry too.โ<br /> <br /> Elliot takes my hand in his to guide us out of my place. I guess he doesnโt want to argue either.<br /> <br /> As we walk, a noise that comes from Owenโs apartment makes me freeze on the spot.<br /> <br /> โYes! Yes! Blake, yes!โ<br /> <br /> I bite my lips. I never screamed this way when Iโm intimate with Elliot. Am I missing something? Iโm not saying that our drill life is boring, Iโve never been so loud.<br /> <br /> Is it me, or does Elliot make us walk faster than necessary?<br /> <br /> I look around after the hostess of the restaurant shows us our table. As I look around, I notice that everyone is wearing nice clothes. We are definitely in a luxury fashion restaurant.<br /> <br /> I should have probably listened to Elliot and worn something nicer.<br /> <br /> Did he do it on purpose?<br /> <br /> No, Iโm sure he didnโt. I donโt even know why it crossed my mind.<br /> <br /> As I sit on the chair, I notice that the woman whoโs sitting to my right is judging me for the way sheโs looking at me. Maybe it has something to do with what Iโm wearing. I feel undressed. Is it as if everyoneโs judging me? I clear my throat, looking at the menu instead.<br /> <br /> Elliot didnโt notice anything. Heโs on the phone with someone from his work. I donโt mind. Iโm used to it by now.<br /> <br /> โNo. No, this isnโt a good idea.โ Elliot frowns as he speaks. He doesnโt seem happy. โWe will deal with this tomorrow.โ He hung up right after.<br /> <br /> I look at him with concern. โIs everything ok?โ<br /> <br /> โMmhmm.โ He mumbles.<br /> <br /> I wonโt push on the matter. If he wants to talk about it, he will.<br /> <br /> A young woman around my age stands beside us. โHello, my name is Lucy. I will be your waitress for tonight. Are you ready to order?โ She asks with a smile on her lips.<br /> <br /> I look through the menu, and even though everything seems delicious. I decided to go with something light. โA Caesar salad for me.โ<br /> <br /> She nods her head, writing it on her pad. โAnything to drink?โ<br /> <br /> I shake my head. โNo. Just water, please.โ<br /> <br /> Lucy turns her intention to my boyfriend. โAnd you, sir?โ<br /> <br /> โIโm going to go with the lamb shanks and a bottle of your finest beverage.โ He closes the menu and gives it to her.<br /> <br /> I let out a sigh. Itโs not that Iโm bothered that he has money, but he doesnโt have to show it every time we go out. He would have brought me to a food truck for our date, and I would still enjoy myself. I donโt need much. Just spending time with him would be enough for me.<br /> <br /> Elliot takes my hand once Lucy leaves with our order. โSo, what did you do today?โ<br /> <br /> I give him a smirk. โI donโt want to talk about work. Wasnโt what you wanted?โ<br /> <br /> He let out a chuckle. โI guess I deserve that.โ<br /> <br /> I look to my right, and the woman from earlier once again is staring at me. The guy thatโs with her is trying to get her intentions, but he falls miserably.<br /> <br /> Poor guy.<br /> <br /> As Elliot looks at the same woman, I notice his expression change for only a second.<br /> <br /> Iโm about to ask him whatโs up with that when Iโm distracted by Lucy as she brings our meals.<br /> <br /> I get up from my seat. โIf youโll excuse me, Iโm going to powder my nose.โ<br /> <br /> Elliot takes my hand to leave a peck on my skin. โOk.โ<br /> <br /> Iโm not going to powder my nose. It was better to say this than say Iโm going to the toilet to do the number one. I have manners.<br /> <br /> Once Iโm finished, I look at my reflection in the mirror. The thing I love the most about me is my hair. At first, you think they are black, but when the light hits them, the brown shines through them.<br /> <br /> As I walk back to my table, I stop on my track. I see the woman from earlier sitting in my seat while she talks with Elliot. He doesnโt seem happy with her presence.<br /> <br /> Whatโs wrong with this picture? I wonder.<br /> <br /> When Elliot sees me approaching them, I see the panic in his eyes.<br /> <br /> Owenโs words from last night replay in my head.<br /> โ<br /> Maybe heโs screwing with someone as we speak.โ<br /> <br /> Am I gullible to think that Elliot isnโt cheating on me? I have to get to the bottom of this before I make any accusations. I could be wrong here. It can be nothing.<br /> <br /> โElliot, whatโs going on?โ I look at him, then at her, and back at him.<br /> <br /> He quickly stands up from his seat. โShe was just leaving. Werenโt you, Clara?<br /> <br /> She bats her eyelashes rapidly. โHoney, I think itโs time for her to learn the truth. Donโt you agree?โ<br /> <br /> I cross my arms in front of me. โAnd who exactly are you?โ<br /> <br /> I suspect whatโs going on.<br /> <br /> Clara laughs, looking at me. โIโm the woman who slept with him yesterday and the days before.โ<br /> <br /> I canโt believe this. He told me that he wasnโt cheating.<br /> <br /> I look around, and everyone is staring at us.<br /> <br /> I canโt believe what is happening.<br /> <br /> โTaylor.โ I hear Elliot says my name.<br /> <br /> I ignore him completely. I go grab my coat and purse to get out of here. On the way out I call a uber company to come and pick me up.<br /> <br /> Once Iโm outside, waiting. Someone grabs my hand, and I know who that is. Iโm quick to remove my hand from his hold.<br /> <br /> โTaylor, please let me explain.โ He has the nerve to plead with me, after what he did.<br /> <br /> No. I wonโt stay here and listen as he tries to find an excuse for what he did. I ignore him completely as I look ahead me.<br /> <br /> โTaylor, please. I want to talk to you.โ He tries again.<br /> <br /> โThereโs nothing to talk aboutโ I snap at him.<br /> <br /> โElliot, there you are.โ Clara joins us outside. โNow that she knows, we can finally be together.โ<br /> <br /> Donโt cry. I say to myself. Not here, and certainly not in front of her.<br /> <br /> He turns to look at her to ask her to leave. An argument between them starts, and thankfully, I see the uber appear on the road.<br /> <br /> Neither of them notices that I get in the uber.<br /> <br /> All I want is to go home. A tear falls down my cheek as I try to keep it at bay. The driver doesnโt seem to be effective in my situation. Iโm sure in his line of work he saw this a lot of times.<br /> <br /> I stand in front of my door with the keys in my hand. I donโt want to go in. Something tells me that Elliot is on his way to talk to me. I donโt want to see him.<br /> <br /> A stupid idea coss my mind.<br /> <br /> Iโm sure that Iโm going to regret this, but for now, itโs my best option. Elliot will never think to search for me there.<br /> <br /> I walk until Iโm in front of Owenโs door and knock on it.<br /> <br /> Freak! Maybe the girl that he was with is still with him.<br /> <br /> Iโm about to turn around as I change my mind when his door opens.<br /> <br /> He frowns at me. โItโs you again.โ<br /> <br /> โIโm sorry to bother you.โ I feel shy under his stare.<br /> <br /> I donโt know why Iโm standing here. I donโt even know the guy. I swallow my pride. โCan I come in, please? I argued with Eliott, and Iโm not ready to face him yet.โ<br /> <br /> To my surprise, he opens his door wider, just enough for me to enter his place. | Red111 | 15 | https://facebook.com/61554959872521 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

My dad is really mad at you and Raven being mates." Twin sister Reagan said to my mate.<br /> "I don't mind rejecting her, but I would have been embarrassed to face my mate" Justin said.<br /> "My father has decided to appoint me as his future Alpha not my sister Raven. So, I will be your luna." Reagan said to Justin.<br /> ******** <br /> I silently run through the woods letting my wolf Emerald out tonight. She has been anxious all day, well really the last few days, and I could tell that she needed to come out for a run. <br /> Alpha Cole Walker is the Alpha of the Blood Walker pack. He is said to be one of the most dangerous Alphas in the United States. It is said that he would hurt anyone who dared to enter his pack uninvited. Due to this fact, most of our pack members studiously avoid this area altogether.<br /> My twin sister, Reagan, is the golden child of the pack. They all love her unconditionally. She is cherished and appreciated, no matter what she does. They all seem to ignore the fact that she is a horrible and mean she-wolf. I was born first, and with that should come the respect that after I find my mate, I will officially be the Luna here, and he will take over as the Alpha of the pack. Yet they all treat her as the next Luna. <br /> My sister and I are the only children that our parents had. The Goddess never blessed them with another child, even though they tried for years. My father, Alpha Graham Sullivan, is very strict with me. I am not allowed to leave my room other than to eat my meals and then return back to my room again. I am also not allowed to leave our pack for any reason. I have never even crossed the border of the Sliver Blade pack in my life. <br /> I was the Alpha's daughter, but I was not a valued member of this pack. Telling on me has always resulted in a bonus for whoever told on me to my father. I have had to learn how to overcome this on my own. It has made me very independent over the years, as well as a very good climber. I use the tree outside my window at the pack house, to climb up and down to get in and out of my room.<br /> From my vantage point, I can see who is coming now and rolled my eyes so hard I almost saw my brain. It was Reagan, and she was pulling the arm of a pretty large guy, as she headed toward the grassy bank near my tree. I realized right this moment that I have picked a terrible place to hide. I should have doubled back and then climbed in my window to my room and I would have been safe and sound in my room. Reagan is clearly out with one of her many men, as she was allowed to stay out and do whatever she wanted to. I mean how else could she beat me to finding her mate if she didn't flirt with all the unmated men in our pack? I rolled my eyes again and then froze when I looked at them again and got a good look at his face.<br /> That smell coming off of him was starting to drive me wild, he smelled like freshly baked cinnamon buns, and I was now pissed off. She had come here with the guy that I had a crush on, someone with whom she had never shown any interest in before. It was our Beta's son and the guy that I have had a crush on for the last year and a half.<br /> "No, don't stop them, Raven, she has already been dating with him for the last few months. This is not the first time, it has been well before he returned to the pack earlier this week. They are together now, dating, and they have both vowed to reject their actual mates to stay together to take over and run this pack. Please, just try to bear it, I will help you get through it. I am glad that you are in a secure location, this may make you pass out" Emerald linked me, and I felt physically sick.<br /> "How do you know this? Did she know that he is my mate? Why can't I approach him? Maybe he wants me, Emerald. Please let me stop this. He might not know that I am his mate, he may still want me, want US! I don't want to lose him, Emerald. He may not be aware his true mate is here. Can't he already smell our scent up here, like I smelled his scent? Are you sure that this is the only way? Please Emerald" I linked her back, and I feel the tears that are already sliding down my face. I have questions, and I need answers.<br /> I am frustrated. I don't want to give up on my true mate. He doesn't even know that I am here, and I do want him. I don't want to give him up, especially not to my sister Reagan. I don't know if I can survive this level of betrayal.<br /> "I can't wait for mom and dad to announce to the pack that we will be the Alpha and Luna tomorrow. This is something that I have really wanted for the last 8 years. I am so glad you decided that we could be chosen mates. " My sister says to my mate.<br /> "Besides, I am also glad that you are willing to lead the Silver Blade pack with me. I have a feeling that my freak of a sister who keeps staring at you is going to be crushed when she finds out that we are together. You dodged by deciding to accept me as your chosen mate. I know that she has a crush on you, so she would probably try to ask you out or something when she sees that you are back from break." She adds.<br /> "I think we will be so happy together. Raven will be so angry when she finds out that we planned this months ago. I cannot wait for her to find out. I even told mom to have her sit on the front row for the pack meeting tomorrow, so I can see her face when dad makes the announcement. I am going to put her next to you so it will hurt her more when dad calls you up on stage. When she realizes that her crush is going to be my mate, she is going to be so jealous of me. I am so going to get a picture of her face when she finds out, as I will want to remember that moment for a long time" I heard Reagan say to him, and I was so choked up I couldn't hold in the sob of pain that managed to escape.<br /> It wasn't loud, but with werewolf hearing, it was loud enough. I just stayed completely still and prayed that they hadn't heard me, but Justin started talking when my sob escaped, and they had no reaction, so I think I am safe.<br /> "I have always thought that you were a she-wolf, Reagan. I am so glad that you came up to my training with your offer, and for us to get extra special time together. If Raven were allowed to move around the pack, I don't think that she would be missing the fact that she is my mate. I scented her today when I got back to the pack and confirmed she is my mate. Per our agreement, I don't mind rejecting her, as I am clearly getting the better sister out of this deal. I would have been embarrassed to have to call that freak of nature my mate" Justin said, and with it, my heart was completely crushed.<br /> These two evil people deserved each other, and I will not waste another tear on his betrayal. He "chose" her, so he can keep her. She will never be faithful to him, and he will not ever be able to trust that their children are his either. She was just doing this to ensure that they become the next Alpha and Luna. She is what he wanted, so she can have him. I am thoroughly disgusted by both of them, and I will not allow them to make me sad one more day. I had already decided to get out of this horrible pack, and I will not miss the Silver Blade pack for a second. <br /> "She is your mate? Are you serious? Oh, this is the best" Reagan said as she laughed out in joy at hearing this information. "Justin, why haven't you mentioned this to me before?" Reagan continued.<br /> "I just found out about it earlier today as I have been gone for my training for the last 4 months. I caught my mate's scent and followed it so I could go ahead and reject them. I realized it was coming from the Alpha level, and when I went up and it led me straight to her door, it was really faint, but I sensed it. She doesn't even know it yet. I am sure that this information is not going to go over well with your parents. They may be upset when they find out. Are they still going to want us to move forward with our plan? Or are they going to want me and Raven to be mates because we are true mates?" Justin asked Reagan. I have to admit, I was interested in her reply as well, but I already suspected what the answer was going to be.<br /> "Oh no Justin, you will definitely be staying with me. I know dad is really going to get a kick out of you and Raven being mates. Mom might feel a little bad for her, but I think that this is great. I could not be happier that her true mate, will become my chosen mate.<br /> We will rule the Silver Blade pack together, and it will hurt her every day to see us together. It is my pack any way, it was never going to be hers. Maybe if we are lucky since she doesn't have a wolf, she won't be able to scent you, and your rejection might even hurt her when you do it. That would be the best-case scenario for all of us" Reagan said, and I could tell that Justin was a little shocked at how hateful she was. Reagan could tell that Justin was not liking this side of her so she quickly changed her attitude and started cooing at Justin, "She doesn't deserve you, baby, I love you and I want you. Hopefully, you will come to love me too.<br /> I was just worried, I don't want you falling in love with my sister after we have already mated." Reagan said to Justin, looking up at him adoringly through her long lashes. I have to admit, she really knows how to work people to do what she wants them to. Her ability to look innocent and pure is without measure, she could have been an actress.<br /> "Dad hates Raven. He will be very happy about this. He has never loved her since the day that she was born. Mom might be a little upset, but she will get over it. She and dad are chosen mates, she gave up her true mate to become the Luna of the Silver Blade pack. She did it herself, and if it is good enough for her, then it is good enough for me to do it as well. We make the perfect couple. We will have strong pups, and our pack will flourish" Reagan said, and I am stunned. I knew my dad was mean, but to hate me, why? What reason could he possibly have for hating me? My parents have told the whole pack numerous times through the years that they were true mates. They are very affectionate with each other in front of the pack. I didn't even know that they weren't true mates. What else don't I know about them?<br /> "We will do the same thing. You will have to reject Raven first thing in the morning, or after the pack meeting. But you will have to do it where no one else will hear you. Dad is going to tell the pack that we are true mates, so they will fully support us. Dad thinks that it would be a mistake to not have the pack's full support behind us when we go to take it over from my parents" Reagan said, and I am amazed at all the plans that they have kept away from me. Just another thing that shows how much difference there is between Reagan and me. I hear them touching again and wonder when they plan on leaving the area, don't they need to get back to the pack house?<br /> I narrow my eyes at Reagan, as she is ecstatic about getting to truly rub all of my misfortune in right now. Justin is getting the opportunity to reject me, so the situation that we are now in is all positive for them.<br /> "Raven, why are you out of the house? Are you supposed to be out here? Are you OK? That fall looked like it hurt pretty bad" I hear my sister ask me with an innocent look on her face like she cared about me. She was fully aware of how I am kept a prisoner here at the Silver Blade pack. I really have to get out of here. I needed to check and see how badly I am hurt because I don't know if I even have time to go pack a bag now. I may be having to leave here with nothing, but I am OK with that. I just need to get the heck out of here. I will figure out what I need to do after I am safely free of Silver Blade.<br /> "Are you ignoring me, Raven? Are you sure you want to do that to me? Fine then, I will just make sure that you get punished for leaving your room. You are not supposed to be out here anyway. I will just let dad know that you are out here, and he will take care of you" Reagan said with a smirk, and then she started mind linking. <br /> I and my wolf were running away from this pack. But they caught us immediately.<br /> "If you come back here now Raven, I won't punish you for leaving your room without permission" I heard my father tell me. <br /> "Nothing in the world could possess me to do that father," I told him, and I see his eyes glazing over as he goes to link someone. I could care less what they have to say to me, and I turned to walk away. <br /> "You will get punishment in the Blood Walker pack. You know how dangerous they are Raven, you have heard this fact for your whole life. They cannot be trusted, and you are now a rogue. We have told you, and the whole pack, exactly what happens to those who trespass on their land. The moment they scent you they will move in, and you will die today. Is that what you want? Do you want to die? I will get you more freedom in the pack. I will allow you to go to the library every day instead of once a week. How does that sound?" my mother's voice is calming and comforting. She has never before sounded as nice as this, and I know that dad put her up to try to lure me back into the Siler Blade pack. They must be desperate to do it, so I want to see how far they intended to go with it.<br /> "Let me ask you this mother. Was the plan to get Justin to take Reagan as a chosen mate her idea, or dad's?" I asked her. Mom is not a very good liar. I can see her expression as we are only about 20 feet apart from each other right now. <br /> "I don't know what you are talking about Raven, they are mates," my mom said to me, and now I smirk at her. Clearly, mom was keeping me out of the loop and doesn't know that I know for a fact that they aren't.<br /> "Thanks for always lying to me mom. That makes it so much easier on me. I will not be coming back to the Silver Blade pack. This is the last time, Goddess willing, that you all will probably see me and actually I am welcoming the death that is coming to me. It will be better than the life I have lived since Reagan tried to hurt me, and my own dad called me a liar when I told him what actually happened. Justin is not her mate mom, and I know this because he is MY mate. It is disgusting what all you three have done to me and allowed to be done to me my whole life. I never deserved to be treated the way I was. I can only hope that I can find my way and get to live a life that allows me to find someone who loves me and realizes that I am a good person. I don't think that is too much to ask for, do you mom? It seems like you and dad are willing to do anything to get me to come back over the fence, but we both know that if I did come back, I would either immediately be thrown in the cells. So, I will take my chances over here, where at least I have a chance" I told them and turned again to leave. I only made it a few steps before I was stopped again by my father's hateful words.<br /> "You are ungrateful daughter, How do you have the nerve to say that to me? I have clothed and fed you, provided you a room, and let you go to school. I did take care of you, and it is disgusting to see how you repay me. Lying about Justin being your mate. Trying to take your sister's mate away from her. I know that I can speak for your mother as well as myself when I say that we hope the Blood Walker pack disposes of you quickly. I only wish I could punish you myself" my dad roared out, and the hate was coming off of him in waves.<br /> "You disgust me father," I told him and the tone I used to draw out the word father let him know just how little I thought of him being my father. "I have never done anything to cause a problem or disruption in the pack, or in the family. I did what I was told this whole time. Even as knowing that you let the whole pack know that I was fair game if they wanted to hurt me, and they did dad, over and over again. You know what, it was my family that really took the award for the most torment. Your unwarranted hate, mom never supporting me, and my sister allowed to try to hurt me, and incite others up against me made me realize that life will be much better on this side of the border than it was on that side. Even if I only live an hour more, it would be better than the years I spent over there."<br /> I wiped off my tears and walked past them, suddenly, I hear something coming to meโฆ<br /> <br /> <br /> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><br /> Wanna listen more? download our App and check more!

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! | What2628-eng | 79 | https://facebook.com/100093514056404 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

I can hear the demand in his voice, he's practically begging for me to submit, but I won't.<br /> I walk back, making him think he's getting his way. A coy grin tugs at the corners of his mouth, but I stop in front of him, leaning back against the other side of the bar. With a slow ease I cross my arms in front of me, expecting his gaze to dip to my chest that's now more pushed out in my tank, or even down to my legs in my short skirt, but his eyes remain locked on mine.<br /> "I've got a name," I say evenly. "Learn to use it and you'll get your drink."<br /> His eyes flash. "Nah, I like doll better."<br /> I shrug one shoulder, biting my bottom lip. "Then I guess you'll be thirsty."<br /> โ<br /> It was after ten on Friday night, The Bar was popping. By the capacity of people I was inclined to believe that every single person in Kettle's Bell was here tonight. Between the music and the people my ears were filled with a hum of activity. The place was alive. It was going to be a good night. Jeb was off on vacation with the newest Mrs, and TJ was in charge tonight. There was just something about working a place like this for a woman that was so much more satisfying than when you do it for a man. It was more empowering and less sleazy.<br /> At least a little.<br /> I was on a high, fixing drinks faster than I ever had, getting bigger tips that I'd gotten in all of my shifts so far, and my song was on.<br /> I was in an untouchable zone.<br /> An hour earlier I'd heard the terror bringing whisper of "They're here." Being passed around the bar area. I didn't have to ask who to know. I'd wondered how many days I'd have to work before I finally got to see the ones all the stories are about. According to TJ, they came often, so I was admittedly a little curious at least when I got news they'd finally decided to show.<br /> Keeping cool, still pretending to be focused on the washed up jock sitting in front of me at the bar I'd scanned heads. No one new yet. I'd been really ready to chalk it all up to small town gossip when finally I saw them.<br /> It wasn't hard to know it had to be them, the way the crowd split open for them like they were Gods. Six men brushed in the front door, all looking like they could break any person in this bar in two if they so pleased. Freakishly tall, unnervingly built, and covered in tattoos, they definitely made an entrance. They'd broken off just inside the door, two heading over to the stairs, three moving to find a spot (not that it was hard since the full booth of people jumped out of their seats and practically ran away as they got near) by the center stage where Candy Crush was up on the pole.<br /> The last one came over to the bar, sitting just three stools down from jocky.<br /> "Bourbon." He said, folding both of his hands on the bar top. He was handsome, not so much in the conventional way. His face was long and his beard was shaved up close to his jaw, very well-manicured. His hands were tattooed to look like skeletons and he smiled wickedly when he caught me looking. "You like?" He'd asked and I had shrugged casually as I poured his drink.<br /> "Pretty cool ink." I slid his drink to him with a smile.<br /> He took a long swig of the glass and then leaned forward on his elbows. "You got any ink, new girl?"<br /> "Actually, it's Alyssa, but no." I reached under the bar for a sip of my water, but he continued to stare.<br /> "How'd you end up here?" He asked after a minute, the question sounding strangely like an accusation, but I kept up the smile, popping the tops off of two beverages for the girls down the bar.<br /> "Bad luck I guess." I winked and he pulled out a toothpick and stuck it in the side of his mouth, letting it dangle between his teeth.<br /> "I'd say." He'd said, then like a harmless puppy, he'd taken his drink to join the others, Becca chasing him down on his way. She called him Toby and was asking him where Daimon was at. I gathered from his clipped answer and her sad expression that tonight wouldn't be the night I got to meet this baddy bad leader of theirs.<br /> Their coolness had long since worn off since they'd been here. No one was getting beat up, I didn't see any deals going down, and they were spending money left and right. I really didn't see the issue with these guys honestly. The one from earlier, Toby, had even gone and requested a song. To his credit, it was a bomb song.<br /> He'd gone back over to the stage area, which was only a bit odd since he wouldn't even be able to hear it from there where the dancers had their own music, but I loved it, so I didn't question it a bit.<br /> It was getting closer and closer to midnight, the time it would really start to get crazy in here, and I enjoyed my moment of down time. I let my hips move to the music, closing my eyes as I swayed behind the bar, blocking out everything else.<br /> "Who are you?" A deep gravelly voice broke through my concentration near the end of the song. I opened my eyes and nearly needed to pinch myself under the bar. With one look I knew exactly who this must be.<br /> There was no question in my mind, this was Daimon Kross.<br /> I wanted to react to him, but I didn't let myself.<br /> I did on the inside though.<br /> Holy freaking baby Jesus mother Mary and the whole gang, this guy was...there wasn't a word. I didn't know men that looked like this existed outside of a Hollywood made film. First of all, like the others, he was huge. Shoulders so broad I'm sure he could easily drape me over them, not that I'm picturing that, and he had to be at least 6'4. I'm not short by any means, actually a little tall for a girl, but jes-us was he up there. His black t-shirt probably deserved a metal the way it was working its little heart out keeping his thick muscles contained, and I was more than a little curious about the lines of tattoos I could see running out of the neck out his shirt and his sleeves.<br /> As if his body wasn't distracting enough though, his face was everything a face should be. A thick jaw with just enough scruff, dimpled chin, cut cheek bones, long sharp nose with a pale white scar across the top, and those eyes...deep set amber colored eyes fringed with jet black lashes and over shadowed by the thick lines of his black eye brows. He looked dangerous, he gave off a whole sense of danger, and somehow, my body wanted to drive right past all of the caution signs and collide with him anyway.<br /> Luckily, I'm the one in control, not my body.<br /> With a very well-practiced level of disinterest, I look away, looking to my nails on my right hand, the glossy black paint is fine, but I pretend to look for an imperfection.<br /> "I'm Alyssa," I tell him, turning back to look him right in the eyes. "Who are you?"<br /> I already, know, I just ask to piss him off. The way his eyes narrow tell me it worked.<br /> "Kross," He says with an air of authority. "Daimon Kross."<br /> I laugh at his seriousness, probably a bad idea, but you can tell the guy thinks a lot of himself. "Bond, James Bond." I mimic in a deep voice, turning my back to him while I throw away a couple empty bottles.<br /> When I look back he's leaned forward, elbows on the bar, hands gripping my side of it.<br /> My god, he has nice hands.<br /> His eyes narrow in on mine. "Careful." He whispers. I know his type. The kind that thinks he owns anyone he decides he wants to own. But I can't be owned. Not anymore. I turn to walk away, but his booming voice stops me. "I want a beverage."<br /> "I'll go get Becca for you." I look at him over my shoulder.<br /> His whole body tenses. "I didn't ask for Becca." He grinds out. "I asked you."<br /> I just smile. "She'll be right down." I turn again, taking a few steps away, catching my breath while he can't see me.<br /> "Hey, come back here and make me a drink, doll." I can hear the demand in his voice, he's practically begging for me to submit, but I won't.<br /> I walk back, making him think he's getting his way. A coy grin tugs at the corners of his mouth, but I stop in front of him, leaning back against the other side of the bar. With a slow ease I cross my arms in front of me, expecting his gaze to dip to my chest that's now more pushed out in my tank, or even down to my legs in my short skirt, but his eyes remain locked on mine.<br /> "I've got a name," I say evenly. "Learn to use it and you'll get your drink."<br /> His eyes flash. "Nah, I like doll better."<br /> I shrug one shoulder, biting my bottom lip. "Then I guess you'll be thirsty."<br /> He tightens his shoulders and the muscle in his jaw pops. "I guess you won't be getting any of my money."<br /> I smile easily, crossing my ankles. "What a pity, I guess I'll just have to settle for money from all of these other people in this super busy bar." I tell him, knocking him back down a peg. He thinks he's the only man alive, I can show him he isn't.<br /> I'm only slightly concerned when he leans back, flashing his teeth at me in a vicious smile. "That so?"<br /> I flash a full smile of my own, watching him watch me. "Goodnight, Mr. Kross."<br /> Before I can think about walking away he slides his stool back with a loud scrape and he's standing, turning away. "Boys! Hey, everyone shut up!" Everything stops. Literally. Even the freaking music. "Listen up, under no circumstances will anyone here order from, talk to, or tip Doll Face here." I glance around, shocked to see that way more bikers have gotten here in the past hours. They're practically crawling all over the place. Daimon turns to me with a dark smile and lowers back onto the stool. "Looks like you aren't making a dime until you make me my drink, doll."<br /> He's so smug, sure he's won. He has no idea how wrong he is. Had the old Alyssa been here, she'd have scrambled to do what he wants, but she died long ago. I work on burying her deeper everything single day and I'm not about to let Daimon Kross dig her up again.<br /> "Is that what you see?" I walk towards the bar, leaning forward, less than a foot from his face. I want him to look at my body, that would make this easier, but I can see him fighting it. He keeps his gaze locked onto mine. It's intense and I don't know why I'm still fighting this instead of just giving the man his beverage, but I just won't back down. That's not the Alyssa I am anymore. I can never be her again. Knowing I'm playing with fire I say, "Because I see a very full bar of men who are going to be very thirsty in a little while, and a waitress who's night just got way easier. Since no one will need me now, I'll just be over there with my feet up."<br /> You're no one if you can't walk the walk after you talk the talk, so without over thinking it, I walk out from behind the bar, my heels clicking as I cross to the closest booth in the corner. I sit down, pushing back so that I can prop my legs up in the booth in front of me.<br /> It's ballsy, but worth it.<br /> I certainly don't expect him to follow me, but he does. Right to the booth. I should have thought about my positioning before now, but it's too late. He stands at the front of the booth, towering over me where I sit. In the corner like this, he could murder me with one hand and no one would even know it happened.<br /> "Just who do you think you are?" He snaps, his hands at his sides clenching like his jaw.<br /> I lean forward, drawing my knees up just a little. Not enough to flash him my undies, but enough to make him think I might. "Alyssa," I look up at him under my lashes. "Not doll."<br /> He lifts one hand and rubs his jaw, his annoyance rolling off of him. "Get up and do your job." He bites out. It's a direct order, I can feel the urge in me to do as he says, but I hold that down. I fight it with every bit of fight I've got left.<br /> I blink up at him once. "What's my name?" I say tauntingly.<br /> He leans down so fast I don't know how I don't jump, and he grips the edge of the table, making it creek. "Doll. There are other waitresses here."<br /> "Smart boy," I nod, looking past him. "There goes one now."<br /> Becca emerges from the stairs, scanning in a frenzy to find him. When she sees him she smiles sweetly, lowering her head just a little before waving once. He looks away from her and back to me, his eyes finally trailing over me like I've wanted from the beginning. It's calculated though, an appraisal he is choosing to show no interest in.<br /> "This isn't over." He snaps.<br /> I stretch my legs back out, crossing my ankles again. "Looks over to me."<br /> I feel the table shake in his grip, behind his face I can tell he's holding back. "You're really asking for it aren't you?" He whispers menacingly, leaning down closer to me. "Do you have any idea who I am?"<br /> I don't know where I get the nerve, or maybe it isn't nerve at all, maybe I just want to do it, but I reach out, lightly touching his hand with mine. It's a quick pat, condescending even, before I pull back. I can already tell he's pissed and I haven't even said anything yet. You don't initiate contact with guys like him. It takes their power away. They don't like that. But I don't care anymore.<br /> "I hate to break your heart," I whisper, sweet as pie. "But I stopped being afraid of the big bad wolf a long long time ago." He jerks upright at my words, glowering down at me as if I'd slapped him before he controls his expression. "You'll have to do much better than all that if you expect to scare me."<br /> "I'm sure I can." He seethes, backing away. "You'll regret this." He says.<br /> I just shrug, watching him go. "I'll add it to the list."<br /> I barely get a five minute reprieve from the overpowering presence of the Daimon Kross before TJ is rushing towards me, the look of horror all over her face. "Alyssa, what did I tell you?" She asks, exasperated. "Are you actually insane?"<br /> "No ma'am, I just don't like being treated like a thing instead of a person." I tell her and she sighs loudly.<br /> "That's all very commendable and all, Alyssa, but you're working in a club right now." She looks down her nose at me and then shakes her head. "Actually, you aren't even working."<br /> "He told-." I try to say but she cuts me off.<br /> "Get on stage." She points to the one in the middle that Ren is exiting. "If you can't be useful as a bartender tonight, you're going to have to do something."<br /> I nod once. "You got it boss."<br /> I take the stairs quickly, brushing into the dressing room and changing into a stage outfit. I pick a frilly pink thing, going for that innocent angel thing that drives men wild, pairing it with some far from innocent undergarments to strip down to. I know the drill.<br /> The beat from the bass blurs everything as I take the stage.<br /> I wrap one hand around the pole, letting the music sink into my bones as I make a slow circle around it once.<br /> I can feel him before I see him.<br /> I open my eyes, looking up to the balcony on my left and there he is, all alone. His eyes on me, a smile on his face. I want to hit that smile right into next week. He thinks he's won. I'd bet money he was the one who made TJ put me on stage. He thinks he can degrade me by forcing me onto the stage tonight, but again, the joke is on him.<br /> I'm way past letting something like this get to me.<br /> I let it fuel me, my movements becoming sultrier.<br /> I don't look away. Not the entire time. I stare directly into his eyes, watching the smile slowly fade from his face. I'm not letting him win, not even as I'm stripped down in front of all of these people.<br /> I don't care, and it is driving him absolutely mad. | Red113 | 16 | https://facebook.com/61554938783328 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

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." | ForFun-120 | 72 | https://facebook.com/61554751622817 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

My chin begins to wobble as tears form in my eyes.<br /> I shouldn't be crying, but I know that he won't accept me. I'm ruined ... I'm marked, claimed to be someone elses ...<br /> "Why are you crying?" he inches closer and only stops when he's in front of me. I want to fall into his arms, to beg him not to reject me, to save me, but how can I when I'm claimed ...<br /> "You're going to reject me." my eyes squeeze shut as I suck my lips into my mouth.<br /> "You might be marked, but I can fix that."<br /> "How?" I stare up at him with teary eyes, "We remove it." he shrugs, his eyes filled with lust.<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> JESSICA'S POV<br /> Nick and I have been married for three years, we are high school sweethearts and married when we were twenty when neither of us found our mates. These days, fated mates are rare and hard to come by ... we both agreed I'd be a good Luna to the pack since I trained with him, I learned to be a luna from his mother and we have been inseparable since we were in diapers.<br /> He's my best friend and my true love.<br /> We made a promise to never leave, to never break the bond, to never reject one another when we found our real mates, which is likely to never happen.<br /> We are attending a ball tonight, but my insides are twisted, as if the Moon Goddess herself wants to shield me from whatever is going to happen, I tried to talk Nick into staying at home, but as stubborn like all alpha's are, he refused and said that we would get a bad name if we didn't attend.<br /> Sitting in the car while our driver takes us to a nearby pack, a strong and mighty one.<br /> I know it's our duty to attend, but holding his hand in the back seat, something is terribly wrong.<br /> We arrive and there are a line of cars outside, one by one driving by , guests getting out, wearing gowns and suits.<br /> It's our turn and Nick opens the door, holding his hand out to me and I happily take it as we get out, photos are taken and a red carpet is rolled out as if we were famous.<br /> Nick looks handsome with his dark blonde hair gelled back, his chiseled jaw tense, and the edges of his lips curled up into a small smile.<br /> We arrive inside and we're led to the ballroom, servants with trays walking with snack food and drinks pace all over while the guests stand and chat.<br /> I notice the alpha of The Deep Mountain pack greeting people, making rounds to greet and speak, there's a stage in the middle against the wall, a bar to the side and a dance floor in the middle where couples are dancing elegantly.<br /> I smile at my surroundings and freeze when I look at Nick, staring at a beautiful dark haired girl .<br /> "Nick." I tug at his hand, but it's like he's under a spell, frozen in time as the girl stares back at him.<br /> "Nick." I tug harder, his shoulder shrugging back, "Huh?" he turns to me with a frown, his fingers letting go of my hand and I feel cold.<br /> "I'm going to grab a drink." he smiles at me before walking off towards the bar, closer to the strange woman.<br /> I was an omega and the room is filled with power, I could even feel hers because she is of a higher rank.<br /> I gulp as I watch him walk to the bar, his eyes locked on hers and she elegantly turns in her navy blue dress, walking towards him with dark lustful eyes.<br /> I can't be ... but it is ... it's his mate ..<br /> I stand frozen and a shoulder bumps into me, making my head turn at the woman glaring and snarling, "Watch where you are going!" she scolds and I apologize before walking over to the bar, joining my mate's side while he absentmindedly stares at the woman next to him.<br /> I clear my throat, but there's no response from him.<br /> He doesn't even notice me ..<br /> "Nick." I smile , hope filling my heart as he glances at me, fear flashing through his perfect green orbs as he steps back and then looks at her again.<br /> "Jess, this is Tiffany ... my mate." he smiles awkwardly at me but when he looks at her, it's a genuine smile ...<br /> "Nick." I frown in concern and he takes my hand, giving it a tight squeeze, "Don't worry, I know what to do." he smiles, "Shall we talk outside?" the gloominess in his eyes makes me relax only for a minute until she holds out her hand, smiling gracefully with her full lips and pretty blue eyes.<br /> My heart sinks when her hand hooks into his arm and they head to the balcony. alone ...<br /> I should go with ... but it is a private matter.<br /> 'He's ours...' Zola, my wolf, whimpers.<br /> I stand at the bar, staring carelessly at my mate walking off with his true mate and I inch closer, frowning as every nerve in my body is burning to follow them.<br /> I glance around and there are so many people that they don't even notice until the Luna of the Deep Mountain pack steps closer, "Jessica, is it? From the West Pack?" I nod, trying not to be rude when I look at the balcony and not at her while she speaks to me.<br /> "Oh honey, it's done." she shakes her head and I frown, cocking my head at her in confusion.<br /> "What do you mean?" My eyes stare into her honey ones.<br /> "He found his mate, I'm sorry but it's fated and you are now the other woman." she sighs, glancing at the balcony doors.<br /> I stare at her, my heart racing a million miles an hour and I excuse myself.<br /> I step out of the house, moving around the arriving couples when I feel my heart squeeze, pain taking over and I know what it meant ... Disgust fills me and I start to run, glancing over my shoulder no one notices and I shift, my beautiful pastel pink dress ripping to shreds as I run into the woods.<br /> The pain had stopped, but I did not return home until after midnight, finding Nick sitting on the couch, watching tv.<br /> "Jessica, where have you been?" he stands as I slam the door shut, standing undressed in front of him.<br /> I cross my arms over my chest, glaring at him. "Excuse me?" I shake my head at him, "Where have I been? What have you been doing!" I growl, making his eyes widen in shame and his gaze flicks to the floor when he scratches his nape.<br /> "That's what I thought, you couldn't even resist ten minutes before sleeping her, could you?" I see the pure rage filling me.<br /> "I didn't, I swear..." he promises, but I don't believe him.<br /> Scoffing, I strut past the couch to our room, "Can we talk?" he yells and I turn , "Did you reject her?" I frown and he falls silent, raking a hand through his hair.<br /> "Then no, we can't ." I turn and walk to our room.<br /> He follows me, closing the door behind us, "Jess, I love you. I promise I will reject her, I just ... I couldn't, it's much more difficult than you think." he frowns, explaining himself.<br /> "And will you go and do it?" I grab clothes from the closet, "I will, just ... I need time." he begs and I snort, "Can I come when you do it?" the silence says it all, he doesn't want me there ...<br /> "You're saying you'll do it, but you won't, because you are weak." I tut, shaking my head.<br /> "I will, I just need to distance myself, to keep myself away and then I'll do it when I have the strength to." he explains, his eyes pleading for forgiveness.<br /> I hum, ignoring him as I strut past him toward the bathroom and he reaches for me, grabbing my wrist and I snarl at him, making him let me go instantly, "Don't touch me after sleeping someone else." I grit out, backing up into the bathroom and I slam the door shut, the heavy thud shaking the windows and I lock the door.<br /> I take a hot shower, the water pouring down on me as my back slides down the tiled wall, tears streaming down my face as I weep.<br /> I hear the door handle jiggle and I wipe the fog from the glass door, staring at the handle go up and down as he tries to enter.<br /> I feel a tug at the mind link, but I shut him out.<br /> He disgusts me, he promised, both of us promised one another that we would immediately reject our mates before the bond grew and he is letting it grow, making it ten times more difficult to reject them.<br /> I can't believe I trusted him ... I expose his mark in the crook of my neck, I hold our love dear in my heart and he just let it all go down the drain, letting it sink into the sewers.<br /> I am nothing under his shoe and here I am, still loving him with every breath I take.<br /> After sitting more than an hour under the steaming water, it turns cold and I sit for another half an hour before standing and I shut the water off, taking my time to get dressed and when I stride out in silk booty shorts and a thin strap silk top, I notice how Nick lays in bed, his thumbs circling one another as he stares at the ceiling.<br /> He doesn't even notice me and I am sure he's thinking about her.<br /> The one who stole his heart within a second, the one who is going to steal my life, my bed, my position and my mate.<br /> We are real mates, we accepted one another, we marked each other, we might not be fated, but we are real or we were before her.<br /> ==<br /> My heart starts racing as we head further up the stairs, my pulse is beating in my ears and the musky scent is intensifying. When we reach the top, there's an entire living room in the middle and then two halls, but the scent up here is stronger ... "What's that smell?" I ask Louis without hesitation. He turns to me, his arched brows furrowing together, "The sweaty smell? Must be Nate, my alpha, but please, call him Alpha Nathaniel, he doesn't like strangers calling him Nate, or anyone else. As his best friend, I have perks." he winks at me, his smile so genuine and he seems like a totally different guy in his own pack than what he was at the party.<br /> I wet my lips and it still stings, it's taking forever to heal but I could feel it start from the inside.<br /> "Louis! Have you seen my phone?" Nate's voice comes from the opposite hall. "No, I've been out doing your job!" Louis yells back and the power lingering in the air is suffocating me. I'm stiff and upset about the stupid dress I thought would impress Nick.<br /> "Come.." Louis tugs me down the other hall, away from Alpha Nathaniel and once I enter his room, I'm shook. Everything is so white except for a few decorations. "Wow." I breathe out, his room is bigger than Nick and I's.<br /> He marches over to his closet and grabs a shirt, tossing it at me, "The bathroom is over there." he nods behind me and I turn, smiling before looking over my shoulder at him, "I'll be right back." he struts over to the door and I head inside the bathroom, the white marble walls knock the air right out of my lungs and I stand for two minutes and just look at everything.<br /> The bathtub looks huge, almost like a hot tub, the shower has benches built in and is large with great shower head equipment, the sink is built into a large white counter with beautiful engraved cupboards below it.<br /> I quickly undress and put Louis' white shirt on that fits me like a dress. I drape my dress over my arm and pick up my heels before exiting the bathroom, standing awkwardly looking at the bed ... wondering if he'll come back to peck me ...<br /> I know I shouldn't think of it, but I've been feeling so alone ... It doesn't matter if Nick slept next to me last night, his mind wasn't with me ... he didn't want me in his bed ... he wanted her.<br /> He didn't even come near me when all I wanted was for him to hold me, to tell me I'm still important too ... but he didn't. When he climbed into bed, he turned his back to me and fell asleep, but it seemed forced, like he didn't want to see me at all.<br /> The door opens and Louis stands there, his eyes trailing me standing in his shirt. "You are tiny, aren't you?" he comes inside, holding out his hand and I take it, "Let's get that dress fixed." he grins and leads me down the hall again.<br /> Before taking the first step, a clearing of a throat makes us stop, "Louis, who's this?" Alpha Nathaniel's voice makes a shiver run down my spine and Louis turns first, "Jessica." he smiles and before he could explain anything, I turn, freezing when our eyes lock.<br /> My lips part as I stare into Alpha Nathaniel's beautiful olive orbs, his entire body language changes, his laid back look now tense.<br /> "Mate." he growls lowly and I gasp, fear and excitement mixing inside of me. My stomach flutters and Louis let's go of me, stepping aside, "Nate, I didn't know." he moves away from me and Alpha Nathaniel's eyes lock on my busted lip, his eyes flicking a bright silver as he looks at Louis, "What happened to her lip?" he grits out, anger clear in his tone.<br /> "Her..." , "Wait!" I blurt out, looking at Louis with pleading eyes and Alpha Nathaniel's head snaps to my direction, curiosity visible in his gaze, "Why wait?" Alpha Nathaniel asks, his tone calm when speaking to me.<br /> "I just ... I think I should tell you." I pick at my nails nervously, hoping that he wouldn't reject me.<br /> Louis walks over to me, "Give me the dress, I'll get it cleaned." he smiles and Alpha Nathaniel gives him a weird look as I hand it over.<br /> "Excuse me." Louis mutters before trotting down the stairs, leaving me alone with Alpha Nathaniel.<br /> "So, what happened?" he asks, his muscles tensing. I want to inch closer, every fibre of my being wants to be near him ... but his gaze falls to my neck, looking at the mark embroidered into my flesh.<br /> "My mate his Louis for dancing with me and he accidentally hit me too ... I was in the way." his eyes flash bright, anger written all over his face, "Accidentally?" he frowns, dragging his large veiny hand through his black hair. "Yes, I believe so." I gulp, his aura makes me feel like running away.<br /> "And you have a mate..." his eyes narrow on my mark and I feel the need to just claw it off.<br /> "My mate found his mate and now I'm just ... the luna of our pack." My chin begins to wobble as tears form in my eyes.<br /> I shouldn't be crying, but I know that he won't accept me. I'm ruined ... I'm marked, claimed to be someone elses ...<br /> "Why are you crying?" he inches closer and only stops when he's in front of me. I want to fall into his arms, to beg him not to reject me, to save me, but how can I when I'm claimed ...<br /> "You're going to reject me." my eyes squeeze shut as I suck my lips into my mouth. I flinch as his fingers brush over my cheek, wiping the tears away and sparks erupt in my face, sending a calm sensation down my back.<br /> "You might be marked, but I can fix that." his hand brushes my raven hair back over my shoulder, his thumb dragging over my mark and it slightly stings because he isn't the man who gave it to me ...<br /> "How?" I stare up at him with teary eyes, "We remove it." he shrugs, his eyes filled with lust.<br /> I step back, "How?"<br /> I never heard of a mark being removed ... and if someone did, they sure didn't survive to tell the tale.<br /> "It's a rare ritual, but you seem tough enough." he shrugs, making my blood run cold ... I'm not tough ... I was an omega before being a luna ...<br /> "I was an omega before being a luna." I blurt out, feeling like it's a fact he has to know.<br /> "But you are a luna, it changes your status. Didn't you feel yourself change?" his fingers drag down the side of my arm before he takes my hand and I feel like I might just jump him right here.<br /> "Let's get you out of Louis's shirt ... I know he's kind but you smelling like him pisses me off." his eyes widen, his jaw tense and I follow him without hesitation.<br /> Walking into his room is like walking into a fancy black interior design room, the walls are black, his bedding his black, his cupboards are black ... everything is black with beautiful gold detailing.<br /> "Wow." I breathe out as I absentmindedly march over to the double doors and just open them without asking. I step outside onto the patio, staring at the dark forest that surrounds us. We're far from the ground and I turn, looking at the dark exterior.<br /> Alpha Nathaniel joins me outside with a black t-shirt, not that I expected anything else, "Here, this will suit you much better." he grins, handing me the black shirt. "Where's your bathroom?" he frowns at my question, "Inside." he nods to behind him and I smile up at him, his emerald eyes glistening as he watches me pass him.<br /> I could feel his eyes on me as I disappear into the bathroom and it's even bigger than Louis' ...<br /> I find it extremely weird that the guy who brought me home is my mate's beta ... for Goddess sake ... I thought of pecking him!<br /> I take a few minutes to glance around the bathroom, staring at myself in the full length bathroom mirror across from me.<br /> My lip is almost fully healed at least ...<br /> Nick ... oh Goddess, what do I tell Nick? | Fics101 | 135 | https://facebook.com/61554382746013 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

I can hear the demand in his voice, he's practically begging for me to submit, but I won't.<br /> I walk back, making him think he's getting his way. A coy grin tugs at the corners of his mouth, but I stop in front of him, leaning back against the other side of the bar. With a slow ease I cross my arms in front of me, expecting his gaze to dip to my chest that's now more pushed out in my tank, or even down to my legs in my short skirt, but his eyes remain locked on mine.<br /> "I've got a name," I say evenly. "Learn to use it and you'll get your drink."<br /> His eyes flash. "Nah, I like doll better."<br /> I shrug one shoulder, biting my bottom lip. "Then I guess you'll be thirsty."<br /> โ<br /> It was after ten on Friday night, The Bar was popping. By the capacity of people I was inclined to believe that every single person in Kettle's Bell was here tonight. Between the music and the people my ears were filled with a hum of activity. The place was alive. It was going to be a good night. Jeb was off on vacation with the newest Mrs, and TJ was in charge tonight. There was just something about working a place like this for a woman that was so much more satisfying than when you do it for a man. It was more empowering and less sleazy.<br /> At least a little.<br /> I was on a high, fixing drinks faster than I ever had, getting bigger tips that I'd gotten in all of my shifts so far, and my song was on.<br /> I was in an untouchable zone.<br /> An hour earlier I'd heard the terror bringing whisper of "They're here." Being passed around the bar area. I didn't have to ask who to know. I'd wondered how many days I'd have to work before I finally got to see the ones all the stories are about. According to TJ, they came often, so I was admittedly a little curious at least when I got news they'd finally decided to show.<br /> Keeping cool, still pretending to be focused on the washed up jock sitting in front of me at the bar I'd scanned heads. No one new yet. I'd been really ready to chalk it all up to small town gossip when finally I saw them.<br /> It wasn't hard to know it had to be them, the way the crowd split open for them like they were Gods. Six men brushed in the front door, all looking like they could break any person in this bar in two if they so pleased. Freakishly tall, unnervingly built, and covered in tattoos, they definitely made an entrance. They'd broken off just inside the door, two heading over to the stairs, three moving to find a spot (not that it was hard since the full booth of people jumped out of their seats and practically ran away as they got near) by the center stage where Candy Crush was up on the pole.<br /> The last one came over to the bar, sitting just three stools down from jocky.<br /> "Bourbon." He said, folding both of his hands on the bar top. He was handsome, not so much in the conventional way. His face was long and his beard was shaved up close to his jaw, very well-manicured. His hands were tattooed to look like skeletons and he smiled wickedly when he caught me looking. "You like?" He'd asked and I had shrugged casually as I poured his drink.<br /> "Pretty cool ink." I slid his drink to him with a smile.<br /> He took a long swig of the glass and then leaned forward on his elbows. "You got any ink, new girl?"<br /> "Actually, it's Alyssa, but no." I reached under the bar for a sip of my water, but he continued to stare.<br /> "How'd you end up here?" He asked after a minute, the question sounding strangely like an accusation, but I kept up the smile, popping the tops off of two beverages for the girls down the bar.<br /> "Bad luck I guess." I winked and he pulled out a toothpick and stuck it in the side of his mouth, letting it dangle between his teeth.<br /> "I'd say." He'd said, then like a harmless puppy, he'd taken his drink to join the others, Becca chasing him down on his way. She called him Toby and was asking him where Daimon was at. I gathered from his clipped answer and her sad expression that tonight wouldn't be the night I got to meet this baddy bad leader of theirs.<br /> Their coolness had long since worn off since they'd been here. No one was getting beat up, I didn't see any deals going down, and they were spending money left and right. I really didn't see the issue with these guys honestly. The one from earlier, Toby, had even gone and requested a song. To his credit, it was a bomb song.<br /> He'd gone back over to the stage area, which was only a bit odd since he wouldn't even be able to hear it from there where the dancers had their own music, but I loved it, so I didn't question it a bit.<br /> It was getting closer and closer to midnight, the time it would really start to get crazy in here, and I enjoyed my moment of down time. I let my hips move to the music, closing my eyes as I swayed behind the bar, blocking out everything else.<br /> "Who are you?" A deep gravelly voice broke through my concentration near the end of the song. I opened my eyes and nearly needed to pinch myself under the bar. With one look I knew exactly who this must be.<br /> There was no question in my mind, this was Daimon Kross.<br /> I wanted to react to him, but I didn't let myself.<br /> I did on the inside though.<br /> Holy freaking baby Jesus mother Mary and the whole gang, this guy was...there wasn't a word. I didn't know men that looked like this existed outside of a Hollywood made film. First of all, like the others, he was huge. Shoulders so broad I'm sure he could easily drape me over them, not that I'm picturing that, and he had to be at least 6'4. I'm not short by any means, actually a little tall for a girl, but jes-us was he up there. His black t-shirt probably deserved a metal the way it was working its little heart out keeping his thick muscles contained, and I was more than a little curious about the lines of tattoos I could see running out of the neck out his shirt and his sleeves.<br /> As if his body wasn't distracting enough though, his face was everything a face should be. A thick jaw with just enough scruff, dimpled chin, cut cheek bones, long sharp nose with a pale white scar across the top, and those eyes...deep set amber colored eyes fringed with jet black lashes and over shadowed by the thick lines of his black eye brows. He looked dangerous, he gave off a whole sense of danger, and somehow, my body wanted to drive right past all of the caution signs and collide with him anyway.<br /> Luckily, I'm the one in control, not my body.<br /> With a very well-practiced level of disinterest, I look away, looking to my nails on my right hand, the glossy black paint is fine, but I pretend to look for an imperfection.<br /> "I'm Alyssa," I tell him, turning back to look him right in the eyes. "Who are you?"<br /> I already, know, I just ask to piss him off. The way his eyes narrow tell me it worked.<br /> "Kross," He says with an air of authority. "Daimon Kross."<br /> I laugh at his seriousness, probably a bad idea, but you can tell the guy thinks a lot of himself. "Bond, James Bond." I mimic in a deep voice, turning my back to him while I throw away a couple empty bottles.<br /> When I look back he's leaned forward, elbows on the bar, hands gripping my side of it.<br /> My god, he has nice hands.<br /> His eyes narrow in on mine. "Careful." He whispers. I know his type. The kind that thinks he owns anyone he decides he wants to own. But I can't be owned. Not anymore. I turn to walk away, but his booming voice stops me. "I want a beverage."<br /> "I'll go get Becca for you." I look at him over my shoulder.<br /> His whole body tenses. "I didn't ask for Becca." He grinds out. "I asked you."<br /> I just smile. "She'll be right down." I turn again, taking a few steps away, catching my breath while he can't see me.<br /> "Hey, come back here and make me a drink, doll." I can hear the demand in his voice, he's practically begging for me to submit, but I won't.<br /> I walk back, making him think he's getting his way. A coy grin tugs at the corners of his mouth, but I stop in front of him, leaning back against the other side of the bar. With a slow ease I cross my arms in front of me, expecting his gaze to dip to my chest that's now more pushed out in my tank, or even down to my legs in my short skirt, but his eyes remain locked on mine.<br /> "I've got a name," I say evenly. "Learn to use it and you'll get your drink."<br /> His eyes flash. "Nah, I like doll better."<br /> I shrug one shoulder, biting my bottom lip. "Then I guess you'll be thirsty."<br /> He tightens his shoulders and the muscle in his jaw pops. "I guess you won't be getting any of my money."<br /> I smile easily, crossing my ankles. "What a pity, I guess I'll just have to settle for money from all of these other people in this super busy bar." I tell him, knocking him back down a peg. He thinks he's the only man alive, I can show him he isn't.<br /> I'm only slightly concerned when he leans back, flashing his teeth at me in a vicious smile. "That so?"<br /> I flash a full smile of my own, watching him watch me. "Goodnight, Mr. Kross."<br /> Before I can think about walking away he slides his stool back with a loud scrape and he's standing, turning away. "Boys! Hey, everyone shut up!" Everything stops. Literally. Even the freaking music. "Listen up, under no circumstances will anyone here order from, talk to, or tip Doll Face here." I glance around, shocked to see that way more bikers have gotten here in the past hours. They're practically crawling all over the place. Daimon turns to me with a dark smile and lowers back onto the stool. "Looks like you aren't making a dime until you make me my drink, doll."<br /> He's so smug, sure he's won. He has no idea how wrong he is. Had the old Alyssa been here, she'd have scrambled to do what he wants, but she died long ago. I work on burying her deeper everything single day and I'm not about to let Daimon Kross dig her up again.<br /> "Is that what you see?" I walk towards the bar, leaning forward, less than a foot from his face. I want him to look at my body, that would make this easier, but I can see him fighting it. He keeps his gaze locked onto mine. It's intense and I don't know why I'm still fighting this instead of just giving the man his beverage, but I just won't back down. That's not the Alyssa I am anymore. I can never be her again. Knowing I'm playing with fire I say, "Because I see a very full bar of men who are going to be very thirsty in a little while, and a waitress who's night just got way easier. Since no one will need me now, I'll just be over there with my feet up."<br /> You're no one if you can't walk the walk after you talk the talk, so without over thinking it, I walk out from behind the bar, my heels clicking as I cross to the closest booth in the corner. I sit down, pushing back so that I can prop my legs up in the booth in front of me.<br /> It's ballsy, but worth it.<br /> I certainly don't expect him to follow me, but he does. Right to the booth. I should have thought about my positioning before now, but it's too late. He stands at the front of the booth, towering over me where I sit. In the corner like this, he could murder me with one hand and no one would even know it happened.<br /> "Just who do you think you are?" He snaps, his hands at his sides clenching like his jaw.<br /> I lean forward, drawing my knees up just a little. Not enough to flash him my undies, but enough to make him think I might. "Alyssa," I look up at him under my lashes. "Not doll."<br /> He lifts one hand and rubs his jaw, his annoyance rolling off of him. "Get up and do your job." He bites out. It's a direct order, I can feel the urge in me to do as he says, but I hold that down. I fight it with every bit of fight I've got left.<br /> I blink up at him once. "What's my name?" I say tauntingly.<br /> He leans down so fast I don't know how I don't jump, and he grips the edge of the table, making it creek. "Doll. There are other waitresses here."<br /> "Smart boy," I nod, looking past him. "There goes one now."<br /> Becca emerges from the stairs, scanning in a frenzy to find him. When she sees him she smiles sweetly, lowering her head just a little before waving once. He looks away from her and back to me, his eyes finally trailing over me like I've wanted from the beginning. It's calculated though, an appraisal he is choosing to show no interest in.<br /> "This isn't over." He snaps.<br /> I stretch my legs back out, crossing my ankles again. "Looks over to me."<br /> I feel the table shake in his grip, behind his face I can tell he's holding back. "You're really asking for it aren't you?" He whispers menacingly, leaning down closer to me. "Do you have any idea who I am?"<br /> I don't know where I get the nerve, or maybe it isn't nerve at all, maybe I just want to do it, but I reach out, lightly touching his hand with mine. It's a quick pat, condescending even, before I pull back. I can already tell he's pissed and I haven't even said anything yet. You don't initiate contact with guys like him. It takes their power away. They don't like that. But I don't care anymore.<br /> "I hate to break your heart," I whisper, sweet as pie. "But I stopped being afraid of the big bad wolf a long long time ago." He jerks upright at my words, glowering down at me as if I'd slapped him before he controls his expression. "You'll have to do much better than all that if you expect to scare me."<br /> "I'm sure I can." He seethes, backing away. "You'll regret this." He says.<br /> I just shrug, watching him go. "I'll add it to the list."<br /> I barely get a five minute reprieve from the overpowering presence of the Daimon Kross before TJ is rushing towards me, the look of horror all over her face. "Alyssa, what did I tell you?" She asks, exasperated. "Are you actually insane?"<br /> "No ma'am, I just don't like being treated like a thing instead of a person." I tell her and she sighs loudly.<br /> "That's all very commendable and all, Alyssa, but you're working in a club right now." She looks down her nose at me and then shakes her head. "Actually, you aren't even working."<br /> "He told-." I try to say but she cuts me off.<br /> "Get on stage." She points to the one in the middle that Ren is exiting. "If you can't be useful as a bartender tonight, you're going to have to do something."<br /> I nod once. "You got it boss."<br /> I take the stairs quickly, brushing into the dressing room and changing into a stage outfit. I pick a frilly pink thing, going for that innocent angel thing that drives men wild, pairing it with some far from innocent undergarments to strip down to. I know the drill.<br /> The beat from the bass blurs everything as I take the stage.<br /> I wrap one hand around the pole, letting the music sink into my bones as I make a slow circle around it once.<br /> I can feel him before I see him.<br /> I open my eyes, looking up to the balcony on my left and there he is, all alone. His eyes on me, a smile on his face. I want to hit that smile right into next week. He thinks he's won. I'd bet money he was the one who made TJ put me on stage. He thinks he can degrade me by forcing me onto the stage tonight, but again, the joke is on him.<br /> I'm way past letting something like this get to me.<br /> I let it fuel me, my movements becoming sultrier.<br /> I don't look away. Not the entire time. I stare directly into his eyes, watching the smile slowly fade from his face. I'm not letting him win, not even as I'm stripped down in front of all of these people.<br /> I don't care, and it is driving him absolutely mad. | Red113 | 16 | https://facebook.com/61554938783328 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

My dad is really mad at you and Raven being mates." Twin sister Reagan said to my mate.<br /> "I don't mind rejecting her, but I would have been embarrassed to face my mate" Justin said.<br /> "My father has decided to appoint me as his future Alpha not my sister Raven. So, I will be your luna." Reagan said to Justin.<br /> ******** <br /> I silently run through the woods letting my wolf Emerald out tonight. She has been anxious all day, well really the last few days, and I could tell that she needed to come out for a run. <br /> Alpha Cole Walker is the Alpha of the Blood Walker pack. He is said to be one of the most dangerous Alphas in the United States. It is said that he would hurt anyone who dared to enter his pack uninvited. Due to this fact, most of our pack members studiously avoid this area altogether.<br /> My twin sister, Reagan, is the golden child of the pack. They all love her unconditionally. She is cherished and appreciated, no matter what she does. They all seem to ignore the fact that she is a horrible and mean she-wolf. I was born first, and with that should come the respect that after I find my mate, I will officially be the Luna here, and he will take over as the Alpha of the pack. Yet they all treat her as the next Luna. <br /> My sister and I are the only children that our parents had. The Goddess never blessed them with another child, even though they tried for years. My father, Alpha Graham Sullivan, is very strict with me. I am not allowed to leave my room other than to eat my meals and then return back to my room again. I am also not allowed to leave our pack for any reason. I have never even crossed the border of the Sliver Blade pack in my life. <br /> I was the Alpha's daughter, but I was not a valued member of this pack. Telling on me has always resulted in a bonus for whoever told on me to my father. I have had to learn how to overcome this on my own. It has made me very independent over the years, as well as a very good climber. I use the tree outside my window at the pack house, to climb up and down to get in and out of my room.<br /> From my vantage point, I can see who is coming now and rolled my eyes so hard I almost saw my brain. It was Reagan, and she was pulling the arm of a pretty large guy, as she headed toward the grassy bank near my tree. I realized right this moment that I have picked a terrible place to hide. I should have doubled back and then climbed in my window to my room and I would have been safe and sound in my room. Reagan is clearly out with one of her many men, as she was allowed to stay out and do whatever she wanted to. I mean how else could she beat me to finding her mate if she didn't flirt with all the unmated men in our pack? I rolled my eyes again and then froze when I looked at them again and got a good look at his face.<br /> That smell coming off of him was starting to drive me wild, he smelled like freshly baked cinnamon buns, and I was now pissed off. She had come here with the guy that I had a crush on, someone with whom she had never shown any interest in before. It was our Beta's son and the guy that I have had a crush on for the last year and a half.<br /> "No, don't stop them, Raven, she has already been dating with him for the last few months. This is not the first time, it has been well before he returned to the pack earlier this week. They are together now, dating, and they have both vowed to reject their actual mates to stay together to take over and run this pack. Please, just try to bear it, I will help you get through it. I am glad that you are in a secure location, this may make you pass out" Emerald linked me, and I felt physically sick.<br /> "How do you know this? Did she know that he is my mate? Why can't I approach him? Maybe he wants me, Emerald. Please let me stop this. He might not know that I am his mate, he may still want me, want US! I don't want to lose him, Emerald. He may not be aware his true mate is here. Can't he already smell our scent up here, like I smelled his scent? Are you sure that this is the only way? Please Emerald" I linked her back, and I feel the tears that are already sliding down my face. I have questions, and I need answers.<br /> I am frustrated. I don't want to give up on my true mate. He doesn't even know that I am here, and I do want him. I don't want to give him up, especially not to my sister Reagan. I don't know if I can survive this level of betrayal.<br /> "I can't wait for mom and dad to announce to the pack that we will be the Alpha and Luna tomorrow. This is something that I have really wanted for the last 8 years. I am so glad you decided that we could be chosen mates. " My sister says to my mate.<br /> "Besides, I am also glad that you are willing to lead the Silver Blade pack with me. I have a feeling that my freak of a sister who keeps staring at you is going to be crushed when she finds out that we are together. You dodged by deciding to accept me as your chosen mate. I know that she has a crush on you, so she would probably try to ask you out or something when she sees that you are back from break." She adds.<br /> "I think we will be so happy together. Raven will be so angry when she finds out that we planned this months ago. I cannot wait for her to find out. I even told mom to have her sit on the front row for the pack meeting tomorrow, so I can see her face when dad makes the announcement. I am going to put her next to you so it will hurt her more when dad calls you up on stage. When she realizes that her crush is going to be my mate, she is going to be so jealous of me. I am so going to get a picture of her face when she finds out, as I will want to remember that moment for a long time" I heard Reagan say to him, and I was so choked up I couldn't hold in the sob of pain that managed to escape.<br /> It wasn't loud, but with werewolf hearing, it was loud enough. I just stayed completely still and prayed that they hadn't heard me, but Justin started talking when my sob escaped, and they had no reaction, so I think I am safe.<br /> "I have always thought that you were a she-wolf, Reagan. I am so glad that you came up to my training with your offer, and for us to get extra special time together. If Raven were allowed to move around the pack, I don't think that she would be missing the fact that she is my mate. I scented her today when I got back to the pack and confirmed she is my mate. Per our agreement, I don't mind rejecting her, as I am clearly getting the better sister out of this deal. I would have been embarrassed to have to call that freak of nature my mate" Justin said, and with it, my heart was completely crushed.<br /> These two evil people deserved each other, and I will not waste another tear on his betrayal. He "chose" her, so he can keep her. She will never be faithful to him, and he will not ever be able to trust that their children are his either. She was just doing this to ensure that they become the next Alpha and Luna. She is what he wanted, so she can have him. I am thoroughly disgusted by both of them, and I will not allow them to make me sad one more day. I had already decided to get out of this horrible pack, and I will not miss the Silver Blade pack for a second. <br /> "She is your mate? Are you serious? Oh, this is the best" Reagan said as she laughed out in joy at hearing this information. "Justin, why haven't you mentioned this to me before?" Reagan continued.<br /> "I just found out about it earlier today as I have been gone for my training for the last 4 months. I caught my mate's scent and followed it so I could go ahead and reject them. I realized it was coming from the Alpha level, and when I went up and it led me straight to her door, it was really faint, but I sensed it. She doesn't even know it yet. I am sure that this information is not going to go over well with your parents. They may be upset when they find out. Are they still going to want us to move forward with our plan? Or are they going to want me and Raven to be mates because we are true mates?" Justin asked Reagan. I have to admit, I was interested in her reply as well, but I already suspected what the answer was going to be.<br /> "Oh no Justin, you will definitely be staying with me. I know dad is really going to get a kick out of you and Raven being mates. Mom might feel a little bad for her, but I think that this is great. I could not be happier that her true mate, will become my chosen mate.<br /> We will rule the Silver Blade pack together, and it will hurt her every day to see us together. It is my pack any way, it was never going to be hers. Maybe if we are lucky since she doesn't have a wolf, she won't be able to scent you, and your rejection might even hurt her when you do it. That would be the best-case scenario for all of us" Reagan said, and I could tell that Justin was a little shocked at how hateful she was. Reagan could tell that Justin was not liking this side of her so she quickly changed her attitude and started cooing at Justin, "She doesn't deserve you, baby, I love you and I want you. Hopefully, you will come to love me too.<br /> I was just worried, I don't want you falling in love with my sister after we have already mated." Reagan said to Justin, looking up at him adoringly through her long lashes. I have to admit, she really knows how to work people to do what she wants them to. Her ability to look innocent and pure is without measure, she could have been an actress.<br /> "Dad hates Raven. He will be very happy about this. He has never loved her since the day that she was born. Mom might be a little upset, but she will get over it. She and dad are chosen mates, she gave up her true mate to become the Luna of the Silver Blade pack. She did it herself, and if it is good enough for her, then it is good enough for me to do it as well. We make the perfect couple. We will have strong pups, and our pack will flourish" Reagan said, and I am stunned. I knew my dad was mean, but to hate me, why? What reason could he possibly have for hating me? My parents have told the whole pack numerous times through the years that they were true mates. They are very affectionate with each other in front of the pack. I didn't even know that they weren't true mates. What else don't I know about them?<br /> "We will do the same thing. You will have to reject Raven first thing in the morning, or after the pack meeting. But you will have to do it where no one else will hear you. Dad is going to tell the pack that we are true mates, so they will fully support us. Dad thinks that it would be a mistake to not have the pack's full support behind us when we go to take it over from my parents" Reagan said, and I am amazed at all the plans that they have kept away from me. Just another thing that shows how much difference there is between Reagan and me. I hear them touching again and wonder when they plan on leaving the area, don't they need to get back to the pack house?<br /> I narrow my eyes at Reagan, as she is ecstatic about getting to truly rub all of my misfortune in right now. Justin is getting the opportunity to reject me, so the situation that we are now in is all positive for them.<br /> "Raven, why are you out of the house? Are you supposed to be out here? Are you OK? That fall looked like it hurt pretty bad" I hear my sister ask me with an innocent look on her face like she cared about me. She was fully aware of how I am kept a prisoner here at the Silver Blade pack. I really have to get out of here. I needed to check and see how badly I am hurt because I don't know if I even have time to go pack a bag now. I may be having to leave here with nothing, but I am OK with that. I just need to get the heck out of here. I will figure out what I need to do after I am safely free of Silver Blade.<br /> "Are you ignoring me, Raven? Are you sure you want to do that to me? Fine then, I will just make sure that you get punished for leaving your room. You are not supposed to be out here anyway. I will just let dad know that you are out here, and he will take care of you" Reagan said with a smirk, and then she started mind linking. <br /> I and my wolf were running away from this pack. But they caught us immediately.<br /> "If you come back here now Raven, I won't punish you for leaving your room without permission" I heard my father tell me. <br /> "Nothing in the world could possess me to do that father," I told him, and I see his eyes glazing over as he goes to link someone. I could care less what they have to say to me, and I turned to walk away. <br /> "You will get punishment in the Blood Walker pack. You know how dangerous they are Raven, you have heard this fact for your whole life. They cannot be trusted, and you are now a rogue. We have told you, and the whole pack, exactly what happens to those who trespass on their land. The moment they scent you they will move in, and you will die today. Is that what you want? Do you want to die? I will get you more freedom in the pack. I will allow you to go to the library every day instead of once a week. How does that sound?" my mother's voice is calming and comforting. She has never before sounded as nice as this, and I know that dad put her up to try to lure me back into the Siler Blade pack. They must be desperate to do it, so I want to see how far they intended to go with it.<br /> "Let me ask you this mother. Was the plan to get Justin to take Reagan as a chosen mate her idea, or dad's?" I asked her. Mom is not a very good liar. I can see her expression as we are only about 20 feet apart from each other right now. <br /> "I don't know what you are talking about Raven, they are mates," my mom said to me, and now I smirk at her. Clearly, mom was keeping me out of the loop and doesn't know that I know for a fact that they aren't.<br /> "Thanks for always lying to me mom. That makes it so much easier on me. I will not be coming back to the Silver Blade pack. This is the last time, Goddess willing, that you all will probably see me and actually I am welcoming the death that is coming to me. It will be better than the life I have lived since Reagan tried to hurt me, and my own dad called me a liar when I told him what actually happened. Justin is not her mate mom, and I know this because he is MY mate. It is disgusting what all you three have done to me and allowed to be done to me my whole life. I never deserved to be treated the way I was. I can only hope that I can find my way and get to live a life that allows me to find someone who loves me and realizes that I am a good person. I don't think that is too much to ask for, do you mom? It seems like you and dad are willing to do anything to get me to come back over the fence, but we both know that if I did come back, I would either immediately be thrown in the cells. So, I will take my chances over here, where at least I have a chance" I told them and turned again to leave. I only made it a few steps before I was stopped again by my father's hateful words.<br /> "You are ungrateful daughter, How do you have the nerve to say that to me? I have clothed and fed you, provided you a room, and let you go to school. I did take care of you, and it is disgusting to see how you repay me. Lying about Justin being your mate. Trying to take your sister's mate away from her. I know that I can speak for your mother as well as myself when I say that we hope the Blood Walker pack disposes of you quickly. I only wish I could punish you myself" my dad roared out, and the hate was coming off of him in waves.<br /> "You disgust me father," I told him and the tone I used to draw out the word father let him know just how little I thought of him being my father. "I have never done anything to cause a problem or disruption in the pack, or in the family. I did what I was told this whole time. Even as knowing that you let the whole pack know that I was fair game if they wanted to hurt me, and they did dad, over and over again. You know what, it was my family that really took the award for the most torment. Your unwarranted hate, mom never supporting me, and my sister allowed to try to hurt me, and incite others up against me made me realize that life will be much better on this side of the border than it was on that side. Even if I only live an hour more, it would be better than the years I spent over there."<br /> I wiped off my tears and walked past them, suddenly, I hear something coming to meโฆ<br /> <br /> <br /> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><br /> Wanna listen more? download our App and check more!

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." | ForFun-120 | 72 | https://facebook.com/61554751622817 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

I can hear the demand in his voice, he's practically begging for me to submit, but I won't.<br /> I walk back, making him think he's getting his way. A coy grin tugs at the corners of his mouth, but I stop in front of him, leaning back against the other side of the bar. With a slow ease I cross my arms in front of me, expecting his gaze to dip to my chest that's now more pushed out in my tank, or even down to my legs in my short skirt, but his eyes remain locked on mine.<br /> "I've got a name," I say evenly. "Learn to use it and you'll get your drink."<br /> His eyes flash. "Nah, I like doll better."<br /> I shrug one shoulder, biting my bottom lip. "Then I guess you'll be thirsty."<br /> โ<br /> It was after ten on Friday night, The Bar was popping. By the capacity of people I was inclined to believe that every single person in Kettle's Bell was here tonight. Between the music and the people my ears were filled with a hum of activity. The place was alive. It was going to be a good night. Jeb was off on vacation with the newest Mrs, and TJ was in charge tonight. There was just something about working a place like this for a woman that was so much more satisfying than when you do it for a man. It was more empowering and less sleazy.<br /> At least a little.<br /> I was on a high, fixing drinks faster than I ever had, getting bigger tips that I'd gotten in all of my shifts so far, and my song was on.<br /> I was in an untouchable zone.<br /> An hour earlier I'd heard the terror bringing whisper of "They're here." Being passed around the bar area. I didn't have to ask who to know. I'd wondered how many days I'd have to work before I finally got to see the ones all the stories are about. According to TJ, they came often, so I was admittedly a little curious at least when I got news they'd finally decided to show.<br /> Keeping cool, still pretending to be focused on the washed up jock sitting in front of me at the bar I'd scanned heads. No one new yet. I'd been really ready to chalk it all up to small town gossip when finally I saw them.<br /> It wasn't hard to know it had to be them, the way the crowd split open for them like they were Gods. Six men brushed in the front door, all looking like they could break any person in this bar in two if they so pleased. Freakishly tall, unnervingly built, and covered in tattoos, they definitely made an entrance. They'd broken off just inside the door, two heading over to the stairs, three moving to find a spot (not that it was hard since the full booth of people jumped out of their seats and practically ran away as they got near) by the center stage where Candy Crush was up on the pole.<br /> The last one came over to the bar, sitting just three stools down from jocky.<br /> "Bourbon." He said, folding both of his hands on the bar top. He was handsome, not so much in the conventional way. His face was long and his beard was shaved up close to his jaw, very well-manicured. His hands were tattooed to look like skeletons and he smiled wickedly when he caught me looking. "You like?" He'd asked and I had shrugged casually as I poured his drink.<br /> "Pretty cool ink." I slid his drink to him with a smile.<br /> He took a long swig of the glass and then leaned forward on his elbows. "You got any ink, new girl?"<br /> "Actually, it's Alyssa, but no." I reached under the bar for a sip of my water, but he continued to stare.<br /> "How'd you end up here?" He asked after a minute, the question sounding strangely like an accusation, but I kept up the smile, popping the tops off of two beverages for the girls down the bar.<br /> "Bad luck I guess." I winked and he pulled out a toothpick and stuck it in the side of his mouth, letting it dangle between his teeth.<br /> "I'd say." He'd said, then like a harmless puppy, he'd taken his drink to join the others, Becca chasing him down on his way. She called him Toby and was asking him where Daimon was at. I gathered from his clipped answer and her sad expression that tonight wouldn't be the night I got to meet this baddy bad leader of theirs.<br /> Their coolness had long since worn off since they'd been here. No one was getting beat up, I didn't see any deals going down, and they were spending money left and right. I really didn't see the issue with these guys honestly. The one from earlier, Toby, had even gone and requested a song. To his credit, it was a bomb song.<br /> He'd gone back over to the stage area, which was only a bit odd since he wouldn't even be able to hear it from there where the dancers had their own music, but I loved it, so I didn't question it a bit.<br /> It was getting closer and closer to midnight, the time it would really start to get crazy in here, and I enjoyed my moment of down time. I let my hips move to the music, closing my eyes as I swayed behind the bar, blocking out everything else.<br /> "Who are you?" A deep gravelly voice broke through my concentration near the end of the song. I opened my eyes and nearly needed to pinch myself under the bar. With one look I knew exactly who this must be.<br /> There was no question in my mind, this was Daimon Kross.<br /> I wanted to react to him, but I didn't let myself.<br /> I did on the inside though.<br /> Holy freaking baby Jesus mother Mary and the whole gang, this guy was...there wasn't a word. I didn't know men that looked like this existed outside of a Hollywood made film. First of all, like the others, he was huge. Shoulders so broad I'm sure he could easily drape me over them, not that I'm picturing that, and he had to be at least 6'4. I'm not short by any means, actually a little tall for a girl, but jes-us was he up there. His black t-shirt probably deserved a metal the way it was working its little heart out keeping his thick muscles contained, and I was more than a little curious about the lines of tattoos I could see running out of the neck out his shirt and his sleeves.<br /> As if his body wasn't distracting enough though, his face was everything a face should be. A thick jaw with just enough scruff, dimpled chin, cut cheek bones, long sharp nose with a pale white scar across the top, and those eyes...deep set amber colored eyes fringed with jet black lashes and over shadowed by the thick lines of his black eye brows. He looked dangerous, he gave off a whole sense of danger, and somehow, my body wanted to drive right past all of the caution signs and collide with him anyway.<br /> Luckily, I'm the one in control, not my body.<br /> With a very well-practiced level of disinterest, I look away, looking to my nails on my right hand, the glossy black paint is fine, but I pretend to look for an imperfection.<br /> "I'm Alyssa," I tell him, turning back to look him right in the eyes. "Who are you?"<br /> I already, know, I just ask to piss him off. The way his eyes narrow tell me it worked.<br /> "Kross," He says with an air of authority. "Daimon Kross."<br /> I laugh at his seriousness, probably a bad idea, but you can tell the guy thinks a lot of himself. "Bond, James Bond." I mimic in a deep voice, turning my back to him while I throw away a couple empty bottles.<br /> When I look back he's leaned forward, elbows on the bar, hands gripping my side of it.<br /> My god, he has nice hands.<br /> His eyes narrow in on mine. "Careful." He whispers. I know his type. The kind that thinks he owns anyone he decides he wants to own. But I can't be owned. Not anymore. I turn to walk away, but his booming voice stops me. "I want a beverage."<br /> "I'll go get Becca for you." I look at him over my shoulder.<br /> His whole body tenses. "I didn't ask for Becca." He grinds out. "I asked you."<br /> I just smile. "She'll be right down." I turn again, taking a few steps away, catching my breath while he can't see me.<br /> "Hey, come back here and make me a drink, doll." I can hear the demand in his voice, he's practically begging for me to submit, but I won't.<br /> I walk back, making him think he's getting his way. A coy grin tugs at the corners of his mouth, but I stop in front of him, leaning back against the other side of the bar. With a slow ease I cross my arms in front of me, expecting his gaze to dip to my chest that's now more pushed out in my tank, or even down to my legs in my short skirt, but his eyes remain locked on mine.<br /> "I've got a name," I say evenly. "Learn to use it and you'll get your drink."<br /> His eyes flash. "Nah, I like doll better."<br /> I shrug one shoulder, biting my bottom lip. "Then I guess you'll be thirsty."<br /> He tightens his shoulders and the muscle in his jaw pops. "I guess you won't be getting any of my money."<br /> I smile easily, crossing my ankles. "What a pity, I guess I'll just have to settle for money from all of these other people in this super busy bar." I tell him, knocking him back down a peg. He thinks he's the only man alive, I can show him he isn't.<br /> I'm only slightly concerned when he leans back, flashing his teeth at me in a vicious smile. "That so?"<br /> I flash a full smile of my own, watching him watch me. "Goodnight, Mr. Kross."<br /> Before I can think about walking away he slides his stool back with a loud scrape and he's standing, turning away. "Boys! Hey, everyone shut up!" Everything stops. Literally. Even the freaking music. "Listen up, under no circumstances will anyone here order from, talk to, or tip Doll Face here." I glance around, shocked to see that way more bikers have gotten here in the past hours. They're practically crawling all over the place. Daimon turns to me with a dark smile and lowers back onto the stool. "Looks like you aren't making a dime until you make me my drink, doll."<br /> He's so smug, sure he's won. He has no idea how wrong he is. Had the old Alyssa been here, she'd have scrambled to do what he wants, but she died long ago. I work on burying her deeper everything single day and I'm not about to let Daimon Kross dig her up again.<br /> "Is that what you see?" I walk towards the bar, leaning forward, less than a foot from his face. I want him to look at my body, that would make this easier, but I can see him fighting it. He keeps his gaze locked onto mine. It's intense and I don't know why I'm still fighting this instead of just giving the man his beverage, but I just won't back down. That's not the Alyssa I am anymore. I can never be her again. Knowing I'm playing with fire I say, "Because I see a very full bar of men who are going to be very thirsty in a little while, and a waitress who's night just got way easier. Since no one will need me now, I'll just be over there with my feet up."<br /> You're no one if you can't walk the walk after you talk the talk, so without over thinking it, I walk out from behind the bar, my heels clicking as I cross to the closest booth in the corner. I sit down, pushing back so that I can prop my legs up in the booth in front of me.<br /> It's ballsy, but worth it.<br /> I certainly don't expect him to follow me, but he does. Right to the booth. I should have thought about my positioning before now, but it's too late. He stands at the front of the booth, towering over me where I sit. In the corner like this, he could murder me with one hand and no one would even know it happened.<br /> "Just who do you think you are?" He snaps, his hands at his sides clenching like his jaw.<br /> I lean forward, drawing my knees up just a little. Not enough to flash him my undies, but enough to make him think I might. "Alyssa," I look up at him under my lashes. "Not doll."<br /> He lifts one hand and rubs his jaw, his annoyance rolling off of him. "Get up and do your job." He bites out. It's a direct order, I can feel the urge in me to do as he says, but I hold that down. I fight it with every bit of fight I've got left.<br /> I blink up at him once. "What's my name?" I say tauntingly.<br /> He leans down so fast I don't know how I don't jump, and he grips the edge of the table, making it creek. "Doll. There are other waitresses here."<br /> "Smart boy," I nod, looking past him. "There goes one now."<br /> Becca emerges from the stairs, scanning in a frenzy to find him. When she sees him she smiles sweetly, lowering her head just a little before waving once. He looks away from her and back to me, his eyes finally trailing over me like I've wanted from the beginning. It's calculated though, an appraisal he is choosing to show no interest in.<br /> "This isn't over." He snaps.<br /> I stretch my legs back out, crossing my ankles again. "Looks over to me."<br /> I feel the table shake in his grip, behind his face I can tell he's holding back. "You're really asking for it aren't you?" He whispers menacingly, leaning down closer to me. "Do you have any idea who I am?"<br /> I don't know where I get the nerve, or maybe it isn't nerve at all, maybe I just want to do it, but I reach out, lightly touching his hand with mine. It's a quick pat, condescending even, before I pull back. I can already tell he's pissed and I haven't even said anything yet. You don't initiate contact with guys like him. It takes their power away. They don't like that. But I don't care anymore.<br /> "I hate to break your heart," I whisper, sweet as pie. "But I stopped being afraid of the big bad wolf a long long time ago." He jerks upright at my words, glowering down at me as if I'd slapped him before he controls his expression. "You'll have to do much better than all that if you expect to scare me."<br /> "I'm sure I can." He seethes, backing away. "You'll regret this." He says.<br /> I just shrug, watching him go. "I'll add it to the list."<br /> I barely get a five minute reprieve from the overpowering presence of the Daimon Kross before TJ is rushing towards me, the look of horror all over her face. "Alyssa, what did I tell you?" She asks, exasperated. "Are you actually insane?"<br /> "No ma'am, I just don't like being treated like a thing instead of a person." I tell her and she sighs loudly.<br /> "That's all very commendable and all, Alyssa, but you're working in a club right now." She looks down her nose at me and then shakes her head. "Actually, you aren't even working."<br /> "He told-." I try to say but she cuts me off.<br /> "Get on stage." She points to the one in the middle that Ren is exiting. "If you can't be useful as a bartender tonight, you're going to have to do something."<br /> I nod once. "You got it boss."<br /> I take the stairs quickly, brushing into the dressing room and changing into a stage outfit. I pick a frilly pink thing, going for that innocent angel thing that drives men wild, pairing it with some far from innocent undergarments to strip down to. I know the drill.<br /> The beat from the bass blurs everything as I take the stage.<br /> I wrap one hand around the pole, letting the music sink into my bones as I make a slow circle around it once.<br /> I can feel him before I see him.<br /> I open my eyes, looking up to the balcony on my left and there he is, all alone. His eyes on me, a smile on his face. I want to hit that smile right into next week. He thinks he's won. I'd bet money he was the one who made TJ put me on stage. He thinks he can degrade me by forcing me onto the stage tonight, but again, the joke is on him.<br /> I'm way past letting something like this get to me.<br /> I let it fuel me, my movements becoming sultrier.<br /> I don't look away. Not the entire time. I stare directly into his eyes, watching the smile slowly fade from his face. I'm not letting him win, not even as I'm stripped down in front of all of these people.<br /> I don't care, and it is driving him absolutely mad. | Red113 | 16 | https://facebook.com/61554938783328 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | 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. | Lov002 | 57 | https://facebook.com/100092720766465 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Instantly, my muscles all revolted against that idea. My entire body was sore, but my core made sure to remind me that it'd taken a beating the night before. I wiped my eyes and sat up, unsure of where I was for a moment. Until I looked around. There were toned and undressed hips all around me. I smiled to myself as I captured the image in my mind for rainy days in my future. Mack, Jones, and Xavier were all tangled in the different blankets they'd brought with them to bed the night before. Earlier that morning, really.<br /> The back of the tour bus was a bedroom, fitted with one massive bed that took up the entire room. The normal tour bus accommodations existed between the bathroom and large bedroom, but no one had volunteered to sleep in their usual bed. They'd each found a way to wrap around me in the big bed and didn't miss the chance to take me once more before we passed out for good.<br /> ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ<br /> Layla<br /> "Oh, yeah! Eat me, Matty!" The woman screaming for my boyfriend was the lead singer of a moderately popular band called The Homewreckers. It was an aptly named band, apparently. Of course, she sounded amazing as she screamed. I always felt like a choking chimpanzee when I came out loud.<br /> I stood in the doorway of The Homewreckers' dressing room and took a deep breath. Unfortunately, it was scented with weed. "Hey, Matthew?"<br /> Matthew, who'd always told me he hated being called Matty, yanked his head out of Miriam Dark's private part and spun around to face me. It was almost comical how fast he spun and how wide his eyes were. He was white collar handsome. His hair was always perfectly cut, his eyebrows were never too long or bushy, and he shaved his face twice a day. He had nice blue eyes and a nice smile. Nice body, nice manhood, nice guy. Well, maybe not a nice guy. After all, his face was covered in another woman's private partl fluids.<br /> "Layla! What are you doing here?" He climbed to his feet and I watched in disgust as he shoved his flaccid manhood back into his nice dress pants. Then, as an afterthought, he wiped his face and stumbled closer to me. "This isn't..."<br /> I rolled my eyes. "It isn't what it looks like? God, Matthew, at least be original."<br /> Miriam took her time closing her legs and gently patted Matthew's shoulder. "Are we done here, Matty? Or do you think you'll be finished soon and want to finish here?"<br /> Laughing, I rolled my shoulders and leveled a hard stare at Matty. "We're done. Whatever we had is over, so feel free to finish playtime with whoever and whatever. I'm on vacation for a few days, so don't call me."<br /> He rushed after me and grabbed my arm. "Wait a second, Layla. I'm sorry. I messed up. Just give me a second to explain."<br /> I yanked my arm free and scowled at him. "Don't touch me."<br /> "Come on, Layla. Don't be like this. Talk to me. I feel terrible." He tried to take my hand again. "Please, baby."<br /> I wasn't going to let him see that I was upset. He didn't deserve that. Instead, I stepped away from him and snarled. "Touch me and I'll break every one of your fingers, Matty. Go and finish sleeping with your client. I believe she's still waiting."<br /> "Jesus. You work for me, Layla! How do you think this is going to go?"<br /> I backed away from him. "I think it's going to go just fine. Like I said, I'm on vacation. Don't call me. Don't message me. Don't think about me. As my ex-boyfriend or my boss."<br /> " Maybe not you, the perfect Layla.You have to accept that." He followed me. "I know that. I shouldn't have started anything with Miriam, but when I'm on the road with the band, it's hard. I miss you and she's there."<br /> My heart hardened and I took a deep breath. "How long have you been sleeping with her?"<br /> He swallowed so hard I saw his Adam's apple bobble. "Come on, Layla. None of this will matter. I'll stop. I'll stop and we can get engaged. You want that, right?"<br /> I gagged. "Ew, Matthew. There's not a chance that I'm getting engaged to you! I'd rather stick my papilla in a truck winch and turn it on."<br /> Miriam sauntered out of her dressing room topless and looked me over. "We've been slept for a year. Matty eats private part like a champ."<br /> A real smile stretched my lips. "Now I know you're full of foolish talk. He might get an climax, but a champ? Hardly. Anyway, enjoy him. I hope him not having a girlfriend doesn't ruin your lady boner."<br /> "Miriam, go back inside! Layla, just stop and talk to me!"<br /> Miriam and I both answered Matthew in unison. <br /> I looked at her and shrugged. "Maybe you're not all bad."<br /> Without waiting for either of them to say anything else, I turned around and walked away, ignoring Matthew as he called my name. Eventually he stopped and I walked faster. I needed to get out of there before I cried. I wasn't about to cry backstage at a music festival. Someone would probably jump out and tit punch me as some anti-crying ritual.<br /> As I walked faster, I couldn't fight the way my eyes filled with tears. No matter how lackluster Matthew was, I'd devoted years of my life to him. I'd just wasted my vacation time on him, too. I thought sneaking out to meet him on the road would be fun and lend some much needed excitement to our relationship. Things hadn't been good...ever...but I'd hoped that we could at least get back to a place where I didn't dread seeing him at work every day.<br /> I wiped at my eyes and felt the mascara I'd coated my eyelashes with earlier. Stupid. I swore and stomped my way farther away from Matthew and the ugly end of our relationship. The image of his hip in the air while he happily ate Miriam Dark's hoo-hah like a pig in slop would forever be burned into my memory.<br /> I couldn't wait to get back home to my apartment and destroy everything of Matthew's that he'd left behind. I needed to update my social media. I didn't do much on it anymore, but I couldn't stand the idea of people thinking I was still with the loser. I'd have to call Grandma. That thought made me want to sob. She hated Matthew, but she liked that I wasn't alone in LA. Knowing I was single again was going to worry her. And if she told Jagger, my older brother, about me being single, Jagger would call and demand to know what'd happened. Then, he would try to fly out and kick Matthew's hip. It was just a mess.<br /> Growling out a frustrated sound, I looked down to make sure I stepped over a big mess of cords. I couldn't believe someone had left the stage like that. It was a hazard. Not to mention, it would be so easy to show if someone tripped over the wrong cord.<br /> I should've been paying attention because when the crowd's wild cheering broke through my self-pitying stupor, I looked up to see how close I'd gotten to the main stage. Unfortunately, a man with a guitar was coming off the stage, looking back at another man behind him. I was moving too fast to stop in time and he wasn't looking. It happened so fast that I didn't even make a sound as I smacked right into the man and felt pain before bouncing off his hard body and going down hard. Those tangled cords.<br /> I heard a deep voice growl above me, but I reached up to feel my forehead and felt something wet. I knew my eyes went as wide as softballs and when I pulled my fingers down and saw red, I groaned. Blood was my kryptonite. My vision darkened and I gagged on my way down.<br /> <br /> Mack<br /> "Well." By the time I realized what was happening, the curvy brunette was flat on the ground. I dropped to my knees next to her and swore when I saw the blood on her forehead. "This is a new form of falling for me."<br /> Xavier squatted on her other side and frowned. "Not really a great time for joking. You knocked her out."<br /> Jones sighed and ran his hands through his hair. "Where'd she come from? Also, maybe look where you're going from now on. You ran the poor thing over. Big time."<br /> I brushed her hair out of her face and had a completely ridiculous moment of feeling like I was staring down at Sleeping Beauty. She was gorgeous. I gently patted her soft cheek. "Ma'am? Hello?"<br /> "Great work. She's jumping right to life." Jones looked over his shoulder. "You've got about thirty seconds to get her on her feet and out of the way before the crowd beats back security and runs back here."<br /> I could hear the commotion he was hearing and ground my teeth. We'd just come off an amazing show. I had planned on going to a bar and getting hammered. Taking care of a Disney princess hadn't been in my plans, but it didn't look like I had an option. I couldn't just leave her on the ground and I didn't know any of the stage hands enough to trust them with an unconscious woman.<br /> "Fine." I stood up and lifted her body over my shoulder. Her head and arms hung limply and bounced off my hip, but I figured it was better for her than getting trampled to death. "Let's get her to our bus and get the medics to check her out. She'll be safe there until she can wake up and go."<br /> Xavier nodded once and charged ahead, clearing a path. He was a giant of a man and no one was dumb enough to stay in his way. They didn't understand what a gentle soul he was. I was thankful for that when they jumped out of our way, though. Especially with a crowd of rabid fans chasing after us.<br /> Jones barked at security to make sure no one followed us out into the artist lot and slammed the heavy metal door shut behind us. He swore and scowled at the door like it was the problem. "What do we even pay security for if they can't keep people away?"<br /> The woman over my shoulder groaned and grabbed my hips. I waited to see if she would say anything else, but she didn't. Her arms fell limp again and I released a breath at not having her scream and freak out while dangling over my shoulder.<br /> "I'll call the medic." Xavier hurried ahead to the bus.<br /> "This puts a damper on my plans." I sighed and glanced over at Jones. "We put on a good show and I was planning on drinking my face off to celebrate."<br /> "The medics are quick. We'll get her taken care of, apologize, and then send her on her way. With the medics, hopefully." He ran his eyes over the full hip over my shoulder. "Too bad you knocked her out before seeing if she wanted to drink with us."<br /> I laughed. "She sure is pretty. I doubt she'll be in a forgiving mood, though. I should've been looking at where I was going."<br /> "Why change now? Forget what I said earlier. We're in our forties. Let's not waste our time. Old dogs and new tricks, you know." He reached the bus before me and opened the door. "You put your guitar down."<br /> I winced. "I'll send a text to Shane as soon as I put her down."<br /> "I'll do it now. They're going to have to chase down whatever fan saw it and took it, probably. I highly doubt it's still sitting where you left it."<br /> I didn't want to think about my baby being in someone else's hands so instead, I focused on the woman in my arms. I climbed the steps and entered the bus, letting the cool AC wash over my overheated skin. The first space on the bus was a living room with four comfortable couches and I eased the unconscious woman down on one of them.<br /> Stretched out on the couch, her curves were even more noticeable. She was wearing tight black jeans and a low-cut top that was black and mostly straps and lace. I didn't get it, but I liked it. It was bad for me to notice her body, but the top curves of her breasts were spilling out of the shirt deliciously.<br /> I forced my eyes to her forehead and frowned. The cut was definitely from my baby. It looked like either a cord or a corner of my guitar had hit her just perfectly to leave a small cut. The skin around the cut didn't look too angry and overall, she looked okay. Besides being unconscious. I ran my hands under the back of her head and felt around to see if I found a lump from her hitting her head on the ground, but there was nothing.<br /> "The medics are tied up at another stage." Xavier growled in frustration and stared down at the woman. "Cut looks fine. Anything along the back of her head?"<br /> I shook my head. "No. She seems fine, honestly."<br /> "I don't like that she passed out." He sat down across from her and rested his elbows on his knees. "Go ahead and shower. I'll watch over her until you're back."<br /> Xavier, Jones, and I had served in the military together. We'd each done enough time to know how to take care of basic medical emergencies and several other things we'd never need in civilian life. It'd been a long time since any of us had to do first-aid in the field, but we could still hold our own.<br /> "Sure. I'll be fast." I winced. "I'm the one who plowed her over. I should be the one that has to explain it."<br /> I showered as fast as possible in the small bus bathroom but I still wasn't fast enough. By the time I shut the water off, I could already hear a husky female voice I didn't recognize ranting away. I wrapped a towel around myself and rushed out to apologize and get her to stop chewing out Jones and Xavier.<br /> What I found wasn't her chewing them out, though. She was pacing back and forth in front of where they sat on their own couches with her hands on her hips and fury on her face. She wasn't angry at us, though. Nope. It seemed another man had pissed in her cereal that morning.<br /> "This is just the cherry on the cake. Why not get a scar to memorialize the day I walked in on my boyfriend cheating on me? I'm so angry I could punch him in the manhood."<br /> I swear all three of us males cringed. I also had to rearrange my thinking. She was no Disney princess. She had spunk, to say the least.<br /> "She had the nerve to brag about his oral skills. Please. I literally have had better climaxs humping my hand. Either her needs are rock bottom, which is great for her if that's the case, or she was just lying to try to hurt me. I'm embarrassed, sure! It's not everyday you walk in on your boyfriend motorboating Miriam Dark's private part lips, but whatever. I'm just pissed. I came all the way here. I shaved. I put lotion on every inch of my body. Even the backs of my knees. Did I care that they're going to get sweaty faster now? Nope. I wanted to be smooth."<br /> I leaned against the doorway and let myself really look at her. She was taller than I'd thought and had legs that stretched on for miles. The black jeans hugged her full hip and hips in a way that made my mouth water. Her waist clipped in just enough that my hands would fit in the notch perfectly if I was taking her from behind. Her shirt made her full breasts look even more delicious while she was standing and I was at half-mast almost immediately.<br /> Her body, as stunning as it was, nearly touched on the beauty that was her face. Her big blue eyes were surrounded by dark eyelashes and her pouty mouth was stained red. She had dark brown hair down to her shoulders that curled wildly. If she hadn't been swearing, her creamy skin would've really made her look like a Disney princess. She could've probably gone down to Florida and got a job playing one of them right then. I'd never been attracted to a Disney princess before, though.<br /> "And you want to know the worst part? I work for the stupid prick. And no, before anyone has the jackass assumption that I'm sleeping my way into my position, I'm not. I'm better at his job than he is and I've been sticking around for even longer than I should've because he kept promising that he'd put in a good word with his boss for me. Because I deserve it. I do his work. I can't remember the last time he's had to do a single thing. At least he chose to sleep with Miriam himself. Although, I'm pretty sure I'd be better at that, too."<br /> Jones snorted and held up his hands when the little firecracker spun on him. "I'm not disagreeing with you, honey. I'm just enjoying hearing you eviscerate this manhoodhead."<br /> She stared at him and slowly her face darkened and she brought her hand up to cover her mouth. She looked absolutely distressed and I hated it.<br /> "What's wrong?" I made myself known and was rewarded with watching her eyes trail down my chest. The way her eyes got all bedroom heavy and she licked her lips turned that almost solid shaft into a full blown shaft. I had to shift to hide it from her curious eyes.<br /> She glanced back at Jones and then at Xavier. "Oh."<br /> Xavier stood up and inched towards her. "Are you okay? Your head... Is it hurting?"<br /> She looked up at him and I saw the way her body naturally swayed towards my giant of a best friend. Something about that made me want to hug her. Some women treated Xavier and his size like a threat and it hurt him. "Oh. I can't believe I didn't realize before now. You're JAX."<br /> Jones sighed and nodded. "Yep."<br /> She pushed her curls back from her face. "Don't worry. I'm not going to fangirl. I'm just mortified. I work for your record label and this is now the most unprofessional vacation I've ever taken. I have to go. Can you just forget you ever saw me?" | Libb002 | 48 | https://facebook.com/61551403614101 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | 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. | Lov002 | 57 | https://facebook.com/100092720766465 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Instantly, my muscles all revolted against that idea. My entire body was sore, but my core made sure to remind me that it'd taken a beating the night before. I wiped my eyes and sat up, unsure of where I was for a moment. Until I looked around. There were toned and undressed hips all around me. I smiled to myself as I captured the image in my mind for rainy days in my future. Mack, Jones, and Xavier were all tangled in the different blankets they'd brought with them to bed the night before. Earlier that morning, really.<br /> The back of the tour bus was a bedroom, fitted with one massive bed that took up the entire room. The normal tour bus accommodations existed between the bathroom and large bedroom, but no one had volunteered to sleep in their usual bed. They'd each found a way to wrap around me in the big bed and didn't miss the chance to take me once more before we passed out for good.<br /> ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ<br /> Layla<br /> "Oh, yeah! Eat me, Matty!" The woman screaming for my boyfriend was the lead singer of a moderately popular band called The Homewreckers. It was an aptly named band, apparently. Of course, she sounded amazing as she screamed. I always felt like a choking chimpanzee when I came out loud.<br /> I stood in the doorway of The Homewreckers' dressing room and took a deep breath. Unfortunately, it was scented with weed. "Hey, Matthew?"<br /> Matthew, who'd always told me he hated being called Matty, yanked his head out of Miriam Dark's private part and spun around to face me. It was almost comical how fast he spun and how wide his eyes were. He was white collar handsome. His hair was always perfectly cut, his eyebrows were never too long or bushy, and he shaved his face twice a day. He had nice blue eyes and a nice smile. Nice body, nice manhood, nice guy. Well, maybe not a nice guy. After all, his face was covered in another woman's private partl fluids.<br /> "Layla! What are you doing here?" He climbed to his feet and I watched in disgust as he shoved his flaccid manhood back into his nice dress pants. Then, as an afterthought, he wiped his face and stumbled closer to me. "This isn't..."<br /> I rolled my eyes. "It isn't what it looks like? God, Matthew, at least be original."<br /> Miriam took her time closing her legs and gently patted Matthew's shoulder. "Are we done here, Matty? Or do you think you'll be finished soon and want to finish here?"<br /> Laughing, I rolled my shoulders and leveled a hard stare at Matty. "We're done. Whatever we had is over, so feel free to finish playtime with whoever and whatever. I'm on vacation for a few days, so don't call me."<br /> He rushed after me and grabbed my arm. "Wait a second, Layla. I'm sorry. I messed up. Just give me a second to explain."<br /> I yanked my arm free and scowled at him. "Don't touch me."<br /> "Come on, Layla. Don't be like this. Talk to me. I feel terrible." He tried to take my hand again. "Please, baby."<br /> I wasn't going to let him see that I was upset. He didn't deserve that. Instead, I stepped away from him and snarled. "Touch me and I'll break every one of your fingers, Matty. Go and finish sleeping with your client. I believe she's still waiting."<br /> "Jesus. You work for me, Layla! How do you think this is going to go?"<br /> I backed away from him. "I think it's going to go just fine. Like I said, I'm on vacation. Don't call me. Don't message me. Don't think about me. As my ex-boyfriend or my boss."<br /> " Maybe not you, the perfect Layla.You have to accept that." He followed me. "I know that. I shouldn't have started anything with Miriam, but when I'm on the road with the band, it's hard. I miss you and she's there."<br /> My heart hardened and I took a deep breath. "How long have you been sleeping with her?"<br /> He swallowed so hard I saw his Adam's apple bobble. "Come on, Layla. None of this will matter. I'll stop. I'll stop and we can get engaged. You want that, right?"<br /> I gagged. "Ew, Matthew. There's not a chance that I'm getting engaged to you! I'd rather stick my papilla in a truck winch and turn it on."<br /> Miriam sauntered out of her dressing room topless and looked me over. "We've been slept for a year. Matty eats private part like a champ."<br /> A real smile stretched my lips. "Now I know you're full of foolish talk. He might get an climax, but a champ? Hardly. Anyway, enjoy him. I hope him not having a girlfriend doesn't ruin your lady boner."<br /> "Miriam, go back inside! Layla, just stop and talk to me!"<br /> Miriam and I both answered Matthew in unison. <br /> I looked at her and shrugged. "Maybe you're not all bad."<br /> Without waiting for either of them to say anything else, I turned around and walked away, ignoring Matthew as he called my name. Eventually he stopped and I walked faster. I needed to get out of there before I cried. I wasn't about to cry backstage at a music festival. Someone would probably jump out and tit punch me as some anti-crying ritual.<br /> As I walked faster, I couldn't fight the way my eyes filled with tears. No matter how lackluster Matthew was, I'd devoted years of my life to him. I'd just wasted my vacation time on him, too. I thought sneaking out to meet him on the road would be fun and lend some much needed excitement to our relationship. Things hadn't been good...ever...but I'd hoped that we could at least get back to a place where I didn't dread seeing him at work every day.<br /> I wiped at my eyes and felt the mascara I'd coated my eyelashes with earlier. Stupid. I swore and stomped my way farther away from Matthew and the ugly end of our relationship. The image of his hip in the air while he happily ate Miriam Dark's hoo-hah like a pig in slop would forever be burned into my memory.<br /> I couldn't wait to get back home to my apartment and destroy everything of Matthew's that he'd left behind. I needed to update my social media. I didn't do much on it anymore, but I couldn't stand the idea of people thinking I was still with the loser. I'd have to call Grandma. That thought made me want to sob. She hated Matthew, but she liked that I wasn't alone in LA. Knowing I was single again was going to worry her. And if she told Jagger, my older brother, about me being single, Jagger would call and demand to know what'd happened. Then, he would try to fly out and kick Matthew's hip. It was just a mess.<br /> Growling out a frustrated sound, I looked down to make sure I stepped over a big mess of cords. I couldn't believe someone had left the stage like that. It was a hazard. Not to mention, it would be so easy to show if someone tripped over the wrong cord.<br /> I should've been paying attention because when the crowd's wild cheering broke through my self-pitying stupor, I looked up to see how close I'd gotten to the main stage. Unfortunately, a man with a guitar was coming off the stage, looking back at another man behind him. I was moving too fast to stop in time and he wasn't looking. It happened so fast that I didn't even make a sound as I smacked right into the man and felt pain before bouncing off his hard body and going down hard. Those tangled cords.<br /> I heard a deep voice growl above me, but I reached up to feel my forehead and felt something wet. I knew my eyes went as wide as softballs and when I pulled my fingers down and saw red, I groaned. Blood was my kryptonite. My vision darkened and I gagged on my way down.<br /> <br /> Mack<br /> "Well." By the time I realized what was happening, the curvy brunette was flat on the ground. I dropped to my knees next to her and swore when I saw the blood on her forehead. "This is a new form of falling for me."<br /> Xavier squatted on her other side and frowned. "Not really a great time for joking. You knocked her out."<br /> Jones sighed and ran his hands through his hair. "Where'd she come from? Also, maybe look where you're going from now on. You ran the poor thing over. Big time."<br /> I brushed her hair out of her face and had a completely ridiculous moment of feeling like I was staring down at Sleeping Beauty. She was gorgeous. I gently patted her soft cheek. "Ma'am? Hello?"<br /> "Great work. She's jumping right to life." Jones looked over his shoulder. "You've got about thirty seconds to get her on her feet and out of the way before the crowd beats back security and runs back here."<br /> I could hear the commotion he was hearing and ground my teeth. We'd just come off an amazing show. I had planned on going to a bar and getting hammered. Taking care of a Disney princess hadn't been in my plans, but it didn't look like I had an option. I couldn't just leave her on the ground and I didn't know any of the stage hands enough to trust them with an unconscious woman.<br /> "Fine." I stood up and lifted her body over my shoulder. Her head and arms hung limply and bounced off my hip, but I figured it was better for her than getting trampled to death. "Let's get her to our bus and get the medics to check her out. She'll be safe there until she can wake up and go."<br /> Xavier nodded once and charged ahead, clearing a path. He was a giant of a man and no one was dumb enough to stay in his way. They didn't understand what a gentle soul he was. I was thankful for that when they jumped out of our way, though. Especially with a crowd of rabid fans chasing after us.<br /> Jones barked at security to make sure no one followed us out into the artist lot and slammed the heavy metal door shut behind us. He swore and scowled at the door like it was the problem. "What do we even pay security for if they can't keep people away?"<br /> The woman over my shoulder groaned and grabbed my hips. I waited to see if she would say anything else, but she didn't. Her arms fell limp again and I released a breath at not having her scream and freak out while dangling over my shoulder.<br /> "I'll call the medic." Xavier hurried ahead to the bus.<br /> "This puts a damper on my plans." I sighed and glanced over at Jones. "We put on a good show and I was planning on drinking my face off to celebrate."<br /> "The medics are quick. We'll get her taken care of, apologize, and then send her on her way. With the medics, hopefully." He ran his eyes over the full hip over my shoulder. "Too bad you knocked her out before seeing if she wanted to drink with us."<br /> I laughed. "She sure is pretty. I doubt she'll be in a forgiving mood, though. I should've been looking at where I was going."<br /> "Why change now? Forget what I said earlier. We're in our forties. Let's not waste our time. Old dogs and new tricks, you know." He reached the bus before me and opened the door. "You put your guitar down."<br /> I winced. "I'll send a text to Shane as soon as I put her down."<br /> "I'll do it now. They're going to have to chase down whatever fan saw it and took it, probably. I highly doubt it's still sitting where you left it."<br /> I didn't want to think about my baby being in someone else's hands so instead, I focused on the woman in my arms. I climbed the steps and entered the bus, letting the cool AC wash over my overheated skin. The first space on the bus was a living room with four comfortable couches and I eased the unconscious woman down on one of them.<br /> Stretched out on the couch, her curves were even more noticeable. She was wearing tight black jeans and a low-cut top that was black and mostly straps and lace. I didn't get it, but I liked it. It was bad for me to notice her body, but the top curves of her breasts were spilling out of the shirt deliciously.<br /> I forced my eyes to her forehead and frowned. The cut was definitely from my baby. It looked like either a cord or a corner of my guitar had hit her just perfectly to leave a small cut. The skin around the cut didn't look too angry and overall, she looked okay. Besides being unconscious. I ran my hands under the back of her head and felt around to see if I found a lump from her hitting her head on the ground, but there was nothing.<br /> "The medics are tied up at another stage." Xavier growled in frustration and stared down at the woman. "Cut looks fine. Anything along the back of her head?"<br /> I shook my head. "No. She seems fine, honestly."<br /> "I don't like that she passed out." He sat down across from her and rested his elbows on his knees. "Go ahead and shower. I'll watch over her until you're back."<br /> Xavier, Jones, and I had served in the military together. We'd each done enough time to know how to take care of basic medical emergencies and several other things we'd never need in civilian life. It'd been a long time since any of us had to do first-aid in the field, but we could still hold our own.<br /> "Sure. I'll be fast." I winced. "I'm the one who plowed her over. I should be the one that has to explain it."<br /> I showered as fast as possible in the small bus bathroom but I still wasn't fast enough. By the time I shut the water off, I could already hear a husky female voice I didn't recognize ranting away. I wrapped a towel around myself and rushed out to apologize and get her to stop chewing out Jones and Xavier.<br /> What I found wasn't her chewing them out, though. She was pacing back and forth in front of where they sat on their own couches with her hands on her hips and fury on her face. She wasn't angry at us, though. Nope. It seemed another man had pissed in her cereal that morning.<br /> "This is just the cherry on the cake. Why not get a scar to memorialize the day I walked in on my boyfriend cheating on me? I'm so angry I could punch him in the manhood."<br /> I swear all three of us males cringed. I also had to rearrange my thinking. She was no Disney princess. She had spunk, to say the least.<br /> "She had the nerve to brag about his oral skills. Please. I literally have had better climaxs humping my hand. Either her needs are rock bottom, which is great for her if that's the case, or she was just lying to try to hurt me. I'm embarrassed, sure! It's not everyday you walk in on your boyfriend motorboating Miriam Dark's private part lips, but whatever. I'm just pissed. I came all the way here. I shaved. I put lotion on every inch of my body. Even the backs of my knees. Did I care that they're going to get sweaty faster now? Nope. I wanted to be smooth."<br /> I leaned against the doorway and let myself really look at her. She was taller than I'd thought and had legs that stretched on for miles. The black jeans hugged her full hip and hips in a way that made my mouth water. Her waist clipped in just enough that my hands would fit in the notch perfectly if I was taking her from behind. Her shirt made her full breasts look even more delicious while she was standing and I was at half-mast almost immediately.<br /> Her body, as stunning as it was, nearly touched on the beauty that was her face. Her big blue eyes were surrounded by dark eyelashes and her pouty mouth was stained red. She had dark brown hair down to her shoulders that curled wildly. If she hadn't been swearing, her creamy skin would've really made her look like a Disney princess. She could've probably gone down to Florida and got a job playing one of them right then. I'd never been attracted to a Disney princess before, though.<br /> "And you want to know the worst part? I work for the stupid prick. And no, before anyone has the jackass assumption that I'm sleeping my way into my position, I'm not. I'm better at his job than he is and I've been sticking around for even longer than I should've because he kept promising that he'd put in a good word with his boss for me. Because I deserve it. I do his work. I can't remember the last time he's had to do a single thing. At least he chose to sleep with Miriam himself. Although, I'm pretty sure I'd be better at that, too."<br /> Jones snorted and held up his hands when the little firecracker spun on him. "I'm not disagreeing with you, honey. I'm just enjoying hearing you eviscerate this manhoodhead."<br /> She stared at him and slowly her face darkened and she brought her hand up to cover her mouth. She looked absolutely distressed and I hated it.<br /> "What's wrong?" I made myself known and was rewarded with watching her eyes trail down my chest. The way her eyes got all bedroom heavy and she licked her lips turned that almost solid shaft into a full blown shaft. I had to shift to hide it from her curious eyes.<br /> She glanced back at Jones and then at Xavier. "Oh."<br /> Xavier stood up and inched towards her. "Are you okay? Your head... Is it hurting?"<br /> She looked up at him and I saw the way her body naturally swayed towards my giant of a best friend. Something about that made me want to hug her. Some women treated Xavier and his size like a threat and it hurt him. "Oh. I can't believe I didn't realize before now. You're JAX."<br /> Jones sighed and nodded. "Yep."<br /> She pushed her curls back from her face. "Don't worry. I'm not going to fangirl. I'm just mortified. I work for your record label and this is now the most unprofessional vacation I've ever taken. I have to go. Can you just forget you ever saw me?" | Libb002 | 48 | https://facebook.com/61551403614101 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | 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. | Lov002 | 57 | https://facebook.com/100092720766465 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Kayan<br /> I was betrayed by two people I trusted implicitly, my best friend and my fiancรฉ, or so i thought.<br /> Without saying a word, I bent down and picked up my phone. By this time Dimitri had donned his boxers and his slim fit navy dress pants. Mariana on the other hand was gripping the white sheet, trying to cover her body and was sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> Normally her tears would have stirred some sort of emotion but I felt absolutely nothing looking at her.<br /> Dimitri stepped towards me with his outstretched hand but I stepped back, and when I spoke my own voice surprised me.<br /> Two words, " How long?". I stared at both of them expectantly. Dimitri sighed and rubbed his face, looking at me with regret.<br /> When no response was forthcoming from him, I turned to Mariana and pinned her with a glare. " Shut up Mariana! I asked a question and I need an answer now!" I shouted.<br /> She pulled her knees to her chest as her body shook in fear, she had only seen me angry once so she knew not to taunt me. Dimitri on the other hand, was stunned.<br /> She looked at me and stuttered in fear " S....si...six months", and hung her head low. I absorbed her reply, laughed hysterically, which caught both of them by surprise. They looked at each other shrugging their shoulders and just as I started laughing suddenly, I stopped abruptly.<br /> "Six months you say? I guess this is the part where you'll say it was a mistake, you never meant to hurt me and you're both sorry right?." I spoke calmly, surprising myself.<br /> Dimitri was first to speak " Kay, please I'm so sorry. We were both tipsy after your work anniversary party,and after I dropped her off, everything went to terrible. I'm so sorry baby but..." I laughed again, cutting him off mid sentence.<br /> I held my hand up then turned to Mariana" What about you bimbo, any last words?" Her eyes bulged in fear and I watched her squirm in fear. She knew I could put a bullet between her eyes even with my eyes closed , thanks to my Dad taking me to the pistol range every Saturday for 2 years.<br /> She sprung to her knees, the sheet fell exposing her and I saw all the hickeys along her neck and on her breasts. "Kay please, let's talk about this. I'm so sorry and I regret this. I'm so sorry for hurting you like this, it wasn't planned."<br /> The nerve of this woman, I thought. I should have listened to my gut all those months ago. She kept thwarting our plans, started traveling a lot and would barely take my video calls then. And she kept changing or bashing my wedding plans and like a fool, I brushed it aside.<br /> Dimitri was the same, one business trip after another, late nights and then he was distant. When I asked him about it, he promised to do better than what he did, but there was a subtle change. We no longer have sleep.<br /> Both of them looked at me expectantly, waiting for the weak, docile Kayan to shed tears and assure them everything would be okay.<br /> I dropped my phone into my bag, grabbed my pistol and clicked the safety off. I swiftly fired two rounds which were followed by agonizing screams. I shot Dimitri in his thigh just inches from his shaft while Mariana got hers in her right shoulder. Just enough to cause pain but not be fatal.<br /> I walked out the room but turned to them saying " That's for the betrayal, I never want to see or hear from either of you again. The next time you won't be so lucky."<br /> I descended the stairs shakily, I touched my face checking for tears but there were none. My chest was convulsing but I refused to give in to the pain I was feeling.<br /> As I got to the last step, I looked around, marched over to the fireplace and threw all photos she had of us together into it. I lifted the stoker, broke her 60" Samsung TV and everything went red from thereon. I trashed her apartment then walked out as if nothing happened.<br /> I grabbed my baseball bat from my trunk, smashed all her windows and doors. Just as I about to leave, I saw Dimitri's Silver Range Rover across the street.<br /> How didn't I notice it before?<br /> I walked up to it and repeated my actions. When I was satisfied, I hopped into my van and drove away.<br /> ---- <br /> Dimitri<br /> I couldn't believe Kayan shot us and simply walked away. I had known her for over 6 years but I never encountered this side of her. I knew I deserved that, worst of all, I ruined the one good thing I had done.<br /> I was thinking with my shaft and not my brain, because in assessing the current situation, Mariana was just a good woman. There is attraction, but the feelings I have for Kayan are deeper.<br /> Her sobs reverberated around the bedroom , bringing me back to the current situation.<br /> When Kayan left the room, I heard her trashing Mariana's apartment downstairs and was about to go after her.<br /> Mariana's words stopped me dead in my tracks, "Leave her be, Dimitri, she will kill you! She needs to calm down first before we approach her." I turned to her slowly, trying to ignore the pain and blood gushing from my wound.<br /> "What do you mean Mari? I'm going after her! There is no us. This was a mistake. I need to talk to her!" I ran my hands over my face then slid my belt around my leg making a tourniquet.<br /> She slid off the bed, gripping the sheet with her uninjured shoulder. " Take it from me, we're lucky to be alive! You have never seen her upset or know what she's capable of in this state but I do!" She tiptoed to the door listening for any further sound from downstairs, but was greeted with silence.<br /> Mariana sat on the stairs shaking and crying while gripping her disheveled hair.<br /> The front door was ajar, I moved to lock it but the sight of Mariana's car took my breath away. I looked across the street to mine and it looked even worst.<br /> I shook my head, sighed and turned too quickly, causing a searing pain in the bullet wound.<br /> I called my driver Michael and told him to be quick and discreet.<br /> Mariana got dressed in the meantime while we waited with bated breaths.<br /> Michael arrived in about 10 minutes, his eyes expressed shock but he knew better than to ask any questions.<br /> He drove us to Wyckoff Medical, the only place I knew would be discreet about what happened.<br /> Using the back entrance, we were quickly ushered into separate rooms for assessment.<br /> As I laid on the bed, I felt Dr. Green prodding my wound for the bullet. He's been our family physician since I was a child, so when he asked who I pissed off this time , I sighed and ignored him.<br /> All I could think about was Kayan, she was my everything!<br /> Not anymore you prick, you screwed up and you're lucky to be alive, I shook my head, trying to shake guilt ridden thoughts from my subconscious.<br /> I reminisced on all the times we spent together, the plans we made for our future and our kids. I reflected on how she supported me even when my own father doubted me. She never gave up on me. You shut up Dimitri!<br /> Dr. Green waved his hand above my eyes while calling my name. " Did you hear anything I said just now?" he asked quietly.<br /> I sighed " No, what is it?". My tone was clipped but right now I didn't care, I could apologize later.<br /> He rolled his eyes before continuing "I said there's a detective waiting outside to talk to you, you know it's my duty to report this." He grabbed a scissors and cut the thread, signaling that he had finished stitching my wound.<br /> "You'll live, but stay off your feet for a few days, and use a crutch if you have to move around." Dr. Green bandaged my leg and was about to leave when I stopped him.<br /> "Wait, I apologize for my behavior Doc. Where's the young lady who came in with me? I need to see her now." He looked at me sadly, shook his head and left the room without a word.<br /> My guess is he figured out why Kayan hadn't rushed into the hospital demanding answers. The realization hit me of how I not only disappointed Kayan but everyone close to me, especially my parents. <br /> I must have dosed off from the pain medication I had gotten as I was woken up by Mariana gently shaking my shoulder and calling my name.<br /> Blinking my eyes to adjust to the bright lights, I grabbed the remote and adjusted my bed. Mariana looked terrible, her hair was unkempt and her eyes were swollen. Her right arm was bandaged and now in a sling.<br /> She sat in the chair beside the bed and hung her head low. " I spoke to the police, I told them we were mugged at the apartment as we were trying to finalize wedding arrangements." It was barely a whisper, but I sighed in relief.<br /> "We messed up but I agree, I'll tell them the same thing. Kayan doesn't deserve this." My throat felt hoarse so I reached for a tumbler with water, poured a cup and took several sips.<br /> " I told you we needed to stop Dimitri but you insisted on coming over!" I pinned her with a glare which caused her to shut up immediately.<br /> The nerve of this woman! I laughed coldly before turning to her " Oh so now it's my fault Mar? Surely you weren't complaining when I rammed your wet dripping private part with my shaft right? You never said stop! Anything else I'm forgetting?" My chest was heaving by the time I finished ranting.<br /> I was about to continue but her sobs erupted. She looked at me lost, guilt etched across her face before she stood to leave.<br /> "Look Mar, I'm sorry okay. I just don't know what to do." I held her wrist, my thumb caressing the inside of her hand in a comforting way. "How did she get in though?"<br /> Mariana was trembling as tears streamed down her face. She took a deep breath before she spoke. "I forgot she had a key from over a year ago. She would always check the place when I traveled for a convention or went to see my family."<br /> My mouth opened to speak but no words were forthcoming and they never came as the door banged open, slamming into the wall denting it.<br /> Jumping with fright, we turned to see my very pissed off father and my distraught mother. Before I could utter a word, he spoke," You, get out now and don't let me see your face again!" Mariana jumped in fear and ran from the room sobbing before I could stop her.<br /> "Dad i can explain...." He slammed his hand onto the small table, knocking the tumbler over.<br /> My mom grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down but he flicked her hand away and grabbed my hospital gown roughly, "Explain what exactly Dimitri? How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> "I'm going to fix this Dad, just give me a chance please." I turned towards my mom seeking support but she turned her head away from me. " Mom, please I'm sorry, I'll fix this. I'm gonna make everything right."<br /> My Dad simply scoffed at my words, took my Mom's hands and walked out the door.<br /> The only sound that filled the room was that of the water droplets bouncing on the floor.<br /> ---- <br /> Mariana<br /> I have never been more regretful in my entire life. My head was throbbing non stop, my eyes were puffy from all the tears I'd shed in the past 24 hours. My mind replayed the events and all I could think of, was that I should be dead by Kayan's hands.<br /> My driver dropped me off to the apartment, and as I stepped inside I once again surveyed the damage. Nothing was left untouched, I had to start over but I guess that's the price to pay for stabbing your best friend in the back for six months.<br /> I wanted to stop so many times, I knew it was wrong but Dimitri was like a spirit I couldn't get enough of.<br /> We decided to take the secret to our graves and everything was going great until I saw him a week later at Danny's Cafe. We sat and talked for a while but after an hour when we attempted to leave, the sexual tension was just too much to ignore.<br /> From thereon, we used our lunch breaks and any free time we could muster to screw each other senseless. After each encounter, we'd say it was the last time , but that never happened as soon after I took trips when he did or he came to my apartment before going home.<br /> All this time, I gave Kayan a million excuses as to why we couldn't meet up, continued planning her wedding virtually and offered excuses when she whined about Dimitri being overly consumed by work.<br /> I even ended things with my own boyfriend as our relationship became strained and miserable because of my infidelity.<br /> Now this is the endgame, I lost my best friend who always stood by me and I'm pretty sure Dimitri and I have no future.<br /> Sitting on the stairs, I decided to take a leap of faith and call Kayan. If I could just get her to listen to me for a second, I would tell her how sorry I am and try to fix things.<br /> As I dialed her number, it went directly to voice-mail, and after trying a few more times unsuccessfully, I decided to go see her. I ordered an Uber, waiting outside for a few minutes before the car pulled up.<br /> I got in, gave the driver her address and stared blankly out the window. The only sounds were that of the music playing in the dashboard.<br /> Ten minutes later, I was standing on the curb outside Kayan's townhouse. Hesitantly, I opened the gate, trudged up the steps and rang the bell. I was there waiting for a few minutes, I called her but there was no response.<br /> I walked to the garden by the lamp post where she always hid a spare key. It was gone.<br /> Just as I was about to step from the yard, I was stopped in my tracks by a faint voice. My hopes increased but when I turned around expecting Kayan, no one was there.<br /> What was that then, I thought to myself.<br /> I reopened the Uber app, placed my request and waited by the curb.<br /> "She's not here you know." I was startled by the voice and was relieved to see her neighbor Michael.<br /> "What do you mean? Where is she?" I asked hurriedly.<br /> He eyed me suspiciously before replying,<br /> "Seeing you here looking like poop tells me you had a role in Kay's sudden departure 2 hours ago." His words were true yet hurtful, I castedmy eyes down in shame.<br /> "You don't know, Mike, just tell me where she went, I need to talk to her before it's too late" I begged him.<br /> The prick was nonchalant as he leant against her gate typing away on his phone. After getting a ping, indicating a message, he looked up at me smirking.<br /> "Well if you must know, my girl left for England indefinitely..." he paused, struggling to hold back a snicker, "...Oh and she says you should go yourself or Dimatro, whatever the pretty boy's name is." Michael was now clutching his side laughing hysterically while I sighed in defeat.<br /> She's gone! And now there's no way I will find her because I can't go to her family and I'm pretty sure she's already changed her number!<br /> I didn't warrant Michael a response since the Uber pulled up, I hopped in and left.<br /> My phone began vibrating in my pocket and I grabbed it quickly, just hoping it would be Kayan. I was disappointed as Dimitri's name flashed on the screen.<br /> "What do you want Dimitri? Haven't we done enough, didn't you hear what your father said?" I shouted angrily, catching sight of the driver's raised brows in the rear view mirror.<br /> "Calm down Mari, I wanted to apologize for my Dad. I'm getting discharged now so I'm heading home, I need to sort things out with Kay." Though I had wanted the same thing minutes ago, I couldn't help the pang of jealousy that gripped me.<br /> Before I could stop myself I snarled in response<br /> "Thanks for asking how I'm doing you prick! Oh and don't bother going there because she's gone!"<br /> "What are you talking about Mari! This is not the time to joke with me..." I'd had enough of his nonsense so I cut him mid sentence " Kay's gone Dimitri, I just left the house, she's not home and her neighbor says she left for England." The other end of the line was silent.<br /> I looked at the screen to see if the call had been disconnected but the line was still open.<br /> "Dimitri?" He sighed in response and I heard him grunt in pain, perhaps moving too quickly on his injured leg.<br /> "I'm here Mari. How will I fix things if I don't know where to find her? Of all the places, she had to chose England!? Couldn't she have just gone to her parents? What am I going to do now?"<br /> I wanted to speak but my throat felt as if it was clogged.<br /> I cut the call, switched to airplane mode and rested my head against the window as fresh salty tears rolled down my cheeks.<br /> I lost everything.<br /> My best friend. Dimitri . And a family who accepted me without judgement and showed me nothing but love all these years. | Wha002 | 29 | https://facebook.com/61554783541379 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

"<br /> "Elliot, what's going on?" I look at him, then at her, and back at him.<br /> He quickly stands up from his seat. "She was just leaving. Weren't you, Clara?<br /> She bats her eyelashes rapidly. "Honey, I think it's time for her to learn the truth. Don't you agree?"<br /> Clara laughs, looking at me. "I'm the woman who slept with him yesterday and the days before."<br /> "Taylor, please let me explain." He has the nerve to plead with me, after what he did.<br /> No. I won't stay here and listen as he tries to find an excuse for what he did. <br /> "Taylor, please. I want to talk to you." He tries again.<br /> "There's nothing to talk about" I snap at him.<br /> <br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> <br /> I take the stairs to go to my apartment. Iโm so lost in my thoughts, that I donโt pay any attention to my surroundings.<br /> "Watch it!โ Someone warns me.<br /> I look up, and a man that I have never seen before is standing right in front of me. He has dark hair cut in a military style and deep blue eyes. I see tattoos on his neck that seem to go all the way down to his torso. I canโt help, but think how handsome he is. I take a step back to put some distance between us.<br /> He must be my new neighbour.<br /> I smile as I present my hand to him. โHello, my name is Taylor Walker. Whatโs yourโs?โ<br /> He glares at me as if Iโm already a nuisance to him. โAnnoyed.โ He let out as he walks past me.<br /> Rude! I say to myself before I keep walking up the stairs.<br /> I unlock the door with my keys and look through my mail. โBills. Bills. Bills.โ I mumble to myself.<br /> I will deal with them later. Right now, all I want is to take a cup of coffee before I put myself pretty for my date with Elliot.<br /> I donโt smoke or drink. My only dope is coffee. I need at least four cups per day, and thatโs when I have a good day.<br /> As I make a cup of coffee for myself, I take a disposable cup to make another one. I donโt know why I even bother with this. So why am I purring a second cup for a man I donโt even know, is beyond me.<br /> Okay, Iโll admit. I didnโt like our first encounter.<br /> I wonder if he takes sugar or milk. He seems like a man that likes his coffee black.<br /> I bite my lips nervously as I pass my threshold.<br /> Why am I doing this again? I ask myself on the way to his apartment.<br /> I know where he leaves. Heโs my next-door neighbour.<br /> I clear my throat as I knock on his door.<br /> No response.<br /> I knock again.<br /> โWhat the freak do you want?โ He snaps at me while he opens his door.<br /> My heart skips a beat. Maybe itโs because of his deep blue eyes that they keep staring at me as if they want to devour my soul or something.<br /> I smile so he wonโt notice how nervous he makes me. โUhmm, I wanted to properly welcome you to the building.โ I give him the cup of coffee that I made for him.<br /> He takes a drag at his cigar, looking at my body all the way up to my eyes. โAre you here, because you want to freak?โ<br /> My jaw drops on the floor. โWhat? No!โ I nearly scream at him.<br /> He chuckles, seeing my reaction. โThatโs what I thought.โ He starts to close the door.<br /> โWait, you could at least tell me your name.โ I wonโt back down, even if his words made me uncountable. I put my hand in my chest to give a little drama. โDonโt tell me that a man at your size is scared by a little woman like myself.โ Itโs my turn to tease him.<br /> Iโm five foot tall, and heโs like six. Heโs a mountain man.<br /> He takes the cup from my hand. โIโm not scared. Thank you for the coffee, buttercup.โ He then closes the door in my face.<br /> Argh!<br /> You donโt get to take my coffee and not answer my question.<br /> I knock on his door harder this time.<br /> โLeave me the freak alone!โ He says, glaring at me.<br /> I shake my head stubbornly. โNot until you tell me your name. Itโs rude otherwise.โ<br /> โYou wonโt leave me the freak alone, is that it?โ He let out a growl. โOwen Blake. Now Piss off!โ Once again he closes the door in my face.<br /> I smirk as I walk back to my place.<br /> I look at the time. โFreak! Iโm going to be late for my date with Elliot. I have to hurry to get ready.โ<br /> I drink my coffee in a hurry and run inside the bathroom to take a shower.<br /> Elliot and I have been together for over a year now. He wants me to move in with him, but I donโt want to. I love my independence and my apartment to give them up.<br /> I brush my teeth after my shower as a towel covers my body.<br /> As I look inside my closet, I wonder what Iโm going to wear. I think Iโm going to go with my green cocktail dress and some black heels. I decided to put light makeup on myself.<br /> I run, hearing my cell phone inside the kitchen. โHello.โ<br /> โHey, baby,โ Elliot says over the phone. โIโm sorry, but I have to reschedule our date. I have an emergency at work that I canโt get out of.โ<br /> I sigh. Itโs not the first time that this has happened.<br /> โI can always come over tomorrow.โ He suggests.<br /> โSure.โ<br /> โI am sorry, but I truly have to go now. See you tomorrow.โ He hung up before I have the chance to say goodbye to him.<br /> I just got dressed for nothing.<br /> I need some air.<br /> I grab my jacket to go upstairs to the rooftop. I love to go there and think.<br /> As I arrive, I stare up at the sky. A full moon is out tonight.<br /> I hear a noise and when I look to where it was coming from, I jump as I see a shadow not far from me.<br /> โRelax, buttercup. Itโs just me.โ He smirks, seeing my reaction.<br /> I put my hand on my chest while my heart beat fast. โGod, Owen. Warn someone before you give them a heart attack.โ<br /> He takes a drag from his cigar, as he keeps staring at me.<br /> Will he stop doing that?<br /> โYou know, one of these days, this will kill you.โ I point at what he has in between his fingers.<br /> He exhales the smoke from his lungs while his eyes try to pierce my soul.<br /> I feel nervous under his stare, but at the same time, I feel drawn to them.<br /> โWho cares how I would die. Eventually, everyone will meet their fate. Not that I care, but where are you going dressing up like that?โ<br /> I look down on myself. โI was supposed to go out on a date with my boyfriend. He cancelled at the last minute. He has an emergency at work.โ<br /> Owen licks his lips. โMaybe heโs screwing with someone as we speak.โ<br /> I cross my arms in front of me, feeling annoyed by him. โWhy are you so mean to me? I never did something to deserve this. Besides, I trust him. He would never do something like that to me.โ<br /> I take a few steps to leave but stop at the last minute. โAll I did was try to be nice to you, and thatโs what I get.โ<br /> He frowns his eyebrows. โI never asked you freak. Itโs not my problem if you canโt handle the truth.โ<br /> โUgh, Iโm leaving,โ I say as I step further away from him.<br /> โGood riddance.โ He says loud enough for me to hear him.<br /> Owenโs words start to hunt me more than they should. I trust Elliot. Heโs a good man. Iโm sure all he wanted was a reaction from me, and he succeeded.<br /> Thatโs all and nothing else.<br /> I trust Elliot. I say one more time.<br /> <br /> I look around my apartment, and Iโm satisfied with the cleaning. Iโm not a clean freak. I just love my apartment to be spotless. While I cleaned my apartment, it distracted me from what happened yesterday.<br /> <br /> Owenโs words still bother me.<br /> <br /> โ<br /> Maybe heโs screwing with someone as we speak.โ<br /> <br /> Ugh! Why did he have to say this?<br /> <br /> I know it isnโt true. I trust Elliot. When we spend time together, he never gives me the impression that heโs cheating. Heโs always a sweetheart.<br /> <br /> Iโm so lost in my thoughts that when the doorโs bell ring, I jump a little.<br /> <br /> โIt must be Elliot,โ I say to myself as I go to answer the door.<br /> <br /> โHey, baby.โ Elliot smiles at me, holding a huge bouquet of red roses in his hands.<br /> <br /> Like I said, a sweetheart.<br /> <br /> I love roses. I think they are pretty, but they arenโt my favourite kind. The flower that I love the most is called sakura in Japanese. Which means cherry blossom.<br /> <br /> โAre those for me?โ I ask him.<br /> <br /> He smirks. โWhy of course. Only the best for my girlfriend.โ<br /> <br /> โWhat did I do to deserve such a gift?โ I play along.<br /> <br /> โDo I need a reason to spoil you?โ He wonders in a playful tone. โI saw them, and I thought of you.โ<br /> <br /> Out of nowhere, someone chuckles behind Elliot. As my boyfriend moves to the side, I see Owen ready to go inside his apartment while he has an arm around a womanโs waist.<br /> <br /> Off course.<br /> <br /> โ<br /> Are you here, because you want to freak?โ<br /> I remember Owen saying those words to me.<br /> <br /> Stop thinking about this, or youโre going to blush in front of him, and FYI you arenโt interested in him. You have a boyfriend so you can forget it. I scold myself.<br /> <br /> โSo this is the boyfriend.โ Owen looks at the flower in Elliotโs hands. Thatโs what I thought.โ He laughs, guiding his guest inside his apartment.<br /> <br /> What did he mean by thatโs what I thought?<br /> <br /> Is he referring to his words from last night?<br /> <br /> Why do I even bother racking my brain over this?<br /> <br /> Owen isnโt worth my time if he's acting like a jerk.<br /> <br /> Elliot clears his throat once we are inside my place. โSo, who was that?โ<br /> <br /> I take the bouquet from his hands. โOwen Blake, my new neighbour.โ<br /> <br /> He nods his head, but he doesnโt seem happy. โWhat did he mean by that what I thought? Did you speak to him?โ<br /> <br /> I open a kitchen cabinet to grab the vase. โHeโs my new neighbour. I couldnโt ignore him.โ<br /> <br /> Even if heโs an hip.<br /> <br /> โSo.โ He rubs his chin with his fingers. โWhat did he mean when he said thatโs what I thought?โ He repeats the question.<br /> <br /> I bite my lips nervously. I donโt know how he will react if I tell him, but I canโt lie to him. That wonโt be fair. Besides, I donโt have anything to hide.<br /> <br /> I pour some water inside the vase. โI told him that you were working late last night, and he said that it was because you were cheating on me. โ<br /> <br /> He frowns. โDid you believe him?โ<br /> <br /> I shake my head. โOf course not. I know you will never do such a thing to me.โ<br /> <br /> He let out a sight. โI donโt like this.โ<br /> <br /> I turn my head to look at him. โYou donโt like what?โ<br /> <br /> He folds his arms in front of him. โHim. He seems dangerous. You should stay clear of him. Better yet, come live with me permanently.โ<br /> <br /> Not this again!<br /> <br /> We already talked about this. He knows exactly where I stand on that matter. How should I put this in words so I wonโt upset his feelings? He barely stepped inside my apartment, and we are already talking about this.<br /> <br /> Yes, we argue sometimes. We are a couple. Everyone argues sometimes.<br /> <br /> I cut the edges of the roses before I put them in the vase. โ We talked about this. Iโm not going to move in with you, just because you dislike my neighbour. Iโm a big girl, I can take care of myself.โ<br /> <br /> Freak!<br /> <br /> Was I too harsh?<br /> <br /> Elliot inhales sharply, nodding his head.<br /> <br /> I know heโs not happy with my answer, but itโs the truth. Iโm not saying. Iโm saying not right now.<br /> <br /> Maybe itโs time to change the subject?<br /> <br /> Before I have the chance to do any of that, I feel Elliotโs arms circling my waist from behind. โIโm sorry, okay? I donโt come here to argue with you.<br /> <br /> Itโs like he read my mind.<br /> <br /> I turn around to bring my arms around his neck. โSo, how was work yesterday?โ<br /> <br /> Elliot makes a face, looking at me. โI donโt want to talk about work when Iโm with you.โ<br /> <br /> Itโs not the answer that I was looking for. I canโt blame him as I didnโt give him the answer that he wanted. So I will put this matter to the side and concentrate on my boyfriend.<br /> <br /> I smile at him. โAnd do tell me, what do you have in mind?โ<br /> <br /> Elliot smirks before he pecks my lips. โTrust me, baby, I have an idea, but first I want us to go out, and then later at my place, I will show you what I have in mind.โ<br /> <br /> Yesterday, I took the time to make myself pretty for our date that didnโt even happen. If he wants to take me out, he will have to take me with what Iโm wearing.<br /> <br /> I move away from him to go grab my purse and my jacket.<br /> <br /> โAre you going to change first?โ He wonders, looking at my body.<br /> <br /> I put my hand on my waist. โAre you saying that what Iโm wearing isnโt good enough for you?<br /> <br /> โNo.โ Heโs quick to say. โIt's just that I love seeing you in a cute little dress.โ<br /> <br /> I cross my arms in front of me. โIf you havenโt ditched me yesterday, you would have seen me into one.โ<br /> <br /> โIt wasnโt my fault. I had an emergency, and you know it.โ His words raise a little as he speaks.<br /> <br /> Thatโs exactly what I wanted to avoid us arguing.<br /> <br /> I go to him and peck him on the cheek. โIโm sorry, okay. I donโt know why I said that. I know it was out of hand on my part. Can we go now?โ<br /> <br /> He leaves a peck on my forehead. โIโm sorry too.โ<br /> <br /> Elliot takes my hand in his to guide us out of my place. I guess he doesnโt want to argue either.<br /> <br /> As we walk, a noise that comes from Owenโs apartment makes me freeze on the spot.<br /> <br /> โYes! Yes! Blake, yes!โ<br /> <br /> I bite my lips. I never screamed this way when Iโm intimate with Elliot. Am I missing something? Iโm not saying that our drill life is boring, Iโve never been so loud.<br /> <br /> Is it me, or does Elliot make us walk faster than necessary?<br /> <br /> I look around after the hostess of the restaurant shows us our table. As I look around, I notice that everyone is wearing nice clothes. We are definitely in a luxury fashion restaurant.<br /> <br /> I should have probably listened to Elliot and worn something nicer.<br /> <br /> Did he do it on purpose?<br /> <br /> No, Iโm sure he didnโt. I donโt even know why it crossed my mind.<br /> <br /> As I sit on the chair, I notice that the woman whoโs sitting to my right is judging me for the way sheโs looking at me. Maybe it has something to do with what Iโm wearing. I feel undressed. Is it as if everyoneโs judging me? I clear my throat, looking at the menu instead.<br /> <br /> Elliot didnโt notice anything. Heโs on the phone with someone from his work. I donโt mind. Iโm used to it by now.<br /> <br /> โNo. No, this isnโt a good idea.โ Elliot frowns as he speaks. He doesnโt seem happy. โWe will deal with this tomorrow.โ He hung up right after.<br /> <br /> I look at him with concern. โIs everything ok?โ<br /> <br /> โMmhmm.โ He mumbles.<br /> <br /> I wonโt push on the matter. If he wants to talk about it, he will.<br /> <br /> A young woman around my age stands beside us. โHello, my name is Lucy. I will be your waitress for tonight. Are you ready to order?โ She asks with a smile on her lips.<br /> <br /> I look through the menu, and even though everything seems delicious. I decided to go with something light. โA Caesar salad for me.โ<br /> <br /> She nods her head, writing it on her pad. โAnything to drink?โ<br /> <br /> I shake my head. โNo. Just water, please.โ<br /> <br /> Lucy turns her intention to my boyfriend. โAnd you, sir?โ<br /> <br /> โIโm going to go with the lamb shanks and a bottle of your finest beverage.โ He closes the menu and gives it to her.<br /> <br /> I let out a sigh. Itโs not that Iโm bothered that he has money, but he doesnโt have to show it every time we go out. He would have brought me to a food truck for our date, and I would still enjoy myself. I donโt need much. Just spending time with him would be enough for me.<br /> <br /> Elliot takes my hand once Lucy leaves with our order. โSo, what did you do today?โ<br /> <br /> I give him a smirk. โI donโt want to talk about work. Wasnโt what you wanted?โ<br /> <br /> He let out a chuckle. โI guess I deserve that.โ<br /> <br /> I look to my right, and the woman from earlier once again is staring at me. The guy thatโs with her is trying to get her intentions, but he falls miserably.<br /> <br /> Poor guy.<br /> <br /> As Elliot looks at the same woman, I notice his expression change for only a second.<br /> <br /> Iโm about to ask him whatโs up with that when Iโm distracted by Lucy as she brings our meals.<br /> <br /> I get up from my seat. โIf youโll excuse me, Iโm going to powder my nose.โ<br /> <br /> Elliot takes my hand to leave a peck on my skin. โOk.โ<br /> <br /> Iโm not going to powder my nose. It was better to say this than say Iโm going to the toilet to do the number one. I have manners.<br /> <br /> Once Iโm finished, I look at my reflection in the mirror. The thing I love the most about me is my hair. At first, you think they are black, but when the light hits them, the brown shines through them.<br /> <br /> As I walk back to my table, I stop on my track. I see the woman from earlier sitting in my seat while she talks with Elliot. He doesnโt seem happy with her presence.<br /> <br /> Whatโs wrong with this picture? I wonder.<br /> <br /> When Elliot sees me approaching them, I see the panic in his eyes.<br /> <br /> Owenโs words from last night replay in my head.<br /> โ<br /> Maybe heโs screwing with someone as we speak.โ<br /> <br /> Am I gullible to think that Elliot isnโt cheating on me? I have to get to the bottom of this before I make any accusations. I could be wrong here. It can be nothing.<br /> <br /> โElliot, whatโs going on?โ I look at him, then at her, and back at him.<br /> <br /> He quickly stands up from his seat. โShe was just leaving. Werenโt you, Clara?<br /> <br /> She bats her eyelashes rapidly. โHoney, I think itโs time for her to learn the truth. Donโt you agree?โ<br /> <br /> I cross my arms in front of me. โAnd who exactly are you?โ<br /> <br /> I suspect whatโs going on.<br /> <br /> Clara laughs, looking at me. โIโm the woman who slept with him yesterday and the days before.โ<br /> <br /> I canโt believe this. He told me that he wasnโt cheating.<br /> <br /> I look around, and everyone is staring at us.<br /> <br /> I canโt believe what is happening.<br /> <br /> โTaylor.โ I hear Elliot says my name.<br /> <br /> I ignore him completely. I go grab my coat and purse to get out of here. On the way out I call a uber company to come and pick me up.<br /> <br /> Once Iโm outside, waiting. Someone grabs my hand, and I know who that is. Iโm quick to remove my hand from his hold.<br /> <br /> โTaylor, please let me explain.โ He has the nerve to plead with me, after what he did.<br /> <br /> No. I wonโt stay here and listen as he tries to find an excuse for what he did. I ignore him completely as I look ahead me.<br /> <br /> โTaylor, please. I want to talk to you.โ He tries again.<br /> <br /> โThereโs nothing to talk aboutโ I snap at him.<br /> <br /> โElliot, there you are.โ Clara joins us outside. โNow that she knows, we can finally be together.โ<br /> <br /> Donโt cry. I say to myself. Not here, and certainly not in front of her.<br /> <br /> He turns to look at her to ask her to leave. An argument between them starts, and thankfully, I see the uber appear on the road.<br /> <br /> Neither of them notices that I get in the uber.<br /> <br /> All I want is to go home. A tear falls down my cheek as I try to keep it at bay. The driver doesnโt seem to be effective in my situation. Iโm sure in his line of work he saw this a lot of times.<br /> <br /> I stand in front of my door with the keys in my hand. I donโt want to go in. Something tells me that Elliot is on his way to talk to me. I donโt want to see him.<br /> <br /> A stupid idea coss my mind.<br /> <br /> Iโm sure that Iโm going to regret this, but for now, itโs my best option. Elliot will never think to search for me there.<br /> <br /> I walk until Iโm in front of Owenโs door and knock on it.<br /> <br /> Freak! Maybe the girl that he was with is still with him.<br /> <br /> Iโm about to turn around as I change my mind when his door opens.<br /> <br /> He frowns at me. โItโs you again.โ<br /> <br /> โIโm sorry to bother you.โ I feel shy under his stare.<br /> <br /> I donโt know why Iโm standing here. I donโt even know the guy. I swallow my pride. โCan I come in, please? I argued with Eliott, and Iโm not ready to face him yet.โ<br /> <br /> To my surprise, he opens his door wider, just enough for me to enter his place. | Red111 | 15 | https://facebook.com/61554959872521 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

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. 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.

How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Kayan<br /> I was betrayed by two people I trusted implicitly, my best friend and my fiancรฉ, or so i thought.<br /> Without saying a word, I bent down and picked up my phone. By this time Dimitri had donned his boxers and his slim fit navy dress pants. Mariana on the other hand was gripping the white sheet, trying to cover her body and was sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> Normally her tears would have stirred some sort of emotion but I felt absolutely nothing looking at her.<br /> Dimitri stepped towards me with his outstretched hand but I stepped back, and when I spoke my own voice surprised me.<br /> Two words, " How long?". I stared at both of them expectantly. Dimitri sighed and rubbed his face, looking at me with regret.<br /> When no response was forthcoming from him, I turned to Mariana and pinned her with a glare. " Shut up Mariana! I asked a question and I need an answer now!" I shouted.<br /> She pulled her knees to her chest as her body shook in fear, she had only seen me angry once so she knew not to taunt me. Dimitri on the other hand, was stunned.<br /> She looked at me and stuttered in fear " S....si...six months", and hung her head low. I absorbed her reply, laughed hysterically, which caught both of them by surprise. They looked at each other shrugging their shoulders and just as I started laughing suddenly, I stopped abruptly.<br /> "Six months you say? I guess this is the part where you'll say it was a mistake, you never meant to hurt me and you're both sorry right?." I spoke calmly, surprising myself.<br /> Dimitri was first to speak " Kay, please I'm so sorry. We were both tipsy after your work anniversary party,and after I dropped her off, everything went to terrible. I'm so sorry baby but..." I laughed again, cutting him off mid sentence.<br /> I held my hand up then turned to Mariana" What about you bimbo, any last words?" Her eyes bulged in fear and I watched her squirm in fear. She knew I could put a bullet between her eyes even with my eyes closed , thanks to my Dad taking me to the pistol range every Saturday for 2 years.<br /> She sprung to her knees, the sheet fell exposing her and I saw all the hickeys along her neck and on her breasts. "Kay please, let's talk about this. I'm so sorry and I regret this. I'm so sorry for hurting you like this, it wasn't planned."<br /> The nerve of this woman, I thought. I should have listened to my gut all those months ago. She kept thwarting our plans, started traveling a lot and would barely take my video calls then. And she kept changing or bashing my wedding plans and like a fool, I brushed it aside.<br /> Dimitri was the same, one business trip after another, late nights and then he was distant. When I asked him about it, he promised to do better than what he did, but there was a subtle change. We no longer have sleep.<br /> Both of them looked at me expectantly, waiting for the weak, docile Kayan to shed tears and assure them everything would be okay.<br /> I dropped my phone into my bag, grabbed my pistol and clicked the safety off. I swiftly fired two rounds which were followed by agonizing screams. I shot Dimitri in his thigh just inches from his shaft while Mariana got hers in her right shoulder. Just enough to cause pain but not be fatal.<br /> I walked out the room but turned to them saying " That's for the betrayal, I never want to see or hear from either of you again. The next time you won't be so lucky."<br /> I descended the stairs shakily, I touched my face checking for tears but there were none. My chest was convulsing but I refused to give in to the pain I was feeling.<br /> As I got to the last step, I looked around, marched over to the fireplace and threw all photos she had of us together into it. I lifted the stoker, broke her 60" Samsung TV and everything went red from thereon. I trashed her apartment then walked out as if nothing happened.<br /> I grabbed my baseball bat from my trunk, smashed all her windows and doors. Just as I about to leave, I saw Dimitri's Silver Range Rover across the street.<br /> How didn't I notice it before?<br /> I walked up to it and repeated my actions. When I was satisfied, I hopped into my van and drove away.<br /> ---- <br /> Dimitri<br /> I couldn't believe Kayan shot us and simply walked away. I had known her for over 6 years but I never encountered this side of her. I knew I deserved that, worst of all, I ruined the one good thing I had done.<br /> I was thinking with my shaft and not my brain, because in assessing the current situation, Mariana was just a good woman. There is attraction, but the feelings I have for Kayan are deeper.<br /> Her sobs reverberated around the bedroom , bringing me back to the current situation.<br /> When Kayan left the room, I heard her trashing Mariana's apartment downstairs and was about to go after her.<br /> Mariana's words stopped me dead in my tracks, "Leave her be, Dimitri, she will kill you! She needs to calm down first before we approach her." I turned to her slowly, trying to ignore the pain and blood gushing from my wound.<br /> "What do you mean Mari? I'm going after her! There is no us. This was a mistake. I need to talk to her!" I ran my hands over my face then slid my belt around my leg making a tourniquet.<br /> She slid off the bed, gripping the sheet with her uninjured shoulder. " Take it from me, we're lucky to be alive! You have never seen her upset or know what she's capable of in this state but I do!" She tiptoed to the door listening for any further sound from downstairs, but was greeted with silence.<br /> Mariana sat on the stairs shaking and crying while gripping her disheveled hair.<br /> The front door was ajar, I moved to lock it but the sight of Mariana's car took my breath away. I looked across the street to mine and it looked even worst.<br /> I shook my head, sighed and turned too quickly, causing a searing pain in the bullet wound.<br /> I called my driver Michael and told him to be quick and discreet.<br /> Mariana got dressed in the meantime while we waited with bated breaths.<br /> Michael arrived in about 10 minutes, his eyes expressed shock but he knew better than to ask any questions.<br /> He drove us to Wyckoff Medical, the only place I knew would be discreet about what happened.<br /> Using the back entrance, we were quickly ushered into separate rooms for assessment.<br /> As I laid on the bed, I felt Dr. Green prodding my wound for the bullet. He's been our family physician since I was a child, so when he asked who I pissed off this time , I sighed and ignored him.<br /> All I could think about was Kayan, she was my everything!<br /> Not anymore you prick, you screwed up and you're lucky to be alive, I shook my head, trying to shake guilt ridden thoughts from my subconscious.<br /> I reminisced on all the times we spent together, the plans we made for our future and our kids. I reflected on how she supported me even when my own father doubted me. She never gave up on me. You shut up Dimitri!<br /> Dr. Green waved his hand above my eyes while calling my name. " Did you hear anything I said just now?" he asked quietly.<br /> I sighed " No, what is it?". My tone was clipped but right now I didn't care, I could apologize later.<br /> He rolled his eyes before continuing "I said there's a detective waiting outside to talk to you, you know it's my duty to report this." He grabbed a scissors and cut the thread, signaling that he had finished stitching my wound.<br /> "You'll live, but stay off your feet for a few days, and use a crutch if you have to move around." Dr. Green bandaged my leg and was about to leave when I stopped him.<br /> "Wait, I apologize for my behavior Doc. Where's the young lady who came in with me? I need to see her now." He looked at me sadly, shook his head and left the room without a word.<br /> My guess is he figured out why Kayan hadn't rushed into the hospital demanding answers. The realization hit me of how I not only disappointed Kayan but everyone close to me, especially my parents. <br /> I must have dosed off from the pain medication I had gotten as I was woken up by Mariana gently shaking my shoulder and calling my name.<br /> Blinking my eyes to adjust to the bright lights, I grabbed the remote and adjusted my bed. Mariana looked terrible, her hair was unkempt and her eyes were swollen. Her right arm was bandaged and now in a sling.<br /> She sat in the chair beside the bed and hung her head low. " I spoke to the police, I told them we were mugged at the apartment as we were trying to finalize wedding arrangements." It was barely a whisper, but I sighed in relief.<br /> "We messed up but I agree, I'll tell them the same thing. Kayan doesn't deserve this." My throat felt hoarse so I reached for a tumbler with water, poured a cup and took several sips.<br /> " I told you we needed to stop Dimitri but you insisted on coming over!" I pinned her with a glare which caused her to shut up immediately.<br /> The nerve of this woman! I laughed coldly before turning to her " Oh so now it's my fault Mar? Surely you weren't complaining when I rammed your wet dripping private part with my shaft right? You never said stop! Anything else I'm forgetting?" My chest was heaving by the time I finished ranting.<br /> I was about to continue but her sobs erupted. She looked at me lost, guilt etched across her face before she stood to leave.<br /> "Look Mar, I'm sorry okay. I just don't know what to do." I held her wrist, my thumb caressing the inside of her hand in a comforting way. "How did she get in though?"<br /> Mariana was trembling as tears streamed down her face. She took a deep breath before she spoke. "I forgot she had a key from over a year ago. She would always check the place when I traveled for a convention or went to see my family."<br /> My mouth opened to speak but no words were forthcoming and they never came as the door banged open, slamming into the wall denting it.<br /> Jumping with fright, we turned to see my very pissed off father and my distraught mother. Before I could utter a word, he spoke," You, get out now and don't let me see your face again!" Mariana jumped in fear and ran from the room sobbing before I could stop her.<br /> "Dad i can explain...." He slammed his hand onto the small table, knocking the tumbler over.<br /> My mom grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down but he flicked her hand away and grabbed my hospital gown roughly, "Explain what exactly Dimitri? How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> "I'm going to fix this Dad, just give me a chance please." I turned towards my mom seeking support but she turned her head away from me. " Mom, please I'm sorry, I'll fix this. I'm gonna make everything right."<br /> My Dad simply scoffed at my words, took my Mom's hands and walked out the door.<br /> The only sound that filled the room was that of the water droplets bouncing on the floor.<br /> ---- <br /> Mariana<br /> I have never been more regretful in my entire life. My head was throbbing non stop, my eyes were puffy from all the tears I'd shed in the past 24 hours. My mind replayed the events and all I could think of, was that I should be dead by Kayan's hands.<br /> My driver dropped me off to the apartment, and as I stepped inside I once again surveyed the damage. Nothing was left untouched, I had to start over but I guess that's the price to pay for stabbing your best friend in the back for six months.<br /> I wanted to stop so many times, I knew it was wrong but Dimitri was like a spirit I couldn't get enough of.<br /> We decided to take the secret to our graves and everything was going great until I saw him a week later at Danny's Cafe. We sat and talked for a while but after an hour when we attempted to leave, the sexual tension was just too much to ignore.<br /> From thereon, we used our lunch breaks and any free time we could muster to screw each other senseless. After each encounter, we'd say it was the last time , but that never happened as soon after I took trips when he did or he came to my apartment before going home.<br /> All this time, I gave Kayan a million excuses as to why we couldn't meet up, continued planning her wedding virtually and offered excuses when she whined about Dimitri being overly consumed by work.<br /> I even ended things with my own boyfriend as our relationship became strained and miserable because of my infidelity.<br /> Now this is the endgame, I lost my best friend who always stood by me and I'm pretty sure Dimitri and I have no future.<br /> Sitting on the stairs, I decided to take a leap of faith and call Kayan. If I could just get her to listen to me for a second, I would tell her how sorry I am and try to fix things.<br /> As I dialed her number, it went directly to voice-mail, and after trying a few more times unsuccessfully, I decided to go see her. I ordered an Uber, waiting outside for a few minutes before the car pulled up.<br /> I got in, gave the driver her address and stared blankly out the window. The only sounds were that of the music playing in the dashboard.<br /> Ten minutes later, I was standing on the curb outside Kayan's townhouse. Hesitantly, I opened the gate, trudged up the steps and rang the bell. I was there waiting for a few minutes, I called her but there was no response.<br /> I walked to the garden by the lamp post where she always hid a spare key. It was gone.<br /> Just as I was about to step from the yard, I was stopped in my tracks by a faint voice. My hopes increased but when I turned around expecting Kayan, no one was there.<br /> What was that then, I thought to myself.<br /> I reopened the Uber app, placed my request and waited by the curb.<br /> "She's not here you know." I was startled by the voice and was relieved to see her neighbor Michael.<br /> "What do you mean? Where is she?" I asked hurriedly.<br /> He eyed me suspiciously before replying,<br /> "Seeing you here looking like poop tells me you had a role in Kay's sudden departure 2 hours ago." His words were true yet hurtful, I castedmy eyes down in shame.<br /> "You don't know, Mike, just tell me where she went, I need to talk to her before it's too late" I begged him.<br /> The prick was nonchalant as he leant against her gate typing away on his phone. After getting a ping, indicating a message, he looked up at me smirking.<br /> "Well if you must know, my girl left for England indefinitely..." he paused, struggling to hold back a snicker, "...Oh and she says you should go yourself or Dimatro, whatever the pretty boy's name is." Michael was now clutching his side laughing hysterically while I sighed in defeat.<br /> She's gone! And now there's no way I will find her because I can't go to her family and I'm pretty sure she's already changed her number!<br /> I didn't warrant Michael a response since the Uber pulled up, I hopped in and left.<br /> My phone began vibrating in my pocket and I grabbed it quickly, just hoping it would be Kayan. I was disappointed as Dimitri's name flashed on the screen.<br /> "What do you want Dimitri? Haven't we done enough, didn't you hear what your father said?" I shouted angrily, catching sight of the driver's raised brows in the rear view mirror.<br /> "Calm down Mari, I wanted to apologize for my Dad. I'm getting discharged now so I'm heading home, I need to sort things out with Kay." Though I had wanted the same thing minutes ago, I couldn't help the pang of jealousy that gripped me.<br /> Before I could stop myself I snarled in response<br /> "Thanks for asking how I'm doing you prick! Oh and don't bother going there because she's gone!"<br /> "What are you talking about Mari! This is not the time to joke with me..." I'd had enough of his nonsense so I cut him mid sentence " Kay's gone Dimitri, I just left the house, she's not home and her neighbor says she left for England." The other end of the line was silent.<br /> I looked at the screen to see if the call had been disconnected but the line was still open.<br /> "Dimitri?" He sighed in response and I heard him grunt in pain, perhaps moving too quickly on his injured leg.<br /> "I'm here Mari. How will I fix things if I don't know where to find her? Of all the places, she had to chose England!? Couldn't she have just gone to her parents? What am I going to do now?"<br /> I wanted to speak but my throat felt as if it was clogged.<br /> I cut the call, switched to airplane mode and rested my head against the window as fresh salty tears rolled down my cheeks.<br /> I lost everything.<br /> My best friend. Dimitri . And a family who accepted me without judgement and showed me nothing but love all these years. | Wha002 | 29 | https://facebook.com/61554783541379 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

My chin begins to wobble as tears form in my eyes.<br /> I shouldn't be crying, but I know that he won't accept me. I'm ruined ... I'm marked, claimed to be someone elses ...<br /> "Why are you crying?" he inches closer and only stops when he's in front of me. I want to fall into his arms, to beg him not to reject me, to save me, but how can I when I'm claimed ...<br /> "You're going to reject me." my eyes squeeze shut as I suck my lips into my mouth.<br /> "You might be marked, but I can fix that."<br /> "How?" I stare up at him with teary eyes, "We remove it." he shrugs, his eyes filled with lust.<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> JESSICA'S POV<br /> Nick and I have been married for three years, we are high school sweethearts and married when we were twenty when neither of us found our mates. These days, fated mates are rare and hard to come by ... we both agreed I'd be a good Luna to the pack since I trained with him, I learned to be a luna from his mother and we have been inseparable since we were in diapers.<br /> He's my best friend and my true love.<br /> We made a promise to never leave, to never break the bond, to never reject one another when we found our real mates, which is likely to never happen.<br /> We are attending a ball tonight, but my insides are twisted, as if the Moon Goddess herself wants to shield me from whatever is going to happen, I tried to talk Nick into staying at home, but as stubborn like all alpha's are, he refused and said that we would get a bad name if we didn't attend.<br /> Sitting in the car while our driver takes us to a nearby pack, a strong and mighty one.<br /> I know it's our duty to attend, but holding his hand in the back seat, something is terribly wrong.<br /> We arrive and there are a line of cars outside, one by one driving by , guests getting out, wearing gowns and suits.<br /> It's our turn and Nick opens the door, holding his hand out to me and I happily take it as we get out, photos are taken and a red carpet is rolled out as if we were famous.<br /> Nick looks handsome with his dark blonde hair gelled back, his chiseled jaw tense, and the edges of his lips curled up into a small smile.<br /> We arrive inside and we're led to the ballroom, servants with trays walking with snack food and drinks pace all over while the guests stand and chat.<br /> I notice the alpha of The Deep Mountain pack greeting people, making rounds to greet and speak, there's a stage in the middle against the wall, a bar to the side and a dance floor in the middle where couples are dancing elegantly.<br /> I smile at my surroundings and freeze when I look at Nick, staring at a beautiful dark haired girl .<br /> "Nick." I tug at his hand, but it's like he's under a spell, frozen in time as the girl stares back at him.<br /> "Nick." I tug harder, his shoulder shrugging back, "Huh?" he turns to me with a frown, his fingers letting go of my hand and I feel cold.<br /> "I'm going to grab a drink." he smiles at me before walking off towards the bar, closer to the strange woman.<br /> I was an omega and the room is filled with power, I could even feel hers because she is of a higher rank.<br /> I gulp as I watch him walk to the bar, his eyes locked on hers and she elegantly turns in her navy blue dress, walking towards him with dark lustful eyes.<br /> I can't be ... but it is ... it's his mate ..<br /> I stand frozen and a shoulder bumps into me, making my head turn at the woman glaring and snarling, "Watch where you are going!" she scolds and I apologize before walking over to the bar, joining my mate's side while he absentmindedly stares at the woman next to him.<br /> I clear my throat, but there's no response from him.<br /> He doesn't even notice me ..<br /> "Nick." I smile , hope filling my heart as he glances at me, fear flashing through his perfect green orbs as he steps back and then looks at her again.<br /> "Jess, this is Tiffany ... my mate." he smiles awkwardly at me but when he looks at her, it's a genuine smile ...<br /> "Nick." I frown in concern and he takes my hand, giving it a tight squeeze, "Don't worry, I know what to do." he smiles, "Shall we talk outside?" the gloominess in his eyes makes me relax only for a minute until she holds out her hand, smiling gracefully with her full lips and pretty blue eyes.<br /> My heart sinks when her hand hooks into his arm and they head to the balcony. alone ...<br /> I should go with ... but it is a private matter.<br /> 'He's ours...' Zola, my wolf, whimpers.<br /> I stand at the bar, staring carelessly at my mate walking off with his true mate and I inch closer, frowning as every nerve in my body is burning to follow them.<br /> I glance around and there are so many people that they don't even notice until the Luna of the Deep Mountain pack steps closer, "Jessica, is it? From the West Pack?" I nod, trying not to be rude when I look at the balcony and not at her while she speaks to me.<br /> "Oh honey, it's done." she shakes her head and I frown, cocking my head at her in confusion.<br /> "What do you mean?" My eyes stare into her honey ones.<br /> "He found his mate, I'm sorry but it's fated and you are now the other woman." she sighs, glancing at the balcony doors.<br /> I stare at her, my heart racing a million miles an hour and I excuse myself.<br /> I step out of the house, moving around the arriving couples when I feel my heart squeeze, pain taking over and I know what it meant ... Disgust fills me and I start to run, glancing over my shoulder no one notices and I shift, my beautiful pastel pink dress ripping to shreds as I run into the woods.<br /> The pain had stopped, but I did not return home until after midnight, finding Nick sitting on the couch, watching tv.<br /> "Jessica, where have you been?" he stands as I slam the door shut, standing undressed in front of him.<br /> I cross my arms over my chest, glaring at him. "Excuse me?" I shake my head at him, "Where have I been? What have you been doing!" I growl, making his eyes widen in shame and his gaze flicks to the floor when he scratches his nape.<br /> "That's what I thought, you couldn't even resist ten minutes before sleeping her, could you?" I see the pure rage filling me.<br /> "I didn't, I swear..." he promises, but I don't believe him.<br /> Scoffing, I strut past the couch to our room, "Can we talk?" he yells and I turn , "Did you reject her?" I frown and he falls silent, raking a hand through his hair.<br /> "Then no, we can't ." I turn and walk to our room.<br /> He follows me, closing the door behind us, "Jess, I love you. I promise I will reject her, I just ... I couldn't, it's much more difficult than you think." he frowns, explaining himself.<br /> "And will you go and do it?" I grab clothes from the closet, "I will, just ... I need time." he begs and I snort, "Can I come when you do it?" the silence says it all, he doesn't want me there ...<br /> "You're saying you'll do it, but you won't, because you are weak." I tut, shaking my head.<br /> "I will, I just need to distance myself, to keep myself away and then I'll do it when I have the strength to." he explains, his eyes pleading for forgiveness.<br /> I hum, ignoring him as I strut past him toward the bathroom and he reaches for me, grabbing my wrist and I snarl at him, making him let me go instantly, "Don't touch me after sleeping someone else." I grit out, backing up into the bathroom and I slam the door shut, the heavy thud shaking the windows and I lock the door.<br /> I take a hot shower, the water pouring down on me as my back slides down the tiled wall, tears streaming down my face as I weep.<br /> I hear the door handle jiggle and I wipe the fog from the glass door, staring at the handle go up and down as he tries to enter.<br /> I feel a tug at the mind link, but I shut him out.<br /> He disgusts me, he promised, both of us promised one another that we would immediately reject our mates before the bond grew and he is letting it grow, making it ten times more difficult to reject them.<br /> I can't believe I trusted him ... I expose his mark in the crook of my neck, I hold our love dear in my heart and he just let it all go down the drain, letting it sink into the sewers.<br /> I am nothing under his shoe and here I am, still loving him with every breath I take.<br /> After sitting more than an hour under the steaming water, it turns cold and I sit for another half an hour before standing and I shut the water off, taking my time to get dressed and when I stride out in silk booty shorts and a thin strap silk top, I notice how Nick lays in bed, his thumbs circling one another as he stares at the ceiling.<br /> He doesn't even notice me and I am sure he's thinking about her.<br /> The one who stole his heart within a second, the one who is going to steal my life, my bed, my position and my mate.<br /> We are real mates, we accepted one another, we marked each other, we might not be fated, but we are real or we were before her.<br /> ==<br /> My heart starts racing as we head further up the stairs, my pulse is beating in my ears and the musky scent is intensifying. When we reach the top, there's an entire living room in the middle and then two halls, but the scent up here is stronger ... "What's that smell?" I ask Louis without hesitation. He turns to me, his arched brows furrowing together, "The sweaty smell? Must be Nate, my alpha, but please, call him Alpha Nathaniel, he doesn't like strangers calling him Nate, or anyone else. As his best friend, I have perks." he winks at me, his smile so genuine and he seems like a totally different guy in his own pack than what he was at the party.<br /> I wet my lips and it still stings, it's taking forever to heal but I could feel it start from the inside.<br /> "Louis! Have you seen my phone?" Nate's voice comes from the opposite hall. "No, I've been out doing your job!" Louis yells back and the power lingering in the air is suffocating me. I'm stiff and upset about the stupid dress I thought would impress Nick.<br /> "Come.." Louis tugs me down the other hall, away from Alpha Nathaniel and once I enter his room, I'm shook. Everything is so white except for a few decorations. "Wow." I breathe out, his room is bigger than Nick and I's.<br /> He marches over to his closet and grabs a shirt, tossing it at me, "The bathroom is over there." he nods behind me and I turn, smiling before looking over my shoulder at him, "I'll be right back." he struts over to the door and I head inside the bathroom, the white marble walls knock the air right out of my lungs and I stand for two minutes and just look at everything.<br /> The bathtub looks huge, almost like a hot tub, the shower has benches built in and is large with great shower head equipment, the sink is built into a large white counter with beautiful engraved cupboards below it.<br /> I quickly undress and put Louis' white shirt on that fits me like a dress. I drape my dress over my arm and pick up my heels before exiting the bathroom, standing awkwardly looking at the bed ... wondering if he'll come back to peck me ...<br /> I know I shouldn't think of it, but I've been feeling so alone ... It doesn't matter if Nick slept next to me last night, his mind wasn't with me ... he didn't want me in his bed ... he wanted her.<br /> He didn't even come near me when all I wanted was for him to hold me, to tell me I'm still important too ... but he didn't. When he climbed into bed, he turned his back to me and fell asleep, but it seemed forced, like he didn't want to see me at all.<br /> The door opens and Louis stands there, his eyes trailing me standing in his shirt. "You are tiny, aren't you?" he comes inside, holding out his hand and I take it, "Let's get that dress fixed." he grins and leads me down the hall again.<br /> Before taking the first step, a clearing of a throat makes us stop, "Louis, who's this?" Alpha Nathaniel's voice makes a shiver run down my spine and Louis turns first, "Jessica." he smiles and before he could explain anything, I turn, freezing when our eyes lock.<br /> My lips part as I stare into Alpha Nathaniel's beautiful olive orbs, his entire body language changes, his laid back look now tense.<br /> "Mate." he growls lowly and I gasp, fear and excitement mixing inside of me. My stomach flutters and Louis let's go of me, stepping aside, "Nate, I didn't know." he moves away from me and Alpha Nathaniel's eyes lock on my busted lip, his eyes flicking a bright silver as he looks at Louis, "What happened to her lip?" he grits out, anger clear in his tone.<br /> "Her..." , "Wait!" I blurt out, looking at Louis with pleading eyes and Alpha Nathaniel's head snaps to my direction, curiosity visible in his gaze, "Why wait?" Alpha Nathaniel asks, his tone calm when speaking to me.<br /> "I just ... I think I should tell you." I pick at my nails nervously, hoping that he wouldn't reject me.<br /> Louis walks over to me, "Give me the dress, I'll get it cleaned." he smiles and Alpha Nathaniel gives him a weird look as I hand it over.<br /> "Excuse me." Louis mutters before trotting down the stairs, leaving me alone with Alpha Nathaniel.<br /> "So, what happened?" he asks, his muscles tensing. I want to inch closer, every fibre of my being wants to be near him ... but his gaze falls to my neck, looking at the mark embroidered into my flesh.<br /> "My mate his Louis for dancing with me and he accidentally hit me too ... I was in the way." his eyes flash bright, anger written all over his face, "Accidentally?" he frowns, dragging his large veiny hand through his black hair. "Yes, I believe so." I gulp, his aura makes me feel like running away.<br /> "And you have a mate..." his eyes narrow on my mark and I feel the need to just claw it off.<br /> "My mate found his mate and now I'm just ... the luna of our pack." My chin begins to wobble as tears form in my eyes.<br /> I shouldn't be crying, but I know that he won't accept me. I'm ruined ... I'm marked, claimed to be someone elses ...<br /> "Why are you crying?" he inches closer and only stops when he's in front of me. I want to fall into his arms, to beg him not to reject me, to save me, but how can I when I'm claimed ...<br /> "You're going to reject me." my eyes squeeze shut as I suck my lips into my mouth. I flinch as his fingers brush over my cheek, wiping the tears away and sparks erupt in my face, sending a calm sensation down my back.<br /> "You might be marked, but I can fix that." his hand brushes my raven hair back over my shoulder, his thumb dragging over my mark and it slightly stings because he isn't the man who gave it to me ...<br /> "How?" I stare up at him with teary eyes, "We remove it." he shrugs, his eyes filled with lust.<br /> I step back, "How?"<br /> I never heard of a mark being removed ... and if someone did, they sure didn't survive to tell the tale.<br /> "It's a rare ritual, but you seem tough enough." he shrugs, making my blood run cold ... I'm not tough ... I was an omega before being a luna ...<br /> "I was an omega before being a luna." I blurt out, feeling like it's a fact he has to know.<br /> "But you are a luna, it changes your status. Didn't you feel yourself change?" his fingers drag down the side of my arm before he takes my hand and I feel like I might just jump him right here.<br /> "Let's get you out of Louis's shirt ... I know he's kind but you smelling like him pisses me off." his eyes widen, his jaw tense and I follow him without hesitation.<br /> Walking into his room is like walking into a fancy black interior design room, the walls are black, his bedding his black, his cupboards are black ... everything is black with beautiful gold detailing.<br /> "Wow." I breathe out as I absentmindedly march over to the double doors and just open them without asking. I step outside onto the patio, staring at the dark forest that surrounds us. We're far from the ground and I turn, looking at the dark exterior.<br /> Alpha Nathaniel joins me outside with a black t-shirt, not that I expected anything else, "Here, this will suit you much better." he grins, handing me the black shirt. "Where's your bathroom?" he frowns at my question, "Inside." he nods to behind him and I smile up at him, his emerald eyes glistening as he watches me pass him.<br /> I could feel his eyes on me as I disappear into the bathroom and it's even bigger than Louis' ...<br /> I find it extremely weird that the guy who brought me home is my mate's beta ... for Goddess sake ... I thought of pecking him!<br /> I take a few minutes to glance around the bathroom, staring at myself in the full length bathroom mirror across from me.<br /> My lip is almost fully healed at least ...<br /> Nick ... oh Goddess, what do I tell Nick? | Pop001 | 393 | https://facebook.com/100092038763039 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

I stare up at him with teary eyes, "We remove it." he shrugs, his eyes filled with lust.<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> JESSICA'S POV<br /> Nick and I have been married for three years, we are high school sweethearts and married when we were twenty when neither of us found our mates. These days, fated mates are rare and hard to come by ... we both agreed I'd be a good Luna to the pack since I trained with him, I learned to be a luna from his mother and we have been inseparable since we were in diapers.<br /> He's my best friend and my true love.<br /> We made a promise to never leave, to never break the bond, to never reject one another when we found our real mates, which is likely to never happen.<br /> We are attending a ball tonight, but my insides are twisted, as if the Moon Goddess herself wants to shield me from whatever is going to happen, I tried to talk Nick into staying at home, but as stubborn like all alpha's are, he refused and said that we would get a bad name if we didn't attend.<br /> Sitting in the car while our driver takes us to a nearby pack, a strong and mighty one.<br /> I know it's our duty to attend, but holding his hand in the back seat, something is terribly wrong.<br /> We arrive and there are a line of cars outside, one by one driving by , guests getting out, wearing gowns and suits.<br /> It's our turn and Nick opens the door, holding his hand out to me and I happily take it as we get out, photos are taken and a red carpet is rolled out as if we were famous.<br /> Nick looks handsome with his dark blonde hair gelled back, his chiseled jaw tense, and the edges of his lips curled up into a small smile.<br /> We arrive inside and we're led to the ballroom, servants with trays walking with snack food and drinks pace all over while the guests stand and chat.<br /> I notice the alpha of The Deep Mountain pack greeting people, making rounds to greet and speak, there's a stage in the middle against the wall, a bar to the side and a dance floor in the middle where couples are dancing elegantly.<br /> I smile at my surroundings and freeze when I look at Nick, staring at a beautiful dark haired girl .<br /> "Nick." I tug at his hand, but it's like he's under a spell, frozen in time as the girl stares back at him.<br /> "Nick." I tug harder, his shoulder shrugging back, "Huh?" he turns to me with a frown, his fingers letting go of my hand and I feel cold.<br /> "I'm going to grab a drink." he smiles at me before walking off towards the bar, closer to the strange woman.<br /> I was an omega and the room is filled with power, I could even feel hers because she is of a higher rank.<br /> I gulp as I watch him walk to the bar, his eyes locked on hers and she elegantly turns in her navy blue dress, walking towards him with dark lustful eyes.<br /> I can't be ... but it is ... it's his mate ..<br /> I stand frozen and a shoulder bumps into me, making my head turn at the woman glaring and snarling, "Watch where you are going!" she scolds and I apologize before walking over to the bar, joining my mate's side while he absentmindedly stares at the woman next to him.<br /> I clear my throat, but there's no response from him.<br /> He doesn't even notice me ..<br /> "Nick." I smile , hope filling my heart as he glances at me, fear flashing through his perfect green orbs as he steps back and then looks at her again.<br /> "Jess, this is Tiffany ... my mate." he smiles awkwardly at me but when he looks at her, it's a genuine smile ...<br /> "Nick." I frown in concern and he takes my hand, giving it a tight squeeze, "Don't worry, I know what to do." he smiles, "Shall we talk outside?" the gloominess in his eyes makes me relax only for a minute until she holds out her hand, smiling gracefully with her full lips and pretty blue eyes.<br /> My heart sinks when her hand hooks into his arm and they head to the balcony. alone ...<br /> I should go with ... but it is a private matter.<br /> 'He's ours...' Zola, my wolf, whimpers.<br /> I stand at the bar, staring carelessly at my mate walking off with his true mate and I inch closer, frowning as every nerve in my body is burning to follow them.<br /> I glance around and there are so many people that they don't even notice until the Luna of the Deep Mountain pack steps closer, "Jessica, is it? From the West Pack?" I nod, trying not to be rude when I look at the balcony and not at her while she speaks to me.<br /> "Oh honey, it's done." she shakes her head and I frown, cocking my head at her in confusion.<br /> "What do you mean?" My eyes stare into her honey ones.<br /> "He found his mate, I'm sorry but it's fated and you are now the other woman." she sighs, glancing at the balcony doors.<br /> I stare at her, my heart racing a million miles an hour and I excuse myself.<br /> I step out of the house, moving around the arriving couples when I feel my heart squeeze, pain taking over and I know what it meant ... Disgust fills me and I start to run, glancing over my shoulder no one notices and I shift, my beautiful pastel pink dress ripping to shreds as I run into the woods.<br /> The pain had stopped, but I did not return home until after midnight, finding Nick sitting on the couch, watching tv.<br /> "Jessica, where have you been?" he stands as I slam the door shut, standing undressed in front of him.<br /> I cross my arms over my chest, glaring at him. "Excuse me?" I shake my head at him, "Where have I been? What have you been doing!" I growl, making his eyes widen in shame and his gaze flicks to the floor when he scratches his nape.<br /> "That's what I thought, you couldn't even resist ten minutes before sleeping her, could you?" I see the pure rage filling me.<br /> "I didn't, I swear..." he promises, but I don't believe him.<br /> Scoffing, I strut past the couch to our room, "Can we talk?" he yells and I turn , "Did you reject her?" I frown and he falls silent, raking a hand through his hair.<br /> "Then no, we can't ." I turn and walk to our room.<br /> He follows me, closing the door behind us, "Jess, I love you. I promise I will reject her, I just ... I couldn't, it's much more difficult than you think." he frowns, explaining himself.<br /> "And will you go and do it?" I grab clothes from the closet, "I will, just ... I need time." he begs and I snort, "Can I come when you do it?" the silence says it all, he doesn't want me there ...<br /> "You're saying you'll do it, but you won't, because you are weak." I tut, shaking my head.<br /> "I will, I just need to distance myself, to keep myself away and then I'll do it when I have the strength to." he explains, his eyes pleading for forgiveness.<br /> I hum, ignoring him as I strut past him toward the bathroom and he reaches for me, grabbing my wrist and I snarl at him, making him let me go instantly, "Don't touch me after sleeping someone else." I grit out, backing up into the bathroom and I slam the door shut, the heavy thud shaking the windows and I lock the door.<br /> I take a hot shower, the water pouring down on me as my back slides down the tiled wall, tears streaming down my face as I weep.<br /> I hear the door handle jiggle and I wipe the fog from the glass door, staring at the handle go up and down as he tries to enter.<br /> I feel a tug at the mind link, but I shut him out.<br /> He disgusts me, he promised, both of us promised one another that we would immediately reject our mates before the bond grew and he is letting it grow, making it ten times more difficult to reject them.<br /> I can't believe I trusted him ... I expose his mark in the crook of my neck, I hold our love dear in my heart and he just let it all go down the drain, letting it sink into the sewers.<br /> I am nothing under his shoe and here I am, still loving him with every breath I take.<br /> After sitting more than an hour under the steaming water, it turns cold and I sit for another half an hour before standing and I shut the water off, taking my time to get dressed and when I stride out in silk booty shorts and a thin strap silk top, I notice how Nick lays in bed, his thumbs circling one another as he stares at the ceiling.<br /> He doesn't even notice me and I am sure he's thinking about her.<br /> The one who stole his heart within a second, the one who is going to steal my life, my bed, my position and my mate.<br /> We are real mates, we accepted one another, we marked each other, we might not be fated, but we are real or we were before her.<br /> ==<br /> My heart starts racing as we head further up the stairs, my pulse is beating in my ears and the musky scent is intensifying. When we reach the top, there's an entire living room in the middle and then two halls, but the scent up here is stronger ... "What's that smell?" I ask Louis without hesitation. He turns to me, his arched brows furrowing together, "The sweaty smell? Must be Nate, my alpha, but please, call him Alpha Nathaniel, he doesn't like strangers calling him Nate, or anyone else. As his best friend, I have perks." he winks at me, his smile so genuine and he seems like a totally different guy in his own pack than what he was at the party.<br /> I wet my lips and it still stings, it's taking forever to heal but I could feel it start from the inside.<br /> "Louis! Have you seen my phone?" Nate's voice comes from the opposite hall. "No, I've been out doing your job!" Louis yells back and the power lingering in the air is suffocating me. I'm stiff and upset about the stupid dress I thought would impress Nick.<br /> "Come.." Louis tugs me down the other hall, away from Alpha Nathaniel and once I enter his room, I'm shook. Everything is so white except for a few decorations. "Wow." I breathe out, his room is bigger than Nick and I's.<br /> He marches over to his closet and grabs a shirt, tossing it at me, "The bathroom is over there." he nods behind me and I turn, smiling before looking over my shoulder at him, "I'll be right back." he struts over to the door and I head inside the bathroom, the white marble walls knock the air right out of my lungs and I stand for two minutes and just look at everything.<br /> The bathtub looks huge, almost like a hot tub, the shower has benches built in and is large with great shower head equipment, the sink is built into a large white counter with beautiful engraved cupboards below it.<br /> I quickly undress and put Louis' white shirt on that fits me like a dress. I drape my dress over my arm and pick up my heels before exiting the bathroom, standing awkwardly looking at the bed ... wondering if he'll come back to peck me ...<br /> I know I shouldn't think of it, but I've been feeling so alone ... It doesn't matter if Nick slept next to me last night, his mind wasn't with me ... he didn't want me in his bed ... he wanted her.<br /> He didn't even come near me when all I wanted was for him to hold me, to tell me I'm still important too ... but he didn't. When he climbed into bed, he turned his back to me and fell asleep, but it seemed forced, like he didn't want to see me at all.<br /> The door opens and Louis stands there, his eyes trailing me standing in his shirt. "You are tiny, aren't you?" he comes inside, holding out his hand and I take it, "Let's get that dress fixed." he grins and leads me down the hall again.<br /> Before taking the first step, a clearing of a throat makes us stop, "Louis, who's this?" Alpha Nathaniel's voice makes a shiver run down my spine and Louis turns first, "Jessica." he smiles and before he could explain anything, I turn, freezing when our eyes lock.<br /> My lips part as I stare into Alpha Nathaniel's beautiful olive orbs, his entire body language changes, his laid back look now tense.<br /> "Mate." he growls lowly and I gasp, fear and excitement mixing inside of me. My stomach flutters and Louis let's go of me, stepping aside, "Nate, I didn't know." he moves away from me and Alpha Nathaniel's eyes lock on my busted lip, his eyes flicking a bright silver as he looks at Louis, "What happened to her lip?" he grits out, anger clear in his tone.<br /> "Her..." , "Wait!" I blurt out, looking at Louis with pleading eyes and Alpha Nathaniel's head snaps to my direction, curiosity visible in his gaze, "Why wait?" Alpha Nathaniel asks, his tone calm when speaking to me.<br /> "I just ... I think I should tell you." I pick at my nails nervously, hoping that he wouldn't reject me.<br /> Louis walks over to me, "Give me the dress, I'll get it cleaned." he smiles and Alpha Nathaniel gives him a weird look as I hand it over.<br /> "Excuse me." Louis mutters before trotting down the stairs, leaving me alone with Alpha Nathaniel.<br /> "So, what happened?" he asks, his muscles tensing. I want to inch closer, every fibre of my being wants to be near him ... but his gaze falls to my neck, looking at the mark embroidered into my flesh.<br /> "My mate his Louis for dancing with me and he accidentally hit me too ... I was in the way." his eyes flash bright, anger written all over his face, "Accidentally?" he frowns, dragging his large veiny hand through his black hair. "Yes, I believe so." I gulp, his aura makes me feel like running away.<br /> "And you have a mate..." his eyes narrow on my mark and I feel the need to just claw it off.<br /> "My mate found his mate and now I'm just ... the luna of our pack." My chin begins to wobble as tears form in my eyes.<br /> I shouldn't be crying, but I know that he won't accept me. I'm ruined ... I'm marked, claimed to be someone elses ...<br /> "Why are you crying?" he inches closer and only stops when he's in front of me. I want to fall into his arms, to beg him not to reject me, to save me, but how can I when I'm claimed ...<br /> "You're going to reject me." my eyes squeeze shut as I suck my lips into my mouth.

I blurt out, feeling like it's a fact he has to know.<br /> "But you are a luna, it changes your status. Didn't you feel yourself change?" his fingers drag down the side of my arm before he takes my hand and I feel like I might just jump him right here.<br /> "Let's get you out of Louis's shirt ...

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. 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.

You won't talk to me, and every time I get close to you, you scurry away." He put his hands in his pockets.<br /> "Christian, there is nothing to talk about. I don't have time for your gibberish. Don't you have other girls to bother? What can you possibly talk to me about? !" I was losing my cool.<br /> "Natalie, I like you a lot." His eyes were getting dark. That look, there it was again. Desire? "CHRISTIAN!" I yelled. "Spit it out now! What did you come here fโ" Before I could finish my statement, he slammed his lips on me.<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> ~Christian's POV~<br /> Last night I heard my parents talking about Natalie coming home. I knew they were talking about Natalie Adams, the one girl who was untouchable or unapproachable. That vixen thought she was hiding in the shadows but I saw her.<br /> The thing is that she didn't realize how badly guys wanted her. Even if they came up to her it was funny because she would stare at them like they were stupid and her resting b-face said it all. She didn't even have to respond, and because of that they never approached her again. Talk about painted black. I think that was the color of her soul.<br /> The girl was beyond gorgeous. Every time she walked in a classroom or the cafeteria, her dark and mysterious demeanor attracted anyone. She would never know, because when you saw her with her earbuds on, it's as if Natalie was always in her own world.<br /> I wonder where she goes every summer because I never saw her around the pack when school was finished. I was thinking about asking my parents, but that will have to wait.<br /> I was always surrounded or being approached by girls, it never failed. I've slept around and I wasn't ashamed of it because I am an Alpha and an Alpha needs that release. I did have an ex-girlfriend that seemed to not know the meaning of "ex". Elle was always around when I needed an easy contact.<br /> She was Zeo Wilson's sister, our future beta, and was captain of the cheerleader squad. This girl would sometimes scare the other girls away and acted like she owned me. The girl is hot but has a nasty attitude and thinks highly of herself. No shame whatsoever.<br /> Natalie, however, she was the one girl I was profoundly attracted to. I wanted to feel and taste her. She had this strong aura around her and that confused me because I know her parents are warriors, but there was this ambience about her that made me want her more than any other she wolf. Just maybe, maybe she could be my fated mate.<br /> I went on Instagram and just like I assumed, she has her account in private, so you can only see her profile picture. It was a set of earbuds on top of a book in black and white. This girl was fascinating. I wanted to know her so badlyโฆall of her.<br /> I mean come on, who wouldn't want a piece of me. I'm 6 '6, muscular, I have the lightest gray eyes with dirty blonde hair, medium on the top and short sides. I'm every girl's wet dream. I've been told I look like the younger version of Christopher Egan. I'm better looking though.<br /> So I did what I have never done with any other girl. I sent her a friend request on Instagram. "Now the waiting game begins."<br /> ~Natalie POV~<br /> "Pfffsh, no!" He may be attractive, and I won't deny it. After all, I am a girl, and the guy is hot. Every girl may go crazy for him and desire him, but not me. He's a scumbag. His cocky disposition said it all.<br /> He sleeps with anything that has a hole. It's like a stray dog, leave it alone, you don't know where it's been. 'He probably has STDs or something, not to mention where his mouth has been,' Zoe said in disgust. Can't disagree. I know we may be exaggerating, but Christian's been around with almost every chic in that school.<br /> ~<br /> I was already running for 20 minutes, when I sensed another wolf running too. 'A warrior on security watch?' No. My wolf Jasper sensed it was a girl. As I got closer, I smirked. 'Well, well, lookie who it is.' I told Jaz, a shorter name for my wolf.<br /> I knew I would get to her first before she sensed us because Alpha's have stronger abilities than all other wolves.<br /> 'Lucky us. I am fond of this one, Chris.' Jaz said. 'Well let's go say hello, maybe we'll get lucky to allure her.' I said cockily.<br /> As we got closer, she turned around in defensive mode. 'That was odd.'<br /> "What, Christian! What are you trying to do? Give me a heart attack numb nuts!" She said, trying to catch her breath.<br /> I started to laugh, "Woah baby, no need to go in attack mode andโฆnumb nuts?" I said, raising an eyebrow looking offended with her word choice of insult. She was fiery, and her voice sounded hot.<br /> "Yeahโฆwellโฆyou should never sneak up on anyone running ALPHA!" She said angrily.<br /> Every time she spoke, my shaft twitched, and this time, I stepped closer. I smirked and licked my bottom lip. "Nat, you don't have to call me Alpha, just Christian or Chris for short." She noticed the action.<br /> She raised an eyebrow, "OkayโฆChristianโฆbut you will have to call me Natalie. Only my close friends and my parents call me Nat. What are you doing here? Were you stalking me? You know better than anyone never to sneak up on someone like that unless you're looking for a hip whooping," She spat. "You know how rogues don't follow rules and are ruthless killers!"<br /> "Wait, stalking! No, I was out for a run today. Why did you say it like thatโฆwaitโฆunless you saw the friend request." I said, dismissing the rogue statement.<br /> "Pleaseโฆyeah I saw it. Now that you bring it upโฆno." She simply said.<br /> "Noโฆ" I said, looking dumb founded.<br /> "We are not friends, and you have never spoken a word to me, Christian. What did you expect? It would be like you invading my personal space!"<br /> "Speaking of personal space, back off, you keep coming closer, dude." She looked pissed and was already fisting up her hands.<br /> "Shorty, why do you have to be so angry? It's just a friend request, and it's not just from anyone, but from your future Alpha," I chuckled. "Sweetheart, you make it difficult to get near you. In that case, let me get to know you better, Natalie. It's never too late." Now biting my lower lip.<br /> As I got closer, she kept backing up until she hit a tree. I leaned to her face, and I could smell the vanilla scent in her hair. She smelled good. I wanted to peck her badly. But that thought disappeared when I suddenly felt pain down south. 'Did she just hit my balls!' I went down on one knee holding my pair to soothe them.<br /> "Don't for one, think, I am attracted to you or treat me like those other girls you have luring around. I am nothing like them. Never invade my personal space. You may be my Alpha soon, but even the Alpha has to respect his pack members." She looked down on me and if I wasn't more attracted to her than ever.<br /> She was beautiful. 'Chris, mate or not, we want her!' Jaz said, and I couldn't agree more. ' She definitely is unique, Jaz, one of a kind. ' I said as I saw her curvy body making her way back home. My hands ached to touch her.<br /> 'The nerve of that fool' I told Zo. 'Did you see how he was licking his lips like if I was a piece of meat,' I said, all pissed off. 'He was sniffing my hair too! Creep!'<br /> 'You sure kicked him hard, girlie! If I could hi-five you, I would, so I'll do it mentally' she snickered. 'He is cute, though Natie. The guy has muscle. I wouldn't mind seeing his wolf Jasper.' Zoe said.<br /> Ughโฆmaybe so, but he is too arrogant and cocky. Zoe kinda caught me off guard with that comment, though. Traitor.<br /> I ran fast, heading home. So much for a quiet and peaceful run. I got home showered and changed. My parents weren't home. I noticed it was past 9, so I called Evie.<br /> "Good morning Natie! I woke up at 9 thinking you weren't kidding on calling me, but to my surprise, you didn't call on time. That's not you, Nat." She said, concerned.<br /> "Evie, you will never believe what happened to me. Come over so we can talk and head out!"<br /> _____________________<br /> "No freaking way! What are you for reals? ! Christian!" Evie's mouth was wide open.<br /> "The devil in the flesh Ev's!" I told her. I explained what happened this morning about receiving his friend request and what happened on my run, almost scaring the pee out of me by sneaking up on me. The way he caged me by a tree and how he was acting weird, like trying to make a move on me.<br /> "Nat, Christian has the hots for you." She said in a teasing voice. Christian is not a one woman man. "Ev's, no dude. Honestly, there is only one guy that I really would like to know andโฆugh," I said, now feeling a little sad.<br /> "Who! ? Ivan Carter? ! He is an attractive one, buddy."<br /> Ivan Carter belongs to another pack, the Midnight Pack. He is the son of Alpha Easton Carter. He also attends the academy, and every time I sneak a peek at him, my body reacts to him. I've touched myself just thinking about him.<br /> 'You ain't lying Nat, he's a total package.' Zoe said breathlessly.<br /> 'Okay make up your mind! ? I chucked.<br /> I have never gotten close to him or talked to him. Well it's my fault, actually. I don't like getting close to anyone, and I was scared that he didn't feel the same way. I can't get my hopes up anyway. He's meant to be an Alpha. We shouldn't really mess with Alphas either way. I've heard Alpha's can choose their mates as well, but a true fated mate can make a strong heir.<br /> He also has this chic that is always around him, Camila Ares. She is next in line for Gamma in his pack. She is always with or on him. She freaking irritates me.<br /> 'He doesn't look interested in her, but they are always together. Well him and his click.' Zoe putting her two cents in. 'Yup,' I sighed.<br /> "Evie, do you think this year will be different? I don't know if I'm ready to see who I'm mated to." I can't believe I sound so down. I mentally slapped myself, I got up and shook off all of those unwanted emotions and thoughts.<br /> I'm scared of these feelings I have for Ivan, only to be hurt if he's mated with someone else, which probably will happen. I have to do something fast and stop whatever this is before I get a broken heart.<br /> "Nat, you're gorgeous, and anyone mated to you will be lucky as heck because you are one of a kind! To answer your question, yes! This is our year!" She leaned over and gave me a big hug.<br /> "You're gorgeous too, buddy. Anyone would be lucky to have you as a mate. I'll kick your mate's hip if he thinks otherwise. I got your back, babe!"<br /> We got up and headed for my car. My parents had gotten me a used Red, fourth generation Camaro from 2004, on my 16th birthday. I love my car.<br /> I rammed my engine and headed to town.<br /> ~Ivan's POV~<br /> "Alpha Ivan! Hey, earth to Alpha!" Jerry hollered. "I'm right next to you idiot" I growled. "Put me on the spot, why don't you."<br /> Jerry Scott is my Delta, and he's already taking charge since his father stepped down. He is the head warrior and trains our pack members.<br /> Training is about to start, and we are about to spar each other.<br /> I will soon become Alpha of the Midnight Pack. At the age of 18, the current Alpha, my father, Easton Carter, will step down, and I will claim my place as Alpha.<br /> I got distracted with my thoughts. In a few weeks I'll be going back to school at the Blue Moon Academy. It's our last year, and I'm anxious, though. There's this girl that has been on my mind rent-free. I haven't made the effort to talk to her. It seems she's not the talkative kind and brushes anyone away.<br /> This year will be different. I will make the initiative to get closer to her. I'm all giddy just thinking about her. When I think about her face, her hair, and her body, I get turned on. Natalie Adams makes me feel things I've never felt for anyone.<br /> Striker, my wolf puts these images in my head of us sleeping. 'There is something about this girl Ivan, that when I see her, it makes me go crazy, she belongs to us. That aura around her when she is pissed is captivating?' Striker says calmly.<br /> It's not common when a person's wolf feels infatuated with a certain person who is not their mate. I've heard that Alpha's get signs if a girl belongs to them, but we haven't been too close to her to sense any of those signs. Honestly, I wouldn't even know the signs if they were there.<br /> Just watching her from afar has been enough for us both these past years. But it's time to change that because just looking at her is not sufficient anymore. We need and want more of her.<br /> However, he's right. We've seen people piss her off from a distance. She doesn't show emotion like other girls, but when she is angry, her aura is strong, and with that, she scares them off. She's fierce.<br /> Her demeanor says it all. I can't put my finger on it. Only wolves with high rankings have that type of aura that demands respect and obedience.<br /> But if I am correct, her parents are warriors from Christian's pack. Soโฆit can't be possible. Werewolves take their rankings seriously. Well, most of us. That's just the way it should be. Your destined mate and you should make a strong heir.<br /> It also irks me of the fact that Christian has had his eyes on her. It sucks that she is from his pack. You can see the gleam in his eyes when she walks into the lunchroom. My wolf wants to peek out and claw his eyes out each time. Arrogant nutsack.<br /> 'That's true. Should we do a bit of research regarding her family line?' Striker eagerly says. 'Yeah, maybe we should. Just maybe there is something more to her, and by luck, we could have a chance to be mated to her.' With that thought, I couldn't help but smile.<br /> You may ask, what is it about this girl that makes her so interesting? Well, she is definitely not like the girls at school or my pack. She is attractive, and that fierce, mysterious, emotionless demeanor she gives out makes her so alluring. Makes you curious about her personality and what she thinks. This girl attracts unwanted attention without even trying.<br /> All other girls yearn for that attention and throw themselves at guys, but not her. She also doesn't give any guy her undivided attention. It's like no one exists around her. She is in her own world.<br /> "Ay, what's that on your face! Are you smiling? Wipe that off Alpha, ain't nobody got time for that when you're about to get a beat down." Jerry says laughing.<br /> โฆand just like that, my face is emotionless.<br /> 'Alright, you got jokes!' I scowl. Turning around, I yelled, "BEGIN!"<br /> _________<br /> After our training, I headed to the pack house. As I open the front door and head to the stairs, I hear footsteps behind me, and someone jumps on my back. I knew it was Camila because of her scent. It's too flowery and strong for my liking. Striker growls.<br /> Everyone thinks that we are together, but that is far from the truth. We are friends with benefits. I don't feel anything for her, honestly. Striker gets pissed off. He dislikes her scent and voice.<br /> He only accepts it if we imagine Natalie beneath us.<br /> "Get off me, Camila! I'm your Alpha!" I yelled. She flinched and quickly got off. I already do Alpha affairs as I'm slowly transitioning into the labors of a true leader. I take my job seriously because leading is what I do best.<br /> "What's wrong baby, you've been distant lately? You don't want me anymore? You haven't invited me up to your room. It's been weeks now, Ivan." She said, with her whiny voice.<br /> Striker snapped, 'She better remember her place, Ivan! It's Alpha to this bimbo!'<br /> I palm my face. "ALPHA! ALPHA IVANโฆCAMILA! ! ! Don't forget my title and don't forget your place." I growled. I was being a scumbag.<br /> Don't get me wrong, Camila is hot. She is 5'8 taller than most girls, with chocolate brown hair. She has these pretty hazel orbs. However, she has an ugly attitude, especially with girls that get close to me. I can't stand that. I may have slept with her a couple of times, but I feel nothing for her. She is not Natalie.<br /> ~<br /> "What's up Ivan, you rang! ?" Pointing at his head trying to be funny.<br /> Jerry, Axel, and Camila are allowed to call me Ivan without using my title. Especially if we are alone or having a group conversation with just the four of us.<br /> However, Camila has been irritating me lately. I may have acted like a scumbag but I have to somehow hammer it in her head that we are not a thing.<br /> I said this before, but I take my position seriously. Being a leader is a serious matter and the decisions I make can have a life or death impact on my pack.<br /> From here forward, she will have to understand that I can not condone that type of disrespect especially if we are not together. I allowed it in my bedroom but now, things have changed. She also has to take her position seriously. If and when I find my Luna, she will be the one to be protecting her. That's the role of a Gamma.<br /> "Yup, I got a mission for you. But this is low key." I said glaring at him.<br /> "Okay, whatcha got? !" Jerry said now sounding excited.<br /> "You remember Natalie Adams from the academy? From Christian's Pack." I asked.<br /> "Yeahโฆwho doesn't! She's freaking hot!" He sheepishly replied.<br /> "Watch it! I want you to look into her family background," I said possessively.<br /> He covered his mouth and jokingly said, "Whaaaโฆ? !" I pinched the bridge of my nose and furrowed my brows. "Well can you or can you not! ?" sounding bothered now.<br /> He chuckled, "Of course I can, anything for you bro. Is there something I should be concerned about though or something I am looking for in specific?"<br /> "Have you ever noticed the aura she gives out at times? I sense power and strength like if she comes from a higher rank, but her parents are warriors," I calmly said. It may not be a big deal but I'm curious now.<br /> "I just think there's more than meets the eye with her," I wasn't lying. "She is so different. It's like Camila, she's a Gamma because of her dad, but Natalie seems to be stronger than a Gamma if you get my drift."<br /> "Ah, okay, okay, I get it. I'll get to it. You don't have to explainโฆit makes sense," he said. "This can not leave this room. This is between you and me," I said, trusting him.<br /> The less people know what I do, the better. It may be stupid to others but for me, this is imperative.<br /> "Got it!" Jerry said leaving the room. Jerry is my best tracker and hacker when it comes to technology. He is a genius, very observant, and fast. That is why he is our Delta. | Cra0001 | 35 | https://facebook.com/100091661543152 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Kayan<br /> I was betrayed by two people I trusted implicitly, my best friend and my fiancรฉ, or so i thought.<br /> Without saying a word, I bent down and picked up my phone. By this time Dimitri had donned his boxers and his slim fit navy dress pants. Mariana on the other hand was gripping the white sheet, trying to cover her body and was sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> Normally her tears would have stirred some sort of emotion but I felt absolutely nothing looking at her.<br /> Dimitri stepped towards me with his outstretched hand but I stepped back, and when I spoke my own voice surprised me.<br /> Two words, " How long?". I stared at both of them expectantly. Dimitri sighed and rubbed his face, looking at me with regret.<br /> When no response was forthcoming from him, I turned to Mariana and pinned her with a glare. " Shut up Mariana! I asked a question and I need an answer now!" I shouted.<br /> She pulled her knees to her chest as her body shook in fear, she had only seen me angry once so she knew not to taunt me. Dimitri on the other hand, was stunned.<br /> She looked at me and stuttered in fear " S....si...six months", and hung her head low. I absorbed her reply, laughed hysterically, which caught both of them by surprise. They looked at each other shrugging their shoulders and just as I started laughing suddenly, I stopped abruptly.<br /> "Six months you say? I guess this is the part where you'll say it was a mistake, you never meant to hurt me and you're both sorry right?." I spoke calmly, surprising myself.<br /> Dimitri was first to speak " Kay, please I'm so sorry. We were both tipsy after your work anniversary party,and after I dropped her off, everything went to terrible. I'm so sorry baby but..." I laughed again, cutting him off mid sentence.<br /> I held my hand up then turned to Mariana" What about you bimbo, any last words?" Her eyes bulged in fear and I watched her squirm in fear. She knew I could put a bullet between her eyes even with my eyes closed , thanks to my Dad taking me to the pistol range every Saturday for 2 years.<br /> She sprung to her knees, the sheet fell exposing her and I saw all the hickeys along her neck and on her breasts. "Kay please, let's talk about this. I'm so sorry and I regret this. I'm so sorry for hurting you like this, it wasn't planned."<br /> The nerve of this woman, I thought. I should have listened to my gut all those months ago. She kept thwarting our plans, started traveling a lot and would barely take my video calls then. And she kept changing or bashing my wedding plans and like a fool, I brushed it aside.<br /> Dimitri was the same, one business trip after another, late nights and then he was distant. When I asked him about it, he promised to do better than what he did, but there was a subtle change. We no longer have sleep.<br /> Both of them looked at me expectantly, waiting for the weak, docile Kayan to shed tears and assure them everything would be okay.<br /> I dropped my phone into my bag, grabbed my pistol and clicked the safety off. I swiftly fired two rounds which were followed by agonizing screams. I shot Dimitri in his thigh just inches from his shaft while Mariana got hers in her right shoulder. Just enough to cause pain but not be fatal.<br /> I walked out the room but turned to them saying " That's for the betrayal, I never want to see or hear from either of you again. The next time you won't be so lucky."<br /> I descended the stairs shakily, I touched my face checking for tears but there were none. My chest was convulsing but I refused to give in to the pain I was feeling.<br /> As I got to the last step, I looked around, marched over to the fireplace and threw all photos she had of us together into it. I lifted the stoker, broke her 60" Samsung TV and everything went red from thereon. I trashed her apartment then walked out as if nothing happened.<br /> I grabbed my baseball bat from my trunk, smashed all her windows and doors. Just as I about to leave, I saw Dimitri's Silver Range Rover across the street.<br /> How didn't I notice it before?<br /> I walked up to it and repeated my actions. When I was satisfied, I hopped into my van and drove away.<br /> ---- <br /> Dimitri<br /> I couldn't believe Kayan shot us and simply walked away. I had known her for over 6 years but I never encountered this side of her. I knew I deserved that, worst of all, I ruined the one good thing I had done.<br /> I was thinking with my shaft and not my brain, because in assessing the current situation, Mariana was just a good woman. There is attraction, but the feelings I have for Kayan are deeper.<br /> Her sobs reverberated around the bedroom , bringing me back to the current situation.<br /> When Kayan left the room, I heard her trashing Mariana's apartment downstairs and was about to go after her.<br /> Mariana's words stopped me dead in my tracks, "Leave her be, Dimitri, she will kill you! She needs to calm down first before we approach her." I turned to her slowly, trying to ignore the pain and blood gushing from my wound.<br /> "What do you mean Mari? I'm going after her! There is no us. This was a mistake. I need to talk to her!" I ran my hands over my face then slid my belt around my leg making a tourniquet.<br /> She slid off the bed, gripping the sheet with her uninjured shoulder. " Take it from me, we're lucky to be alive! You have never seen her upset or know what she's capable of in this state but I do!" She tiptoed to the door listening for any further sound from downstairs, but was greeted with silence.<br /> Mariana sat on the stairs shaking and crying while gripping her disheveled hair.<br /> The front door was ajar, I moved to lock it but the sight of Mariana's car took my breath away. I looked across the street to mine and it looked even worst.<br /> I shook my head, sighed and turned too quickly, causing a searing pain in the bullet wound.<br /> I called my driver Michael and told him to be quick and discreet.<br /> Mariana got dressed in the meantime while we waited with bated breaths.<br /> Michael arrived in about 10 minutes, his eyes expressed shock but he knew better than to ask any questions.<br /> He drove us to Wyckoff Medical, the only place I knew would be discreet about what happened.<br /> Using the back entrance, we were quickly ushered into separate rooms for assessment.<br /> As I laid on the bed, I felt Dr. Green prodding my wound for the bullet. He's been our family physician since I was a child, so when he asked who I pissed off this time , I sighed and ignored him.<br /> All I could think about was Kayan, she was my everything!<br /> Not anymore you prick, you screwed up and you're lucky to be alive, I shook my head, trying to shake guilt ridden thoughts from my subconscious.<br /> I reminisced on all the times we spent together, the plans we made for our future and our kids. I reflected on how she supported me even when my own father doubted me. She never gave up on me. You shut up Dimitri!<br /> Dr. Green waved his hand above my eyes while calling my name. " Did you hear anything I said just now?" he asked quietly.<br /> I sighed " No, what is it?". My tone was clipped but right now I didn't care, I could apologize later.<br /> He rolled his eyes before continuing "I said there's a detective waiting outside to talk to you, you know it's my duty to report this." He grabbed a scissors and cut the thread, signaling that he had finished stitching my wound.<br /> "You'll live, but stay off your feet for a few days, and use a crutch if you have to move around." Dr. Green bandaged my leg and was about to leave when I stopped him.<br /> "Wait, I apologize for my behavior Doc. Where's the young lady who came in with me? I need to see her now." He looked at me sadly, shook his head and left the room without a word.<br /> My guess is he figured out why Kayan hadn't rushed into the hospital demanding answers. The realization hit me of how I not only disappointed Kayan but everyone close to me, especially my parents. <br /> I must have dosed off from the pain medication I had gotten as I was woken up by Mariana gently shaking my shoulder and calling my name.<br /> Blinking my eyes to adjust to the bright lights, I grabbed the remote and adjusted my bed. Mariana looked terrible, her hair was unkempt and her eyes were swollen. Her right arm was bandaged and now in a sling.<br /> She sat in the chair beside the bed and hung her head low. " I spoke to the police, I told them we were mugged at the apartment as we were trying to finalize wedding arrangements." It was barely a whisper, but I sighed in relief.<br /> "We messed up but I agree, I'll tell them the same thing. Kayan doesn't deserve this." My throat felt hoarse so I reached for a tumbler with water, poured a cup and took several sips.<br /> " I told you we needed to stop Dimitri but you insisted on coming over!" I pinned her with a glare which caused her to shut up immediately.<br /> The nerve of this woman! I laughed coldly before turning to her " Oh so now it's my fault Mar? Surely you weren't complaining when I rammed your wet dripping private part with my shaft right? You never said stop! Anything else I'm forgetting?" My chest was heaving by the time I finished ranting.<br /> I was about to continue but her sobs erupted. She looked at me lost, guilt etched across her face before she stood to leave.<br /> "Look Mar, I'm sorry okay. I just don't know what to do." I held her wrist, my thumb caressing the inside of her hand in a comforting way. "How did she get in though?"<br /> Mariana was trembling as tears streamed down her face. She took a deep breath before she spoke. "I forgot she had a key from over a year ago. She would always check the place when I traveled for a convention or went to see my family."<br /> My mouth opened to speak but no words were forthcoming and they never came as the door banged open, slamming into the wall denting it.<br /> Jumping with fright, we turned to see my very pissed off father and my distraught mother. Before I could utter a word, he spoke," You, get out now and don't let me see your face again!" Mariana jumped in fear and ran from the room sobbing before I could stop her.<br /> "Dad i can explain...." He slammed his hand onto the small table, knocking the tumbler over.<br /> My mom grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down but he flicked her hand away and grabbed my hospital gown roughly, "Explain what exactly Dimitri? How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> "I'm going to fix this Dad, just give me a chance please." I turned towards my mom seeking support but she turned her head away from me. " Mom, please I'm sorry, I'll fix this. I'm gonna make everything right."<br /> My Dad simply scoffed at my words, took my Mom's hands and walked out the door.<br /> The only sound that filled the room was that of the water droplets bouncing on the floor.<br /> ---- <br /> Mariana<br /> I have never been more regretful in my entire life. My head was throbbing non stop, my eyes were puffy from all the tears I'd shed in the past 24 hours. My mind replayed the events and all I could think of, was that I should be dead by Kayan's hands.<br /> My driver dropped me off to the apartment, and as I stepped inside I once again surveyed the damage. Nothing was left untouched, I had to start over but I guess that's the price to pay for stabbing your best friend in the back for six months.<br /> I wanted to stop so many times, I knew it was wrong but Dimitri was like a spirit I couldn't get enough of.<br /> We decided to take the secret to our graves and everything was going great until I saw him a week later at Danny's Cafe. We sat and talked for a while but after an hour when we attempted to leave, the sexual tension was just too much to ignore.<br /> From thereon, we used our lunch breaks and any free time we could muster to screw each other senseless. After each encounter, we'd say it was the last time , but that never happened as soon after I took trips when he did or he came to my apartment before going home.<br /> All this time, I gave Kayan a million excuses as to why we couldn't meet up, continued planning her wedding virtually and offered excuses when she whined about Dimitri being overly consumed by work.<br /> I even ended things with my own boyfriend as our relationship became strained and miserable because of my infidelity.<br /> Now this is the endgame, I lost my best friend who always stood by me and I'm pretty sure Dimitri and I have no future.<br /> Sitting on the stairs, I decided to take a leap of faith and call Kayan. If I could just get her to listen to me for a second, I would tell her how sorry I am and try to fix things.<br /> As I dialed her number, it went directly to voice-mail, and after trying a few more times unsuccessfully, I decided to go see her. I ordered an Uber, waiting outside for a few minutes before the car pulled up.<br /> I got in, gave the driver her address and stared blankly out the window. The only sounds were that of the music playing in the dashboard.<br /> Ten minutes later, I was standing on the curb outside Kayan's townhouse. Hesitantly, I opened the gate, trudged up the steps and rang the bell. I was there waiting for a few minutes, I called her but there was no response.<br /> I walked to the garden by the lamp post where she always hid a spare key. It was gone.<br /> Just as I was about to step from the yard, I was stopped in my tracks by a faint voice. My hopes increased but when I turned around expecting Kayan, no one was there.<br /> What was that then, I thought to myself.<br /> I reopened the Uber app, placed my request and waited by the curb.<br /> "She's not here you know." I was startled by the voice and was relieved to see her neighbor Michael.<br /> "What do you mean? Where is she?" I asked hurriedly.<br /> He eyed me suspiciously before replying,<br /> "Seeing you here looking like poop tells me you had a role in Kay's sudden departure 2 hours ago." His words were true yet hurtful, I castedmy eyes down in shame.<br /> "You don't know, Mike, just tell me where she went, I need to talk to her before it's too late" I begged him.<br /> The prick was nonchalant as he leant against her gate typing away on his phone. After getting a ping, indicating a message, he looked up at me smirking.<br /> "Well if you must know, my girl left for England indefinitely..." he paused, struggling to hold back a snicker, "...Oh and she says you should go yourself or Dimatro, whatever the pretty boy's name is." Michael was now clutching his side laughing hysterically while I sighed in defeat.<br /> She's gone! And now there's no way I will find her because I can't go to her family and I'm pretty sure she's already changed her number!<br /> I didn't warrant Michael a response since the Uber pulled up, I hopped in and left.<br /> My phone began vibrating in my pocket and I grabbed it quickly, just hoping it would be Kayan. I was disappointed as Dimitri's name flashed on the screen.<br /> "What do you want Dimitri? Haven't we done enough, didn't you hear what your father said?" I shouted angrily, catching sight of the driver's raised brows in the rear view mirror.<br /> "Calm down Mari, I wanted to apologize for my Dad. I'm getting discharged now so I'm heading home, I need to sort things out with Kay." Though I had wanted the same thing minutes ago, I couldn't help the pang of jealousy that gripped me.<br /> Before I could stop myself I snarled in response<br /> "Thanks for asking how I'm doing you prick! Oh and don't bother going there because she's gone!"<br /> "What are you talking about Mari! This is not the time to joke with me..." I'd had enough of his nonsense so I cut him mid sentence " Kay's gone Dimitri, I just left the house, she's not home and her neighbor says she left for England." The other end of the line was silent.<br /> I looked at the screen to see if the call had been disconnected but the line was still open.<br /> "Dimitri?" He sighed in response and I heard him grunt in pain, perhaps moving too quickly on his injured leg.<br /> "I'm here Mari. How will I fix things if I don't know where to find her? Of all the places, she had to chose England!? Couldn't she have just gone to her parents? What am I going to do now?"<br /> I wanted to speak but my throat felt as if it was clogged.<br /> I cut the call, switched to airplane mode and rested my head against the window as fresh salty tears rolled down my cheeks.<br /> I lost everything.<br /> My best friend. Dimitri . And a family who accepted me without judgement and showed me nothing but love all these years. | Lio111 | 16 | https://facebook.com/61554822209907 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

My dad is really mad at you and Raven being mates." Twin sister Reagan said to my mate.<br /> "I don't mind rejecting her, but I would have been embarrassed to face my mate" Justin said.<br /> "My father has decided to appoint me as his future Alpha not my sister Raven. So, I will be your luna." Reagan said to Justin.<br /> ******** <br /> I silently run through the woods letting my wolf Emerald out tonight. She has been anxious all day, well really the last few days, and I could tell that she needed to come out for a run. <br /> Alpha Cole Walker is the Alpha of the Blood Walker pack. He is said to be one of the most dangerous Alphas in the United States. It is said that he would hurt anyone who dared to enter his pack uninvited. Due to this fact, most of our pack members studiously avoid this area altogether.<br /> My twin sister, Reagan, is the golden child of the pack. They all love her unconditionally. She is cherished and appreciated, no matter what she does. They all seem to ignore the fact that she is a horrible and mean she-wolf. I was born first, and with that should come the respect that after I find my mate, I will officially be the Luna here, and he will take over as the Alpha of the pack. Yet they all treat her as the next Luna. <br /> My sister and I are the only children that our parents had. The Goddess never blessed them with another child, even though they tried for years. My father, Alpha Graham Sullivan, is very strict with me. I am not allowed to leave my room other than to eat my meals and then return back to my room again. I am also not allowed to leave our pack for any reason. I have never even crossed the border of the Sliver Blade pack in my life. <br /> I was the Alpha's daughter, but I was not a valued member of this pack. Telling on me has always resulted in a bonus for whoever told on me to my father. I have had to learn how to overcome this on my own. It has made me very independent over the years, as well as a very good climber. I use the tree outside my window at the pack house, to climb up and down to get in and out of my room.<br /> From my vantage point, I can see who is coming now and rolled my eyes so hard I almost saw my brain. It was Reagan, and she was pulling the arm of a pretty large guy, as she headed toward the grassy bank near my tree. I realized right this moment that I have picked a terrible place to hide. I should have doubled back and then climbed in my window to my room and I would have been safe and sound in my room. Reagan is clearly out with one of her many men, as she was allowed to stay out and do whatever she wanted to. I mean how else could she beat me to finding her mate if she didn't flirt with all the unmated men in our pack? I rolled my eyes again and then froze when I looked at them again and got a good look at his face.<br /> That smell coming off of him was starting to drive me wild, he smelled like freshly baked cinnamon buns, and I was now pissed off. She had come here with the guy that I had a crush on, someone with whom she had never shown any interest in before. It was our Beta's son and the guy that I have had a crush on for the last year and a half.<br /> "No, don't stop them, Raven, she has already been dating with him for the last few months. This is not the first time, it has been well before he returned to the pack earlier this week. They are together now, dating, and they have both vowed to reject their actual mates to stay together to take over and run this pack. Please, just try to bear it, I will help you get through it. I am glad that you are in a secure location, this may make you pass out" Emerald linked me, and I felt physically sick.<br /> "How do you know this? Did she know that he is my mate? Why can't I approach him? Maybe he wants me, Emerald. Please let me stop this. He might not know that I am his mate, he may still want me, want US! I don't want to lose him, Emerald. He may not be aware his true mate is here. Can't he already smell our scent up here, like I smelled his scent? Are you sure that this is the only way? Please Emerald" I linked her back, and I feel the tears that are already sliding down my face. I have questions, and I need answers.<br /> I am frustrated. I don't want to give up on my true mate. He doesn't even know that I am here, and I do want him. I don't want to give him up, especially not to my sister Reagan. I don't know if I can survive this level of betrayal.<br /> "I can't wait for mom and dad to announce to the pack that we will be the Alpha and Luna tomorrow. This is something that I have really wanted for the last 8 years. I am so glad you decided that we could be chosen mates. " My sister says to my mate.<br /> "Besides, I am also glad that you are willing to lead the Silver Blade pack with me. I have a feeling that my freak of a sister who keeps staring at you is going to be crushed when she finds out that we are together. You dodged by deciding to accept me as your chosen mate. I know that she has a crush on you, so she would probably try to ask you out or something when she sees that you are back from break." She adds.<br /> "I think we will be so happy together. Raven will be so angry when she finds out that we planned this months ago. I cannot wait for her to find out. I even told mom to have her sit on the front row for the pack meeting tomorrow, so I can see her face when dad makes the announcement. I am going to put her next to you so it will hurt her more when dad calls you up on stage. When she realizes that her crush is going to be my mate, she is going to be so jealous of me. I am so going to get a picture of her face when she finds out, as I will want to remember that moment for a long time" I heard Reagan say to him, and I was so choked up I couldn't hold in the sob of pain that managed to escape.<br /> It wasn't loud, but with werewolf hearing, it was loud enough. I just stayed completely still and prayed that they hadn't heard me, but Justin started talking when my sob escaped, and they had no reaction, so I think I am safe.<br /> "I have always thought that you were a she-wolf, Reagan. I am so glad that you came up to my training with your offer, and for us to get extra special time together. If Raven were allowed to move around the pack, I don't think that she would be missing the fact that she is my mate. I scented her today when I got back to the pack and confirmed she is my mate. Per our agreement, I don't mind rejecting her, as I am clearly getting the better sister out of this deal. I would have been embarrassed to have to call that freak of nature my mate" Justin said, and with it, my heart was completely crushed.<br /> These two evil people deserved each other, and I will not waste another tear on his betrayal. He "chose" her, so he can keep her. She will never be faithful to him, and he will not ever be able to trust that their children are his either. She was just doing this to ensure that they become the next Alpha and Luna. She is what he wanted, so she can have him. I am thoroughly disgusted by both of them, and I will not allow them to make me sad one more day. I had already decided to get out of this horrible pack, and I will not miss the Silver Blade pack for a second. <br /> "She is your mate? Are you serious? Oh, this is the best" Reagan said as she laughed out in joy at hearing this information. "Justin, why haven't you mentioned this to me before?" Reagan continued.<br /> "I just found out about it earlier today as I have been gone for my training for the last 4 months. I caught my mate's scent and followed it so I could go ahead and reject them. I realized it was coming from the Alpha level, and when I went up and it led me straight to her door, it was really faint, but I sensed it. She doesn't even know it yet. I am sure that this information is not going to go over well with your parents. They may be upset when they find out. Are they still going to want us to move forward with our plan? Or are they going to want me and Raven to be mates because we are true mates?" Justin asked Reagan. I have to admit, I was interested in her reply as well, but I already suspected what the answer was going to be.<br /> "Oh no Justin, you will definitely be staying with me. I know dad is really going to get a kick out of you and Raven being mates. Mom might feel a little bad for her, but I think that this is great. I could not be happier that her true mate, will become my chosen mate.<br /> We will rule the Silver Blade pack together, and it will hurt her every day to see us together. It is my pack any way, it was never going to be hers. Maybe if we are lucky since she doesn't have a wolf, she won't be able to scent you, and your rejection might even hurt her when you do it. That would be the best-case scenario for all of us" Reagan said, and I could tell that Justin was a little shocked at how hateful she was. Reagan could tell that Justin was not liking this side of her so she quickly changed her attitude and started cooing at Justin, "She doesn't deserve you, baby, I love you and I want you. Hopefully, you will come to love me too.<br /> I was just worried, I don't want you falling in love with my sister after we have already mated." Reagan said to Justin, looking up at him adoringly through her long lashes. I have to admit, she really knows how to work people to do what she wants them to. Her ability to look innocent and pure is without measure, she could have been an actress.<br /> "Dad hates Raven. He will be very happy about this. He has never loved her since the day that she was born. Mom might be a little upset, but she will get over it. She and dad are chosen mates, she gave up her true mate to become the Luna of the Silver Blade pack. She did it herself, and if it is good enough for her, then it is good enough for me to do it as well. We make the perfect couple. We will have strong pups, and our pack will flourish" Reagan said, and I am stunned. I knew my dad was mean, but to hate me, why? What reason could he possibly have for hating me? My parents have told the whole pack numerous times through the years that they were true mates. They are very affectionate with each other in front of the pack. I didn't even know that they weren't true mates. What else don't I know about them?<br /> "We will do the same thing. You will have to reject Raven first thing in the morning, or after the pack meeting. But you will have to do it where no one else will hear you. Dad is going to tell the pack that we are true mates, so they will fully support us. Dad thinks that it would be a mistake to not have the pack's full support behind us when we go to take it over from my parents" Reagan said, and I am amazed at all the plans that they have kept away from me. Just another thing that shows how much difference there is between Reagan and me. I hear them touching again and wonder when they plan on leaving the area, don't they need to get back to the pack house?<br /> I narrow my eyes at Reagan, as she is ecstatic about getting to truly rub all of my misfortune in right now. Justin is getting the opportunity to reject me, so the situation that we are now in is all positive for them.<br /> "Raven, why are you out of the house? Are you supposed to be out here? Are you OK? That fall looked like it hurt pretty bad" I hear my sister ask me with an innocent look on her face like she cared about me. She was fully aware of how I am kept a prisoner here at the Silver Blade pack. I really have to get out of here. I needed to check and see how badly I am hurt because I don't know if I even have time to go pack a bag now. I may be having to leave here with nothing, but I am OK with that. I just need to get the heck out of here. I will figure out what I need to do after I am safely free of Silver Blade.<br /> "Are you ignoring me, Raven? Are you sure you want to do that to me? Fine then, I will just make sure that you get punished for leaving your room. You are not supposed to be out here anyway. I will just let dad know that you are out here, and he will take care of you" Reagan said with a smirk, and then she started mind linking. <br /> I and my wolf were running away from this pack. But they caught us immediately.<br /> "If you come back here now Raven, I won't punish you for leaving your room without permission" I heard my father tell me. <br /> "Nothing in the world could possess me to do that father," I told him, and I see his eyes glazing over as he goes to link someone. I could care less what they have to say to me, and I turned to walk away. <br /> "You will get punishment in the Blood Walker pack. You know how dangerous they are Raven, you have heard this fact for your whole life. They cannot be trusted, and you are now a rogue. We have told you, and the whole pack, exactly what happens to those who trespass on their land. The moment they scent you they will move in, and you will die today. Is that what you want? Do you want to die? I will get you more freedom in the pack. I will allow you to go to the library every day instead of once a week. How does that sound?" my mother's voice is calming and comforting. She has never before sounded as nice as this, and I know that dad put her up to try to lure me back into the Siler Blade pack. They must be desperate to do it, so I want to see how far they intended to go with it.<br /> "Let me ask you this mother. Was the plan to get Justin to take Reagan as a chosen mate her idea, or dad's?" I asked her. Mom is not a very good liar. I can see her expression as we are only about 20 feet apart from each other right now. <br /> "I don't know what you are talking about Raven, they are mates," my mom said to me, and now I smirk at her. Clearly, mom was keeping me out of the loop and doesn't know that I know for a fact that they aren't.<br /> "Thanks for always lying to me mom. That makes it so much easier on me. I will not be coming back to the Silver Blade pack. This is the last time, Goddess willing, that you all will probably see me and actually I am welcoming the death that is coming to me. It will be better than the life I have lived since Reagan tried to hurt me, and my own dad called me a liar when I told him what actually happened. Justin is not her mate mom, and I know this because he is MY mate. It is disgusting what all you three have done to me and allowed to be done to me my whole life. I never deserved to be treated the way I was. I can only hope that I can find my way and get to live a life that allows me to find someone who loves me and realizes that I am a good person. I don't think that is too much to ask for, do you mom? It seems like you and dad are willing to do anything to get me to come back over the fence, but we both know that if I did come back, I would either immediately be thrown in the cells. So, I will take my chances over here, where at least I have a chance" I told them and turned again to leave. I only made it a few steps before I was stopped again by my father's hateful words.<br /> "You are ungrateful daughter, How do you have the nerve to say that to me? I have clothed and fed you, provided you a room, and let you go to school. I did take care of you, and it is disgusting to see how you repay me. Lying about Justin being your mate. Trying to take your sister's mate away from her. I know that I can speak for your mother as well as myself when I say that we hope the Blood Walker pack disposes of you quickly. I only wish I could punish you myself" my dad roared out, and the hate was coming off of him in waves.<br /> "You disgust me father," I told him and the tone I used to draw out the word father let him know just how little I thought of him being my father. "I have never done anything to cause a problem or disruption in the pack, or in the family. I did what I was told this whole time. Even as knowing that you let the whole pack know that I was fair game if they wanted to hurt me, and they did dad, over and over again. You know what, it was my family that really took the award for the most torment. Your unwarranted hate, mom never supporting me, and my sister allowed to try to hurt me, and incite others up against me made me realize that life will be much better on this side of the border than it was on that side. Even if I only live an hour more, it would be better than the years I spent over there."<br /> I wiped off my tears and walked past them, suddenly, I hear something coming to meโฆ<br /> <br /> <br /> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><br /> Wanna listen more? download our App and check more!

My chin begins to wobble as tears form in my eyes.<br /> I shouldn't be crying, but I know that he won't accept me. I'm ruined ... I'm marked, claimed to be someone elses ...<br /> "Why are you crying?" he inches closer and only stops when he's in front of me. I want to fall into his arms, to beg him not to reject me, to save me, but how can I when I'm claimed ...<br /> "You're going to reject me." my eyes squeeze shut as I suck my lips into my mouth.<br /> "You might be marked, but I can fix that."<br /> "How?" I stare up at him with teary eyes, "We remove it." he shrugs, his eyes filled with lust.<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> JESSICA'S POV<br /> Nick and I have been married for three years, we are high school sweethearts and married when we were twenty when neither of us found our mates. These days, fated mates are rare and hard to come by ... we both agreed I'd be a good Luna to the pack since I trained with him, I learned to be a luna from his mother and we have been inseparable since we were in diapers.<br /> He's my best friend and my true love.<br /> We made a promise to never leave, to never break the bond, to never reject one another when we found our real mates, which is likely to never happen.<br /> We are attending a ball tonight, but my insides are twisted, as if the Moon Goddess herself wants to shield me from whatever is going to happen, I tried to talk Nick into staying at home, but as stubborn like all alpha's are, he refused and said that we would get a bad name if we didn't attend.<br /> Sitting in the car while our driver takes us to a nearby pack, a strong and mighty one.<br /> I know it's our duty to attend, but holding his hand in the back seat, something is terribly wrong.<br /> We arrive and there are a line of cars outside, one by one driving by , guests getting out, wearing gowns and suits.<br /> It's our turn and Nick opens the door, holding his hand out to me and I happily take it as we get out, photos are taken and a red carpet is rolled out as if we were famous.<br /> Nick looks handsome with his dark blonde hair gelled back, his chiseled jaw tense, and the edges of his lips curled up into a small smile.<br /> We arrive inside and we're led to the ballroom, servants with trays walking with snack food and drinks pace all over while the guests stand and chat.<br /> I notice the alpha of The Deep Mountain pack greeting people, making rounds to greet and speak, there's a stage in the middle against the wall, a bar to the side and a dance floor in the middle where couples are dancing elegantly.<br /> I smile at my surroundings and freeze when I look at Nick, staring at a beautiful dark haired girl .<br /> "Nick." I tug at his hand, but it's like he's under a spell, frozen in time as the girl stares back at him.<br /> "Nick." I tug harder, his shoulder shrugging back, "Huh?" he turns to me with a frown, his fingers letting go of my hand and I feel cold.<br /> "I'm going to grab a drink." he smiles at me before walking off towards the bar, closer to the strange woman.<br /> I was an omega and the room is filled with power, I could even feel hers because she is of a higher rank.<br /> I gulp as I watch him walk to the bar, his eyes locked on hers and she elegantly turns in her navy blue dress, walking towards him with dark lustful eyes.<br /> I can't be ... but it is ... it's his mate ..<br /> I stand frozen and a shoulder bumps into me, making my head turn at the woman glaring and snarling, "Watch where you are going!" she scolds and I apologize before walking over to the bar, joining my mate's side while he absentmindedly stares at the woman next to him.<br /> I clear my throat, but there's no response from him.<br /> He doesn't even notice me ..<br /> "Nick." I smile , hope filling my heart as he glances at me, fear flashing through his perfect green orbs as he steps back and then looks at her again.<br /> "Jess, this is Tiffany ... my mate." he smiles awkwardly at me but when he looks at her, it's a genuine smile ...<br /> "Nick." I frown in concern and he takes my hand, giving it a tight squeeze, "Don't worry, I know what to do." he smiles, "Shall we talk outside?" the gloominess in his eyes makes me relax only for a minute until she holds out her hand, smiling gracefully with her full lips and pretty blue eyes.<br /> My heart sinks when her hand hooks into his arm and they head to the balcony. alone ...<br /> I should go with ... but it is a private matter.<br /> 'He's ours...' Zola, my wolf, whimpers.<br /> I stand at the bar, staring carelessly at my mate walking off with his true mate and I inch closer, frowning as every nerve in my body is burning to follow them.<br /> I glance around and there are so many people that they don't even notice until the Luna of the Deep Mountain pack steps closer, "Jessica, is it? From the West Pack?" I nod, trying not to be rude when I look at the balcony and not at her while she speaks to me.<br /> "Oh honey, it's done." she shakes her head and I frown, cocking my head at her in confusion.<br /> "What do you mean?" My eyes stare into her honey ones.<br /> "He found his mate, I'm sorry but it's fated and you are now the other woman." she sighs, glancing at the balcony doors.<br /> I stare at her, my heart racing a million miles an hour and I excuse myself.<br /> I step out of the house, moving around the arriving couples when I feel my heart squeeze, pain taking over and I know what it meant ... Disgust fills me and I start to run, glancing over my shoulder no one notices and I shift, my beautiful pastel pink dress ripping to shreds as I run into the woods.<br /> The pain had stopped, but I did not return home until after midnight, finding Nick sitting on the couch, watching tv.<br /> "Jessica, where have you been?" he stands as I slam the door shut, standing undressed in front of him.<br /> I cross my arms over my chest, glaring at him. "Excuse me?" I shake my head at him, "Where have I been? What have you been doing!" I growl, making his eyes widen in shame and his gaze flicks to the floor when he scratches his nape.<br /> "That's what I thought, you couldn't even resist ten minutes before sleeping her, could you?" I see the pure rage filling me.<br /> "I didn't, I swear..." he promises, but I don't believe him.<br /> Scoffing, I strut past the couch to our room, "Can we talk?" he yells and I turn , "Did you reject her?" I frown and he falls silent, raking a hand through his hair.<br /> "Then no, we can't ." I turn and walk to our room.<br /> He follows me, closing the door behind us, "Jess, I love you. I promise I will reject her, I just ... I couldn't, it's much more difficult than you think." he frowns, explaining himself.<br /> "And will you go and do it?" I grab clothes from the closet, "I will, just ... I need time." he begs and I snort, "Can I come when you do it?" the silence says it all, he doesn't want me there ...<br /> "You're saying you'll do it, but you won't, because you are weak." I tut, shaking my head.<br /> "I will, I just need to distance myself, to keep myself away and then I'll do it when I have the strength to." he explains, his eyes pleading for forgiveness.<br /> I hum, ignoring him as I strut past him toward the bathroom and he reaches for me, grabbing my wrist and I snarl at him, making him let me go instantly, "Don't touch me after sleeping someone else." I grit out, backing up into the bathroom and I slam the door shut, the heavy thud shaking the windows and I lock the door.<br /> I take a hot shower, the water pouring down on me as my back slides down the tiled wall, tears streaming down my face as I weep.<br /> I hear the door handle jiggle and I wipe the fog from the glass door, staring at the handle go up and down as he tries to enter.<br /> I feel a tug at the mind link, but I shut him out.<br /> He disgusts me, he promised, both of us promised one another that we would immediately reject our mates before the bond grew and he is letting it grow, making it ten times more difficult to reject them.<br /> I can't believe I trusted him ... I expose his mark in the crook of my neck, I hold our love dear in my heart and he just let it all go down the drain, letting it sink into the sewers.<br /> I am nothing under his shoe and here I am, still loving him with every breath I take.<br /> After sitting more than an hour under the steaming water, it turns cold and I sit for another half an hour before standing and I shut the water off, taking my time to get dressed and when I stride out in silk booty shorts and a thin strap silk top, I notice how Nick lays in bed, his thumbs circling one another as he stares at the ceiling.<br /> He doesn't even notice me and I am sure he's thinking about her.<br /> The one who stole his heart within a second, the one who is going to steal my life, my bed, my position and my mate.<br /> We are real mates, we accepted one another, we marked each other, we might not be fated, but we are real or we were before her.<br /> ==<br /> My heart starts racing as we head further up the stairs, my pulse is beating in my ears and the musky scent is intensifying. When we reach the top, there's an entire living room in the middle and then two halls, but the scent up here is stronger ... "What's that smell?" I ask Louis without hesitation. He turns to me, his arched brows furrowing together, "The sweaty smell? Must be Nate, my alpha, but please, call him Alpha Nathaniel, he doesn't like strangers calling him Nate, or anyone else. As his best friend, I have perks." he winks at me, his smile so genuine and he seems like a totally different guy in his own pack than what he was at the party.<br /> I wet my lips and it still stings, it's taking forever to heal but I could feel it start from the inside.<br /> "Louis! Have you seen my phone?" Nate's voice comes from the opposite hall. "No, I've been out doing your job!" Louis yells back and the power lingering in the air is suffocating me. I'm stiff and upset about the stupid dress I thought would impress Nick.<br /> "Come.." Louis tugs me down the other hall, away from Alpha Nathaniel and once I enter his room, I'm shook. Everything is so white except for a few decorations. "Wow." I breathe out, his room is bigger than Nick and I's.<br /> He marches over to his closet and grabs a shirt, tossing it at me, "The bathroom is over there." he nods behind me and I turn, smiling before looking over my shoulder at him, "I'll be right back." he struts over to the door and I head inside the bathroom, the white marble walls knock the air right out of my lungs and I stand for two minutes and just look at everything.<br /> The bathtub looks huge, almost like a hot tub, the shower has benches built in and is large with great shower head equipment, the sink is built into a large white counter with beautiful engraved cupboards below it.<br /> I quickly undress and put Louis' white shirt on that fits me like a dress. I drape my dress over my arm and pick up my heels before exiting the bathroom, standing awkwardly looking at the bed ... wondering if he'll come back to peck me ...<br /> I know I shouldn't think of it, but I've been feeling so alone ... It doesn't matter if Nick slept next to me last night, his mind wasn't with me ... he didn't want me in his bed ... he wanted her.<br /> He didn't even come near me when all I wanted was for him to hold me, to tell me I'm still important too ... but he didn't. When he climbed into bed, he turned his back to me and fell asleep, but it seemed forced, like he didn't want to see me at all.<br /> The door opens and Louis stands there, his eyes trailing me standing in his shirt. "You are tiny, aren't you?" he comes inside, holding out his hand and I take it, "Let's get that dress fixed." he grins and leads me down the hall again.<br /> Before taking the first step, a clearing of a throat makes us stop, "Louis, who's this?" Alpha Nathaniel's voice makes a shiver run down my spine and Louis turns first, "Jessica." he smiles and before he could explain anything, I turn, freezing when our eyes lock.<br /> My lips part as I stare into Alpha Nathaniel's beautiful olive orbs, his entire body language changes, his laid back look now tense.<br /> "Mate." he growls lowly and I gasp, fear and excitement mixing inside of me. My stomach flutters and Louis let's go of me, stepping aside, "Nate, I didn't know." he moves away from me and Alpha Nathaniel's eyes lock on my busted lip, his eyes flicking a bright silver as he looks at Louis, "What happened to her lip?" he grits out, anger clear in his tone.<br /> "Her..." , "Wait!" I blurt out, looking at Louis with pleading eyes and Alpha Nathaniel's head snaps to my direction, curiosity visible in his gaze, "Why wait?" Alpha Nathaniel asks, his tone calm when speaking to me.<br /> "I just ... I think I should tell you." I pick at my nails nervously, hoping that he wouldn't reject me.<br /> Louis walks over to me, "Give me the dress, I'll get it cleaned." he smiles and Alpha Nathaniel gives him a weird look as I hand it over.<br /> "Excuse me." Louis mutters before trotting down the stairs, leaving me alone with Alpha Nathaniel.<br /> "So, what happened?" he asks, his muscles tensing. I want to inch closer, every fibre of my being wants to be near him ... but his gaze falls to my neck, looking at the mark embroidered into my flesh.<br /> "My mate his Louis for dancing with me and he accidentally hit me too ... I was in the way." his eyes flash bright, anger written all over his face, "Accidentally?" he frowns, dragging his large veiny hand through his black hair. "Yes, I believe so." I gulp, his aura makes me feel like running away.<br /> "And you have a mate..." his eyes narrow on my mark and I feel the need to just claw it off.<br /> "My mate found his mate and now I'm just ... the luna of our pack." My chin begins to wobble as tears form in my eyes.<br /> I shouldn't be crying, but I know that he won't accept me. I'm ruined ... I'm marked, claimed to be someone elses ...<br /> "Why are you crying?" he inches closer and only stops when he's in front of me. I want to fall into his arms, to beg him not to reject me, to save me, but how can I when I'm claimed ...<br /> "You're going to reject me." my eyes squeeze shut as I suck my lips into my mouth. I flinch as his fingers brush over my cheek, wiping the tears away and sparks erupt in my face, sending a calm sensation down my back.<br /> "You might be marked, but I can fix that." his hand brushes my raven hair back over my shoulder, his thumb dragging over my mark and it slightly stings because he isn't the man who gave it to me ...<br /> "How?" I stare up at him with teary eyes, "We remove it." he shrugs, his eyes filled with lust.<br /> I step back, "How?"<br /> I never heard of a mark being removed ... and if someone did, they sure didn't survive to tell the tale.<br /> "It's a rare ritual, but you seem tough enough." he shrugs, making my blood run cold ... I'm not tough ... I was an omega before being a luna ...<br /> "I was an omega before being a luna." I blurt out, feeling like it's a fact he has to know.<br /> "But you are a luna, it changes your status. Didn't you feel yourself change?" his fingers drag down the side of my arm before he takes my hand and I feel like I might just jump him right here.<br /> "Let's get you out of Louis's shirt ... I know he's kind but you smelling like him pisses me off." his eyes widen, his jaw tense and I follow him without hesitation.<br /> Walking into his room is like walking into a fancy black interior design room, the walls are black, his bedding his black, his cupboards are black ... everything is black with beautiful gold detailing.<br /> "Wow." I breathe out as I absentmindedly march over to the double doors and just open them without asking. I step outside onto the patio, staring at the dark forest that surrounds us. We're far from the ground and I turn, looking at the dark exterior.<br /> Alpha Nathaniel joins me outside with a black t-shirt, not that I expected anything else, "Here, this will suit you much better." he grins, handing me the black shirt. "Where's your bathroom?" he frowns at my question, "Inside." he nods to behind him and I smile up at him, his emerald eyes glistening as he watches me pass him.<br /> I could feel his eyes on me as I disappear into the bathroom and it's even bigger than Louis' ...<br /> I find it extremely weird that the guy who brought me home is my mate's beta ... for Goddess sake ... I thought of pecking him!<br /> I take a few minutes to glance around the bathroom, staring at myself in the full length bathroom mirror across from me.<br /> My lip is almost fully healed at least ...<br /> Nick ... oh Goddess, what do I tell Nick? | Fics101 | 135 | https://facebook.com/61554382746013 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

I stare up at him with teary eyes, "We remove it." he shrugs, his eyes filled with lust.<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> JESSICA'S POV<br /> Nick and I have been married for three years, we are high school sweethearts and married when we were twenty when neither of us found our mates. These days, fated mates are rare and hard to come by ... we both agreed I'd be a good Luna to the pack since I trained with him, I learned to be a luna from his mother and we have been inseparable since we were in diapers.<br /> He's my best friend and my true love.<br /> We made a promise to never leave, to never break the bond, to never reject one another when we found our real mates, which is likely to never happen.<br /> We are attending a ball tonight, but my insides are twisted, as if the Moon Goddess herself wants to shield me from whatever is going to happen, I tried to talk Nick into staying at home, but as stubborn like all alpha's are, he refused and said that we would get a bad name if we didn't attend.<br /> Sitting in the car while our driver takes us to a nearby pack, a strong and mighty one.<br /> I know it's our duty to attend, but holding his hand in the back seat, something is terribly wrong.<br /> We arrive and there are a line of cars outside, one by one driving by , guests getting out, wearing gowns and suits.<br /> It's our turn and Nick opens the door, holding his hand out to me and I happily take it as we get out, photos are taken and a red carpet is rolled out as if we were famous.<br /> Nick looks handsome with his dark blonde hair gelled back, his chiseled jaw tense, and the edges of his lips curled up into a small smile.<br /> We arrive inside and we're led to the ballroom, servants with trays walking with snack food and drinks pace all over while the guests stand and chat.<br /> I notice the alpha of The Deep Mountain pack greeting people, making rounds to greet and speak, there's a stage in the middle against the wall, a bar to the side and a dance floor in the middle where couples are dancing elegantly.<br /> I smile at my surroundings and freeze when I look at Nick, staring at a beautiful dark haired girl .<br /> "Nick." I tug at his hand, but it's like he's under a spell, frozen in time as the girl stares back at him.<br /> "Nick." I tug harder, his shoulder shrugging back, "Huh?" he turns to me with a frown, his fingers letting go of my hand and I feel cold.<br /> "I'm going to grab a drink." he smiles at me before walking off towards the bar, closer to the strange woman.<br /> I was an omega and the room is filled with power, I could even feel hers because she is of a higher rank.<br /> I gulp as I watch him walk to the bar, his eyes locked on hers and she elegantly turns in her navy blue dress, walking towards him with dark lustful eyes.<br /> I can't be ... but it is ... it's his mate ..<br /> I stand frozen and a shoulder bumps into me, making my head turn at the woman glaring and snarling, "Watch where you are going!" she scolds and I apologize before walking over to the bar, joining my mate's side while he absentmindedly stares at the woman next to him.<br /> I clear my throat, but there's no response from him.<br /> He doesn't even notice me ..<br /> "Nick." I smile , hope filling my heart as he glances at me, fear flashing through his perfect green orbs as he steps back and then looks at her again.<br /> "Jess, this is Tiffany ... my mate." he smiles awkwardly at me but when he looks at her, it's a genuine smile ...<br /> "Nick." I frown in concern and he takes my hand, giving it a tight squeeze, "Don't worry, I know what to do." he smiles, "Shall we talk outside?" the gloominess in his eyes makes me relax only for a minute until she holds out her hand, smiling gracefully with her full lips and pretty blue eyes.<br /> My heart sinks when her hand hooks into his arm and they head to the balcony. alone ...<br /> I should go with ... but it is a private matter.<br /> 'He's ours...' Zola, my wolf, whimpers.<br /> I stand at the bar, staring carelessly at my mate walking off with his true mate and I inch closer, frowning as every nerve in my body is burning to follow them.<br /> I glance around and there are so many people that they don't even notice until the Luna of the Deep Mountain pack steps closer, "Jessica, is it? From the West Pack?" I nod, trying not to be rude when I look at the balcony and not at her while she speaks to me.<br /> "Oh honey, it's done." she shakes her head and I frown, cocking my head at her in confusion.<br /> "What do you mean?" My eyes stare into her honey ones.<br /> "He found his mate, I'm sorry but it's fated and you are now the other woman." she sighs, glancing at the balcony doors.<br /> I stare at her, my heart racing a million miles an hour and I excuse myself.<br /> I step out of the house, moving around the arriving couples when I feel my heart squeeze, pain taking over and I know what it meant ... Disgust fills me and I start to run, glancing over my shoulder no one notices and I shift, my beautiful pastel pink dress ripping to shreds as I run into the woods.<br /> The pain had stopped, but I did not return home until after midnight, finding Nick sitting on the couch, watching tv.<br /> "Jessica, where have you been?" he stands as I slam the door shut, standing undressed in front of him.<br /> I cross my arms over my chest, glaring at him. "Excuse me?" I shake my head at him, "Where have I been? What have you been doing!" I growl, making his eyes widen in shame and his gaze flicks to the floor when he scratches his nape.<br /> "That's what I thought, you couldn't even resist ten minutes before sleeping her, could you?" I see the pure rage filling me.<br /> "I didn't, I swear..." he promises, but I don't believe him.<br /> Scoffing, I strut past the couch to our room, "Can we talk?" he yells and I turn , "Did you reject her?" I frown and he falls silent, raking a hand through his hair.<br /> "Then no, we can't ." I turn and walk to our room.<br /> He follows me, closing the door behind us, "Jess, I love you. I promise I will reject her, I just ... I couldn't, it's much more difficult than you think." he frowns, explaining himself.<br /> "And will you go and do it?" I grab clothes from the closet, "I will, just ... I need time." he begs and I snort, "Can I come when you do it?" the silence says it all, he doesn't want me there ...<br /> "You're saying you'll do it, but you won't, because you are weak." I tut, shaking my head.<br /> "I will, I just need to distance myself, to keep myself away and then I'll do it when I have the strength to." he explains, his eyes pleading for forgiveness.<br /> I hum, ignoring him as I strut past him toward the bathroom and he reaches for me, grabbing my wrist and I snarl at him, making him let me go instantly, "Don't touch me after sleeping someone else." I grit out, backing up into the bathroom and I slam the door shut, the heavy thud shaking the windows and I lock the door.<br /> I take a hot shower, the water pouring down on me as my back slides down the tiled wall, tears streaming down my face as I weep.<br /> I hear the door handle jiggle and I wipe the fog from the glass door, staring at the handle go up and down as he tries to enter.<br /> I feel a tug at the mind link, but I shut him out.<br /> He disgusts me, he promised, both of us promised one another that we would immediately reject our mates before the bond grew and he is letting it grow, making it ten times more difficult to reject them.<br /> I can't believe I trusted him ... I expose his mark in the crook of my neck, I hold our love dear in my heart and he just let it all go down the drain, letting it sink into the sewers.<br /> I am nothing under his shoe and here I am, still loving him with every breath I take.<br /> After sitting more than an hour under the steaming water, it turns cold and I sit for another half an hour before standing and I shut the water off, taking my time to get dressed and when I stride out in silk booty shorts and a thin strap silk top, I notice how Nick lays in bed, his thumbs circling one another as he stares at the ceiling.<br /> He doesn't even notice me and I am sure he's thinking about her.<br /> The one who stole his heart within a second, the one who is going to steal my life, my bed, my position and my mate.<br /> We are real mates, we accepted one another, we marked each other, we might not be fated, but we are real or we were before her.<br /> ==<br /> My heart starts racing as we head further up the stairs, my pulse is beating in my ears and the musky scent is intensifying. When we reach the top, there's an entire living room in the middle and then two halls, but the scent up here is stronger ... "What's that smell?" I ask Louis without hesitation. He turns to me, his arched brows furrowing together, "The sweaty smell? Must be Nate, my alpha, but please, call him Alpha Nathaniel, he doesn't like strangers calling him Nate, or anyone else. As his best friend, I have perks." he winks at me, his smile so genuine and he seems like a totally different guy in his own pack than what he was at the party.<br /> I wet my lips and it still stings, it's taking forever to heal but I could feel it start from the inside.<br /> "Louis! Have you seen my phone?" Nate's voice comes from the opposite hall. "No, I've been out doing your job!" Louis yells back and the power lingering in the air is suffocating me. I'm stiff and upset about the stupid dress I thought would impress Nick.<br /> "Come.." Louis tugs me down the other hall, away from Alpha Nathaniel and once I enter his room, I'm shook. Everything is so white except for a few decorations. "Wow." I breathe out, his room is bigger than Nick and I's.<br /> He marches over to his closet and grabs a shirt, tossing it at me, "The bathroom is over there." he nods behind me and I turn, smiling before looking over my shoulder at him, "I'll be right back." he struts over to the door and I head inside the bathroom, the white marble walls knock the air right out of my lungs and I stand for two minutes and just look at everything.<br /> The bathtub looks huge, almost like a hot tub, the shower has benches built in and is large with great shower head equipment, the sink is built into a large white counter with beautiful engraved cupboards below it.<br /> I quickly undress and put Louis' white shirt on that fits me like a dress. I drape my dress over my arm and pick up my heels before exiting the bathroom, standing awkwardly looking at the bed ... wondering if he'll come back to peck me ...<br /> I know I shouldn't think of it, but I've been feeling so alone ... It doesn't matter if Nick slept next to me last night, his mind wasn't with me ... he didn't want me in his bed ... he wanted her.<br /> He didn't even come near me when all I wanted was for him to hold me, to tell me I'm still important too ... but he didn't. When he climbed into bed, he turned his back to me and fell asleep, but it seemed forced, like he didn't want to see me at all.<br /> The door opens and Louis stands there, his eyes trailing me standing in his shirt. "You are tiny, aren't you?" he comes inside, holding out his hand and I take it, "Let's get that dress fixed." he grins and leads me down the hall again.<br /> Before taking the first step, a clearing of a throat makes us stop, "Louis, who's this?" Alpha Nathaniel's voice makes a shiver run down my spine and Louis turns first, "Jessica." he smiles and before he could explain anything, I turn, freezing when our eyes lock.<br /> My lips part as I stare into Alpha Nathaniel's beautiful olive orbs, his entire body language changes, his laid back look now tense.<br /> "Mate." he growls lowly and I gasp, fear and excitement mixing inside of me. My stomach flutters and Louis let's go of me, stepping aside, "Nate, I didn't know." he moves away from me and Alpha Nathaniel's eyes lock on my busted lip, his eyes flicking a bright silver as he looks at Louis, "What happened to her lip?" he grits out, anger clear in his tone.<br /> "Her..." , "Wait!" I blurt out, looking at Louis with pleading eyes and Alpha Nathaniel's head snaps to my direction, curiosity visible in his gaze, "Why wait?" Alpha Nathaniel asks, his tone calm when speaking to me.<br /> "I just ... I think I should tell you." I pick at my nails nervously, hoping that he wouldn't reject me.<br /> Louis walks over to me, "Give me the dress, I'll get it cleaned." he smiles and Alpha Nathaniel gives him a weird look as I hand it over.<br /> "Excuse me." Louis mutters before trotting down the stairs, leaving me alone with Alpha Nathaniel.<br /> "So, what happened?" he asks, his muscles tensing. I want to inch closer, every fibre of my being wants to be near him ... but his gaze falls to my neck, looking at the mark embroidered into my flesh.<br /> "My mate his Louis for dancing with me and he accidentally hit me too ... I was in the way." his eyes flash bright, anger written all over his face, "Accidentally?" he frowns, dragging his large veiny hand through his black hair. "Yes, I believe so." I gulp, his aura makes me feel like running away.<br /> "And you have a mate..." his eyes narrow on my mark and I feel the need to just claw it off.<br /> "My mate found his mate and now I'm just ... the luna of our pack." My chin begins to wobble as tears form in my eyes.<br /> I shouldn't be crying, but I know that he won't accept me. I'm ruined ... I'm marked, claimed to be someone elses ...<br /> "Why are you crying?" he inches closer and only stops when he's in front of me. I want to fall into his arms, to beg him not to reject me, to save me, but how can I when I'm claimed ...<br /> "You're going to reject me." my eyes squeeze shut as I suck my lips into my mouth. I flinch as his fingers brush over my cheek, wiping the tears away and sparks erupt in my face, sending a calm sensation down my back.<br /> "You might be marked, but I can fix that." his hand brushes my raven hair back over my shoulder, his thumb dragging over my mark and it slightly stings because he isn't the man who gave it to me ...<br /> "How?"

I'm not tough ... I was an omega before being a luna ...<br /> "I was an omega before being a luna." I blurt out, feeling like it's a fact he has to know.<br /> "But you are a luna, it changes your status. Didn't you feel yourself change?" his fingers drag down the side of my arm before he takes my hand and I feel like I might just jump him right here.<br /> "Let's get you out of Louis's shirt ...

How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Kayan<br /> I was betrayed by two people I trusted implicitly, my best friend and my fiancรฉ, or so i thought.<br /> Without saying a word, I bent down and picked up my phone. By this time Dimitri had donned his boxers and his slim fit navy dress pants. Mariana on the other hand was gripping the white sheet, trying to cover her body and was sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> Normally her tears would have stirred some sort of emotion but I felt absolutely nothing looking at her.<br /> Dimitri stepped towards me with his outstretched hand but I stepped back, and when I spoke my own voice surprised me.<br /> Two words, " How long?". I stared at both of them expectantly. Dimitri sighed and rubbed his face, looking at me with regret.<br /> When no response was forthcoming from him, I turned to Mariana and pinned her with a glare. " Shut up Mariana! I asked a question and I need an answer now!" I shouted.<br /> She pulled her knees to her chest as her body shook in fear, she had only seen me angry once so she knew not to taunt me. Dimitri on the other hand, was stunned.<br /> She looked at me and stuttered in fear " S....si...six months", and hung her head low. I absorbed her reply, laughed hysterically, which caught both of them by surprise. They looked at each other shrugging their shoulders and just as I started laughing suddenly, I stopped abruptly.<br /> "Six months you say? I guess this is the part where you'll say it was a mistake, you never meant to hurt me and you're both sorry right?." I spoke calmly, surprising myself.<br /> Dimitri was first to speak " Kay, please I'm so sorry. We were both tipsy after your work anniversary party,and after I dropped her off, everything went to terrible. I'm so sorry baby but..." I laughed again, cutting him off mid sentence.<br /> I held my hand up then turned to Mariana" What about you bimbo, any last words?" Her eyes bulged in fear and I watched her squirm in fear. She knew I could put a bullet between her eyes even with my eyes closed , thanks to my Dad taking me to the pistol range every Saturday for 2 years.<br /> She sprung to her knees, the sheet fell exposing her and I saw all the hickeys along her neck and on her breasts. "Kay please, let's talk about this. I'm so sorry and I regret this. I'm so sorry for hurting you like this, it wasn't planned."<br /> The nerve of this woman, I thought. I should have listened to my gut all those months ago. She kept thwarting our plans, started traveling a lot and would barely take my video calls then. And she kept changing or bashing my wedding plans and like a fool, I brushed it aside.<br /> Dimitri was the same, one business trip after another, late nights and then he was distant. When I asked him about it, he promised to do better than what he did, but there was a subtle change. We no longer have sleep.<br /> Both of them looked at me expectantly, waiting for the weak, docile Kayan to shed tears and assure them everything would be okay.<br /> I dropped my phone into my bag, grabbed my pistol and clicked the safety off. I swiftly fired two rounds which were followed by agonizing screams. I shot Dimitri in his thigh just inches from his shaft while Mariana got hers in her right shoulder. Just enough to cause pain but not be fatal.<br /> I walked out the room but turned to them saying " That's for the betrayal, I never want to see or hear from either of you again. The next time you won't be so lucky."<br /> I descended the stairs shakily, I touched my face checking for tears but there were none. My chest was convulsing but I refused to give in to the pain I was feeling.<br /> As I got to the last step, I looked around, marched over to the fireplace and threw all photos she had of us together into it. I lifted the stoker, broke her 60" Samsung TV and everything went red from thereon. I trashed her apartment then walked out as if nothing happened.<br /> I grabbed my baseball bat from my trunk, smashed all her windows and doors. Just as I about to leave, I saw Dimitri's Silver Range Rover across the street.<br /> How didn't I notice it before?<br /> I walked up to it and repeated my actions. When I was satisfied, I hopped into my van and drove away.<br /> ---- <br /> Dimitri<br /> I couldn't believe Kayan shot us and simply walked away. I had known her for over 6 years but I never encountered this side of her. I knew I deserved that, worst of all, I ruined the one good thing I had done.<br /> I was thinking with my shaft and not my brain, because in assessing the current situation, Mariana was just a good woman. There is attraction, but the feelings I have for Kayan are deeper.<br /> Her sobs reverberated around the bedroom , bringing me back to the current situation.<br /> When Kayan left the room, I heard her trashing Mariana's apartment downstairs and was about to go after her.<br /> Mariana's words stopped me dead in my tracks, "Leave her be, Dimitri, she will kill you! She needs to calm down first before we approach her." I turned to her slowly, trying to ignore the pain and blood gushing from my wound.<br /> "What do you mean Mari? I'm going after her! There is no us. This was a mistake. I need to talk to her!" I ran my hands over my face then slid my belt around my leg making a tourniquet.<br /> She slid off the bed, gripping the sheet with her uninjured shoulder. " Take it from me, we're lucky to be alive! You have never seen her upset or know what she's capable of in this state but I do!" She tiptoed to the door listening for any further sound from downstairs, but was greeted with silence.<br /> Mariana sat on the stairs shaking and crying while gripping her disheveled hair.<br /> The front door was ajar, I moved to lock it but the sight of Mariana's car took my breath away. I looked across the street to mine and it looked even worst.<br /> I shook my head, sighed and turned too quickly, causing a searing pain in the bullet wound.<br /> I called my driver Michael and told him to be quick and discreet.<br /> Mariana got dressed in the meantime while we waited with bated breaths.<br /> Michael arrived in about 10 minutes, his eyes expressed shock but he knew better than to ask any questions.<br /> He drove us to Wyckoff Medical, the only place I knew would be discreet about what happened.<br /> Using the back entrance, we were quickly ushered into separate rooms for assessment.<br /> As I laid on the bed, I felt Dr. Green prodding my wound for the bullet. He's been our family physician since I was a child, so when he asked who I pissed off this time , I sighed and ignored him.<br /> All I could think about was Kayan, she was my everything!<br /> Not anymore you prick, you screwed up and you're lucky to be alive, I shook my head, trying to shake guilt ridden thoughts from my subconscious.<br /> I reminisced on all the times we spent together, the plans we made for our future and our kids. I reflected on how she supported me even when my own father doubted me. She never gave up on me. You shut up Dimitri!<br /> Dr. Green waved his hand above my eyes while calling my name. " Did you hear anything I said just now?" he asked quietly.<br /> I sighed " No, what is it?". My tone was clipped but right now I didn't care, I could apologize later.<br /> He rolled his eyes before continuing "I said there's a detective waiting outside to talk to you, you know it's my duty to report this." He grabbed a scissors and cut the thread, signaling that he had finished stitching my wound.<br /> "You'll live, but stay off your feet for a few days, and use a crutch if you have to move around." Dr. Green bandaged my leg and was about to leave when I stopped him.<br /> "Wait, I apologize for my behavior Doc. Where's the young lady who came in with me? I need to see her now." He looked at me sadly, shook his head and left the room without a word.<br /> My guess is he figured out why Kayan hadn't rushed into the hospital demanding answers. The realization hit me of how I not only disappointed Kayan but everyone close to me, especially my parents. <br /> I must have dosed off from the pain medication I had gotten as I was woken up by Mariana gently shaking my shoulder and calling my name.<br /> Blinking my eyes to adjust to the bright lights, I grabbed the remote and adjusted my bed. Mariana looked terrible, her hair was unkempt and her eyes were swollen. Her right arm was bandaged and now in a sling.<br /> She sat in the chair beside the bed and hung her head low. " I spoke to the police, I told them we were mugged at the apartment as we were trying to finalize wedding arrangements." It was barely a whisper, but I sighed in relief.<br /> "We messed up but I agree, I'll tell them the same thing. Kayan doesn't deserve this." My throat felt hoarse so I reached for a tumbler with water, poured a cup and took several sips.<br /> " I told you we needed to stop Dimitri but you insisted on coming over!" I pinned her with a glare which caused her to shut up immediately.<br /> The nerve of this woman! I laughed coldly before turning to her " Oh so now it's my fault Mar? Surely you weren't complaining when I rammed your wet dripping private part with my shaft right? You never said stop! Anything else I'm forgetting?" My chest was heaving by the time I finished ranting.<br /> I was about to continue but her sobs erupted. She looked at me lost, guilt etched across her face before she stood to leave.<br /> "Look Mar, I'm sorry okay. I just don't know what to do." I held her wrist, my thumb caressing the inside of her hand in a comforting way. "How did she get in though?"<br /> Mariana was trembling as tears streamed down her face. She took a deep breath before she spoke. "I forgot she had a key from over a year ago. She would always check the place when I traveled for a convention or went to see my family."<br /> My mouth opened to speak but no words were forthcoming and they never came as the door banged open, slamming into the wall denting it.<br /> Jumping with fright, we turned to see my very pissed off father and my distraught mother. Before I could utter a word, he spoke," You, get out now and don't let me see your face again!" Mariana jumped in fear and ran from the room sobbing before I could stop her.<br /> "Dad i can explain...." He slammed his hand onto the small table, knocking the tumbler over.<br /> My mom grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down but he flicked her hand away and grabbed my hospital gown roughly, "Explain what exactly Dimitri? How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> "I'm going to fix this Dad, just give me a chance please." I turned towards my mom seeking support but she turned her head away from me. " Mom, please I'm sorry, I'll fix this. I'm gonna make everything right."<br /> My Dad simply scoffed at my words, took my Mom's hands and walked out the door.<br /> The only sound that filled the room was that of the water droplets bouncing on the floor.<br /> ---- <br /> Mariana<br /> I have never been more regretful in my entire life. My head was throbbing non stop, my eyes were puffy from all the tears I'd shed in the past 24 hours. My mind replayed the events and all I could think of, was that I should be dead by Kayan's hands.<br /> My driver dropped me off to the apartment, and as I stepped inside I once again surveyed the damage. Nothing was left untouched, I had to start over but I guess that's the price to pay for stabbing your best friend in the back for six months.<br /> I wanted to stop so many times, I knew it was wrong but Dimitri was like a spirit I couldn't get enough of.<br /> We decided to take the secret to our graves and everything was going great until I saw him a week later at Danny's Cafe. We sat and talked for a while but after an hour when we attempted to leave, the sexual tension was just too much to ignore.<br /> From thereon, we used our lunch breaks and any free time we could muster to screw each other senseless. After each encounter, we'd say it was the last time , but that never happened as soon after I took trips when he did or he came to my apartment before going home.<br /> All this time, I gave Kayan a million excuses as to why we couldn't meet up, continued planning her wedding virtually and offered excuses when she whined about Dimitri being overly consumed by work.<br /> I even ended things with my own boyfriend as our relationship became strained and miserable because of my infidelity.<br /> Now this is the endgame, I lost my best friend who always stood by me and I'm pretty sure Dimitri and I have no future.<br /> Sitting on the stairs, I decided to take a leap of faith and call Kayan. If I could just get her to listen to me for a second, I would tell her how sorry I am and try to fix things.<br /> As I dialed her number, it went directly to voice-mail, and after trying a few more times unsuccessfully, I decided to go see her. I ordered an Uber, waiting outside for a few minutes before the car pulled up.<br /> I got in, gave the driver her address and stared blankly out the window. The only sounds were that of the music playing in the dashboard.<br /> Ten minutes later, I was standing on the curb outside Kayan's townhouse. Hesitantly, I opened the gate, trudged up the steps and rang the bell. I was there waiting for a few minutes, I called her but there was no response.<br /> I walked to the garden by the lamp post where she always hid a spare key. It was gone.<br /> Just as I was about to step from the yard, I was stopped in my tracks by a faint voice. My hopes increased but when I turned around expecting Kayan, no one was there.<br /> What was that then, I thought to myself.<br /> I reopened the Uber app, placed my request and waited by the curb.<br /> "She's not here you know." I was startled by the voice and was relieved to see her neighbor Michael.<br /> "What do you mean? Where is she?" I asked hurriedly.<br /> He eyed me suspiciously before replying,<br /> "Seeing you here looking like poop tells me you had a role in Kay's sudden departure 2 hours ago." His words were true yet hurtful, I castedmy eyes down in shame.<br /> "You don't know, Mike, just tell me where she went, I need to talk to her before it's too late" I begged him.<br /> The prick was nonchalant as he leant against her gate typing away on his phone. After getting a ping, indicating a message, he looked up at me smirking.<br /> "Well if you must know, my girl left for England indefinitely..." he paused, struggling to hold back a snicker, "...Oh and she says you should go yourself or Dimatro, whatever the pretty boy's name is." Michael was now clutching his side laughing hysterically while I sighed in defeat.<br /> She's gone! And now there's no way I will find her because I can't go to her family and I'm pretty sure she's already changed her number!<br /> I didn't warrant Michael a response since the Uber pulled up, I hopped in and left.<br /> My phone began vibrating in my pocket and I grabbed it quickly, just hoping it would be Kayan. I was disappointed as Dimitri's name flashed on the screen.<br /> "What do you want Dimitri? Haven't we done enough, didn't you hear what your father said?" I shouted angrily, catching sight of the driver's raised brows in the rear view mirror.<br /> "Calm down Mari, I wanted to apologize for my Dad. I'm getting discharged now so I'm heading home, I need to sort things out with Kay." Though I had wanted the same thing minutes ago, I couldn't help the pang of jealousy that gripped me.<br /> Before I could stop myself I snarled in response<br /> "Thanks for asking how I'm doing you prick! Oh and don't bother going there because she's gone!"<br /> "What are you talking about Mari! This is not the time to joke with me..." I'd had enough of his nonsense so I cut him mid sentence " Kay's gone Dimitri, I just left the house, she's not home and her neighbor says she left for England." The other end of the line was silent.<br /> I looked at the screen to see if the call had been disconnected but the line was still open.<br /> "Dimitri?" He sighed in response and I heard him grunt in pain, perhaps moving too quickly on his injured leg.<br /> "I'm here Mari. How will I fix things if I don't know where to find her? Of all the places, she had to chose England!? Couldn't she have just gone to her parents? What am I going to do now?"<br /> I wanted to speak but my throat felt as if it was clogged.<br /> I cut the call, switched to airplane mode and rested my head against the window as fresh salty tears rolled down my cheeks.<br /> I lost everything.<br /> My best friend. Dimitri . And a family who accepted me without judgement and showed me nothing but love all these years. | Lio111 | 16 | https://facebook.com/61554822209907 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

How you slept with your fiancรฉeโs best friend for 6 months and she caught you in the act?"<br /> I knew better than to speak so I just hung my head low as he ranted on.<br /> "I hope it was worth it because you lost the best woman you ever had and now you may just lose the company if this gets out and starts a scandal!"<br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> Kayan<br /> I was betrayed by two people I trusted implicitly, my best friend and my fiancรฉ, or so i thought.<br /> Without saying a word, I bent down and picked up my phone. By this time Dimitri had donned his boxers and his slim fit navy dress pants. Mariana on the other hand was gripping the white sheet, trying to cover her body and was sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> Normally her tears would have stirred some sort of emotion but I felt absolutely nothing looking at her.<br /> Dimitri stepped towards me with his outstretched hand but I stepped back, and when I spoke my own voice surprised me.<br /> Two words, " How long?". I stared at both of them expectantly. Dimitri sighed and rubbed his face, looking at me with regret.<br /> When no response was forthcoming from him, I turned to Mariana and pinned her with a glare. " Shut up Mariana! I asked a question and I need an answer now!" I shouted.<br /> She pulled her knees to her chest as her body shook in fear, she had only seen me angry once so she knew not to taunt me. Dimitri on the other hand, was stunned.<br /> She looked at me and stuttered in fear " S....si...six months", and hung her head low. I absorbed her reply, laughed hysterically, which caught both of them by surprise. They looked at each other shrugging their shoulders and just as I started laughing suddenly, I stopped abruptly.<br /> "Six months you say? I guess this is the part where you'll say it was a mistake, you never meant to hurt me and you're both sorry right?." I spoke calmly, surprising myself.<br /> Dimitri was first to speak " Kay, please I'm so sorry. We were both tipsy after your work anniversary party,and after I dropped her off, everything went to terrible. I'm so sorry baby but..." I laughed again, cutting him off mid sentence.<br /> I held my hand up then turned to Mariana" What about you bimbo, any last words?" Her eyes bulged in fear and I watched her squirm in fear. She knew I could put a bullet between her eyes even with my eyes closed , thanks to my Dad taking me to the pistol range every Saturday for 2 years.<br /> She sprung to her knees, the sheet fell exposing her and I saw all the hickeys along her neck and on her breasts. "Kay please, let's talk about this. I'm so sorry and I regret this. I'm so sorry for hurting you like this, it wasn't planned."<br /> The nerve of this woman, I thought. I should have listened to my gut all those months ago. She kept thwarting our plans, started traveling a lot and would barely take my video calls then. And she kept changing or bashing my wedding plans and like a fool, I brushed it aside.<br /> Dimitri was the same, one business trip after another, late nights and then he was distant. When I asked him about it, he promised to do better than what he did, but there was a subtle change. We no longer have sleep.<br /> Both of them looked at me expectantly, waiting for the weak, docile Kayan to shed tears and assure them everything would be okay.<br /> I dropped my phone into my bag, grabbed my pistol and clicked the safety off. I swiftly fired two rounds which were followed by agonizing screams. I shot Dimitri in his thigh just inches from his shaft while Mariana got hers in her right shoulder. Just enough to cause pain but not be fatal.<br /> I walked out the room but turned to them saying " That's for the betrayal, I never want to see or hear from either of you again. The next time you won't be so lucky."<br /> I descended the stairs shakily, I touched my face checking for tears but there were none. My chest was convulsing but I refused to give in to the pain I was feeling.<br /> As I got to the last step, I looked around, marched over to the fireplace and threw all photos she had of us together into it. I lifted the stoker, broke her 60" Samsung TV and everything went red from thereon. I trashed her apartment then walked out as if nothing happened.<br /> I grabbed my baseball bat from my trunk, smashed all her windows and doors. Just as I about to leave, I saw Dimitri's Silver Range Rover across the street.<br /> How didn't I notice it before?<br /> I walked up to it and repeated my actions. When I was satisfied, I hopped into my van and drove away.<br /> ---- <br /> Dimitri<br /> I couldn't believe Kayan shot us and simply walked away. I had known her for over 6 years but I never encountered this side of her. I knew I deserved that, worst of all, I ruined the one good thing I had done.<br /> I was thinking with my shaft and not my brain, because in assessing the current situation, Mariana was just a good woman.

What am I going to do now?"<br /> I wanted to speak but my throat felt as if it was clogged.<br /> I cut the call, switched to airplane mode and rested my head against the window as fresh salty tears rolled down my cheeks.<br /> I lost everything.<br /> My best friend. Dimitri . And a family who accepted me without judgement and showed me nothing but love all these years. | Wha002 | 29 | https://facebook.com/61554783541379 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

"<br /> "Elliot, what's going on?" I look at him, then at her, and back at him.<br /> He quickly stands up from his seat. "She was just leaving. Weren't you, Clara?<br /> She bats her eyelashes rapidly. "Honey, I think it's time for her to learn the truth. Don't you agree?"<br /> Clara laughs, looking at me. "I'm the woman who slept with him yesterday and the days before."<br /> "Taylor, please let me explain." He has the nerve to plead with me, after what he did.<br /> No. I won't stay here and listen as he tries to find an excuse for what he did. <br /> "Taylor, please. I want to talk to you." He tries again.<br /> "There's nothing to talk about" I snap at him.<br /> <br /> โโโโโโโโ<br /> <br /> I take the stairs to go to my apartment. Iโm so lost in my thoughts, that I donโt pay any attention to my surroundings.<br /> "Watch it!โ Someone warns me.<br /> I look up, and a man that I have never seen before is standing right in front of me. He has dark hair cut in a military style and deep blue eyes. I see tattoos on his neck that seem to go all the way down to his torso. I canโt help, but think how handsome he is. I take a step back to put some distance between us.<br /> He must be my new neighbour.<br /> I smile as I present my hand to him. โHello, my name is Taylor Walker. Whatโs yourโs?โ<br /> He glares at me as if Iโm already a nuisance to him. โAnnoyed.โ He let out as he walks past me.<br /> Rude! I say to myself before I keep walking up the stairs.<br /> I unlock the door with my keys and look through my mail. โBills. Bills. Bills.โ I mumble to myself.<br /> I will deal with them later. Right now, all I want is to take a cup of coffee before I put myself pretty for my date with Elliot.<br /> I donโt smoke or drink. My only dope is coffee. I need at least four cups per day, and thatโs when I have a good day.<br /> As I make a cup of coffee for myself, I take a disposable cup to make another one. I donโt know why I even bother with this. So why am I purring a second cup for a man I donโt even know, is beyond me.<br /> Okay, Iโll admit. I didnโt like our first encounter.<br /> I wonder if he takes sugar or milk. He seems like a man that likes his coffee black.<br /> I bite my lips nervously as I pass my threshold.<br /> Why am I doing this again? I ask myself on the way to his apartment.<br /> I know where he leaves. Heโs my next-door neighbour.<br /> I clear my throat as I knock on his door.<br /> No response.<br /> I knock again.<br /> โWhat the freak do you want?โ He snaps at me while he opens his door.<br /> My heart skips a beat. Maybe itโs because of his deep blue eyes that they keep staring at me as if they want to devour my soul or something.<br /> I smile so he wonโt notice how nervous he makes me. โUhmm, I wanted to properly welcome you to the building.โ I give him the cup of coffee that I made for him.<br /> He takes a drag at his cigar, looking at my body all the way up to my eyes. โAre you here, because you want to freak?โ<br /> My jaw drops on the floor. โWhat? No!โ I nearly scream at him.<br /> He chuckles, seeing my reaction. โThatโs what I thought.โ He starts to close the door.<br /> โWait, you could at least tell me your name.โ I wonโt back down, even if his words made me uncountable. I put my hand in my chest to give a little drama. โDonโt tell me that a man at your size is scared by a little woman like myself.โ Itโs my turn to tease him.<br /> Iโm five foot tall, and heโs like six. Heโs a mountain man.<br /> He takes the cup from my hand. โIโm not scared. Thank you for the coffee, buttercup.โ He then closes the door in my face.<br /> Argh!<br /> You donโt get to take my coffee and not answer my question.<br /> I knock on his door harder this time.<br /> โLeave me the freak alone!โ He says, glaring at me.<br /> I shake my head stubbornly. โNot until you tell me your name. Itโs rude otherwise.โ<br /> โYou wonโt leave me the freak alone, is that it?โ He let out a growl. โOwen Blake. Now Piss off!โ Once again he closes the door in my face.<br /> I smirk as I walk back to my place.<br /> I look at the time. โFreak! Iโm going to be late for my date with Elliot. I have to hurry to get ready.โ<br /> I drink my coffee in a hurry and run inside the bathroom to take a shower.<br /> Elliot and I have been together for over a year now. He wants me to move in with him, but I donโt want to. I love my independence and my apartment to give them up.<br /> I brush my teeth after my shower as a towel covers my body.<br /> As I look inside my closet, I wonder what Iโm going to wear. I think Iโm going to go with my green cocktail dress and some black heels. I decided to put light makeup on myself.<br /> I run, hearing my cell phone inside the kitchen. โHello.โ<br /> โHey, baby,โ Elliot says over the phone. โIโm sorry, but I have to reschedule our date. I have an emergency at work that I canโt get out of.โ<br /> I sigh. Itโs not the first time that this has happened.<br /> โI can always come over tomorrow.โ He suggests.<br /> โSure.โ<br /> โI am sorry, but I truly have to go now. See you tomorrow.โ He hung up before I have the chance to say goodbye to him.<br /> I just got dressed for nothing.<br /> I need some air.<br /> I grab my jacket to go upstairs to the rooftop. I love to go there and think.<br /> As I arrive, I stare up at the sky. A full moon is out tonight.<br /> I hear a noise and when I look to where it was coming from, I jump as I see a shadow not far from me.<br /> โRelax, buttercup. Itโs just me.โ He smirks, seeing my reaction.<br /> I put my hand on my chest while my heart beat fast. โGod, Owen. Warn someone before you give them a heart attack.โ<br /> He takes a drag from his cigar, as he keeps staring at me.<br /> Will he stop doing that?<br /> โYou know, one of these days, this will kill you.โ I point at what he has in between his fingers.<br /> He exhales the smoke from his lungs while his eyes try to pierce my soul.<br /> I feel nervous under his stare, but at the same time, I feel drawn to them.<br /> โWho cares how I would die. Eventually, everyone will meet their fate. Not that I care, but where are you going dressing up like that?โ<br /> I look down on myself. โI was supposed to go out on a date with my boyfriend. He cancelled at the last minute. He has an emergency at work.โ<br /> Owen licks his lips. โMaybe heโs screwing with someone as we speak.โ<br /> I cross my arms in front of me, feeling annoyed by him. โWhy are you so mean to me? I never did something to deserve this. Besides, I trust him. He would never do something like that to me.โ<br /> I take a few steps to leave but stop at the last minute. โAll I did was try to be nice to you, and thatโs what I get.โ<br /> He frowns his eyebrows. โI never asked you freak. Itโs not my problem if you canโt handle the truth.โ<br /> โUgh, Iโm leaving,โ I say as I step further away from him.<br /> โGood riddance.โ He says loud enough for me to hear him.<br /> Owenโs words start to hunt me more than they should. I trust Elliot. Heโs a good man. Iโm sure all he wanted was a reaction from me, and he succeeded.<br /> Thatโs all and nothing else.<br /> I trust Elliot. I say one more time.<br /> <br /> I look around my apartment, and Iโm satisfied with the cleaning. Iโm not a clean freak. I just love my apartment to be spotless. While I cleaned my apartment, it distracted me from what happened yesterday.<br /> <br /> Owenโs words still bother me.<br /> <br /> โ<br /> Maybe heโs screwing with someone as we speak.โ<br /> <br /> Ugh! Why did he have to say this?<br /> <br /> I know it isnโt true. I trust Elliot. When we spend time together, he never gives me the impression that heโs cheating. Heโs always a sweetheart.<br /> <br /> Iโm so lost in my thoughts that when the doorโs bell ring, I jump a little.<br /> <br /> โIt must be Elliot,โ I say to myself as I go to answer the door.<br /> <br /> โHey, baby.โ Elliot smiles at me, holding a huge bouquet of red roses in his hands.<br /> <br /> Like I said, a sweetheart.<br /> <br /> I love roses. I think they are pretty, but they arenโt my favourite kind. The flower that I love the most is called sakura in Japanese. Which means cherry blossom.<br /> <br /> โAre those for me?โ I ask him.<br /> <br /> He smirks. โWhy of course. Only the best for my girlfriend.โ<br /> <br /> โWhat did I do to deserve such a gift?โ I play along.<br /> <br /> โDo I need a reason to spoil you?โ He wonders in a playful tone. โI saw them, and I thought of you.โ<br /> <br /> Out of nowhere, someone chuckles behind Elliot. As my boyfriend moves to the side, I see Owen ready to go inside his apartment while he has an arm around a womanโs waist.<br /> <br /> Off course.<br /> <br /> โ<br /> Are you here, because you want to freak?โ<br /> I remember Owen saying those words to me.<br /> <br /> Stop thinking about this, or youโre going to blush in front of him, and FYI you arenโt interested in him. You have a boyfriend so you can forget it. I scold myself.<br /> <br /> โSo this is the boyfriend.โ Owen looks at the flower in Elliotโs hands. Thatโs what I thought.โ He laughs, guiding his guest inside his apartment.<br /> <br /> What did he mean by thatโs what I thought?<br /> <br /> Is he referring to his words from last night?<br /> <br /> Why do I even bother racking my brain over this?<br /> <br /> Owen isnโt worth my time if he's acting like a jerk.<br /> <br /> Elliot clears his throat once we are inside my place. โSo, who was that?โ<br /> <br /> I take the bouquet from his hands. โOwen Blake, my new neighbour.โ<br /> <br /> He nods his head, but he doesnโt seem happy. โWhat did he mean by that what I thought? Did you speak to him?โ<br /> <br /> I open a kitchen cabinet to grab the vase. โHeโs my new neighbour. I couldnโt ignore him.โ<br /> <br /> Even if heโs an hip.<br /> <br /> โSo.โ He rubs his chin with his fingers. โWhat did he mean when he said thatโs what I thought?โ He repeats the question.<br /> <br /> I bite my lips nervously. I donโt know how he will react if I tell him, but I canโt lie to him. That wonโt be fair. Besides, I donโt have anything to hide.<br /> <br /> I pour some water inside the vase. โI told him that you were working late last night, and he said that it was because you were cheating on me. โ<br /> <br /> He frowns. โDid you believe him?โ<br /> <br /> I shake my head. โOf course not. I know you will never do such a thing to me.โ<br /> <br /> He let out a sight. โI donโt like this.โ<br /> <br /> I turn my head to look at him. โYou donโt like what?โ<br /> <br /> He folds his arms in front of him. โHim. He seems dangerous. You should stay clear of him. Better yet, come live with me permanently.โ<br /> <br /> Not this again!<br /> <br /> We already talked about this. He knows exactly where I stand on that matter. How should I put this in words so I wonโt upset his feelings? He barely stepped inside my apartment, and we are already talking about this.<br /> <br /> Yes, we argue sometimes. We are a couple. Everyone argues sometimes.<br /> <br /> I cut the edges of the roses before I put them in the vase. โ We talked about this. Iโm not going to move in with you, just because you dislike my neighbour. Iโm a big girl, I can take care of myself.โ<br /> <br /> Freak!<br /> <br /> Was I too harsh?<br /> <br /> Elliot inhales sharply, nodding his head.<br /> <br /> I know heโs not happy with my answer, but itโs the truth. Iโm not saying. Iโm saying not right now.<br /> <br /> Maybe itโs time to change the subject?<br /> <br /> Before I have the chance to do any of that, I feel Elliotโs arms circling my waist from behind. โIโm sorry, okay? I donโt come here to argue with you.<br /> <br /> Itโs like he read my mind.<br /> <br /> I turn around to bring my arms around his neck. โSo, how was work yesterday?โ<br /> <br /> Elliot makes a face, looking at me. โI donโt want to talk about work when Iโm with you.โ<br /> <br /> Itโs not the answer that I was looking for. I canโt blame him as I didnโt give him the answer that he wanted. So I will put this matter to the side and concentrate on my boyfriend.<br /> <br /> I smile at him. โAnd do tell me, what do you have in mind?โ<br /> <br /> Elliot smirks before he pecks my lips. โTrust me, baby, I have an idea, but first I want us to go out, and then later at my place, I will show you what I have in mind.โ<br /> <br /> Yesterday, I took the time to make myself pretty for our date that didnโt even happen. If he wants to take me out, he will have to take me with what Iโm wearing.<br /> <br /> I move away from him to go grab my purse and my jacket.<br /> <br /> โAre you going to change first?โ He wonders, looking at my body.<br /> <br /> I put my hand on my waist. โAre you saying that what Iโm wearing isnโt good enough for you?<br /> <br /> โNo.โ Heโs quick to say. โIt's just that I love seeing you in a cute little dress.โ<br /> <br /> I cross my arms in front of me. โIf you havenโt ditched me yesterday, you would have seen me into one.โ<br /> <br /> โIt wasnโt my fault. I had an emergency, and you know it.โ His words raise a little as he speaks.<br /> <br /> Thatโs exactly what I wanted to avoid us arguing.<br /> <br /> I go to him and peck him on the cheek. โIโm sorry, okay. I donโt know why I said that. I know it was out of hand on my part. Can we go now?โ<br /> <br /> He leaves a peck on my forehead. โIโm sorry too.โ<br /> <br /> Elliot takes my hand in his to guide us out of my place. I guess he doesnโt want to argue either.<br /> <br /> As we walk, a noise that comes from Owenโs apartment makes me freeze on the spot.<br /> <br /> โYes! Yes! Blake, yes!โ<br /> <br /> I bite my lips. I never screamed this way when Iโm intimate with Elliot. Am I missing something? Iโm not saying that our drill life is boring, Iโve never been so loud.<br /> <br /> Is it me, or does Elliot make us walk faster than necessary?<br /> <br /> I look around after the hostess of the restaurant shows us our table. As I look around, I notice that everyone is wearing nice clothes. We are definitely in a luxury fashion restaurant.<br /> <br /> I should have probably listened to Elliot and worn something nicer.<br /> <br /> Did he do it on purpose?<br /> <br /> No, Iโm sure he didnโt. I donโt even know why it crossed my mind.<br /> <br /> As I sit on the chair, I notice that the woman whoโs sitting to my right is judging me for the way sheโs looking at me. Maybe it has something to do with what Iโm wearing. I feel undressed. Is it as if everyoneโs judging me? I clear my throat, looking at the menu instead.<br /> <br /> Elliot didnโt notice anything. Heโs on the phone with someone from his work. I donโt mind. Iโm used to it by now.<br /> <br /> โNo. No, this isnโt a good idea.โ Elliot frowns as he speaks. He doesnโt seem happy. โWe will deal with this tomorrow.โ He hung up right after.<br /> <br /> I look at him with concern. โIs everything ok?โ<br /> <br /> โMmhmm.โ He mumbles.<br /> <br /> I wonโt push on the matter. If he wants to talk about it, he will.<br /> <br /> A young woman around my age stands beside us. โHello, my name is Lucy. I will be your waitress for tonight. Are you ready to order?โ She asks with a smile on her lips.<br /> <br /> I look through the menu, and even though everything seems delicious. I decided to go with something light. โA Caesar salad for me.โ<br /> <br /> She nods her head, writing it on her pad. โAnything to drink?โ<br /> <br /> I shake my head. โNo. Just water, please.โ<br /> <br /> Lucy turns her intention to my boyfriend. โAnd you, sir?โ<br /> <br /> โIโm going to go with the lamb shanks and a bottle of your finest beverage.โ He closes the menu and gives it to her.<br /> <br /> I let out a sigh. Itโs not that Iโm bothered that he has money, but he doesnโt have to show it every time we go out. He would have brought me to a food truck for our date, and I would still enjoy myself. I donโt need much. Just spending time with him would be enough for me.<br /> <br /> Elliot takes my hand once Lucy leaves with our order. โSo, what did you do today?โ<br /> <br /> I give him a smirk. โI donโt want to talk about work. Wasnโt what you wanted?โ<br /> <br /> He let out a chuckle. โI guess I deserve that.โ<br /> <br /> I look to my right, and the woman from earlier once again is staring at me. The guy thatโs with her is trying to get her intentions, but he falls miserably.<br /> <br /> Poor guy.<br /> <br /> As Elliot looks at the same woman, I notice his expression change for only a second.<br /> <br /> Iโm about to ask him whatโs up with that when Iโm distracted by Lucy as she brings our meals.<br /> <br /> I get up from my seat. โIf youโll excuse me, Iโm going to powder my nose.โ<br /> <br /> Elliot takes my hand to leave a peck on my skin. โOk.โ<br /> <br /> Iโm not going to powder my nose. It was better to say this than say Iโm going to the toilet to do the number one. I have manners.<br /> <br /> Once Iโm finished, I look at my reflection in the mirror. The thing I love the most about me is my hair. At first, you think they are black, but when the light hits them, the brown shines through them.<br /> <br /> As I walk back to my table, I stop on my track. I see the woman from earlier sitting in my seat while she talks with Elliot. He doesnโt seem happy with her presence.<br /> <br /> Whatโs wrong with this picture? I wonder.<br /> <br /> When Elliot sees me approaching them, I see the panic in his eyes.<br /> <br /> Owenโs words from last night replay in my head.<br /> โ<br /> Maybe heโs screwing with someone as we speak.โ<br /> <br /> Am I gullible to think that Elliot isnโt cheating on me? I have to get to the bottom of this before I make any accusations. I could be wrong here. It can be nothing.<br /> <br /> โElliot, whatโs going on?โ I look at him, then at her, and back at him.<br /> <br /> He quickly stands up from his seat. โShe was just leaving. Werenโt you, Clara?<br /> <br /> She bats her eyelashes rapidly. โHoney, I think itโs time for her to learn the truth. Donโt you agree?โ<br /> <br /> I cross my arms in front of me. โAnd who exactly are you?โ<br /> <br /> I suspect whatโs going on.<br /> <br /> Clara laughs, looking at me. โIโm the woman who slept with him yesterday and the days before.โ<br /> <br /> I canโt believe this. He told me that he wasnโt cheating.<br /> <br /> I look around, and everyone is staring at us.<br /> <br /> I canโt believe what is happening.<br /> <br /> โTaylor.โ I hear Elliot says my name.<br /> <br /> I ignore him completely. I go grab my coat and purse to get out of here. On the way out I call a uber company to come and pick me up.<br /> <br /> Once Iโm outside, waiting. Someone grabs my hand, and I know who that is. Iโm quick to remove my hand from his hold.<br /> <br /> โTaylor, please let me explain.โ He has the nerve to plead with me, after what he did.<br /> <br /> No. I wonโt stay here and listen as he tries to find an excuse for what he did. I ignore him completely as I look ahead me.<br /> <br /> โTaylor, please. I want to talk to you.โ He tries again.<br /> <br /> โThereโs nothing to talk aboutโ I snap at him.<br /> <br /> โElliot, there you are.โ Clara joins us outside. โNow that she knows, we can finally be together.โ<br /> <br /> Donโt cry. I say to myself. Not here, and certainly not in front of her.<br /> <br /> He turns to look at her to ask her to leave. An argument between them starts, and thankfully, I see the uber appear on the road.<br /> <br /> Neither of them notices that I get in the uber.<br /> <br /> All I want is to go home. A tear falls down my cheek as I try to keep it at bay. The driver doesnโt seem to be effective in my situation. Iโm sure in his line of work he saw this a lot of times.<br /> <br /> I stand in front of my door with the keys in my hand. I donโt want to go in. Something tells me that Elliot is on his way to talk to me. I donโt want to see him.<br /> <br /> A stupid idea coss my mind.<br /> <br /> Iโm sure that Iโm going to regret this, but for now, itโs my best option. Elliot will never think to search for me there.<br /> <br /> I walk until Iโm in front of Owenโs door and knock on it.<br /> <br /> Freak! Maybe the girl that he was with is still with him.<br /> <br /> Iโm about to turn around as I change my mind when his door opens.<br /> <br /> He frowns at me. โItโs you again.โ<br /> <br /> โIโm sorry to bother you.โ I feel shy under his stare.<br /> <br /> I donโt know why Iโm standing here. I donโt even know the guy. I swallow my pride. โCan I come in, please? I argued with Eliott, and Iโm not ready to face him yet.โ<br /> <br /> To my surprise, he opens his door wider, just enough for me to enter his place. | Red111 | 15 | https://facebook.com/61554959872521 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714633200 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

My dad is really mad at you and Raven being mates." Twin sister Reagan said to my mate.<br /> "I don't mind rejecting her, but I would have been embarrassed to face my mate" Justin said.<br /> "My father has decided to appoint me as his future Alpha not my sister Raven. So, I will be your luna." Reagan said to Justin.<br /> ******** <br /> I silently run through the woods letting my wolf Emerald out tonight. She has been anxious all day, well really the last few days, and I could tell that she needed to come out for a run. <br /> Alpha Cole Walker is the Alpha of the Blood Walker pack. He is said to be one of the most dangerous Alphas in the United States. It is said that he would hurt anyone who dared to enter his pack uninvited. Due to this fact, most of our pack members studiously avoid this area altogether.<br /> My twin sister, Reagan, is the golden child of the pack. They all love her unconditionally. She is cherished and appreciated, no matter what she does. They all seem to ignore the fact that she is a horrible and mean she-wolf. I was born first, and with that should come the respect that after I find my mate, I will officially be the Luna here, and he will take over as the Alpha of the pack. Yet they all treat her as the next Luna. <br /> My sister and I are the only children that our parents had. The Goddess never blessed them with another child, even though they tried for years. My father, Alpha Graham Sullivan, is very strict with me. I am not allowed to leave my room other than to eat my meals and then return back to my room again. I am also not allowed to leave our pack for any reason. I have never even crossed the border of the Sliver Blade pack in my life. <br /> I was the Alpha's daughter, but I was not a valued member of this pack. Telling on me has always resulted in a bonus for whoever told on me to my father. I have had to learn how to overcome this on my own. It has made me very independent over the years, as well as a very good climber. I use the tree outside my window at the pack house, to climb up and down to get in and out of my room.<br /> From my vantage point, I can see who is coming now and rolled my eyes so hard I almost saw my brain. It was Reagan, and she was pulling the arm of a pretty large guy, as she headed toward the grassy bank near my tree. I realized right this moment that I have picked a terrible place to hide. I should have doubled back and then climbed in my window to my room and I would have been safe and sound in my room. Reagan is clearly out with one of her many men, as she was allowed to stay out and do whatever she wanted to. I mean how else could she beat me to finding her mate if she didn't flirt with all the unmated men in our pack? I rolled my eyes again and then froze when I looked at them again and got a good look at his face.<br /> That smell coming off of him was starting to drive me wild, he smelled like freshly baked cinnamon buns, and I was now pissed off. She had come here with the guy that I had a crush on, someone with whom she had never shown any interest in before. It was our Beta's son and the guy that I have had a crush on for the last year and a half.<br /> "No, don't stop them, Raven, she has already been dating with him for the last few months. This is not the first time, it has been well before he returned to the pack earlier this week. They are together now, dating, and they have both vowed to reject their actual mates to stay together to take over and run this pack. Please, just try to bear it, I will help you get through it. I am glad that you are in a secure location, this may make you pass out" Emerald linked me, and I felt physically sick.<br /> "How do you know this? Did she know that he is my mate? Why can't I approach him? Maybe he wants me, Emerald. Please let me stop this. He might not know that I am his mate, he may still want me, want US! I don't want to lose him, Emerald. He may not be aware his true mate is here. Can't he already smell our scent up here, like I smelled his scent? Are you sure that this is the only way? Please Emerald" I linked her back, and I feel the tears that are already sliding down my face. I have questions, and I need answers.<br /> I am frustrated. I don't want to give up on my true mate. He doesn't even know that I am here, and I do want him. I don't want to give him up, especially not to my sister Reagan. I don't know if I can survive this level of betrayal.<br /> "I can't wait for mom and dad to announce to the pack that we will be the Alpha and Luna tomorrow. This is something that I have really wanted for the last 8 years. I am so glad you decided that we could be chosen mates. " My sister says to my mate.<br /> "Besides, I am also glad that you are willing to lead the Silver Blade pack with me. I have a feeling that my freak of a sister who keeps staring at you is going to be crushed when she finds out that we are together. You dodged by deciding to accept me as your chosen mate. I know that she has a crush on you, so she would probably try to ask you out or something when she sees that you are back from break." She adds.<br /> "I think we will be so happy together. Raven will be so angry when she finds out that we planned this months ago. I cannot wait for her to find out. I even told mom to have her sit on the front row for the pack meeting tomorrow, so I can see her face when dad makes the announcement. I am going to put her next to you so it will hurt her more when dad calls you up on stage. When she realizes that her crush is going to be my mate, she is going to be so jealous of me. I am so going to get a picture of her face when she finds out, as I will want to remember that moment for a long time" I heard Reagan say to him, and I was so choked up I couldn't hold in the sob of pain that managed to escape.<br /> It wasn't loud, but with werewolf hearing, it was loud enough. I just stayed completely still and prayed that they hadn't heard me, but Justin started talking when my sob escaped, and they had no reaction, so I think I am safe.<br /> "I have always thought that you were a she-wolf, Reagan. I am so glad that you came up to my training with your offer, and for us to get extra special time together. If Raven were allowed to move around the pack, I don't think that she would be missing the fact that she is my mate. I scented her today when I got back to the pack and confirmed she is my mate. Per our agreement, I don't mind rejecting her, as I am clearly getting the better sister out of this deal. I would have been embarrassed to have to call that freak of nature my mate" Justin said, and with it, my heart was completely crushed.<br /> These two evil people deserved each other, and I will not waste another tear on his betrayal. He "chose" her, so he can keep her. She will never be faithful to him, and he will not ever be able to trust that their children are his either. She was just doing this to ensure that they become the next Alpha and Luna. She is what he wanted, so she can have him. I am thoroughly disgusted by both of them, and I will not allow them to make me sad one more day. I had already decided to get out of this horrible pack, and I will not miss the Silver Blade pack for a second. <br /> "She is your mate? Are you serious? Oh, this is the best" Reagan said as she laughed out in joy at hearing this information. "Justin, why haven't you mentioned this to me before?" Reagan continued.<br /> "I just found out about it earlier today as I have been gone for my training for the last 4 months. I caught my mate's scent and followed it so I could go ahead and reject them. I realized it was coming from the Alpha level, and when I went up and it led me straight to her door, it was really faint, but I sensed it. She doesn't even know it yet. I am sure that this information is not going to go over well with your parents. They may be upset when they find out. Are they still going to want us to move forward with our plan? Or are they going to want me and Raven to be mates because we are true mates?" Justin asked Reagan. I have to admit, I was interested in her reply as well, but I already suspected what the answer was going to be.<br /> "Oh no Justin, you will definitely be staying with me. I know dad is really going to get a kick out of you and Raven being mates. Mom might feel a little bad for her, but I think that this is great. I could not be happier that her true mate, will become my chosen mate.<br /> We will rule the Silver Blade pack together, and it will hurt her every day to see us together. It is my pack any way, it was never going to be hers. Maybe if we are lucky since she doesn't have a wolf, she won't be able to scent you, and your rejection might even hurt her when you do it. That would be the best-case scenario for all of us" Reagan said, and I could tell that Justin was a little shocked at how hateful she was. Reagan could tell that Justin was not liking this side of her so she quickly changed her attitude and started cooing at Justin, "She doesn't deserve you, baby, I love you and I want you. Hopefully, you will come to love me too.<br /> I was just worried, I don't want you falling in love with my sister after we have already mated." Reagan said to Justin, looking up at him adoringly through her long lashes. I have to admit, she really knows how to work people to do what she wants them to. Her ability to look innocent and pure is without measure, she could have been an actress.<br /> "Dad hates Raven. He will be very happy about this. He has never loved her since the day that she was born. Mom might be a little upset, but she will get over it. She and dad are chosen mates, she gave up her true mate to become the Luna of the Silver Blade pack. She did it herself, and if it is good enough for her, then it is good enough for me to do it as well. We make the perfect couple. We will have strong pups, and our pack will flourish" Reagan said, and I am stunned. I knew my dad was mean, but to hate me, why? What reason could he possibly have for hating me? My parents have told the whole pack numerous times through the years that they were true mates. They are very affectionate with each other in front of the pack. I didn't even know that they weren't true mates. What else don't I know about them?<br /> "We will do the same thing. You will have to reject Raven first thing in the morning, or after the pack meeting. But you will have to do it where no one else will hear you. Dad is going to tell the pack that we are true mates, so they will fully support us. Dad thinks that it would be a mistake to not have the pack's full support behind us when we go to take it over from my parents" Reagan said, and I am amazed at all the plans that they have kept away from me. Just another thing that shows how much difference there is between Reagan and me. I hear them touching again and wonder when they plan on leaving the area, don't they need to get back to the pack house?<br /> I narrow my eyes at Reagan, as she is ecstatic about getting to truly rub all of my misfortune in right now. Justin is getting the opportunity to reject me, so the situation that we are now in is all positive for them.<br /> "Raven, why are you out of the house? Are you supposed to be out here? Are you OK? That fall looked like it hurt pretty bad" I hear my sister ask me with an innocent look on her face like she cared about me. She was fully aware of how I am kept a prisoner here at the Silver Blade pack. I really have to get out of here. I needed to check and see how badly I am hurt because I don't know if I even have time to go pack a bag now. I may be having to leave here with nothing, but I am OK with that. I just need to get the heck out of here. I will figure out what I need to do after I am safely free of Silver Blade.<br /> "Are you ignoring me, Raven? Are you sure you want to do that to me? Fine then, I will just make sure that you get punished for leaving your room. You are not supposed to be out here anyway. I will just let dad know that you are out here, and he will take care of you" Reagan said with a smirk, and then she started mind linking. <br /> I and my wolf were running away from this pack. But they caught us immediately.<br /> "If you come back here now Raven, I won't punish you for leaving your room without permission" I heard my father tell me. <br /> "Nothing in the world could possess me to do that father," I told him, and I see his eyes glazing over as he goes to link someone. I could care less what they have to say to me, and I turned to walk away. <br /> "You will get punishment in the Blood Walker pack. You know how dangerous they are Raven, you have heard this fact for your whole life. They cannot be trusted, and you are now a rogue. We have told you, and the whole pack, exactly what happens to those who trespass on their land. The moment they scent you they will move in, and you will die today. Is that what you want? Do you want to die? I will get you more freedom in the pack. I will allow you to go to the library every day instead of once a week. How does that sound?" my mother's voice is calming and comforting. She has never before sounded as nice as this, and I know that dad put her up to try to lure me back into the Siler Blade pack. They must be desperate to do it, so I want to see how far they intended to go with it.<br /> "Let me ask you this mother. Was the plan to get Justin to take Reagan as a chosen mate her idea, or dad's?" I asked her. Mom is not a very good liar. I can see her expression as we are only about 20 feet apart from each other right now. <br /> "I don't know what you are talking about Raven, they are mates," my mom said to me, and now I smirk at her. Clearly, mom was keeping me out of the loop and doesn't know that I know for a fact that they aren't.<br /> "Thanks for always lying to me mom. That makes it so much easier on me. I will not be coming back to the Silver Blade pack. This is the last time, Goddess willing, that you all will probably see me and actually I am welcoming the death that is coming to me. It will be better than the life I have lived since Reagan tried to hurt me, and my own dad called me a liar when I told him what actually happened. Justin is not her mate mom, and I know this because he is MY mate. It is disgusting what all you three have done to me and allowed to be done to me my whole life. I never deserved to be treated the way I was. I can only hope that I can find my way and get to live a life that allows me to find someone who loves me and realizes that I am a good person. I don't think that is too much to ask for, do you mom? It seems like you and dad are willing to do anything to get me to come back over the fence, but we both know that if I did come back, I would either immediately be thrown in the cells. So, I will take my chances over here, where at least I have a chance" I told them and turned again to leave. I only made it a few steps before I was stopped again by my father's hateful words.<br /> "You are ungrateful daughter, How do you have the nerve to say that to me? I have clothed and fed you, provided you a room, and let you go to school. I did take care of you, and it is disgusting to see how you repay me. Lying about Justin being your mate. Trying to take your sister's mate away from her. I know that I can speak for your mother as well as myself when I say that we hope the Blood Walker pack disposes of you quickly. I only wish I could punish you myself" my dad roared out, and the hate was coming off of him in waves.<br /> "You disgust me father," I told him and the tone I used to draw out the word father let him know just how little I thought of him being my father. "I have never done anything to cause a problem or disruption in the pack, or in the family. I did what I was told this whole time. Even as knowing that you let the whole pack know that I was fair game if they wanted to hurt me, and they did dad, over and over again. You know what, it was my family that really took the award for the most torment. Your unwarranted hate, mom never supporting me, and my sister allowed to try to hurt me, and incite others up against me made me realize that life will be much better on this side of the border than it was on that side. Even if I only live an hour more, it would be better than the years I spent over there."<br /> I wiped off my tears and walked past them, suddenly, I hear something coming to meโฆ<br /> <br /> <br /> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><br /> Wanna listen more? download our App and check more!

I'm booking the next 15 people who click this ad for a Free Neuropathy Consultation! Peripheral Neuropathy refers to conditions that result when nerves carrying messages from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body are damaged or inflamed. When these nerves are damaged, we can experience endless Burning ๐ฅ, Numbness and Tingling, Chronic Pain ๐ค and even Loss of Balance. ๐ There are several kinds of Peripheral Neuropathies and they can stem from a variety of causes ranging from carpal tunnel syndrome (entrapment), traumatic injury (such as motor vehicle accidents, slip and fall, or sports/work related accidents), restricted blood flow, deteriorating joints, pesticide exposure, to toxic levels of sugar in the blood (causing nerve damage linked to diabetes). In your Neuropathy Screening you will get answers to the following questions: โ What is the underlying cause of the nerve damage? โ How severe is my condition? โ Are other conditions contributing? โ What types of nerves have damage? โ How much treatment do nerves require to heal? The underlying cause is different for every patient and must be understood in order to help the nerves heal and get us back to a normal life.

"Congratulations! You are going to be a mom."<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Mitchel Dixon pinched her arm. His low voice came the next second. "Come back to earth. What are you thinking about?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel was her husband. They had been married secretly for two years. He was her superior at work, the president of the Dixon Group. <br /> <br /> Everything had happened so fast. She was newly employed in the company when they unexpectedly got married. <br /> <br /> At that time, Mitchel's grandfather fell seriously ill. It was then he proposed a fake marriage just to fulfill his grandfather's dying wish. <br /> <br /> They signed a prenup, agreeing to hide their marriage from the public. Their union could be terminated at any time. <br /> <br /> It was an unconventional thing to do. However, Raegan only considered herself lucky at that time. <br /> <br /> Never in a million years did she think she would ever get married to the man she had a crush on for eight years. She delightfully agreed. <br /> <br /> After their marriage, Mitchel was very busy. He spent most of his time working. <br /> <br /> Raegan wished she could spend more time with him at home. However, she was rest assured because there hadn't been any rumors or scandals about him with women in the past two years. <br /> <br /> Except for his mild indifference, Mitchel was a perfect husband. <br /> <br /> Raegan had mixed feelings as she stared at the medical report. <br /> <br /> In the end, she decided to tell Mitchel this news. <br /> <br /> She also wanted to tell him that she hadn't learned about him for the first time two years ago and that she had been crushing on him for many years before then. <br /> <br /> Just then, Mitchelโs phone rang. He went to the balcony and answered the phone. <br /> <br /> Raegan checked the time and found that it was already midnight. <br /> <br /> She felt a little uneasy. Who would call Mitchel at this hour? <br /> <br /> Mitchel spent a few minutes on the balcony. Thereafter, he returned and changed into formal attire. His handsome face which had a clear outline made him look dignified. <br /> <br /> He was something to see now. <br /> <br /> "Don't wait up for me. Good night," he said finally. <br /> <br /> What? He was on his way out? At this hour? <br /> <br /> Raegan's grip on the report tightened as she stared at him in disappointment. Unconsciously, she withdrew slightly. After thinking for a while, she blurted out, "It's already so late."<br /> <br /> Mitchel's fingers froze on his tie. With a faint smile, he pinched her earlobe and said, "Be good, okay? There's something I have to do. Don't wait up."<br /> <br /> With that, he headed for the door. <br /> <br /> "Mitchel."<br /> <br /> Raegan quickly ran and caught up with him. <br /> <br /> Mitchel turned around and looked at her seriously. <br /> <br /> "What's the matter?"<br /> <br /> There was a tinge of coldness to his voice. An icy cloud hung over them as they stared at each other. <br /> <br /> A little distressed, Raegan asked in a low voice, "I would like to visit my grandma tomorrow. Can you accompany me there?"<br /> <br /> Her grandmother always wanted to see her. As a result, Raegan wanted to take Mitchel there to assure her grandma they were happy. <br /> <br /> "Let's talk about it tomorrow, okay?" Without agreeing or declining, Mitchel left in a hurry. <br /> <br /> Several thoughts were threading Raegan's mind. She couldn't sleep a wink. <br /> <br /> After tossing and turning for a long time, she went to the kitchen and made herself a warm glass of milk. <br /> <br /> A few notifications from some online blogs came into her phone. <br /> <br /> However, she wasn't interested in them. She was about to swipe them away when one of them caught her attention. The familiar name made her click on it. <br /> <br /> The news read, "Famous designer, Lauren Murray was spotted at the airport with her mysterious boyfriend earlier today."<br /> <br /> Lauren was wearing a bucket hat. The man's figure was vague, but the outline of his body was enough to show that he was dashing. <br /> <br /> Raegan zoomed in on the picture. The next second, her heart dropped. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was the man in the picture! <br /> <br /> So, he canceled the afternoon meeting just to go pick up his ex-girlfriend from the airport? <br /> <br /> This realization settled like a boulder in Raegan's gut, rendering her flustered. <br /> <br /> Her hands trembled. Subconsciously, she dialed Mitchel's number. <br /> <br /> The dial tone brought her back to her senses. Just as she was about to hang up, the line connected, and a voice came from the other end. <br /> <br /> "Hello!"<br /> <br /> It was a particularly gentle woman's voice. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a second and then threw the phone away. <br /> <br /> She suddenly felt sick in her stomach. Covering her mouth, she ran into the bathroom and threw up in the toilet bowl. <br /> <br /> The next morning, Raegan went to work on time. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had tried to get her to stop working after they got married. Stubbornly, she insisted on making her own money. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't kick against her decision, but he asked her to work as his assistant, helping him with the daily chores. <br /> <br /> The head assistant, Matteo Jenkins was left to take care of the major affairs Mitchel had. <br /> <br /> Matteo was the only Dixon Group employee who knew about their marriage. <br /> <br /> Since inception, only male assistants were hired for the president's office. Reagan was the first and only female. Her employment broke the protocol. As a result, other workers couldn't help but wonder if she was involved with Mitchel. <br /> <br /> It took a while before they realized that Mitchel never gave Raegan special treatment. Strangely, this made them despise her even more. <br /> <br /> After all, no one would last long in anything while taking advantage of their looks.<br /> <br /> At this time, one of Raegan's colleagues handed her a document and ordered her to take it to Mitchel's office. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't return home last night. Raegan was so worried that she didn't sleep at all. <br /> <br /> All she kept thinking about was the woman who answered his phone when she called. What was her relationship with Mitchel?<br /> <br /> Raegan already knew the answer to that, but she was still in denial. <br /> <br /> It was difficult for her to come to terms with that fact. <br /> <br /> Raegan tried to remain calm now. She reasoned that no matter what happened, she deserved a result that would be rewarding for all the years she spent loving Mitchel. This couldn't be all for nothing, right? <br /> <br /> She pressed the elevator button calmly and went up to the president's office. Before she walked out of the elevator, she smoothed her hair to make sure she looked good. <br /> <br /> She had arrived at the office, only to see that the door was ajar. A man's voice came. She halted instantly. <br /> <br /> "Come on, man! Do you have any feelings for Raegan or not?"<br /> <br /> The voice belonged to Luis Stevens, a childhood friend of Mitchel's. <br /> <br /> "What do you mean exactly?" Mitchel asked in a cold voice. <br /> <br /> "You know exactly what I mean!" Luis clicked his tongue impatiently and added, "I think Raegan is a good girl. Isn't she your type?"<br /> <br /> "Do you want me to hand her over to you?" Mitchel asked carelessly. <br /> <br /> "You know what, forget it!"<br /> <br /> The scornful laughter of Luis sounded particularly harsh in Raegan's ears. <br /> <br /> They were talking about her as if she were an object. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and tightened her grip on the document. <br /> <br /> Soon, Luis's voice was heard again. <br /> <br /> "By the way, I saw the gossip news about Lauren's mysterious boyfriend this morning. That was you, right?"<br /> <br /> "Yes."<br /> <br /> "Well, well, well! That woman still has you wrapped around her little finger. You always want to please her."<br /> <br /> Luis sighed and continued to tease Mitchel. "As the old saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Tell me, did you two..."<br /> <br /> Their conversation was like a thunder exploding over Raegan's head. <br /> <br /> Her face turned pale and her body was as cold as ice. <br /> <br /> The woman was indeed Lauren! <br /> <br /> Absence made the heart grow fonder! <br /> <br /> Every word drove a knife into her heart. <br /> <br /> Several whispering voices filled her head at this time. She suddenly felt light-headed. Her vision became blurry. <br /> <br /> She held the wall and took a step backward. Suddenly, the door was opened from inside. <br /> <br /> "Raegan?"<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 2 One-sided Love<br /> <br /> Luis was the one who opened the door. It appeared he was on his way out. <br /> <br /> Raegan balled her hands, turned to him, and nodded. "Hey, Mr. Stevens!"<br /> <br /> Without waiting for him to respond to her greeting, she walked past him and entered the office with the document. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was seated behind a large luxurious desk. In an expensive suit and matching tie, he looked particularly handsome. <br /> <br /> Raegan noticed it wasn't the same suit he had on when he left home last night. How did he get changed? <br /> <br /> With her eyes lowered, she swallowed that question and said instead, "Mr. Dixon, this is from the Marketing Department. Please sign it."<br /> <br /> Mitchel was expressionless as he signed the document at a glance. <br /> <br /> Raegan walked out the door as soon as he handed the document back to her. Luis was still standing at the threshold. <br /> <br /> It wasn't until she went out of sight that Luis turned to Mitchel and said in a hushed tone, "Do you think she heard us?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel's appealing eyes were expressionless at the moment. Obviously, he wasn't paying attention to what Luis was saying. <br /> <br /> To Mitchel, Raegan had always been docile and never felt jealous of anyone. <br /> <br /> Her strict obedience was all Mitchel demanded from her in exchange for treating her well. <br /> <br /> In the elevator. <br /> <br /> Raegan held her breath just to hold back her tears. Unfortunately, it didn't work. <br /> <br /> She had thought two years would be enough for Mitchel to realize how much she loved him and reciprocate her love. <br /> <br /> Now, it turned out that was just a pipe dream. <br /> <br /> She realized she would always play second fiddle to Lauren, Mitchel's true love. <br /> <br /> Reagan wiped her tears when the elevator halted. Save for her pale face, she looked normal when the doors opened. <br /> <br /> She dragged herself to the break room, intending to make herself a cup of tea. <br /> <br /> Several employees were chatting inside. <br /> <br /> "Guys, have you heard? Lauren Murray is back."<br /> <br /> "And who is that?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, my! You don't know her? Lauren is the heiress of the Murray Group as well as a world-class designer. Most importantly, she's the only girlfriend Mr. Dixon has ever shown off in public. She's his first love!"<br /> <br /> "Why is her return such a big deal? Isn't it rumored that there is something between Mr. Dixon and Raegan?"<br /> <br /> "Raegan? She's nothing to Mr. Dixon. Mr. Dixon never admitted that he was dating her. And that is no surprise to me. After all, look at her. She's not even that beautiful. Yet, she behaves as if she's already Mrs. Dixon. What a fool!"<br /> <br /> Standing at the door, Raegan smiled with self-mockery as she listened to them. It turned out everyone else saw the truth except her. <br /> <br /> The love was one-sided. <br /> <br /> "Ha-ha, have you finally woken up from your wild dream, Raegan?"<br /> <br /> A voice of mockery suddenly came from behind. Raegan turned around to see Tessa Lloyd, Mitchel's cousin, who had always despised her. <br /> <br /> Tessa must have also heard the employees gossiping. <br /> <br /> The last thing Raegan wanted to do now was argue with Tessa in the company. She turned to leave, but Tessa blocked her way. <br /> <br /> With a cup of coffee in her hand, Tessa uttered sarcastically, "Lauren is back now. Do you think Mitchel will still give you any attention?"<br /> <br /> Raegan said nothing to that. <br /> <br /> Seconds later, Tessa continued the ridicule. "Maybe itโs time for you to seek out another man, you pathetic fool."<br /> <br /> Raegan clenched her fists and said coldly, "Ms. Lloyd, if you are interested in that kind of thing, feel free to pursue it yourself."<br /> <br /> "You..."<br /> <br /> Raegan's retort made Tessa's face change. <br /> <br /> The next second, Tessa raised her hand and emptied the cup of coffee on Raegan. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn't think for a second that Tessa would do something so crazy. She held up her arms just to block the liquid from her face. In no time, the coffee drenched her clothes. <br /> <br /> Raegan frowned. "What did you do that for? Are you out of your mind?"<br /> <br /> It was lunch break and many employees were free to watch the drama. Tessa was even more complacent when she saw growing onlookers. <br /> <br /> She put on a mean-girl look as she said, "What makes you so smug every day, huh? Do you seriously think that others don't know you are just an orphan? The nerve of..."<br /> <br /> Tessa was silenced by Raeganโs shove. <br /> <br /> Her jaw dropped to the floor. She had never expected that Raegan, who was so quiet and timid, would shove her. <br /> <br /> Tessa stuttered, "You... You pushed me? How dare you!"<br /> <br /> Raegan eyed her and replied, "Yes, I did! It seems you need to be taught simple politeness."<br /> <br /> Indeed, she lost her parents when she was a child. But that didn't mean she would allow someone to walk over her for it. <br /> <br /> Wrinkles appeared on Tessa's face as she frowned in anger. As Mitchel's cousin, she was used to being fawned over and respected. This was the first time she had been treated like this. <br /> <br /> Tessa charged at Raegan like a raging bull, poised to retaliate. <br /> <br /> This time, Raegan was fully prepared for what was coming. She grabbed Tessa's wrist so that the latter couldn't move another inch. <br /> <br /> Tessa was shorter than Raegan. As a result, she struggled like an octopus that had one of its tentacles stuck in a fishing trap. <br /> <br /> Tessa cursed angrily, "How dare you put your hands on me? Who do you think you are?"<br /> <br /> These harsh words attracted more people to the break room. <br /> <br /> "That's enough!"<br /> <br /> Out of the blue, a baritone came from behind. Mitchel had left his office and ran into this hullabaloo. <br /> <br /> The entire room fell silent. <br /> <br /> "Mitchel?" Tessa's blood ran cold at the sight of Mitchel. She had always been scared of him. Her mother also warned her against provoking him. <br /> <br /> But when she remembered that Raegan humiliated her, she put on a pitiful expression and sobbed. "Mitchel, she bullied me."<br /> <br /> The sunlight from outside fell on Mitchel's handsome face. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt so grieved all of a sudden, and lowered her head to look at her clothes which were soaked with coffee. <br /> <br /> Their gaze met in the air. With a deep frown, Mitchel looked at Raegan and said, "Raegan, have you forgotten the rules of the company?"<br /> <br /> His ruthlessness made Raegan's breathing cease. She couldn't believe her ears. <br /> <br /> No one dared to make a sound at this moment. <br /> <br /> Raegan just stood straight there with her slender figure. <br /> <br /> When she got employed here, Mitchel had told her that the Dixon Group wasn't a place for her to mess around and that he would not tolerate her making any mistakes. <br /> <br /> Raegan could understand why he took this stand. <br /> <br /> However, at this moment, she was desperate to know whether Mitchel had heard those hard words Tessa scolded her or he was just pretending not to have heard because he agreed to those words. <br /> <br /> Was she truly insignificant to him?<br /> <br /> Scared to death by Mitchel's rage, the crowd soon dispersed. A few employees were bold enough to peep from a distance, unwilling to miss the good show. <br /> <br /> Mitchel's cold eyes made Raegan shiver from head to toe. <br /> <br /> Raegan pinched her palm to suppress her emotions as she looked at Tessa. <br /> <br /> "I'm sorry, Ms. Lloyd. As an employee of the Dixon Group, it was wrong of me to have offended you."<br /> <br /> Eyeing Raegan, Tessa raised her chin complacently. "Humph! Don't think you'll be let off the hook just by making a simple apology. I don't buy..."<br /> <br /> "The offence has nothing to do with the company. Personally, I refuse to apologize to you. Now, if you'd excuse me," Raegan chimed in. <br /> <br /> She then walked past Mitchel without sparing him another look. <br /> <br /> "You..."<br /> <br /> Tessa's face turned blue after hearing what Raegan said. <br /> <br /> Never in her years of being alive had she been so humiliated. She was always the bully, not the victim! <br /> <br /> The humiliation was so much that scolding Raegan wouldn't appease her anger. <br /> <br /> Pointing in Raegan's direction, Tessa shouted, "Mitchel, did you hear what that woman just said? She humiliated me, yet she's still so arrogant. Call her back. I have to teach her some manners!"<br /> <br /> Mitchel, staring at Raegan's thin back, had an ambiguous expression at this moment. <br /> <br /> "Enough!" he said coldly, raising his hand. <br /> <br /> As someone who lived and breathed drama and cruelty, Tessa didn't think Mitchel was partial to Raegan just now. She assumed that Mitchel didn't care about Raegan at all. <br /> <br /> Tessa gritted her teeth and said viciously, "Next time, I'll get someone to teach her a lesson."<br /> <br /> "Tessa!" Mitchel's tone and squint made it a reproof. <br /> <br /> Tessa trembled at once. <br /> <br /> With a somber face, Mitchel said, "I'll only say it once. Forget about what happened here today. Leave Raegan alone."<br /> <br /> The aura he exuded made her tongue go dry. All the vicious ideas she had in store against Raegan disappeared in an instant. <br /> <br /> She stammered, "Ok... Okay, got it..."<br /> <br /> Mitchel cast a cold glance at her and spoke to Matteo. "Irrelevant people wouldn't be allowed in here from today onwards."<br /> <br /> Without catching the drift, Tessa flattered Mitchel. "Nice call. This is a top company. Not everyone gains access in here."<br /> <br /> Matteo nodded to Mitchel and then walked over to Tessa. He gestured to the exit. "Ms. Lloyd, this way, please."<br /> <br /> It wasn't until this moment that Tessa realized that she was the irrelevant person Mitchel just mentioned. She tried to speak to him, but Matteo blocked her way. The security guards then escorted her out. <br /> <br /> They showed her no mercy. Her struggle was useless. <br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Raegan got changed when she returned to her office. <br /> <br /> Her heart was filled with sadness as she thought of how Mitchel looked at her minutes ago. <br /> <br /> Closing hour soon rolled by. <br /> <br /> Raegan took her bag and headed for the exit. However, Matteo stopped her. <br /> <br /> He said, "Mr. Dixon has something urgent to deal with, so he asked me to drive you home."<br /> <br /> Raegan declined the ride without thinking twice. <br /> <br /> She was blind before, but now she could see through the situation. <br /> <br /> In Mitchel's eyes, she was just a nobody. <br /> <br /> How could Mitchel agree to accompany her to visit her grandmother when he didn't even care about her? <br /> <br /> Upon arriving at the hospital, Raegan saw that the nurse was about to feed her grandmother dinner. Raegan took the job over and did it by herself. <br /> <br /> All her life, her grandmother had been living in the countryside, enjoying a quiet life. Everything changed last month when her routine medical checkup showed that she was in need of medical care. Raegan insisted on bringing her to the city for better treatment. <br /> <br /> Her grandmother wasn't aware of her marriage to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> Raegan had planned to surprise her today. But as it turned out, that was no longer necessary. <br /> <br /> Raegan waited for her grandmother to fall asleep before she left. She walked out of the hospital and waited for a taxi. <br /> <br /> In the distance, a black luxury car pulled into the entrance of the hospital. <br /> <br /> Raegan's eyes lit up when she saw it. She recognized that car as Mitchel's. <br /> <br /> Did he come to pick her up? <br /> <br /> At this moment, she forgot all the pain she had been feeling. <br /> <br /> Were her thoughts about him all wrong? Did he care for her, contrary to the gossip? <br /> <br /> The door of the driver's side opened and Mitchel got out. <br /> <br /> Raegan started walking toward him with her heart brimming with joy. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, she stopped dead in her tracks. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had just walked over to the other side and carried a woman out of the car. <br /> <br /> Worry and compassion were written all over his handsome face. <br /> <br /> This wiped the smile on Raegan's face. Her heart sank. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 3 Let's Divorce<br /> <br /> Mitchel's tall and straight figure got closer and closer to Raegan. And then, without saying a word, he strode past Raegan. <br /> <br /> It was hard to tell if Mitchel saw Raegan or just ignored her. <br /> <br /> Regardless, Raegan noticed that the woman in his arms was the same one who had been photographed with him yesterday. <br /> <br /> She was Lauren. <br /> <br /> Raegan's shoes felt like they were made of lead as she walked away. <br /> <br /> She lost all awareness of her surroundings. She got into a taxi absentmindedly. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, the driver uttered, "Ma'am, where to?"<br /> <br /> Raegan was stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> She didn't want to go back to Serenity Villas. It was only a matter of time before that place stopped being her home. <br /> <br /> After a while, she replied, "Please take me to Crystal Bay."<br /> <br /> She had purchased an apartment at Crystal Bay after getting married to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> At the time, she had hopes of bringing her grandmother to the city, so she bought the apartment on mortgage. It wasn't that big, but it had more than enough space for two people. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't understand why she wanted to buy an apartment. He offered to give her a bigger one, but she declined. <br /> <br /> Looking back now, she realized that buying that apartment was the only wise decision she had ever made in the last two years. <br /> <br /> When she arrived at the apartment complex, Raegan sat in the park alone, trying to cool herself down. <br /> <br /> The memories of the past two years were bittersweet. <br /> <br /> Two years had passed in the blink of an eye even though it was more than seven hundred days and nights. <br /> <br /> Love could move mountains, they said. <br /> <br /> Yet, her love didn't move that stone of a man. She finally realized what a fool she had been. She had been making herself a laughingstock in front of everyone. <br /> <br /> It was already late in the night before Raegan finally decided to go into her apartment. <br /> <br /> As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Mitchel standing in front of the door. <br /> <br /> His sleeves were rolled up casually, and the top buttons of his shirt were undone, which revealed his long neck and part of his collarbone. He was leaning on the wall by the door, his handsome face straight. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a moment. <br /> <br /> Why was he here? Didn't she see him at the hospital with Lauren? What brought him here? <br /> <br /> Their eyes met. With his coat draped over his arm and one of his hands in his pocket, Mitchel squinted at her. <br /> <br /> "Why didn't you answer the phone?" he asked, sounding a little grumpy like someone who hadn't slept in a long time. <br /> <br /> Raegan took out her phone and saw she had accidentally put it on DND. <br /> <br /> There were five missed calls from Mitchel. <br /> <br /> This marked the first time in their two-year marriage. <br /> <br /> Mitchel blew up her phone because he couldn't find her? Surprising! <br /> <br /> Before today, she would have been overjoyed by this. People would've thought she won the lottery. <br /> <br /> But now, she just threw her phone back into her bag, folded her arms, and said in a hoarse voice, "I didn't hear it ring."<br /> <br /> Mitchel raised his hand to check the time on the watch, and said impatiently, "I've been looking for you for two hours."<br /> <br /> After arranging everything for Lauren, he returned home to find an empty house. He looked for Raegan everywhere. When he couldn't find her, he asked Matteo to check the surveillance footage of all the roads that led away from the company. <br /> <br /> He later found out that Raegan went to Crystal Bay without telling him. <br /> <br /> "Next time, tell me when you are coming here, okay? Let's go home now." After that, Mitchel walked toward the elevator without sparing her another glance. <br /> <br /> He meant to go back to Serenity Villas. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn't move an inch. She just stared at his broad back and pondered reluctantly. <br /> <br /> Would they have a future? <br /> <br /> Mitchell turned around, only to see that Raegan hadn't taken a single step. He frowned and asked, "Can't you walk? Do you want me to carry you instead?"<br /> <br /> The light in the corridor illuminated his face, making his side profile almost impeccable. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and said, "Let's divorce."<br /> <br /> "What do you mean?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel's voice was cold, and his handsome face changed immediately. <br /> <br /> "I want to move into my own place. After all, we will be strangers soon."<br /> <br /> Raegan forced a smile, but her heart was aching as if someone was tearing it apart bit by bit. <br /> <br /> "We will be strangers?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel smiled coldly. "Raegan, what do you think our relationship is now?"<br /> <br /> His questioning left Raegan stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had made it very clear to her from the very beginning. This facade of their marriage had happened by mutual agreement. There was no love. In the eyes of others, they were nothing more than just a superior and a subordinate. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was quite the catch in Ardlens. Many young ladies longed for his love and were even willing to throw themselves at him. <br /> <br /> His question just now reminded her of that fact. Was he afraid that she wouldn't let him go that easily? If that was the case, he couldn't be more wrong... <br /> <br /> After biting her lower lip to conceal her bitterness, Raegan said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Dixon. I was giving it too much thought. Anyway, please leave me alone from now on. You don't have to come here again."<br /> <br /> After saying that, Raegan couldn't help but burst into tears. <br /> <br /> How could she not be sad when she was cutting ties with the man she had loved for a decade? It was such a long time. <br /> <br /> Regardless of how difficult it was, she knew it was time to let go. <br /> <br /> It was high time she stopped being a fool. <br /> <br /> Strangely, the light in the corridor began flickering. <br /> <br /> The deathly stare Mitchel was giving Raegan right now made the atmosphere seem like the moment before an attack in a horror movie. <br /> <br /> Although he understood that Raegan sometimes could throw a tantrum, he felt that she had just crossed the line now. <br /> <br /> His eyes shone like blazing torches at this moment. But when he saw the tears in her eyes, the rage inside him extinguished in an instant. He said in a low voice, "If this is about what happened between you and Tessa, I..."<br /> <br /> "No, this isn't about her. Mr. Dixon, please leave now."<br /> <br /> A lot of things happened between them. And the incident with Tessa didn't come close to any. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt exhausted. She passed by Mitchel and was about to open the door. <br /> <br /> Yet, Mitchel was displeased with her stubbornness. <br /> <br /> He loosened his tie irritably. He then took a step forward and grabbed her wrist. <br /> <br /> "Stop this, will you?"<br /> <br /> A second later, he put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his arms. <br /> <br /> He instantly realized that she was burning up like someone who had been set on fire. <br /> <br /> "You have a fever?"<br /> <br /> Raegan felt dizzy. She rested her head on his chest weakly. <br /> <br /> This made the whole situation complicated. <br /> <br /> Reagan was slow to catch that. When she finally realized that her body was too close to his, she put her hands against his chest and tried to pull back. <br /> <br /> Before she could escape, Mitchel pulled her back and held her by the waist. With a cold face, he said in a low voice, "Where do you think you are going?"<br /> <br /> The light flickered again. Out of the blue, Mitchel lifted her up. <br /> <br /> He then headed for the elevator. <br /> <br /> In a daze, Raegan asked softly, "What are you doing?"<br /> <br /> "What does it look like I am doing?" Mitchel remarked. "Taking you to the hospital, of course."<br /> <br /> "No way!" Raegan cried out in surprise and seemed to regain more strength. <br /> <br /> Mitchel might find out about her condition if they went to the hospital.<br /> <br /> Raegan struggled to get out of Mitchel's arms. However, his tight grip made her efforts fruitless. <br /> <br /> "Don't be so stubborn. You are sick, so you must see the doctor," Mitchel said firmly. <br /> <br /> He walked to the elevator with her in his arms. At this moment, Raegan's heart was thumping so hard that it could jump out of her chest. She flailed in protest. <br /> <br /> "Put me down! I don't want to go to the hospital!"<br /> &5& | Romantic Novel Town | 11926 | https://facebook.com/100083419995460 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714719600 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

"Congratulations! You are going to be a mom."<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Mitchel Dixon pinched her arm. His low voice came the next second. "Come back to earth. What are you thinking about?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel was her husband. They had been married secretly for two years. He was her superior at work, the president of the Dixon Group. <br /> <br /> Everything had happened so fast. She was newly employed in the company when they unexpectedly got married. <br /> <br /> At that time, Mitchel's grandfather fell seriously ill. It was then he proposed a fake marriage just to fulfill his grandfather's dying wish. <br /> <br /> They signed a prenup, agreeing to hide their marriage from the public. Their union could be terminated at any time. <br /> <br /> It was an unconventional thing to do. However, Raegan only considered herself lucky at that time. <br /> <br /> Never in a million years did she think she would ever get married to the man she had a crush on for eight years. She delightfully agreed. <br /> <br /> After their marriage, Mitchel was very busy. He spent most of his time working. <br /> <br /> Raegan wished she could spend more time with him at home. However, she was rest assured because there hadn't been any rumors or scandals about him with women in the past two years. <br /> <br /> Except for his mild indifference, Mitchel was a perfect husband. <br /> <br /> Raegan had mixed feelings as she stared at the medical report. <br /> <br /> In the end, she decided to tell Mitchel this news. <br /> <br /> She also wanted to tell him that she hadn't learned about him for the first time two years ago and that she had been crushing on him for many years before then. <br /> <br /> Just then, Mitchelโs phone rang. He went to the balcony and answered the phone. <br /> <br /> Raegan checked the time and found that it was already midnight. <br /> <br /> She felt a little uneasy. Who would call Mitchel at this hour? <br /> <br /> Mitchel spent a few minutes on the balcony. Thereafter, he returned and changed into formal attire. His handsome face which had a clear outline made him look dignified. <br /> <br /> He was something to see now. <br /> <br /> "Don't wait up for me. Good night," he said finally. <br /> <br /> What? He was on his way out? At this hour? <br /> <br /> Raegan's grip on the report tightened as she stared at him in disappointment. Unconsciously, she withdrew slightly. After thinking for a while, she blurted out, "It's already so late."<br /> <br /> Mitchel's fingers froze on his tie. With a faint smile, he pinched her earlobe and said, "Be good, okay? There's something I have to do. Don't wait up."<br /> <br /> With that, he headed for the door. <br /> <br /> "Mitchel."<br /> <br /> Raegan quickly ran and caught up with him. <br /> <br /> Mitchel turned around and looked at her seriously. <br /> <br /> "What's the matter?"<br /> <br /> There was a tinge of coldness to his voice. An icy cloud hung over them as they stared at each other. <br /> <br /> A little distressed, Raegan asked in a low voice, "I would like to visit my grandma tomorrow. Can you accompany me there?"<br /> <br /> Her grandmother always wanted to see her. As a result, Raegan wanted to take Mitchel there to assure her grandma they were happy. <br /> <br /> "Let's talk about it tomorrow, okay?" Without agreeing or declining, Mitchel left in a hurry. <br /> <br /> Several thoughts were threading Raegan's mind. She couldn't sleep a wink. <br /> <br /> After tossing and turning for a long time, she went to the kitchen and made herself a warm glass of milk. <br /> <br /> A few notifications from some online blogs came into her phone. <br /> <br /> However, she wasn't interested in them. She was about to swipe them away when one of them caught her attention. The familiar name made her click on it. <br /> <br /> The news read, "Famous designer, Lauren Murray was spotted at the airport with her mysterious boyfriend earlier today."<br /> <br /> Lauren was wearing a bucket hat. The man's figure was vague, but the outline of his body was enough to show that he was dashing. <br /> <br /> Raegan zoomed in on the picture. The next second, her heart dropped. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was the man in the picture! <br /> <br /> So, he canceled the afternoon meeting just to go pick up his ex-girlfriend from the airport? <br /> <br /> This realization settled like a boulder in Raegan's gut, rendering her flustered. <br /> <br /> Her hands trembled. Subconsciously, she dialed Mitchel's number. <br /> <br /> The dial tone brought her back to her senses. Just as she was about to hang up, the line connected, and a voice came from the other end. <br /> <br /> "Hello!"<br /> <br /> It was a particularly gentle woman's voice. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a second and then threw the phone away. <br /> <br /> She suddenly felt sick in her stomach. Covering her mouth, she ran into the bathroom and threw up in the toilet bowl. <br /> <br /> The next morning, Raegan went to work on time. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had tried to get her to stop working after they got married. Stubbornly, she insisted on making her own money. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't kick against her decision, but he asked her to work as his assistant, helping him with the daily chores. <br /> <br /> The head assistant, Matteo Jenkins was left to take care of the major affairs Mitchel had. <br /> <br /> Matteo was the only Dixon Group employee who knew about their marriage. <br /> <br /> Since inception, only male assistants were hired for the president's office. Reagan was the first and only female. Her employment broke the protocol. As a result, other workers couldn't help but wonder if she was involved with Mitchel. <br /> <br /> It took a while before they realized that Mitchel never gave Raegan special treatment. Strangely, this made them despise her even more. <br /> <br /> After all, no one would last long in anything while taking advantage of their looks.<br /> <br /> At this time, one of Raegan's colleagues handed her a document and ordered her to take it to Mitchel's office. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't return home last night. Raegan was so worried that she didn't sleep at all. <br /> <br /> All she kept thinking about was the woman who answered his phone when she called. What was her relationship with Mitchel?<br /> <br /> Raegan already knew the answer to that, but she was still in denial. <br /> <br /> It was difficult for her to come to terms with that fact. <br /> <br /> Raegan tried to remain calm now. She reasoned that no matter what happened, she deserved a result that would be rewarding for all the years she spent loving Mitchel. This couldn't be all for nothing, right? <br /> <br /> She pressed the elevator button calmly and went up to the president's office. Before she walked out of the elevator, she smoothed her hair to make sure she looked good. <br /> <br /> She had arrived at the office, only to see that the door was ajar. A man's voice came. She halted instantly. <br /> <br /> "Come on, man! Do you have any feelings for Raegan or not?"<br /> <br /> The voice belonged to Luis Stevens, a childhood friend of Mitchel's. <br /> <br /> "What do you mean exactly?" Mitchel asked in a cold voice. <br /> <br /> "You know exactly what I mean!" Luis clicked his tongue impatiently and added, "I think Raegan is a good girl. Isn't she your type?"<br /> <br /> "Do you want me to hand her over to you?" Mitchel asked carelessly. <br /> <br /> "You know what, forget it!"<br /> <br /> The scornful laughter of Luis sounded particularly harsh in Raegan's ears. <br /> <br /> They were talking about her as if she were an object. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and tightened her grip on the document. <br /> <br /> Soon, Luis's voice was heard again. <br /> <br /> "By the way, I saw the gossip news about Lauren's mysterious boyfriend this morning. That was you, right?"<br /> <br /> "Yes."<br /> <br /> "Well, well, well! That woman still has you wrapped around her little finger. You always want to please her."<br /> <br /> Luis sighed and continued to tease Mitchel. "As the old saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Tell me, did you two..."<br /> <br /> Their conversation was like a thunder exploding over Raegan's head. <br /> <br /> Her face turned pale and her body was as cold as ice. <br /> <br /> The woman was indeed Lauren! <br /> <br /> Absence made the heart grow fonder! <br /> <br /> Every word drove a knife into her heart. <br /> <br /> Several whispering voices filled her head at this time. She suddenly felt light-headed. Her vision became blurry. <br /> <br /> She held the wall and took a step backward. Suddenly, the door was opened from inside. <br /> <br /> "Raegan?"<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 2 One-sided Love<br /> <br /> Luis was the one who opened the door. It appeared he was on his way out. <br /> <br /> Raegan balled her hands, turned to him, and nodded. "Hey, Mr. Stevens!"<br /> <br /> Without waiting for him to respond to her greeting, she walked past him and entered the office with the document. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was seated behind a large luxurious desk. In an expensive suit and matching tie, he looked particularly handsome. <br /> <br /> Raegan noticed it wasn't the same suit he had on when he left home last night. How did he get changed? <br /> <br /> With her eyes lowered, she swallowed that question and said instead, "Mr. Dixon, this is from the Marketing Department. Please sign it."<br /> <br /> Mitchel was expressionless as he signed the document at a glance. <br /> <br /> Raegan walked out the door as soon as he handed the document back to her. Luis was still standing at the threshold. <br /> <br /> It wasn't until she went out of sight that Luis turned to Mitchel and said in a hushed tone, "Do you think she heard us?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel's appealing eyes were expressionless at the moment. Obviously, he wasn't paying attention to what Luis was saying. <br /> <br /> To Mitchel, Raegan had always been docile and never felt jealous of anyone. <br /> <br /> Her strict obedience was all Mitchel demanded from her in exchange for treating her well. <br /> <br /> In the elevator. <br /> <br /> Raegan held her breath just to hold back her tears. Unfortunately, it didn't work. <br /> <br /> She had thought two years would be enough for Mitchel to realize how much she loved him and reciprocate her love. <br /> <br /> Now, it turned out that was just a pipe dream. <br /> <br /> She realized she would always play second fiddle to Lauren, Mitchel's true love. <br /> <br /> Reagan wiped her tears when the elevator halted. Save for her pale face, she looked normal when the doors opened. <br /> <br /> She dragged herself to the break room, intending to make herself a cup of tea. <br /> <br /> Several employees were chatting inside. <br /> <br /> "Guys, have you heard? Lauren Murray is back."<br /> <br /> "And who is that?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, my! You don't know her? Lauren is the heiress of the Murray Group as well as a world-class designer. Most importantly, she's the only girlfriend Mr. Dixon has ever shown off in public. She's his first love!"<br /> <br /> "Why is her return such a big deal? Isn't it rumored that there is something between Mr. Dixon and Raegan?"<br /> <br /> "Raegan? She's nothing to Mr. Dixon. Mr. Dixon never admitted that he was dating her. And that is no surprise to me. After all, look at her. She's not even that beautiful. Yet, she behaves as if she's already Mrs. Dixon. What a fool!"<br /> <br /> Standing at the door, Raegan smiled with self-mockery as she listened to them. It turned out everyone else saw the truth except her. <br /> <br /> The love was one-sided. <br /> <br /> "Ha-ha, have you finally woken up from your wild dream, Raegan?"<br /> <br /> A voice of mockery suddenly came from behind. Raegan turned around to see Tessa Lloyd, Mitchel's cousin, who had always despised her. <br /> <br /> Tessa must have also heard the employees gossiping. <br /> <br /> The last thing Raegan wanted to do now was argue with Tessa in the company. She turned to leave, but Tessa blocked her way. <br /> <br /> With a cup of coffee in her hand, Tessa uttered sarcastically, "Lauren is back now. Do you think Mitchel will still give you any attention?"<br /> <br /> Raegan said nothing to that. <br /> <br /> Seconds later, Tessa continued the ridicule. "Maybe itโs time for you to seek out another man, you pathetic fool."<br /> <br /> Raegan clenched her fists and said coldly, "Ms. Lloyd, if you are interested in that kind of thing, feel free to pursue it yourself."<br /> <br /> "You..."<br /> <br /> Raegan's retort made Tessa's face change. <br /> <br /> The next second, Tessa raised her hand and emptied the cup of coffee on Raegan. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn't think for a second that Tessa would do something so crazy. She held up her arms just to block the liquid from her face. In no time, the coffee drenched her clothes. <br /> <br /> Raegan frowned. "What did you do that for? Are you out of your mind?"<br /> <br /> It was lunch break and many employees were free to watch the drama. Tessa was even more complacent when she saw growing onlookers. <br /> <br /> She put on a mean-girl look as she said, "What makes you so smug every day, huh? Do you seriously think that others don't know you are just an orphan? The nerve of..."<br /> <br /> Tessa was silenced by Raeganโs shove. <br /> <br /> Her jaw dropped to the floor. She had never expected that Raegan, who was so quiet and timid, would shove her. <br /> <br /> Tessa stuttered, "You... You pushed me? How dare you!"<br /> <br /> Raegan eyed her and replied, "Yes, I did! It seems you need to be taught simple politeness."<br /> <br /> Indeed, she lost her parents when she was a child. But that didn't mean she would allow someone to walk over her for it. <br /> <br /> Wrinkles appeared on Tessa's face as she frowned in anger. As Mitchel's cousin, she was used to being fawned over and respected. This was the first time she had been treated like this. <br /> <br /> Tessa charged at Raegan like a raging bull, poised to retaliate. <br /> <br /> This time, Raegan was fully prepared for what was coming. She grabbed Tessa's wrist so that the latter couldn't move another inch. <br /> <br /> Tessa was shorter than Raegan. As a result, she struggled like an octopus that had one of its tentacles stuck in a fishing trap. <br /> <br /> Tessa cursed angrily, "How dare you put your hands on me? Who do you think you are?"<br /> <br /> These harsh words attracted more people to the break room. <br /> <br /> "That's enough!"<br /> <br /> Out of the blue, a baritone came from behind. Mitchel had left his office and ran into this hullabaloo. <br /> <br /> The entire room fell silent. <br /> <br /> "Mitchel?" Tessa's blood ran cold at the sight of Mitchel. She had always been scared of him. Her mother also warned her against provoking him. <br /> <br /> But when she remembered that Raegan humiliated her, she put on a pitiful expression and sobbed. "Mitchel, she bullied me."<br /> <br /> The sunlight from outside fell on Mitchel's handsome face. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt so grieved all of a sudden, and lowered her head to look at her clothes which were soaked with coffee. <br /> <br /> Their gaze met in the air. With a deep frown, Mitchel looked at Raegan and said, "Raegan, have you forgotten the rules of the company?"<br /> <br /> His ruthlessness made Raegan's breathing cease. She couldn't believe her ears. <br /> <br /> No one dared to make a sound at this moment. <br /> <br /> Raegan just stood straight there with her slender figure. <br /> <br /> When she got employed here, Mitchel had told her that the Dixon Group wasn't a place for her to mess around and that he would not tolerate her making any mistakes. <br /> <br /> Raegan could understand why he took this stand. <br /> <br /> However, at this moment, she was desperate to know whether Mitchel had heard those hard words Tessa scolded her or he was just pretending not to have heard because he agreed to those words. <br /> <br /> Was she truly insignificant to him?<br /> <br /> Scared to death by Mitchel's rage, the crowd soon dispersed. A few employees were bold enough to peep from a distance, unwilling to miss the good show. <br /> <br /> Mitchel's cold eyes made Raegan shiver from head to toe. <br /> <br /> Raegan pinched her palm to suppress her emotions as she looked at Tessa. <br /> <br /> "I'm sorry, Ms. Lloyd. As an employee of the Dixon Group, it was wrong of me to have offended you."<br /> <br /> Eyeing Raegan, Tessa raised her chin complacently. "Humph! Don't think you'll be let off the hook just by making a simple apology. I don't buy..."<br /> <br /> "The offence has nothing to do with the company. Personally, I refuse to apologize to you. Now, if you'd excuse me," Raegan chimed in. <br /> <br /> She then walked past Mitchel without sparing him another look. <br /> <br /> "You..."<br /> <br /> Tessa's face turned blue after hearing what Raegan said. <br /> <br /> Never in her years of being alive had she been so humiliated. She was always the bully, not the victim! <br /> <br /> The humiliation was so much that scolding Raegan wouldn't appease her anger. <br /> <br /> Pointing in Raegan's direction, Tessa shouted, "Mitchel, did you hear what that woman just said? She humiliated me, yet she's still so arrogant. Call her back. I have to teach her some manners!"<br /> <br /> Mitchel, staring at Raegan's thin back, had an ambiguous expression at this moment. <br /> <br /> "Enough!" he said coldly, raising his hand. <br /> <br /> As someone who lived and breathed drama and cruelty, Tessa didn't think Mitchel was partial to Raegan just now. She assumed that Mitchel didn't care about Raegan at all. <br /> <br /> Tessa gritted her teeth and said viciously, "Next time, I'll get someone to teach her a lesson."<br /> <br /> "Tessa!" Mitchel's tone and squint made it a reproof. <br /> <br /> Tessa trembled at once. <br /> <br /> With a somber face, Mitchel said, "I'll only say it once. Forget about what happened here today. Leave Raegan alone."<br /> <br /> The aura he exuded made her tongue go dry. All the vicious ideas she had in store against Raegan disappeared in an instant. <br /> <br /> She stammered, "Ok... Okay, got it..."<br /> <br /> Mitchel cast a cold glance at her and spoke to Matteo. "Irrelevant people wouldn't be allowed in here from today onwards."<br /> <br /> Without catching the drift, Tessa flattered Mitchel. "Nice call. This is a top company. Not everyone gains access in here."<br /> <br /> Matteo nodded to Mitchel and then walked over to Tessa. He gestured to the exit. "Ms. Lloyd, this way, please."<br /> <br /> It wasn't until this moment that Tessa realized that she was the irrelevant person Mitchel just mentioned. She tried to speak to him, but Matteo blocked her way. The security guards then escorted her out. <br /> <br /> They showed her no mercy. Her struggle was useless. <br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Raegan got changed when she returned to her office. <br /> <br /> Her heart was filled with sadness as she thought of how Mitchel looked at her minutes ago. <br /> <br /> Closing hour soon rolled by. <br /> <br /> Raegan took her bag and headed for the exit. However, Matteo stopped her. <br /> <br /> He said, "Mr. Dixon has something urgent to deal with, so he asked me to drive you home."<br /> <br /> Raegan declined the ride without thinking twice. <br /> <br /> She was blind before, but now she could see through the situation. <br /> <br /> In Mitchel's eyes, she was just a nobody. <br /> <br /> How could Mitchel agree to accompany her to visit her grandmother when he didn't even care about her? <br /> <br /> Upon arriving at the hospital, Raegan saw that the nurse was about to feed her grandmother dinner. Raegan took the job over and did it by herself. <br /> <br /> All her life, her grandmother had been living in the countryside, enjoying a quiet life. Everything changed last month when her routine medical checkup showed that she was in need of medical care. Raegan insisted on bringing her to the city for better treatment. <br /> <br /> Her grandmother wasn't aware of her marriage to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> Raegan had planned to surprise her today. But as it turned out, that was no longer necessary. <br /> <br /> Raegan waited for her grandmother to fall asleep before she left. She walked out of the hospital and waited for a taxi. <br /> <br /> In the distance, a black luxury car pulled into the entrance of the hospital. <br /> <br /> Raegan's eyes lit up when she saw it. She recognized that car as Mitchel's. <br /> <br /> Did he come to pick her up? <br /> <br /> At this moment, she forgot all the pain she had been feeling. <br /> <br /> Were her thoughts about him all wrong? Did he care for her, contrary to the gossip? <br /> <br /> The door of the driver's side opened and Mitchel got out. <br /> <br /> Raegan started walking toward him with her heart brimming with joy. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, she stopped dead in her tracks. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had just walked over to the other side and carried a woman out of the car. <br /> <br /> Worry and compassion were written all over his handsome face. <br /> <br /> This wiped the smile on Raegan's face. Her heart sank. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 3 Let's Divorce<br /> <br /> Mitchel's tall and straight figure got closer and closer to Raegan. And then, without saying a word, he strode past Raegan. <br /> <br /> It was hard to tell if Mitchel saw Raegan or just ignored her. <br /> <br /> Regardless, Raegan noticed that the woman in his arms was the same one who had been photographed with him yesterday. <br /> <br /> She was Lauren. <br /> <br /> Raegan's shoes felt like they were made of lead as she walked away. <br /> <br /> She lost all awareness of her surroundings. She got into a taxi absentmindedly. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, the driver uttered, "Ma'am, where to?"<br /> <br /> Raegan was stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> She didn't want to go back to Serenity Villas. It was only a matter of time before that place stopped being her home. <br /> <br /> After a while, she replied, "Please take me to Crystal Bay."<br /> <br /> She had purchased an apartment at Crystal Bay after getting married to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> At the time, she had hopes of bringing her grandmother to the city, so she bought the apartment on mortgage. It wasn't that big, but it had more than enough space for two people. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't understand why she wanted to buy an apartment. He offered to give her a bigger one, but she declined. <br /> <br /> Looking back now, she realized that buying that apartment was the only wise decision she had ever made in the last two years. <br /> <br /> When she arrived at the apartment complex, Raegan sat in the park alone, trying to cool herself down. <br /> <br /> The memories of the past two years were bittersweet. <br /> <br /> Two years had passed in the blink of an eye even though it was more than seven hundred days and nights. <br /> <br /> Love could move mountains, they said. <br /> <br /> Yet, her love didn't move that stone of a man. She finally realized what a fool she had been. She had been making herself a laughingstock in front of everyone. <br /> <br /> It was already late in the night before Raegan finally decided to go into her apartment. <br /> <br /> As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Mitchel standing in front of the door. <br /> <br /> His sleeves were rolled up casually, and the top buttons of his shirt were undone, which revealed his long neck and part of his collarbone. He was leaning on the wall by the door, his handsome face straight. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a moment. <br /> <br /> Why was he here? Didn't she see him at the hospital with Lauren? What brought him here? <br /> <br /> Their eyes met. With his coat draped over his arm and one of his hands in his pocket, Mitchel squinted at her. <br /> <br /> "Why didn't you answer the phone?" he asked, sounding a little grumpy like someone who hadn't slept in a long time. <br /> <br /> Raegan took out her phone and saw she had accidentally put it on DND. <br /> <br /> There were five missed calls from Mitchel. <br /> <br /> This marked the first time in their two-year marriage. <br /> <br /> Mitchel blew up her phone because he couldn't find her? Surprising! <br /> <br /> Before today, she would have been overjoyed by this. People would've thought she won the lottery. <br /> <br /> But now, she just threw her phone back into her bag, folded her arms, and said in a hoarse voice, "I didn't hear it ring."<br /> <br /> Mitchel raised his hand to check the time on the watch, and said impatiently, "I've been looking for you for two hours."<br /> <br /> After arranging everything for Lauren, he returned home to find an empty house. He looked for Raegan everywhere. When he couldn't find her, he asked Matteo to check the surveillance footage of all the roads that led away from the company. <br /> <br /> He later found out that Raegan went to Crystal Bay without telling him. <br /> <br /> "Next time, tell me when you are coming here, okay? Let's go home now." After that, Mitchel walked toward the elevator without sparing her another glance. <br /> <br /> He meant to go back to Serenity Villas. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn't move an inch. She just stared at his broad back and pondered reluctantly. <br /> <br /> Would they have a future? <br /> <br /> Mitchell turned around, only to see that Raegan hadn't taken a single step. He frowned and asked, "Can't you walk? Do you want me to carry you instead?"<br /> <br /> The light in the corridor illuminated his face, making his side profile almost impeccable. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and said, "Let's divorce."<br /> <br /> "What do you mean?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel's voice was cold, and his handsome face changed immediately. <br /> <br /> "I want to move into my own place. After all, we will be strangers soon."<br /> <br /> Raegan forced a smile, but her heart was aching as if someone was tearing it apart bit by bit. <br /> <br /> "We will be strangers?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel smiled coldly. "Raegan, what do you think our relationship is now?"<br /> <br /> His questioning left Raegan stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had made it very clear to her from the very beginning. This facade of their marriage had happened by mutual agreement. There was no love. In the eyes of others, they were nothing more than just a superior and a subordinate. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was quite the catch in Ardlens. Many young ladies longed for his love and were even willing to throw themselves at him. <br /> <br /> His question just now reminded her of that fact. Was he afraid that she wouldn't let him go that easily? If that was the case, he couldn't be more wrong... <br /> <br /> After biting her lower lip to conceal her bitterness, Raegan said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Dixon. I was giving it too much thought. Anyway, please leave me alone from now on. You don't have to come here again."<br /> <br /> After saying that, Raegan couldn't help but burst into tears. <br /> <br /> How could she not be sad when she was cutting ties with the man she had loved for a decade? It was such a long time. <br /> <br /> Regardless of how difficult it was, she knew it was time to let go. <br /> <br /> It was high time she stopped being a fool. <br /> <br /> Strangely, the light in the corridor began flickering. <br /> <br /> The deathly stare Mitchel was giving Raegan right now made the atmosphere seem like the moment before an attack in a horror movie. <br /> <br /> Although he understood that Raegan sometimes could throw a tantrum, he felt that she had just crossed the line now. <br /> <br /> His eyes shone like blazing torches at this moment. But when he saw the tears in her eyes, the rage inside him extinguished in an instant. He said in a low voice, "If this is about what happened between you and Tessa, I..."<br /> <br /> "No, this isn't about her. Mr. Dixon, please leave now."<br /> <br /> A lot of things happened between them. And the incident with Tessa didn't come close to any. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt exhausted. She passed by Mitchel and was about to open the door. <br /> <br /> Yet, Mitchel was displeased with her stubbornness. <br /> <br /> He loosened his tie irritably. He then took a step forward and grabbed her wrist. <br /> <br /> "Stop this, will you?"<br /> <br /> A second later, he put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his arms. <br /> <br /> He instantly realized that she was burning up like someone who had been set on fire. <br /> <br /> "You have a fever?"<br /> <br /> Raegan felt dizzy. She rested her head on his chest weakly. <br /> <br /> This made the whole situation complicated. <br /> <br /> Reagan was slow to catch that. When she finally realized that her body was too close to his, she put her hands against his chest and tried to pull back. <br /> <br /> Before she could escape, Mitchel pulled her back and held her by the waist. With a cold face, he said in a low voice, "Where do you think you are going?"<br /> <br /> The light flickered again. Out of the blue, Mitchel lifted her up. <br /> <br /> He then headed for the elevator. <br /> <br /> In a daze, Raegan asked softly, "What are you doing?"<br /> <br /> "What does it look like I am doing?" Mitchel remarked. "Taking you to the hospital, of course."<br /> <br /> "No way!" Raegan cried out in surprise and seemed to regain more strength. <br /> <br /> Mitchel might find out about her condition if they went to the hospital.<br /> <br /> Raegan struggled to get out of Mitchel's arms. However, his tight grip made her efforts fruitless. <br /> <br /> "Don't be so stubborn. You are sick, so you must see the doctor," Mitchel said firmly. <br /> <br /> He walked to the elevator with her in his arms. At this moment, Raegan's heart was thumping so hard that it could jump out of her chest. She flailed in protest. <br /> <br /> "Put me down! I don't want to go to the hospital!"<br /> &5& | Romantic Novel Town | 11926 | https://facebook.com/100083419995460 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714719600 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

"Congratulations! You are going to be a mom."<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Mitchel Dixon pinched her arm. His low voice came the next second. "Come back to earth. What are you thinking about?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel was her husband. They had been married secretly for two years. He was her superior at work, the president of the Dixon Group. <br /> <br /> Everything had happened so fast. She was newly employed in the company when they unexpectedly got married. <br /> <br /> At that time, Mitchel's grandfather fell seriously ill. It was then he proposed a fake marriage just to fulfill his grandfather's dying wish. <br /> <br /> They signed a prenup, agreeing to hide their marriage from the public. Their union could be terminated at any time. <br /> <br /> It was an unconventional thing to do. However, Raegan only considered herself lucky at that time. <br /> <br /> Never in a million years did she think she would ever get married to the man she had a crush on for eight years. She delightfully agreed. <br /> <br /> After their marriage, Mitchel was very busy. He spent most of his time working. <br /> <br /> Raegan wished she could spend more time with him at home. However, she was rest assured because there hadn't been any rumors or scandals about him with women in the past two years. <br /> <br /> Except for his mild indifference, Mitchel was a perfect husband. <br /> <br /> Raegan had mixed feelings as she stared at the medical report. <br /> <br /> In the end, she decided to tell Mitchel this news. <br /> <br /> She also wanted to tell him that she hadn't learned about him for the first time two years ago and that she had been crushing on him for many years before then. <br /> <br /> Just then, Mitchelโs phone rang. He went to the balcony and answered the phone. <br /> <br /> Raegan checked the time and found that it was already midnight. <br /> <br /> She felt a little uneasy. Who would call Mitchel at this hour? <br /> <br /> Mitchel spent a few minutes on the balcony. Thereafter, he returned and changed into formal attire. His handsome face which had a clear outline made him look dignified. <br /> <br /> He was something to see now. <br /> <br /> "Don't wait up for me. Good night," he said finally. <br /> <br /> What? He was on his way out? At this hour? <br /> <br /> Raegan's grip on the report tightened as she stared at him in disappointment. Unconsciously, she withdrew slightly. After thinking for a while, she blurted out, "It's already so late."<br /> <br /> Mitchel's fingers froze on his tie. With a faint smile, he pinched her earlobe and said, "Be good, okay? There's something I have to do. Don't wait up."<br /> <br /> With that, he headed for the door. <br /> <br /> "Mitchel."<br /> <br /> Raegan quickly ran and caught up with him. <br /> <br /> Mitchel turned around and looked at her seriously. <br /> <br /> "What's the matter?"<br /> <br /> There was a tinge of coldness to his voice. An icy cloud hung over them as they stared at each other. <br /> <br /> A little distressed, Raegan asked in a low voice, "I would like to visit my grandma tomorrow. Can you accompany me there?"<br /> <br /> Her grandmother always wanted to see her. As a result, Raegan wanted to take Mitchel there to assure her grandma they were happy. <br /> <br /> "Let's talk about it tomorrow, okay?" Without agreeing or declining, Mitchel left in a hurry. <br /> <br /> Several thoughts were threading Raegan's mind. She couldn't sleep a wink. <br /> <br /> After tossing and turning for a long time, she went to the kitchen and made herself a warm glass of milk. <br /> <br /> A few notifications from some online blogs came into her phone. <br /> <br /> However, she wasn't interested in them. She was about to swipe them away when one of them caught her attention. The familiar name made her click on it. <br /> <br /> The news read, "Famous designer, Lauren Murray was spotted at the airport with her mysterious boyfriend earlier today."<br /> <br /> Lauren was wearing a bucket hat. The man's figure was vague, but the outline of his body was enough to show that he was dashing. <br /> <br /> Raegan zoomed in on the picture. The next second, her heart dropped. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was the man in the picture! <br /> <br /> So, he canceled the afternoon meeting just to go pick up his ex-girlfriend from the airport? <br /> <br /> This realization settled like a boulder in Raegan's gut, rendering her flustered. <br /> <br /> Her hands trembled. Subconsciously, she dialed Mitchel's number. <br /> <br /> The dial tone brought her back to her senses. Just as she was about to hang up, the line connected, and a voice came from the other end. <br /> <br /> "Hello!"<br /> <br /> It was a particularly gentle woman's voice. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a second and then threw the phone away. <br /> <br /> She suddenly felt sick in her stomach. Covering her mouth, she ran into the bathroom and threw up in the toilet bowl. <br /> <br /> The next morning, Raegan went to work on time. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had tried to get her to stop working after they got married. Stubbornly, she insisted on making her own money. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't kick against her decision, but he asked her to work as his assistant, helping him with the daily chores. <br /> <br /> The head assistant, Matteo Jenkins was left to take care of the major affairs Mitchel had. <br /> <br /> Matteo was the only Dixon Group employee who knew about their marriage. <br /> <br /> Since inception, only male assistants were hired for the president's office. Reagan was the first and only female. Her employment broke the protocol. As a result, other workers couldn't help but wonder if she was involved with Mitchel. <br /> <br /> It took a while before they realized that Mitchel never gave Raegan special treatment. Strangely, this made them despise her even more. <br /> <br /> After all, no one would last long in anything while taking advantage of their looks.<br /> <br /> At this time, one of Raegan's colleagues handed her a document and ordered her to take it to Mitchel's office. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't return home last night. Raegan was so worried that she didn't sleep at all. <br /> <br /> All she kept thinking about was the woman who answered his phone when she called. What was her relationship with Mitchel?<br /> <br /> Raegan already knew the answer to that, but she was still in denial. <br /> <br /> It was difficult for her to come to terms with that fact. <br /> <br /> Raegan tried to remain calm now. She reasoned that no matter what happened, she deserved a result that would be rewarding for all the years she spent loving Mitchel. This couldn't be all for nothing, right? <br /> <br /> She pressed the elevator button calmly and went up to the president's office. Before she walked out of the elevator, she smoothed her hair to make sure she looked good. <br /> <br /> She had arrived at the office, only to see that the door was ajar. A man's voice came. She halted instantly. <br /> <br /> "Come on, man! Do you have any feelings for Raegan or not?"<br /> <br /> The voice belonged to Luis Stevens, a childhood friend of Mitchel's. <br /> <br /> "What do you mean exactly?" Mitchel asked in a cold voice. <br /> <br /> "You know exactly what I mean!" Luis clicked his tongue impatiently and added, "I think Raegan is a good girl. Isn't she your type?"<br /> <br /> "Do you want me to hand her over to you?" Mitchel asked carelessly. <br /> <br /> "You know what, forget it!"<br /> <br /> The scornful laughter of Luis sounded particularly harsh in Raegan's ears. <br /> <br /> They were talking about her as if she were an object. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and tightened her grip on the document. <br /> <br /> Soon, Luis's voice was heard again. <br /> <br /> "By the way, I saw the gossip news about Lauren's mysterious boyfriend this morning. That was you, right?"<br /> <br /> "Yes."<br /> <br /> "Well, well, well! That woman still has you wrapped around her little finger. You always want to please her."<br /> <br /> Luis sighed and continued to tease Mitchel. "As the old saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Tell me, did you two..."<br /> <br /> Their conversation was like a thunder exploding over Raegan's head. <br /> <br /> Her face turned pale and her body was as cold as ice. <br /> <br /> The woman was indeed Lauren! <br /> <br /> Absence made the heart grow fonder! <br /> <br /> Every word drove a knife into her heart. <br /> <br /> Several whispering voices filled her head at this time. She suddenly felt light-headed. Her vision became blurry. <br /> <br /> She held the wall and took a step backward. Suddenly, the door was opened from inside. <br /> <br /> "Raegan?"<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 2 One-sided Love<br /> <br /> Luis was the one who opened the door. It appeared he was on his way out. <br /> <br /> Raegan balled her hands, turned to him, and nodded. "Hey, Mr. Stevens!"<br /> <br /> Without waiting for him to respond to her greeting, she walked past him and entered the office with the document. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was seated behind a large luxurious desk. In an expensive suit and matching tie, he looked particularly handsome. <br /> <br /> Raegan noticed it wasn't the same suit he had on when he left home last night. How did he get changed? <br /> <br /> With her eyes lowered, she swallowed that question and said instead, "Mr. Dixon, this is from the Marketing Department. Please sign it."<br /> <br /> Mitchel was expressionless as he signed the document at a glance. <br /> <br /> Raegan walked out the door as soon as he handed the document back to her. Luis was still standing at the threshold. <br /> <br /> It wasn't until she went out of sight that Luis turned to Mitchel and said in a hushed tone, "Do you think she heard us?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel's appealing eyes were expressionless at the moment. Obviously, he wasn't paying attention to what Luis was saying. <br /> <br /> To Mitchel, Raegan had always been docile and never felt jealous of anyone. <br /> <br /> Her strict obedience was all Mitchel demanded from her in exchange for treating her well. <br /> <br /> In the elevator. <br /> <br /> Raegan held her breath just to hold back her tears. Unfortunately, it didn't work. <br /> <br /> She had thought two years would be enough for Mitchel to realize how much she loved him and reciprocate her love. <br /> <br /> Now, it turned out that was just a pipe dream. <br /> <br /> She realized she would always play second fiddle to Lauren, Mitchel's true love. <br /> <br /> Reagan wiped her tears when the elevator halted. Save for her pale face, she looked normal when the doors opened. <br /> <br /> She dragged herself to the break room, intending to make herself a cup of tea. <br /> <br /> Several employees were chatting inside. <br /> <br /> "Guys, have you heard? Lauren Murray is back."<br /> <br /> "And who is that?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, my! You don't know her? Lauren is the heiress of the Murray Group as well as a world-class designer. Most importantly, she's the only girlfriend Mr. Dixon has ever shown off in public. She's his first love!"<br /> <br /> "Why is her return such a big deal? Isn't it rumored that there is something between Mr. Dixon and Raegan?"<br /> <br /> "Raegan? She's nothing to Mr. Dixon. Mr. Dixon never admitted that he was dating her. And that is no surprise to me. After all, look at her. She's not even that beautiful. Yet, she behaves as if she's already Mrs. Dixon. What a fool!"<br /> <br /> Standing at the door, Raegan smiled with self-mockery as she listened to them. It turned out everyone else saw the truth except her. <br /> <br /> The love was one-sided. <br /> <br /> "Ha-ha, have you finally woken up from your wild dream, Raegan?"<br /> <br /> A voice of mockery suddenly came from behind. Raegan turned around to see Tessa Lloyd, Mitchel's cousin, who had always despised her. <br /> <br /> Tessa must have also heard the employees gossiping. <br /> <br /> The last thing Raegan wanted to do now was argue with Tessa in the company. She turned to leave, but Tessa blocked her way. <br /> <br /> With a cup of coffee in her hand, Tessa uttered sarcastically, "Lauren is back now. Do you think Mitchel will still give you any attention?"<br /> <br /> Raegan said nothing to that. <br /> <br /> Seconds later, Tessa continued the ridicule. "Maybe itโs time for you to seek out another man, you pathetic fool."<br /> <br /> Raegan clenched her fists and said coldly, "Ms. Lloyd, if you are interested in that kind of thing, feel free to pursue it yourself."<br /> <br /> "You..."<br /> <br /> Raegan's retort made Tessa's face change. <br /> <br /> The next second, Tessa raised her hand and emptied the cup of coffee on Raegan. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn't think for a second that Tessa would do something so crazy. She held up her arms just to block the liquid from her face. In no time, the coffee drenched her clothes. <br /> <br /> Raegan frowned. "What did you do that for? Are you out of your mind?"<br /> <br /> It was lunch break and many employees were free to watch the drama. Tessa was even more complacent when she saw growing onlookers. <br /> <br /> She put on a mean-girl look as she said, "What makes you so smug every day, huh? Do you seriously think that others don't know you are just an orphan? The nerve of..."<br /> <br /> Tessa was silenced by Raeganโs shove. <br /> <br /> Her jaw dropped to the floor. She had never expected that Raegan, who was so quiet and timid, would shove her. <br /> <br /> Tessa stuttered, "You... You pushed me? How dare you!"<br /> <br /> Raegan eyed her and replied, "Yes, I did! It seems you need to be taught simple politeness."<br /> <br /> Indeed, she lost her parents when she was a child. But that didn't mean she would allow someone to walk over her for it. <br /> <br /> Wrinkles appeared on Tessa's face as she frowned in anger. As Mitchel's cousin, she was used to being fawned over and respected. This was the first time she had been treated like this. <br /> <br /> Tessa charged at Raegan like a raging bull, poised to retaliate. <br /> <br /> This time, Raegan was fully prepared for what was coming. She grabbed Tessa's wrist so that the latter couldn't move another inch. <br /> <br /> Tessa was shorter than Raegan. As a result, she struggled like an octopus that had one of its tentacles stuck in a fishing trap. <br /> <br /> Tessa cursed angrily, "How dare you put your hands on me? Who do you think you are?"<br /> <br /> These harsh words attracted more people to the break room. <br /> <br /> "That's enough!"<br /> <br /> Out of the blue, a baritone came from behind. Mitchel had left his office and ran into this hullabaloo. <br /> <br /> The entire room fell silent. <br /> <br /> "Mitchel?" Tessa's blood ran cold at the sight of Mitchel. She had always been scared of him. Her mother also warned her against provoking him. <br /> <br /> But when she remembered that Raegan humiliated her, she put on a pitiful expression and sobbed. "Mitchel, she bullied me."<br /> <br /> The sunlight from outside fell on Mitchel's handsome face. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt so grieved all of a sudden, and lowered her head to look at her clothes which were soaked with coffee. <br /> <br /> Their gaze met in the air. With a deep frown, Mitchel looked at Raegan and said, "Raegan, have you forgotten the rules of the company?"<br /> <br /> His ruthlessness made Raegan's breathing cease. She couldn't believe her ears. <br /> <br /> No one dared to make a sound at this moment. <br /> <br /> Raegan just stood straight there with her slender figure. <br /> <br /> When she got employed here, Mitchel had told her that the Dixon Group wasn't a place for her to mess around and that he would not tolerate her making any mistakes. <br /> <br /> Raegan could understand why he took this stand. <br /> <br /> However, at this moment, she was desperate to know whether Mitchel had heard those hard words Tessa scolded her or he was just pretending not to have heard because he agreed to those words. <br /> <br /> Was she truly insignificant to him?<br /> <br /> Scared to death by Mitchel's rage, the crowd soon dispersed. A few employees were bold enough to peep from a distance, unwilling to miss the good show. <br /> <br /> Mitchel's cold eyes made Raegan shiver from head to toe. <br /> <br /> Raegan pinched her palm to suppress her emotions as she looked at Tessa. <br /> <br /> "I'm sorry, Ms. Lloyd. As an employee of the Dixon Group, it was wrong of me to have offended you."<br /> <br /> Eyeing Raegan, Tessa raised her chin complacently. "Humph! Don't think you'll be let off the hook just by making a simple apology. I don't buy..."<br /> <br /> "The offence has nothing to do with the company. Personally, I refuse to apologize to you. Now, if you'd excuse me," Raegan chimed in. <br /> <br /> She then walked past Mitchel without sparing him another look. <br /> <br /> "You..."<br /> <br /> Tessa's face turned blue after hearing what Raegan said. <br /> <br /> Never in her years of being alive had she been so humiliated. She was always the bully, not the victim! <br /> <br /> The humiliation was so much that scolding Raegan wouldn't appease her anger. <br /> <br /> Pointing in Raegan's direction, Tessa shouted, "Mitchel, did you hear what that woman just said? She humiliated me, yet she's still so arrogant. Call her back. I have to teach her some manners!"<br /> <br /> Mitchel, staring at Raegan's thin back, had an ambiguous expression at this moment. <br /> <br /> "Enough!" he said coldly, raising his hand. <br /> <br /> As someone who lived and breathed drama and cruelty, Tessa didn't think Mitchel was partial to Raegan just now. She assumed that Mitchel didn't care about Raegan at all. <br /> <br /> Tessa gritted her teeth and said viciously, "Next time, I'll get someone to teach her a lesson."<br /> <br /> "Tessa!" Mitchel's tone and squint made it a reproof. <br /> <br /> Tessa trembled at once. <br /> <br /> With a somber face, Mitchel said, "I'll only say it once. Forget about what happened here today. Leave Raegan alone."<br /> <br /> The aura he exuded made her tongue go dry. All the vicious ideas she had in store against Raegan disappeared in an instant. <br /> <br /> She stammered, "Ok... Okay, got it..."<br /> <br /> Mitchel cast a cold glance at her and spoke to Matteo. "Irrelevant people wouldn't be allowed in here from today onwards."<br /> <br /> Without catching the drift, Tessa flattered Mitchel. "Nice call. This is a top company. Not everyone gains access in here."<br /> <br /> Matteo nodded to Mitchel and then walked over to Tessa. He gestured to the exit. "Ms. Lloyd, this way, please."<br /> <br /> It wasn't until this moment that Tessa realized that she was the irrelevant person Mitchel just mentioned. She tried to speak to him, but Matteo blocked her way. The security guards then escorted her out. <br /> <br /> They showed her no mercy. Her struggle was useless. <br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Raegan got changed when she returned to her office. <br /> <br /> Her heart was filled with sadness as she thought of how Mitchel looked at her minutes ago. <br /> <br /> Closing hour soon rolled by. <br /> <br /> Raegan took her bag and headed for the exit. However, Matteo stopped her. <br /> <br /> He said, "Mr. Dixon has something urgent to deal with, so he asked me to drive you home."<br /> <br /> Raegan declined the ride without thinking twice. <br /> <br /> She was blind before, but now she could see through the situation. <br /> <br /> In Mitchel's eyes, she was just a nobody. <br /> <br /> How could Mitchel agree to accompany her to visit her grandmother when he didn't even care about her? <br /> <br /> Upon arriving at the hospital, Raegan saw that the nurse was about to feed her grandmother dinner. Raegan took the job over and did it by herself. <br /> <br /> All her life, her grandmother had been living in the countryside, enjoying a quiet life. Everything changed last month when her routine medical checkup showed that she was in need of medical care. Raegan insisted on bringing her to the city for better treatment. <br /> <br /> Her grandmother wasn't aware of her marriage to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> Raegan had planned to surprise her today. But as it turned out, that was no longer necessary. <br /> <br /> Raegan waited for her grandmother to fall asleep before she left. She walked out of the hospital and waited for a taxi. <br /> <br /> In the distance, a black luxury car pulled into the entrance of the hospital. <br /> <br /> Raegan's eyes lit up when she saw it. She recognized that car as Mitchel's. <br /> <br /> Did he come to pick her up? <br /> <br /> At this moment, she forgot all the pain she had been feeling. <br /> <br /> Were her thoughts about him all wrong? Did he care for her, contrary to the gossip? <br /> <br /> The door of the driver's side opened and Mitchel got out. <br /> <br /> Raegan started walking toward him with her heart brimming with joy. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, she stopped dead in her tracks. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had just walked over to the other side and carried a woman out of the car. <br /> <br /> Worry and compassion were written all over his handsome face. <br /> <br /> This wiped the smile on Raegan's face. Her heart sank. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 3 Let's Divorce<br /> <br /> Mitchel's tall and straight figure got closer and closer to Raegan. And then, without saying a word, he strode past Raegan. <br /> <br /> It was hard to tell if Mitchel saw Raegan or just ignored her. <br /> <br /> Regardless, Raegan noticed that the woman in his arms was the same one who had been photographed with him yesterday. <br /> <br /> She was Lauren. <br /> <br /> Raegan's shoes felt like they were made of lead as she walked away. <br /> <br /> She lost all awareness of her surroundings. She got into a taxi absentmindedly. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, the driver uttered, "Ma'am, where to?"<br /> <br /> Raegan was stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> She didn't want to go back to Serenity Villas. It was only a matter of time before that place stopped being her home. <br /> <br /> After a while, she replied, "Please take me to Crystal Bay."<br /> <br /> She had purchased an apartment at Crystal Bay after getting married to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> At the time, she had hopes of bringing her grandmother to the city, so she bought the apartment on mortgage. It wasn't that big, but it had more than enough space for two people. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't understand why she wanted to buy an apartment. He offered to give her a bigger one, but she declined. <br /> <br /> Looking back now, she realized that buying that apartment was the only wise decision she had ever made in the last two years. <br /> <br /> When she arrived at the apartment complex, Raegan sat in the park alone, trying to cool herself down. <br /> <br /> The memories of the past two years were bittersweet. <br /> <br /> Two years had passed in the blink of an eye even though it was more than seven hundred days and nights. <br /> <br /> Love could move mountains, they said. <br /> <br /> Yet, her love didn't move that stone of a man. She finally realized what a fool she had been. She had been making herself a laughingstock in front of everyone. <br /> <br /> It was already late in the night before Raegan finally decided to go into her apartment. <br /> <br /> As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Mitchel standing in front of the door. <br /> <br /> His sleeves were rolled up casually, and the top buttons of his shirt were undone, which revealed his long neck and part of his collarbone. He was leaning on the wall by the door, his handsome face straight. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a moment. <br /> <br /> Why was he here? Didn't she see him at the hospital with Lauren? What brought him here? <br /> <br /> Their eyes met. With his coat draped over his arm and one of his hands in his pocket, Mitchel squinted at her. <br /> <br /> "Why didn't you answer the phone?" he asked, sounding a little grumpy like someone who hadn't slept in a long time. <br /> <br /> Raegan took out her phone and saw she had accidentally put it on DND. <br /> <br /> There were five missed calls from Mitchel. <br /> <br /> This marked the first time in their two-year marriage. <br /> <br /> Mitchel blew up her phone because he couldn't find her? Surprising! <br /> <br /> Before today, she would have been overjoyed by this. People would've thought she won the lottery. <br /> <br /> But now, she just threw her phone back into her bag, folded her arms, and said in a hoarse voice, "I didn't hear it ring."<br /> <br /> Mitchel raised his hand to check the time on the watch, and said impatiently, "I've been looking for you for two hours."<br /> <br /> After arranging everything for Lauren, he returned home to find an empty house. He looked for Raegan everywhere. When he couldn't find her, he asked Matteo to check the surveillance footage of all the roads that led away from the company. <br /> <br /> He later found out that Raegan went to Crystal Bay without telling him. <br /> <br /> "Next time, tell me when you are coming here, okay? Let's go home now." After that, Mitchel walked toward the elevator without sparing her another glance. <br /> <br /> He meant to go back to Serenity Villas. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn't move an inch. She just stared at his broad back and pondered reluctantly. <br /> <br /> Would they have a future? <br /> <br /> Mitchell turned around, only to see that Raegan hadn't taken a single step. He frowned and asked, "Can't you walk? Do you want me to carry you instead?"<br /> <br /> The light in the corridor illuminated his face, making his side profile almost impeccable. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and said, "Let's divorce."<br /> <br /> "What do you mean?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel's voice was cold, and his handsome face changed immediately. <br /> <br /> "I want to move into my own place. After all, we will be strangers soon."<br /> <br /> Raegan forced a smile, but her heart was aching as if someone was tearing it apart bit by bit. <br /> <br /> "We will be strangers?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel smiled coldly. "Raegan, what do you think our relationship is now?"<br /> <br /> His questioning left Raegan stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had made it very clear to her from the very beginning. This facade of their marriage had happened by mutual agreement. There was no love. In the eyes of others, they were nothing more than just a superior and a subordinate. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was quite the catch in Ardlens. Many young ladies longed for his love and were even willing to throw themselves at him. <br /> <br /> His question just now reminded her of that fact. Was he afraid that she wouldn't let him go that easily? If that was the case, he couldn't be more wrong... <br /> <br /> After biting her lower lip to conceal her bitterness, Raegan said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Dixon. I was giving it too much thought. Anyway, please leave me alone from now on. You don't have to come here again."<br /> <br /> After saying that, Raegan couldn't help but burst into tears. <br /> <br /> How could she not be sad when she was cutting ties with the man she had loved for a decade? It was such a long time. <br /> <br /> Regardless of how difficult it was, she knew it was time to let go. <br /> <br /> It was high time she stopped being a fool. <br /> <br /> Strangely, the light in the corridor began flickering. <br /> <br /> The deathly stare Mitchel was giving Raegan right now made the atmosphere seem like the moment before an attack in a horror movie. <br /> <br /> Although he understood that Raegan sometimes could throw a tantrum, he felt that she had just crossed the line now. <br /> <br /> His eyes shone like blazing torches at this moment. But when he saw the tears in her eyes, the rage inside him extinguished in an instant. He said in a low voice, "If this is about what happened between you and Tessa, I..."<br /> <br /> "No, this isn't about her. Mr. Dixon, please leave now."<br /> <br /> A lot of things happened between them. And the incident with Tessa didn't come close to any. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt exhausted. She passed by Mitchel and was about to open the door. <br /> <br /> Yet, Mitchel was displeased with her stubbornness. <br /> <br /> He loosened his tie irritably. He then took a step forward and grabbed her wrist. <br /> <br /> "Stop this, will you?"<br /> <br /> A second later, he put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his arms. <br /> <br /> He instantly realized that she was burning up like someone who had been set on fire. <br /> <br /> "You have a fever?"<br /> <br /> Raegan felt dizzy. She rested her head on his chest weakly. <br /> <br /> This made the whole situation complicated. <br /> <br /> Reagan was slow to catch that. When she finally realized that her body was too close to his, she put her hands against his chest and tried to pull back. <br /> <br /> Before she could escape, Mitchel pulled her back and held her by the waist. With a cold face, he said in a low voice, "Where do you think you are going?"<br /> <br /> The light flickered again. Out of the blue, Mitchel lifted her up. <br /> <br /> He then headed for the elevator. <br /> <br /> In a daze, Raegan asked softly, "What are you doing?"<br /> <br /> "What does it look like I am doing?" Mitchel remarked. "Taking you to the hospital, of course."<br /> <br /> "No way!" Raegan cried out in surprise and seemed to regain more strength. <br /> <br /> Mitchel might find out about her condition if they went to the hospital.<br /> <br /> Raegan struggled to get out of Mitchel's arms. However, his tight grip made her efforts fruitless. <br /> <br /> "Don't be so stubborn. You are sick, so you must see the doctor," Mitchel said firmly. <br /> <br /> He walked to the elevator with her in his arms. At this moment, Raegan's heart was thumping so hard that it could jump out of her chest. She flailed in protest. <br /> <br /> "Put me down! I don't want to go to the hospital!"<br /> &5& | Romantic Novel Town | 11926 | https://facebook.com/100083419995460 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714719600 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

"Congratulations! You are going to be a mom."<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Mitchel Dixon pinched her arm. His low voice came the next second. "Come back to earth. What are you thinking about?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel was her husband. They had been married secretly for two years. He was her superior at work, the president of the Dixon Group. <br /> <br /> Everything had happened so fast. She was newly employed in the company when they unexpectedly got married. <br /> <br /> At that time, Mitchel's grandfather fell seriously ill. It was then he proposed a fake marriage just to fulfill his grandfather's dying wish. <br /> <br /> They signed a prenup, agreeing to hide their marriage from the public. Their union could be terminated at any time. <br /> <br /> It was an unconventional thing to do. However, Raegan only considered herself lucky at that time. <br /> <br /> Never in a million years did she think she would ever get married to the man she had a crush on for eight years. She delightfully agreed. <br /> <br /> After their marriage, Mitchel was very busy. He spent most of his time working. <br /> <br /> Raegan wished she could spend more time with him at home. However, she was rest assured because there hadn't been any rumors or scandals about him with women in the past two years. <br /> <br /> Except for his mild indifference, Mitchel was a perfect husband. <br /> <br /> Raegan had mixed feelings as she stared at the medical report. <br /> <br /> In the end, she decided to tell Mitchel this news. <br /> <br /> She also wanted to tell him that she hadn't learned about him for the first time two years ago and that she had been crushing on him for many years before then. <br /> <br /> Just then, Mitchelโs phone rang. He went to the balcony and answered the phone. <br /> <br /> Raegan checked the time and found that it was already midnight. <br /> <br /> She felt a little uneasy. Who would call Mitchel at this hour? <br /> <br /> Mitchel spent a few minutes on the balcony. Thereafter, he returned and changed into formal attire. His handsome face which had a clear outline made him look dignified. <br /> <br /> He was something to see now. <br /> <br /> "Don't wait up for me. Good night," he said finally. <br /> <br /> What? He was on his way out? At this hour? <br /> <br /> Raegan's grip on the report tightened as she stared at him in disappointment. Unconsciously, she withdrew slightly. After thinking for a while, she blurted out, "It's already so late."<br /> <br /> Mitchel's fingers froze on his tie. With a faint smile, he pinched her earlobe and said, "Be good, okay? There's something I have to do. Don't wait up."<br /> <br /> With that, he headed for the door. <br /> <br /> "Mitchel."<br /> <br /> Raegan quickly ran and caught up with him. <br /> <br /> Mitchel turned around and looked at her seriously. <br /> <br /> "What's the matter?"<br /> <br /> There was a tinge of coldness to his voice. An icy cloud hung over them as they stared at each other. <br /> <br /> A little distressed, Raegan asked in a low voice, "I would like to visit my grandma tomorrow. Can you accompany me there?"<br /> <br /> Her grandmother always wanted to see her. As a result, Raegan wanted to take Mitchel there to assure her grandma they were happy. <br /> <br /> "Let's talk about it tomorrow, okay?" Without agreeing or declining, Mitchel left in a hurry. <br /> <br /> Several thoughts were threading Raegan's mind. She couldn't sleep a wink. <br /> <br /> After tossing and turning for a long time, she went to the kitchen and made herself a warm glass of milk. <br /> <br /> A few notifications from some online blogs came into her phone. <br /> <br /> However, she wasn't interested in them. She was about to swipe them away when one of them caught her attention. The familiar name made her click on it. <br /> <br /> The news read, "Famous designer, Lauren Murray was spotted at the airport with her mysterious boyfriend earlier today."<br /> <br /> Lauren was wearing a bucket hat. The man's figure was vague, but the outline of his body was enough to show that he was dashing. <br /> <br /> Raegan zoomed in on the picture. The next second, her heart dropped. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was the man in the picture! <br /> <br /> So, he canceled the afternoon meeting just to go pick up his ex-girlfriend from the airport? <br /> <br /> This realization settled like a boulder in Raegan's gut, rendering her flustered. <br /> <br /> Her hands trembled. Subconsciously, she dialed Mitchel's number. <br /> <br /> The dial tone brought her back to her senses. Just as she was about to hang up, the line connected, and a voice came from the other end. <br /> <br /> "Hello!"<br /> <br /> It was a particularly gentle woman's voice. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a second and then threw the phone away. <br /> <br /> She suddenly felt sick in her stomach. Covering her mouth, she ran into the bathroom and threw up in the toilet bowl. <br /> <br /> The next morning, Raegan went to work on time. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had tried to get her to stop working after they got married. Stubbornly, she insisted on making her own money. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't kick against her decision, but he asked her to work as his assistant, helping him with the daily chores. <br /> <br /> The head assistant, Matteo Jenkins was left to take care of the major affairs Mitchel had. <br /> <br /> Matteo was the only Dixon Group employee who knew about their marriage. <br /> <br /> Since inception, only male assistants were hired for the president's office. Reagan was the first and only female. Her employment broke the protocol. As a result, other workers couldn't help but wonder if she was involved with Mitchel. <br /> <br /> It took a while before they realized that Mitchel never gave Raegan special treatment. Strangely, this made them despise her even more. <br /> <br /> After all, no one would last long in anything while taking advantage of their looks.<br /> <br /> At this time, one of Raegan's colleagues handed her a document and ordered her to take it to Mitchel's office. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't return home last night. Raegan was so worried that she didn't sleep at all. <br /> <br /> All she kept thinking about was the woman who answered his phone when she called. What was her relationship with Mitchel?<br /> <br /> Raegan already knew the answer to that, but she was still in denial. <br /> <br /> It was difficult for her to come to terms with that fact. <br /> <br /> Raegan tried to remain calm now. She reasoned that no matter what happened, she deserved a result that would be rewarding for all the years she spent loving Mitchel. This couldn't be all for nothing, right? <br /> <br /> She pressed the elevator button calmly and went up to the president's office. Before she walked out of the elevator, she smoothed her hair to make sure she looked good. <br /> <br /> She had arrived at the office, only to see that the door was ajar. A man's voice came. She halted instantly. <br /> <br /> "Come on, man! Do you have any feelings for Raegan or not?"<br /> <br /> The voice belonged to Luis Stevens, a childhood friend of Mitchel's. <br /> <br /> "What do you mean exactly?" Mitchel asked in a cold voice. <br /> <br /> "You know exactly what I mean!" Luis clicked his tongue impatiently and added, "I think Raegan is a good girl. Isn't she your type?"<br /> <br /> "Do you want me to hand her over to you?" Mitchel asked carelessly. <br /> <br /> "You know what, forget it!"<br /> <br /> The scornful laughter of Luis sounded particularly harsh in Raegan's ears. <br /> <br /> They were talking about her as if she were an object. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and tightened her grip on the document. <br /> <br /> Soon, Luis's voice was heard again. <br /> <br /> "By the way, I saw the gossip news about Lauren's mysterious boyfriend this morning. That was you, right?"<br /> <br /> "Yes."<br /> <br /> "Well, well, well! That woman still has you wrapped around her little finger. You always want to please her."<br /> <br /> Luis sighed and continued to tease Mitchel. "As the old saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Tell me, did you two..."<br /> <br /> Their conversation was like a thunder exploding over Raegan's head. <br /> <br /> Her face turned pale and her body was as cold as ice. <br /> <br /> The woman was indeed Lauren! <br /> <br /> Absence made the heart grow fonder! <br /> <br /> Every word drove a knife into her heart. <br /> <br /> Several whispering voices filled her head at this time. She suddenly felt light-headed. Her vision became blurry. <br /> <br /> She held the wall and took a step backward. Suddenly, the door was opened from inside. <br /> <br /> "Raegan?"<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 2 One-sided Love<br /> <br /> Luis was the one who opened the door. It appeared he was on his way out. <br /> <br /> Raegan balled her hands, turned to him, and nodded. "Hey, Mr. Stevens!"<br /> <br /> Without waiting for him to respond to her greeting, she walked past him and entered the office with the document. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was seated behind a large luxurious desk. In an expensive suit and matching tie, he looked particularly handsome. <br /> <br /> Raegan noticed it wasn't the same suit he had on when he left home last night. How did he get changed? <br /> <br /> With her eyes lowered, she swallowed that question and said instead, "Mr. Dixon, this is from the Marketing Department. Please sign it."<br /> <br /> Mitchel was expressionless as he signed the document at a glance. <br /> <br /> Raegan walked out the door as soon as he handed the document back to her. Luis was still standing at the threshold. <br /> <br /> It wasn't until she went out of sight that Luis turned to Mitchel and said in a hushed tone, "Do you think she heard us?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel's appealing eyes were expressionless at the moment. Obviously, he wasn't paying attention to what Luis was saying. <br /> <br /> To Mitchel, Raegan had always been docile and never felt jealous of anyone. <br /> <br /> Her strict obedience was all Mitchel demanded from her in exchange for treating her well. <br /> <br /> In the elevator. <br /> <br /> Raegan held her breath just to hold back her tears. Unfortunately, it didn't work. <br /> <br /> She had thought two years would be enough for Mitchel to realize how much she loved him and reciprocate her love. <br /> <br /> Now, it turned out that was just a pipe dream. <br /> <br /> She realized she would always play second fiddle to Lauren, Mitchel's true love. <br /> <br /> Reagan wiped her tears when the elevator halted. Save for her pale face, she looked normal when the doors opened. <br /> <br /> She dragged herself to the break room, intending to make herself a cup of tea. <br /> <br /> Several employees were chatting inside. <br /> <br /> "Guys, have you heard? Lauren Murray is back."<br /> <br /> "And who is that?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, my! You don't know her? Lauren is the heiress of the Murray Group as well as a world-class designer. Most importantly, she's the only girlfriend Mr. Dixon has ever shown off in public. She's his first love!"<br /> <br /> "Why is her return such a big deal? Isn't it rumored that there is something between Mr. Dixon and Raegan?"<br /> <br /> "Raegan? She's nothing to Mr. Dixon. Mr. Dixon never admitted that he was dating her. And that is no surprise to me. After all, look at her. She's not even that beautiful. Yet, she behaves as if she's already Mrs. Dixon. What a fool!"<br /> <br /> Standing at the door, Raegan smiled with self-mockery as she listened to them. It turned out everyone else saw the truth except her. <br /> <br /> The love was one-sided. <br /> <br /> "Ha-ha, have you finally woken up from your wild dream, Raegan?"<br /> <br /> A voice of mockery suddenly came from behind. Raegan turned around to see Tessa Lloyd, Mitchel's cousin, who had always despised her. <br /> <br /> Tessa must have also heard the employees gossiping. <br /> <br /> The last thing Raegan wanted to do now was argue with Tessa in the company. She turned to leave, but Tessa blocked her way. <br /> <br /> With a cup of coffee in her hand, Tessa uttered sarcastically, "Lauren is back now. Do you think Mitchel will still give you any attention?"<br /> <br /> Raegan said nothing to that. <br /> <br /> Seconds later, Tessa continued the ridicule. "Maybe itโs time for you to seek out another man, you pathetic fool."<br /> <br /> Raegan clenched her fists and said coldly, "Ms. Lloyd, if you are interested in that kind of thing, feel free to pursue it yourself."<br /> <br /> "You..."<br /> <br /> Raegan's retort made Tessa's face change. <br /> <br /> The next second, Tessa raised her hand and emptied the cup of coffee on Raegan. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn't think for a second that Tessa would do something so crazy. She held up her arms just to block the liquid from her face. In no time, the coffee drenched her clothes. <br /> <br /> Raegan frowned. "What did you do that for? Are you out of your mind?"<br /> <br /> It was lunch break and many employees were free to watch the drama. Tessa was even more complacent when she saw growing onlookers. <br /> <br /> She put on a mean-girl look as she said, "What makes you so smug every day, huh? Do you seriously think that others don't know you are just an orphan? The nerve of..."<br /> <br /> Tessa was silenced by Raeganโs shove. <br /> <br /> Her jaw dropped to the floor. She had never expected that Raegan, who was so quiet and timid, would shove her. <br /> <br /> Tessa stuttered, "You... You pushed me? How dare you!"<br /> <br /> Raegan eyed her and replied, "Yes, I did! It seems you need to be taught simple politeness."<br /> <br /> Indeed, she lost her parents when she was a child. But that didn't mean she would allow someone to walk over her for it. <br /> <br /> Wrinkles appeared on Tessa's face as she frowned in anger. As Mitchel's cousin, she was used to being fawned over and respected. This was the first time she had been treated like this. <br /> <br /> Tessa charged at Raegan like a raging bull, poised to retaliate. <br /> <br /> This time, Raegan was fully prepared for what was coming. She grabbed Tessa's wrist so that the latter couldn't move another inch. <br /> <br /> Tessa was shorter than Raegan. As a result, she struggled like an octopus that had one of its tentacles stuck in a fishing trap. <br /> <br /> Tessa cursed angrily, "How dare you put your hands on me? Who do you think you are?"<br /> <br /> These harsh words attracted more people to the break room. <br /> <br /> "That's enough!"<br /> <br /> Out of the blue, a baritone came from behind. Mitchel had left his office and ran into this hullabaloo. <br /> <br /> The entire room fell silent. <br /> <br /> "Mitchel?" Tessa's blood ran cold at the sight of Mitchel. She had always been scared of him. Her mother also warned her against provoking him. <br /> <br /> But when she remembered that Raegan humiliated her, she put on a pitiful expression and sobbed. "Mitchel, she bullied me."<br /> <br /> The sunlight from outside fell on Mitchel's handsome face. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt so grieved all of a sudden, and lowered her head to look at her clothes which were soaked with coffee. <br /> <br /> Their gaze met in the air. With a deep frown, Mitchel looked at Raegan and said, "Raegan, have you forgotten the rules of the company?"<br /> <br /> His ruthlessness made Raegan's breathing cease. She couldn't believe her ears. <br /> <br /> No one dared to make a sound at this moment. <br /> <br /> Raegan just stood straight there with her slender figure. <br /> <br /> When she got employed here, Mitchel had told her that the Dixon Group wasn't a place for her to mess around and that he would not tolerate her making any mistakes. <br /> <br /> Raegan could understand why he took this stand. <br /> <br /> However, at this moment, she was desperate to know whether Mitchel had heard those hard words Tessa scolded her or he was just pretending not to have heard because he agreed to those words. <br /> <br /> Was she truly insignificant to him?<br /> <br /> Scared to death by Mitchel's rage, the crowd soon dispersed. A few employees were bold enough to peep from a distance, unwilling to miss the good show. <br /> <br /> Mitchel's cold eyes made Raegan shiver from head to toe. <br /> <br /> Raegan pinched her palm to suppress her emotions as she looked at Tessa. <br /> <br /> "I'm sorry, Ms. Lloyd. As an employee of the Dixon Group, it was wrong of me to have offended you."<br /> <br /> Eyeing Raegan, Tessa raised her chin complacently. "Humph! Don't think you'll be let off the hook just by making a simple apology. I don't buy..."<br /> <br /> "The offence has nothing to do with the company. Personally, I refuse to apologize to you. Now, if you'd excuse me," Raegan chimed in. <br /> <br /> She then walked past Mitchel without sparing him another look. <br /> <br /> "You..."<br /> <br /> Tessa's face turned blue after hearing what Raegan said. <br /> <br /> Never in her years of being alive had she been so humiliated. She was always the bully, not the victim! <br /> <br /> The humiliation was so much that scolding Raegan wouldn't appease her anger. <br /> <br /> Pointing in Raegan's direction, Tessa shouted, "Mitchel, did you hear what that woman just said? She humiliated me, yet she's still so arrogant. Call her back. I have to teach her some manners!"<br /> <br /> Mitchel, staring at Raegan's thin back, had an ambiguous expression at this moment. <br /> <br /> "Enough!" he said coldly, raising his hand. <br /> <br /> As someone who lived and breathed drama and cruelty, Tessa didn't think Mitchel was partial to Raegan just now. She assumed that Mitchel didn't care about Raegan at all. <br /> <br /> Tessa gritted her teeth and said viciously, "Next time, I'll get someone to teach her a lesson."<br /> <br /> "Tessa!" Mitchel's tone and squint made it a reproof. <br /> <br /> Tessa trembled at once. <br /> <br /> With a somber face, Mitchel said, "I'll only say it once. Forget about what happened here today. Leave Raegan alone."<br /> <br /> The aura he exuded made her tongue go dry. All the vicious ideas she had in store against Raegan disappeared in an instant. <br /> <br /> She stammered, "Ok... Okay, got it..."<br /> <br /> Mitchel cast a cold glance at her and spoke to Matteo. "Irrelevant people wouldn't be allowed in here from today onwards."<br /> <br /> Without catching the drift, Tessa flattered Mitchel. "Nice call. This is a top company. Not everyone gains access in here."<br /> <br /> Matteo nodded to Mitchel and then walked over to Tessa. He gestured to the exit. "Ms. Lloyd, this way, please."<br /> <br /> It wasn't until this moment that Tessa realized that she was the irrelevant person Mitchel just mentioned. She tried to speak to him, but Matteo blocked her way. The security guards then escorted her out. <br /> <br /> They showed her no mercy. Her struggle was useless. <br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Raegan got changed when she returned to her office. <br /> <br /> Her heart was filled with sadness as she thought of how Mitchel looked at her minutes ago. <br /> <br /> Closing hour soon rolled by. <br /> <br /> Raegan took her bag and headed for the exit. However, Matteo stopped her. <br /> <br /> He said, "Mr. Dixon has something urgent to deal with, so he asked me to drive you home."<br /> <br /> Raegan declined the ride without thinking twice. <br /> <br /> She was blind before, but now she could see through the situation. <br /> <br /> In Mitchel's eyes, she was just a nobody. <br /> <br /> How could Mitchel agree to accompany her to visit her grandmother when he didn't even care about her? <br /> <br /> Upon arriving at the hospital, Raegan saw that the nurse was about to feed her grandmother dinner. Raegan took the job over and did it by herself. <br /> <br /> All her life, her grandmother had been living in the countryside, enjoying a quiet life. Everything changed last month when her routine medical checkup showed that she was in need of medical care. Raegan insisted on bringing her to the city for better treatment. <br /> <br /> Her grandmother wasn't aware of her marriage to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> Raegan had planned to surprise her today. But as it turned out, that was no longer necessary. <br /> <br /> Raegan waited for her grandmother to fall asleep before she left. She walked out of the hospital and waited for a taxi. <br /> <br /> In the distance, a black luxury car pulled into the entrance of the hospital. <br /> <br /> Raegan's eyes lit up when she saw it. She recognized that car as Mitchel's. <br /> <br /> Did he come to pick her up? <br /> <br /> At this moment, she forgot all the pain she had been feeling. <br /> <br /> Were her thoughts about him all wrong? Did he care for her, contrary to the gossip? <br /> <br /> The door of the driver's side opened and Mitchel got out. <br /> <br /> Raegan started walking toward him with her heart brimming with joy. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, she stopped dead in her tracks. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had just walked over to the other side and carried a woman out of the car. <br /> <br /> Worry and compassion were written all over his handsome face. <br /> <br /> This wiped the smile on Raegan's face. Her heart sank. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 3 Let's Divorce<br /> <br /> Mitchel's tall and straight figure got closer and closer to Raegan. And then, without saying a word, he strode past Raegan. <br /> <br /> It was hard to tell if Mitchel saw Raegan or just ignored her. <br /> <br /> Regardless, Raegan noticed that the woman in his arms was the same one who had been photographed with him yesterday. <br /> <br /> She was Lauren. <br /> <br /> Raegan's shoes felt like they were made of lead as she walked away. <br /> <br /> She lost all awareness of her surroundings. She got into a taxi absentmindedly. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, the driver uttered, "Ma'am, where to?"<br /> <br /> Raegan was stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> She didn't want to go back to Serenity Villas. It was only a matter of time before that place stopped being her home. <br /> <br /> After a while, she replied, "Please take me to Crystal Bay."<br /> <br /> She had purchased an apartment at Crystal Bay after getting married to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> At the time, she had hopes of bringing her grandmother to the city, so she bought the apartment on mortgage. It wasn't that big, but it had more than enough space for two people. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't understand why she wanted to buy an apartment. He offered to give her a bigger one, but she declined. <br /> <br /> Looking back now, she realized that buying that apartment was the only wise decision she had ever made in the last two years. <br /> <br /> When she arrived at the apartment complex, Raegan sat in the park alone, trying to cool herself down. <br /> <br /> The memories of the past two years were bittersweet. <br /> <br /> Two years had passed in the blink of an eye even though it was more than seven hundred days and nights. <br /> <br /> Love could move mountains, they said. <br /> <br /> Yet, her love didn't move that stone of a man. She finally realized what a fool she had been. She had been making herself a laughingstock in front of everyone. <br /> <br /> It was already late in the night before Raegan finally decided to go into her apartment. <br /> <br /> As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Mitchel standing in front of the door. <br /> <br /> His sleeves were rolled up casually, and the top buttons of his shirt were undone, which revealed his long neck and part of his collarbone. He was leaning on the wall by the door, his handsome face straight. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a moment. <br /> <br /> Why was he here? Didn't she see him at the hospital with Lauren? What brought him here? <br /> <br /> Their eyes met. With his coat draped over his arm and one of his hands in his pocket, Mitchel squinted at her. <br /> <br /> "Why didn't you answer the phone?" he asked, sounding a little grumpy like someone who hadn't slept in a long time. <br /> <br /> Raegan took out her phone and saw she had accidentally put it on DND. <br /> <br /> There were five missed calls from Mitchel. <br /> <br /> This marked the first time in their two-year marriage. <br /> <br /> Mitchel blew up her phone because he couldn't find her? Surprising! <br /> <br /> Before today, she would have been overjoyed by this. People would've thought she won the lottery. <br /> <br /> But now, she just threw her phone back into her bag, folded her arms, and said in a hoarse voice, "I didn't hear it ring."<br /> <br /> Mitchel raised his hand to check the time on the watch, and said impatiently, "I've been looking for you for two hours."<br /> <br /> After arranging everything for Lauren, he returned home to find an empty house. He looked for Raegan everywhere. When he couldn't find her, he asked Matteo to check the surveillance footage of all the roads that led away from the company. <br /> <br /> He later found out that Raegan went to Crystal Bay without telling him. <br /> <br /> "Next time, tell me when you are coming here, okay? Let's go home now." After that, Mitchel walked toward the elevator without sparing her another glance. <br /> <br /> He meant to go back to Serenity Villas. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn't move an inch. She just stared at his broad back and pondered reluctantly. <br /> <br /> Would they have a future? <br /> <br /> Mitchell turned around, only to see that Raegan hadn't taken a single step. He frowned and asked, "Can't you walk? Do you want me to carry you instead?"<br /> <br /> The light in the corridor illuminated his face, making his side profile almost impeccable. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and said, "Let's divorce."<br /> <br /> "What do you mean?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel's voice was cold, and his handsome face changed immediately. <br /> <br /> "I want to move into my own place. After all, we will be strangers soon."<br /> <br /> Raegan forced a smile, but her heart was aching as if someone was tearing it apart bit by bit. <br /> <br /> "We will be strangers?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel smiled coldly. "Raegan, what do you think our relationship is now?"<br /> <br /> His questioning left Raegan stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had made it very clear to her from the very beginning. This facade of their marriage had happened by mutual agreement. There was no love. In the eyes of others, they were nothing more than just a superior and a subordinate. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was quite the catch in Ardlens. Many young ladies longed for his love and were even willing to throw themselves at him. <br /> <br /> His question just now reminded her of that fact. Was he afraid that she wouldn't let him go that easily? If that was the case, he couldn't be more wrong... <br /> <br /> After biting her lower lip to conceal her bitterness, Raegan said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Dixon. I was giving it too much thought. Anyway, please leave me alone from now on. You don't have to come here again."<br /> <br /> After saying that, Raegan couldn't help but burst into tears. <br /> <br /> How could she not be sad when she was cutting ties with the man she had loved for a decade? It was such a long time. <br /> <br /> Regardless of how difficult it was, she knew it was time to let go. <br /> <br /> It was high time she stopped being a fool. <br /> <br /> Strangely, the light in the corridor began flickering. <br /> <br /> The deathly stare Mitchel was giving Raegan right now made the atmosphere seem like the moment before an attack in a horror movie. <br /> <br /> Although he understood that Raegan sometimes could throw a tantrum, he felt that she had just crossed the line now. <br /> <br /> His eyes shone like blazing torches at this moment. But when he saw the tears in her eyes, the rage inside him extinguished in an instant. He said in a low voice, "If this is about what happened between you and Tessa, I..."<br /> <br /> "No, this isn't about her. Mr. Dixon, please leave now."<br /> <br /> A lot of things happened between them. And the incident with Tessa didn't come close to any. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt exhausted. She passed by Mitchel and was about to open the door. <br /> <br /> Yet, Mitchel was displeased with her stubbornness. <br /> <br /> He loosened his tie irritably. He then took a step forward and grabbed her wrist. <br /> <br /> "Stop this, will you?"<br /> <br /> A second later, he put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his arms. <br /> <br /> He instantly realized that she was burning up like someone who had been set on fire. <br /> <br /> "You have a fever?"<br /> <br /> Raegan felt dizzy. She rested her head on his chest weakly. <br /> <br /> This made the whole situation complicated. <br /> <br /> Reagan was slow to catch that. When she finally realized that her body was too close to his, she put her hands against his chest and tried to pull back. <br /> <br /> Before she could escape, Mitchel pulled her back and held her by the waist. With a cold face, he said in a low voice, "Where do you think you are going?"<br /> <br /> The light flickered again. Out of the blue, Mitchel lifted her up. <br /> <br /> He then headed for the elevator. <br /> <br /> In a daze, Raegan asked softly, "What are you doing?"<br /> <br /> "What does it look like I am doing?" Mitchel remarked. "Taking you to the hospital, of course."<br /> <br /> "No way!" Raegan cried out in surprise and seemed to regain more strength. <br /> <br /> Mitchel might find out about her condition if they went to the hospital.<br /> <br /> Raegan struggled to get out of Mitchel's arms. However, his tight grip made her efforts fruitless. <br /> <br /> "Don't be so stubborn. You are sick, so you must see the doctor," Mitchel said firmly. <br /> <br /> He walked to the elevator with her in his arms. At this moment, Raegan's heart was thumping so hard that it could jump out of her chest. She flailed in protest. <br /> <br /> "Put me down! I don't want to go to the hospital!"<br /> &5& | Romantic Novel Town | 11926 | https://facebook.com/100083419995460 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714719600 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

"Congratulations! You are going to be a mom."<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Mitchel Dixon pinched her arm. His low voice came the next second. "Come back to earth. What are you thinking about?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel was her husband. They had been married secretly for two years. He was her superior at work, the president of the Dixon Group. <br /> <br /> Everything had happened so fast. She was newly employed in the company when they unexpectedly got married. <br /> <br /> At that time, Mitchel's grandfather fell seriously ill. It was then he proposed a fake marriage just to fulfill his grandfather's dying wish. <br /> <br /> They signed a prenup, agreeing to hide their marriage from the public. Their union could be terminated at any time. <br /> <br /> It was an unconventional thing to do. However, Raegan only considered herself lucky at that time. <br /> <br /> Never in a million years did she think she would ever get married to the man she had a crush on for eight years. She delightfully agreed. <br /> <br /> After their marriage, Mitchel was very busy. He spent most of his time working. <br /> <br /> Raegan wished she could spend more time with him at home. However, she was rest assured because there hadn't been any rumors or scandals about him with women in the past two years. <br /> <br /> Except for his mild indifference, Mitchel was a perfect husband. <br /> <br /> Raegan had mixed feelings as she stared at the medical report. <br /> <br /> In the end, she decided to tell Mitchel this news. <br /> <br /> She also wanted to tell him that she hadn't learned about him for the first time two years ago and that she had been crushing on him for many years before then. <br /> <br /> Just then, Mitchelโs phone rang. He went to the balcony and answered the phone. <br /> <br /> Raegan checked the time and found that it was already midnight. <br /> <br /> She felt a little uneasy. Who would call Mitchel at this hour? <br /> <br /> Mitchel spent a few minutes on the balcony. Thereafter, he returned and changed into formal attire. His handsome face which had a clear outline made him look dignified. <br /> <br /> He was something to see now. <br /> <br /> "Don't wait up for me. Good night," he said finally. <br /> <br /> What? He was on his way out? At this hour? <br /> <br /> Raegan's grip on the report tightened as she stared at him in disappointment. Unconsciously, she withdrew slightly. After thinking for a while, she blurted out, "It's already so late."<br /> <br /> Mitchel's fingers froze on his tie. With a faint smile, he pinched her earlobe and said, "Be good, okay? There's something I have to do. Don't wait up."<br /> <br /> With that, he headed for the door. <br /> <br /> "Mitchel."<br /> <br /> Raegan quickly ran and caught up with him. <br /> <br /> Mitchel turned around and looked at her seriously. <br /> <br /> "What's the matter?"<br /> <br /> There was a tinge of coldness to his voice. An icy cloud hung over them as they stared at each other. <br /> <br /> A little distressed, Raegan asked in a low voice, "I would like to visit my grandma tomorrow. Can you accompany me there?"<br /> <br /> Her grandmother always wanted to see her. As a result, Raegan wanted to take Mitchel there to assure her grandma they were happy. <br /> <br /> "Let's talk about it tomorrow, okay?" Without agreeing or declining, Mitchel left in a hurry. <br /> <br /> Several thoughts were threading Raegan's mind. She couldn't sleep a wink. <br /> <br /> After tossing and turning for a long time, she went to the kitchen and made herself a warm glass of milk. <br /> <br /> A few notifications from some online blogs came into her phone. <br /> <br /> However, she wasn't interested in them. She was about to swipe them away when one of them caught her attention. The familiar name made her click on it. <br /> <br /> The news read, "Famous designer, Lauren Murray was spotted at the airport with her mysterious boyfriend earlier today."<br /> <br /> Lauren was wearing a bucket hat. The man's figure was vague, but the outline of his body was enough to show that he was dashing. <br /> <br /> Raegan zoomed in on the picture. The next second, her heart dropped. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was the man in the picture! <br /> <br /> So, he canceled the afternoon meeting just to go pick up his ex-girlfriend from the airport? <br /> <br /> This realization settled like a boulder in Raegan's gut, rendering her flustered. <br /> <br /> Her hands trembled. Subconsciously, she dialed Mitchel's number. <br /> <br /> The dial tone brought her back to her senses. Just as she was about to hang up, the line connected, and a voice came from the other end. <br /> <br /> "Hello!"<br /> <br /> It was a particularly gentle woman's voice. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a second and then threw the phone away. <br /> <br /> She suddenly felt sick in her stomach. Covering her mouth, she ran into the bathroom and threw up in the toilet bowl. <br /> <br /> The next morning, Raegan went to work on time. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had tried to get her to stop working after they got married. Stubbornly, she insisted on making her own money. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't kick against her decision, but he asked her to work as his assistant, helping him with the daily chores. <br /> <br /> The head assistant, Matteo Jenkins was left to take care of the major affairs Mitchel had. <br /> <br /> Matteo was the only Dixon Group employee who knew about their marriage. <br /> <br /> Since inception, only male assistants were hired for the president's office. Reagan was the first and only female. Her employment broke the protocol. As a result, other workers couldn't help but wonder if she was involved with Mitchel. <br /> <br /> It took a while before they realized that Mitchel never gave Raegan special treatment. Strangely, this made them despise her even more. <br /> <br /> After all, no one would last long in anything while taking advantage of their looks.<br /> <br /> At this time, one of Raegan's colleagues handed her a document and ordered her to take it to Mitchel's office. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't return home last night. Raegan was so worried that she didn't sleep at all. <br /> <br /> All she kept thinking about was the woman who answered his phone when she called. What was her relationship with Mitchel?<br /> <br /> Raegan already knew the answer to that, but she was still in denial. <br /> <br /> It was difficult for her to come to terms with that fact. <br /> <br /> Raegan tried to remain calm now. She reasoned that no matter what happened, she deserved a result that would be rewarding for all the years she spent loving Mitchel. This couldn't be all for nothing, right? <br /> <br /> She pressed the elevator button calmly and went up to the president's office. Before she walked out of the elevator, she smoothed her hair to make sure she looked good. <br /> <br /> She had arrived at the office, only to see that the door was ajar. A man's voice came. She halted instantly. <br /> <br /> "Come on, man! Do you have any feelings for Raegan or not?"<br /> <br /> The voice belonged to Luis Stevens, a childhood friend of Mitchel's. <br /> <br /> "What do you mean exactly?" Mitchel asked in a cold voice. <br /> <br /> "You know exactly what I mean!" Luis clicked his tongue impatiently and added, "I think Raegan is a good girl. Isn't she your type?"<br /> <br /> "Do you want me to hand her over to you?" Mitchel asked carelessly. <br /> <br /> "You know what, forget it!"<br /> <br /> The scornful laughter of Luis sounded particularly harsh in Raegan's ears. <br /> <br /> They were talking about her as if she were an object. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and tightened her grip on the document. <br /> <br /> Soon, Luis's voice was heard again. <br /> <br /> "By the way, I saw the gossip news about Lauren's mysterious boyfriend this morning. That was you, right?"<br /> <br /> "Yes."<br /> <br /> "Well, well, well! That woman still has you wrapped around her little finger. You always want to please her."<br /> <br /> Luis sighed and continued to tease Mitchel. "As the old saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Tell me, did you two..."<br /> <br /> Their conversation was like a thunder exploding over Raegan's head. <br /> <br /> Her face turned pale and her body was as cold as ice. <br /> <br /> The woman was indeed Lauren! <br /> <br /> Absence made the heart grow fonder! <br /> <br /> Every word drove a knife into her heart. <br /> <br /> Several whispering voices filled her head at this time. She suddenly felt light-headed. Her vision became blurry. <br /> <br /> She held the wall and took a step backward. Suddenly, the door was opened from inside. <br /> <br /> "Raegan?"<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 2 One-sided Love<br /> <br /> Luis was the one who opened the door. It appeared he was on his way out. <br /> <br /> Raegan balled her hands, turned to him, and nodded. "Hey, Mr. Stevens!"<br /> <br /> Without waiting for him to respond to her greeting, she walked past him and entered the office with the document. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was seated behind a large luxurious desk. In an expensive suit and matching tie, he looked particularly handsome. <br /> <br /> Raegan noticed it wasn't the same suit he had on when he left home last night. How did he get changed? <br /> <br /> With her eyes lowered, she swallowed that question and said instead, "Mr. Dixon, this is from the Marketing Department. Please sign it."<br /> <br /> Mitchel was expressionless as he signed the document at a glance. <br /> <br /> Raegan walked out the door as soon as he handed the document back to her. Luis was still standing at the threshold. <br /> <br /> It wasn't until she went out of sight that Luis turned to Mitchel and said in a hushed tone, "Do you think she heard us?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel's appealing eyes were expressionless at the moment. Obviously, he wasn't paying attention to what Luis was saying. <br /> <br /> To Mitchel, Raegan had always been docile and never felt jealous of anyone. <br /> <br /> Her strict obedience was all Mitchel demanded from her in exchange for treating her well. <br /> <br /> In the elevator. <br /> <br /> Raegan held her breath just to hold back her tears. Unfortunately, it didn't work. <br /> <br /> She had thought two years would be enough for Mitchel to realize how much she loved him and reciprocate her love. <br /> <br /> Now, it turned out that was just a pipe dream. <br /> <br /> She realized she would always play second fiddle to Lauren, Mitchel's true love. <br /> <br /> Reagan wiped her tears when the elevator halted. Save for her pale face, she looked normal when the doors opened. <br /> <br /> She dragged herself to the break room, intending to make herself a cup of tea. <br /> <br /> Several employees were chatting inside. <br /> <br /> "Guys, have you heard? Lauren Murray is back."<br /> <br /> "And who is that?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, my! You don't know her? Lauren is the heiress of the Murray Group as well as a world-class designer. Most importantly, she's the only girlfriend Mr. Dixon has ever shown off in public. She's his first love!"<br /> <br /> "Why is her return such a big deal? Isn't it rumored that there is something between Mr. Dixon and Raegan?"<br /> <br /> "Raegan? She's nothing to Mr. Dixon. Mr. Dixon never admitted that he was dating her. And that is no surprise to me. After all, look at her. She's not even that beautiful. Yet, she behaves as if she's already Mrs. Dixon. What a fool!"<br /> <br /> Standing at the door, Raegan smiled with self-mockery as she listened to them. It turned out everyone else saw the truth except her. <br /> <br /> The love was one-sided. <br /> <br /> "Ha-ha, have you finally woken up from your wild dream, Raegan?"<br /> <br /> A voice of mockery suddenly came from behind. Raegan turned around to see Tessa Lloyd, Mitchel's cousin, who had always despised her. <br /> <br /> Tessa must have also heard the employees gossiping. <br /> <br /> The last thing Raegan wanted to do now was argue with Tessa in the company. She turned to leave, but Tessa blocked her way. <br /> <br /> With a cup of coffee in her hand, Tessa uttered sarcastically, "Lauren is back now. Do you think Mitchel will still give you any attention?"<br /> <br /> Raegan said nothing to that. <br /> <br /> Seconds later, Tessa continued the ridicule. "Maybe itโs time for you to seek out another man, you pathetic fool."<br /> <br /> Raegan clenched her fists and said coldly, "Ms. Lloyd, if you are interested in that kind of thing, feel free to pursue it yourself."<br /> <br /> "You..."<br /> <br /> Raegan's retort made Tessa's face change. <br /> <br /> The next second, Tessa raised her hand and emptied the cup of coffee on Raegan. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn't think for a second that Tessa would do something so crazy. She held up her arms just to block the liquid from her face. In no time, the coffee drenched her clothes. <br /> <br /> Raegan frowned. "What did you do that for? Are you out of your mind?"<br /> <br /> It was lunch break and many employees were free to watch the drama. Tessa was even more complacent when she saw growing onlookers. <br /> <br /> She put on a mean-girl look as she said, "What makes you so smug every day, huh? Do you seriously think that others don't know you are just an orphan? The nerve of..."<br /> <br /> Tessa was silenced by Raeganโs shove. <br /> <br /> Her jaw dropped to the floor. She had never expected that Raegan, who was so quiet and timid, would shove her. <br /> <br /> Tessa stuttered, "You... You pushed me? How dare you!"<br /> <br /> Raegan eyed her and replied, "Yes, I did! It seems you need to be taught simple politeness."<br /> <br /> Indeed, she lost her parents when she was a child. But that didn't mean she would allow someone to walk over her for it. <br /> <br /> Wrinkles appeared on Tessa's face as she frowned in anger. As Mitchel's cousin, she was used to being fawned over and respected. This was the first time she had been treated like this. <br /> <br /> Tessa charged at Raegan like a raging bull, poised to retaliate. <br /> <br /> This time, Raegan was fully prepared for what was coming. She grabbed Tessa's wrist so that the latter couldn't move another inch. <br /> <br /> Tessa was shorter than Raegan. As a result, she struggled like an octopus that had one of its tentacles stuck in a fishing trap. <br /> <br /> Tessa cursed angrily, "How dare you put your hands on me? Who do you think you are?"<br /> <br /> These harsh words attracted more people to the break room. <br /> <br /> "That's enough!"<br /> <br /> Out of the blue, a baritone came from behind. Mitchel had left his office and ran into this hullabaloo. <br /> <br /> The entire room fell silent. <br /> <br /> "Mitchel?" Tessa's blood ran cold at the sight of Mitchel. She had always been scared of him. Her mother also warned her against provoking him. <br /> <br /> But when she remembered that Raegan humiliated her, she put on a pitiful expression and sobbed. "Mitchel, she bullied me."<br /> <br /> The sunlight from outside fell on Mitchel's handsome face. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt so grieved all of a sudden, and lowered her head to look at her clothes which were soaked with coffee. <br /> <br /> Their gaze met in the air. With a deep frown, Mitchel looked at Raegan and said, "Raegan, have you forgotten the rules of the company?"<br /> <br /> His ruthlessness made Raegan's breathing cease. She couldn't believe her ears. <br /> <br /> No one dared to make a sound at this moment. <br /> <br /> Raegan just stood straight there with her slender figure. <br /> <br /> When she got employed here, Mitchel had told her that the Dixon Group wasn't a place for her to mess around and that he would not tolerate her making any mistakes. <br /> <br /> Raegan could understand why he took this stand. <br /> <br /> However, at this moment, she was desperate to know whether Mitchel had heard those hard words Tessa scolded her or he was just pretending not to have heard because he agreed to those words. <br /> <br /> Was she truly insignificant to him?<br /> <br /> Scared to death by Mitchel's rage, the crowd soon dispersed. A few employees were bold enough to peep from a distance, unwilling to miss the good show. <br /> <br /> Mitchel's cold eyes made Raegan shiver from head to toe. <br /> <br /> Raegan pinched her palm to suppress her emotions as she looked at Tessa. <br /> <br /> "I'm sorry, Ms. Lloyd. As an employee of the Dixon Group, it was wrong of me to have offended you."<br /> <br /> Eyeing Raegan, Tessa raised her chin complacently. "Humph! Don't think you'll be let off the hook just by making a simple apology. I don't buy..."<br /> <br /> "The offence has nothing to do with the company. Personally, I refuse to apologize to you. Now, if you'd excuse me," Raegan chimed in. <br /> <br /> She then walked past Mitchel without sparing him another look. <br /> <br /> "You..."<br /> <br /> Tessa's face turned blue after hearing what Raegan said. <br /> <br /> Never in her years of being alive had she been so humiliated. She was always the bully, not the victim! <br /> <br /> The humiliation was so much that scolding Raegan wouldn't appease her anger. <br /> <br /> Pointing in Raegan's direction, Tessa shouted, "Mitchel, did you hear what that woman just said? She humiliated me, yet she's still so arrogant. Call her back. I have to teach her some manners!"<br /> <br /> Mitchel, staring at Raegan's thin back, had an ambiguous expression at this moment. <br /> <br /> "Enough!" he said coldly, raising his hand. <br /> <br /> As someone who lived and breathed drama and cruelty, Tessa didn't think Mitchel was partial to Raegan just now. She assumed that Mitchel didn't care about Raegan at all. <br /> <br /> Tessa gritted her teeth and said viciously, "Next time, I'll get someone to teach her a lesson."<br /> <br /> "Tessa!" Mitchel's tone and squint made it a reproof. <br /> <br /> Tessa trembled at once. <br /> <br /> With a somber face, Mitchel said, "I'll only say it once. Forget about what happened here today. Leave Raegan alone."<br /> <br /> The aura he exuded made her tongue go dry. All the vicious ideas she had in store against Raegan disappeared in an instant. <br /> <br /> She stammered, "Ok... Okay, got it..."<br /> <br /> Mitchel cast a cold glance at her and spoke to Matteo. "Irrelevant people wouldn't be allowed in here from today onwards."<br /> <br /> Without catching the drift, Tessa flattered Mitchel. "Nice call. This is a top company. Not everyone gains access in here."<br /> <br /> Matteo nodded to Mitchel and then walked over to Tessa. He gestured to the exit. "Ms. Lloyd, this way, please."<br /> <br /> It wasn't until this moment that Tessa realized that she was the irrelevant person Mitchel just mentioned. She tried to speak to him, but Matteo blocked her way. The security guards then escorted her out. <br /> <br /> They showed her no mercy. Her struggle was useless. <br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Raegan got changed when she returned to her office. <br /> <br /> Her heart was filled with sadness as she thought of how Mitchel looked at her minutes ago. <br /> <br /> Closing hour soon rolled by. <br /> <br /> Raegan took her bag and headed for the exit. However, Matteo stopped her. <br /> <br /> He said, "Mr. Dixon has something urgent to deal with, so he asked me to drive you home."<br /> <br /> Raegan declined the ride without thinking twice. <br /> <br /> She was blind before, but now she could see through the situation. <br /> <br /> In Mitchel's eyes, she was just a nobody. <br /> <br /> How could Mitchel agree to accompany her to visit her grandmother when he didn't even care about her? <br /> <br /> Upon arriving at the hospital, Raegan saw that the nurse was about to feed her grandmother dinner. Raegan took the job over and did it by herself. <br /> <br /> All her life, her grandmother had been living in the countryside, enjoying a quiet life. Everything changed last month when her routine medical checkup showed that she was in need of medical care. Raegan insisted on bringing her to the city for better treatment. <br /> <br /> Her grandmother wasn't aware of her marriage to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> Raegan had planned to surprise her today. But as it turned out, that was no longer necessary. <br /> <br /> Raegan waited for her grandmother to fall asleep before she left. She walked out of the hospital and waited for a taxi. <br /> <br /> In the distance, a black luxury car pulled into the entrance of the hospital. <br /> <br /> Raegan's eyes lit up when she saw it. She recognized that car as Mitchel's. <br /> <br /> Did he come to pick her up? <br /> <br /> At this moment, she forgot all the pain she had been feeling. <br /> <br /> Were her thoughts about him all wrong? Did he care for her, contrary to the gossip? <br /> <br /> The door of the driver's side opened and Mitchel got out. <br /> <br /> Raegan started walking toward him with her heart brimming with joy. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, she stopped dead in her tracks. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had just walked over to the other side and carried a woman out of the car. <br /> <br /> Worry and compassion were written all over his handsome face. <br /> <br /> This wiped the smile on Raegan's face. Her heart sank. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 3 Let's Divorce<br /> <br /> Mitchel's tall and straight figure got closer and closer to Raegan. And then, without saying a word, he strode past Raegan. <br /> <br /> It was hard to tell if Mitchel saw Raegan or just ignored her. <br /> <br /> Regardless, Raegan noticed that the woman in his arms was the same one who had been photographed with him yesterday. <br /> <br /> She was Lauren. <br /> <br /> Raegan's shoes felt like they were made of lead as she walked away. <br /> <br /> She lost all awareness of her surroundings. She got into a taxi absentmindedly. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, the driver uttered, "Ma'am, where to?"<br /> <br /> Raegan was stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> She didn't want to go back to Serenity Villas. It was only a matter of time before that place stopped being her home. <br /> <br /> After a while, she replied, "Please take me to Crystal Bay."<br /> <br /> She had purchased an apartment at Crystal Bay after getting married to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> At the time, she had hopes of bringing her grandmother to the city, so she bought the apartment on mortgage. It wasn't that big, but it had more than enough space for two people. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't understand why she wanted to buy an apartment. He offered to give her a bigger one, but she declined. <br /> <br /> Looking back now, she realized that buying that apartment was the only wise decision she had ever made in the last two years. <br /> <br /> When she arrived at the apartment complex, Raegan sat in the park alone, trying to cool herself down. <br /> <br /> The memories of the past two years were bittersweet. <br /> <br /> Two years had passed in the blink of an eye even though it was more than seven hundred days and nights. <br /> <br /> Love could move mountains, they said. <br /> <br /> Yet, her love didn't move that stone of a man. She finally realized what a fool she had been. She had been making herself a laughingstock in front of everyone. <br /> <br /> It was already late in the night before Raegan finally decided to go into her apartment. <br /> <br /> As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Mitchel standing in front of the door. <br /> <br /> His sleeves were rolled up casually, and the top buttons of his shirt were undone, which revealed his long neck and part of his collarbone. He was leaning on the wall by the door, his handsome face straight. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a moment. <br /> <br /> Why was he here? Didn't she see him at the hospital with Lauren? What brought him here? <br /> <br /> Their eyes met. With his coat draped over his arm and one of his hands in his pocket, Mitchel squinted at her. <br /> <br /> "Why didn't you answer the phone?" he asked, sounding a little grumpy like someone who hadn't slept in a long time. <br /> <br /> Raegan took out her phone and saw she had accidentally put it on DND. <br /> <br /> There were five missed calls from Mitchel. <br /> <br /> This marked the first time in their two-year marriage. <br /> <br /> Mitchel blew up her phone because he couldn't find her? Surprising! <br /> <br /> Before today, she would have been overjoyed by this. People would've thought she won the lottery. <br /> <br /> But now, she just threw her phone back into her bag, folded her arms, and said in a hoarse voice, "I didn't hear it ring."<br /> <br /> Mitchel raised his hand to check the time on the watch, and said impatiently, "I've been looking for you for two hours."<br /> <br /> After arranging everything for Lauren, he returned home to find an empty house. He looked for Raegan everywhere. When he couldn't find her, he asked Matteo to check the surveillance footage of all the roads that led away from the company. <br /> <br /> He later found out that Raegan went to Crystal Bay without telling him. <br /> <br /> "Next time, tell me when you are coming here, okay? Let's go home now." After that, Mitchel walked toward the elevator without sparing her another glance. <br /> <br /> He meant to go back to Serenity Villas. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn't move an inch. She just stared at his broad back and pondered reluctantly. <br /> <br /> Would they have a future? <br /> <br /> Mitchell turned around, only to see that Raegan hadn't taken a single step. He frowned and asked, "Can't you walk? Do you want me to carry you instead?"<br /> <br /> The light in the corridor illuminated his face, making his side profile almost impeccable. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and said, "Let's divorce."<br /> <br /> "What do you mean?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel's voice was cold, and his handsome face changed immediately. <br /> <br /> "I want to move into my own place. After all, we will be strangers soon."<br /> <br /> Raegan forced a smile, but her heart was aching as if someone was tearing it apart bit by bit. <br /> <br /> "We will be strangers?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel smiled coldly. "Raegan, what do you think our relationship is now?"<br /> <br /> His questioning left Raegan stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had made it very clear to her from the very beginning. This facade of their marriage had happened by mutual agreement. There was no love. In the eyes of others, they were nothing more than just a superior and a subordinate. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was quite the catch in Ardlens. Many young ladies longed for his love and were even willing to throw themselves at him. <br /> <br /> His question just now reminded her of that fact. Was he afraid that she wouldn't let him go that easily? If that was the case, he couldn't be more wrong... <br /> <br /> After biting her lower lip to conceal her bitterness, Raegan said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Dixon. I was giving it too much thought. Anyway, please leave me alone from now on. You don't have to come here again."<br /> <br /> After saying that, Raegan couldn't help but burst into tears. <br /> <br /> How could she not be sad when she was cutting ties with the man she had loved for a decade? It was such a long time. <br /> <br /> Regardless of how difficult it was, she knew it was time to let go. <br /> <br /> It was high time she stopped being a fool. <br /> <br /> Strangely, the light in the corridor began flickering. <br /> <br /> The deathly stare Mitchel was giving Raegan right now made the atmosphere seem like the moment before an attack in a horror movie. <br /> <br /> Although he understood that Raegan sometimes could throw a tantrum, he felt that she had just crossed the line now. <br /> <br /> His eyes shone like blazing torches at this moment. But when he saw the tears in her eyes, the rage inside him extinguished in an instant. He said in a low voice, "If this is about what happened between you and Tessa, I..."<br /> <br /> "No, this isn't about her. Mr. Dixon, please leave now."<br /> <br /> A lot of things happened between them. And the incident with Tessa didn't come close to any. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt exhausted. She passed by Mitchel and was about to open the door. <br /> <br /> Yet, Mitchel was displeased with her stubbornness. <br /> <br /> He loosened his tie irritably. He then took a step forward and grabbed her wrist. <br /> <br /> "Stop this, will you?"<br /> <br /> A second later, he put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his arms. <br /> <br /> He instantly realized that she was burning up like someone who had been set on fire. <br /> <br /> "You have a fever?"<br /> <br /> Raegan felt dizzy. She rested her head on his chest weakly. <br /> <br /> This made the whole situation complicated. <br /> <br /> Reagan was slow to catch that. When she finally realized that her body was too close to his, she put her hands against his chest and tried to pull back. <br /> <br /> Before she could escape, Mitchel pulled her back and held her by the waist. With a cold face, he said in a low voice, "Where do you think you are going?"<br /> <br /> The light flickered again. Out of the blue, Mitchel lifted her up. <br /> <br /> He then headed for the elevator. <br /> <br /> In a daze, Raegan asked softly, "What are you doing?"<br /> <br /> "What does it look like I am doing?" Mitchel remarked. "Taking you to the hospital, of course."<br /> <br /> "No way!" Raegan cried out in surprise and seemed to regain more strength. <br /> <br /> Mitchel might find out about her condition if they went to the hospital.<br /> <br /> Raegan struggled to get out of Mitchel's arms. However, his tight grip made her efforts fruitless. <br /> <br /> "Don't be so stubborn. You are sick, so you must see the doctor," Mitchel said firmly. <br /> <br /> He walked to the elevator with her in his arms. At this moment, Raegan's heart was thumping so hard that it could jump out of her chest. She flailed in protest. <br /> <br /> "Put me down! I don't want to go to the hospital!"<br /> &4& | Hello reading | 36313 | https://facebook.com/61552535188096 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714719600 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

"Congratulations! You are going to be a mom."<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Mitchel Dixon pinched her arm. His low voice came the next second. "Come back to earth. What are you thinking about?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel was her husband. They had been married secretly for two years. He was her superior at work, the president of the Dixon Group. <br /> <br /> Everything had happened so fast. She was newly employed in the company when they unexpectedly got married. <br /> <br /> At that time, Mitchel's grandfather fell seriously ill. It was then he proposed a fake marriage just to fulfill his grandfather's dying wish. <br /> <br /> They signed a prenup, agreeing to hide their marriage from the public. Their union could be terminated at any time. <br /> <br /> It was an unconventional thing to do. However, Raegan only considered herself lucky at that time. <br /> <br /> Never in a million years did she think she would ever get married to the man she had a crush on for eight years. She delightfully agreed. <br /> <br /> After their marriage, Mitchel was very busy. He spent most of his time working. <br /> <br /> Raegan wished she could spend more time with him at home. However, she was rest assured because there hadn't been any rumors or scandals about him with women in the past two years. <br /> <br /> Except for his mild indifference, Mitchel was a perfect husband. <br /> <br /> Raegan had mixed feelings as she stared at the medical report. <br /> <br /> In the end, she decided to tell Mitchel this news. <br /> <br /> She also wanted to tell him that she hadn't learned about him for the first time two years ago and that she had been crushing on him for many years before then. <br /> <br /> Just then, Mitchelโs phone rang. He went to the balcony and answered the phone. <br /> <br /> Raegan checked the time and found that it was already midnight. <br /> <br /> She felt a little uneasy. Who would call Mitchel at this hour? <br /> <br /> Mitchel spent a few minutes on the balcony. Thereafter, he returned and changed into formal attire. His handsome face which had a clear outline made him look dignified. <br /> <br /> He was something to see now. <br /> <br /> "Don't wait up for me. Good night," he said finally. <br /> <br /> What? He was on his way out? At this hour? <br /> <br /> Raegan's grip on the report tightened as she stared at him in disappointment. Unconsciously, she withdrew slightly. After thinking for a while, she blurted out, "It's already so late."<br /> <br /> Mitchel's fingers froze on his tie. With a faint smile, he pinched her earlobe and said, "Be good, okay? There's something I have to do. Don't wait up."<br /> <br /> With that, he headed for the door. <br /> <br /> "Mitchel."<br /> <br /> Raegan quickly ran and caught up with him. <br /> <br /> Mitchel turned around and looked at her seriously. <br /> <br /> "What's the matter?"<br /> <br /> There was a tinge of coldness to his voice. An icy cloud hung over them as they stared at each other. <br /> <br /> A little distressed, Raegan asked in a low voice, "I would like to visit my grandma tomorrow. Can you accompany me there?"<br /> <br /> Her grandmother always wanted to see her. As a result, Raegan wanted to take Mitchel there to assure her grandma they were happy. <br /> <br /> "Let's talk about it tomorrow, okay?" Without agreeing or declining, Mitchel left in a hurry. <br /> <br /> Several thoughts were threading Raegan's mind. She couldn't sleep a wink. <br /> <br /> After tossing and turning for a long time, she went to the kitchen and made herself a warm glass of milk. <br /> <br /> A few notifications from some online blogs came into her phone. <br /> <br /> However, she wasn't interested in them. She was about to swipe them away when one of them caught her attention. The familiar name made her click on it. <br /> <br /> The news read, "Famous designer, Lauren Murray was spotted at the airport with her mysterious boyfriend earlier today."<br /> <br /> Lauren was wearing a bucket hat. The man's figure was vague, but the outline of his body was enough to show that he was dashing. <br /> <br /> Raegan zoomed in on the picture. The next second, her heart dropped. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was the man in the picture! <br /> <br /> So, he canceled the afternoon meeting just to go pick up his ex-girlfriend from the airport? <br /> <br /> This realization settled like a boulder in Raegan's gut, rendering her flustered. <br /> <br /> Her hands trembled. Subconsciously, she dialed Mitchel's number. <br /> <br /> The dial tone brought her back to her senses. Just as she was about to hang up, the line connected, and a voice came from the other end. <br /> <br /> "Hello!"<br /> <br /> It was a particularly gentle woman's voice. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a second and then threw the phone away. <br /> <br /> She suddenly felt sick in her stomach. Covering her mouth, she ran into the bathroom and threw up in the toilet bowl. <br /> <br /> The next morning, Raegan went to work on time. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had tried to get her to stop working after they got married. Stubbornly, she insisted on making her own money. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't kick against her decision, but he asked her to work as his assistant, helping him with the daily chores. <br /> <br /> The head assistant, Matteo Jenkins was left to take care of the major affairs Mitchel had. <br /> <br /> Matteo was the only Dixon Group employee who knew about their marriage. <br /> <br /> Since inception, only male assistants were hired for the president's office. Reagan was the first and only female. Her employment broke the protocol. As a result, other workers couldn't help but wonder if she was involved with Mitchel. <br /> <br /> It took a while before they realized that Mitchel never gave Raegan special treatment. Strangely, this made them despise her even more. <br /> <br /> After all, no one would last long in anything while taking advantage of their looks.<br /> <br /> At this time, one of Raegan's colleagues handed her a document and ordered her to take it to Mitchel's office. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't return home last night. Raegan was so worried that she didn't sleep at all. <br /> <br /> All she kept thinking about was the woman who answered his phone when she called. What was her relationship with Mitchel?<br /> <br /> Raegan already knew the answer to that, but she was still in denial. <br /> <br /> It was difficult for her to come to terms with that fact. <br /> <br /> Raegan tried to remain calm now. She reasoned that no matter what happened, she deserved a result that would be rewarding for all the years she spent loving Mitchel. This couldn't be all for nothing, right? <br /> <br /> She pressed the elevator button calmly and went up to the president's office. Before she walked out of the elevator, she smoothed her hair to make sure she looked good. <br /> <br /> She had arrived at the office, only to see that the door was ajar. A man's voice came. She halted instantly. <br /> <br /> "Come on, man! Do you have any feelings for Raegan or not?"<br /> <br /> The voice belonged to Luis Stevens, a childhood friend of Mitchel's. <br /> <br /> "What do you mean exactly?" Mitchel asked in a cold voice. <br /> <br /> "You know exactly what I mean!" Luis clicked his tongue impatiently and added, "I think Raegan is a good girl. Isn't she your type?"<br /> <br /> "Do you want me to hand her over to you?" Mitchel asked carelessly. <br /> <br /> "You know what, forget it!"<br /> <br /> The scornful laughter of Luis sounded particularly harsh in Raegan's ears. <br /> <br /> They were talking about her as if she were an object. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and tightened her grip on the document. <br /> <br /> Soon, Luis's voice was heard again. <br /> <br /> "By the way, I saw the gossip news about Lauren's mysterious boyfriend this morning. That was you, right?"<br /> <br /> "Yes."<br /> <br /> "Well, well, well! That woman still has you wrapped around her little finger. You always want to please her."<br /> <br /> Luis sighed and continued to tease Mitchel. "As the old saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Tell me, did you two..."<br /> <br /> Their conversation was like a thunder exploding over Raegan's head. <br /> <br /> Her face turned pale and her body was as cold as ice. <br /> <br /> The woman was indeed Lauren! <br /> <br /> Absence made the heart grow fonder! <br /> <br /> Every word drove a knife into her heart. <br /> <br /> Several whispering voices filled her head at this time. She suddenly felt light-headed. Her vision became blurry. <br /> <br /> She held the wall and took a step backward. Suddenly, the door was opened from inside. <br /> <br /> "Raegan?"<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 2 One-sided Love<br /> <br /> Luis was the one who opened the door. It appeared he was on his way out. <br /> <br /> Raegan balled her hands, turned to him, and nodded. "Hey, Mr. Stevens!"<br /> <br /> Without waiting for him to respond to her greeting, she walked past him and entered the office with the document. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was seated behind a large luxurious desk. In an expensive suit and matching tie, he looked particularly handsome. <br /> <br /> Raegan noticed it wasn't the same suit he had on when he left home last night. How did he get changed? <br /> <br /> With her eyes lowered, she swallowed that question and said instead, "Mr. Dixon, this is from the Marketing Department. Please sign it."<br /> <br /> Mitchel was expressionless as he signed the document at a glance. <br /> <br /> Raegan walked out the door as soon as he handed the document back to her. Luis was still standing at the threshold. <br /> <br /> It wasn't until she went out of sight that Luis turned to Mitchel and said in a hushed tone, "Do you think she heard us?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel's appealing eyes were expressionless at the moment. Obviously, he wasn't paying attention to what Luis was saying. <br /> <br /> To Mitchel, Raegan had always been docile and never felt jealous of anyone. <br /> <br /> Her strict obedience was all Mitchel demanded from her in exchange for treating her well. <br /> <br /> In the elevator. <br /> <br /> Raegan held her breath just to hold back her tears. Unfortunately, it didn't work. <br /> <br /> She had thought two years would be enough for Mitchel to realize how much she loved him and reciprocate her love. <br /> <br /> Now, it turned out that was just a pipe dream. <br /> <br /> She realized she would always play second fiddle to Lauren, Mitchel's true love. <br /> <br /> Reagan wiped her tears when the elevator halted. Save for her pale face, she looked normal when the doors opened. <br /> <br /> She dragged herself to the break room, intending to make herself a cup of tea. <br /> <br /> Several employees were chatting inside. <br /> <br /> "Guys, have you heard? Lauren Murray is back."<br /> <br /> "And who is that?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, my! You don't know her? Lauren is the heiress of the Murray Group as well as a world-class designer. Most importantly, she's the only girlfriend Mr. Dixon has ever shown off in public. She's his first love!"<br /> <br /> "Why is her return such a big deal? Isn't it rumored that there is something between Mr. Dixon and Raegan?"<br /> <br /> "Raegan? She's nothing to Mr. Dixon. Mr. Dixon never admitted that he was dating her. And that is no surprise to me. After all, look at her. She's not even that beautiful. Yet, she behaves as if she's already Mrs. Dixon. What a fool!"<br /> <br /> Standing at the door, Raegan smiled with self-mockery as she listened to them. It turned out everyone else saw the truth except her. <br /> <br /> The love was one-sided. <br /> <br /> "Ha-ha, have you finally woken up from your wild dream, Raegan?"<br /> <br /> A voice of mockery suddenly came from behind. Raegan turned around to see Tessa Lloyd, Mitchel's cousin, who had always despised her. <br /> <br /> Tessa must have also heard the employees gossiping. <br /> <br /> The last thing Raegan wanted to do now was argue with Tessa in the company. She turned to leave, but Tessa blocked her way. <br /> <br /> With a cup of coffee in her hand, Tessa uttered sarcastically, "Lauren is back now. Do you think Mitchel will still give you any attention?"<br /> <br /> Raegan said nothing to that. <br /> <br /> Seconds later, Tessa continued the ridicule. "Maybe itโs time for you to seek out another man, you pathetic fool."<br /> <br /> Raegan clenched her fists and said coldly, "Ms. Lloyd, if you are interested in that kind of thing, feel free to pursue it yourself."<br /> <br /> "You..."<br /> <br /> Raegan's retort made Tessa's face change. <br /> <br /> The next second, Tessa raised her hand and emptied the cup of coffee on Raegan. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn't think for a second that Tessa would do something so crazy. She held up her arms just to block the liquid from her face. In no time, the coffee drenched her clothes. <br /> <br /> Raegan frowned. "What did you do that for? Are you out of your mind?"<br /> <br /> It was lunch break and many employees were free to watch the drama. Tessa was even more complacent when she saw growing onlookers. <br /> <br /> She put on a mean-girl look as she said, "What makes you so smug every day, huh? Do you seriously think that others don't know you are just an orphan? The nerve of..."<br /> <br /> Tessa was silenced by Raeganโs shove. <br /> <br /> Her jaw dropped to the floor. She had never expected that Raegan, who was so quiet and timid, would shove her. <br /> <br /> Tessa stuttered, "You... You pushed me? How dare you!"<br /> <br /> Raegan eyed her and replied, "Yes, I did! It seems you need to be taught simple politeness."<br /> <br /> Indeed, she lost her parents when she was a child. But that didn't mean she would allow someone to walk over her for it. <br /> <br /> Wrinkles appeared on Tessa's face as she frowned in anger. As Mitchel's cousin, she was used to being fawned over and respected. This was the first time she had been treated like this. <br /> <br /> Tessa charged at Raegan like a raging bull, poised to retaliate. <br /> <br /> This time, Raegan was fully prepared for what was coming. She grabbed Tessa's wrist so that the latter couldn't move another inch. <br /> <br /> Tessa was shorter than Raegan. As a result, she struggled like an octopus that had one of its tentacles stuck in a fishing trap. <br /> <br /> Tessa cursed angrily, "How dare you put your hands on me? Who do you think you are?"<br /> <br /> These harsh words attracted more people to the break room. <br /> <br /> "That's enough!"<br /> <br /> Out of the blue, a baritone came from behind. Mitchel had left his office and ran into this hullabaloo. <br /> <br /> The entire room fell silent. <br /> <br /> "Mitchel?" Tessa's blood ran cold at the sight of Mitchel. She had always been scared of him. Her mother also warned her against provoking him. <br /> <br /> But when she remembered that Raegan humiliated her, she put on a pitiful expression and sobbed. "Mitchel, she bullied me."<br /> <br /> The sunlight from outside fell on Mitchel's handsome face. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt so grieved all of a sudden, and lowered her head to look at her clothes which were soaked with coffee. <br /> <br /> Their gaze met in the air. With a deep frown, Mitchel looked at Raegan and said, "Raegan, have you forgotten the rules of the company?"<br /> <br /> His ruthlessness made Raegan's breathing cease. She couldn't believe her ears. <br /> <br /> No one dared to make a sound at this moment. <br /> <br /> Raegan just stood straight there with her slender figure. <br /> <br /> When she got employed here, Mitchel had told her that the Dixon Group wasn't a place for her to mess around and that he would not tolerate her making any mistakes. <br /> <br /> Raegan could understand why he took this stand. <br /> <br /> However, at this moment, she was desperate to know whether Mitchel had heard those hard words Tessa scolded her or he was just pretending not to have heard because he agreed to those words. <br /> <br /> Was she truly insignificant to him?<br /> <br /> Scared to death by Mitchel's rage, the crowd soon dispersed. A few employees were bold enough to peep from a distance, unwilling to miss the good show. <br /> <br /> Mitchel's cold eyes made Raegan shiver from head to toe. <br /> <br /> Raegan pinched her palm to suppress her emotions as she looked at Tessa. <br /> <br /> "I'm sorry, Ms. Lloyd. As an employee of the Dixon Group, it was wrong of me to have offended you."<br /> <br /> Eyeing Raegan, Tessa raised her chin complacently. "Humph! Don't think you'll be let off the hook just by making a simple apology. I don't buy..."<br /> <br /> "The offence has nothing to do with the company. Personally, I refuse to apologize to you. Now, if you'd excuse me," Raegan chimed in. <br /> <br /> She then walked past Mitchel without sparing him another look. <br /> <br /> "You..."<br /> <br /> Tessa's face turned blue after hearing what Raegan said. <br /> <br /> Never in her years of being alive had she been so humiliated. She was always the bully, not the victim! <br /> <br /> The humiliation was so much that scolding Raegan wouldn't appease her anger. <br /> <br /> Pointing in Raegan's direction, Tessa shouted, "Mitchel, did you hear what that woman just said? She humiliated me, yet she's still so arrogant. Call her back. I have to teach her some manners!"<br /> <br /> Mitchel, staring at Raegan's thin back, had an ambiguous expression at this moment. <br /> <br /> "Enough!" he said coldly, raising his hand. <br /> <br /> As someone who lived and breathed drama and cruelty, Tessa didn't think Mitchel was partial to Raegan just now. She assumed that Mitchel didn't care about Raegan at all. <br /> <br /> Tessa gritted her teeth and said viciously, "Next time, I'll get someone to teach her a lesson."<br /> <br /> "Tessa!" Mitchel's tone and squint made it a reproof. <br /> <br /> Tessa trembled at once. <br /> <br /> With a somber face, Mitchel said, "I'll only say it once. Forget about what happened here today. Leave Raegan alone."<br /> <br /> The aura he exuded made her tongue go dry. All the vicious ideas she had in store against Raegan disappeared in an instant. <br /> <br /> She stammered, "Ok... Okay, got it..."<br /> <br /> Mitchel cast a cold glance at her and spoke to Matteo. "Irrelevant people wouldn't be allowed in here from today onwards."<br /> <br /> Without catching the drift, Tessa flattered Mitchel. "Nice call. This is a top company. Not everyone gains access in here."<br /> <br /> Matteo nodded to Mitchel and then walked over to Tessa. He gestured to the exit. "Ms. Lloyd, this way, please."<br /> <br /> It wasn't until this moment that Tessa realized that she was the irrelevant person Mitchel just mentioned. She tried to speak to him, but Matteo blocked her way. The security guards then escorted her out. <br /> <br /> They showed her no mercy. Her struggle was useless. <br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Raegan got changed when she returned to her office. <br /> <br /> Her heart was filled with sadness as she thought of how Mitchel looked at her minutes ago. <br /> <br /> Closing hour soon rolled by. <br /> <br /> Raegan took her bag and headed for the exit. However, Matteo stopped her. <br /> <br /> He said, "Mr. Dixon has something urgent to deal with, so he asked me to drive you home."<br /> <br /> Raegan declined the ride without thinking twice. <br /> <br /> She was blind before, but now she could see through the situation. <br /> <br /> In Mitchel's eyes, she was just a nobody. <br /> <br /> How could Mitchel agree to accompany her to visit her grandmother when he didn't even care about her? <br /> <br /> Upon arriving at the hospital, Raegan saw that the nurse was about to feed her grandmother dinner. Raegan took the job over and did it by herself. <br /> <br /> All her life, her grandmother had been living in the countryside, enjoying a quiet life. Everything changed last month when her routine medical checkup showed that she was in need of medical care. Raegan insisted on bringing her to the city for better treatment. <br /> <br /> Her grandmother wasn't aware of her marriage to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> Raegan had planned to surprise her today. But as it turned out, that was no longer necessary. <br /> <br /> Raegan waited for her grandmother to fall asleep before she left. She walked out of the hospital and waited for a taxi. <br /> <br /> In the distance, a black luxury car pulled into the entrance of the hospital. <br /> <br /> Raegan's eyes lit up when she saw it. She recognized that car as Mitchel's. <br /> <br /> Did he come to pick her up? <br /> <br /> At this moment, she forgot all the pain she had been feeling. <br /> <br /> Were her thoughts about him all wrong? Did he care for her, contrary to the gossip? <br /> <br /> The door of the driver's side opened and Mitchel got out. <br /> <br /> Raegan started walking toward him with her heart brimming with joy. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, she stopped dead in her tracks. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had just walked over to the other side and carried a woman out of the car. <br /> <br /> Worry and compassion were written all over his handsome face. <br /> <br /> This wiped the smile on Raegan's face. Her heart sank. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 3 Let's Divorce<br /> <br /> Mitchel's tall and straight figure got closer and closer to Raegan. And then, without saying a word, he strode past Raegan. <br /> <br /> It was hard to tell if Mitchel saw Raegan or just ignored her. <br /> <br /> Regardless, Raegan noticed that the woman in his arms was the same one who had been photographed with him yesterday. <br /> <br /> She was Lauren. <br /> <br /> Raegan's shoes felt like they were made of lead as she walked away. <br /> <br /> She lost all awareness of her surroundings. She got into a taxi absentmindedly. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, the driver uttered, "Ma'am, where to?"<br /> <br /> Raegan was stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> She didn't want to go back to Serenity Villas. It was only a matter of time before that place stopped being her home. <br /> <br /> After a while, she replied, "Please take me to Crystal Bay."<br /> <br /> She had purchased an apartment at Crystal Bay after getting married to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> At the time, she had hopes of bringing her grandmother to the city, so she bought the apartment on mortgage. It wasn't that big, but it had more than enough space for two people. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't understand why she wanted to buy an apartment. He offered to give her a bigger one, but she declined. <br /> <br /> Looking back now, she realized that buying that apartment was the only wise decision she had ever made in the last two years. <br /> <br /> When she arrived at the apartment complex, Raegan sat in the park alone, trying to cool herself down. <br /> <br /> The memories of the past two years were bittersweet. <br /> <br /> Two years had passed in the blink of an eye even though it was more than seven hundred days and nights. <br /> <br /> Love could move mountains, they said. <br /> <br /> Yet, her love didn't move that stone of a man. She finally realized what a fool she had been. She had been making herself a laughingstock in front of everyone. <br /> <br /> It was already late in the night before Raegan finally decided to go into her apartment. <br /> <br /> As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Mitchel standing in front of the door. <br /> <br /> His sleeves were rolled up casually, and the top buttons of his shirt were undone, which revealed his long neck and part of his collarbone. He was leaning on the wall by the door, his handsome face straight. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a moment. <br /> <br /> Why was he here? Didn't she see him at the hospital with Lauren? What brought him here? <br /> <br /> Their eyes met. With his coat draped over his arm and one of his hands in his pocket, Mitchel squinted at her. <br /> <br /> "Why didn't you answer the phone?" he asked, sounding a little grumpy like someone who hadn't slept in a long time. <br /> <br /> Raegan took out her phone and saw she had accidentally put it on DND. <br /> <br /> There were five missed calls from Mitchel. <br /> <br /> This marked the first time in their two-year marriage. <br /> <br /> Mitchel blew up her phone because he couldn't find her? Surprising! <br /> <br /> Before today, she would have been overjoyed by this. People would've thought she won the lottery. <br /> <br /> But now, she just threw her phone back into her bag, folded her arms, and said in a hoarse voice, "I didn't hear it ring."<br /> <br /> Mitchel raised his hand to check the time on the watch, and said impatiently, "I've been looking for you for two hours."<br /> <br /> After arranging everything for Lauren, he returned home to find an empty house. He looked for Raegan everywhere. When he couldn't find her, he asked Matteo to check the surveillance footage of all the roads that led away from the company. <br /> <br /> He later found out that Raegan went to Crystal Bay without telling him. <br /> <br /> "Next time, tell me when you are coming here, okay? Let's go home now." After that, Mitchel walked toward the elevator without sparing her another glance. <br /> <br /> He meant to go back to Serenity Villas. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn't move an inch. She just stared at his broad back and pondered reluctantly. <br /> <br /> Would they have a future? <br /> <br /> Mitchell turned around, only to see that Raegan hadn't taken a single step. He frowned and asked, "Can't you walk? Do you want me to carry you instead?"<br /> <br /> The light in the corridor illuminated his face, making his side profile almost impeccable. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and said, "Let's divorce."<br /> <br /> "What do you mean?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel's voice was cold, and his handsome face changed immediately. <br /> <br /> "I want to move into my own place. After all, we will be strangers soon."<br /> <br /> Raegan forced a smile, but her heart was aching as if someone was tearing it apart bit by bit. <br /> <br /> "We will be strangers?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel smiled coldly. "Raegan, what do you think our relationship is now?"<br /> <br /> His questioning left Raegan stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had made it very clear to her from the very beginning. This facade of their marriage had happened by mutual agreement. There was no love. In the eyes of others, they were nothing more than just a superior and a subordinate. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was quite the catch in Ardlens. Many young ladies longed for his love and were even willing to throw themselves at him. <br /> <br /> His question just now reminded her of that fact. Was he afraid that she wouldn't let him go that easily? If that was the case, he couldn't be more wrong... <br /> <br /> After biting her lower lip to conceal her bitterness, Raegan said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Dixon. I was giving it too much thought. Anyway, please leave me alone from now on. You don't have to come here again."<br /> <br /> After saying that, Raegan couldn't help but burst into tears. <br /> <br /> How could she not be sad when she was cutting ties with the man she had loved for a decade? It was such a long time. <br /> <br /> Regardless of how difficult it was, she knew it was time to let go. <br /> <br /> It was high time she stopped being a fool. <br /> <br /> Strangely, the light in the corridor began flickering. <br /> <br /> The deathly stare Mitchel was giving Raegan right now made the atmosphere seem like the moment before an attack in a horror movie. <br /> <br /> Although he understood that Raegan sometimes could throw a tantrum, he felt that she had just crossed the line now. <br /> <br /> His eyes shone like blazing torches at this moment. But when he saw the tears in her eyes, the rage inside him extinguished in an instant. He said in a low voice, "If this is about what happened between you and Tessa, I..."<br /> <br /> "No, this isn't about her. Mr. Dixon, please leave now."<br /> <br /> A lot of things happened between them. And the incident with Tessa didn't come close to any. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt exhausted. She passed by Mitchel and was about to open the door. <br /> <br /> Yet, Mitchel was displeased with her stubbornness. <br /> <br /> He loosened his tie irritably. He then took a step forward and grabbed her wrist. <br /> <br /> "Stop this, will you?"<br /> <br /> A second later, he put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his arms. <br /> <br /> He instantly realized that she was burning up like someone who had been set on fire. <br /> <br /> "You have a fever?"<br /> <br /> Raegan felt dizzy. She rested her head on his chest weakly. <br /> <br /> This made the whole situation complicated. <br /> <br /> Reagan was slow to catch that. When she finally realized that her body was too close to his, she put her hands against his chest and tried to pull back. <br /> <br /> Before she could escape, Mitchel pulled her back and held her by the waist. With a cold face, he said in a low voice, "Where do you think you are going?"<br /> <br /> The light flickered again. Out of the blue, Mitchel lifted her up. <br /> <br /> He then headed for the elevator. <br /> <br /> In a daze, Raegan asked softly, "What are you doing?"<br /> <br /> "What does it look like I am doing?" Mitchel remarked. "Taking you to the hospital, of course."<br /> <br /> "No way!" Raegan cried out in surprise and seemed to regain more strength. <br /> <br /> Mitchel might find out about her condition if they went to the hospital.<br /> <br /> Raegan struggled to get out of Mitchel's arms. However, his tight grip made her efforts fruitless. <br /> <br /> "Don't be so stubborn. You are sick, so you must see the doctor," Mitchel said firmly. <br /> <br /> He walked to the elevator with her in his arms. At this moment, Raegan's heart was thumping so hard that it could jump out of her chest. She flailed in protest. <br /> <br /> "Put me down! I don't want to go to the hospital!"<br /> &4& | Late reading | 10850 | https://facebook.com/61554989897813 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714719600 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

"Congratulations! You are going to be a mom."<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Mitchel Dixon pinched her arm. His low voice came the next second. "Come back to earth. What are you thinking about?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel was her husband. They had been married secretly for two years. He was her superior at work, the president of the Dixon Group. <br /> <br /> Everything had happened so fast. She was newly employed in the company when they unexpectedly got married. <br /> <br /> At that time, Mitchel's grandfather fell seriously ill. It was then he proposed a fake marriage just to fulfill his grandfather's dying wish. <br /> <br /> They signed a prenup, agreeing to hide their marriage from the public. Their union could be terminated at any time. <br /> <br /> It was an unconventional thing to do. However, Raegan only considered herself lucky at that time. <br /> <br /> Never in a million years did she think she would ever get married to the man she had a crush on for eight years. She delightfully agreed. <br /> <br /> After their marriage, Mitchel was very busy. He spent most of his time working. <br /> <br /> Raegan wished she could spend more time with him at home. However, she was rest assured because there hadn't been any rumors or scandals about him with women in the past two years. <br /> <br /> Except for his mild indifference, Mitchel was a perfect husband. <br /> <br /> Raegan had mixed feelings as she stared at the medical report. <br /> <br /> In the end, she decided to tell Mitchel this news. <br /> <br /> She also wanted to tell him that she hadn't learned about him for the first time two years ago and that she had been crushing on him for many years before then. <br /> <br /> Just then, Mitchelโs phone rang. He went to the balcony and answered the phone. <br /> <br /> Raegan checked the time and found that it was already midnight. <br /> <br /> She felt a little uneasy. Who would call Mitchel at this hour? <br /> <br /> Mitchel spent a few minutes on the balcony. Thereafter, he returned and changed into formal attire. His handsome face which had a clear outline made him look dignified. <br /> <br /> He was something to see now. <br /> <br /> "Don't wait up for me. Good night," he said finally. <br /> <br /> What? He was on his way out? At this hour? <br /> <br /> Raegan's grip on the report tightened as she stared at him in disappointment. Unconsciously, she withdrew slightly. After thinking for a while, she blurted out, "It's already so late."<br /> <br /> Mitchel's fingers froze on his tie. With a faint smile, he pinched her earlobe and said, "Be good, okay? There's something I have to do. Don't wait up."<br /> <br /> With that, he headed for the door. <br /> <br /> "Mitchel."<br /> <br /> Raegan quickly ran and caught up with him. <br /> <br /> Mitchel turned around and looked at her seriously. <br /> <br /> "What's the matter?"<br /> <br /> There was a tinge of coldness to his voice. An icy cloud hung over them as they stared at each other. <br /> <br /> A little distressed, Raegan asked in a low voice, "I would like to visit my grandma tomorrow. Can you accompany me there?"<br /> <br /> Her grandmother always wanted to see her. As a result, Raegan wanted to take Mitchel there to assure her grandma they were happy. <br /> <br /> "Let's talk about it tomorrow, okay?" Without agreeing or declining, Mitchel left in a hurry. <br /> <br /> Several thoughts were threading Raegan's mind. She couldn't sleep a wink. <br /> <br /> After tossing and turning for a long time, she went to the kitchen and made herself a warm glass of milk. <br /> <br /> A few notifications from some online blogs came into her phone. <br /> <br /> However, she wasn't interested in them. She was about to swipe them away when one of them caught her attention. The familiar name made her click on it. <br /> <br /> The news read, "Famous designer, Lauren Murray was spotted at the airport with her mysterious boyfriend earlier today."<br /> <br /> Lauren was wearing a bucket hat. The man's figure was vague, but the outline of his body was enough to show that he was dashing. <br /> <br /> Raegan zoomed in on the picture. The next second, her heart dropped. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was the man in the picture! <br /> <br /> So, he canceled the afternoon meeting just to go pick up his ex-girlfriend from the airport? <br /> <br /> This realization settled like a boulder in Raegan's gut, rendering her flustered. <br /> <br /> Her hands trembled. Subconsciously, she dialed Mitchel's number. <br /> <br /> The dial tone brought her back to her senses. Just as she was about to hang up, the line connected, and a voice came from the other end. <br /> <br /> "Hello!"<br /> <br /> It was a particularly gentle woman's voice. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a second and then threw the phone away. <br /> <br /> She suddenly felt sick in her stomach. Covering her mouth, she ran into the bathroom and threw up in the toilet bowl. <br /> <br /> The next morning, Raegan went to work on time. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had tried to get her to stop working after they got married. Stubbornly, she insisted on making her own money. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't kick against her decision, but he asked her to work as his assistant, helping him with the daily chores. <br /> <br /> The head assistant, Matteo Jenkins was left to take care of the major affairs Mitchel had. <br /> <br /> Matteo was the only Dixon Group employee who knew about their marriage. <br /> <br /> Since inception, only male assistants were hired for the president's office. Reagan was the first and only female. Her employment broke the protocol. As a result, other workers couldn't help but wonder if she was involved with Mitchel. <br /> <br /> It took a while before they realized that Mitchel never gave Raegan special treatment. Strangely, this made them despise her even more. <br /> <br /> After all, no one would last long in anything while taking advantage of their looks.<br /> <br /> At this time, one of Raegan's colleagues handed her a document and ordered her to take it to Mitchel's office. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't return home last night. Raegan was so worried that she didn't sleep at all. <br /> <br /> All she kept thinking about was the woman who answered his phone when she called. What was her relationship with Mitchel?<br /> <br /> Raegan already knew the answer to that, but she was still in denial. <br /> <br /> It was difficult for her to come to terms with that fact. <br /> <br /> Raegan tried to remain calm now. She reasoned that no matter what happened, she deserved a result that would be rewarding for all the years she spent loving Mitchel. This couldn't be all for nothing, right? <br /> <br /> She pressed the elevator button calmly and went up to the president's office. Before she walked out of the elevator, she smoothed her hair to make sure she looked good. <br /> <br /> She had arrived at the office, only to see that the door was ajar. A man's voice came. She halted instantly. <br /> <br /> "Come on, man! Do you have any feelings for Raegan or not?"<br /> <br /> The voice belonged to Luis Stevens, a childhood friend of Mitchel's. <br /> <br /> "What do you mean exactly?" Mitchel asked in a cold voice. <br /> <br /> "You know exactly what I mean!" Luis clicked his tongue impatiently and added, "I think Raegan is a good girl. Isn't she your type?"<br /> <br /> "Do you want me to hand her over to you?" Mitchel asked carelessly. <br /> <br /> "You know what, forget it!"<br /> <br /> The scornful laughter of Luis sounded particularly harsh in Raegan's ears. <br /> <br /> They were talking about her as if she were an object. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and tightened her grip on the document. <br /> <br /> Soon, Luis's voice was heard again. <br /> <br /> "By the way, I saw the gossip news about Lauren's mysterious boyfriend this morning. That was you, right?"<br /> <br /> "Yes."<br /> <br /> "Well, well, well! That woman still has you wrapped around her little finger. You always want to please her."<br /> <br /> Luis sighed and continued to tease Mitchel. "As the old saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Tell me, did you two..."<br /> <br /> Their conversation was like a thunder exploding over Raegan's head. <br /> <br /> Her face turned pale and her body was as cold as ice. <br /> <br /> The woman was indeed Lauren! <br /> <br /> Absence made the heart grow fonder! <br /> <br /> Every word drove a knife into her heart. <br /> <br /> Several whispering voices filled her head at this time. She suddenly felt light-headed. Her vision became blurry. <br /> <br /> She held the wall and took a step backward. Suddenly, the door was opened from inside. <br /> <br /> "Raegan?"<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 2 One-sided Love<br /> <br /> Luis was the one who opened the door. It appeared he was on his way out. <br /> <br /> Raegan balled her hands, turned to him, and nodded. "Hey, Mr. Stevens!"<br /> <br /> Without waiting for him to respond to her greeting, she walked past him and entered the office with the document. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was seated behind a large luxurious desk. In an expensive suit and matching tie, he looked particularly handsome. <br /> <br /> Raegan noticed it wasn't the same suit he had on when he left home last night. How did he get changed? <br /> <br /> With her eyes lowered, she swallowed that question and said instead, "Mr. Dixon, this is from the Marketing Department. Please sign it."<br /> <br /> Mitchel was expressionless as he signed the document at a glance. <br /> <br /> Raegan walked out the door as soon as he handed the document back to her. Luis was still standing at the threshold. <br /> <br /> It wasn't until she went out of sight that Luis turned to Mitchel and said in a hushed tone, "Do you think she heard us?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel's appealing eyes were expressionless at the moment. Obviously, he wasn't paying attention to what Luis was saying. <br /> <br /> To Mitchel, Raegan had always been docile and never felt jealous of anyone. <br /> <br /> Her strict obedience was all Mitchel demanded from her in exchange for treating her well. <br /> <br /> In the elevator. <br /> <br /> Raegan held her breath just to hold back her tears. Unfortunately, it didn't work. <br /> <br /> She had thought two years would be enough for Mitchel to realize how much she loved him and reciprocate her love. <br /> <br /> Now, it turned out that was just a pipe dream. <br /> <br /> She realized she would always play second fiddle to Lauren, Mitchel's true love. <br /> <br /> Reagan wiped her tears when the elevator halted. Save for her pale face, she looked normal when the doors opened. <br /> <br /> She dragged herself to the break room, intending to make herself a cup of tea. <br /> <br /> Several employees were chatting inside. <br /> <br /> "Guys, have you heard? Lauren Murray is back."<br /> <br /> "And who is that?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, my! You don't know her? Lauren is the heiress of the Murray Group as well as a world-class designer. Most importantly, she's the only girlfriend Mr. Dixon has ever shown off in public. She's his first love!"<br /> <br /> "Why is her return such a big deal? Isn't it rumored that there is something between Mr. Dixon and Raegan?"<br /> <br /> "Raegan? She's nothing to Mr. Dixon. Mr. Dixon never admitted that he was dating her. And that is no surprise to me. After all, look at her. She's not even that beautiful. Yet, she behaves as if she's already Mrs. Dixon. What a fool!"<br /> <br /> Standing at the door, Raegan smiled with self-mockery as she listened to them. It turned out everyone else saw the truth except her. <br /> <br /> The love was one-sided. <br /> <br /> "Ha-ha, have you finally woken up from your wild dream, Raegan?"<br /> <br /> A voice of mockery suddenly came from behind. Raegan turned around to see Tessa Lloyd, Mitchel's cousin, who had always despised her. <br /> <br /> Tessa must have also heard the employees gossiping. <br /> <br /> The last thing Raegan wanted to do now was argue with Tessa in the company. She turned to leave, but Tessa blocked her way. <br /> <br /> With a cup of coffee in her hand, Tessa uttered sarcastically, "Lauren is back now. Do you think Mitchel will still give you any attention?"<br /> <br /> Raegan said nothing to that. <br /> <br /> Seconds later, Tessa continued the ridicule. "Maybe itโs time for you to seek out another man, you pathetic fool."<br /> <br /> Raegan clenched her fists and said coldly, "Ms. Lloyd, if you are interested in that kind of thing, feel free to pursue it yourself."<br /> <br /> "You..."<br /> <br /> Raegan's retort made Tessa's face change. <br /> <br /> The next second, Tessa raised her hand and emptied the cup of coffee on Raegan. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn't think for a second that Tessa would do something so crazy. She held up her arms just to block the liquid from her face. In no time, the coffee drenched her clothes. <br /> <br /> Raegan frowned. "What did you do that for? Are you out of your mind?"<br /> <br /> It was lunch break and many employees were free to watch the drama. Tessa was even more complacent when she saw growing onlookers. <br /> <br /> She put on a mean-girl look as she said, "What makes you so smug every day, huh? Do you seriously think that others don't know you are just an orphan? The nerve of..."<br /> <br /> Tessa was silenced by Raeganโs shove. <br /> <br /> Her jaw dropped to the floor. She had never expected that Raegan, who was so quiet and timid, would shove her. <br /> <br /> Tessa stuttered, "You... You pushed me? How dare you!"<br /> <br /> Raegan eyed her and replied, "Yes, I did! It seems you need to be taught simple politeness."<br /> <br /> Indeed, she lost her parents when she was a child. But that didn't mean she would allow someone to walk over her for it. <br /> <br /> Wrinkles appeared on Tessa's face as she frowned in anger. As Mitchel's cousin, she was used to being fawned over and respected. This was the first time she had been treated like this. <br /> <br /> Tessa charged at Raegan like a raging bull, poised to retaliate. <br /> <br /> This time, Raegan was fully prepared for what was coming. She grabbed Tessa's wrist so that the latter couldn't move another inch. <br /> <br /> Tessa was shorter than Raegan. As a result, she struggled like an octopus that had one of its tentacles stuck in a fishing trap. <br /> <br /> Tessa cursed angrily, "How dare you put your hands on me? Who do you think you are?"<br /> <br /> These harsh words attracted more people to the break room. <br /> <br /> "That's enough!"<br /> <br /> Out of the blue, a baritone came from behind. Mitchel had left his office and ran into this hullabaloo. <br /> <br /> The entire room fell silent. <br /> <br /> "Mitchel?" Tessa's blood ran cold at the sight of Mitchel. She had always been scared of him. Her mother also warned her against provoking him. <br /> <br /> But when she remembered that Raegan humiliated her, she put on a pitiful expression and sobbed. "Mitchel, she bullied me."<br /> <br /> The sunlight from outside fell on Mitchel's handsome face. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt so grieved all of a sudden, and lowered her head to look at her clothes which were soaked with coffee. <br /> <br /> Their gaze met in the air. With a deep frown, Mitchel looked at Raegan and said, "Raegan, have you forgotten the rules of the company?"<br /> <br /> His ruthlessness made Raegan's breathing cease. She couldn't believe her ears. <br /> <br /> No one dared to make a sound at this moment. <br /> <br /> Raegan just stood straight there with her slender figure. <br /> <br /> When she got employed here, Mitchel had told her that the Dixon Group wasn't a place for her to mess around and that he would not tolerate her making any mistakes. <br /> <br /> Raegan could understand why he took this stand. <br /> <br /> However, at this moment, she was desperate to know whether Mitchel had heard those hard words Tessa scolded her or he was just pretending not to have heard because he agreed to those words. <br /> <br /> Was she truly insignificant to him?<br /> <br /> Scared to death by Mitchel's rage, the crowd soon dispersed. A few employees were bold enough to peep from a distance, unwilling to miss the good show. <br /> <br /> Mitchel's cold eyes made Raegan shiver from head to toe. <br /> <br /> Raegan pinched her palm to suppress her emotions as she looked at Tessa. <br /> <br /> "I'm sorry, Ms. Lloyd. As an employee of the Dixon Group, it was wrong of me to have offended you."<br /> <br /> Eyeing Raegan, Tessa raised her chin complacently. "Humph! Don't think you'll be let off the hook just by making a simple apology. I don't buy..."<br /> <br /> "The offence has nothing to do with the company. Personally, I refuse to apologize to you. Now, if you'd excuse me," Raegan chimed in. <br /> <br /> She then walked past Mitchel without sparing him another look. <br /> <br /> "You..."<br /> <br /> Tessa's face turned blue after hearing what Raegan said. <br /> <br /> Never in her years of being alive had she been so humiliated. She was always the bully, not the victim! <br /> <br /> The humiliation was so much that scolding Raegan wouldn't appease her anger. <br /> <br /> Pointing in Raegan's direction, Tessa shouted, "Mitchel, did you hear what that woman just said? She humiliated me, yet she's still so arrogant. Call her back. I have to teach her some manners!"<br /> <br /> Mitchel, staring at Raegan's thin back, had an ambiguous expression at this moment. <br /> <br /> "Enough!" he said coldly, raising his hand. <br /> <br /> As someone who lived and breathed drama and cruelty, Tessa didn't think Mitchel was partial to Raegan just now. She assumed that Mitchel didn't care about Raegan at all. <br /> <br /> Tessa gritted her teeth and said viciously, "Next time, I'll get someone to teach her a lesson."<br /> <br /> "Tessa!" Mitchel's tone and squint made it a reproof. <br /> <br /> Tessa trembled at once. <br /> <br /> With a somber face, Mitchel said, "I'll only say it once. Forget about what happened here today. Leave Raegan alone."<br /> <br /> The aura he exuded made her tongue go dry. All the vicious ideas she had in store against Raegan disappeared in an instant. <br /> <br /> She stammered, "Ok... Okay, got it..."<br /> <br /> Mitchel cast a cold glance at her and spoke to Matteo. "Irrelevant people wouldn't be allowed in here from today onwards."<br /> <br /> Without catching the drift, Tessa flattered Mitchel. "Nice call. This is a top company. Not everyone gains access in here."<br /> <br /> Matteo nodded to Mitchel and then walked over to Tessa. He gestured to the exit. "Ms. Lloyd, this way, please."<br /> <br /> It wasn't until this moment that Tessa realized that she was the irrelevant person Mitchel just mentioned. She tried to speak to him, but Matteo blocked her way. The security guards then escorted her out. <br /> <br /> They showed her no mercy. Her struggle was useless. <br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Raegan got changed when she returned to her office. <br /> <br /> Her heart was filled with sadness as she thought of how Mitchel looked at her minutes ago. <br /> <br /> Closing hour soon rolled by. <br /> <br /> Raegan took her bag and headed for the exit. However, Matteo stopped her. <br /> <br /> He said, "Mr. Dixon has something urgent to deal with, so he asked me to drive you home."<br /> <br /> Raegan declined the ride without thinking twice. <br /> <br /> She was blind before, but now she could see through the situation. <br /> <br /> In Mitchel's eyes, she was just a nobody. <br /> <br /> How could Mitchel agree to accompany her to visit her grandmother when he didn't even care about her? <br /> <br /> Upon arriving at the hospital, Raegan saw that the nurse was about to feed her grandmother dinner. Raegan took the job over and did it by herself. <br /> <br /> All her life, her grandmother had been living in the countryside, enjoying a quiet life. Everything changed last month when her routine medical checkup showed that she was in need of medical care. Raegan insisted on bringing her to the city for better treatment. <br /> <br /> Her grandmother wasn't aware of her marriage to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> Raegan had planned to surprise her today. But as it turned out, that was no longer necessary. <br /> <br /> Raegan waited for her grandmother to fall asleep before she left. She walked out of the hospital and waited for a taxi. <br /> <br /> In the distance, a black luxury car pulled into the entrance of the hospital. <br /> <br /> Raegan's eyes lit up when she saw it. She recognized that car as Mitchel's. <br /> <br /> Did he come to pick her up? <br /> <br /> At this moment, she forgot all the pain she had been feeling. <br /> <br /> Were her thoughts about him all wrong? Did he care for her, contrary to the gossip? <br /> <br /> The door of the driver's side opened and Mitchel got out. <br /> <br /> Raegan started walking toward him with her heart brimming with joy. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, she stopped dead in her tracks. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had just walked over to the other side and carried a woman out of the car. <br /> <br /> Worry and compassion were written all over his handsome face. <br /> <br /> This wiped the smile on Raegan's face. Her heart sank. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 3 Let's Divorce<br /> <br /> Mitchel's tall and straight figure got closer and closer to Raegan. And then, without saying a word, he strode past Raegan. <br /> <br /> It was hard to tell if Mitchel saw Raegan or just ignored her. <br /> <br /> Regardless, Raegan noticed that the woman in his arms was the same one who had been photographed with him yesterday. <br /> <br /> She was Lauren. <br /> <br /> Raegan's shoes felt like they were made of lead as she walked away. <br /> <br /> She lost all awareness of her surroundings. She got into a taxi absentmindedly. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, the driver uttered, "Ma'am, where to?"<br /> <br /> Raegan was stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> She didn't want to go back to Serenity Villas. It was only a matter of time before that place stopped being her home. <br /> <br /> After a while, she replied, "Please take me to Crystal Bay."<br /> <br /> She had purchased an apartment at Crystal Bay after getting married to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> At the time, she had hopes of bringing her grandmother to the city, so she bought the apartment on mortgage. It wasn't that big, but it had more than enough space for two people. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't understand why she wanted to buy an apartment. He offered to give her a bigger one, but she declined. <br /> <br /> Looking back now, she realized that buying that apartment was the only wise decision she had ever made in the last two years. <br /> <br /> When she arrived at the apartment complex, Raegan sat in the park alone, trying to cool herself down. <br /> <br /> The memories of the past two years were bittersweet. <br /> <br /> Two years had passed in the blink of an eye even though it was more than seven hundred days and nights. <br /> <br /> Love could move mountains, they said. <br /> <br /> Yet, her love didn't move that stone of a man. She finally realized what a fool she had been. She had been making herself a laughingstock in front of everyone. <br /> <br /> It was already late in the night before Raegan finally decided to go into her apartment. <br /> <br /> As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Mitchel standing in front of the door. <br /> <br /> His sleeves were rolled up casually, and the top buttons of his shirt were undone, which revealed his long neck and part of his collarbone. He was leaning on the wall by the door, his handsome face straight. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a moment. <br /> <br /> Why was he here? Didn't she see him at the hospital with Lauren? What brought him here? <br /> <br /> Their eyes met. With his coat draped over his arm and one of his hands in his pocket, Mitchel squinted at her. <br /> <br /> "Why didn't you answer the phone?" he asked, sounding a little grumpy like someone who hadn't slept in a long time. <br /> <br /> Raegan took out her phone and saw she had accidentally put it on DND. <br /> <br /> There were five missed calls from Mitchel. <br /> <br /> This marked the first time in their two-year marriage. <br /> <br /> Mitchel blew up her phone because he couldn't find her? Surprising! <br /> <br /> Before today, she would have been overjoyed by this. People would've thought she won the lottery. <br /> <br /> But now, she just threw her phone back into her bag, folded her arms, and said in a hoarse voice, "I didn't hear it ring."<br /> <br /> Mitchel raised his hand to check the time on the watch, and said impatiently, "I've been looking for you for two hours."<br /> <br /> After arranging everything for Lauren, he returned home to find an empty house. He looked for Raegan everywhere. When he couldn't find her, he asked Matteo to check the surveillance footage of all the roads that led away from the company. <br /> <br /> He later found out that Raegan went to Crystal Bay without telling him. <br /> <br /> "Next time, tell me when you are coming here, okay? Let's go home now." After that, Mitchel walked toward the elevator without sparing her another glance. <br /> <br /> He meant to go back to Serenity Villas. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn't move an inch. She just stared at his broad back and pondered reluctantly. <br /> <br /> Would they have a future? <br /> <br /> Mitchell turned around, only to see that Raegan hadn't taken a single step. He frowned and asked, "Can't you walk? Do you want me to carry you instead?"<br /> <br /> The light in the corridor illuminated his face, making his side profile almost impeccable. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and said, "Let's divorce."<br /> <br /> "What do you mean?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel's voice was cold, and his handsome face changed immediately. <br /> <br /> "I want to move into my own place. After all, we will be strangers soon."<br /> <br /> Raegan forced a smile, but her heart was aching as if someone was tearing it apart bit by bit. <br /> <br /> "We will be strangers?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel smiled coldly. "Raegan, what do you think our relationship is now?"<br /> <br /> His questioning left Raegan stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had made it very clear to her from the very beginning. This facade of their marriage had happened by mutual agreement. There was no love. In the eyes of others, they were nothing more than just a superior and a subordinate. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was quite the catch in Ardlens. Many young ladies longed for his love and were even willing to throw themselves at him. <br /> <br /> His question just now reminded her of that fact. Was he afraid that she wouldn't let him go that easily? If that was the case, he couldn't be more wrong... <br /> <br /> After biting her lower lip to conceal her bitterness, Raegan said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Dixon. I was giving it too much thought. Anyway, please leave me alone from now on. You don't have to come here again."<br /> <br /> After saying that, Raegan couldn't help but burst into tears. <br /> <br /> How could she not be sad when she was cutting ties with the man she had loved for a decade? It was such a long time. <br /> <br /> Regardless of how difficult it was, she knew it was time to let go. <br /> <br /> It was high time she stopped being a fool. <br /> <br /> Strangely, the light in the corridor began flickering. <br /> <br /> The deathly stare Mitchel was giving Raegan right now made the atmosphere seem like the moment before an attack in a horror movie. <br /> <br /> Although he understood that Raegan sometimes could throw a tantrum, he felt that she had just crossed the line now. <br /> <br /> His eyes shone like blazing torches at this moment. But when he saw the tears in her eyes, the rage inside him extinguished in an instant. He said in a low voice, "If this is about what happened between you and Tessa, I..."<br /> <br /> "No, this isn't about her. Mr. Dixon, please leave now."<br /> <br /> A lot of things happened between them. And the incident with Tessa didn't come close to any. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt exhausted. She passed by Mitchel and was about to open the door. <br /> <br /> Yet, Mitchel was displeased with her stubbornness. <br /> <br /> He loosened his tie irritably. He then took a step forward and grabbed her wrist. <br /> <br /> "Stop this, will you?"<br /> <br /> A second later, he put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his arms. <br /> <br /> He instantly realized that she was burning up like someone who had been set on fire. <br /> <br /> "You have a fever?"<br /> <br /> Raegan felt dizzy. She rested her head on his chest weakly. <br /> <br /> This made the whole situation complicated. <br /> <br /> Reagan was slow to catch that. When she finally realized that her body was too close to his, she put her hands against his chest and tried to pull back. <br /> <br /> Before she could escape, Mitchel pulled her back and held her by the waist. With a cold face, he said in a low voice, "Where do you think you are going?"<br /> <br /> The light flickered again. Out of the blue, Mitchel lifted her up. <br /> <br /> He then headed for the elevator. <br /> <br /> In a daze, Raegan asked softly, "What are you doing?"<br /> <br /> "What does it look like I am doing?" Mitchel remarked. "Taking you to the hospital, of course."<br /> <br /> "No way!" Raegan cried out in surprise and seemed to regain more strength. <br /> <br /> Mitchel might find out about her condition if they went to the hospital.<br /> <br /> Raegan struggled to get out of Mitchel's arms. However, his tight grip made her efforts fruitless. <br /> <br /> "Don't be so stubborn. You are sick, so you must see the doctor," Mitchel said firmly. <br /> <br /> He walked to the elevator with her in his arms. At this moment, Raegan's heart was thumping so hard that it could jump out of her chest. She flailed in protest. <br /> <br /> "Put me down! I don't want to go to the hospital!"<br /> &4& | Hello reading | 36313 | https://facebook.com/61552535188096 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714719600 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

"Congratulations! You are going to be a mom."<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Mitchel Dixon pinched her arm. His low voice came the next second. "Come back to earth. What are you thinking about?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel was her husband. They had been married secretly for two years. He was her superior at work, the president of the Dixon Group. <br /> <br /> Everything had happened so fast. She was newly employed in the company when they unexpectedly got married. <br /> <br /> At that time, Mitchel's grandfather fell seriously ill. It was then he proposed a fake marriage just to fulfill his grandfather's dying wish. <br /> <br /> They signed a prenup, agreeing to hide their marriage from the public. Their union could be terminated at any time. <br /> <br /> It was an unconventional thing to do. However, Raegan only considered herself lucky at that time. <br /> <br /> Never in a million years did she think she would ever get married to the man she had a crush on for eight years. She delightfully agreed. <br /> <br /> After their marriage, Mitchel was very busy. He spent most of his time working. <br /> <br /> Raegan wished she could spend more time with him at home. However, she was rest assured because there hadn't been any rumors or scandals about him with women in the past two years. <br /> <br /> Except for his mild indifference, Mitchel was a perfect husband. <br /> <br /> Raegan had mixed feelings as she stared at the medical report. <br /> <br /> In the end, she decided to tell Mitchel this news. <br /> <br /> She also wanted to tell him that she hadn't learned about him for the first time two years ago and that she had been crushing on him for many years before then. <br /> <br /> Just then, Mitchelโs phone rang. He went to the balcony and answered the phone. <br /> <br /> Raegan checked the time and found that it was already midnight. <br /> <br /> She felt a little uneasy. Who would call Mitchel at this hour? <br /> <br /> Mitchel spent a few minutes on the balcony. Thereafter, he returned and changed into formal attire. His handsome face which had a clear outline made him look dignified. <br /> <br /> He was something to see now. <br /> <br /> "Don't wait up for me. Good night," he said finally. <br /> <br /> What? He was on his way out? At this hour? <br /> <br /> Raegan's grip on the report tightened as she stared at him in disappointment. Unconsciously, she withdrew slightly. After thinking for a while, she blurted out, "It's already so late."<br /> <br /> Mitchel's fingers froze on his tie. With a faint smile, he pinched her earlobe and said, "Be good, okay? There's something I have to do. Don't wait up."<br /> <br /> With that, he headed for the door. <br /> <br /> "Mitchel."<br /> <br /> Raegan quickly ran and caught up with him. <br /> <br /> Mitchel turned around and looked at her seriously. <br /> <br /> "What's the matter?"<br /> <br /> There was a tinge of coldness to his voice. An icy cloud hung over them as they stared at each other. <br /> <br /> A little distressed, Raegan asked in a low voice, "I would like to visit my grandma tomorrow. Can you accompany me there?"<br /> <br /> Her grandmother always wanted to see her. As a result, Raegan wanted to take Mitchel there to assure her grandma they were happy. <br /> <br /> "Let's talk about it tomorrow, okay?" Without agreeing or declining, Mitchel left in a hurry. <br /> <br /> Several thoughts were threading Raegan's mind. She couldn't sleep a wink. <br /> <br /> After tossing and turning for a long time, she went to the kitchen and made herself a warm glass of milk. <br /> <br /> A few notifications from some online blogs came into her phone. <br /> <br /> However, she wasn't interested in them. She was about to swipe them away when one of them caught her attention. The familiar name made her click on it. <br /> <br /> The news read, "Famous designer, Lauren Murray was spotted at the airport with her mysterious boyfriend earlier today."<br /> <br /> Lauren was wearing a bucket hat. The man's figure was vague, but the outline of his body was enough to show that he was dashing. <br /> <br /> Raegan zoomed in on the picture. The next second, her heart dropped. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was the man in the picture! <br /> <br /> So, he canceled the afternoon meeting just to go pick up his ex-girlfriend from the airport? <br /> <br /> This realization settled like a boulder in Raegan's gut, rendering her flustered. <br /> <br /> Her hands trembled. Subconsciously, she dialed Mitchel's number. <br /> <br /> The dial tone brought her back to her senses. Just as she was about to hang up, the line connected, and a voice came from the other end. <br /> <br /> "Hello!"<br /> <br /> It was a particularly gentle woman's voice. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a second and then threw the phone away. <br /> <br /> She suddenly felt sick in her stomach. Covering her mouth, she ran into the bathroom and threw up in the toilet bowl. <br /> <br /> The next morning, Raegan went to work on time. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had tried to get her to stop working after they got married. Stubbornly, she insisted on making her own money. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't kick against her decision, but he asked her to work as his assistant, helping him with the daily chores. <br /> <br /> The head assistant, Matteo Jenkins was left to take care of the major affairs Mitchel had. <br /> <br /> Matteo was the only Dixon Group employee who knew about their marriage. <br /> <br /> Since inception, only male assistants were hired for the president's office. Reagan was the first and only female. Her employment broke the protocol. As a result, other workers couldn't help but wonder if she was involved with Mitchel. <br /> <br /> It took a while before they realized that Mitchel never gave Raegan special treatment. Strangely, this made them despise her even more. <br /> <br /> After all, no one would last long in anything while taking advantage of their looks.<br /> <br /> At this time, one of Raegan's colleagues handed her a document and ordered her to take it to Mitchel's office. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't return home last night. Raegan was so worried that she didn't sleep at all. <br /> <br /> All she kept thinking about was the woman who answered his phone when she called. What was her relationship with Mitchel?<br /> <br /> Raegan already knew the answer to that, but she was still in denial. <br /> <br /> It was difficult for her to come to terms with that fact. <br /> <br /> Raegan tried to remain calm now. She reasoned that no matter what happened, she deserved a result that would be rewarding for all the years she spent loving Mitchel. This couldn't be all for nothing, right? <br /> <br /> She pressed the elevator button calmly and went up to the president's office. Before she walked out of the elevator, she smoothed her hair to make sure she looked good. <br /> <br /> She had arrived at the office, only to see that the door was ajar. A man's voice came. She halted instantly. <br /> <br /> "Come on, man! Do you have any feelings for Raegan or not?"<br /> <br /> The voice belonged to Luis Stevens, a childhood friend of Mitchel's. <br /> <br /> "What do you mean exactly?" Mitchel asked in a cold voice. <br /> <br /> "You know exactly what I mean!" Luis clicked his tongue impatiently and added, "I think Raegan is a good girl. Isn't she your type?"<br /> <br /> "Do you want me to hand her over to you?" Mitchel asked carelessly. <br /> <br /> "You know what, forget it!"<br /> <br /> The scornful laughter of Luis sounded particularly harsh in Raegan's ears. <br /> <br /> They were talking about her as if she were an object. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and tightened her grip on the document. <br /> <br /> Soon, Luis's voice was heard again. <br /> <br /> "By the way, I saw the gossip news about Lauren's mysterious boyfriend this morning. That was you, right?"<br /> <br /> "Yes."<br /> <br /> "Well, well, well! That woman still has you wrapped around her little finger. You always want to please her."<br /> <br /> Luis sighed and continued to tease Mitchel. "As the old saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Tell me, did you two..."<br /> <br /> Their conversation was like a thunder exploding over Raegan's head. <br /> <br /> Her face turned pale and her body was as cold as ice. <br /> <br /> The woman was indeed Lauren! <br /> <br /> Absence made the heart grow fonder! <br /> <br /> Every word drove a knife into her heart. <br /> <br /> Several whispering voices filled her head at this time. She suddenly felt light-headed. Her vision became blurry. <br /> <br /> She held the wall and took a step backward. Suddenly, the door was opened from inside. <br /> <br /> "Raegan?"<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 2 One-sided Love<br /> <br /> Luis was the one who opened the door. It appeared he was on his way out. <br /> <br /> Raegan balled her hands, turned to him, and nodded. "Hey, Mr. Stevens!"<br /> <br /> Without waiting for him to respond to her greeting, she walked past him and entered the office with the document. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was seated behind a large luxurious desk. In an expensive suit and matching tie, he looked particularly handsome. <br /> <br /> Raegan noticed it wasn't the same suit he had on when he left home last night. How did he get changed? <br /> <br /> With her eyes lowered, she swallowed that question and said instead, "Mr. Dixon, this is from the Marketing Department. Please sign it."<br /> <br /> Mitchel was expressionless as he signed the document at a glance. <br /> <br /> Raegan walked out the door as soon as he handed the document back to her. Luis was still standing at the threshold. <br /> <br /> It wasn't until she went out of sight that Luis turned to Mitchel and said in a hushed tone, "Do you think she heard us?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel's appealing eyes were expressionless at the moment. Obviously, he wasn't paying attention to what Luis was saying. <br /> <br /> To Mitchel, Raegan had always been docile and never felt jealous of anyone. <br /> <br /> Her strict obedience was all Mitchel demanded from her in exchange for treating her well. <br /> <br /> In the elevator. <br /> <br /> Raegan held her breath just to hold back her tears. Unfortunately, it didn't work. <br /> <br /> She had thought two years would be enough for Mitchel to realize how much she loved him and reciprocate her love. <br /> <br /> Now, it turned out that was just a pipe dream. <br /> <br /> She realized she would always play second fiddle to Lauren, Mitchel's true love. <br /> <br /> Reagan wiped her tears when the elevator halted. Save for her pale face, she looked normal when the doors opened. <br /> <br /> She dragged herself to the break room, intending to make herself a cup of tea. <br /> <br /> Several employees were chatting inside. <br /> <br /> "Guys, have you heard? Lauren Murray is back."<br /> <br /> "And who is that?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, my! You don't know her? Lauren is the heiress of the Murray Group as well as a world-class designer. Most importantly, she's the only girlfriend Mr. Dixon has ever shown off in public. She's his first love!"<br /> <br /> "Why is her return such a big deal? Isn't it rumored that there is something between Mr. Dixon and Raegan?"<br /> <br /> "Raegan? She's nothing to Mr. Dixon. Mr. Dixon never admitted that he was dating her. And that is no surprise to me. After all, look at her. She's not even that beautiful. Yet, she behaves as if she's already Mrs. Dixon. What a fool!"<br /> <br /> Standing at the door, Raegan smiled with self-mockery as she listened to them. It turned out everyone else saw the truth except her. <br /> <br /> The love was one-sided. <br /> <br /> "Ha-ha, have you finally woken up from your wild dream, Raegan?"<br /> <br /> A voice of mockery suddenly came from behind. Raegan turned around to see Tessa Lloyd, Mitchel's cousin, who had always despised her. <br /> <br /> Tessa must have also heard the employees gossiping. <br /> <br /> The last thing Raegan wanted to do now was argue with Tessa in the company. She turned to leave, but Tessa blocked her way. <br /> <br /> With a cup of coffee in her hand, Tessa uttered sarcastically, "Lauren is back now. Do you think Mitchel will still give you any attention?"<br /> <br /> Raegan said nothing to that. <br /> <br /> Seconds later, Tessa continued the ridicule. "Maybe itโs time for you to seek out another man, you pathetic fool."<br /> <br /> Raegan clenched her fists and said coldly, "Ms. Lloyd, if you are interested in that kind of thing, feel free to pursue it yourself."<br /> <br /> "You..."<br /> <br /> Raegan's retort made Tessa's face change. <br /> <br /> The next second, Tessa raised her hand and emptied the cup of coffee on Raegan. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn't think for a second that Tessa would do something so crazy. She held up her arms just to block the liquid from her face. In no time, the coffee drenched her clothes. <br /> <br /> Raegan frowned. "What did you do that for? Are you out of your mind?"<br /> <br /> It was lunch break and many employees were free to watch the drama. Tessa was even more complacent when she saw growing onlookers. <br /> <br /> She put on a mean-girl look as she said, "What makes you so smug every day, huh? Do you seriously think that others don't know you are just an orphan? The nerve of..."<br /> <br /> Tessa was silenced by Raeganโs shove. <br /> <br /> Her jaw dropped to the floor. She had never expected that Raegan, who was so quiet and timid, would shove her. <br /> <br /> Tessa stuttered, "You... You pushed me? How dare you!"<br /> <br /> Raegan eyed her and replied, "Yes, I did! It seems you need to be taught simple politeness."<br /> <br /> Indeed, she lost her parents when she was a child. But that didn't mean she would allow someone to walk over her for it. <br /> <br /> Wrinkles appeared on Tessa's face as she frowned in anger. As Mitchel's cousin, she was used to being fawned over and respected. This was the first time she had been treated like this. <br /> <br /> Tessa charged at Raegan like a raging bull, poised to retaliate. <br /> <br /> This time, Raegan was fully prepared for what was coming. She grabbed Tessa's wrist so that the latter couldn't move another inch. <br /> <br /> Tessa was shorter than Raegan. As a result, she struggled like an octopus that had one of its tentacles stuck in a fishing trap. <br /> <br /> Tessa cursed angrily, "How dare you put your hands on me? Who do you think you are?"<br /> <br /> These harsh words attracted more people to the break room. <br /> <br /> "That's enough!"<br /> <br /> Out of the blue, a baritone came from behind. Mitchel had left his office and ran into this hullabaloo. <br /> <br /> The entire room fell silent. <br /> <br /> "Mitchel?" Tessa's blood ran cold at the sight of Mitchel. She had always been scared of him. Her mother also warned her against provoking him. <br /> <br /> But when she remembered that Raegan humiliated her, she put on a pitiful expression and sobbed. "Mitchel, she bullied me."<br /> <br /> The sunlight from outside fell on Mitchel's handsome face. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt so grieved all of a sudden, and lowered her head to look at her clothes which were soaked with coffee. <br /> <br /> Their gaze met in the air. With a deep frown, Mitchel looked at Raegan and said, "Raegan, have you forgotten the rules of the company?"<br /> <br /> His ruthlessness made Raegan's breathing cease. She couldn't believe her ears. <br /> <br /> No one dared to make a sound at this moment. <br /> <br /> Raegan just stood straight there with her slender figure. <br /> <br /> When she got employed here, Mitchel had told her that the Dixon Group wasn't a place for her to mess around and that he would not tolerate her making any mistakes. <br /> <br /> Raegan could understand why he took this stand. <br /> <br /> However, at this moment, she was desperate to know whether Mitchel had heard those hard words Tessa scolded her or he was just pretending not to have heard because he agreed to those words. <br /> <br /> Was she truly insignificant to him?<br /> <br /> Scared to death by Mitchel's rage, the crowd soon dispersed. A few employees were bold enough to peep from a distance, unwilling to miss the good show. <br /> <br /> Mitchel's cold eyes made Raegan shiver from head to toe. <br /> <br /> Raegan pinched her palm to suppress her emotions as she looked at Tessa. <br /> <br /> "I'm sorry, Ms. Lloyd. As an employee of the Dixon Group, it was wrong of me to have offended you."<br /> <br /> Eyeing Raegan, Tessa raised her chin complacently. "Humph! Don't think you'll be let off the hook just by making a simple apology. I don't buy..."<br /> <br /> "The offence has nothing to do with the company. Personally, I refuse to apologize to you. Now, if you'd excuse me," Raegan chimed in. <br /> <br /> She then walked past Mitchel without sparing him another look. <br /> <br /> "You..."<br /> <br /> Tessa's face turned blue after hearing what Raegan said. <br /> <br /> Never in her years of being alive had she been so humiliated. She was always the bully, not the victim! <br /> <br /> The humiliation was so much that scolding Raegan wouldn't appease her anger. <br /> <br /> Pointing in Raegan's direction, Tessa shouted, "Mitchel, did you hear what that woman just said? She humiliated me, yet she's still so arrogant. Call her back. I have to teach her some manners!"<br /> <br /> Mitchel, staring at Raegan's thin back, had an ambiguous expression at this moment. <br /> <br /> "Enough!" he said coldly, raising his hand. <br /> <br /> As someone who lived and breathed drama and cruelty, Tessa didn't think Mitchel was partial to Raegan just now. She assumed that Mitchel didn't care about Raegan at all. <br /> <br /> Tessa gritted her teeth and said viciously, "Next time, I'll get someone to teach her a lesson."<br /> <br /> "Tessa!" Mitchel's tone and squint made it a reproof. <br /> <br /> Tessa trembled at once. <br /> <br /> With a somber face, Mitchel said, "I'll only say it once. Forget about what happened here today. Leave Raegan alone."<br /> <br /> The aura he exuded made her tongue go dry. All the vicious ideas she had in store against Raegan disappeared in an instant. <br /> <br /> She stammered, "Ok... Okay, got it..."<br /> <br /> Mitchel cast a cold glance at her and spoke to Matteo. "Irrelevant people wouldn't be allowed in here from today onwards."<br /> <br /> Without catching the drift, Tessa flattered Mitchel. "Nice call. This is a top company. Not everyone gains access in here."<br /> <br /> Matteo nodded to Mitchel and then walked over to Tessa. He gestured to the exit. "Ms. Lloyd, this way, please."<br /> <br /> It wasn't until this moment that Tessa realized that she was the irrelevant person Mitchel just mentioned. She tried to speak to him, but Matteo blocked her way. The security guards then escorted her out. <br /> <br /> They showed her no mercy. Her struggle was useless. <br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Raegan got changed when she returned to her office. <br /> <br /> Her heart was filled with sadness as she thought of how Mitchel looked at her minutes ago. <br /> <br /> Closing hour soon rolled by. <br /> <br /> Raegan took her bag and headed for the exit. However, Matteo stopped her. <br /> <br /> He said, "Mr. Dixon has something urgent to deal with, so he asked me to drive you home."<br /> <br /> Raegan declined the ride without thinking twice. <br /> <br /> She was blind before, but now she could see through the situation. <br /> <br /> In Mitchel's eyes, she was just a nobody. <br /> <br /> How could Mitchel agree to accompany her to visit her grandmother when he didn't even care about her? <br /> <br /> Upon arriving at the hospital, Raegan saw that the nurse was about to feed her grandmother dinner. Raegan took the job over and did it by herself. <br /> <br /> All her life, her grandmother had been living in the countryside, enjoying a quiet life. Everything changed last month when her routine medical checkup showed that she was in need of medical care. Raegan insisted on bringing her to the city for better treatment. <br /> <br /> Her grandmother wasn't aware of her marriage to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> Raegan had planned to surprise her today. But as it turned out, that was no longer necessary. <br /> <br /> Raegan waited for her grandmother to fall asleep before she left. She walked out of the hospital and waited for a taxi. <br /> <br /> In the distance, a black luxury car pulled into the entrance of the hospital. <br /> <br /> Raegan's eyes lit up when she saw it. She recognized that car as Mitchel's. <br /> <br /> Did he come to pick her up? <br /> <br /> At this moment, she forgot all the pain she had been feeling. <br /> <br /> Were her thoughts about him all wrong? Did he care for her, contrary to the gossip? <br /> <br /> The door of the driver's side opened and Mitchel got out. <br /> <br /> Raegan started walking toward him with her heart brimming with joy. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, she stopped dead in her tracks. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had just walked over to the other side and carried a woman out of the car. <br /> <br /> Worry and compassion were written all over his handsome face. <br /> <br /> This wiped the smile on Raegan's face. Her heart sank. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 3 Let's Divorce<br /> <br /> Mitchel's tall and straight figure got closer and closer to Raegan. And then, without saying a word, he strode past Raegan. <br /> <br /> It was hard to tell if Mitchel saw Raegan or just ignored her. <br /> <br /> Regardless, Raegan noticed that the woman in his arms was the same one who had been photographed with him yesterday. <br /> <br /> She was Lauren. <br /> <br /> Raegan's shoes felt like they were made of lead as she walked away. <br /> <br /> She lost all awareness of her surroundings. She got into a taxi absentmindedly. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, the driver uttered, "Ma'am, where to?"<br /> <br /> Raegan was stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> She didn't want to go back to Serenity Villas. It was only a matter of time before that place stopped being her home. <br /> <br /> After a while, she replied, "Please take me to Crystal Bay."<br /> <br /> She had purchased an apartment at Crystal Bay after getting married to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> At the time, she had hopes of bringing her grandmother to the city, so she bought the apartment on mortgage. It wasn't that big, but it had more than enough space for two people. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't understand why she wanted to buy an apartment. He offered to give her a bigger one, but she declined. <br /> <br /> Looking back now, she realized that buying that apartment was the only wise decision she had ever made in the last two years. <br /> <br /> When she arrived at the apartment complex, Raegan sat in the park alone, trying to cool herself down. <br /> <br /> The memories of the past two years were bittersweet. <br /> <br /> Two years had passed in the blink of an eye even though it was more than seven hundred days and nights. <br /> <br /> Love could move mountains, they said. <br /> <br /> Yet, her love didn't move that stone of a man. She finally realized what a fool she had been. She had been making herself a laughingstock in front of everyone. <br /> <br /> It was already late in the night before Raegan finally decided to go into her apartment. <br /> <br /> As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Mitchel standing in front of the door. <br /> <br /> His sleeves were rolled up casually, and the top buttons of his shirt were undone, which revealed his long neck and part of his collarbone. He was leaning on the wall by the door, his handsome face straight. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a moment. <br /> <br /> Why was he here? Didn't she see him at the hospital with Lauren? What brought him here? <br /> <br /> Their eyes met. With his coat draped over his arm and one of his hands in his pocket, Mitchel squinted at her. <br /> <br /> "Why didn't you answer the phone?" he asked, sounding a little grumpy like someone who hadn't slept in a long time. <br /> <br /> Raegan took out her phone and saw she had accidentally put it on DND. <br /> <br /> There were five missed calls from Mitchel. <br /> <br /> This marked the first time in their two-year marriage. <br /> <br /> Mitchel blew up her phone because he couldn't find her? Surprising! <br /> <br /> Before today, she would have been overjoyed by this. People would've thought she won the lottery. <br /> <br /> But now, she just threw her phone back into her bag, folded her arms, and said in a hoarse voice, "I didn't hear it ring."<br /> <br /> Mitchel raised his hand to check the time on the watch, and said impatiently, "I've been looking for you for two hours."<br /> <br /> After arranging everything for Lauren, he returned home to find an empty house. He looked for Raegan everywhere. When he couldn't find her, he asked Matteo to check the surveillance footage of all the roads that led away from the company. <br /> <br /> He later found out that Raegan went to Crystal Bay without telling him. <br /> <br /> "Next time, tell me when you are coming here, okay? Let's go home now." After that, Mitchel walked toward the elevator without sparing her another glance. <br /> <br /> He meant to go back to Serenity Villas. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn't move an inch. She just stared at his broad back and pondered reluctantly. <br /> <br /> Would they have a future? <br /> <br /> Mitchell turned around, only to see that Raegan hadn't taken a single step. He frowned and asked, "Can't you walk? Do you want me to carry you instead?"<br /> <br /> The light in the corridor illuminated his face, making his side profile almost impeccable. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and said, "Let's divorce."<br /> <br /> "What do you mean?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel's voice was cold, and his handsome face changed immediately. <br /> <br /> "I want to move into my own place. After all, we will be strangers soon."<br /> <br /> Raegan forced a smile, but her heart was aching as if someone was tearing it apart bit by bit. <br /> <br /> "We will be strangers?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel smiled coldly. "Raegan, what do you think our relationship is now?"<br /> <br /> His questioning left Raegan stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had made it very clear to her from the very beginning. This facade of their marriage had happened by mutual agreement. There was no love. In the eyes of others, they were nothing more than just a superior and a subordinate. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was quite the catch in Ardlens. Many young ladies longed for his love and were even willing to throw themselves at him. <br /> <br /> His question just now reminded her of that fact. Was he afraid that she wouldn't let him go that easily? If that was the case, he couldn't be more wrong... <br /> <br /> After biting her lower lip to conceal her bitterness, Raegan said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Dixon. I was giving it too much thought. Anyway, please leave me alone from now on. You don't have to come here again."<br /> <br /> After saying that, Raegan couldn't help but burst into tears. <br /> <br /> How could she not be sad when she was cutting ties with the man she had loved for a decade? It was such a long time. <br /> <br /> Regardless of how difficult it was, she knew it was time to let go. <br /> <br /> It was high time she stopped being a fool. <br /> <br /> Strangely, the light in the corridor began flickering. <br /> <br /> The deathly stare Mitchel was giving Raegan right now made the atmosphere seem like the moment before an attack in a horror movie. <br /> <br /> Although he understood that Raegan sometimes could throw a tantrum, he felt that she had just crossed the line now. <br /> <br /> His eyes shone like blazing torches at this moment. But when he saw the tears in her eyes, the rage inside him extinguished in an instant. He said in a low voice, "If this is about what happened between you and Tessa, I..."<br /> <br /> "No, this isn't about her. Mr. Dixon, please leave now."<br /> <br /> A lot of things happened between them. And the incident with Tessa didn't come close to any. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt exhausted. She passed by Mitchel and was about to open the door. <br /> <br /> Yet, Mitchel was displeased with her stubbornness. <br /> <br /> He loosened his tie irritably. He then took a step forward and grabbed her wrist. <br /> <br /> "Stop this, will you?"<br /> <br /> A second later, he put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his arms. <br /> <br /> He instantly realized that she was burning up like someone who had been set on fire. <br /> <br /> "You have a fever?"<br /> <br /> Raegan felt dizzy. She rested her head on his chest weakly. <br /> <br /> This made the whole situation complicated. <br /> <br /> Reagan was slow to catch that. When she finally realized that her body was too close to his, she put her hands against his chest and tried to pull back. <br /> <br /> Before she could escape, Mitchel pulled her back and held her by the waist. With a cold face, he said in a low voice, "Where do you think you are going?"<br /> <br /> The light flickered again. Out of the blue, Mitchel lifted her up. <br /> <br /> He then headed for the elevator. <br /> <br /> In a daze, Raegan asked softly, "What are you doing?"<br /> <br /> "What does it look like I am doing?" Mitchel remarked. "Taking you to the hospital, of course."<br /> <br /> "No way!" Raegan cried out in surprise and seemed to regain more strength. <br /> <br /> Mitchel might find out about her condition if they went to the hospital.<br /> <br /> Raegan struggled to get out of Mitchel's arms. However, his tight grip made her efforts fruitless. <br /> <br /> "Don't be so stubborn. You are sick, so you must see the doctor," Mitchel said firmly. <br /> <br /> He walked to the elevator with her in his arms. At this moment, Raegan's heart was thumping so hard that it could jump out of her chest. She flailed in protest. <br /> <br /> "Put me down! I don't want to go to the hospital!"<br /> &4& | Late reading | 10850 | https://facebook.com/61554989897813 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714719600 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

"Congratulations! You are going to be a mom."<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Mitchel Dixon pinched her arm. His low voice came the next second. "Come back to earth. What are you thinking about?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel was her husband. They had been married secretly for two years. He was her superior at work, the president of the Dixon Group. <br /> <br /> Everything had happened so fast. She was newly employed in the company when they unexpectedly got married. <br /> <br /> At that time, Mitchel's grandfather fell seriously ill. It was then he proposed a fake marriage just to fulfill his grandfather's dying wish. <br /> <br /> They signed a prenup, agreeing to hide their marriage from the public. Their union could be terminated at any time. <br /> <br /> It was an unconventional thing to do. However, Raegan only considered herself lucky at that time. <br /> <br /> Never in a million years did she think she would ever get married to the man she had a crush on for eight years. She delightfully agreed. <br /> <br /> After their marriage, Mitchel was very busy. He spent most of his time working. <br /> <br /> Raegan wished she could spend more time with him at home. However, she was rest assured because there hadn't been any rumors or scandals about him with women in the past two years. <br /> <br /> Except for his mild indifference, Mitchel was a perfect husband. <br /> <br /> Raegan had mixed feelings as she stared at the medical report. <br /> <br /> In the end, she decided to tell Mitchel this news. <br /> <br /> She also wanted to tell him that she hadn't learned about him for the first time two years ago and that she had been crushing on him for many years before then. <br /> <br /> Just then, Mitchelโs phone rang. He went to the balcony and answered the phone. <br /> <br /> Raegan checked the time and found that it was already midnight. <br /> <br /> She felt a little uneasy. Who would call Mitchel at this hour? <br /> <br /> Mitchel spent a few minutes on the balcony. Thereafter, he returned and changed into formal attire. His handsome face which had a clear outline made him look dignified. <br /> <br /> He was something to see now. <br /> <br /> "Don't wait up for me. Good night," he said finally. <br /> <br /> What? He was on his way out? At this hour? <br /> <br /> Raegan's grip on the report tightened as she stared at him in disappointment. Unconsciously, she withdrew slightly. After thinking for a while, she blurted out, "It's already so late."<br /> <br /> Mitchel's fingers froze on his tie. With a faint smile, he pinched her earlobe and said, "Be good, okay? There's something I have to do. Don't wait up."<br /> <br /> With that, he headed for the door. <br /> <br /> "Mitchel."<br /> <br /> Raegan quickly ran and caught up with him. <br /> <br /> Mitchel turned around and looked at her seriously. <br /> <br /> "What's the matter?"<br /> <br /> There was a tinge of coldness to his voice. An icy cloud hung over them as they stared at each other. <br /> <br /> A little distressed, Raegan asked in a low voice, "I would like to visit my grandma tomorrow. Can you accompany me there?"<br /> <br /> Her grandmother always wanted to see her. As a result, Raegan wanted to take Mitchel there to assure her grandma they were happy. <br /> <br /> "Let's talk about it tomorrow, okay?" Without agreeing or declining, Mitchel left in a hurry. <br /> <br /> Several thoughts were threading Raegan's mind. She couldn't sleep a wink. <br /> <br /> After tossing and turning for a long time, she went to the kitchen and made herself a warm glass of milk. <br /> <br /> A few notifications from some online blogs came into her phone. <br /> <br /> However, she wasn't interested in them. She was about to swipe them away when one of them caught her attention. The familiar name made her click on it. <br /> <br /> The news read, "Famous designer, Lauren Murray was spotted at the airport with her mysterious boyfriend earlier today."<br /> <br /> Lauren was wearing a bucket hat. The man's figure was vague, but the outline of his body was enough to show that he was dashing. <br /> <br /> Raegan zoomed in on the picture. The next second, her heart dropped. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was the man in the picture! <br /> <br /> So, he canceled the afternoon meeting just to go pick up his ex-girlfriend from the airport? <br /> <br /> This realization settled like a boulder in Raegan's gut, rendering her flustered. <br /> <br /> Her hands trembled. Subconsciously, she dialed Mitchel's number. <br /> <br /> The dial tone brought her back to her senses. Just as she was about to hang up, the line connected, and a voice came from the other end. <br /> <br /> "Hello!"<br /> <br /> It was a particularly gentle woman's voice. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a second and then threw the phone away. <br /> <br /> She suddenly felt sick in her stomach. Covering her mouth, she ran into the bathroom and threw up in the toilet bowl. <br /> <br /> The next morning, Raegan went to work on time. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had tried to get her to stop working after they got married. Stubbornly, she insisted on making her own money. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't kick against her decision, but he asked her to work as his assistant, helping him with the daily chores. <br /> <br /> The head assistant, Matteo Jenkins was left to take care of the major affairs Mitchel had. <br /> <br /> Matteo was the only Dixon Group employee who knew about their marriage. <br /> <br /> Since inception, only male assistants were hired for the president's office. Reagan was the first and only female. Her employment broke the protocol. As a result, other workers couldn't help but wonder if she was involved with Mitchel. <br /> <br /> It took a while before they realized that Mitchel never gave Raegan special treatment. Strangely, this made them despise her even more. <br /> <br /> After all, no one would last long in anything while taking advantage of their looks.<br /> <br /> At this time, one of Raegan's colleagues handed her a document and ordered her to take it to Mitchel's office. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't return home last night. Raegan was so worried that she didn't sleep at all. <br /> <br /> All she kept thinking about was the woman who answered his phone when she called. What was her relationship with Mitchel?<br /> <br /> Raegan already knew the answer to that, but she was still in denial. <br /> <br /> It was difficult for her to come to terms with that fact. <br /> <br /> Raegan tried to remain calm now. She reasoned that no matter what happened, she deserved a result that would be rewarding for all the years she spent loving Mitchel. This couldn't be all for nothing, right? <br /> <br /> She pressed the elevator button calmly and went up to the president's office. Before she walked out of the elevator, she smoothed her hair to make sure she looked good. <br /> <br /> She had arrived at the office, only to see that the door was ajar. A man's voice came. She halted instantly. <br /> <br /> "Come on, man! Do you have any feelings for Raegan or not?"<br /> <br /> The voice belonged to Luis Stevens, a childhood friend of Mitchel's. <br /> <br /> "What do you mean exactly?" Mitchel asked in a cold voice. <br /> <br /> "You know exactly what I mean!" Luis clicked his tongue impatiently and added, "I think Raegan is a good girl. Isn't she your type?"<br /> <br /> "Do you want me to hand her over to you?" Mitchel asked carelessly. <br /> <br /> "You know what, forget it!"<br /> <br /> The scornful laughter of Luis sounded particularly harsh in Raegan's ears. <br /> <br /> They were talking about her as if she were an object. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and tightened her grip on the document. <br /> <br /> Soon, Luis's voice was heard again. <br /> <br /> "By the way, I saw the gossip news about Lauren's mysterious boyfriend this morning. That was you, right?"<br /> <br /> "Yes."<br /> <br /> "Well, well, well! That woman still has you wrapped around her little finger. You always want to please her."<br /> <br /> Luis sighed and continued to tease Mitchel. "As the old saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Tell me, did you two..."<br /> <br /> Their conversation was like a thunder exploding over Raegan's head. <br /> <br /> Her face turned pale and her body was as cold as ice. <br /> <br /> The woman was indeed Lauren! <br /> <br /> Absence made the heart grow fonder! <br /> <br /> Every word drove a knife into her heart. <br /> <br /> Several whispering voices filled her head at this time. She suddenly felt light-headed. Her vision became blurry. <br /> <br /> She held the wall and took a step backward. Suddenly, the door was opened from inside. <br /> <br /> "Raegan?"<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 2 One-sided Love<br /> <br /> Luis was the one who opened the door. It appeared he was on his way out. <br /> <br /> Raegan balled her hands, turned to him, and nodded. "Hey, Mr. Stevens!"<br /> <br /> Without waiting for him to respond to her greeting, she walked past him and entered the office with the document. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was seated behind a large luxurious desk. In an expensive suit and matching tie, he looked particularly handsome. <br /> <br /> Raegan noticed it wasn't the same suit he had on when he left home last night. How did he get changed? <br /> <br /> With her eyes lowered, she swallowed that question and said instead, "Mr. Dixon, this is from the Marketing Department. Please sign it."<br /> <br /> Mitchel was expressionless as he signed the document at a glance. <br /> <br /> Raegan walked out the door as soon as he handed the document back to her. Luis was still standing at the threshold. <br /> <br /> It wasn't until she went out of sight that Luis turned to Mitchel and said in a hushed tone, "Do you think she heard us?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel's appealing eyes were expressionless at the moment. Obviously, he wasn't paying attention to what Luis was saying. <br /> <br /> To Mitchel, Raegan had always been docile and never felt jealous of anyone. <br /> <br /> Her strict obedience was all Mitchel demanded from her in exchange for treating her well. <br /> <br /> In the elevator. <br /> <br /> Raegan held her breath just to hold back her tears. Unfortunately, it didn't work. <br /> <br /> She had thought two years would be enough for Mitchel to realize how much she loved him and reciprocate her love. <br /> <br /> Now, it turned out that was just a pipe dream. <br /> <br /> She realized she would always play second fiddle to Lauren, Mitchel's true love. <br /> <br /> Reagan wiped her tears when the elevator halted. Save for her pale face, she looked normal when the doors opened. <br /> <br /> She dragged herself to the break room, intending to make herself a cup of tea. <br /> <br /> Several employees were chatting inside. <br /> <br /> "Guys, have you heard? Lauren Murray is back."<br /> <br /> "And who is that?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, my! You don't know her? Lauren is the heiress of the Murray Group as well as a world-class designer. Most importantly, she's the only girlfriend Mr. Dixon has ever shown off in public. She's his first love!"<br /> <br /> "Why is her return such a big deal? Isn't it rumored that there is something between Mr. Dixon and Raegan?"<br /> <br /> "Raegan? She's nothing to Mr. Dixon. Mr. Dixon never admitted that he was dating her. And that is no surprise to me. After all, look at her. She's not even that beautiful. Yet, she behaves as if she's already Mrs. Dixon. What a fool!"<br /> <br /> Standing at the door, Raegan smiled with self-mockery as she listened to them. It turned out everyone else saw the truth except her. <br /> <br /> The love was one-sided. <br /> <br /> "Ha-ha, have you finally woken up from your wild dream, Raegan?"<br /> <br /> A voice of mockery suddenly came from behind. Raegan turned around to see Tessa Lloyd, Mitchel's cousin, who had always despised her. <br /> <br /> Tessa must have also heard the employees gossiping. <br /> <br /> The last thing Raegan wanted to do now was argue with Tessa in the company. She turned to leave, but Tessa blocked her way. <br /> <br /> With a cup of coffee in her hand, Tessa uttered sarcastically, "Lauren is back now. Do you think Mitchel will still give you any attention?"<br /> <br /> Raegan said nothing to that. <br /> <br /> Seconds later, Tessa continued the ridicule. "Maybe itโs time for you to seek out another man, you pathetic fool."<br /> <br /> Raegan clenched her fists and said coldly, "Ms. Lloyd, if you are interested in that kind of thing, feel free to pursue it yourself."<br /> <br /> "You..."<br /> <br /> Raegan's retort made Tessa's face change. <br /> <br /> The next second, Tessa raised her hand and emptied the cup of coffee on Raegan. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn't think for a second that Tessa would do something so crazy. She held up her arms just to block the liquid from her face. In no time, the coffee drenched her clothes. <br /> <br /> Raegan frowned. "What did you do that for? Are you out of your mind?"<br /> <br /> It was lunch break and many employees were free to watch the drama. Tessa was even more complacent when she saw growing onlookers. <br /> <br /> She put on a mean-girl look as she said, "What makes you so smug every day, huh? Do you seriously think that others don't know you are just an orphan? The nerve of..."<br /> <br /> Tessa was silenced by Raeganโs shove. <br /> <br /> Her jaw dropped to the floor. She had never expected that Raegan, who was so quiet and timid, would shove her. <br /> <br /> Tessa stuttered, "You... You pushed me? How dare you!"<br /> <br /> Raegan eyed her and replied, "Yes, I did! It seems you need to be taught simple politeness."<br /> <br /> Indeed, she lost her parents when she was a child. But that didn't mean she would allow someone to walk over her for it. <br /> <br /> Wrinkles appeared on Tessa's face as she frowned in anger. As Mitchel's cousin, she was used to being fawned over and respected. This was the first time she had been treated like this. <br /> <br /> Tessa charged at Raegan like a raging bull, poised to retaliate. <br /> <br /> This time, Raegan was fully prepared for what was coming. She grabbed Tessa's wrist so that the latter couldn't move another inch. <br /> <br /> Tessa was shorter than Raegan. As a result, she struggled like an octopus that had one of its tentacles stuck in a fishing trap. <br /> <br /> Tessa cursed angrily, "How dare you put your hands on me? Who do you think you are?"<br /> <br /> These harsh words attracted more people to the break room. <br /> <br /> "That's enough!"<br /> <br /> Out of the blue, a baritone came from behind. Mitchel had left his office and ran into this hullabaloo. <br /> <br /> The entire room fell silent. <br /> <br /> "Mitchel?" Tessa's blood ran cold at the sight of Mitchel. She had always been scared of him. Her mother also warned her against provoking him. <br /> <br /> But when she remembered that Raegan humiliated her, she put on a pitiful expression and sobbed. "Mitchel, she bullied me."<br /> <br /> The sunlight from outside fell on Mitchel's handsome face. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt so grieved all of a sudden, and lowered her head to look at her clothes which were soaked with coffee. <br /> <br /> Their gaze met in the air. With a deep frown, Mitchel looked at Raegan and said, "Raegan, have you forgotten the rules of the company?"<br /> <br /> His ruthlessness made Raegan's breathing cease. She couldn't believe her ears. <br /> <br /> No one dared to make a sound at this moment. <br /> <br /> Raegan just stood straight there with her slender figure. <br /> <br /> When she got employed here, Mitchel had told her that the Dixon Group wasn't a place for her to mess around and that he would not tolerate her making any mistakes. <br /> <br /> Raegan could understand why he took this stand. <br /> <br /> However, at this moment, she was desperate to know whether Mitchel had heard those hard words Tessa scolded her or he was just pretending not to have heard because he agreed to those words. <br /> <br /> Was she truly insignificant to him?<br /> <br /> Scared to death by Mitchel's rage, the crowd soon dispersed. A few employees were bold enough to peep from a distance, unwilling to miss the good show. <br /> <br /> Mitchel's cold eyes made Raegan shiver from head to toe. <br /> <br /> Raegan pinched her palm to suppress her emotions as she looked at Tessa. <br /> <br /> "I'm sorry, Ms. Lloyd. As an employee of the Dixon Group, it was wrong of me to have offended you."<br /> <br /> Eyeing Raegan, Tessa raised her chin complacently. "Humph! Don't think you'll be let off the hook just by making a simple apology. I don't buy..."<br /> <br /> "The offence has nothing to do with the company. Personally, I refuse to apologize to you. Now, if you'd excuse me," Raegan chimed in. <br /> <br /> She then walked past Mitchel without sparing him another look. <br /> <br /> "You..."<br /> <br /> Tessa's face turned blue after hearing what Raegan said. <br /> <br /> Never in her years of being alive had she been so humiliated. She was always the bully, not the victim! <br /> <br /> The humiliation was so much that scolding Raegan wouldn't appease her anger. <br /> <br /> Pointing in Raegan's direction, Tessa shouted, "Mitchel, did you hear what that woman just said? She humiliated me, yet she's still so arrogant. Call her back. I have to teach her some manners!"<br /> <br /> Mitchel, staring at Raegan's thin back, had an ambiguous expression at this moment. <br /> <br /> "Enough!" he said coldly, raising his hand. <br /> <br /> As someone who lived and breathed drama and cruelty, Tessa didn't think Mitchel was partial to Raegan just now. She assumed that Mitchel didn't care about Raegan at all. <br /> <br /> Tessa gritted her teeth and said viciously, "Next time, I'll get someone to teach her a lesson."<br /> <br /> "Tessa!" Mitchel's tone and squint made it a reproof. <br /> <br /> Tessa trembled at once. <br /> <br /> With a somber face, Mitchel said, "I'll only say it once. Forget about what happened here today. Leave Raegan alone."<br /> <br /> The aura he exuded made her tongue go dry. All the vicious ideas she had in store against Raegan disappeared in an instant. <br /> <br /> She stammered, "Ok... Okay, got it..."<br /> <br /> Mitchel cast a cold glance at her and spoke to Matteo. "Irrelevant people wouldn't be allowed in here from today onwards."<br /> <br /> Without catching the drift, Tessa flattered Mitchel. "Nice call. This is a top company. Not everyone gains access in here."<br /> <br /> Matteo nodded to Mitchel and then walked over to Tessa. He gestured to the exit. "Ms. Lloyd, this way, please."<br /> <br /> It wasn't until this moment that Tessa realized that she was the irrelevant person Mitchel just mentioned. She tried to speak to him, but Matteo blocked her way. The security guards then escorted her out. <br /> <br /> They showed her no mercy. Her struggle was useless. <br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Raegan got changed when she returned to her office. <br /> <br /> Her heart was filled with sadness as she thought of how Mitchel looked at her minutes ago. <br /> <br /> Closing hour soon rolled by. <br /> <br /> Raegan took her bag and headed for the exit. However, Matteo stopped her. <br /> <br /> He said, "Mr. Dixon has something urgent to deal with, so he asked me to drive you home."<br /> <br /> Raegan declined the ride without thinking twice. <br /> <br /> She was blind before, but now she could see through the situation. <br /> <br /> In Mitchel's eyes, she was just a nobody. <br /> <br /> How could Mitchel agree to accompany her to visit her grandmother when he didn't even care about her? <br /> <br /> Upon arriving at the hospital, Raegan saw that the nurse was about to feed her grandmother dinner. Raegan took the job over and did it by herself. <br /> <br /> All her life, her grandmother had been living in the countryside, enjoying a quiet life. Everything changed last month when her routine medical checkup showed that she was in need of medical care. Raegan insisted on bringing her to the city for better treatment. <br /> <br /> Her grandmother wasn't aware of her marriage to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> Raegan had planned to surprise her today. But as it turned out, that was no longer necessary. <br /> <br /> Raegan waited for her grandmother to fall asleep before she left. She walked out of the hospital and waited for a taxi. <br /> <br /> In the distance, a black luxury car pulled into the entrance of the hospital. <br /> <br /> Raegan's eyes lit up when she saw it. She recognized that car as Mitchel's. <br /> <br /> Did he come to pick her up? <br /> <br /> At this moment, she forgot all the pain she had been feeling. <br /> <br /> Were her thoughts about him all wrong? Did he care for her, contrary to the gossip? <br /> <br /> The door of the driver's side opened and Mitchel got out. <br /> <br /> Raegan started walking toward him with her heart brimming with joy. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, she stopped dead in her tracks. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had just walked over to the other side and carried a woman out of the car. <br /> <br /> Worry and compassion were written all over his handsome face. <br /> <br /> This wiped the smile on Raegan's face. Her heart sank. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 3 Let's Divorce<br /> <br /> Mitchel's tall and straight figure got closer and closer to Raegan. And then, without saying a word, he strode past Raegan. <br /> <br /> It was hard to tell if Mitchel saw Raegan or just ignored her. <br /> <br /> Regardless, Raegan noticed that the woman in his arms was the same one who had been photographed with him yesterday. <br /> <br /> She was Lauren. <br /> <br /> Raegan's shoes felt like they were made of lead as she walked away. <br /> <br /> She lost all awareness of her surroundings. She got into a taxi absentmindedly. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, the driver uttered, "Ma'am, where to?"<br /> <br /> Raegan was stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> She didn't want to go back to Serenity Villas. It was only a matter of time before that place stopped being her home. <br /> <br /> After a while, she replied, "Please take me to Crystal Bay."<br /> <br /> She had purchased an apartment at Crystal Bay after getting married to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> At the time, she had hopes of bringing her grandmother to the city, so she bought the apartment on mortgage. It wasn't that big, but it had more than enough space for two people. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't understand why she wanted to buy an apartment. He offered to give her a bigger one, but she declined. <br /> <br /> Looking back now, she realized that buying that apartment was the only wise decision she had ever made in the last two years. <br /> <br /> When she arrived at the apartment complex, Raegan sat in the park alone, trying to cool herself down. <br /> <br /> The memories of the past two years were bittersweet. <br /> <br /> Two years had passed in the blink of an eye even though it was more than seven hundred days and nights. <br /> <br /> Love could move mountains, they said. <br /> <br /> Yet, her love didn't move that stone of a man. She finally realized what a fool she had been. She had been making herself a laughingstock in front of everyone. <br /> <br /> It was already late in the night before Raegan finally decided to go into her apartment. <br /> <br /> As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Mitchel standing in front of the door. <br /> <br /> His sleeves were rolled up casually, and the top buttons of his shirt were undone, which revealed his long neck and part of his collarbone. He was leaning on the wall by the door, his handsome face straight. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a moment. <br /> <br /> Why was he here? Didn't she see him at the hospital with Lauren? What brought him here? <br /> <br /> Their eyes met. With his coat draped over his arm and one of his hands in his pocket, Mitchel squinted at her. <br /> <br /> "Why didn't you answer the phone?" he asked, sounding a little grumpy like someone who hadn't slept in a long time. <br /> <br /> Raegan took out her phone and saw she had accidentally put it on DND. <br /> <br /> There were five missed calls from Mitchel. <br /> <br /> This marked the first time in their two-year marriage. <br /> <br /> Mitchel blew up her phone because he couldn't find her? Surprising! <br /> <br /> Before today, she would have been overjoyed by this. People would've thought she won the lottery. <br /> <br /> But now, she just threw her phone back into her bag, folded her arms, and said in a hoarse voice, "I didn't hear it ring."<br /> <br /> Mitchel raised his hand to check the time on the watch, and said impatiently, "I've been looking for you for two hours."<br /> <br /> After arranging everything for Lauren, he returned home to find an empty house. He looked for Raegan everywhere. When he couldn't find her, he asked Matteo to check the surveillance footage of all the roads that led away from the company. <br /> <br /> He later found out that Raegan went to Crystal Bay without telling him. <br /> <br /> "Next time, tell me when you are coming here, okay? Let's go home now." After that, Mitchel walked toward the elevator without sparing her another glance. <br /> <br /> He meant to go back to Serenity Villas. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn't move an inch. She just stared at his broad back and pondered reluctantly. <br /> <br /> Would they have a future? <br /> <br /> Mitchell turned around, only to see that Raegan hadn't taken a single step. He frowned and asked, "Can't you walk? Do you want me to carry you instead?"<br /> <br /> The light in the corridor illuminated his face, making his side profile almost impeccable. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and said, "Let's divorce."<br /> <br /> "What do you mean?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel's voice was cold, and his handsome face changed immediately. <br /> <br /> "I want to move into my own place. After all, we will be strangers soon."<br /> <br /> Raegan forced a smile, but her heart was aching as if someone was tearing it apart bit by bit. <br /> <br /> "We will be strangers?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel smiled coldly. "Raegan, what do you think our relationship is now?"<br /> <br /> His questioning left Raegan stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had made it very clear to her from the very beginning. This facade of their marriage had happened by mutual agreement. There was no love. In the eyes of others, they were nothing more than just a superior and a subordinate. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was quite the catch in Ardlens. Many young ladies longed for his love and were even willing to throw themselves at him. <br /> <br /> His question just now reminded her of that fact. Was he afraid that she wouldn't let him go that easily? If that was the case, he couldn't be more wrong... <br /> <br /> After biting her lower lip to conceal her bitterness, Raegan said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Dixon. I was giving it too much thought. Anyway, please leave me alone from now on. You don't have to come here again."<br /> <br /> After saying that, Raegan couldn't help but burst into tears. <br /> <br /> How could she not be sad when she was cutting ties with the man she had loved for a decade? It was such a long time. <br /> <br /> Regardless of how difficult it was, she knew it was time to let go. <br /> <br /> It was high time she stopped being a fool. <br /> <br /> Strangely, the light in the corridor began flickering. <br /> <br /> The deathly stare Mitchel was giving Raegan right now made the atmosphere seem like the moment before an attack in a horror movie. <br /> <br /> Although he understood that Raegan sometimes could throw a tantrum, he felt that she had just crossed the line now. <br /> <br /> His eyes shone like blazing torches at this moment. But when he saw the tears in her eyes, the rage inside him extinguished in an instant. He said in a low voice, "If this is about what happened between you and Tessa, I..."<br /> <br /> "No, this isn't about her. Mr. Dixon, please leave now."<br /> <br /> A lot of things happened between them. And the incident with Tessa didn't come close to any. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt exhausted. She passed by Mitchel and was about to open the door. <br /> <br /> Yet, Mitchel was displeased with her stubbornness. <br /> <br /> He loosened his tie irritably. He then took a step forward and grabbed her wrist. <br /> <br /> "Stop this, will you?"<br /> <br /> A second later, he put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his arms. <br /> <br /> He instantly realized that she was burning up like someone who had been set on fire. <br /> <br /> "You have a fever?"<br /> <br /> Raegan felt dizzy. She rested her head on his chest weakly. <br /> <br /> This made the whole situation complicated. <br /> <br /> Reagan was slow to catch that. When she finally realized that her body was too close to his, she put her hands against his chest and tried to pull back. <br /> <br /> Before she could escape, Mitchel pulled her back and held her by the waist. With a cold face, he said in a low voice, "Where do you think you are going?"<br /> <br /> The light flickered again. Out of the blue, Mitchel lifted her up. <br /> <br /> He then headed for the elevator. <br /> <br /> In a daze, Raegan asked softly, "What are you doing?"<br /> <br /> "What does it look like I am doing?" Mitchel remarked. "Taking you to the hospital, of course."<br /> <br /> "No way!" Raegan cried out in surprise and seemed to regain more strength. <br /> <br /> Mitchel might find out about her condition if they went to the hospital.<br /> <br /> Raegan struggled to get out of Mitchel's arms. However, his tight grip made her efforts fruitless. <br /> <br /> "Don't be so stubborn. You are sick, so you must see the doctor," Mitchel said firmly. <br /> <br /> He walked to the elevator with her in his arms. At this moment, Raegan's heart was thumping so hard that it could jump out of her chest. She flailed in protest. <br /> <br /> "Put me down! I don't want to go to the hospital!"<br /> &5& | Romantic Novel Town | 11926 | https://facebook.com/100083419995460 | 0 | LEARN_MORE | 1714719600 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
