Chapter: Intense Accusations ~Marcus Pov~ I looked at Alina in shock after hearing what she said from the translator. I looked at her cold face and I found her unfamiliar. Is this the same Alina I know? The one who had loved me so much and would do anything to make me happy, even at the expense of her health. I had entered this conference first as my Alpha had said he wanted to get to somewhere important before coming but who knew when I got here I would meet someone I had thought was dead and I had even forgotten her. I couldn't recognize her at first and I even admired her seeing how beautiful she was, she had shone brightly and differently amid the women here and I had even forgotten where I was just looking at her beauty, but that was until she came closer and I saw she looked so familiar.I had thought I was dreaming of maybe I was tired but when I heard her name being said by Alpha Kennedy, I had gone into shock. But that was short-lived, as anger filled my eyes just looking at the way she shone brightl

Chapter: A Slap on the Face ~Alina POV~I had felt tension between Kennedy and this new person—Alpha Lumba. I looked at them curiously and I could detect from their words that they weren’t friends from the way they spoke even when they tried to hide it, it was still obvious that they were enemies or should I say hidden rivals.I looked at how tense Kennedy became when Alpha Lumba stretched his hand to shake mine and I couldn’t help but smile at the disdain on Kennedy’s face when he interceded and shook Alpha Lumba’s hand. But then I suddenly felt a strange gaze looking at me and though I had felt it for some time it’s was it as strong as now, so I had thought it was just some people checking me out but now it was different and I could feel the malice and also shock from the person, so I turned and looked around the hall trying to trace the gaze and that was when I saw him—Marcus, My ex Mate!He stood in a corner of the hall with his eyes staring shockingly at me, and when he seemed to confirm I was the one, I

Chapter: Enjoy While You Can!
~Kennedy's Pov ~The temperature in the room went low immediately after she said that word, I glared at her with coldness and anger as I looked at her hand which was still stretched in front of Alina.“Shut up!” I said with command and turned to look at Alina immediately. I felt my heart beating so fast when I saw her maintain her smile, though it was a different case in her heart as I could feel her panic, I could feel how confused she was. I clenched my fist and glared at Delilah as I felt so angry as she was the one that put Alina in this situation, then I saw Alina take her hand and shake it politely.My eyes widened in shock but I tried to hide it. “Alina…”I communicated through the mind link but noticed she had blocked me out. Then I saw her turn to me and stretch out her other hand for me to hold which I held immediately, then she leaned closer to me and rested her body on mine. I couldn't stop my lopsided smile as I could feel the room go silent at her action. She had kille

Chapter: Kennedy's Girlfriend
Author's Note:I am So sorry for the mistake. So so sorry 🙏 This is the real Chapter. The last chapter (68) will be deleted soon. ~Alina Pov~I held Kennedy's clothes tightly in the hidden place. My hands were sweaty and I just had to grab something and the best option was him.I held his cloth tightly as we walked but then he held my hand and removed his cloth from my hand before drawing me closer to his side then made me hold his arm which drew me very close to him.We got to the door of the big hall where the conference was taking place and I took a deep breath. I felt pretty nervous about being introduced. I kept hoping not to embarrass Kenedy as I knew that was the little thing I could do for me.I strengthened my shoulder and looked forward elegantly then walked arm to arm with Kennedy who was trying to walk at my pace.The hall fell silent and everyone's eyes focused on us immediately after we entered. My heart almost dropped when I felt their gaze on me but then I felt Kenne

Chapter: The Risk
~Merina Pov~I looked at him sharply as I asked then I watched his expression to see if he did but he remained indifferent, making me irritated. “What? I can't?” He asked as he raised his eyebrow and looked at me challengingly.I clenched my fist to my side and my heart which had felt warm suddenly grew cold. I hate that everyone doesn’t think about my privacy, they intrude like I am worth nothing. My eyes went red and I swallowed hard then looked at him coldly and uttered, “Huh…” Then move to leave without waiting for him to give any response. Then I felt my hand being held and the way he drew me back to his side, and then hugged my waist, “Why are you angry? Are you angry I know about him?” He asked with a frown on his face which made me glare at him.“I am angry because you all go around checking into people's lives without permission! You all don't care if I want that at all, and I hate that!” I yelled back and then pushed him away but he was too strong for me to push so I just

Chapter: My Mate, My Alpha
~Alina Pov ~The maids were busy running here and there as they tried to dress me up for today's conference. I looked at myself in the mirror and I couldn't help but be wowed by my beauty.They tried not to make my features too soft but more on the dignified side as they had discussed. I couldn't stop the smile plastered on my face remembering their discussion on how they needed to doll me up to look Intimidating so no one would dare look down on me which I found very funny.I touched my fingers as I remembered that night Kennedy had poured out his feelings to me. Even if he tried so hard to show he was okay later, I knew clearly that he wasn't, but I just didn't say anything and I never mentioned it.This pack conference is something I am anticipating as I will be meeting some long-time—friends.My eyes went cold as I balled my fist trying to reign in my anger and it worked. “I am surprised your body is still white even when you train every day. You have such beautiful skin, Lady Al

Chapter: Don't Underestimate Me ~Adams POV~I froze. That tiny voice…Merina. I knew it was her. Panic and nervousness twisted in my gut. Had she heard our conversation? I stood up slowly and looked at her at the entrance of the door. She was standing there, looking dazed, like she was still half-asleep. Maybe even sleepwalking. Relief washed over me. She was adorable, her eyes half-closed, her hair a mess. My heart softened."Phew!" I breathed a sigh of relief.I was glad she didn't hear us, or it would have been a very bad one.Merina is very fragile, and she doesn't need to know such bad news, or she wouldn't take it lightly. She had been beating herself up the whole time about how she was sick and near death and it was only because of my intervention that she had been able to control her resolve.I walked over to her and gently pulled her into a hug. Then I scooped her up in my arms and carried her to the couch in my office. She snuggled into my lap, resting her head on my chest, and then she fell asleep. My he

Chapter: Signs of Depression ~Adams Pov~I hit the phone on the table with a loud thud, making Merina jump. I rubbed my face, feeling a headache coming on. My mom was the one on the phone. My secretary announced to me that she was waiting for me downstairs and needed to see me. Of all days, she had to choose today to visit. I didn't want her to meet Merina. My family…they were a bit…judgemental. I knew my mom would make a fuss, and I wasn't going to let her upset Merina.Merina's voice startled me. "Is everything alright?" she asked, her eyes filled with concern."No," I lied, "It's nothing. Just have your rest." I persuaded her."You don't look alright," she insisted. "Are you tired?" She asked again looking nervous and worried. But then I scoffed, "I'm fine and better but you need to have your rest."She smiled softly, and I had to resist the urge to pull her into my arms. She mouthed, looking shy, "You look tired too."I smiled gently, "Yeah, I will be fine but you need your own rest." I insisted. She shook

Chapter: Father's Call ~Merina Pov~I was shocked when I heard him tell the driver to take us to his office. "But…but…," I protested weakly, "I can't go to your office."He looked at me, with a stern expression on his face. "You're coming with me," he said firmly."But…" I tried to argue, but he cut me off."Don't even think about it, you're coming with me and that's final." He said with a voice that allowed no excuse."No, you can't just force me to go with you against my will. That's not how it's done." I insisted but he clicked his tongue loudly."Who said I wouldn't? You're under my control and I can do whatever I want. So, my decision is final. And there's nothing you'll say that'll change my mind." He bragged proudly.I slumped my shoulders in defeat, squinting my eyes sadly, "I don't agree with this." I added curtly."Tell him to stop the car and see if he would." He said arrogantly.I knew better than to argue with him. I knew the driver wouldn't dare disobey him. I just huffed in annoyance and turn

Chapter: Morning Pleasures (18+) ~Merina's POV ~I had a mild headache upon waking, but it wasn't anything to worry about. I awoke to the feeling of a hand gripping my waist. I was startled and jumped. I recalled all that happened between us the previous night. My face flushed. I was shocked to see that I'd shared my most vulnerable thoughts with him. This was something I didn't want to share with anyone or anybody. It showed my weakness, and just like that, I had let my guard down and made him see me as a weak and vulnerable person.I was always quiet and bottled up about my feelings, nobody knew, and I never shared it with anyone, but after sharing it with Adams, I felt lightweight for the first time in a long while. It was my first time sharing something as delicate as that with anyone.I traced his jawline and his cheek, joined with my hands softly and slowly, carefully so that I wouldn't wake him up.His eyes have bags underneath and I could tell from the way his face was curved up in tiredness that he was tire

Chapter: Her Pain, His Confession ~Adams pov~I had been working up late when I heard the loud groan that came out from Marina's room. At first, I had thought it was nothing, but then the groans turned out to be shrill cries, and it was persistent."What the hell has happened? Was Merina okay?" I thought as I immediately raced to her room to see and know what was wrong.I knocked, but her increased cries rigged at my heart, and I barged in only to see her whimpering with pillows covering her ears, which made my heart go into panic.I looked at the window and saw that it was open, so I quickly closed it and then rushed to her side."Merina? Are you okay?" I asked, my voice trembling.She didn't respond, and instead, she continued to whimper, her body shaking uncontrollably. I tried to comfort her, patting her back, but none of this was helping; instead, her body was burning hot, and she was shivering violently. This was definitely not a cold; her body was in severe pain, and it looked like it was on fire.I grew frustr

Chapter: My Woman! ~Merina Pov~I felt uneasy the moment I walked in. I’d never been anywhere so luxurious. It felt…wrong, somehow. But when Adam took my hand, I felt calm and less nervous, and I tried to control my panting heartbeat. I hated to admit it, but being with him brought me a kind of peace that I didn't understand.We moved further into the restaurant, I think we moved away from the main room and inside the private space that looked like it had been organized for us.Then I saw his friends. My uneasiness came back as his three friends stared at us while we went to the restaurant. I immediately started regretting my decision to have followed him here in the first place.But Adam brought me to them and calmly introduced me to all of them. They seemed nice and welcomed me warmly, but I still couldn't relax. Probably because it was my first time being to such an important place and occasion and worst of all sitting down and being surrounded by not just strangers but rich men. The aura around th
