It was a jolly evening for the moon goddess. It would be the full moon at night and she was going to host a celebration like she always did to have all the gods and goddesses in her abode; wining and dining with her as chatters and laughter would float across the table and above them all while they ate and drank. Her right hand was glued to her side throughout the day time, running to and fro to make everything perfect as she gave instructions and preferences on every design and delicacy that was to be served, especially the wine… that was her favorite. She loved drinking but it wasn't a habit, she just did it more out of loving the taste of her favorite wine and how it slushed down her throat whenever she drank it… that was how she always defended herself whenever her fellow gods accused her of drinking way too much.She got to her chambers, her right hand behind her as she walked straight to the soft chair that was in the right hand corner and plopped into it with a sigh. She was ext
Thirty years later…The alarm beeped continuously and Dominic kept on tossing and turning in his bed until he finally sat up with droopy eyes and turned the still beeping alarm off. After a long stretch and yawn, he took the curtain control remote and pressed it towards the curtains and watched them slide apart slowly to reveal the early morning sun that was still dawning.He came down from his bed and walked to his bathroom, took his toothbrush and watched himself in the mirror as he brushed his teeth and he decided that he needed a haircut before leaving for work that day. He finished brushing his teeth and walked out of the bathroom to get dressed in his joggers and vest, ready for his daily morning jogging.At the door he met his butler, Ferdinand. A human man in his mid forties with a smile on his face as he handed a towel over to him to clean his sweat while jogging and Dominic smiled back at him "morning Ferdinand" he said as he warmed up for his jogging and Ferdinand bowed "
She was late and she knew she had to hurry up so she wouldn't miss her bus. With a quick brush of her red hair, Samantha applied a little gloss on her lips and smacked it softly before she grabbed her handbag and did a once over on herself in front of her mirror before hurrying out of her room.Her husband Jace was in the kitchen, already making toast for breakfast and a plate was already set on the mini dining which she was sure was for her. "Good morning babe" Jace said to her from the kitchen counter where he was spreading butter on a slice of bread before he turned to the coffee machine to take the cup of coffee he just made. Samantha smiled and dropped her bag on the couch in the living room before she skipped over to him in the kitchen and planted a kiss on his cheek "good morning love" she said cheerfully as he dropped five cubes of sugar and poured a substantial amount of cream into the cup of coffee and mixed."I know it's your birthday Sam, it's the reason why you're so e
Alpha Dominic woke up immediately his alarm went off and turned it off then came down from his bed after opening his curtains with his remote. He had a lot of work to do at the office the day so he didn't have the luxury of sleeping in for any more minutes when he knew what was waiting for him. He headed for the bathroom and brushed his teeth then wore a vest and sweatpants before heading downstairs to his gym. He was going to skip jogging for the day because he had to hurry up and go to work earlier than usual so he'd start with all the pending approvals waiting for him on his desk.He took a towel this time before leaving his room and once he got down, he saw Ferdinand with a towel at the end of the stairs. Dominic smiled at his butler victoriously as he waved his towel in the air and Ferdinand gave a dimpled smile."ah, I see you bested me today" he said and Dominic gave a slight nod. "you know I love to be good at everything I do and one of the I things must be good at is of c
Jace placed his hand on her body and she could feel him try to move closer to her on the bed. She groaned with a smug smile on her face and opened her eyes then took his hand off her gently. It was morning already. With a yawn, she sat up and took her phone from the bedside drawer, it was just 5:30am. It was still way early so she had all the time that she needed to get ready for work. She was going to make a hearty breakfast for both of them before she'd leave for work."Good morning baby" Jace said with a sleepy voice as he stretched and yawned too before he sat up beside her then kissed her on the cheek as he pulled her to sit on his lap. She smiled as she shifted to sit well then felt his morning erection and their eyes met with heat in them. They just had a wild night but it seemed he wanted more. Too bad she had work to get too… It was going to be another time. He kissed her on the neck and that single act sent shivers down her skin as her lower belly tingled from the feel of hi
Samantha just stood there and watched in complete shock. She couldn't move, her heart and thoughts were racing, thinking of what to do but she couldn't come up with anything yet. She just stood there like a ghost, watching her husband shred her soul to pieces. An idea and with shaky hands, she took her phone out of her bag and made sure she took a short video of them then she took a picture and the shutter sound suddenly made them aware of her presence in the living room.They froze as they saw her and the woman swiftly got off Jace's legs then wore her shirt while she stared at Samantha with a scared and horrified look on her face. Jace was still struggling with his briefs as Samantha took a good look at the woman's face and saw she was the new neighbor that just moved in next door a month ago, exactly when Jace changed until she threatened to divorce him. With that, she turned and left for their room but heard the bang of their door. She was sure it was the neighbor that rushed out.
The little ray of light that managed to come into the room shone on Samantha's face and she opened her eyes, facing the window, it was a Saturday. She reached for her alarm and checked the time, it was already 8am. She sat up in bed immediately as she wondered why it didn't ring and woke her up. A sharp pain shot through her head from her fast as she sat up, and she winced as she cupped her head in her hand in pain. Then she remembered all that happened the previous night. She felt deflated as she sighed and slowly came down from the bed to search for Olivia in the apartment.She opened the door and the scent of sweet corn soup and fried leeks greeted her and she instantly knew Olivia was cooking hangover soup for her. She walked to the kitchen and saw Olivia at the cooker stirring the soup in the pot "hey.. I knew you'd wake up with a hangover so I made this for you" Olivia told her and Samantha groaned as she sat on a chair at the dining table "you shouldn't have, I'm not eating it a
Samantha was still smiling to herself as she got off the elevator and headed towards her apartment. She remembered Olivia's words to her as she helped her stop a cab "I'm glad you're finally happy. Even though you sulked for only a day, I was beginning to miss the cheerful you" she said and hugged her before letting her get into the cab and they blew kisses at each other while the car drove away.She smiled wider on remembering it and she knew that last night would be among her fond memories of her and Olivia. She went Into the apartment and pulled off her shoes while humming a song to herself as she headed for the kitchen to quench her thirst without turning on the light.Suddenly, the lights came on and she froze. Her eyes went wide, her whole body was at alert but she was scared to turn around and see who had broken into the house. "So you did that as payback right?" Jace's voice cut through the deafening silence and fear loomed over her like a dark cloud. He sounded drunk, really d
Samantha was still pointing the gun, even though she hoped that no one was actually going to attack."Miss, you shouldn't use a gun" the priest started and Samantha glared at him, "do not tell me what and what not to do priest. You're not the one that's about to lose your mate just because you're human" she yelled at him and the priest went silent as pity settled in his eyes for Samantha."Samantha, you shouldn't do this. You could get hurt" Dominic told her but she shook her head "no Dominic, I'm doing this for us. To get us out of this mess before it's too late. This is the only way to make us work" she replied and Dominic didn't know what else to say again. She turned to face the crowd again "now. Everyone of you should leave this hall, there would be no wedding today" she said and watched as Audrey smiled at her before she stood up and headed to the back of the hall, James and Williams following her too after they also smiled at her. She suddenly felt relieved… until she heard Mo
Samantha stared at the ceiling deep in thoughts. She was still in bed and Dominic had already left for work very early in the morning just so he could avoid Monse so it was just her and her mind working at its fastest. She was still trying to figure out a way to stop the wedding on her own because she couldn't bear the thought of being away from him for months.While Dominic was sleeping at night, she couldn't. She knew the last resort he had was to marry Monse and then divorce her aftet a while but it had a really low chance of actually working out. He couldn't force Monse to sign the papers or make her walk away after a few months of being together. What if Joe killed her off before then? Or Monse manipulated him with those magic portions or whatever and then he forgot her? She couldn't let that happen to them. She needed Dominic just as much as he needed her. So she got an idea, at night but she didn't tell Dominic because she knew he wouldn't let her do it since her life would be
Dominic drove into his father's house and parked his car. He turned off the car and stepped down then locked the doors and turned to look at the building. It had been years since he was there last. He remembered the years he spent growing up inside the house and he just wanted to erase the memories; arguments, crying, screaming and disagreements between him and his father once he was grown because the ego swollen man never tried to understand him or ever wanted to bend to make things work between them. So he chose a college that was more than halfway across the world to get away from him then he got his own house immediately he was appointed the Alpha and swore to never step foot in the house again.Fast forward to the present and here he was, going into the same house to go and persuade his father again to call off the wedding between him and Monse. He hoped they'll work it out this time.*****************So far with the conversation they were having, his father wasn't helping… he t
Dominic pulled Samantha into the laundry room and closed the door behind them as he still held onto her hand. Then he turned to her with a confused look on his face "Ferdinand told me you went out with Monse hours ago" he said and Samantha rolled her eyes ``yeah the nerve of that woman. She made me follow her to get a wedding dress for herself" she replied and Dominic chuckled before he found a spot to sit then he cleared the space next to him, putting the clothes into the hamper beside him before he turned to her and patted the spot for her to sit. She sat down beside him and turned to look at him just as he was looking at her; with so much love in his eyes. Samantha saw it, she could read him easily and it warmed her heart to know that he still loved her dearly, just like she did."Anything yet? Is any plan ready?" She asked and he looked down for a while before he met her eyes again, his lips in a thin line as he shook his head and she sighed. "We still have three days to go… toda
Samantha breathed hard as she tried to calm herself down so she won't do anything rash like going to yell in Monse's face that Dominic was hers and she should stop messing with him but she couldn't, not yet. Her life was at risk because of stupid Joe so she couldn't let her know she was the unknown mate yet… except she wanted to die in Monse's hands. Watching Monse flirt with Dominic really got to her and she couldn't help the jealousy that was stemming inside her as she fought the urge to pull Monse along with her chair away from Dominic then she would push her across the living room and watch her fall from the chair when it tips, she would hope she hits her head against the wall when she falls so she'll have an inury and will have to wear a bandage.She finally calmed herself with the help of that wicked thought down and reached for her phone that was under her pillow to call Olivia and speak to her like she always did when she was distressed. She was like a pill that always calmed
"You can't possibly expect me to marry that woman you brought into my house father" Dominic said through griited teeth as he stared daggers at his father who still smiling at him. He father came closer and placed his hands on his shoulders to calm him down but Dominic let go immediately and walked back, just the presence of his father was pissing him off so he didn't want him touching him. "Now now Dominic, I did it for your own good. You should he happy I brought the perfect woman for you" his father said sand Dominic just stared at him. He wondered why he had to have a father like him and wished it was his father that died instead of his mother; he knew he shouldn't be having such thoughts but he was sure life would be more easier for him because he didn't have any memorable memory of he and his father all through their lives, only thing his father was good at was imposing things on him and it always pissed him off because he cared about what he wanted.He scoffed at his father as h
Samantha still stood at the entrance of the house, unable to move or make any sound as Dominic's father's words rang on and on in her head. Dominic was betrothed? When did that happen? And why didn't he tell her? Or did he not know about it? All these thoughts passed through her mind like a train and she soon began to feel her head spin as she stared at the woman holding her hand out to Dominic for a handshake as she gave him a thirsty smile while introducing herself."So like I discussed with you weeks ago, I found the perfect match for you and she liked you immediately she saw your pictures, it was a match made in heaven… oh and your wedding holds in the next four days" his father added nonchalantly to the previous groundbreaking news he just shared and Samantha felt her already crushed heart turn to dust. It hurt as hell, watching his father introduce another woman that was that beautiful to him in front of her.Dominic looked at the woman called Monse before he turned to look at S
Samantha couldn't stop herself from smiling as she looked through the clothes Dominic got for her and sent through a delivery guy for her to make a choice when dressing up for the movie date. She didn't have any clothes at his place anymore ever since the whole Jace and werewolf incident when she packed up completely and left so Dominic went shopping for her with the help of his secretary too of course.She had just gotten off a call with Olivia when she told her that she was finally back with Dominic and how he came in and saved her from Joe like a knight in shiny armor and Olivia kept on squealing over the phone for almost a minute. "You would not believe how happy I am that you're back with Dominic cause fuck girl, I was ready to drag you off to his place if you spent another week not speaking to him. Who cares if he's a werewolf? He's hot and he loves you" she said and Samantha laughed "well I'm glad, I didn't give you the chance to drag me to him then" "I still can't believe th
The door to the boardroom opened and Joe rushed inside as he held his stomach in pain, from the injuries he got while fighting with Dominic the previous night. He had just gotten to his pack and he knew the first thing he had to do was report to Alpha Felix before even cleaning himself up."Was about damn time you arrived" Monse snickered and pushed her hair back before glaring at him but he just ignored her and turned to her father. She scoffed while her father, Alpha Felix questioned him "how did the mission go? Did you get any good pictures of the both of you to send to Dominic?" He asked and Joe bowed his head in shame, while figuring out the best way to tell him that the mission was a fail without infuriating him but there was no way, Alpha Felix was still going to get mad no matter how he said it; he decided to just let it out and take whatever he was going to have coming for him."I'm sorry Alpha, the mission didn't work as we planned" he said and Alpha Felix brows shot up "wha
