*****Julia's POV***Leaving the grand mansion behind, I sank into the comfort of my car seat, shutting my eyes tightly as I inhaled a deep breath. Goodness! This was far more challenging than I had anticipated. It was excruciatingly difficult, more than I could have ever imagined.Why? Why now?! Why did she have to appear at this very moment? Seeing her only intensified my desire to compete. I mean, I should be willing to give up. There are countless reasons why I should feel inclined to surrender. Yet, there's an indescribable familiarity about her that eludes me. What is it about Ava? Could it be jealousy creeping in? There's something captivating about her eyes, as if I've encountered them somewhere before, but the memory eludes me.I desperately need to delve deep into my thoughts. Luna's presence raises too many suspicions for my liking. And what about her excuse for her absence? A honeymoon? Seriously? It's the most feeble lie ever conceived. I must uncover the truth she's conce
*****Tihana's POV****"Luna, you sent for me,” Anna, one of the omegas who attended to me, said as she walked into the room.”“Anna, what is this rumor about the Alpha and Miss Julia? Why is everyone talking about them?”“Luna, to be honest, I don't know how to explain this.”“You need to tell me everything you know, and do not lie to me. I want nothing but the truth.”“I will never lie to you, Luna, that I promise you.”“That's good to hear. So, let's hear what you have to say about this.”“Well, the thing is, ever since your disappearance,”I creased my brow instantly at the word Anna used. When she noticed my expression, she suddenly went wide. “Please, pardon me, Luna. I mean to say, ever since you left the pack, miss Julia has been a regular visitor. Though, we have no idea what she discusses with the Alpha behind closed doors. There was once, Alpha Theo and beta Adam had a huge fight. This happened more than once, though.”“What? What was this fight all about?” I asked curiousl
*****Alpha Theo's POV*****Ever since we left the meeting hall together, I noticed how quiet Tihana became. I tried reading her mind at this moment, but I was taken aback when I noticed that I couldn't reach out to her. This was strange and new. I'm uncertain if I actually understand why I was unable to read her mind. How was that even possible? Though her uncle was my father's beta, my dad told me she's an omega. There's no way she could have blocked her mind from being read by me. What's going on? I watched her go into the bathroom. After a while, I noticed the shower was turned on. At this moment, I was supposed to go in and take a shower, but then, I needed to be certain I understood the mood of my mate. I wouldn't want to do anything to upset her at this moment. I rather waited patiently for her to get done. When she came out with the shower robe on, and a towel wrapped around her hair, I couldn't help but feel hard. I want her, but can I have her at this moment?“Love, about
*****Adam's POV****“Mr. Adam, tell me you don't want to take me home?”I raised my head up at the beauty in front of me and smiled. “You look beautiful indeed.” She smiled and arranged her hair. “Well, since you find me pretty, why don't you take me home? I promise I'll be a good girl.”“Sure you will be a good girl. But I already have someone I like dearly!”“Huh? Someone you like? I doubt that.”The last said, shaking her head while staring at me with doubt filled eyes. “Why don't you believe me?”“If you really had a woman you like, she would like you too. And if that's the case, I'm sure she wouldn't let you be out here drinking almost every night. Unless, it is a one-sided love on your part.”I raised my brow, at last instantly. “One sided love, you say? How much do you know about love? Listen, I was the first, but I was overthrown! So, it's not a one-sided love as you think.”“Tsk, tsk, tsk. It beats me to see a handsome young man like you, languishing from Heartbreak. Why
*****Adam's POV****The fact that I couldn't answer Chris's question, made me understand that I've actually done wrong. The reason I had been avoiding going home wasn't just because I didn't know how to face Tihana, but it was also because I wanted to use this medium to understand where I've gone wrong. I didn't realize my mistake until Chris brought up this question. Indeed, what would I have done if both packs decided to fight over a misunderstanding? Would I be able to live with myself if my pack somehow could not survive or if the pack members were to get hurt, especially my dad and brothers? I'm sure I wouldn't be able to take it. This was truly wrong. I could have thought of another way to go about this case, and not the one I've gone through. I was restless and couldn't get a wink of sleep even though it was late at night. My dad must be terribly disappointed in me. But still, that doesn't change my feelings for Tihana. I doubt it ever will. Just then, I heard my phone buzz
*****Tihana's POV*****I couldn't contain just how happy I was knowing Adam and Theo were finally on talking terms. Indeed, he didn't lie to me when he told me he was going to reconcile with Theo. “Love?” “Yes,” Theo replied as we walked outside the pack. “So happy.”“Really? What's the good news?” Theo asked with a raised brow. “I'm happy at the fact that you are now okay with Adam.”“Oh!” Theo responded. “You know, when he had earlier told me that he was going to have a good talk with you, I never believed him.”“He did?”“Yes,” I remember vividly. I think we had dinner together that day when he told me. Though I couldn't remember what happened after then. But I remembered that I was going to tell you the good news.”“Oh, that must have been, before you suddenly felt light-headed. Actually, when I came back with the news about our honeymoon, you told me you had something to say to me, but then, you never told me before you passed out.”“Hmm. To be honest, I still don't know why
****Vanessa's POV***My heart pounded so hard in my chest as I placed a call through to my dad. It rang the first time, but he didn't pick up. I used my old line to call him, but he didn't pick up. Makes me wonder if he would rather not pick up because he's mad at me. What if that was truly the case? What am I supposed to do then?I called again, feeling terribly anxious. I begged in my mind for the moon goddess to have pity on me, so I can hear from my dad, even if it's for once.”Just then, I heard the clearing of my throat on the other end of the phone. “Vanessa, is that you?” Hearing my dad's voice brought instant tears to my eyes. I dried my eyes instantly, so he wouldn't notice that I was trying. “Darling, what happened to you?” His voice held so much strain. I could tell that indeed he had not been feeling that good. “Dad, I'm so sorry for letting you down. I'm sorry I didn't call you before now, please forgive me,” I said as tears rushed down my eyes. “My love, what happe
****Vanessa's POV****I gritted my teeth. I was annoyed at the fact that Jamie was right. “Seems I hit the nail on the head.”“Shut it!” I yelled, though I didn't get that angry at Jamie for real. Maybe I just feel sad. “Vanessa, I know you can handle things on your own, and I also know you Sometimes wish the baby's father was here with you.”“I told you to shut it, Jamie!”“Vanessa, how long do you think you can hold on for? Look, I understand that you're going through a situation which you do not want to share, and that's why I'm here. I know I told you I wanted to know how it feels to be a father, and that's true, though that's not the main reason I'm here.”I heaved a long sigh. I have known Jamie since I was little. Asides from him having an unrequited love for me, Jamie is naturally nice. He's always there for his friends, and that's one thing I really do admire about him.”“Jamie, you don't need to explain why you're here because I know.”“Well, since you know, don't you thin
