*****Julia's POV****I sat in the corner of the bar and filled my glasses. I guess this is the only thing I could do for now. Nothing seemed to interest me again. It's been more than a week since I told Alpha Theo that I will come around. But up to this very moment, I don't think I can ever come around. I feel so terrible and hurt. Nothing seemed to work for me at this moment. I took another glass, while trying to keep my eyes open. I can't tell how long I've been drinking for, but I know I'm getting quite tipsy. “Hey, Miss Julia, why are you drinking alone? Mind if I join you?” I took my gaze up to see who it was. To my greatest surprise, it was Rawling. I took my gaze away from him, not, minding the fact that he had actually asked me a question. “No, thank you,” I muttered the words without looking in his direction. “Miss Julia, it's really shocking to see you this way. Could it be that your dad is giving you a hard time again, or did you get dumped?”I flipped at his last wor
*****Tihana's POV*****I stared at my mom's pictures. The more I stared at them, the more I discovered just how identical we are. “Aunt, is it just me, or do I look like my mom?”My aunt smiled brightly at me. “It's not just you, my dear. You are the spitting image of your mom. If only she had been alive, I'm sure everyone would have thought you both were twins. Because you look so much alike. Hearing this from my Aunt made me feel closer to my mom. Though I have never met her before, seeing her pictures and knowing just how much we look alike made me feel like my mom was already here with me. I wonder if she's happy wherever she may be, knowing the fact that she has a daughter who looks so much like her.“I wish my mom was still alive,” I muttered. I had never felt like I missed my mom until now. Seeing her pictures made me feel like I had actually missed a lot. “My dear, your mom was gorgeous just as you are, and she was nice as well.”I could tell. I could see it in her eyes th
*****Tihana's POV****I had heard a lot about this miss Julia and how she had become close to my mate. When I saw her for the first time, I couldn't tell, but there's just something about her, I couldn't quite wrap my hands on. She looked simple and beautiful as well. When we shook hands, I could tell there's a little uneasy feeling from my end. I guess it's because I was only seeing her for the first time. It can't be something serious. “Now that you both have met, I guess it's time to let the ladies bond. Meanwhile, my Luna will be joining us in making preparations for the reconciliation ceremony.”“Oh, that'd be great. I guess I'll have to borrow the Luna more often for some ladies talk,” Miss Julia said, with a smiling face.“I'm sure she'd be more than willing to join you,” Theo said, holding me close. “I will really love to help out with this great plan for sure. I'm sure it will be fun working with you, Miss Julia.”~After the meeting we both had with Miss Julia, Theo decide
*****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
