VIVIAN

“Please can you give us a moment of privacy with our priestess?” Alpha Zander turned to me and asked.

I opened my mouth to speak but couldn't because I was surprised that Alpha Zander would want me to go out just so they could talk to the priestess of the moon goddess.

I felt unimportant. Here I was thinking that I was slowly becoming part of their lives. Alpha Zander asking me to leave the room jolted me back to focus.

I felt like it was everyone for themselves. I nodded in understanding avoiding eye contact with them because I didn't want them to see the disappointment in my eyes.

I left the room and gently closed the door behind me. I found it suspicious that he would ask me to leave. I felt like they wanted to talk about me.

If not, then why would they ask me to leave? I still couldn't explain how I was able to bring the woman into the house.

Or was she a bloodsucker? Because we were told bedtime stories of blood-sucking humans that could bite and drink all the blood of a p

    ZANDERWhen I asked Vivian to leave the room and give us privacy, she wasn’t pleased. I could see it in her eyes and also feel it.That is why to clarify things, I texted her when she left the room. However, she read it and didn’t reply.Could she still be angry? I thought to myself but pushed the thought aside to concentrate on Priestess Tanya.I didn’t understand what she meant while pointing at Vivian. I wanted more answers and explanations and I didn’t want Vivian to find out yet that was why I even asked her to leave the room.If not that, I wouldn’t have asked her to leave.I wanted to know everything about Vivian being a witch. Her lineage and everything about her, so I could know how to protect her.It was the only way now that I knew that Ronald sold her out to The Circle. How did he even know she had magic and since when had he known about it? I was curious.I had it in mind to confront him about it but before doing I had to plan and strategize well.“What do you mean by you

    ZANDERWhat Priestess Tanya said made realization dawned on me. It had to be it. Or else how were they able to track witches down.There had to be a witch in “The Circle”. That was the only explanation as to how they could track down witches.I suspected it at first but didn't want to believe it, however, I was 100% now sure that The Circle had something to do with Selene’s mysterious illness.It meant that they had already known that Selene had magic. They were not only coming for Vivian anymore. They were coming for Selene too.Speaking about Selene. I began to get a weird feeling. “I’ll be right back,” I told them and left the room.I headed to my room to check for Vivian but she wasn't there. I frowned because I expected her to be in.So far I could tell she was more of an indoor person. I tried to dial her phone number but it was switched off.I didn't read much meaning to it and instead went downstairs to ask the maids or any workers if they saw Vivian around.The first maid I

    VIVIAN A soft moan echoed off the tiled walls as I approached the bathroom. Who the hell has sex at an event center of all places? As Luna, I was preparing my most judgmental speech for the shameless culprits. But then I heard the woman say, “Ronald,”. I froze. That name rang a bell. I knew almost everyone in this building, and as far as I was aware, only one man here bore the name Ronald. My husband and fated mate. My brain scrambled for excuses. Maybe it wasn’t my Ronald. Maybe I was hearing things. Maybe someone was playing a weird p**n clip on their phone. “Don't stop, Ronald. Don't fucking stop.” Surely, Ronald couldn’t be so downright stupid as to cheat on me. That thought alone made me shove the door open without thinking, and the sight that greeted me made me wish I’d stayed in blissful ignorance. There he was, my husband, tangled up with another woman. The man the goddess supposedly handcrafted for me was doing the very opposite of staying faithful. Watching him ch

    VIVIAN "Mom? Dad? Wendy?" My voice cracked as I called out, surprised and relieved to see my family stepping in. My mom looked like a raging bull. She locked her gaze on Ronald and Jessica like she wanted to rip them apart piece by piece. That fierce, protective side of her never failed to surface when I was hurt. But I was terrified. Ronald was the Alpha. He had the authority to punish anyone who dared to disrespect him, even my mother. "Mom, he’s an Alpha. Don’t look at him that way. Please," I whispered, after rushing to her side and wrapping my arms around her. "Did he hurt you?" She asked. I didn’t answer, but the sob that escaped me was answer enough. My sister, Wendy, bolted to my side, brushing away my tears like she was determined to erase the pain with every swipe. "Did you hit my daughter?" My dad’s voice boomed across the room. His eyes locked on Ronald with a fury that could ignite a forest fire. Oh shit. Ronald’s Alpha authority wouldn’t take kindly to s

    VIVIAN “Remember this document you signed before getting married to Mr. Connor?” the lawyer asked, handing me a familiar sheet of paper. I frowned and my hands trembled as I took the document. “Yeah. He said it was to make sure I really loved him, so I signed it. I didn't even care to check its content,” I replied. Confusion made me break into a sweat. Where was this conversation going? The lawyer’s lips curled into a smug smile that made me uneasy. “So you signed a document without reading it?” His tone was as sharp as a blade. “Well,” he continued, barely giving me time to respond, “you signed away everything you own. And now that this company belongs to you, that means Alpha Ronald Connor is the owner.” My heart stopped. The words hit me like a thunderstorm. I staggered, the ground beneath me tilting as my vision blurred. My fingers loosened, nearly dropping the document. My breath hitched, and I felt my knees buckle. Just as I was about to collapse, someone’s hands

    ZANDER I was fuming when I realized someone overheard our conversation. When we turned and saw who it was, my Jaws clenched as I turned to Lance, my beta who facepalmed. “What the fuck is wrong with Derek?” I growled. “Don’t you know when to stop making jokes?” I turned to Derek, my gamma, and glared at him. Derek laughed, not even trying to hide the amusement on his face. “I know I got you guys there.” I shot him a glare, and he finally stopped laughing, his eyes darting to Vivian. “Wait, you’re the CEO lady, right? Zander’s second chance…” Derek’s words were cut off before he could finish because I raised my hand, gesturing for Lance to shut him up. "No. Not now, Derek," I barked. There was no way in hell I was letting Derek blurt out to Vivian that she was my second chance mate. Hell, I was still trying to wrap my own head around it. I felt the mate pull when she bumped into me that day I went to her company for a meeting. Ever since that day I had been trying to g

    ZANDER The moment I heard Lucas say that we had a big problem and it was about Vivian, I refrained from sighing. We had only been married for an hour and yet there was already a problem. I didn’t want Vivian to hear what Lucas was about to say. I wanted to be the one to determine if I would tell her or not, so I decided to leave the room and go to my study. “Alpha Zander, Is anything the problem? I heard your beta say my name,” Vivian quirked an eyebrow at me. “I’ll be right back,” Was all I said to her before I left the room and headed to my study with Lucas. Reaching my study we both went in and Lucas closed the door behind him. I made sure I made my study soundproof because this was where I always had confidential conversations with my Beta and Gamma. Derek, my Gamma was already waiting for us inside which made me know that the problem may have been more than I expected. I didn’t even sit down before I turned to Lucas and Derek. “How bad is the problem?”. They both

    VIVIANImagine our surprise and astonishment when the elderly woman who officiated my wedding with Alpha Zander tried to walk in through the door but couldn't.It was like an invisible wall was on the door preventing her from getting it. Since I was born, it was the strangest thing I had ever seen.Looking at the elderly woman closely, she shared a resemblance with Selene. Which made me wonder if she was related to Selene.“Shit,” Alpha Zander cursed and facepalmed. He looked frustrated and confused.We began hearing gasps coming from the house maid’s. I turned and saw them looking at the elderly woman with their eyes widened with horror and shock.My instincts told me this could spark gossip in the pack and possibly lead to controversies.Due to how what was happening looked beyond the ordinary, if words spread about it, it may have led to the woman being accused of being a witch and being killed.Lucas, Derek, and Caroline Alpha Zander’s childhood friend who was also the best pack d

    VIVIAN “The young girl you saw me holding back at the hospital is just like a sister to me. I’m going to have to transfer her back home here because I don't want prying eyes on her,” Alpha Zander said to me. I tried not to give him a wary look as I thought about why he would want to transfer her from the hospital where there is a lot of equipment that could help her. No matter how I thought about it, his decision didn't go well with me. What did he mean by he didn't want prying eyes on her? “But the hospital is the best place for her. Why would you want to do…” I trailed off. It was at that moment that it dawned on me. My head snapped up to look at him. “By any chance, is it true?” I asked him with widened eyes. “Is what true?” He asked with his brows creased. “What the doctors said. They were right?” I asked him but he looked away but i knew the look on his face too well. “Goddess help us. It’s true. Sorcery? How is that even possible? Witches have gone into extincti

    VIVIAN When Alpha Zander placed me in the bathtub filled with ice, I felt cold only for a split second and thereafter, it was as though I was normal room-temperature water.It was then I became convinced that what Alpha Zander said was true. The cold water wasn't a problem due to how hot I was.I loved the fact that Alpha Zander left to give me some privacy. However, I wouldn't deny the fact that I loved the way he looked at my naked body.I was shy at first but the way he looked at me gave me confidence. But I knew that all these would pass soon when I would no longer be in heat.I began to have this notion that it wouldn't be bad to have Allha Zander want me.However, that was just my imagination that would never come to pass. The high time I started focusing on getting pregnant for him and giving birth just as we agreed, the better.I had to stay focused to achieve my goals especially now that I knew Ronald had something on me.I just hoped that Alpha Zander wouldn't find out abou

    ZANDERI could barely control myself when my hand brushed Vivian’s skin. Her scent was highly intoxicating and it was nearly impossible for me to resist her.I had to take her away from the hospital because whenever a female werewolf was in heat, male werewolves around tended to turn aggressive and want to have sex with the female werewolf whether willingly or not.I wanted Vivian so bad. All I could picture was me fucking her. The urge was so strong that even my wolf found it difficult to resist.However I felt like she wouldn’t want to have sex with me, that is why when I whispered into her ears I said the opposite of what I intended to.“How about getting into the bathtub?” I said to her even though I wanted to say, how about I show you how good my dick is. Wanna try?Her eyes widened like she didn’t expect me to tell her that.“What’s wrong?” I asked her after I saw her reaction.“We’ll have to take off all your clothes. Are you okay with me seeing your nakedness?” I asked her sof

    VIVIAN“There is no trace of magic in any pack. Keep searching for a way to revive Selene. Give your bank account details to my Beta. I would like to personally appreciate your effort. Not a word about everything that happened today to anyone,” Zander told the pack doctors who nodded in agreement.Did he just bribe the pack doctors to silence?I was still curious to know who the cute young girl was and what sort of illness plagued her.When I first saw Zander with the girls in his arms, an unexplained jealousy overwhelmed me and I didn't know why.But when I saw her state, the jealousy I felt was replaced with worry for the young girl.I came to the hospital today with Derek and Alpha Zander’s sperm was inseminated into me.The nice lady pack doctor said that we had a month to see if I would get pregnant.The past few days were really tough for me. That day Ronald came to Zander’s house and told me about the leverage he had over me, I found it difficult to sleep at night.I managed to

    ZANDER When Vivian turned to us, we all went into a frenzy of panic when we saw that her eyes dilated to a total black color just like Selene’s. The nurses all had horrified looks on their faces for a moment before they continued wheeling Selene to the room while Derek, Lucas, and I tried to cover Vivian so that more people wouldn't see her in that state. I could have easily left her and said that it was her woof trying to take control. But it had never happened in the history of werewolves that a female werewolf pupil would dilate to any color before shifting into her wolf form. Hence, there was no way pack members were going to believe that made-up story. As for the nurses present at the moment it happened, I was going to have to buy their silence for sure. That's why I loved the life that being wealthy brought. Wealth solves almost all problems. We took Vivian to one of the nearest empty rooms and tried to make her snap out of whatever state she was in because she was
