“Let go of me! I am the future alpha of my pack!” Lorenzo kept on growling like a mad wolf the whole way as the guards dragged him away to the dungeon. Thankfully Adrian and Brad had come right on time to save me in the forest. Even though Lorenzo was powerful, he was not powerful enough to suppress an Alpha and a Beta blood like Adrian and Brad together.He did put up a fight, of course, but lost terribly. The guards came pretty fast to grab Lorenzo and take him away. Adrian and Brad had not been hurt so I was thankful for that. Mom, on the other hand, was so malnourished that she was not even in her senses.Ignoring Lorenzo’s screams, I and Adrian rushed mom to the hospital. She had always been thin, but the starvation from the past few days had left her looking like a skeleton with skin on her body. It hurt
Alpha Bruno gave her a look that would have burnt her for the disrespect she just showed.Leila’s face was hard, “Lorenzo never harmed anyone. Why has he been thrown in a prison?”Alpha Bruno looked displeased with Leila’s sudden appearance. She had stormed inside the alpha’s meeting room without caring about respect toward alpha.Leila looked out of her mind as her voice increased with every passing second again, “You are just trying to subdue us! We are guests here!” she shouted, her face dripping with shock as if she could not fathom how we could even think that her brother would ever commit a crime.“We are your future family, alpha! How can you throw us in y
Just like Leila had, her father also burst through the doors as if this entire territory belonged to him. His gaze was fierce, eyes wide and the thick, black long hair flying everywhere. His thin face with that evil glower was giving him Lucious Malfoy vibes except for the blonde hair color instead of black.His eyes scanned the room at once. His gaze pinned Leila in her place for several seconds. Even I was afraid of the look in his eyes. Now I understood why Leila had looked so scared at the mention of her father.He moved his eyes away and then turned to Alpha Bruno. Lips curled back in a threatening growl, he asked, “Who put my SON in the prison, Alpha Bruno?”Alpha Bruno did not even blink at Alpha Griffin’s obviously bursting anger.
Adrian and I walked back to the house. Unlike every other time, he did not hold my hand while walking. I swallowed the shiver of pain that ran through me but kept quiet. I did not want others to listen to our conversation during our walk. We were walking side by side but he kept his distance. And that small gap that he left between us, well, it sucked. If someone had said to me before that I would turn into a sappy teenager who wants to hold her boyfriend’s hand all the time, I would have laughed my ass off. Right now I wanted to cry my ass off, and that was not pretty. Adrian opened the doors to my house and went in first. “Stay here.” he ordered and walked into the house first. I watched his back as he opened all the rooms and checked behind the doors and in the closets to make sure that it was safe inside. The house was still the same as I had left it. No sign of any living being staying in the emptiness of the brick walls. Ever since mom had been kidnapped, I had not been abl
I shrugged my shoulders as a chill ran down to my spine while I headed toward the hospital to be with mom. Maybe like Frankenswine, I will find a corner in the hospital room and feel somewhat safe by a miracle. The hospital hall was white and silent. My footsteps echoed in the hall as I made way to the room where mom had been shifted. My heart tightened in a knot as I grabbed the handle and gathered all my courage to enter the room. The past few days had been such an emotional rollar coaster, and now the argument with Adrian just fuelled my sadness.“August?” Mom’s croaked voice called out to me, making my eyes snap open. I pushed the door open and walked right in. Mom was sitting up in bed, leaning over to the nightstand to place the glass of water on the nightstand next to the bed. The moment I saw her, I broke in tears. There were dark circles under her eyes and she was so thin but her eyes brightened when she saw me.I rushed to the bed and dropped my arms around her shoulders
My eyes widened in shock. Leila’s cheek had turned red almost immediately and tears started falling down on her cheeks. The slap was a hard one, twisting her neck to the side. I had never expected Alpha Griffin to be this ruthless to his own daughter. He was more concerned about his son and there was clearly no fucks given to the daughter. No wonder Leila grew up to be so twisted in the head. My mom, she would never behave like this with me. As if she was habitual to the insult, Leila turned her head back around to face her dad and cried out, “I did everything I could, dad! I really did!” with her face stained with tears, she rushed to grab Alpha Griffin’s arm and beg, “We should get Lorenzo out of the prison fast. He must be so miserable there! He has never been alone in dark places, daddy. Should We go check on him?”Alpha Griffin jerked his arm out of Leila’s grip and shot her a disgusted stare.“I will save my son! He is going to rule my pack after me! He will be the one who kee
My eyes had snapped open completely. I straightened, getting up to sit in the bed. Adrian had his cell to his ear, listening to his dad from the other side of the call. He was quiet and unaffected as he heard the news while I had just become still with shock.“Is he alive?” “He is.” Alpha Bruno replied, “badly hurt though. His head was smashed, and three of his ribs were broken. A leg fracture and shoulder dislocated.”“Did they find who attacked him?” Adrian asked, his eyes briefly slides to my face before moving toward the little devil piggie of mine who was now growling at Adrian like he had snatched its favorite food out of its mouth.“No,” Alpha Bruno said, unaware of the lethal visual battle that Frankenswine and Adrian were having, “The guards were changing shifts when it happened. Lorenzo could not see the attacker’s face as he was pinned down from behind.”A ghost of smirk appeared on Adrian’s face. My confusion grew deeper.Alpha Bruno continued, “Griffin is earning my bra
“Lorenzo was in the hospital. In your fucking hospital! How in the fucking world his oxygen mask came off without anyone noticing? What kind of lousy security have you given to my son?!”Brady was standing in all his glory with his hands in his pocket and a poker face. I was not used to seeing him this serious as he was always playful when he was with Adrian. But right now he looked like his face had been set with glacier. Just emotionless and stern.He looked at the two guards standing on the side, “Did you see anyone going in and out? The security footage?”“No one.” the guards who were almost as big as MMA fighters with strong built and fully clothed bodies, shrugged, “there is no camera inside the hospital room but no one went inside the room except the guards and Alpha Griffin.”“Maybe your son took the mask off on his own while unconscious?” Brady questioned. Even I knew that it was not a very smart assumption.Alpha Griffin scoffed furiously, “You are making a fun of me, arent
The setting sun painted the sky in hues of pink and gold, casting a warm, ethereal glow over the sprawling pack lands. As the day transitioned into twilight, a sense of magic filled the air, mirroring the enchantment that swirled within my heart. The pack hall stood before me, adorned with delicate drapes and fragrant blossoms, like a sanctuary of love and unity.I stood at the threshold of this momentous occasion, my pulse quickening with each passing second. The gown I wore clung to me like a second skin, its intricate lace and shimmering details embodying the essence of elegance. My eyes, brimming with excitement and nervous anticipation, reflected the soft candlelight that illuminated the hall.Beside me, my mother, a portrait of strength and love, offered me a tender smile. Her eyes shimmered with unshed tears, mirroring the depth of emotions that surged w
"Mom," I stammered, the fear threatening to consume me. "You... his scent is on me... You slept with Adrian?" Her fury trembled through her every word."You... how dare you?!" she exclaimed, storming towards me. Gripping my arm tightly, she shook me with an intensity fueled by rage. "Are you out of your goddamn mind?! What have you done, you brainless girl?"This was the first time I witnessed my mother's controlled demeanor crumble, her words echoing throughout the pack house, leaving a trail of anger in their wake. It felt as though her body had been possessed by a stranger, her rage seeping out unrestrained. Her eyes blazed with fury."August, I explicitly told you that if you went near that boy again, our relationship would be severed. But not only did you break that promise, you came back home reeking of his sc
“Adrian, it’s a misunderstanding.” I tried to clarify but his hand on my neck tightened even more, almost restricting my breaths.“I heard whatever was necessary for me to hear. I had to hear it from the other pack members that you went on a fucking date with some chimp, August!”“He wasn’t a chimp, to be fair. He was pretty good looking guy.”“Are you sure that this is that what you want to say to me right now?!” he growled icily.Shit.“I- I’m sorry, okay? It wasn’t-”He snatched me closer at once, his breaths tingling my lips, “Listen to me August, you are mine and whatever whoever has said to you doesn’t matter the fuck to me. If you are so intent on ignoring that, then I am not letting you out of my fucking sight from now on. And then I will see how you go on other dates.”“Adrian,” I whispered, my heart pounding in my chest. “Let me explain.”His arms on my waist tightened and his hand that was on my hip slid down deeper, lower, to the spot between my legs to grasp it with his f
The restaurant exuded a cozy charm, its small space adorned with greenery and dark wood tables. The atmosphere was intimate, with only a few couples scattered throughout the room. My attention was drawn to a lone figure seated near a grand window that overlooked a picturesque hill, his gaze fixed on the world outside.With a warm smile, I approached him, extending my hand for a friendly introduction. "Hey, I'm August," I greeted, hoping to establish a connection.He returned my smile and shook my hand. "Ah, hey, I'm Tony."Tony was undeniably cute, although he possessed a different kind of charm compared to Adrian. Adrian had that smoldering, irresistible handsomeness, while Tony had an endearing innocence reflected in his face, complete with bangs cascading over his forehea
I stood there, watching as my mom's face twisted in agony. It was as if she was holding onto some kind of terrible secret that she couldn't bear to reveal. I wanted to know what had happened between her and Alpha Bruno, but I didn't want to push her too hard. Whatever it was, it had clearly left a deep scar on her soul.“Mom, what just happened?” Mom, who was frozen till now, suddenly lifted her hand to her chest. It was shaking.I rushed over to her, supporting her body as she began to stumble. I helped her to the bed, making her sit down."Mom, please tell me," I said softly. "I won't judge you. I just want to understand."She shook her head slowly, her eyes distant and unfocused. "It's a long story, August. A painful one."And then lifted her head to meet my eyes, “It’s- nothing. I had told you Adrian and you are not meant to be together! I warned you so many times, August.”“Mom, you are scaring me.” “It’s not about you. It was never about you. But that man- he… he is… August, I
“I am.” I muttered. “I want more.” he smiled and slipped his hand on the small of my back. His hand was warm, and I couldn't help but shiver at his touch. His faced leaned in and his lips brushed against mine. He pulled back slightly and whispered, “Your scent is driving me fucking crazy.” “We… we should-” Before I could finish my sentence, he kissed me again. This time, he was much more aggressive. He deepened the kiss, his hands were on my waist, and he was pulling me closer to him. With my body trembling, I clung to him. As much as the thought of someone seeing us making out made me nervous, ignoring his touch was much harder. His mouth slid down from my lips, down to my ear, licking the sensitive spot that I didn’t know existed. My body stiffened as I felt the tickle on my ear. The electrifying sensation ran through my entire body at once, igniting fire in every pore. “Adrian…” I whispered. My hand slid from the side of his face to his neck, my fingers trailing along the
I became still with shock. The stunned look was perhaps clear on my face as Alpha Bruno’s eyes narrowed when he spoke the next words,“You both knew from the very start that all of this was just for the show. There was obviously never going to be a marriage between you two. It is best for you to end it right now. I don’t want my son to be connected with an omega in any way from now on.” his eyes slid to Adrian, muttering, “understood?”Adrian’s face was emotionless. Cold and indifferent.“Dad, I am not doing that.” Adrian responded. “Leila is already out of the picture so all our troubles are over. I want to keep August.” he glanced my way briefly and met alpha’s gaze again.Alpha’s gaze turned stern, “Don’t test my fucking patience, Adrian. What are you thinking? An Omega by your side? Have you lost your mind?!”“I agreed to do whatever you wanted. But I not thi-”“We will, Alpha.” I interjected before things could get any worse, “we will announce the cancellation of our engagement a
I pushed him out of the room as my face turned red in shame. Locking the door from inside, I took several deep breaths to calm myself and then changed the clothes. The dress was light and cloudy on my skin. I had never had something like this. Something NEW even. Exhaling with deep comfort, I stepped out of the changing room to go meet Adrian.Adrian’s appreciative stare slid over me, making me blush even harder. When I was next to him, he grabbed my hand and took me along to shop around for more things. The time passed pretty quickly as we brought shoes and jewelerry and even the smallest things like shampoo and lotions. By the time it ended, I was literally exhausted out of my mind. We then ate food in a nice restaurant and had an ice cream. We then headed back to the car with some bags in our hands, ready to return.After coming back home Adrian leaded over to whisper, “I can’t wait to take this dress off you.”“We are in public!” I hissed, hiding my face in his arm. I had made a
I woke up from gentle knocking on the door. It first the constant ‘Thak, thak, thak’ irritated the hell out of my sleep deprived brain. But then I opened my eyes, realised I was in the pack house, laying in Adrian’s spare room entirely naked with a heavy arm around me, and shot up immediately.Shit!THAK. THAK. THAK.The knocking grew louder. Fucking hell.I did not have the time to dress up so I just threw on the bathrobe laying on the floor, and got out of the bed. I was about to unlock the door when I remembered something, flipped around and ran back to the bed.Adrian was spread out in the bed, fast asleep. I grabbed the sh
