ALEXEI IVANOV……I never believed in fate. Seven years ago when I came to know Angelica was my fated mate I was so mad at the Moon Goddess for pairing me with her not with Charlotte whom I love dearly. But four years later when I came to know Angelica died I cursed the same fate for snatching her away from me.It's not that I didn't have feelings for her when she was with me, it's just that I realized it late. Or should I say way too late. I went to that bar just to have some alone time away from all the pack work. But I didn't think I would run into Angelica there. If it wasn't fate that wanted to bring us together then what.I brought her to my penthouse and laid her on the bed. She threw up when I was about to put her to bed. Her dress got dirty so I changed her into a pair of new clothes that were there. I had bought one that I never gave to her. It was simple and comfy. So she wouldn't feel uncomfortable while sleeping in that. I washed myself and the place where she threw up. Th
ROSALINE DAVENPORT…..A Week Ago….“Tell me, why can't I stop thinking about you? Humm?” Jasver Rossi stared at me holding a mischievous smile on his face. “What the fuck you did you do to me?” I laughed a little at his words. Mom and Dad forced me to go on a blind date with him. They literally blackmailed me to meet him. And here I was, sitting with Jasver Rossi in a restaurant where he had booked the whole place for us. It was just us.“I don't know what you saw in me, Man. Why don't you choose any other girl for yourself? There are so many beautiful girls lined up for you and here you are behind me to marry you. You deserve better, Man.” I tried to make him understand. And he smiled at me.“That's right, I deserve better. And no one is better than you.” I shook my head defeatedly.“You must be blind.”“Yes, I'm blindly in love with you.” I palmed my face not able to take his cheesy words.“Do you really think it's love that you feel for me?” I asked him and he nodded.“I’m damn su
ROSALINE DAVENPORT…..“There was no reason for threatening Alexei like that, Jasver. I was handling the matter.” We were coming back to the hotel from Fashion Week.“How did you expect me to react when he was trying to snatch my fiance? You are my mate, Rosaline. Even though you are not my fated mate, I have chosen you as my mate. I won't just sit back and watch someone claim my mate as his mate. I want you to go and reject him. Sever the mate bond. I can't tolerate him near you. He didn't mark you so it will be easy. He's staying in the same hotel. After reaching there you are going to him and reject him as your Mate.”I was shocked to see this side of him. He was behaving like an over possessive Mate. But how does he know that I'm Alexei’s Mate? Does he also know that I'm not Rosaline Davenport but Angelica Sokolov?“How do you know he's my Mate? I don't remember telling you anything about it.” I asked him and he looked stunned for some moment.“Is it a crime to do a background chec
ROSALINE DAVENPORT……I closed the door and leaned against it, breathing heavily. While my heart was pounding so hard it seemed it would come out of my chest. I could feel it in my throat.It was just a kiss, Angie. Pull yourself together.My skin heated at the memory of Alexei’s mouth and hands. Kissing, caressing, exploring. I haven't had sex for seven years. It has been a long time since no one has touched me like that. Even before, when we were together, he would just come and have straight sex. There was no kissing, no making love. It seemed he would just come to have a release. He never made love to me. It was always a sex for him. A punishment. To make me realize I can have him but can never be loved by him. And can never bear his child. I never enjoyed the moment we shared in bed. If I have experienced something then it was just pain.I don't know why my heart still craved his touch and melted before him. He isn't worthy of us. I didn't realize I was crying all the while until
ALEXEI IVANOV……"Then why can I smell your arousal?" I asked with a naughty smirk on my face and Angelica’s face became pale as white. She swallowed hard looking everywhere but me. Maybe, looking for an excuse.She opened her mouth to defend herself but nothing came out of her mouth and closed. "What happened, the cat got your tongue?" With a naughty smirk, I teased her again.I rested my right knee on the sofa trading her in between. I leaned more and snuggled into the crook of her neck inhaling her body smell. Her own personal body fragrant was so intoxicating that she didn't need to use any artificial perfumes.I always loved her smell. She was my personal heroine. Whenever I feel disturbed, her smell will help me to calm down. I inhaled deeply, taking as much as the fragrance of her. And I was losing my sense. It was difficult for any sane woman to stay calm when a half-naked man was so close to her. And I took more time to talk in the call just to seduce her. I wanted her to
JASVER ROSSI…… “Mom, I don't care if you like her or not. I love Rosaline and I will make her my mate, that's it.” I told her over the phone. “But we have chosen Lana as your Mate. We have already fixed your engagement with her. I have given her my word that you will be her mate. She's waiting for you here. And you are saying that you are going to make that bitch your mate.” She burst out on me. “Watch your mouth, Mom. You can't insult my mate like that.” She laughed mockingly. “Really! If you bring her here then she won't be able to live a single day here. Because of the way your brother detests her, I don't think he will let her live here. You know what she had done to him. Still, you chose her as your mate? Couldn't you find any other girl to fall in love with?” “If you all have so much problem with her then I won't bring her to that house of yours where everyone is bloodthirsty for my mate. I’m leaving the house. That's my final decision.” I declared my decision. “Son, you c
ALEXEI IVANOV…..“WHAT?” “Angelica has a son?” I exclaimed in extreme shock as Beta Nereo informed me through mind-link. “Yes. I don't know if he's yours or not. But Vasileios kidnapped him because you killed Charlotte. You know what Charlotte was to him? And how Charlotte used him to take revenge on Angelica.” I closed my eyes remembering how she fooled me back then.“I know she was his personal favourite whore. I was waiting for the right time to get him. But now this is it. I don't need a perfect time to kill that bastard anymore. Gather everyone, we are going to get him.” With that order I closed the mind-link and got ready to get that bastard.“Vasileios, I will be your death. You messed with the wrong person. Before you tried to kill my mate and now you are after my kid. If Karma doesn't hit you then I will. I will kill you so slowly that you will beg for death. ” I smashed the glass on the floor that was in my hand, making it shattered into pieces.I got Vasileios’s farm hous
ROSALINE DAVENPORT…..“What? Vasileios gone missing?” I couldn't believe my eyes when it showed on the news. “It would be better if he was dead instead. Isshh! I hate that bastard.” Winona groaned beside me while suddenly something crossed my mind.Is Alexei responsible for its disappearance? Because he didn't tell me how he managed to rescue Jason from there. “Excuse me, Winnie. I have to make an emergency call. Please look after Jason for me.It has been weeks since that incident happened with Jason. I was so busy with Jason these days that I didn't have the time to ask Alexei how he managed to rescue Jason from Vasileios. It wasn't an easy thing for any normal person. If it was Jasver I would believe it. Because he has a Mafia background. But Alexei! I know he's a powerful Alpha but fighting against Alpha Prince wasn't an easy thing at all.I dialed Alexei’s number cand called him. He received the call in two rings. “Hello, Sunshine.” I was taken aback by his new nickname. We wer
“Who is Isabella's father?” Aurelia asked her Mother who was in dilemma whether to tell her or not.“Your father doesn't want you to go back to him. I don't think I should tell you about your husband.” Rosaline bit her bottom lip and told her.“Why? Is he a bad person?” Aurelia asked her and Rosaline shook her head.“No, he isn't a bad person. It's just …..” before Rosaline could say something more Aurelia placed her hand on hers.“Don't say anything Mom. Anyway, I don't remember anything about my past. It's better I don't know something which will give me pain. I want to meet him. Can you arrange a meeting for us?” Rosaline looked at her shocked because of her unexpected request.“He's Isabella’s biological father, he has the right to know about her and see her. If I feel like he's not the right person for me then I will not go back to him. Isabella is already sad for Raphael. She was very attached to him. I don't want to keep her away from her father's love. If she finds her real fa
ROSALINE ……When Rosella showed me Haelyn's vacation photo I felt like my heart almost stopped beating when I saw my long lost daughter in the background. I didn't tell anyone before making sure that she was really my daughter. I didn't waste a moment and called Haelyn. She didn't pick it up and sent me a text saying that she will talk to me later.At night she called me and told me everything. I fell on the bed with a thud with my phone. I couldn't believe my eyes when I finally found my daughter after five long years of waiting. I didn't leave any stone unturned to find her. But couldn't find her, it seemed she had just vanished into the thin air. But when Haelyn narrated everything to me I understood why we couldn't find her. Because he has been keeping her caged in his house.“What happened to you, Darling?” Alexei asked me in a concerned filled tone then I told him everything.“How dare he? We are leaving right now and bringing our daughter back to us.” I nodded and we left for I
AURALIA…..“Isabella, come to bed. Papà will be late tonight. So get back to sleep.” Tucking her in the bed I laid beside her.“Read me bed stories only then I will sleep.” She said stubbornly.“I don't know from whom you have taken this habit. You are so stubborn. Mamma is tired today. Can't you just go to sleep without listening to stories.” She stared at me with her tearfilled eyes which melted my heart. I love her sky blue eyes. My eyes aren't sky blue and Rafael’s eyes are brown. I don't know how her eyes are sky blue.“Okay, Mamma will read you stories.” Isabella squealed happily and kissed my cheek.“You are the world’s best mother.” I smiled and then started to tell her stories. After half an hour she fell asleep. Then I closed the door and went to my room. Suddenly I got a call on my phone. Usually, no one calls me other than Raphael, sometimes Haelyn or Davian call me. I picked up the phone to see it was Haelyn.ME: “Hello!”HAELYN: “Hello! Ari. I got kidnapped. Please come
FIVE YEARS LATER……RAPHAEL ROMANO……“Isabella, come for breakfast first. You can play with Dal later.” My beloved wife Karianna yelled irritatedly at our daughter, placing her hands on her hips.“Coming, Mamma.” Our daughter yelled back enthusiastically patting her cat Dal then ran towards me to the dining table. As she knew only Papà can save her from her Mamma’s wrath.“Papà,” She squealed happily while sitting on the next chair beside me.“Why does La principessa di papà give a tough time to Mamma?” I asked her while handing her the glass of milk.“Because I love to tease Mamma.” She giggled saying that.“Now be a good girl and finish your Milk.” She nodded and gulped down the whole glass of milk in one go.“Aah! Finish Papà.” She wiped her mouth with the back of her palm and handed me back the empty glass.“Now, have these boiled eggs and chicken soup.” Karianna pushed the bowl of soup and one plate of pieces of boiled eggs.Isabella was enjoying her breakfast and I was enjoying
AURELIA…..I wanted to talk to Mom but her phone was switched off. Everything was going against me. I called Dad to ask about Mom and he told me she had left the house tomorrow and she strictly told him not to disturb her. I was confused at his words and it took everything in me to hold back myself asking Dad about her and Alpha Ziven’s relationship. I didn't want to hurt him by reminding him of the past.After some time Gamma Leo called me to inform me that Mom is in here. She looked mad and went towards Jason’s study room seething in rage. Did she find out about him bringing his mistress to the house? But how? Maybe, she had a spy here to give her every update.I don't care even if she beats him, I just don't want her to disclose my pregnancy to Jason. I ran out to look for Mom. My heart was pounding hard the more I was getting close to the study room.“You have no idea what you have done, Jason. I didn't know you had so much hatred for me in your heart.” Mom’s harsh voice skated do
AURELIA…..“I, Aurelia Davenport, reject you, Alpha Jason West, the Alpha of the Dark Forest Pack as my Mate and Alpha.” I thought to say the very words and end our bond right here, right now. But I was pregnant and I can't be selfish and risk my baby’s life over my happiness.“Who is she?” I asked him, eyeing the girl deadly.“My girlfriend.” He shamelessly answered me and what pained me most was there was no ounce of remorse in his eyes. I wanted to slap him again but I restrained myself.“Why? Wasn't I enough for you? Did I fail to satisfy you? Am I bad in bed? Am I not sexy? Why did you have to get yourself a girlfriend when you have your wife? How do you want to explain this, Alpha Jason? Do you want to give me an explanation here or in your room?” I crossed my arms against my chest, holding back my tears. I didn't want to break down in front of him to give him the satisfaction that he could break me.“Because I fell out of love. I don't feel what I feel around her. I know you ar
AURELIA…..“Mom, I don't want to go there. I just want to stay at home.” When Mom told me to attend Christmas Eve. I didn't want to. I didn't feel like going anywhere. I just wanted to see Jason and ask him what I did to deserve such a cold treatment from him. He went there saying it will take one week but it's been three weeks and he hasn't come back yet.I don't know what's going on in his mind. Why is he tormenting me like this? I just wanted to live a happy life with him. But look how my life has become. I'm living a miserable life.“You will feel better. There will be so many people. I think you should go there.” I gave it a thought then decided to go. I didn't like to see them dress out for me. I heard her crying last night with Dad. And I even heard how Dad threatened him to come back. And I got to know that he's coming back. But I won't go back until he comes here and give me an explanation.Raiden was pretty mad at him. He said once Jason is back he will beat him to the pulp.
HAELYN…..I have cried to the point that I wonder how I still have my tears left, and I knew that I deserve this agony. I have broken Davian's heart, and it killed me too. I had to do that because people will make fun of us if we become a pair. The next morning when I went to the office everyone was asking if I was dating that handsome boy. I was shocked to hear her. Because I thought Davian must have told them that he's my boyfriend. Before I could say something another female colleague spoke up. “Have you lost your mind? Why would Haelyn date a younger guy? He will be five or six years younger than her. Why would that guy date a woman, when he can find a beautiful girl at his age? People will laugh at them if they come out together.”Her words knock some sense into my mind. And I understood she was right. What will his friends think when they come to know about us dating each other. They will definitely make fun of him. I can't be selfish to ruin his future. It's better I stay away
AURELIA…..When I woke up the next morning after our steamy love making session I found the space beside me empty. I touched the bed to find it cold, it seemed Jason had woken up long ago. I looked at the wall clock to find out it was already twelve o'clock. I shuffled off the blanket and went to the bathroom to have a warm shower. Then after changing into a fresh pair of clothes and making my way downstairs. I was descending the stairs when I saw Gamma Leo coming up.“Gamma Leo, where is Jason?” I stopped him and asked him.His brows wrinkled as he looked at me confusedly. “Alpha has left for the New York trip in the morning. Didn't he tell you?”I was shocked to discover the news. “What?”“Yes, he went there for business and will come back after a week. We thought you know. We all were surprised when you didn't come down to see him off as you always do when he went for work.” Gamma Leo expressed.“Okay, you can go now.” Gamma Leo nodded and left.Jason left for New York for a whole
