He smiled at me, and I blushed. He's too gorgeous to look at.
I'm going to call you someone to show you your room. He said. I just nodded, and within two seconds, someone knocked at the door. He told the person at the door to enter. She was a woman who was the same age as me. "How did he call her without a phone? I wondered in my mind. Ms. Catriona, she's called Sandra, she'll be the one to show you your room and the rest of the house. In case you want something, feel free to tell her. He said. I nodded my head in agreement. She slightly bent her head at him and gestured to me to follow her. We walked into the hallway and took me to my new room. She opened the door for me to enter. It was a big bedroom with a king-sized bed with white sheets on it. It had two wide windows and a sliding door that went outside the balcony. Outside the balcony, there was a leisure mod wicker that held two people. Do you like it? I didn't know that Sandra was following me. No, I don't like it, but I love it. I answered her. That's good to hear. My name is Sandra. Am called Catriona. Nice to meet you Catriona, you too, Sandra. "If you want anything, feel free to tell me. She said, "Okay... But where will I find you in this big house? I asked her. Am going to give you my phone number. What you have to do is just give me a text and I'll be here instantly. She said and gave me the most genuine smile I've ever seen. Is that what he did? But I didn't see him with any phone. I asked her. "Who?" The man from the office. I replied. Oh, you mean Alpha? Yes, that same one. Is his name Alpha? I asked. We call him Alpha because he's our Alpha. She said. What did he do? She asked. He told me that he was going to get me, someone, someone to show me my room, but you just showed up without him calling you on the phone. Ooh... yes, he texted me. She said, Really? I asked, still unconvinced. Yes, he did. I'm heading out, I'll come back later when dinner is ready. If you want to eat something now, I can bring it to you. She said, "No thanks, I'm fine dear." I appreciate the gesture, though. She gave me her number and went out. I unpacked my stuff, took a shower, and dialled Miss Olivier's number. She picked up on the fourth ring. "Hello honey, I am sorry I was in the kitchen preparing something for Edirne. She said, "It's fine, Miss Olivier, you don't have to explain yourself to me." How are you, honey? Have you reached safely? Yes, Miss Olivier, I've arrived safely. How's Edrine? I asked. He's a fine child. Am cooking something to take him to the hospital. She said. Okay, Miss Oliver, thank you so much. Am going to work hard for him to get the best treatment. I said confidently. Alright, child, do that. And don't forget to pray every day. She says. I won't miss Oliver. I hung up the phone and went to the bathroom. After dressing up, I slid the door open and went outside to the balcony. The view outside was breathtaking. This huge mansion is in the middle of the woods with no neighbours. The only neighbours here are the trees and a beautiful lake. I went back inside to take a nap because I felt very tired. I was about to put my head down when I heard a knock at the door. "Come in, the door was opened, and a male figure entered, and it was no other than Mr Alpha himself. I came here to talk to you about something. He said. Okay, come in. He sat down on the small couch and asked me if I liked the room. Yes, I love it. It's bigger than my room back home. I replied. I'm glad that you love it. I came here to tell you about some changes in the contract. He looked at me, and I waited for him to speak. "We will be having sex every day until you get pregnant. If you get pregnant, we will stop having it. He said. I just accepted because I've already signed the contract. This bedroom is opposite mine, what you can do is just cross from here to mine. And I'll be expecting you at exactly 23:30, He said. Alright, Mr. Alpha, I said. He looked at me utterly with sharp eyes. Who told you to call me that? He asked. Ever since I came here, I've been hearing people calling you Alpha, so I assumed that that was your name. I said. My name is Jayden Evers, but you can call me Jayden. He said. Okay then. I said. He stood up to leave, and I did so. He turned around, and I almost bumped into him. This man is so fucking tall. I feel so small before him. I'm sorry, I apologized. How's your brother? He asked. He's fine. I replied. Give me your account number to send you the money. Am going to give you $270,000. When you get pregnant, I will give you the balance. Okay, I said gave him my account number and left. ~~~ I woke up from what I thought was a nap. The room was now dark, I checked the time and it was already 20:15. I got out of bed groaning. Was I that tired? I asked myself. I got my phone and texted Sandra to come into my room. My stomach was now singing the hungry songs. Immediately Sandra was in my room. Hey girl! How was your sleep? She asked. "Sandra, were you around here? I asked her. " No, why? I just texted you, and within seconds here you are. UHM... it's because I exercise a lot. She said awkwardly. Anyway, I came here earlier to tell you that dinner was ready but found you in a deep sleep. She said, Why didn't you wake me up? I asked. Alpha told me to let you get enough sleep. Just hearing his name makes my heart race. What's wrong with me? I pinched my cheeks hardly to snap myself out of my thoughts. Sandra, I texted you here because I am very hungry. We went downstairs to get something to eat. She was taking me towards the elevator and I stopped her. Should we use the stairs instead? I asked. She didn't ask me anything about why I wanted to do so. We used the stairs down and into the kitchen. The stairs were beautifully dazzling from the lights of this beautiful house from the different corners. Wow... this house is big and clean. I can have my dinner on these stairs. She laughed at my joke. I have a lot of questions to ask you, Sandra, if you don't mind. Sure, you can ask me anything but not today. She said, After dinner, I used the stairs again back to my room to take a shower. I went into the bathroom and stood in front of the bathroom mirror. Any minute from now I won't be a virgin anymore. I kept my virginity for all these years for the man I always prayed to God to give me. But today I will be breaking that promise I made to myself. I finished showering and went back to the bathroom and dressed in my favourite night dress. ~~~ I left my bedroom and crossed to his bedroom door and nervously knocked on it. "Come in." He said in a deep husky voice. I entered and closed the door behind me. His bedroom has a hallway that leads into the main bedroom, I guess so. On my left side, still in the hallway, there's a bathroom and a big walking closet. I ambled in the dim light, turned on my left side again and went into his main bedroom. There's a king-sized bed, a large TV, two couches, and a coffee table in between. His bedroom was way bigger than the one I slept in. From what I am seeing, it looks three times. And it smells so good, like him. He was standing staring outside through the wide glass window. He turned his attention to me. He came toward me and stood close to me. He grasped my chin tilted my head up using his index and middle fingers and gazed directly into my eyes. Are you nervous...? He asked. A little. I replied. Don't be nervous, I won't hurt you. I will be gentle with you since it's your first time. He said. "How did he know that it's going to be my first time?"He brought his lips to mine and started kissing me. I responded so quickly to his kisses and touches. He brought out his tongue, rubbing it gently on my lips, asking for entrance. I parted my lips to let his tongue slide in. Both tongues played their roles. As it was my first time I didn't know what to do next so I slid my hand inside his shirt and tried to lift it off him but I couldn't because he was too tall for me to do so. I'll do it for you. He said. He took off his shirt, and my hands couldn't stop themselves from exploring his body. He slowly removed my nightdress, and my lingerie, and tossed them aside. He looked at me for a long time and saw him drinking me in with his eyes We will waste no more time. He said and carried me in a bridal style and laid me down on his soft bed. He came on top of me and started kissing me. He left my lips and kissed me downwardly onto my breasts. He gently squeezed them and gave me a sexy smirk and hardly pinched both my nipples but in a good
He seized my hand and dragged me into his office. He closed the door while still holding my hand. "What did you come here for? He asked angrily. I... You what? He snapped. If you know what you came here for, stop poking your nose into my business. He grumbled. Am s...sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. I apologized. He loosened his hold on my hand matched it to his desk, and sat down, examining me. Listen to Ms Catriona, if you ask Sandra any other questions about this house or me, she'll be the one in trouble. He said. "No, please, I won't ask her anything. Anymore. I said. Very good. Then behave yourself, woman. You didn't come here to research my house and people. I promise I won't. I said. I left his office and went to look for Sandra and apologized to her. I spotted her carrying a basket full of dirty clothes going into the laundry room. Hey Sandra! She saw me and gave me a smile which I returned. Hey to you, too! Is everything okay? She asked worriedly. Yes, Sandra, e
JAYDENI was in my office trying to finish some of the work but my mind wasn't in one place. I have a lot on my head right now. I have a problem to fix in another werewolf pack in another state. It's one of the problems that I have to take off of my shoulders. Their alpha was attacked and killed by the vampires. When they saw that he was outnumbered, they used that advantage and killed him. That's what I was told by his men. Now I have to get them a new alpha who will lead and protect them. I have to stage a fight between two powerful wolves and the winner will be the one to lead them. I got up from my chair and stood at the window looking outside. Looking outside through the glass window, I saw a man that looks like the vampire I killed thirty years ago. I tensed up and rushed outside the house. I shifted and took off into the woods. I sniffed the air but I co
JAYDEN I was so stressed today and caught up with work that I forgot what I had to do. "Are you alright? She asked. Yes, I am fine. She got up on her feet and started coming towards me. She's a beautiful woman with dark, fine skin. Whenever she smiles with her cute deep dimples, I get goosebumps, and my heart starts racing. She came close to me with her big brown eyes and looked me up. Mr. Jayden, I know you don't want me to poke my nose in your business but believe me, I also don't know how to explain this feeling, but I don't want to see you troubled. She said, "You don't need to tell me because I know what that feeling is." I said it inside me. She's a short woman, not slim and not fat, and she smells so good. If we have to kiss, I have to bend down. I pulled her very close to me bent down and inhaled her scent. As soon as I did so, I felt calm and relaxed. I consumed her lips and kissed her hungrily. No, I don't have to be a maniac. It's her second time, and she's not yet
JAYDEN In the morning, I woke up and headed into the bathroom. My phone rang and went to pick it up. Jerome was the one calling me. I didn't want to wake Catriona, so I went into my office and closed the door behind me. "What's up, Jerome! Alpha, I took care of what you sent me here to do, but as the top alpha, you are needed in the alpha's meeting. He said. Jerome was my Beta, I sent him to another country to observe the situation and set up the place where the fight would be. Alpha, I couldn't find a suitable place for the fight. If you agree, the fight will take place in their house field. The fight will take place in two weeks from now. He says. Okay, Jerome, come back here, I need you to do something for me here. I hung up the phone and went back to my bedroom to take a shower. I opened the door and entered. I headed straight into the main bedroom. The bed was empty so I thought that she had gone back to her room. I took off my clothes and entered the bathroom. I was stunn
I was lying on the cardiac hospital bed with an IV fluid drip inserted into my peripheral vein. My head is hurting so bad. I said with my hand on it. "Take it easy, girl. Sandra said. What happened to my head? You passed out and hurt your head. She said. The doctor came in and asked me if I was fine. I nodded. Ms Catriona, you have to be very careful in whatever you do from now on. You're two weeks pregnant. Said the doctor. I hung wide my mouth in aghast. "Doctor, say that again. "You are two weeks pregnant. He said again. Really? I asked, still not believing my ears. "Yes ma'am, you are." Wow, this is good news. Am so happy and relieved at the same time. Jayden and I had been having amazing sex every day like we were real couples, but I was not getting pregnant. It stressed me out so badly and made me anxious. A week before Jayden left for his business trip he told me he took me to the doctor for an examination, thinking that I might be having a problem with conceiving. I was
"Were you having a bad dream? Sandra asked me. I think so, "I replied as I leaned my head on the pillow. "What was the dream about? She asked. I was in the woods with a beautiful woman, she was going to tell me something about Jayden and then the wolf came and tried to kill her and me... It's a long dream, I don't want to talk about it now. It felt so real. What is the time? I asked her. It's fifty-two past six o'clock. She replied. "You mean I slept for seven hours? I took a bath again and went downstairs to eat something. My godmother came and sat next to me. Hey beautiful, how are you today? I'm fine, godmother, thank you. We were served chicken, rice, and salads... Our meal went very well, but most of the people were staring at me differently as if they had something to ask me. Whenever I come here to eat, you all stare at me, haven't you all seen a black woman before? I asked them jokingly. "Are you our alpha's mate? Two teenagers asked at the same time. They were the same
JAYDEN I gave up on calling Catriona after several times calling her and hanging. Up on me. I know that she's angry about us telling her to stay in her room and lock herself in. "Jerome told me that rogues were roaming around at the pack house. After a while of inspection, Jerome said that the rogues were not a threat. I asked Sandra to check on Catriona and tell me if she was fine. The next day at night after completing some of the tusks I came here for, I told everyone to get ready for the fight. I can't wait any longer for five days to end. I have a lot on my plate already, so I need to get this done once and for all. I have a pack of my own to take care of. Jerome is my Beta, I trust and know that he can manage the whole house in my absence, but still, I have to be there as an alpha. He is a good leader, and all the pack members love him. What I think about now is Catriona and my unborn son. When Catriona asked me whether I was happy or not about the pregnancy, I didn't answe
It has been eight months since the pack was attacked and everything that followed. Jayden and I have been able to reconcile and our love for each other has grown. Ever since Gabriel broke the mate bond with me he suddenly disappeared. Until now I haven't seen him. But I heard murmurs from the pack members that he found himself a mate and made her the Luna. Initially, I was hurt because he seemed so determined to be with me, but then suddenly ended our connection. However, I feel at ease with everything going well around me. The pack members have accepted me as their alpha's mate, and their affection towards me is growing stronger. My brother's health has stabilised, so we don't have to visit the hospital as often. Regarding the old spirits, they continue to possess me during times of trouble and fight our battles when needed. However, whenever I attempt to inquire about our relationship, they simply smile and leave me hanging. I have given up on pursuing this topic. Vannesa, too,
JAYDEN I froze in place when my so-called vampire brother burst out of the pack house, somehow managing to get his hands on Catriona. "I've had enough, little brother," he said. Everyone paused including Gabriel, waiting to see whom he was referring to as his brother. Gabriel was quick to react, glancing from me to the vampire. His face turned red with fury, and could tell he wanted to charge at my brother and break him in half. As satisfying as that would be, it was also impossible. Doing anything foolish would put Catriona in danger. My brother approached me confidently, exuding an air of satisfaction. He sniffed Catriona's neck and then turned to me, remarking, "She smells good." He twirled his bloody tongue over his fangs. Gabriel's voice echoed angrily in my mind, demanding, "Who is this bloodsucker to you, Jayden?" His wolf paced restlessly around him while bombarding me with questions. "Let her go. It's me you want." I said but instead, his smile grew wider, as if he was
GABRIEL When I ensured Catriona's safety indoors, I ventured out to mediate the conflict between the witches and Jayden's enraged wolves. I never anticipated being struck by the witches' wrathful magic, which was originally intended for Jayden. The impact of the magic left me clutching my chest tightly as if it might burst open. I remained on the ground for several minutes, groaning in pain. Although the temptation to shift and violently retaliate against everyone was strong, I knew I had to remain calm. Feeling frustrated, I took a deep breath and confidently approached the wolves and witches, positioning myself between them with a dominant demeanour. "You all need to calm the fuck down," I assertively stated. Surprisingly, everyone except for Jayden stopped. He angrily trotted over to me, snarling in my direction… "You dare bring unknown witches to my house and give orders to my pack?" Who do you think you are?" He said, his voice guttural. "Trust me, I wouldn't mess with brin
l gazed wide-eyed, still processing what just happened where I hurried over to Jayden, as he appeared to be in pain. My love and concern for him compelled me to reach out, but instead, a powerful gust of wind blew through me, separating us. I stumbled backwards, my heart pounding in my chest. Fortunately, Gabriel was behind me and caught me before I hit the ground. His strong arms wrapped around me, providing a sense of stability amidst the chaos. I clung to him, grateful for his presence in this bewildering moment. Without hesitation, I turned to face the witches, my Voice trembling with a mix of fear and anger. "Did you do this? Are you responsible for what just happened?" I demanded, my eyes narrowing as I awaited their response. The witches exchanged glances, their expressions filled with surprise and confusion. One of them with silver hair, stepped forward, her voice gentle yet resolute. "No, we had nothing to do with it,'' she replied. My mind raced, trying to make sense of
JAYDEN I froze in my tracks, my heart pounding in my chest. The weight of my wolf's words hung heavily in the air, leaving me speechless. Breaking the mate bond was an unthinkable act, a betrayal of the deepest kind. It was a bond meant to be eternal, unbreakable. That is the best thing we can do for Catriona. She'll be free. And safe from being hurt by the man she loves. Even though my wolf said this, I can feel the sadness in his tone and feel the beating of his heart, which tells me that he doesn't mean it. I know he's trying to punish me for everything I did to him, especially to Catriona. Fuck me I wasn't in my right damn mind. However, it doesn't mean that I don't love Catriona. I genuinely love and care about her to the extent of giving my life to her. Despite my wolf's warning, I disregarded him and headed into the house. "Did you hear what I said?" His voice echoed loudly in my head making it hard for me to think straight. "I heard you loud and clear, beast." We nee
I stared wide-eyed at the saliva rolling down my bare skin, fear flooding in as the memory of Jayden's nearly lifeless body came rushing back. What is going to happen next? Am I going to end up in the same half-dead state as Jayden was? How many days will it be? And what about the child inside me? I instinctively touched my belly, filled with trepidation at the thought of my unborn child facing the same fate as me. How unlucky am I? Gabriel was immediately by my side, attempting to communicate with me but his words were incomprehensible, though I could sense his anxiety and anger. I'm scared he would kill another person. Based on Gabriel's account of what the saliva did to Jayden, I expected an immediate reaction when it came into contact with me. However, it took longer for the effects to manifest. Gradually, I felt my larynx becoming blocked, making it difficult for me to breathe. Desperately gasping for air, I clutched at my throat. Gabriel's grip was strong, and his roug
GABRIEL Catriona's gaze filled me with fear, causing my heart to pound relentlessly. Her silence alone is already destroying me. Naturally, no woman would look at you the same way after learning that you have killed someone. I took a step forward and reached out to touch her, but she quickly backed away, saying, "Please don't touch me. Whatever you want to say, just say it from there. Don't come any closer." Her lips trembled as she spoke. A feeling of unease crept into my stomach as if poisonous insects were devouring me from the inside. It was then that I realized it was time to tell her what happened to her. After all, she's my mate, and she has all the right to know. Pumpkin, I'm going to tell you everything, but not in this situation where you're trembling. It's distressing to me. Please sit down first. "I'm fine here, she said, cutting me off. I nodded, respecting her decision. ~~~ Due to my prolonged search for my mate as an alpha, l was deemed unfit for impor
I dropped my hands in shock as Sandra's words hit me like a ton of bricks. "He murders his mates. The weight of her statement overwhelmed me, leaving no room for coherent thoughts. Before I could process it further, Gabriel abruptly grabbed Sandra by the neck, choking her. Everyone who was minding their businesses gasped in shock as others started disappearing away. Despite struggling to breathe, Sandra managed to speak. "Are you going to kill me like those other women?" You've crossed the line, woman, Gabriel growled. In an instant, he snapped her neck. The sound of Sandra's neck snapping echoed through the air, sending shivers down my spine. Time seemed to freeze as the weight of what had just happened settled in the atmosphere. The witches stood frozen in a mix of shock and fear, their eyes wide with disbelief. My mind raced, desperately trying to process the horrific scene unfolding before me. As Sandra's lifeless body fell to the ground, Gabriel slowly turned his gaze toward
As I continued to whine in pain, this beautiful woman I had just met came to my aid. She gently guided me down the grass and placed her hand on my neck, where the pain was emanating from. Breathe in," she said and then started talking in small words. After a few moments, I began to feel the pain dissipate, replaced by tiny shimmering sensations. As she removed her hand from my neck, she collapsed down in a sideway position, panting heavily as if she had just run a long distance. Concerned, I turned to her and asked if she was alright. She waved her hand dismissively, indicating that she just needed a moment to relax. "I just need a moment," she said. "I laid down facing her. What do you think you're doing?" she asked. First of all, thank you for your help. For a moment, I felt like I was dying. I shouldn't have done that," she said, cutting me off. She slowly got up and sat upright, and so did I. Get out of here. She said in a dead serious tone. Did I do anything wrong? I asked,
