Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 60: The Thin Line Between Love And Hate
I crack my eyes open. The room is dark. The blinds are rolled closed, but I can hear the new day loud and clear. I realise I'm lying over and straddling something warm and hard. It's Zeke's body. Somehow, I had cuddled close to him during the night. After a moment of watching his handsome face, his eyes pop open. I understand he's been awake for a while now. Nerves parch my throat. "Hey, how long have you been up?" Zeke doesn't respond, and I frown. His hands have been around my waist since I woke up. He doesn't remove them and I suspect he still thinks I'm Scarlett. It annoys me slightly, but I suppress that selfish feeling and try again. "Zeke?" I place a palm over his forehead. Even though a wolf can't run a temperature, I still try my best to make sure he's good. "How are you doing this morning?" "You are here with me. That alone makes me the luckiest man alive," he says, sitting up and pulling me close. His hand brushes the fallen strands away from my eyes, tucking them be

I return to the kitchen, fuming. Drusila eyes me strangely when I drop the tray in the sink and it clatters against it. Zeke stops by before he leaves. He doesn't look at me. I don't look at him, either. I focus on my carrots, eating a little too loudly as they speak. Zeke says, "Aiden's tailing Bessie. He'll bring news about the witches during the pack gathering tonight." "Tonight?" Drusila asks. I hear the surprise in her voice. This is something she's not aware of or expecting. I'm not updated on this piece of information, either. A lot I do not know about has happened behind my back, but then, I'm not a Moon Grove wolf. I'm just here to deliver a child and nothing more. "Yes. Tonight, my new beta will be chosen during the gathering. We will also discuss Moon Wood now the Zeta has arrived." I can feel his gaze on me, but I don't break. I focus on the carrot, like I can't care less about his presence or their conversation. Hearing Moon Wood, my interest piques a bit, but so a

I stagger away from the shelf. My nerves get the best of me and I drop the detergent on the floor. It lands with a loud thump, shocking me and increasing my heart's pace. I don't know how else to react, but everything in me is telling me to run, but I'm frozen to a spot. Zeke's words come back to me. He's danger. Chase sent my father to kill my baby. He sold me without a second thought to two Alphas. I should tread carefully. He comes around to where I'm standing. I pick the dishwasher detergent and tighten my grip on it, like it's my life support. He looks so different. He's grown a lot older and has streaks of grey hair showing amid his black beards. As much as I want to fear him, he's my father. The man who raised me. My heart thinks differently after a few minutes. "Father." I whisper, barely breathing. He's dressed differently, too. I guess being on this side of the map changes things. I try my hardest to stay strong, but the emotions I feel are overwhelming. My father steps
Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 63: Black Diamond
**********************ZEKEThe day's not over yet, but I'm stuck at a bar, drinking many glasses of hennessy and pondering on thoughts that are way past me. I'm seated at a private booth in the popular bar and the days ahead are looking bleak. I don't have the strength to stand. She's all I can think about. Chase Erickson almost got the best of me with that plan he made up. I vowed to get back at him for the humiliation and the pain. Red Valley earned a slot on my vengeance list. But Marelyn is someone I will never give up. I may have told her and everyone else seven months was all I needed, but I don't think that's possible. I don't even know why it's not. It's just not. I down another glass and start pouring the next. The bottle has almost run dry. My tie hangs loosely around my neck, and all I want to do is forget. Forget that the past two days happened, but I can remember every little detail. Her soft skin against mine felt like heaven and I was
Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 64: Stalked By The Past
Alexis is wrong. I don't want to forget Letty. I can never do that. She's mine forever because I never break the promises I make. It's only the past few days that need forgetting. Maybe with Alexis, there's a way to save Marelyn from me. "I don't think I wish to know where she stands." "Your heart doesn't lie." I stare at her, lost for words because my head's telling me that this is all I need to move on. Forgetting Marelyn. But then there is a part of my heart that doesn't want to. Even if I forget, I still will never let her go. "Aren't you a know-it-all?" I scoff, taking another glass. "Not to brag, but I am." She eyes the second bottle that's almost done with. "Slow down. At the rate you are going, even your wolf can't save you from the hangover that is bound to hit." "Does it look like I give a damn?" She rolls her eyes and searches my face. Her question comes with a warning. "Are you willing to accept my help? It's the only shot you have at knowing the truth about the
Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 65: The Duel
I walk past the dungeons. There's an area still beneath Taz's lair. It's called the arena. A part of Moon Grove meant for occasions like this. In a few minutes, the victor of this duel will become my beta. Aiden Sinclair was my selection, but Kass Rodin's blood lineage puts him in line for the position of beta. Yet the final decision rests on this moment. The duel. A while ago, Drusila revealed Jai-Blynn's presence around Moon Grove. A wolf had seen him lurking around the premises yesterday. I must be on guard and keep my eyes open because the enemy will show himself soon. Crowds of wolves fill the arena, above and below. The ring of death sits at the centre of the space. I climb the medium-length stairs joined to the stone wall on one edge. It doesn't have a railing, and it follows a z-shaped pattern. At the top lies my throne in the arena. I settle in, waiting for the clock to strike ten. I didn't bother Aiden with questions about his finding when I returned. He has to fight to t
Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 66: Winner Takes It All
MAREI don't know what came over me, but sometimes, this side of me shows itself. It usually happens when someone I want to protect is in danger. Like defending Frida in the dungeons or when I heard the explosion on the next street. This time is no different. I want to help Aiden. He's useful to Zeke and has grown on all of us. Sentencing him to an inconclusive death inside a ring is not the way to repay his good deeds.Well, Kass Rodin is someone I've never met, but I suspect he's a fine wolf. Zeke will need all the help he can get, because trouble is around the corner. Chase and my father are up to no good. The Diamond witches are still out there, even Jai-Blynn. I'm doing him a favour by demanding he change the terms.Zeke just called the duel off. I'm staring at him as he stands there, facing the crowd of wolves. He says nothing after the pause. I see he's working his jaw and putting his thoughts together. On the outside, Zeke still looks as tough as a rock, like a legacy who comma

He's still laughing with her. I'm glaring at them from my table a few distances away. It's irritating to watch and I can't be more subtle. I wonder what she's telling him that's so funny. She looks like a maggot when she laughs and the sound is annoyingly loud. Seriously, what does he see in her? "Tonight is about Aiden. You should focus on making it about his win and not other trivial things." Drusila walks up to me. She's giving me a knowing look I hate, and I roll my eyes. This will be fun. "I have congratulated the new beta on his win and yes, tonight is about Aiden. No arguments about that." She settles on the table snacks for a moment before speaking again. "He looks so happy. I've not seen him this carefree in years." I'm confused, but then I look over my shoulder and realise she's talking about Zeke. He's still standing there with the woman in black and it's still pissing me off that he's not said a word to me since. "Whatever." I sulk, while staring off at the table.

Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 158: Epilogue
I'm standing at the window edge of a hallway in the fortress. Everyone that passes greets their Alpha with a bow. Today is the exertion of the verdict I passed over all those involved in my mother's death. I took her skull down from where it was hung and finally gave her a befitting burial. Chantria Van Acker, after being tried for my mother's death and King Nikolai's death, was sentenced to death. Her execution is today, and Zane doesn't try to stop it. I knew he went to see her one last time at the dungeons last night, but she's his mother. Will that ever be enough? Hours later, Aiden hands me a platter. I open it and find Chantrias head. The last thing I can do for my mother is to replace her skull with that of the person who put her there. I tell him where to leave the human head until it decomposes, and only a skull is left. My brother stops by to see me in my chambers that evening. He doesn't seem angry that I had given the order for her death. She had killed Father, too. It
Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 157: Who Will Be King?
ZEKE Again, fire and water will stand against each other. I don't know what the outcome of this fight will be. In my head, I know what I want, but I can't tell exactly what my brother is thinking. It was his idea to do this. I'm not so sure why I even agreed. Revenge doesn't matter anymore. Once I looked into my daughter's eyes, all the pain I felt melted away. I healed. Mare couldn't let go of me all through the night. She was stuck to me like glue because she feared this moment. She feared losing me. My life is finally coming together. I fear losing it, too. The arena roars wild. The entire wolf lands are watching King Nikolai's sons make history. I'm already a record breaker, and he's their king. This fight will have them all at the edge of their seats. The gong goes off and shirtless as we are, dressed in nothing but shorts we fight to the death. I cast an illusion of a cloud over his head, and constant rain falls on only him in the arena. Zane is furious that I'm drenching
Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 156: Love Is Pain—Kyra and Zane
KYRA I'm storming into his chambers in Moon Wood's fortress. I just learnt the news of a battle between legacies. There are only two legacies I know apart from evil Jai-Blynn. All of Carodia believes the king has gone mad for wanting to fight his brother, who took down an entire pack and turned them to dust. Zeke Van Acker has gained a name for himself in the city, but that is still far from my point. How could he do this to me? We talked the second our boat arrived at the harbour. Actually, we did less talking and more physical activities for the first few hours after meeting again. I was so sure Marelyn and I made the right choice after spending time with him again. My wolf couldn't stop pining for him, but it seems I'm the only one who felt that way. How could he do this us? Zane says after I barge in, "I know you are angry. Kyra, calm down—I can't believe they just let you walk through easily." "It's not news to anyone, including your other mates, that we are together, Zane.

"That child and I can't exist at the same time on this earth, Mare." "Why, Jai?" I frown, calculating the distance with my eyes. I make a jump for it and shield Kinna from his attack with my body. Summoning my powers, I struggle to get a hold of his mind, but the calibre of power coming out of him is not to be underestimated. Now I realise he wasn't kidding back then in that warehouse. "Your little bloodline powers won't work on me. But Mare, you are no longer my concern. Give me your champion, and you can walk away from this alive." I'm shocked that he's willing to bargain. There's something he knows that none of us do. Something that makes this moment more important to him than ever. I scream hard. "Never!" The force of my voice hits him, but he only staggers back by a step, and I had really mustered up strength with that move. How powerful is he really? "Angering me will only make the terms worse, Marelyn!" "You can kill me, but not my child, Jai. I will never let you touc

ZEKE A Day Earlier... I'm standing in front of the mirror, feeling for my now thick beards. It's a new look I've been sporting. Just yesterday, the action series I starred in aired, and the viewing ratings were through the roof. It's a hit. I've always had blockbusters where I starred as the villain, but never have I been portrayed from a protagonist's point of view in one of them. It's unreal. What's also unreal is what tomorrow is. I know Marelyn is due tomorrow. My chest tightens like every other time I've stared at the date or thought about it. I've been distant. I never showed up for our daughter, but it all got to a point where I considered myself unworthy of being in their lives. She may be happy in Carodia with her date from before. Maybe it fleshed into something more. I can't tell, but it's been bugging me at the back of my mind for months. Scarlett helped me understand what those random slip-ups meant over time. Everything is clear to me now. I stare at my reflection

I don't realise that the doorknob has come off. I stare at the piece in my hand. It broke off, but my mind is fixed on their conversation. She's dating now. It's been just two weeks, and she promised that wasn't goodbye. My jaw clenches impossibly in anger. Finding a new path. Bullshit! I block out their voices and lock myself in my study. I throw my head back over the headrest of the desk chair, blowing out my cheeks. So far, the day has been terrible. I'm nervous. I want to storm into Carodia the next second and restructure the idiot fling's face. She's mine. She's fucking mine! The broken doorknob sits on my desk because I don't know what to do with it yet. Suddenly, my mind is made up. I stand on my feet and head to my bedroom. I open my suitcase on my bed, swiping clothes off the rack in the walk-in closet and dropping them inside it. It's easy not to overthink it. But soon, there's a knock on the open door, calling my attention. Scarlett is holding the broken doorknob, eyein
Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 152: Finding A New Path
I've been showing up for appointments with the pack doctor at Blue Silver for the past two weeks since I arrived. He's not who I used to know, and his name is Xavier Scythe. When Ava refused to take me in because of our last encounter, Xavier showed Kyra and I a roof over our head. He is also the next catch as Kyra put it. She wants me to take on his advances and use him to forget all about Zeke. I try. I actually put in effort. He knocks at my door and I open it with a bright smile on my face. "Xavier, how are you?" His hands are locked behind him as he says, "I'm good. How are you?" Xavier runs a nervous hand over his sleeked back long black hair. It's tied up because of how impressively long his hair is. Xavier is a real catch. He's tall and looks hard all over, like a man should, but I don't get that spark from looking at him or anyone else that's not Zeke. Maybe Kyra is right. My world does revolve around only him. "The Blue Silver carnival is coming up. Would you like a p

MARE I see how worried he is. I'm not saying he shouldn't be, but it's another cold truth. She's his forever. I'm the intruder, and I have no place here. We are at the hospital. Scarlett lost her wolf. She's like a human, so I guess that's why we are all concerned because she can't heal. Kyra says, "How can she do this? Overdosing because she wants attention. Jeez." "We don't know that." Drusila chips in from across the waiting room. We are the only ones here at the moment, but it's a hospital people can arrive at any time. Unfortunately, Kyra seems pissed about spending her night here. Zeke is with the doctor. "I'm going to grab a snack." I stand on my feet without glancing at any of them. They still remember how I just cried my eyes out because Zeke made his choice. Now I'm sitting here watching him care for someone else like I wish was only just for me. It's still pure torture. Kyra joins me at the vending machine. I get a chocolate bar while she gets a bag of cheetos. At
Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 150: Breaking Point
************************** My eyes crack open. Daylight shines into my room, but I'm still stuck in last night's pack gathering. Zeke wanted a son who would challenge Zane's throne. A female Alpha will never be accepted to lead Carodia. I'm sad for other reasons than Scarlett. My happy ending keeps drifting far and far away. I wonder if he's angry with me. If this will change everything. Maybe he will finally realise that he won't gain anything from me because I can't even give him a proper heir. I will love our daughter with everything in me because she's a product of our great love. I take a shower, anxious about joining the rest downstairs. Will they see me as a failure? I couldn't protect the first heir, and now I've given them a child they can't accept. A while later, I cross Kyra and Aiden in the hallway, just above the stairs. She spares a broad smile, looking over her shoulder at me. "Hey, Mare! I can't wait to meet our princess."
