ALEXANDER

“What did you just say to me?” The next question that slipped right out of her mouth and made me realize that I'd indeed slipped up.

Alaina jerked away from me, her thick brows furrowing in disgust. I could tell that she was mad at me, but I couldn't help it. I couldn't help how I felt around her, the kind of feelings that built up inside of me when she was near.

I said nothing, still leaning against the table as she spoke. I could smell her. Her sweet scent had filled the room and I had several thoughts running around in my head. Now that Logan was out of the picture, they were not bound by fate in the first place.

Her wolf had no ties to him, which might give me a chance but first, I needed to straighten my reputation. This gorgeous woman didn't like me very much.

“Are you…hitting on me?” She asked though her eyes were locked on mine and she blinked repeatedly as though that was the most preposterous thing her eyes have ever spoken. Alaina laughed. “You're not only a bul

    ALAINA I absolutely hate him and I didn't want anything to do with him, ever! What? Money? Did I look like some starved wench who could just do his bidding all because they were in some kind of financial pit? It stung that he would even think that way of me. I worked in the packhouse, so what? That was in the past! I wasn't the same person as those times but he just wouldn't see it that way. I had a thousand emotions running up my head as I glanced out through the window of the vehicle and the landscape blurred by. I might not be able to get a job, and I didn't care at all. If it meant I could stay away from Alpha Alexander, then the pack and their gossip might as well go to hell. It was barely ten minutes with him and my heart was still pounding like I'd just run a marathon and collapsed in the middle of another. And that particular scene haunted me. Why did he have to hold my hand that way? Why did he have to touch me and make me feel all those sensations that I'd been trying

    ALAINA“Fifty thousand viewers!” I chimed, unable to keep it to myself any longer! “That's just mind-blowing! Thank you for fifty thousand! Thank you so much!”I furiously tapped my feet as I glanced at the heart section and it continued to flood in without bounds. That was thousands of dollars right there! Who would be grinning in this situation?It was all happening so fast that I felt like I could tear up. All these comments! All these people, they were here to listen to me. Here, I wasn't just an invisible Omega with a tragic fate that destroyed ‘everything she touched' like they always said. I didn't know how it was my fault I was born on a moonless night or that my mother had died immediately after I was birthed, but right now, nome of that mattered! I wasn't cleaning the Alpha's shoes or kissing anyone's ass!I wasn't walking on eggshells around a maddening mother in law or spending late night in bikinis waiting for a drunk husband to lie with me! All those eras have passed.T

  • After Divorce, I Became A Top Streamer!    015: She came back

    ALEXANDERThe rattling sound of a knock hit my door and my head shot in the direction as I adjusted my tie and grabbed my jacket from the hanger next to me. A groan threatened to rip out of me. “Breakfast is served, Dear Alpha.”Dear Alpha? I grimaced, almost tasting the disgust on my tongue. I recognized that voice immediately. It was that of the puppet from LunaHive that our families had brainwashed to come here and seduce me. How woefully she was failing at it. I wondered what she was hoping to achieve on this ‘tour’ of hers, as I planned not to change my mind.“I'll pass.”I heard a soft giggle. “The Luna had said that'll be your response. I'm not permitted to leave until you say yes,” She said boisterously again. Well, LunaHive was known for being bossy, especially her father. There was no doubt that a tinge of control would drop into her DNA too.“Then I hope you like the view, Anya” I responded tersely, moving swiftly across the room to grab my suitcase, then I opened the d

    ALAINA“No, I'm busy, pumpkin.” He winked, smiling with his eyes and I just gawked, deadpanned. His flirty expression was immediately washed away by a stoic one.And he just looked away, turning on his heels. Just like that. There goes my dream! “A-Alpha….”My brain screeched to a halt and he walked past me like I was no different from a piece of furniture. My heart sank. What did I expect from him, especially after everything I'd said to his face?I was stupid to have come here, but it wasn't an opportunity I wanted to miss. I watched him strut into the lobby like the whole world was his runway. His aura was nothing short of majestic and the brown, tailored suit he had on amplified his charisma.Alpha Alexander didn't spare me one last glance and I just stood there like a fool, watching everything slip from my grip and cursing him internally. That asshole. I heard footsteps behind me and looked back to see who it was. It ended up being a familiar face— Alexander's chauffeur who I'd

    ALEXANDER“What rules?” Alaina asked as she cocked her head and I grinned, feeling the adrenaline shoot through my veins. Her presence was some kind of drug and it did so much to me!Great question. What rules? I hadn't thought of any. This was just another petty way to get through to her. No doubt she still hated me for my foolishness of the past.There were no rules, but it would be absolutely devastating to just see Alaina leave so early. I hadn’t even decided what this company was going to be, especially in affiliation to mine but if it, in any way, guaranteed that I would have Alaina by my side then I'd hold on to it tight.My lips wouldn't stop spreading and I continued to gawk at her like she was a price— some kind of trophy that I could not afford to reach. The question sat on her face and I desperately tried to come up with something.“First, Rule number, you're aware that it's the position of a PA, right?”Alaina shuffled in her seat. “Not…the secretary?” She inquired with m

The lights flickered once, twice, and then went out, plunging us into darkness."No, no, no!" I yelled, my voice echoing off the metal walls as I frantically felt my pockets for my phone. But it wasn't there. I had left it in his office, on his desk, in my haste to get into the tour he proposed.Jeez! “I'm not with it, my home. My phone, I didn't bring it with me,” I complained, unable to see a thing. I could sense him but not where he stood or what he was doing.It was so stuffy in her that it made my stomach jerk! “What do we do? What do we do?!” Why did it seem like I was the only one panicking? Alpha Alexander's calm voice cut through my panic. "Alaina, calm down. We'll be out of here soon."“Calm down?

    ALEXANDERAlaina wouldn't even hide her discomfort or perpetual disgust for me. Her nose wrinkled as she turned to me, “Uh, nothing?”Nothing? I already heard half the discussion and I was mad that anyone would think she was still in any kind of relationship with Logan— that fool! I seethed unreasonably as I eyed Sarah. The lady in question looked at me and then instantly brought her gaze lower. “A-Alpha Alexander! Good day to you sir, what brings you by?”This question again! John hadn't officially introduced me as the new CEO since the papers were still in the works, but Alaina shouldn't know that. I'd love to avoid questions. But that might be too late to avoid now, seeing as she was already throwing me a questioning look.“You seem behind on recent information, Miss…” My eyes flicked to her ID tag. “Sarah. This company is owned and financed by yours truly. While my P.A here…” I glanced at Alaina who still looked utterly confused. “Is divor—”“Sarah? I'll see you around, okay? Th

    ALAINAFinally! I settled into the plush couch with a groan and I felt a sense of relief dawn me. “We're done! I smell like wood but it's worth it!’Finally, I had a place to call my own – a place where I could escape the chaos of my life. Well, not all but a reasonable amount of it. I still had to work with chaos himself, as his personal assistant but as long as he didn't infiltrate my personal life, I was fine.Lorraine appeared from the kitchen with a cup of orange juice in her grip and she smiled at me, her eyes shining with warmth. “Tell me about it. I have to take a shower before leaving, I can't have Lucan smelling all this sweet and whatnot.”She sat next to me and I sniffed playfully, “Oh yeah, before he wants a divorce!” That word just left a bitter taste in my mouth and it reminded me of Logan so much that I could punch the hair, or my head for making more pictures of him. “We're not even married, silly…”I shrugged, “Well, you should…”Lorraine grimaced, it was impossibl

    I took a deep breath, my fingers interlocked with Lorraine's as I walked out. It felt as though with every step I took, my heart beat even faster. As we approached the grand staircase, I saw a well-dressed Damon patiently waiting for me, and my heart began to race. The anticipation of the ball weighed heavily on me, and a sense of unease gnawed at my insides. Damon bowed respectfully the moment we got to where he stood. "Luna," he murmured. "The Alpha instructed me to lead you to the banquet hall, where the ball will take place." “I don't know, Damon. Are you the one to come pick me up? Shouldn't you be with Alexander? You are his best man for today, remember?” I asked, managing a smile, even though there was not a reason to. “Yes,” he mouthed. “The best man of the groom is meant to bring his wife to the ball.” I replied with a nervous "Okay," and slipped my hand into the waiting crook of his elbow. Then I allowed him to guide me down the stairs. His firm, comforting presence wa

    ALAINA In the large pack's living room, I gazed at Lorraine who made a gesture with her hand. On second thought, I turned to look at the man I am in love with - my husband-to-be, Alexander as he was on his feet, walking towards the door of a room not so far from the spot. After a few days since Alexander popped the question, he believed in his heart that it would make some sense to see his mother - the old Luna who lives in his pack. Ever since then, I have thought about nothing but being accepted, or rejected. “Nothing is happening, girl,” Lorraine called out to me, who woke up from my thoughts. “You are too good to be rejected, or don't you know?” “I don't know, Lorraine—” I mouthed. “I was an Omega Wolf the last time I checked. Why won't I be rejected? I want to know why. That the man I love accepted me does not mean the other members of his pack and family will not reject me.” Just then, a door opened. I jumped to my feet, and so did Lorraine. What should I say?

    ALEXANDER I hopped in the car after several thoughts, making up my mind on what to do this time around. There was no way I would lose a good, better and at the same time best woman because of this—nonsense! I heaved a sigh and started the engine, driving out of the compound the very next moment. Into the streets of the city, I went. Although my car did not look like it had issues, I believe it did and this was none other reason than the fact that it was slow. Slower than ever. “Don't fuck me up!” I yelled, stopping my drive and heaving a sigh - catching my breath and starting all over after muttering a prayer that the moment and uncalled meeting with Alaina would go perfectly well. What if she doesn't want me any longer? What if this was the end of everything for us both? I wondered with a grimace planted on my countenance, realizing also that I had caught up with the estate that has her house built in it. Soon enough, I was at her gate. How do I get in? I wondered

    ALEXANDERIt stuck to my brain. Alaina's face was red with humiliation as she turned and ran into the packhouse, disappearing from view. “Is this all you've finally become?” I snarled at my mother. Is this it?”The camera flashes were enough to blind one. It was that level of crazy! This would hit headlines and news houses in seconds.“No!” She tried to reach for me and held my hand. “You don't understand! This…is insane! That woman has bewitched you!”“Luna…” Damon called out to her. “I think it's best you go in for now. This isn't the best time to be out here, if you know what I'm saying…”“No, I don't know what you're saying!” She snapped at him. “My son is trying to gamble his life and the destiny of the entire pack away and all you are about is all I say? If this happens, it affects you too! Your sister is perfect for him. Why wouldn't he just see that?”“Take her in,” I ordered Damon. I knew what to do. I might as well fuck everything up for everyone. I didn't give a damn.Not

    ALAINA“Alaina?” A voice echoed from behind us, and the familiar tone of that voice sent dread all the way to my stomach. I could feel my heart thrumming in my chest as my eyes drifted from Alexander.The Luna? I turned around slowly, and saw her standing there with obvious disapproval on her face, and scorn as she stared at me. “You're a streamer?" she spat, as if the word itself was dirty.Of course it was. To her the word was just as filthy as I was. Even the way she looked at me made me feel so small. Her hatred for me gleamed in those eyes of hers as her gaze shot from Alexander to me. “Answer me. Is everything I just heard true?”I nodded, feeling a defensive flush rise to my cheeks, “But I can explain. It's not—”“It’s not what,” she cut me off, her voice rising in indignation. "I don't care what it is, but just the fact that you're parading yourself online, and flaunting yourself for who-knows-how-many strangers to see! It's shameful. You should be ashamed of yourself, Alaina

    ALAINA“Alaina?”My name had never fallen so heavily from a person's mouth and I looked up at Alexander. What the hell was he doing? There were eyes everywhere, people waiting for me to take a wrong step and my identity wound into the internet as it was all they were here for in the first place.My heart was thumping in my chest and I didn't know what to do. My hands wouldn't stop trembling and my knees buckled like they were made of jelly.I tried to free myself from his grasp but Alexander didn't have any intention to let go and I also didn't want to admit— ever— that I was Queen Of Dawn. Not to him, not this way! Not right now.Not like this. If I as much as uttered a word, my cover would be completely blown! Right now I wasn't so sure what he knew so I had to play it safe, but how? The veil was enough protection for my face, not to mention I had a mask on too.“Alaina?” He crouched a little like he wanted to peek through but I turned my face away immediately, letting out an angry

    Alexander I felt a sudden jolt of restlessness overtake me as I sat there, shrinking into my seat with boredom as well as disinterest as I watched the women parade around me, and flashing flirty smiles that did nothing but irk me. I wished they would just stop already. I adjusted in my seat, trying to keep my calm and get through today as it was expected of me but even that was becoming more and more difficult by the moment. I didn't want to be here. Neither did I have any interest in any of these women here, and normally that wouldn't matter. But it did. It did. I couldn't stop the restlessness inside of me, I couldn't stop wanting to get out of this hall, and escape all these women that were nothing like her. It was upsetting. Alaina was the only thing on my mind, the only woman that had occupied all the seats in my thoughts, and I didn't have space for anyone else. I couldn’t stop thinking about her or seeing her everywhere I looked, and it was such a torment. I tried not

    ALAINAI stood before the sea of cameras, a voice shouted. "Is she really Queen Of Dawn? She's a fake!”The words cut through me like a knife, making my heart skip a beat. I battled nerves, trying to shove off the feeling of being a fake. I forced a smile and waved, trying to appear confident, but my hands trembled slightly.The crowd erupted in a chorus of cheers and chants, their voices echoing off the walls. "We love you, Queen Of Dawn!" "You're our true queen!" "Queen Of Dawn, Queen Of Dawn!" “I hope the Alpha picks you!”The adoration was overwhelming, making my eyes prick with tears. I felt like I was living a lie, but the crowd's enthusiasm was infectious.But amidst the adoration, a reporter pushed forward, microphone in hand. "Queen Of Dawn, can I get a word with you?" she asked, her voice piercing above the din.The guard protecting me stepped forward, trying to block the reporter. "I'm afraid that's not possible," he growled, his eyes flashing with warning.But I inte

    ALEXANDERI was no different from a statue in my own home, dressed like a mannequin by the roadside for an activity that my entire body rejected. It wasn't funny at all.The front of the mirror had been my home for longer than I can remember. It felt like the kind of hell I could taste on my tongue and it wouldn't discontinue.Even right now, I was standing before a mirror. This morning the ball was colder than usual, a stark contrast to what I would be feeling if I cared a bit about whatever the hell was going on here.Rather, I was tired of it. Way exhausted that a thousand sighs had slipped out of my mouth in just minutes. I stood in front of the mirror, my personal stylist adjusting my navy blue suit. IIt was a classic, well-fitted outfit with a subtle sheen that should have made me feel confident. Should. It did the exact opposite of that. The cufflinks, silver and detailed, were the finishing touch. Yet, I found myself distracted, barely noticing the stylist’s careful moveme
