Eira;How should I come out plain and tell him about my request? I knew what I saw that day between him and the beast but I didn’t know if they were still worst enemies, or if my fated mate would be happy to betray his brother. Clearing my throat, and made to speak when my mate cut in. “Should we move a little closer to the garden?” He requested once again. He had been requesting for us to step away from the event and we did. We’d walked quite a distance away from everyone but he wasn’t satisfied. He was an introvert and hated noise, ‘according to his words. But I think this spot we were in was perfect. “This is so much we can go, Vorga.” In just the few minutes that I spent with him, we had become so close that I could casually speak to him.“It’s not for my sake, Eira. Your feet hurt, and I can tell by just gazing at them,” he calmly said, and he was right about it. My feet have been burning since I stood with him. I just didn't know how to speak with him about it. But I was glad
Fear and anger surged through me as my body shivered at the words of the beast. My father’s life was involved. Something that got me trapped in this. I wouldn't trade my father’s life for anything because if anything happens to him. Then I was gonna lose my entire family. What would now be the essence of life? The mate bond and my freedom can wait. My family comes first. My wolf roared in my head, trying to take over me as my lips parted to speak. She didn't want me to reject her mate. Her anger sent pain to my head and I held my temples. Unshed tears brimmed my eyes. “Go on. Reject him,” the voice of the beast cut through.My throat tightened as I adjusted my voice to speak. “I, Eira Rowan, rej…”“Rejection not accepted,” Vogar interrupted. “I’m the male and the one in charge. I chose what happens between us.”Shaking my head profusely, “Please accept my rejection. My father’s life is in danger.” My tears finally began to gush down my cheeks.“Nothing will happen to your father,
Alpha Leonardo;Checking my wristwatch continuously and waiting for my pet. I could only imagine what had held her back. I needed her to meet up with me before my disease started to manifest. It had already manifested earlier when I left her in the garden. That was the first time in years it had manifested by that hour of the night. It took me unprepared, and this time, the pain was massive. Unbearable, that I thought I would truly die at that moment. Red, on the other hand, couldn't stand it, and he collapsed. I was littering on the floor, dragging myself on the grass. Seeking help without minding my position as an Alpha. But no one passed by to help me.I dragged myself in the direction of my pet, about to scream out to her for help. But strangely, the more I approached her, the more I felt better. My wounds healed, and Red also regained his strength. I drew even closer to her, but ‘cause of the dark, she didn't notice me on the floor.A very short second when I was a distance awa
Eira;The whole of me quivered in great fear that I had never known existed. My mouth was left agape at the unbelievable sight in front of me - a monster. Massive with furs as black as coal, and eyes that glowed like embers. Its fangs were longer and shaper and saliva droned from its mouth. It looked more like a predator about to attack its prey.The monster roared, tearing and slashing itself with its razor-sharp claws. He was bleeding uncontrollably and the scene looked even more terrifying causing my heart to pound in my chest. The whole of me trembled like leaves in the wind and I fought my body hard to sprint away when I heard him begging for me to help him. The fear in me increased. I turned on my heels and made to flee for my life but a sudden wave of pain that hit my temples made my steps stop dead in their tracks. I held my temples and screamed out in pain. My bones began to crack, my furs sprinting out, my dress ripping, my claws bearing forth, and my memories fading. I co
It was beautiful getting to witness fresh unpolluted air outside of the mansion. I was finally alone after a month. It felt like freedom.I boarded a cab and made my way to the hospital. Seeing my parents was the first most important thing to me.Arriving at the hospital, I rushed into Mother’s ward. A bright grin spread across her face as she set her eyes on me. Her arms were wild open and I rushed into them. We hugged for some minutes and when the hug was finally broken off, I paid attention to my environment. “How are you in a VVIP ward, mother?”“Oh, Eira. Alpha Leonardo paid for this space.”“What do you mean, Mother?”“He paid for all my hospital bills and instructed that I'm taking proper care of,” excitement plastered on her face.Why would he do that? What does he want this time? I knew the beast had never done anything for free. “What about father?” I sat beside Mother.“Your father has resumed gambling. Heard he had sold most of the properties in the house,” she hissed.I
Queasy and a storm of pain welcomed me and I gagged with a winced face. About throwing up for a second time when my eyelashes flickered. My eyes opened.I was in a room but a familiar one.The door opened and a servant brought in a tray containing a glass of water and a supplement. “Alpha ordered me to bring this for your hangover,” she dropped it beside me.“Thank you. You can leave,” I waved my hand slowly for her to leave.“Sorry, Ma'am. He ordered me to stay until you’ve taken the supplement,” she calmly protested.Why would the beast order the servant to get this for me? What was it with him? Well, I wasn’t in no mood for him today.I took the supplement and drank it. My head was so heavy and I tried to force myself back to sleep.My body moved from one edge of the bed to another. The thoughts of Caleb never leaving my memories. The pain felt fresh, and my heart bled. Tears brimmed my eyes, and flowed down my cheeks. I pulled the pillow closer into my arms, and clenched onto it.
Alpha Leonardo;Why was she messing with my head? She knew I fucking despise the sight of Vogar, but she chose to toy with my emotions. She has been getting on my nerves and I wish I could just break her tiny neck with my hand.But hey!! I had to calm down and pretend to be nice to this she-devil. I wish there was no contract. I fucking wish!!! Grrrrrrrr!!! Fuck!!! I let in a deep breath, calming my nerves before responding to her. “I will invite him over.” I couldn't risk her going over to his home. Vogar would never let her return if he got such an opportunity. I was fully aware that he was plotting something, and I trust he planned on using her to his own benefit. All those acts of him being nice to her were just pretense, and I would help reveal his true colors so she would stay away from him.“Today?” She uttered, and my eyes shut momentarily in frustration. “Tomorrow.”“First thing in the morning. Deal?” She suggests. “And you get to spend the night with me. Deal.”Her hands
“I can just return to my room if you don’t want me to come in,” she uttered. I slowly moved to the side, breaking space for her to pass through. My eyes were still fixed on her body. “So what should I do?” She asked.I shut the door and ambled toward her. “You just have to wait for the right time,” I took a tentative step toward my coffee maker and made two cups of coffee for us. Stretching a cup at her, “Have this.” My head also cocked in the direction of my little couch, ordering her to sit.“I don't feel like sitting. When does your monster self….? She cleared her throat. “I mean, when do you start manifesting?”Checking my wall clock, “Soon. You are welcome to keep standing.” I fixed myself on the next couch and sipped my coffee. “Have been meaning to ask, why did I end up naked the last time?” She rushed forward, standing in front of me. My head raised to glance at her and my eyes found her nipples, my throat tightened.“Do you like them?” She asked and I spilled the coffee in
Eira;“Have been searching everywhere for you, Eira. Why are you out here in the cold?” My body jerked hard at the sound of Daisy’s voice. My sight sprinted everywhere. It was dark already. And I was still out here in the garden. How much time has passed?“How did you find me here, Daisy?” I questioned as her hands holding my shoulders, pulled me to my feet. “When I got home and found out you were not home, I called your cell a lot of times, but you didn't pick up. I was scared, Eira. I don’t have your Mother’s contact or the contact of the hospital. I had to follow my gut. I searched the first hospital. Nothing. This was the second. I was about to leave when my nose caught your scent. Are you not cold?” Her hands brushed my arms, serving me warmess.“What time is it?”“5 am,” she responded and I let out a deep breath. Didn't know what to say. I had been here for a long time and I didn't even feel a thing. My emotions are still high, but I will need to wear my coat of control if I do
Following behind Anthony, I could only imagine the bullshit he has under his sleeves. I was in no mood for his nonsense yet my curiosity was getting the best of me.Anthony led us to the topest floor of his club. Have been here a number of God knows how many times and I know the dirty things that happen on this floor. This was a floor for mostly his prestigious men and women. They got the run for their money on this crazy floor and always ended up fulfilled. I’ve had my fair share sometimes. Yeah. Good crazy old days.I couldn't help but beam as I gazed at Anthony. “This was what you wanted me to see?” My fingers slipped into my pockets. “It’s been a while, Brother. I miss us having this fun and forgetting about our troubles.”“I never told you I needed this or I was in any form of trouble.”“Told me? Yeah, you never did. But not in trouble, lies,” he pulled out a stick of cigar, pointing it at me. “You mind?”“I quit smoking, but yes, I do,” I took the stick from him and fixed it
Alpha Leonardo;“What did you say that bastard wanted again from me?” I undid my tie knot.“To have a drink at the club with you. Probably, the two of you will finally sort out your differences,” Liam stated.“I don’t want to sort out any fucking differences. The Marons almost ended my life.”“But Anthony has nothing to do with it. Why punish him over the madness of his Father and brothers?” Liam fixed himself on my couch.Taking off my shirt, “It’s not just about his Father and Brothers. I hate that brait, Anthony, as well. He has always been a thorn in my flesh.” I threw my shirt on the bed.“And you chose to stay in his hotel. Never seen anyone who stays in the hotel of their enemies.”“I’m the Alpha, remember? Besides, I avoided my hotels because of Freya and Aunty Marigold. I don’t want the ladies nagging me,” I reached for my belt and undid it. “You should be grateful you have people who care. My parents never gave a damn about me,” he chuckled hard. “Fuck those old people. The
“What about my Mother?” My heart ran to my throat.“I can’t speak about it over the phone. You’ll have to come down to the hospital.”“Ok. I'm on my way,” I stated and hung up the call. “Daisy, I need to rush down to the hospital,” I handed my uniforms to her, “Help me take them to the laundry.”“What did they say about your Mother? Should I come with you?”“No, Daisy. I’ll meet you at home,” I rushed out of the room.“You’re with your purse, right?” Her voice echoed on my way out.“Yes.” I didn't know that I even grabbed the damn thing.I hurried out of the building. Luckily, I was able to get a cab closer to the entrance. The cab has just dropped off someone. I rushed in and the driver took me to the hospital.Arriving, I almost broke an ankle as my feet hastened into Mother’s ward. She was on the bed, sitting upright, screaming at a nurse in front of her. Mother was about to go into a fistfight when three other nurses held her back. The room was too chaotic for anyone to notice my
I hesitated for as long as I could remember, my mind darting everywhere, trying to figure out if I should do as instructed. Anthony was my boss. This was also my first day at work. A job that I was desperate about. Desperate to keep.Letting out a deep breath, my eyes shut momentarily before my body pivoted. 180 degrees. My hands were still covering my boobs. My gaze moved, meeting his.“Take them off,” his head slanted to the side.“What?” I feigned ignorance.“Your hands. You can’t wear a uniform with your hands covering your boobs,” he stated plainly. My face became red and hot as my hands slowly left my boobs. My boobs bounced at the impact. Anthony threw the uniform over my shoulder. Carefully, he slipped my hands into it, and arranged the uniform properly, knotting the belt at the side. His hands brushed my skin a number of times during this process, but his face held no expression. My heart raced most times when his hand friction with my boobs as he arranged the uniform. Stil
Eira;“Eira, please hurry up. We are already late on our first day at work,” Daisy threw my jeans at me.It was our first day already. A day of new beginnings in our lives. I was still in shock about our paycheck review. Anthony had offered to pay us nine thousand dollars weekly. That was too much for the position assigned to us by Matilda. We were merely housekeepers. The only role Matilda said was fit for us. I had no trouble with it. The same as Daisy. We were grateful to the Goddess for finally giving us a job. “Did you get to eat your breakfast?” I slipped myself into my clothes.“Didn't meet up. Before I got to the kitchen, your father had eaten the portion you left for me.”“What?” My hands locked the zip of my jeans properly. “Why would he have yours after eating his own?” That damn man. He has been so much trouble to me since I returned. I feed him and handle his crazy bills standing in line to be attended to. There were so many debts to be paid all thanks to him. I don’t
Freya;I fucking stared at Vogar, not knowing what to say to him or make of his words. The crazy offer! Should I say ‘How dare he?’ or should I give it a try? The offer sounded great even though it was something I had never imagined would spring out of his lips.Vogar was ready to give me my greatest desire - power. So right I wanted Leo and I had always wished to be the woman he would always choose. But 75% of the reason I wanted him was because I can attain power through him. I will become the most influential lady in the pack. That was a crazy title every ambitious lady would desire. Now, Vogar was ready to give it to me in a platter of gold.“What do you say, Freya?” He called back my attention. “Must we be lovers?” “Yes.”“Why?… A man like you already has tons of women.” Why was Vogar bent on making me one of his stupid ladies?“But I don’t have you, Freya. You’re the woman I’d desired greatly for years. But you were far-reached. This is my opportunity to have you. I also want
Eira;My eyes darted through the office of the strange CEO and back to Daisy’s face. Why did the strange CEO order us to follow him into the restaurant? The most part, his office?The question I’d asked myself repeatedly for over five minutes since Daisy and I entered this office. We were seated right in front of his desk without having any idea why.“Your CVs,” the strange CEO said.“Eira,” Daisy tapped my thigh, calling my attention. “He is asking for our CVs.”“Oh,” I stretched out the files to him. The man behind the CEO took the files and handed them to the CEO. Daisy and I watched as the CEO flipped through our files, his eyes scanning. I lost count of the number of times his brow raised with shock. Seems he has been struck by lightning with each page that he flipped. “Who prepared these CVs?” He finally spoke up after what seemed like forever.“I did,” I said with pride.“You?” His head tilted as he gazed at me properly. The shock from whatever was still evident on his face.
I sent my face to the side window watching the roads as Vogar drove. Never believed I would someday get myself entangled with the black sheep of the family. The one everybody feared and hated because of the dumb shits he always pulled off.But then, he was the only one I could trust to show me the best way of winning Leo over. He knew the best way to get to Leo because they were brothers. But something I still tried to crack my head on, was Leo’s reason for hating his brother so much.Vogar can be a pain in the ass. Every being walking the earth knows that fact. But why does Leo hold extreme hatred toward Vogar? He despised the ground Vogar walked on. There was something more between the brothers. Something only them had an idea about. It was none of my stupid business. Yes, I know that so well. But then, curiosity. That bitch always had the best ways of getting to me. “How is Leo?” Vogar broke the awkward silence that lingered in the car.“I doubt you’ve been buzzing my phone for m
