Daisy;The doctor explained some medical terms to Gamma Liam and left some drugs with me before calling it a day. Gamma Liam saw him off. I sat by the bedside of Eira. I reached for her hand and placed it on my lap, stroking it. Thanks to the doctor, she looked more alive now than the way she was brought in here. But I wish she could just open her eyes right now, and get back to her feet.“Eira, can you hear me,” I pulled my face closer to her ear. “Do you know Alpha Leonardo came here for your sake? I was shocked to see the worries in his eyes when he looked at you. I don’t have an idea what it is with him, but I think he cares about you,” I whispered.This was one of the things I couldn't wait to fill her in when she finally awoke. Believe me when I say I'm still in shock over the fact Alpha Leonardo was here. Did she actually entertain him when he was ill, as a means of gratitude, he decided to come to check up on her. Eira you have to wake up and put my curiosity to rest.Gamma
Alpha Leonardo;“What do you mean, Aunt?” I gripped her arm and pulled her to the side. “Don’t start with your jokes. You just arrived at the Packhouse.”“Have I ever joked with stuff like this?” She smiled hard.“You joke with everything, Aunt, and today is not a great day for me.” Checking my wristwatch, “I have a meeting with those old men. You know how they can be. I need to leave now.” I kissed her on her forehead. Without waiting to hear more of what she was about to say, I stormed out of the office. Aunt Marigold could be a lot of things and I thought after all these years that she left our pack to be in another pack, she had adjusted a little. But seeing her right now, I could tell time did nothing to her.But yeah, I missed her so much. She has been my backbone ever since my parents were killed. She and some of the family elders trained and coached me into the man I am today. I held her in high esteem. Arriving at the courtroom, my Council of Elders were already seated as
Eira;I sat mutely upright on the bed as Daisy rushed towards me. She was so excited to see me awake. But was I excited to be awake?….. Hell no. It was best I went back to my permanent sleep rather than dealing with this thought that flooded my head - the kiss with the beast. How did our lips meet and lock together? There was passion in his eyes when he did it, and his hand held me so close to him. He refused to let go until when his evil Beta walked in. Was the kiss a mistake, or intentional?I don’t know….. I don’t know.My teeth bit my lower lips as the thought consumed me. I needed to be sure of my stand on this madness. I needed to know if that kiss was a reflection from the healing process or if he intentionally kissed me. Ay, I knew he fell back on the bed with his eyes shut when his Beta walked in but then….I still needed to figure out what it was in my head. I’d been trying to make the whole scene make sense to me even while I was locked up in that dungeon but I could
“How was it? Did you enjoy feeling my lips?” He stood up and sat on the bed. I made to draw away, but he held my arm, yanking me intimately with him. Our bodies, a few inches apart. We caught each other’s eyes.“Tell me,” he whispered.My throat dragged as I gulped down my spit. My body made to adjust from him, but his hand gripped my waist, and our bodies brushed against each other's. His eyes darted through my face, and it felt like he could see right through my soul.“Do you want me to force the words out of your mouth? ‘Cause I will.”“It felt unreal, and like a nightmare,” the words broke out of my lips.“Then why didn't you stop me?” His head arched, tilting nigher. My heart raced like a marathon, about to explode. A wave of intense unexplainable feelings coursed through my veins as his breath and scent began to feel intimate.“I couldn't,” I breathed the words.“Why?”“Because….” I swallowed hard. “It felt so unreal.” I moved my eyes lower, and they settled on his lips. The ur
“How did you find out,” I asked in a faint voice.“I heard from Gamma Liam when he was on the phone with someone who mentioned it.”“Hmmmm,” my lips tucked in my mouth, I try to fight back the tears that filled my eyes. “It's good news that Alpha is getting married soon. There is going to be a celebration. I will get the chance to enter the mansion once again,” Daisy’s body jerked with excitement.The tears in my eyes dropped down my cheeks and I snapped my face to the side. Why was I feeling this way? What was wrong with my stupid heart that it kept feeling pain over the fact the beast would be married in days’ time? He was engaged - I knew that.I would get a lot of my freedom - I knew that.We were mutual enemies who hated ourselves - I knew that.He was a bastard who had zero regard for anyone, especially an Omega like me - I knew that.So why was my heart breaking? Why did it feel like I couldn't breathe and might collapse from this pain?“Are you alright, Eira,” Daisy tried t
My eyes darted in the direction of the hanging little wall clock. It was past midnight already. The right time for us to make a move.Tapping on Daisy’s body, “Hey, Girl. Wake up. We need to get ready.”Her hands gripped her messy hair as she stiffed upright like a ghost. Her eyes were plunging with sleep. “Right now?” Her fingers lazily scratched the side of her neck.“This is the perfect time. Just pave my way to the exit, and you can return to your peaceful sleep,” I stood up from the bed and picked up my uniform.“You intend to go alone?” She jumped up from the bed.“Yeah. Why?” My eyebrows knitted a bit.“It's gonna be difficult for you alone. I want to tag along.”Shaking my head profusely, “You can’t, Daisy. One of us needs to be in the quarter and cover up for the other. With that, none of us will get caught,” I stripped out of the night robe.My words made her wear a mask of misery. I understood how excited she loved being around me, but I had already caused her a lot of trou
“How did you find me?” His feet finally made some moves closer to me, halting in front. “Why didn’t you reach out, that you wanted to see me? I would have driven my way to come pick you up.”“I don’t have that grace with my new position. You know Alph….” Trying to explain when his arms spread and he wrapped them around my body. Our bodies pressed against each other.“Don’t stress it, Mate. Thanks for showing up. This will be my best night ever,” his palm stroked my hair. “Let's go in,” his hand rolled from my arm to my wrist, and he tugged me behind him. The mobsters guarding the gate bowed their heads as we walked through into the villa. The ambience of the mansion screams wealth, luxury, and authority. The atmosphere felt warm and welcoming.Vogar led us inside the mansion. My eyes darted around every corner of the house as my mouth hung open. His home was graciously looking and I loved it.With the palms of Vogar resting on my shoulders, they slightly directed me into lowering my
Vogar hand palmed my right boob, squeezing it. He reached for my buttons, about to undo it. I tried to sway his hand off me. But I was very weak. I think the alcohol was kicking in. “Please, stop….you’re hurting me,” I struggled to free my wrist but it was impossible. He held them even more tightly. He drew his face closer, his lips locked with mine, roughly kissing me. His tongue, trying to dig into my mouth but I bite it hard.“Fuck!!” He pulled his mouth away from mine. His fist raised, about to hit me.’I flinched in fear as my face turned to the side in panic. My eyes shut as my body froze, expecting the hard hit from him.Seconds turned into minutes, and nothing struck me. Slowly, my eyes blinked open, and saw how his fist hung in the air. I watched as his expression twisted. His eyes burned with fierce inner turmoil, his brow furrowed in a deep, troubled scowl.He looked like a man who was fighting a demon inside of him. What was he?My heart rose and fell in greater fear as
Eira;Loud music, getting louder with each passing second. My eyes sprinted in the direction of Sophia as she returned from wherever she went. “What took you so long?” I asked her.“I had a drunk idiot block my way. I almost broke his balls if not for the guards outside. What will you ladies like to drink?” She took her seat on the bar stool between Daisy and me. “Anything will be fine. But the liquor shouldn't be so strong. Besides, who did you speak with over the phone? You look very excited. Did your Father call and sort things out with you?” Daisy questioned.“My father?.. That will be very boring. Was on the phone with someone interesting and if this person decides to grant my request, the rest of the day will be great fun,” a nasty grin displayed on Sophia's lips. What was she up against this time? Sophia was a very unpredictable one. I hope she wasn’t up to something crazy. “Whoever you went to speak with, I pray he grants your request because you seem too excited,” my body a

Alpha Leonardo;“Is everything needed packed in the luggage?” I asked Liam.“Yes, Leo. Sure, moving to a new country is a good idea? You’ve not spoken to Max or your Luna about it. It’s still very strange to me that you want to leave the pack. You’re not one who loves to travel, not even for bigger events. What's eating you up, Leo? You lost so much weight and also interest in a lot of things. Have known you for ages but I've never seen you this way. There is something going on. Something you are keeping away from Max and I. We can’t help if you don’t speak up,” Liam stood in front of me, his hands resting on his waist.What does my Gamma want me to say to him? How will they see me if they find out all these running away was because of a she-wolf?A she-wolf who wasn't my mate. Someone who was meant to be a servant. Serve me, and nothing else. She wasn’t in my world. But it was funny how the heart could be deceiving, wanting something that was never his. I’ve heard words of what the
“Thank you,” excitement filled my voice. I rushed toward the store room and returned the equipment. Showing Anthony a smile once again even when his eyes were solely fixed on his system, before I rushed out of his office.This was a good one and Daisy can not wait to hear it. I’d thought the permission was gonna be as hard as trying to move a mountain from its position. Never expected Anthony to easily grant me access. However, there was a plan B. Daisy and I had thought of speaking to Matilda if Anthony proved difficult. But here it was. Easier than I could have ever imagined. With my cheeks still dragged from ear to ear, my feet hopped, my body swayed as I hummed the sweetest melody ever. Arriving in the staff room, Daisy was already in, waiting for me. “Are you done already?” my brow arced as I stared right at her.“No. There are so many rooms to clean but I was able to speak to the other staff. I lied,” her finger dug into her hair. Her eyes darted everywhere but not my face.“
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
