After five years together, I, Vesta Blake, find out Lucien, my Alpha mate, has canceled our anniversary dinner date to spend time with Charmaine, the Beta’s daughter he’s been close to since childhood. The betrayal sinks in as I confront him, his dismissive response shattering the love I’ve held onto for so long. Deciding enough is enough, I break up with him and reclaim my independence. But Alpha Lucien starts to start chasing me, craving me even after our break-up and rejection.
View MoreMy gape turned into a loud gasp. "You...I asked you who you are. And now you just told me you no longer go by that name?!""I'm Alpha Rasmus now." He said with a hint of amusement.I stomped my foot, the leaves beside me rippling. "That's so far from your actual name.""Better to let a rose be known by its thorns than its red petals," Roland said from my right. The cursed troll wore a black suit with a bloody crimson necktie. His face, though monstrous, radiates some sort of kindness within it."Ah." I scoffed. "Whatever." I nudged my brother by the elbow. "You're still a Jacob to me.""Oh, I always will. Only you and Roland alone are allowed to call me that." Jacob shot Roland a sharp, meaningful look."What?" I furrowed my brows.But the two only shrugged, traversing the pavement before us. The garden was huge and wide, perhaps twice or three times more than my apartment room. The calm balmy noon breeze set my unbound hair swaying.The movement caught Roland's eyes. We both paused,
To say the garden is beautiful is an understatement. It was beyond breath-taking. I felt out of place with the place’s magnificent architecture and design.With my bright red dress, my brother's eyes immediately found mine. His hard expression earlier melted away and is now back to the brother who always protected me from our father’s merciless violence.I was actually now more comfortable approaching him when I noticed someone slid from the cover of lush roses from Jacob’s right: Roland.He smiled, and the sky seemed to brighten even more.I frowned, but my face betrayed me as Jacob and Roland surely noted the reddening of my cheeks.A flicker of sorrow crossed my brother’s face briefly. But it instantly vanished as soon as he looked between us and Roland, replaced by a secret smile. “When you left, everything changed, Farrah. Not just how I looked,” he waved a hand to himself then to the troll beside him, “or to Roland’s arrival.”He paused and sighed. “I'm sorry you have to find ou
Though I’m born and used to being a direct relative to an Alpha, I never received such luxurious treatment like this.I only did now that my brother is an Alpha. My Alpha—the new Alpha I shall look up to and answer to.Back when my father was the Alpha of the Dark Moon Pack, back when he was still alive, I didn't even have my own room. I rarely feel an Alpha’s daughter under his reign. I rarely receive the warmth of a father’s love.The water in the bathtub was cool and soothing as I sank deeper. Not too cold and not too hot.Drowned in deep thoughts, I first thought someone was calling me from the bedroom. I shook my head, thinking it was just my imagination.It was just ten minutes of relishing and letting my body soak in the delicious waters when the door loudly opened. Each step he took echoed with anger.He shouted, “You!” The stranger pointed one threatening finger to me. His tone was more malicious than Adrianna’s. “How dare a maid use my room without my permission—”I was stil
Seven years ago...They have come. The Black Sun Pack has come.And even when I knew they would be attacking at the exact day and at the exact hour, I didn't tell my brother.I couldn't tell my brother.Maybe it was the coward in me that didn't dare step up for my pack. Or maybe it was my father's selfishness in beating and abusing me first rather than facing his enemies head-first. He didn't even know they're coming right into his home.I immediately sprinted away from the packhouse. But everywhere I look, chaos meets my eyes: the burning of houses, Betas fighting the Black Sun Pack's Betas, Omegas being dragged by their Betas-I wouldn't be surprised if my father will not see the dawn tomorrow. Or even have a head to do so.Perhaps this is how fate unravelled how my vengeance to my father should be: leading the enemy right on my father's doorstep, my own pack be damned.But my brother..."My brother will survive." That was what I told myself, what I convinced myself.He will survive
There they are. I finally caught them red-handed.Heather and Adrianna. Entangled in our bed sheets. His hands in her ass while Adrianna was facing the bed frame as he fucked her from behind.These cheaters hadn't even heard me enter my own apartment.A moment later, Heather found me standing by the door. He immediately pulled away but Adrianna's moan and laughter became louder."Farrah, babe-" Alpha Heather started.But I shook my head and cursed at them. "Fuck you."I couldn't even gasp or cry a tear. And the diamond engagement ring on my finger felt like a joke.This is really the right choice: to leave Heather and his seven years of 'love' behind and return to the past I ran away from.I'm gonna return to my brother. And this time, I'm not bringing anything with me.The cool night air slapped me into the bitter reality that the time has come that I finally face my own demons."Where are your things, Farrah?" Roland's mouth quivered to the side."No. And I don't have the guts to ge
"Jacob?" I barely heard my own voice with its softness. Uttering his name made my tears worse. "How..." My throat bobbed, "How are you?""I'm fine, Farrah." He briefly paused, and then, "How about you? Are you okay? You sound...upset."Even seven years later, he can still tell how I feel with the way I speak. "I'm-" I shook my head. There's no use in lying again to the brother I just contacted now. "I am upset. I'm not okay.""Tell me how you became upset."I gripped my phone tighter even with my shaking. "Running away is something I realized I'm not good at. I want to come back home, Jacob." Not really a lie, but not the whole truth."Come home." It was more of a plea than a suggestion. "Come home, Farrah."Home? So does that mean...the Dark Moon Pack survived the Black Sun Pack's attack? Does that mean my home survived the flames?"I-Okay, Jacob."Jacob has no hesitation. No further questions. Just the pure urge to see me again in our pack. I don't know if I should call him by his n
The diamond ring on my finger felt heavier than Adrianna's words. I opened my mouth to say something, but Adrianna is already striding away. I was left alone with the weight of her words crushing my heart. Perhaps I was wrong. All it takes to destroy me and my future is from the words of a woman I just met minutes ago. Did I just run away from a pack of chaos and jump right in the pack that has bombarded me with betrayal? I think this is really my punishment for all those years: from Alpha Heather's betrayal to Adrianna's outright claim of my fiance. I'm finally doomed after all these years of hiding and running away. I wiped my tears with the back of my hand and went to wash my hands, my face, and even fixed my hair. I'm not going to act like I'm defeated in front of Heather. Adrianna might have won with the way of her words, but I'm still standing here. Alpha Heather will still come home to me. The diamond ring around my finger proves it. Or maybe it's the fancier leash he c
Adrianna's welcome party is a hell disguised as a paradise. "Thank you for coming here, Farrah." As Heather smiled and thanked me, I couldn't find that trace of wicked laugh or cruel sentiments towards me yesterday. Nothing. It just disappeared, or perhaps it all retreated behind this mask he's currently wearing. "Thank you for changing your mind," he added. "Well, I guess no is not an acceptable answer," I jokingly said, but in reality, it really felt like it: I've got no choice but to attend. Perhaps this is my punishment for running away from an almost dying pack and leaving all of it behind to my older brother Jacob. I don't even know if he's the Alpha now or if the Dark Moon Pack has been dissolved to be one with the Black Sun Pack. "Smile, babe." Alpha Heather's purr tickled my ears. His hand rested on my back, just above my ass as we entered the hotel Adrianna had prepared for us. His touch, that used to be affectionate and romantic, felt like a touch of malice and ruin.
Short Novel's Blurb:Left by her engaged Alpha for his first love, Farrah decides to return home to her home pack where she runs away seven years ago. But upon returning home, she found out her brother is now the Alpha of her pack and the pack that tried to attack them seven years ago. Farrah, even when her heart is broken by an Alpha once, found herself drawn to the mysterious right-hand of her brother: the cursed troll named Roland. ***Chapter 1 Seven years of love with Alpha Heather misted away like the smoke of a dying fire. I stood outside their private room, the one where he and his friends are catching up. Apparently, it wasn't just a simple catch up. When it was supposed to be me to surprise him that I managed to finish early at my job at the pack's hospital, it was me who was surprised instead. "Isn't Farrah a burden to you? You've kept her far longer than a rebound girl should be." I knew th
Five years have been nothing now that he had chosen her over me.The full moon outside the window could have been the perfect company for me and Alpha Lucien’s anniversary dinner date had it not been for Charmaine—the Beta’s daughter who captured his heart ever since they were young. For once, I thought they were just friends. But it seems, I’m the one who looks like vying for Alpha Lucien’s attention.My phone vibrated again. Another picture of them circulated online, this time more intimate than the one I saw earlier. I never thought I’d be spending me and my mate’s anniversary like this: staring at the picture of Charmaine and Alpha Lucien kissing her cheeks in a bright and jolly background.The pack is becoming more involved in our relationship too, commenting with things like “Yay, Alpha Lucien and Charmaine? My dream couple!” and “Marry her already, Alpha Lucien! Dump your girlfriend somewhere and leave her be!”I read Charmaine’s caption on her post again, every word makes me n...
