Thank you for reading. I know I promised two chapters but I suddenly fell ill. I'm not a hundred per cent yet but I'll try to update what I can.
Reece. For the first time in my life, I was defeated during a sparring session and it was done by a sexy as fuck female warrior. Rose Carter is a formidable warrior. Ever since she joined the team, she had done exceptionally well until she was promoted to head female warrior and I wasn’t surprised when Rex made her one of the future Queen’s bodyguards. She deserves it. Her skills are up to par with the strongest male warrior in the pack. She’s not stronger than me but she still knocked me down with one blow to my head. Zane had asked me to join him for a drink in the City but I didn’t expect him to come with other people. I was shocked and kind of ashamed to see Rose after recalling how she knocked me down three weeks ago and broke my nose. I have been avoiding her ever since. ~Flashback: Three weeks ago.~ I am addressing the new recruits today. As soon as werewolves interested in becoming warriors get their wolves, they must join the team and begin their training until they
Rex. I plan to ask Gianna if she would allow me to mark her. I want to get rid of the contract so that we can be real mates from now on. It’s a risk I’m taking but one I’m willing to take. I love her. Heart, body and soul. I know she's been hurt by her fated mate and is probably scared of love like I once was but I'll reassure her that I'll never hurt her. She returns from the ladies’ but something’s wrong. Her face is ashen and she looks disturbed. Frightened even. She sees me and forces a smile that doesn’t reach her eyes. “Let’s go.” I frown, grabbing her shoulders and making her look at me. “What’s wrong? Did something happen in the ladies’ room?” Something akin to fear flits through her eyes and my eyebrows furrow at this. “N-no. Nothing happened. I just want to go home. I’m tired now.” I nod and reach for her hand before walking out of the club. The other guys will find us once they are done having fun. We reach the bike and I lean over to kiss her but she evades
Gianna. “Hello, Gia. It’s me. Your father.” My breathing hitches and my heart races when I hear his voice. “D-dad? How did you get my number?” I feel the knots in my stomach tighten as dread creeps into me. I was afraid of my father. He was supposed to be my protector but he was the one who hurt me the most. A parent is supposed to look out for their pup. To defend, provide, teach and support them. To love them no matter their form because they made them. How can you abandon someone you helped make? Even if it wasn't from love but a pup has a part of both parents living in them. How could he bear to see me suffer? Did he not love me? He let the pack and his mate bully me. He abandoned me because I wasn't what he was expecting. But what hurt me more were the injuries he inflicted on me. The abuse I suffered from his kicks broke me till this very day. I can’t help but wonder why he’s calling me. Is it because I am now close to Rex, the future Alpha King? His chuckle breaks me
Rex. “Alpha, where have you been? We’ve been looking for you.” Reece and Zane say the moment they see me and I pause when I see the worried looks on their faces. A sense of unease settles in the pits of my stomach as I think of the worst. “What’s wrong? Did something happen?” My stomach twists when they evade my gaze and I know something is definitely wrong. “Speak!” I growl. “The Luna has gone missing and we’ve received a note,” Zane reports. Fear creeps into me at their words. I feel numb as they hand me the familiar note and when I read it, my whole world comes crashing down on me. ‘Follow the clues if you want to save her. Come alone. Bring your Beta. She’s dead. Bring your warriors and leave them to lurk in the darkness. She’s dead.’ A menacing growl rips out of me as I glare at my two most trusted men. Where the fuck were they when Gianna was being kidnapped? “How did this happen? Why didn’t no one protect her?” I snarl viciously, anger threatening to consume me.
Gianna. Looking at the masked man in front of me, a sharp pang of pain hit my chest when realization dawned on me that my father used my yearning for my mother to lure me out. The knots in my stomach became stronger. This betrayal felt like a powerful roundhouse kick in the gut. I knew my father hated me but to call me with the excuse of my mother being alive so that I can get taken by Rex’s enemies to save himself was the last straw. From today onward, I have no father. I would rather think of myself as an orphan than have such a selfish man for a father. If he cared about me even a little, I would understand why he did this. But to him, I'm simply a useless Omega and he couldn't wait to give me away to the enemy even though I had already left his pack. He probably didn't want to be associated with me in any way so he brought me here for the enemy to kill me for him. “I want your man to come and save you. And then I’ll kill him.” Those words from the masked man echoed i
Gianna. When I come to, I find myself in a hospital ward. Rose and Hailey are by my side looking at me with so much worry on their faces. “Where’s he?” I ask with bated breath, my stomach twisting with nerves. Is he dead? Was Reece too late? I had lost consciousness the moment he stormed into the room so I don't know what happened. Have they captured the masked man? They probably have since I'm here, alive and well. Rose's eyes flit with guilt and this makes me sit up. I get to my feet but she gently pushes me back on the bed. “He’s not fine right now. The poison can’t hurt him but it can cause him pain. The doctors are flashing the poison from his system so he can heal well. I'm sorry. It's my fault that this happened. If I had gone with you to the City, you wouldn't have been kidnapped and the Alpha wouldn't have been so injured.” Fear creeps into me and my chest constricts at her words. It's no one's fault but mine. She doesn't even know that I planned to meet my father.
Rex. “Did you find out who the bastard is?” I ask Reece and Zane, referring to the man with a mask but they shake their heads. “He was gone by the time we got there. He left his men and teleported to save himself. He's working with a witch. A dark one,” Reece says. An animalistic growl from my lips resonates around the room and my eyes blaze as anger flares through me. A pair of soft hands wraps around my waist and a soft body scoots closer to me, immediately making my anger disappear into thin air. I look down and plant a kiss on Gianna’s forehead, my heart swelling with warmth. This girl right here... is all I live for. She’s seated on my lap in the hospital ward. In the same straddling position she was in when we were kissing but Reece and Zane decided it was time to cockblock us. So she buried her face in my chest to hide herself, her face blushing profusely. She’s so cute. “Since I’m healed now, we can start the interrogations,” I say absentmindedly while looking at
Gianna. I never knew Rex could look so sexy and desirable while cooking. There is just something alluring about a man in the kitchen cooking for you. He's the most handsome man I've ever seen and more so now with the apron tied around his waist. He wasn't being an Alpha at that moment. He was just Rex. My man. All the time he was working around the kitchen, I kept clamping my legs to stop my arousal from perfuming the air. But when he approached me with a plate of pasta looking like a god that had just descended from the sky, I couldn’t help opening my legs and his eyes flashed when he caught the scent of my neediness. He lets out a low growl that makes my pussy clench too many times but it is his next words that make me want to come right here and now. “I cooked you dinner so that you can eat it while I eat you,” he says in his deep velvety voice. “Now spread those legs wider for me, baby. I’m starving.” I blush but I bite my lower lip and tantalisingly open my legs for him
