“I Thalia Rose Laurel reject you, Alpha of Flame Valley Pack Knox Winslow.” I cry out, breaking the bond that never should have been. Ryan's eyes flash with horror, his gaze flickering between Knox and I. “Thalia no.” “Yes.” I blink through my tears. “Let me do what he didn't have the guts to do five years ago, what I should have done to us the moment he slammed my head into a wall while I was grieving my daughter!” “I'm sorry, Thalia.” Knox grabs my hand, but I can't stand to be touched by him. “Don't do this to us, to our-” “Let me end this Knox.” I choke out and it's the saddest plea I've ever uttered. “I started this obsessive diminishhing game between us so it's right I be the one to end it. Accept my rejection.” His head shakes, watching me with teary eyes. “I love you.” Knox won't let me go, but I'm ready to let him go, to let us go and so I do the one thing I can.... .…………..

View MoreHer smile drops, and her eyebrows furrow as she stares blankly into my eyes. “Excuse me?”“Unbelievable, you still want to act innocent? Thalia, you couldn't brainwash me into making you my Luna so you go for him? Have you no shame, he's got a family.”“You're mistaken.” she nervously chuckles. “Ezra and I are like family.”I snicker, unable to control my laughter. They're family? “And yet you say his name like that? You both must be truly incestuous because as far as I know, family doesn't screw each other.” I sneer, and I should know considering I have a lot of sisters and cousins I'm close to.“You can say what you will about me but don't you dare utter anything of that nature against Ezra. Regardless of what atrocities your deranged brain must be conjuring, he loves his wife and kids very much. He's an honorable man….” she trails off, glaring at me. “Unlike most.”I shake my head, she's feigning innocence as if she doesn't know what I'm saying but she does, she's just so good at p
KNOX Thalia has won every case in the last week, no lawyers I've tossed her way have been a match for her. Not once did I think she would become a lawyer, she lacked the spine it takes to get that job done. I used to believe in her potential but the girl that would uncontrollably start crying any time we argued or I raised my voice wouldn't win against the tough lawyers I paid. I went as far as getting lawyers from abroad, to stiffen the competition and if not win to at the very least be able to drag one of the cases out. Yet none of them succeeded, she's apparently good in the courtroom, wins in record time, and with remarkable banter while she's at it. One of the lawyers I sought declined the offer with the reason that he can't let a little girl disgrace him or his career a second time. I recently had my company audited and gave the case to Thalia, I'm incriminating myself to get to her, providing fake evidence too. “My superstar!” Thalia exclaims, noting Alpha Ezra and his da
Now, I look at him. Trying not to breathe him in because he smells too good for comfort. “I know how much you hate me but for the next few months, you have to put up with me because I'm not going to let Ezra down. I'm not leaving, until everything is done.” I remind him because he seems to have forgotten that I'll be Ezra's project manager. Knox argued I can't do my job, and went as far as to dive deep into investigating my life but he found nothing behind my work life. “For every minute you spend in my sights, on my territory that I exiled you from? I will make your life hell, Thalia.” he warns, and there's certainly no bluff behind it. I know when he's playing, and right now he's not, he could smash my head against the wall with a fucking smile.“Fair enough, I understand and if I were in your position I would too.”“Stop it,” he growls.I frown, genuinely confused now.“I-I'm not doing anything, Knox.”“Alpha Knox.” he instantly corrects.“Right, sorry.” I nearly stutter. “Al
“Thalia?” I gulp, her name of foreign taste on my lips. I've not spoken of her in so long and I was getting used to living without her despite whatever unhealthy bond we previously shared.Angela snaps her fingers, “Bingo. So we all see her and girl let me tell you that room went so silent, except for the kids they-”“Kids?” my heart starts to race. “Bella and Katie Rose?”“No.” Angela snarls, “You need to let me finish. It's Alpha Ezra's kids, apparently, she's a super aunt or something anyhow, back to the entrance. So She enters, and we're shocked, I look towards Brianna she's gagged too and Alpha Knox is beyond pissed.”“What did he do?”“He looked like was ready to snap her neck but Alpha Ezra was so proud of himself for bringing her. Alpha started to be rude, to belittle her competence but her pack defended her. Alpha Ezra even threatened to call everything off if Thalia didn't like something we did.”Alpha Ezra? That's who she joined after leaving here? I never got an answ
“I understand that we are familiar with each other but you shall not question my intelligence and then proceed to utter profanity to my face.” “You-” “Pardon my interruption.” I smile, my gaze finding him but I look over his head because my confidence isn't sufficient to say it. “However I would hate if we let our personal lives cost us this project. I reckon how valuable it is to Ezra and so I'll let that slide.” Knox's head tilts, a deadly smirk on his lips. “Are you threatening me?” “No.” Rhys snorts. “However, Alpha Knox. It appears you're close to earning a lawsuit under the guise of defamation and if I may add a little razzle dazzle, verbal abuse.” “I'd win that case.” I snort, quickly gathering myself and my ego built on the basis of a courtroom winning streak. “I'm mature enough to not let my personal life interfere with my work. Believe me, Alpha Knox, I'm not happy about this either.” “Oh...kay.” Ryan sighs, blowing out a hushed whistle tone. “That's settle
Trust me, you'll know. But in case you don't, she's with a preteen girl and the car is a custom made matte black Lexus. I don't reckon the model.” “I see, go on.” We go on ahead into the board room, finding his children quietly settled among my team and his. My team consists of Angela the architect, Ryan my right hand, Brianna my lawyer slash engineer and Omarion the manager and my brother in law. “Daddy.” The littlest one calls out, smiling big at him. “Hi, darling.” “Where's Aunt Princess?”The boy frowns. Alpha Ezra ruffles his hair and settles beside him. “She's coming, she's outside with Valerie.” “Hmph.” the boy crosses his arms over his chest. “I just want Aunt Princess.” “Sorry, they're at that stage where they obsess over one person for lord knows what. It's a miracle she's got enough patience or she'd be pissed easily.” “I understand, my daughter is fairly obsessed with her Aunt too.” The door to the boardroom swings open, revealing Ryan who inst
“I'm not, I'm just worried seeing him might blur some lines for you. Especially with-” “Knox.” she warns, “I'm married. In case you didn't notice, I've moved on. Sure I loved him but I'm in no position to feel anything other than humanity for him and any other man. What happened was my fault, I made those stupid decisions but I'm fine now. You need to let it go, it's not your place to hold such against him. Ezra is a very nice guy.” “Nice my ass.” I snort, keeping my eyes on the road. He would flaunt other women whenever they would fight and she thinks of him as nice. “It's very nice that you left things in the past but Amelia, I'll never forget the sight of my older sister hooked to those hospital machines, fighting for her life.” “Again. Nothing to do with Ezra.” she nearly yells. “I did everything because I was troubled, my mental capacity was nothing short of insane. Ezra finding his mate was just an excuse to spiral.” Ryan sighs. “He still hates him.” “You fucked h
“Are you scared of him?” His head tilts, studying me.” “No?” I nearly whisper. “Not really, I just don't think it's wise to poke the bear and-” “It's time you buried the past if not confronted it.” Eliza interrupts my forged explanation. “You can't run the rest of your life simply because of something you had no control over.” I pause, she's right. It's been four years, but I can't just forget what I did. I killed Arabella Venus, I hurt Knox and his anger is justifiable but I also can't run from him my whole life. Then again, there's no shame in running, I've hidden just fine these past three years so I don't see the need to toss myself back into the lion's den. Or maybe this is what we both need, perhaps I need to let him hurt me to lessen the incurable blow of losing our daughter. And I too need him to hurt me, to chastise me for what I did until the numbness I crave finally hits me. “Rose?” Eliza calls out, her voice distant but clear. I quickly snap out of my daze an
“Mommy made Auntie Mariella cry.” Katie points to me “Nova, apologize.” Knox orders, his tone calm, too relaxed. Nova crosses her arms over her chest. “Excuse me? I will do no such thing.” “It's fine, I don't need her apology.” I wipe my tears, watching Knox. “She will apologize.” Nova rolls her eyes, “I'm sorry, Mariella.” “Mommy, ”Bella tugs at my dress. “So now you forgive her.” Just as I'm starting to enjoy how stupid Nova looks, she speaks again. “I'm sorry I called you out for being the shitpiece you are, and oh knox? She'll never be my Luna.” “Mariella will be my Luna, which makes her rank higher than yours and you might not like it but that's happening and I suggest you lose that attitude you have towards her.” Knox warns her, and I've never felt as satisfied as I do at this moment. “Knox, don't fight with her because of me.” I tug at his arm. Nova gasps, “She's so fake, I could tear you apart if my niece wasn't fond of her but you know what? F. U
THALIA The moment is perfect. No, correction—it was supposed to be perfect but it's not. I'm losing my sanity, the last bit of it that's left after my mate openly admitted to cheating on me because I never can be good enough for him or the ideal expectations of his pack. All the pain I've felt over the last couple of years was to be erased by today but instead it piled up into one and hit me in a gaint wave. It's simply not fair, today was supposed to be the happiest day of my life, the day I was to meet the perfect little gift the moon goddess sent me but it's turned into nothing but a tormenting stillness. My gaze shifts from the bright pink walls of the hospital room to where my best friend stands, her back to me while she talks on the phone. Even there I can see the same color wall taunting me, its the exact shade of my daughters nursery. I push myself off the bed and walk towards Mariella, her whispers now loud enough for me to hear. “No, please come and see her. Thalia ...
