Alexa's POV“Let's eat,” Alpha Nate said after more things had been added to the table.It was a generous sight to behold. Nevertheless, I was still worried about why he'd invited me here but indeed I was too hungry to say what was on my mind.I took a fork and a spoon, added chicken to my bowl of soup and took a sip.“You're beautiful, Alexa you know that?” I choked on the soup after hearing his words and he immediately brought out his hand to help me to drink some water.“Oh thank you,” I said while looking Alpha Nate in the eyes carefully to know if he really said that or I was imagining something. But I knew I was not imagining something. I clearly heard it which was why I choked on the soup.“Alpha Nate, this is a wonderful meal.” I told him honestly. “But who was it intentionally for? I only came here to talk to you about something but…” I trailed off. Alpha Nate was too good in a mood, I didn't want to ruin it by saying I would leave soon.“Actually, it's nothing. Let's just ea
Alexa's POVThe guards finally believed me after hearing the loud scream engulf the woods.“That's Alpha Nate,” they chorused.The guards dropped their meat and ran off in the direction.When we got there, all the rogues were lying on the ground dead. It was only Alpha Nate that was left standing. But he didn't seem so well.“Alpha Nate,” I called and ran to him. “There are some of the rogues who ran off. You all should cleanse them out immediately.” Alpha Nate told the guards who nodded In salute and ran off to carry his orders.“Alpha, you don't look so well yourself.” I said, noticing his bleeding sides and stomach. As well as his shoulders. He had blood trickling down on his forehead and instead of the guards to pay attention to their injured Alpha, they were more interested in carrying out his orders. What if he died or something?“Alpha Nate, what kind of guards do you have? Instead of them to be more worried about your health. They are more worried about carrying out your order
Alexa's POV“Alpha, you're hurt,” said Nikki while getting close to him. “Are you okay?”He shook his head at her, “Please Nikki, the least I want right now is to be surrounded by someone overbearing.”Nikki gasped, “Me? Overbearing? All I want is to do is keep you company and make sure you're well, sir.”“I can't believe you would do something like this.” She pointed at me. “How could you let the Alpha get injured like this under your watch?!”Alpha Nate grabbed Nikki's hand, preventing her from pointing her hand at me. “Stop what you're doing, Nikki. Alexa has nothing to do with what happened. We were attacked by rogues.”Nikki gasped, “Then she should have used her life to protect you. That's what I would do.”“Don't say nonsense Nikki, if you do, I can't protect you.” he said.“Protect me from this woman?” Nikki looked at me and then scoffed. “No way. What can she possibly do to me?” She said with the roll of her eyes.I picked up an injection and pointed it at her causing her to
Alpha Nate's POV“What good are you for when you don't have the resources that I need?!” I yelled causing Nora to quiver and back away.“I am sorry! But at least, I did try to keep her in check. Because I stopped her from getting to know the extent of her powers, she's been good hasn't she?” Nora asked causing me to chuckle because I knew that Nora was plain saying rubbish.“Even if that were true, your techniques can never work on her anymore. It is a thing of the past. She knows now that you're not her family.”“And so? I told her I'm her aunt!”I smirked, this witch's way of thinking was quite primitive. “You told her you're her aunt and you think she'll believe you after finding out that you lied about being her mom.”“She hasn't gotten to know her family that well, I can still manipulate her.”I snorted, feeling entirely annoyed by the witch's way of thinking. “You can no longer manipulate her. Alexa may have been naive when she first came to Moonglade but now that she's been her
The wet slap of flesh echoed through the door. My heart pounded in my ears as realization crept over me like ice water. I pressed my palm against the wood, pushing it open a sliver.Jasper's naked back glistened with sweat. Olivia's legs were locked around his waist as he thrust into her. Their grunts and moans filled the room like a perverted symphony. A vase clattered behind me. I whipped around at the sound, my elbow clipping the edge of the hall table. Purple shards scattered across the hardwood.Jasper froze, his eyes finding mine over Olivia's shoulder. Her mouth formed a surprised 'O'. I should have run, but I was paralyzed, a deer mesmerized by oncoming headlights."Alexa..." Jasper's gravelly voice broke the spell. Olivia's head lolled to the side, strands of blonde hair stuck to her sweaty brow as she registered my presence."Oh god..." she gasped, arms scrambling to cover her breasts.Fury propelled me backwards as Jasper disentangled himself, grabbing blindly for his jea
A cacophony of jarring sounds penetrated the darkness. Distant voices intermingled with the thrumming of my own ragged pulse. My brow furrowed as consciousness slowly trickled back.Where...?The viscous ooze of half-remembered nightmares clung to the edges of my mind like cobwebs. Shadowy impressions began to materialize - the relentless pursuit, the demented shrieks, those ruinous, haunting eyes...My own eyes flew open as the final dregs of sleep dissolved. I gulped down grateful lungfuls of air, grounding myself in the simple act of breathing. In. Out. In. Out. As the fuzzy mental static cleared, I recognized the cozy confines of Shirley's living room. The floral chintz sofa cradled my prone form, a ridiculously oversized quilt bunched around my legs."--lexa? Can you hear me?" Shirley's familiar alto cut through the fog still clouding my senses. I blinked rapidly, trying to focus on the two blurry figures looming over me. Shirley's concerned visage slowly swam into view, her
Chapter three. Jasper's POV I never expected this to happen, especially not now. Just as I was about to sit down, my doctor, John, walked in—my bestie. "Good morning, Jasper. How are you?" he asked, looking at me with concern. I couldn't find the words to respond. "It's about Alexa, isn't it?" he said, reading my expression. Of course, he could tell. My frustration over Alexa's disappearance was written all over my face. With her absence, there's a strange sense of emptiness, but it also gives me space to breathe. Yet, the wolf inside me is restless, craving to tear apart whoever is responsible for her disappearance. "Tell me, John, how did this happen? How did I end up mating with someone other than my true mate?" I asked, my voice laced with frustration and confusion. John approached me, guiding me to sit down as he began examining me—starting with my eyes, nose, and mouth. His frown deepened, and I gave him a questioning look. "Someone used hypnotism on you, buddy. As a witc
Jasper's POV “Alpha, you asked of me.” Olivia said wittily, her head bowed down like a saint. “Yes I did.” I said firmly. I was about to speak but she beat me to it. “You don't have to crown me Luna yet, I know you are still grieving for your mate.” My anger increased. What the hell was the wretched talking about? I felt like ripping her to shreds at the moment, but that in itself was too merciful for her. “Do you know who you are talking to and what you are dealing with, Olivia. How the hell do you say such thing with so much confidence?!” Olivia looked lost which made me even angrier. How did I end in bed with a woman like this one? I was really out of my mind. “What do you mean, Alpha? Do you mean to say you are not planning on making me your Luna?” “Why the hell would I even think of doing that? I went to bed with you only because of your hypnotism. What makes you think I would choose you on a normal day?!” Olivia gasped in shock and held her hands together in front of h
