Adeline's POV
Hudson threw me unto the bed, his cold menacing eyes staring at me body. I cringed, trembling in fear. I wondered what I could do to save myself from this monster. Would he ever listen to my plea?
"H...Hudson." I stammered, my voice croaky as I clasped my hands together. "Please don't do this."
He chuckled dryly, sizing me up. "How do you expect me to ignore you, uh? Your hot body calls me and I can't help but answer the sweet call." He told me, pinning me down the bed as his hot breath fanned my face.
What sweet call? A...and, did he just say I look hot? I'm not hot for hell's sake!, Judging from the scars on my face and numerous ones on my back; a result of Eva and especially my parents punishment, I feel like the beauty within me had been ruined, completely.
I cared less about my looks, all I wanted was to live a low lifestyle; simple and safe but trouble keeps coming to me. I just can't figure it out, the reasons had been a mystery to me. Was it the curse causing all this?
"Now, strip!" Hudson ordered, making me widen my brows. Tears rolled down my cheeks freely as the thought of being taken advantage of gripped my heart.
"I thought I begged y..you."
He shook his head, clicking his tongue as he was getting impatient. "You managed to escape from my clutches earlier but now, noone would save you. Your blind husband is gone and whether you scream or keep calm, it's none of my business. Dad is outta the house already and Gabriella had gone clubbing."
In am attempt to change his mind, I pleaded with him once again but he raised his index finger, warning me to keep quiet.
"Shut up!" He snarled, his teeth gritted together as his forehead formed thin lines. "You will do as I say and not otherwise, do you understand?" He took an hold of my throat and I coughed as I began to choke.
Nodding hesitantly, I struggled to feel myself from his hold but my efforts proved abortive. I was always weak and unable to defend myself, do I think I would be able to work this out and save myself this time around?
Hudson ripped off my dress, leaving me half-naked. I wore nothing underneath and now my breasts were out, right in front of him. I tried to cover them with my palms but he shoved them away, pinning it above my head.
My heart was about to rip apart due to the numerous questions running through my mind. Would my innocence be taken by this rogue? I've always promised to give my first time to the man I loved but this was completely different.
Hudson pulled off his pants about to shove his member into me, but I stopped him; scheming a plan in my mind, I've decided not to play the weak omega this time.
"I...I have to use the restroom." I could see the doubt and anger in his eyes but that didn't stop me from speaking on. "...I promise, I'm pressed."
After flashing me an uncertain look, he nodded and pushed his member back in his pants. Sitting at the edge of the bed, he granted me permission.
"You have a minute to do that and if you don't come out soon then I'd have to fuck you right there in the bathroom." He pointed at me as if warning me to stay away from trouble.
Taking a few steps forward, he called me making me halt in my steps. He loved closer to me trailing his hands down my chest then he stopped and pushed me forward.
"Go now and hurry back!"
I let out a deep breath I didn't realise I had been holding until now. I walked into the bathroom, closing the door behind me. Then I looked around, hoping to see any sharp object just to scare him away or probably let me go.
I couldn't find any but all I saw was a mop. Picking it up, I jerked my head backwards, wondering if the object would ever scare a criminal like Hudson.
The mop stick was iron made so I could just hit him on the head. 'Adeline, are you sure this would work?' I asked myself, a puzzled frown spreading across my pale face.
"Well, I'd just try." I muttered and the next minute I shook in fright, hearing Hudson's yell from the room.
"Are you going to remain there forever?"
"I'm... I'm done." I replied, flushing the WC to make him believe I had actually gone to pee. I took slow steps out of the bathroom and even though I was nervous I kept on mumbling words of courage to myself.
'You can do this, Adeline. Just one try..' I encouraged myself as I walked out.
"And what's that in your hand?" Hudson asked, his voice dripping with disgust.
With trembling hands, I raised the mop in defence. "Don't you dare come close to me!" Yeah, nice try, Adeline. I just hope this whole defence thing doesn't turn sour.
"Wait, are you trying to outsmart me? You lied you were pressed and..." Hudson paused, chuckling loudly. "You think I'd be afraid of that..that little object? Oh I'm shaking in my boots..!" He laughed in mockery as he pretended to be scared.
I almost backed down but I leveled up more confidence. Not this time, it has to be now or never. I might be an omega but I don't chose to allow this guy have his way with me, no no!
"Hey! Move away! Maintain your distance or I'll hit you on the head!" I fired a threat. I feel great doing this. Was this how being confident felt like? Oh, how I wished I was more bold before now. I wouldn't have suffered so badly.
"Gosh, good lord! You're testing my patience, Adeline!" Hudson retorted, taking quick steps closer to me. Before I could threaten him again, he took the mop from my hands; my only weapon and flung it away.
Almost choking me to death, he didn't release my throat. He stopped and flipped me around , his muscular hand grabbing my jaw.
"You really think you can escape, don't you?" His face contorted with rage and a sneer etched on his face. Just as he was about to hit me on the face, the door flung open, revealing Aiden.
What? Didn't he just pass out just now?! How did he wake up? My face lit up as I wondered.
Hudson was caught off guard and before he knew it, Aiden hit him with the baseball pat in his hand. Groaning loudly, he fell to the floor and his eyelashes flickered as his eyes shut.
I ran to give Aiden a hug, once again he had saved me; my hero.
"Thank you, Aiden." I gushed happily but I was shocked when he pushed me away. Ah, I forgot he told me never to come close to him. I just broke the rule! What would be my punishment for this?
I trembled, my fingers fidgeting as I staggered backwards. Hissing loudly, he pulled me closer again and took off his shirt, wrapping it around my naked body. I'm just so surprised, how did he know my cloth was torn.
"Come here!" He said, dragging me out. What was he going to do now? Was he really going to punish me?
Aiden's POV Ever since I was involved in that ghastly accident that almost took my life; my sight, my rights, my companies, everything had been taken from me.Even though the wealth was rightfully mine and also my inheritance, it was now controlled by my uncle – Thane. He had always lived under the pretense of caring for my well-being but I was aware of his camouflage. Withdrawing unnecessary money had been an habit and my only fear is waking up one day and hearing the news about the collapse of my companies and empires. Occasionally, I've heard him make calls, taking about shady transactions with God knows who.Some days ago, he discussed getting married to me which I declined. But he managed to persuade me claiming the girl would serve as my caregiver. Eva was the one he told me about but I was surprised to realise her sister coming in her stead.I bet she was afraid of having a blind husband, well I shouldn't blame her. Adeline's agreement to marry me and her willingness to help
Aiden's POV "I...I..my things are in the luggage. I forgot to pick a dress before going in." Adeline mentioned, her eyes fixed to the floor. Does she even know how I feel right now? My eyes moved from her legs, trailing up to her pretty face. Though it was filled with scars which was obviously from beating, Adeline still looked beautiful nonetheless. "Your family hates you don't they? Who gave you those scars?" I asked, quite concerned. She sighed deeply before answering my question. "I...I often get published by my parents and my sister, even my mom had scourged me many times."My gaze lingered on her before I sat on the sofa, crossing my legs. I think I'm getting too concerned about Adeline. I don't want to make her think I'm growing feelings for her. We are just a couple and I want to strings attached. Absolutely... no.. nothing. Yes, nothing!"Then pick up a dress and get going." I told her, looking away though stealing glances at her. Adeline... you're killing me slowly."Yes
Adeline's POV I could feel the ray of sunshine on my face and noone needed to tell me it was morning already. It's time for school but first I have to wash Eva's stinking cloths. Oops! I had forgotten I wasn't with my family anymore. The thought of washing her clothes especially her panties was a burden to me. The stench that comes from it is always more than I could handle. I could tell she had been sleeping with a lot of guys, her clothes gave out different perfumes each day. If I could recall well, Dane was her mate and I don't get why she'd go out with other guys. Wasn't he enough to please her? He was a handful, always fucking her. I have overheard Eva's moans many times. Dane's orgasm never ceased to draw maps on her bedsheets and it's so annoying that I have to clean their mess! Sigh... I'm so unhappy today, I felt relieved that I escaped Eva's clutches yesterday but I'd be seeing her today, again. Can I even do without her? I just wished I could make myself invisible,
Adeline's POV I quickly broke from the hug. Gosh, I forgot he warned me not to hug him anymore. Why do I forget things easily? "I'm... I'm sorry. I just hugged you." I took some steps away, biting my lower lips, my eyes gazing at the floor. Seeing him quiet, I decided to use that as an opportunity to run away from this awkward moment. But I was stopped and stunned when Aiden hugged me again. My brows widened as I reeled in shock. Aiden just hugged me! Why would he hug me when he wants me completely away from him? I heard him groan, sniffing a bit. Was he crying? "Aiden…?" I called his name slowly. I returned the hug, patting his long hair. I left him to let out his tears, maybe that could make him feel better. It works for me but I don't know if it would for him too. Whenever I get bullied or punished, I soak myself in tears and let out all my pains and anguish. "Adeline, I'm sorry you have to be entangled in this web with me. I didn't feel good when Gabriella spo
Adeline's POV Shit! It's the principal!Eva shifted back to human form and her chest heaved fast, anger boiling within her."To my office right away!" He ordered and Eva flashed me a look of disdain before walking out with her friends."Fuck you!" Olivia raised her middle finger, rolling her eyes at me. I ignored her and trailed behind them as we all made our way to the principal's office."According to the rules and regulations, it's forbidden to shift while at school." The principal began, fixing his eyeglasses properly to rest on the bridge of his nose."Who initiated the fight?" He asked, folding his arms."This bitch crossed her lane!" Eva pointed accusing fingers at me. Principal Simeon shook his head, tilting his eyeglasses down a bit "No cuss words at school, Eva.""Fuck, she…" Eva paused when she received another disapproving look from the principal. She can never stopped using cuss languages. It's a part of her."Principal, she came late to school and as the punctuality p
Aiden's POV "How's she?" I asked, walking into the room with a worried expression spread all over my face. The doctor nodded, hanging the stethoscope around his neck. "She's getting better. Her temperature had drifted back to normal and please make sure to use the drugs being prescribed." He advised before I nodded. "Thank you." I said and he smiled, taking his leave the next minute. I strolled closer to the bed where Adeline was lying, looking all sick and pale. The bruises and deep cuts on her skin were visible, anyone who had done this to her must be so wicked and heartless. Torture is so inhumane. Why? Why had they done this? My fingers trailed down her bruised cheek, brushing past the spot that was wounded. So deep…. I saw her wince and quickly withdrew my hand. I shouldn't disturb her and just leave her to rest. I guess it was her sister who had done this to her. I might just have her change her school but everyone in the pack knows her to be an omega and I
Adeline's POV I didn't feel comfortable with Aiden leaving the house at midnight. I watched him through the window as he left and my instincts kept telling me there was trouble ahead.I gulped, a frown spreading across my face as I say on the bed. God, why do I have a feeling this wasn't going to end well.I squeaked the door open and stepped out of the room to get water. I had to ease the thirst I was feeling down my throat. As I walked past the hallway to get water, I heard Hudson's and uncle Thane's voice coming from the room. I wanted to ignore but I decided to eavesdrop as I heard Aiden's name being mentioned."He'll always be the stupid one, dad. A mere latter would lead him to his doom." Hudson mentioned amidst a loud laughter. I gasped my brows scrunched up in disbelief. Why would they want him dead? I asked myself.I had thought about this before now. These people aren't the least righteous."I have arranged some mad rogue werewolves to deal with him. In no time, he'll be
Adeline's POV I could hear thunderstorms and when I looked up at the cloudy sky, I realised it was about to rain.Aiden was still unconscious and I was damn worried.I couldn't control my tears, I really wanted Aiden to survive this.I kept shaking and hitting him but he didn't move; he just remained still, his eyes shut.It began to rain, and at first it started with drops but in no time, there was a heavy downpour.I looked around for refuge and then I saw a small abandoned hut. Quickly, I dragged Aiden along as I made my way there.I coughed as the smell of dust hit my nose. The hut was almost wrecked and I guess it had been deserted for years.I laid Aiden on the worn-out mat, still in tears. Was he going to leave me now?His wounds were deep and I doubted if they'd ever heal. "Aiden? Open your eyes. I'm here, everything's fine." I sobbed, my voice croaky. I wiped my tears as my eyes caught a knife, lying carelessly on the cracked floor. I picked it up, my fingers rubbing the e
Adeline's POV I opened my eyes to see pair of worry filled ones. I gazed at everyone — my sister, mom, Sienna and Ryker."God, you're awake!" Mom rushed to my side, kissing my cheek.I frowned, wondering what had happened. All I remember was having a conversation with Reyna, how did I get here?"You fainted after the energy transfusion, Adeline." Reyna mentioned, her tone etched with nervousness. "Are you okay now?""Good Lord, Adeline. I was almost scared to death." Sienna held her chest, sighing in relief. Ryker was the only one who wasn't saying anything and I noticed the tension between her and Reyna. "My baby." Mom wiped her tears off her eyes, staring at me tenderly. I felt mesmerised, this was the first time I'd be experiencing so much motherly love. I hope this last longer and forever."I'm fine, you all. You don't have to worry." I tried to assure everyone but they still seemed tensed. "You didn't read all the contents in the book, Adeline." The Pack doctor, Rose mentione
Adeline's POV I dashed into the Sacred room, flipping through the pages of one of the books neatly arranged in the bookshelf. I just needed answers to my curiosity, I wanted to know a way to keep Reyna alive; since the Pack Doctor had made me to understand that aborting the baby would be a big risk as my womb was still tender.I returned the book and picked another and on the front page, was body written, 'Moon-Twin bonding; rules and remedy.'A smile settled on my lips and I quickly hid the book, returning to my room. I shut the door and sat on the bed, carefully studying the contents in the book.The first chapter read 'Bonding Failure; remedy.' Yes, this was exactly what I needed. 'One, the other twin has to donate a vail of blood to keep the other alive if a problem arises'. I paused, closing the book. A vail of my blood? That shouldn't be something difficult.Finally! Reyna would live and after I'm delivered of my baby, we can just go ahead with the Bonding."Reyna!" I called
Narrator's POV Ryker began developing feelings for Adeline during her training at the academy.Even though everyone else in the Pack hated her, he has that one feeling that seemed to grow each passing day and he just couldn't control the urge to see her every moment.During the years when she left, his mind had always been with her and her disappearance from his life, left a deep void. Yet, he couldn't express his feelings to her as he felt it would seem improper.He was her teacher and she was just his student, she respected and maintained the formal relationship between them, but Ryker wanted something more.Worst case, he was way older than she was.His mind had drifted into confusion ever since the day he found out Reyna was his mate and it grew worse when he came to realise that she and Adeline were friends.And, there was even a possibility that they were siblings. He was their uncle and that had made everything more complicated. He ought not be involved in any love relations
Adeline's POV My heart ripped off in pieces the moment I beheld Reyna lying in pain in the bedroom."Reyna, p...please, stay for me. Stay for my sake." I said but even in her weak state, the strong walls of hatred she had built for me didn't crack a bit.They held firm. Even unto this day, I don't know the best way to lift her hopes. I didn't know how to tell her everything was going to be fine."You caused this, Adeline. If I die this way, I swear I won't be able to forgive you." She shook her head, her voice coming out like a whisper yet it was like a sharp needle, piercing through my heart.I really wanted to sacrifice everything to make Reyna live but I was unsure about getting rid of my baby. Even though the circumstances that surrounded how I got the pregnancy wasn't any good to tell, I just felt it would be cruel to go for abortion.But now, Reyna's life was on the line. What if I gave up my child and at the end Reyna and I aren't related? I just couldn't stop asking myself th
Aiden's POV I stepped out of my car, my assistant opening the car's door for me.Hardly had I alighted when the reporters swarmed around me. I've been used to their craziness ever since I took over my position as the CEO of Albert Corp. I had to patch up so many mistakes my uncle has made in the past months and trust me that man has done a lot; but with the family's secret fund he didn't know about and didn't get to touch, I was able to restore the company back to normal.I ignored their numerous questions, walking into the building. I didn't bother to return the greetings from my employees and went straight to my office."Mr Albert, here is your schedule for this week." My assistant, Layla said with a smile on her face. I had to replace everyone uncle had employed before and hire new ones.Hell, they weren't even up to the company's standard and all they do is take salary for nothing."Read out!" I ordered, my gaze fixed on my laptop. I listened to her speak and after she was done,
Adeline's POV I sighed, checking the calender. My birthday was fast approaching and they meant Reyna's death day was approaching too.I had to do something. I planned to get rid of this baby but wouldn't that mean taking risks?I don't feel endangering this innocent baby's life was a nice idea, still I imagined the disgrace I'd face when the whole Pack finds out that I was pregnant and didn't even know the father of my child."Breakfast is ready." Sienna announced, jolting me out of my thoughts. It's been two days now since I got to her place where she stays with her mother."I... don't think I'm hungry, Sienna." I shook my head though it was a lie. This baby had been making me consume so much food lately and I feel hungry every minute.Yesterday, I finished three bowls of rice and even wanted more. At midnight, I was hungry too. Aside from the baby shifting position every time, the baby whether a she or he was consuming more than enough.I had always dreamt of having a child with Ai
Adeline's POV "She's pregnant." The Pack doctor announced and immediately she said that, my heart sank. Pregnant? No, that can't be possible!"That's why the Moon-Twin bonding didn't work, the seed in her is stopping her wolf from reacting." She added.Tears streamed down my eyes freely, I can't believe this. "I said it, you're bad luck Adeline!" Reyna yelled, running her hands through her hair. "You want me to die, don't you?""I... I'm confused.." I stuttered, short of words. "M...aster." I turned to Master Ryker whose face was filled with a dark glint. "Who got you pregnant, Adeline?" He asked, his voice husky. I shook my head slowly, my words hanging in my throat. How can I answer his question? I've mated with two different men.Could it be Aiden or that stranger Eva made me hook up with?"She's definitely pregnant with that man's child. A one nightstand doesn't result into something good, does it?" Reyna hissed."What do I do?" I asked, my voice trembling. "Abort the baby,
Adeline's POV "Hey Adeline, you're back to the academy. It's really been a long time." Theresa said, beckoning on her other friends. I gulped, watching them giggle. "Yeah, I'm back. Do you have any problem?""I heard the MoonCrest Alpha rejected you, aren't you supposed to be sulking at home instead of pretending to be concerned about the soldiers?" One of her friends asked."Does she even have a home?" Theresa scoffed."No, she does Resa. She now stays at Master Ryker's place." Theresa widened her brows, moving closer to me. What's wrong now?"Why are you suddenly back now? You're here to steal him away again, aren't you? Master has always liked you, and he doesn't even act like I exist." She began to sob and I frowned, wondering what was wrong with her.How is that my fault? Besides, Master Ryker only sees me as his student and nothing else."You have to stop with this, Theresa. This is not the Adeline you used to know. If you're to bully me again, shoo little fly, get out of my
Adeline's POV I settled for the room beside Reyna's since she objected sharing a room with me when I asked.The reasons for her actions were still all confusing to me. She has suddenly changed form the jovial girl I knew and was now treating me like I was some stranger. "I don't think I can join you tonight, Master. I don't feel good. I seem to have lost my appetite to eat anything." I shook my head, staring at my feet. "You don't have an appetite or you're avoiding your sister?" He asked, folding his arms.I looked up, swallowing hard. How did he find out I was only lying? It was all true, I didn't want more of Reyna's tantrums tonight.I just wanted to sit solo and think my life through. Her sudden change was a shock to me and I wondered how she could change so quickly.Master Ryker pulled me out of the room, as we made our way to the living room. "I have something to say and it's important." He said as we reached the dining area."I didn't make dinner for three as I wasn't awa
