AureliaI let out an exasperated sigh as I stared at the analog clock that was hung at the wall. I dropped the book on the table with a frustrated look on my face. I laid my head on the wooden table. I've been staying in my room for the past three hours feeling bored and tired. I can't leave my house and it's because of him, Damien. I'm afraid that he's going to see me which might kindle what happened the other time between us again. I don't want to meet him even though I knows it's almost impossible not to cross part with him. "Please help me, moon goddess," I muttered to myself as I stared at the blank ceiling. I snapped out of my thoughts and looked up as a knock landed at the door. "Who is that?" I asked, my voice cold and hostile. "I'm…""Come in," I interrupted abruptly uninterested in whatever she has to say. I looked up and my gaze landed on the she-wolf who walked into my chamber with a large tray on her hand. "Good day, my lady," she greeted with her head bowed in resp
NatalieI smiled gently as I stared at Ryan who sat on the bed with a laptop on his lips while he worked on it. I gulped down into nothing as my gaze landed on his hard rock abs which looked so sexy and irresistible. Why does he have to be so sexy and handsome? I asked myself but I couldn't get an answer to it. "Do you think it's appropriate to steal glances at your handsome mate?" I snapped out of my thoughts and looked up immediately as his cold tone interrupted my thoughts. What!? Did he just catch me staring at him? "Who told you I was staring at you?" I pretended. "You don't need to pretend. I caught you staring," he said, and I shook my head with a sigh. "Whatever," I hissed and rolled my eyes at him. "You can eat me up if you want instead of stealing glances at me,""Well, you're only allowed to steal glances at me and no one else," he said possessively. Though I don't need the reason why he chose to make such a statement, I know there's more to that statement. What di
RyanI frowned as I read through the file before me. I let out an exasperated sigh and dropped the file on the table with a loud sound. "What's the meaning?" I asked in a cold and dominant voice. Mark bowed his head in respect and walked closer to me. "What is it, Alpha?""Why is the pack income so low? What's the meaning of this business statistics?" I asked, my voice cold and hostile. "That's the right information about the pack sales and that's because of the bankruptcy we're facing," he explained, and I sighed deeply. "You're right but the sales are so low. Is there something we can do about it?" I asked. "I'll like we should take loan from the shark loan so we could invest the money into oil and gas as capital," "We're going to earn a lot of money from that business," I stroked my chin gently as I listened to his ideas which seemed to be interesting. It's good to listen to other people's ideas. "I think that's a nice idea. I'll do something about you and give you feedback
NatalieI yawned out loudly and stood up from the bed. I rubbed my hand gently on my eyes as I walked up to the window. I pulled the curtain down. I closed my eyes gently as I tried to adjust to the brightness of the room. I slumped hard on the couch with a frustrated look on my face. I let out an exasperated sigh as a thought crossed my mind. It has been a week that I've been staying under the persistent pressure of Damien who wouldn't stop flirting with me in one way or the other. I've thought of telling Ryan but each time I remembered how they fought because of me I got rid of the idea in my head. I don't know what to do anymore. Though I feel guilty for hiding it from Ryan, I think I'm doing the right thing. Despite the love and care that he'd showered on me, I can't bring myself to tell him about what's happening between me and Damien. I don't know what to do about him. I'm just stranded with no help. I can't possibly tell Ryan because I know it could cause more problems be
NatalieI gulped down into nothing as I stared at Ryan who glared at me with an angry and cold look on his face. Though he used to be angry, he'd never looked this pissed before. Did he hear something about me? I couldn't help but ask myself. I swallowed hard as he stood up from the chair with a fierce and angry look on his face. "What are you talking about?" I asked, trying to confirm if he'd really heard something from me or if he was just assuming. "I think this is high time you tell me what you're hiding," he demanded, his voice cold and hostile. I gulped down into nothing and struggled to say."I… don't understand what you're saying… I'm not hiding anything…" I stammered, and he scoffed loudly. "What are you hiding from me, Natalie?" He asked again. It seems he'd heard something about me even though I couldn't tell what it was. I can't possibly tell him that his brother has been on my neck for the past two weeks making things hard for me in the pack. I don't know what else
NatalieI shook my head as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. I sighed deeply as I touched my pale cheeks. I'm becoming lean with each day. And it's because of the two brothers, Ryan and Damien. I don't know what to do about them anymore. I'm just stranded with no help. Things haven't been the same again, it wasn't loving and peaceful as it used to be. Though Ryan had apologized again, things don't seem right like they used to be. I ruffled my hair with a frustrated and sad look as I recalled how Ryan lashed out at me with hurtful and disheartening words that shook my heart. I'm still finding it hard to forgive him because his words keep haunting me. I wish he'd never said such words to me. Damien also wasn't helping the case either. He has been flirting with me. Though I've been trying to resist, he keeps coming to me relentlessly trying to have his way into me. I wish I could just end this once and for all. And aside from the hurtful words Ryan said to me, I'm feeling a
NatalieI walked out of my room dressed in a wine robe. I held the edge of the dress as I descended the stairs heading to the dining room. I walked into the dining room and gulped down into nothing as my gaze landed on Ryan and Damien who were in the dining room even though the distance was obvious. His Beta, Mark, was also present in the dining room. "It's a good thing you come,""You look so beautiful in this dress," he tried to have a conversation even though it was obvious that I didn't want to talk with him. "Thanks," I muttered and forced out a fake smile so as not to raise suspicion among the other men in the dining room. He shook his head with a sigh, he'd a fainted and weak look on his face. Stress was having a toll on him. He looks weak and miserable like his guards have said. It's such a pity that it's because of me. I sat down on a chair beside him and my gaze landed on the sumptuous meal before me. I opened the plate and dished out the fried and grilled fish and chic
Ryan"What's the pack business and security statistics?" I asked as I sat down on the swivel chair in my office. It has been a long time since I've visited my office, and everything seems to be the way it used to be. Mark looked up at me and smiled. He walked closer to me with a file in his left hand. I nodded my head gently giving him approval to go on with the report he has for me for the day. "According to the report from the chief of guards, there's no security problem or invader, things have been going fine, Alpha," he said, and I stroked my chin gently. "About the pack business?" I asked as I reached out to a file on the wooden table. He looked at me with a bright smile beaming on his face. It seems he has good news about the pack business. "What's up with that smile? You'd better go straight to the point," I spoke, and he nodded his head gently and cleared his throat. "The pack business has been going smoothly lately. The debt has been cleared from the income we got from
Ryan"How was the shopping you went for?" I asked, and she sighed deeply. "It's quite good and bad,""Can you tell me more about it?" I asked, and she smiled. "It's frustrating how the customers in the shopping mall keep bowing to me every single time," "This made me feel uncomfortable," she said, and I chuckled. "Don't laugh at me," she snapped at me. "I'm sorry but you'd feel comfortable about it since you're officially my Luna," I said, and she nodded her head gently."I think you're right but it's not quite…" she suddenly stopped and rushed into the bathroom. "What's wrong?" I asked myself and stood up from the chair and walked into the bathroom. I shook my head with a sigh as I watched her puke into the clean sink. I couldn't help but wonder what was wrong with her. She has been vomiting frequently for the past two days. I can't count how many times she vomited today. This can't possibly be a sickness. What symptoms could it be? "I need you to visit the doctor since you'
Natalie"Thank you for everything. I love you," I said and pulled him into a tight hug. "I should be thanking you instead. I missed you," he said, pulled away from the hug, and kissed my lips. I'm glad to have him in my life again. The last time I heard that he was killed in the forest, I felt empty and lonely. I'm glad he's back to fill me up with happiness. "You're the best that could ever happen to me," he smiled and caressed my cheeks. "Why are you telling me what I'm supposed to say to you?" He asked. "Because you're the best," I said."Of course, I'm," he smiled proudly, and I scoffed. "How do I look?" I asked as I stared at myself in the golden gown. "You look so hot and sexy that I want to eat you up right now," he said naughtily, and I blushed. "Stop flirting with me and focus," I said. "Yeah I know but that wouldn't stop me from eating you up tonight," he said and crooked my hand into his hand. "It's the time for the celebration, Alpha," a loud voice sounded shortl
Ryan"Doctor," I called repeatedly as I walked into the hospital with Natalie in my arms. She looked pale and lifeless but I don't want to believe that she'd died. How could she die when she knows that I need her at this moment? I asked myself but I couldn't get an answer to it. "Where is the doctor?" I asked the nurse who rushed toward me and pushed the stretcher forward. I placed Natalia gently on the stretcher and pushed her hurriedly to the ICU. I looked up as the door pulled open and the doctor walked in with a stethoscope hung around his neck. "This is the patient sir," the nurse explained, and he walked closer to her. He placed the stethoscope on her chest."Get the oxygen machine to this ward right away," he ordered, and the maid rushed out of the ICU ward. Within two minutes, she returned with a machine that was beeping. He took a material like a nose mask and wore it on her nose. That must be the oxygen. I watched as the system beeped. "Please you'll have to excuse us
Natalie"Please don't!" I screamed out angrily as Damien forced a silver dagger into his stomach. Ryan fell on the floor with blood gushing out of her stomach. My heart skipped in fear as I watched Ryan lay on the floor in his pool of blood. "Damien stop!" I yelled out angrily and rushed toward Damien with a cold look on my face. I fell on my knee and held Ryan's hand firmly with tears rolling down from my eyes. "Please wake up," I cried as I held Ryan's hand. I shook his body continually. I watched as Damien smiled victoriously. I jerked up from the bed sweating profusely. I took a deep breath as I reminded myself that it was a dream. I'm glad that it was indeed a dream because I wonder what could have happened. "What's wrong with you, my lady?" She asked with a worried look on my face. "Where is Ryan?" I asked worriedly with my heart pounding heavily. Though it was a dream, it felt real and I believed it. Something has to be done before it's too late. I can't afford anythi
NatalieI forced my eyelid to open. I closed my eyes quickly as the sun cast its ray into my eyes. The brightness had almost blinded my eyes. I opened my eyes slowly after my eyes adjusted to the brightness that illuminated the room. "How are you, Natalie? How are you feeling?" I looked up as I heard a cold and familiar voice above me. A soft gasp escaped from my lips as my gaze landed on Ryan. He stared at me intensely with his green forest eyes piercing into mine. "Who is this?" I asked myself, hoping I wasn't seeing things. I blinked my eyes countlessly to be sure, and it was Ryan that was standing before me. "You don't need to be surprised. This is Ryan," he said, and I scoffed inwardly, finding it hard to believe. How could I just believe him? "Denver?" I asked, and he scoffed. I saw him last night when I lost consciousness but I thought it was my hallucinations. I was seeing Ryan instead of Denver. Is this not a dream? I pinched myself to be sure and it wasn't. This is tr
Ryan"Natalie," I called out as she fell on the floor probably from the shock. I knew she was listening to us until I heard a heavy thud. I rushed toward her with a worried look on my face. She stared at me with a weak and fainted look on her face. "Is this Ryan?" She asked in a weak tone, and I nodded my head affirmatively. "Are you okay?" I asked worriedly and carried her in my arms in a bridal style. "Please wake up," I said as her eyelids were forced close. She opened her eyes slowly and trailed her hand on my face. "Is this Ryan?" She asked again, and I nodded my head in agreement. "Yeah. This is Ryan. This is your mate. I'm back for you. Please hang in there for me," I said, and she shook her head negatively. "I'm sorry for pushing you away," she said and fell unconscious. I growled deeply and my voice echoed heavily around the pack. I glared at Damien who stared at me still dealing with the shock. "You'll pay for this. I'll be back for you," I threatened, carried her, a
DamienI walked into the dungeon with my hand crossed behind my back. I smirked at him as he stared at me with a weak and fainted look. He looked miserable and tattered even though I'm yet to start with him. He's going to regret interfering in my affair again. "Look who we have here," I said and squatted low before him. He glared at me with an angry look but he didn't utter a word. Maybe the torture has made him lose his voice. "Do you like the way the guard treated you? I'm sure you do because that was a premium service," I said, and he scoffed. "What came over you that made you think you can talk back to me, huh?""It's surprising that you can't do anything to save yourself. You're just weak and vulnerable,""It's funny that you think high of yourself just because I told you to protect my Luna," I said, and he growled weakly. "She's not yours," he snarled, and my eyes flashed red. "What did you just say?" I asked hue he didn't say anything. He remained silent instead. I smi
Damien"What a gut! How dare she mention Ryan's name?" I asked myself with an angry and cold look on my face. I punched the wall beside me as I stomped out of her room. I clenched my fist and bit my lower lips trying to control the anger that took over me. At that moment, I just wanted to squeeze her small neck in my palm. I'm glad that I was able to control myself. I won't want to kill her and my unborn child inside her. I can't wait for her to give birth. It's three months to her delivery. I'm going to make sure she pays for mentioning his name. Who is Ryan? He's dead and gone forever. I reminded myself as I climbed down the stairs to my study room. How could she mention Ryan's name? And who was that guy that has been sending her messages? Or is he truly alive? I asked myself, finding it hard to think straight. Ryan can't possibly be alive? He'd better not survive because I won't hesitate to rip out his heart and soul this time. After all the months of trying to win her hear
Natalie"What do you think you're doing?" Damien asked with an angry look on his face as Denver held his hand firmly. He was unable to free his hand from Denver grip. "You're not allowed to lay a hand on me… on the Luna of the pack," Denver reprimanded him with a fierce look on his face. A soft gasp escaped from my lips, and I stared at Denver in pity and care. I stared at him for a while, signaling him to apologize but he remained adamant. Why is he behaving this way? I asked myself but I couldn't get an answer to it. I'm very sure Damien wouldn't let this slide and pass away. I watched them shocked and perplexed by Denver's adamant and arrogant attitude. What is he doing?"How dare you interfere in my business, huh?" Damien asked in an angry tone as he snatched his hand away from Denver's grip. "That's the job I'm paid for to protect her at all cost so I can't watch you abuse her in my presence," Denver replied coldly. "How dare you talk back to me?" He asked and slapped him
