Alyssa was stunned at Axel's invitation. She wanted to decline out of fear of being seen by anyone from the pack but as she pondered on it, she did want to go outside. She didn't enjoy hiding and covering every day."Remember I can't reveal my identity to the public," She reminded Axel."Oh I almost forgot about your allergy to people," Axel said, loving how she blushed at his tease, "You don't have to worry about that. It's a quiet place and only a few people are let in so they can use the court and training facilities. You're going to like it there."Ethan placed his arm around his sister's shoulder, "Ask no more Axel, we are going to be there tomorrow. You don't have to worry about it."Alyssa punched him in the ribs."You don't get to decide for me, you idiot!""Whoa whoa whoa easy with the fists. I was only telling the beta how much you'll love to be there.""I never said that." She returned her attention to Axel, "I'll put your invitation into consideration Beta Axel and mind yo
Ace had spent most of his days in his office working on the amassed files that congested his work table and seemed to never decrease because he was exhausted from listening to his girlfriend's pestering so he decided to consider Axel's advice, to take a break from work and spend some time outside and he resolved to go to the villa. That was the place he went to whenever he needed to think and relieve tension.Upon his arrival, he didn't expect to find anyone there since he and the beta were the only people who came by the villa, but the moment he stepped out of his car he noticed the sweet fragrance and strong attraction of his mate. For a split second, he was irked by his mate's presence because he thought his father must've set that up and Alyssa was deliberately waiting there for him. "Desperate", he thought."Why do you accuse her falsely?" his wolf spoke in his mind. Ace shrugged his shoulders and finally relaxed "You're right. There's no way she would've known I would be here,"
Alyssa had hidden herself in the locker room the instant her wolf alerted her of Ace's arrival. She was disoriented and she didn't know how to respond to his questions which was why she hid when she heard his footsteps. Her wolf had been bugging her and urging her to respond to whatever questions he asked her. She didn't want to appear weak, but hiding was the only option she had for she couldn't let him see her faceWhen Ace had pushed open the locker room's door, she had nowhere else to hide so she could only turn around to face the locker.She could feel the heat exude from her body when Ace hugged her from behind. His cologne clouded her senses and her mind was turbulent. She tried to concentrate but it was hard, with his arms snaked around her. All she could hear was the throbbing of her heart and Ace's uneven breath."Why are you doing this?" She asked her voice more like a whisper."Do you want me to stop?" He teased her.Alyssa found herself struggling to respond to his questi
His kiss made Alyssa moan a little, which awoke them from their trance and all at once they recalled the things they should refrain from doing. Alpha Larole's words rang in her head and his warning. She became nervous, Ace seemed to be into her and she could just grasp her chance but she didn't know if it was just the heat of the moment.Ace let go of Alyssa. Although he knew her scent was the best stimulant for him, he was aware of his responsibility. He was the Alpha. He regained his composure and forcefully tore his eyes away from her body.At some point, he felt embarrassed that he couldn't control himself around her, especially because he had chosen his mate. He just had never pictured her to be this perfect."Alyssa, are you in there? It's almost dinner time" Ethan called."Yes Ethan, I'd be with you in a minute.""Arghh women. Alright just don't go off like that next time, I was worried." Ethan responded."I'm sorry, just give me a minute I'll be with you."There was a relief A
Ace went silent. He hadn't seen her proposal coming and he suddenly went chill in the bones. She wanted him to reject her? He should've, a long time but he had no idea why he couldn't."Ally, c'mon now. I'm out here waiting for you," Ethan called, annoyance etched in his voice "Can you just get dressed already?"Alyssa realized that her brother was still out there. She ignored him and turned to Ace. " And about your bid, I've accepted. Let's meet again. We can't talk at the mansion. But if you may, can we meet at the villa again? Next week, if it's fine with you.""Next week it is," He said. With that, he left without glancing back to look at Alyssa.Alyssa hastily got dressed trying not to think of what had happened between them. The way his hands roamed her body, all played in her head even though she tried not to think about it. She and her brother headed to the dining room where dinner was to be held and she couldn't help but think of how handsome Ace was. He was well built; his m
When Ace got home, he locked himself up in his bedroom. His girlfriend wasn't around and for the first time, he was happy about it. He had had to bore all her nagging but now, all he craved was serenity and solitude.His wolf had been howling in his mind for hours, after seeing Alyssa's true appearance. He kept connecting the dots. Since it was Lydia's idea to have her blindfolded and since Lydia lied to him about her eyes that meant she knew things he didn't. She just wouldn't give out ridiculous rules if there wasn't a motive. Or probably she was just insecure about Alyssa's traits.Alyssa had agreed to be on his team which was fulfilling enough. That way he'd get the truth from her and get to know why she compared him to his father. He didn't even know how to react when she said he was like a tyrant like his father. For all he knew, his father was a good man who could be dangerous at times."You know you're responsible for everything. If you had been patient enough we would've been
Ace glared hard at his father. “Have you made it your duty to start monitoring me now?”Alpha Larole eyed his son warily, lips pursed. “You know, it's just a yes or no.”Ace got on his feet, his footsteps echoing against the marble floors. “I don't need your interference, father,” he declared, his voice tinged with defiance.The Alpha looked at his son, his steely gaze softening. His son may be an adult but he wasn't wise. “Son, all I desire is a strong grandson, to ensure the legacy of our family continues and you can't have any relationship with the maid! It's prohibited.”“That's your rule, not mine!” He spat and raked his fingers through his hair. “It's all your fault all of this is happening.”Alpha Larole got on his feet and turned to Ace, “I know you're mad at me Ace, but someday you'll understand what I'm doing all of this.”“It's for your own selfish reasons,” he pointed out, his anger refusing to abate. “I would never understand a man who makes decisions for his child withou
ALYSSAAlyssa was exhausted and couldn't keep going so they had to end the game. If she pushed her body to go harder than this, then she wouldn't be able to use it in a week.And bedrest was something she could never get at Alpha Larole's abode. She and Axel had pushed themselves to their limits. It was a relentless battle but she had conquered.They sat on the chairs nearest to them, panting and trying to suck in oxygen. It seemed as though they had been deprived of it for ages. Alyssa closed her eyes and leaned against the chair while her sweat drenched clothing clung to her body like second skin. Axel's eyes were fixed on her, never blinking.Who was this woman? How could her small frame work so well? She looked fragile on the outside but at battle she wasn't shaken.“I'm sorry about your stomach,” Axel almost whispered. “Does it still hurt?”Alyssa nodded, “It's alright. I had fun.”“People who say fighting is fun are psychopaths,” Brooklyn chipped in.“You know you'll be doing ev
