My eyelids flickered open, and the warm glimmer of morning filtered through the curtains. As I took in my surroundings, disorientation flooded over me, and the events of the previous night faded from my mind.
Next to me sat a tall figure, his silhouette outlined against the faint light. Even though he was already dressed, I couldn't help but feel uneasy when I saw him because of the little strain in his broad shoulders and the well-defined muscle shapes that suggested an unquestionable power.
As I glanced at him, the sensation of our fingertips brushing prompted a crushing surge of passion to run through me. The fragrance of pine and earth filled the air, and a low growl from his lips.
And when he looked directly into my eyes, a raw intensity like that of a predator sizing up his prey, and I knew that I might be lured in with his irresistible charm.
Even with his face obscured by the darkness, I could see the harsh lines on his face and the suggestion of tension in his posture.
My heart raced as I attempted to recall his face, but the features eluded me in the early fuzz.
"What's... What's happening? And who are you?" I managed to croak, my voice barely audible over the pounding of my own pulse.
He turned to face me again, his expression unreadable in the dim light. "Here," he said, extending a piece of paper toward me.
I blinked, my eyes focusing on the object in his hand. "What? What's this?" I stammered, my fingers trembling as I reached out to take it.
"Compensation," he replied tersely, his tone clipped.
Confusion clouded my thoughts as I tried to make sense of his words. "I don't understand," I murmured, my head spinning with uncertainty.
"There's no need to pretend," he continued, his voice tinged with impatience. "You knew what you were doing."
Panic surged within me as I struggled to piece together the fragments of memory from the night before. "I don't remember," I confessed, my voice trembling with uncertainty.
He let out a heavy sigh, his frustration evident in the tension on his shoulders. "It doesn't matter now," he stated, his tone resigned. "But don't expect anything more from me."
“What? I never asked for this.” I told him in return.
His alluring eyes turned cold before he rolled them with irritation. “Who wouldn’t want to accept a check for 100 million dollars? That's more than enough to change your life.”
My eyes nearly popped out of their sockets at the mention of the figure, but at the same time, I needed to make it clear that no amount could sum up my worth.
“Definitely, not me.” I pushed it back toward me.
Letting out a snort, he replied, “That’s your problem, and I won’t be taking it back.”
My face fell as I was yet to understand why I was in a room with a total stranger who was offering me money like some roadside harlot. “Why not?!”
“Because I don’t want you to ever dream about Luna’s position, and I’d be devastated to get married to you because of some silly one-night stand.” He declared, his voice devoid of emotion.
That was it, leaving me alone with my thoughts while his strong aura, the mark of a dominant Alpha, lingered behind him. The truth continued to elude me, slipping through my fingers like grains of sand, despite my best efforts to make sense of what had recently transpired.
Was I hallucinating again? I had to pinch myself to confirm this.
Just when I reached for my phone, my heart was pounding with apprehension as I saw Nicholas's name flashing on the screen. With trembling fingers, I answered the call, trying to keep my voice steady despite the chaos swirling inside me.
"Hey, babe," I greeted him, forcing a note of casualness into my tone.
"Where were you last night?" His voice came through the line, tinged with concern and confusion. "We were supposed to meet, but you never showed up."
I bit my lip, struggling to find the right words to explain. "I'm sorry," I stammered, my mind racing to come up with a plausible excuse. "I must have fallen asleep or something. I didn't mean to stand you up."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, and I held my breath, waiting for his response.
"I see," he finally said, his tone guarded. "Do you realize how worried I was throughout yesterday? I thought something happened to you; I even had to call Paige.”
A pang of guilt stabbed at my chest as I listened to his words. Nicholas had always wanted this, yet I deprived him of it, and here I was, lying to him without a second thought.
“You did? I didn’t mean to put you through so much stress.” I apologized again.
“But you did; are you sure you weren’t with anyone last night?”
At that point, recollections of what had happened the night before began to swirl in a cloud of uncertainty and terror.
Every picture burned into my mind, crystal clear. I recalled lying in bed and seeing the world become dark around me as sleep took hold of me. Then, though, something changed—a nagging discomfort that twisted in the pit of my stomach.
Under the control of an unseen force, I tossed and turned, my body writhing in pain and my face burning with heat. I felt myself thrashing against the blankets, and I could taste blood on my lips—a metallic tang.
My eyes snapped open, and I found myself standing on wobbly legs, my body shivering from exertion. And then, all of a sudden, I was awake. With a flurry of panic and bewilderment racing through my head, I staggered toward the door.
But before I could get to safety, there he was, his offer of salvation hanging before me like a cruel temptation, his piercing gaze, his intimidating presence, barring my route.
"Save me," he had said, his voice cutting through the chaos like a knife. "I'll give you 100 million."
I recoiled at what he said, the enormity of his offer crashing down on me like a wave of water. That's when it became clear that he was the reason I was suffering and the skilled manipulator who decided what would happen to me.
But even as I struggled with him, a part of me kept thinking: What if what he had said was accurate? What if this rescue turned out to be a disguised blessing? After all, I was an omega, helpless.
~Audrina~As I was still contemplating on my decision, Ryan stepped back to grant me an offer.“I’m already aware of everything and I think the right thing to do is apologize for constantly causing a rift in your relationship.”In the past, I would have rolled my eyes, cussed him out and left but the sincerity in his tone didn’t let that happen.“Ryan is apologizing? I didn’t see that one coming.” I muttered, waiting a reaction that would counter his previous words but none came.“Yes, I am because I have realized my mistake.”“To be honest, I haven’t healed ever since the loss of Sarah, I went into drinking and even tried to patronize those strips in clubs but I saw her face everywhere..” he paused, laughing like it wasn’t a serious situation.“It’s crazy and I’m crazy for trying to force you into becoming her.”“It’s no doubt that you hate me but please, save my wife’s life and I’ll leave you alone for good, even compensate for the mental damages and the harassment.” He begged.I fo
~Audrina~While they were still discussing God knows what, I wanted to eavesdrop, but it would be disrespectful, and at the same time, she would think that I didn’t trust her.“You finally did it,” my wolf stated with a hint of celebration laced in her tone.“Did what? I didn’t do anything.” I denied it, and I could already see the look on her face.“Well, you did, whether you fail to recognize it or not.” She countered.“I hope you finally celebrate when you get back to the pack house because you killed more than one bird with a stone.” She praised me so much that I suddenly remembered what I did with James.I prayed that he would find a place to forgive me.“I’ll try.”While we were still discussing, the door opened to reveal her presence, but she didn’t return with Ryan.“Mom, are you sure you are fine?”“Yes, I am, but there’s something you need to know; there’s no need to hide it any longer.”Furrowing my brows, I inquired, “What’s that? You can tell me anything.”There was reluc
My heart thumped in my chest as I walked closer to Ryan's office, every step feeling far stronger than the one before it. I became consumed with an aura of dissatisfaction that tore at me from the inside out. I had to be strong, though. My mom's security hinged on it. I opened the door to Ryan's office and looked around to see if he was there. With a chilly and cynical expression in his eyes, he was seated behind his desk."I'm here," I said, my voice steady despite the nervous flutter in my stomach. "I hope you're ready to fulfill your promise and release my mother."Ryan's gaze flicked up to meet mine, his expression unreadable. "I didn't imprison your mother, Audrina," he said, his voice tinged with annoyance. "But if you want to see her, she's right outside."My heart skipped a beat at his words, relief flooding through me like a tidal wave. Could it be true? Had my mother been here all along, just outside this very door?Without waiting for a response, I hurried over to the door
Fondling my breast, I let out a moan, my body shrinking under his touch.His thumb ran circles around my nipple as his lips moved down my neck and along my collarbone before moving lower.I shivered in delight, my hand sliding along his bare back, my skin burning as he made his way further and further south, kissing and licking my stomach.His hands gripped my hips as he shifted lower, and his mouth covered my most sensitive area."Ohh!"My body tensed, and I let out a long cry, my head thrown back.He continued to lap at me, the tip of his tongue sliding into my entrance."Mmm..." I groaned.He slid his hands along my thighs and gripped them, spreading them wider. He pressed his mouth harder against me, and I bucked my hips, feeling waves of pleasure ripple through me.He lifted his head and slid back up along me, his hand caressing my thigh. He leaned his head down and kissed me, his tongue running along mine.I wrapped my arms around his shoulders and pulled him close, kissing him
~AUDRINA~The ropes burned as I made an ineffective attempt to free myself from their tight grip. However, desperation drove me to persevere, and I eventually gained enough strength to escape. I got to my feet as the ropes came down, my eyes flaming with resolve and rage. Paige and Nicholas looked in surprise as I broke free from my bindings, their faces going pale. The room was silent for a while as we all tried to digest what had just happened.But before anyone could respond, James and Dylan stepped forward, assessing the situation with their weapons drawn one last time.Finally, James shot without thinking, striking Nicholas straight in the chest. He collapsed to the ground, lying still with a shocked expression on his face.When Paige realized what had happened, her eyes grew wide with dread. She took a step back, breathing hard enough to catch her breath. “No…no…no!”Dylan, however, was fast to respond and caught her by the arm before she could get away.James turned to face me,
~AUDRINA~As Paige pulled out her phone to shoot the video, urging the three awful men to speed up, I experienced an upsurge of vomit run over me. "Time isn't on our side; humiliate her!" She shouted. "Owww, I just had the perfect shot." "Go on!" The understanding of their intentions smacked me like millions of rocks, and I struggled against my chains, despair gnashing at my chest. "Stop!" I yelled out, my voice swaying from fear and anger. "Leave me alone!"They reached out for me with envious, grabbing fingers, but they ignored my cries. I struggled and wriggled against their grip, but to no avail. I had no way to protect myself from their disgusting whims and was totally at their mercy. It was like a flurry of wrath rising inside of me as their hands tore at my outfits, robbing me of my feelings of worth and pride. I mean, how dare they treat me this way? How dare they treat me like this, so inhumane?Tears of annoyance and shame clouded my vision, but through them, I saw Paige gri
~AUDRINA~If there was someone who could definitely get a reoccurring award for foolishness, it would be me. How could I have been so gullible? Those stories that she told me—how wasn’t I sure that they were nothing but lies, just so she could delude me into thinking that she was on my side?Oh, Audrina! How much I wanted to smack my head against the wall and wished that I had powers that could make my screams very dangerous, Paige, and that useless ex-boyfriend of mine would have been eliminated a long time ago.None of this made sense to me, but I decided to trust the process. It was hard to see if she had truly changed, but, I guess, a leopard hardly changes its spot.Or perhaps she had cast a spell on me that made me so stupid to have been so loose. I wondered what the guards who had been kept in charge of me would be going through in the hands of James, who was probably paranoid over his missing mate.I should have listened to him, though. Now, look at where my stubbornness has l
~AUDRINA~“By the way, my next confession might actually wreck you.” She gave me a heads-up.“There’s more?”“A whole lot, but I don’t have time to share,” she revealed.“My father is not yours either.”Wait what?! Everything was so complicated right now, and it felt like she was twisting the truth at this point.George, the man I had always known as my father, wasn't actually my father. It felt like the ground had been pulled out from under me, leaving me reeling with confusion and disbelief."But...how is that possible?" I asked, my voice trembling with emotion. "I've always been told that George was my father. How could he not be?"Paige sighed, her expression sympathetic. "I'm sorry, Audrina. I know this is a lot to take in. But the truth is, George wasn't your biological father. Your real father...he died before you were born."The words hit me like a punch to the gut, the reality of the situation sinking in with a sickening thud. My entire life had been built on a lie, a facade
~Audrina~Who was this lady, and why did she even want to help me? Nobody who had offered me help before ever did it out of pure intentions, so I was reluctant to accept.At the same time, I wanted to see the face of the maid before I was bold enough to accept such a risk. For all I knew, it could be someone else sent from one of my enemies to hunt me completely.“And why do you think I would accept help from a stranger? Do you think I’m that desperate?”Her eyes roamed around fearfully, and she whispered, “Please keep your voice down. The guards might hear.”“Let them hear; I don’t care.”“I don’t trust anyone at this point, so go away.” I wasn’t sure why I was refusing her, but something just didn’t sit right with me.“So you would rather rot here than save mom?” As her voice softened up, it was almost like my mother, and I became more curious to know her identity.“Now who the heck are you? Speak, or else I’ll alert the guards.” I threatened her.Slowly, she removed her mask, and t
