“Wear the nicest dress you have. And don’t forget to dress up as beautifully as possible.” Alpha Pascal said to his favorite daughter. He looked at Jennifer with a warm smile. “Tonight, an alpha from the Western Eclipse will come to this place.”Jennifer bought a look of disbelief. But a second later, she smiled with impatience. She played with her long hair as she envisioned the famous alpha of Western Eclipse. Handsome, charismatic, and respected by the rest of the pack. If Jennifer became the alpha’s mate, it would certainly increase her father’s power and authority.“Do I have to wear a dress too, dad?” A soft voice came from a girl who was putting a cup of coffee on the table. She was wearing shabby clothes. Her face was pale because she wasn’t wearing any makeup. Unlike Jennifer, who wore thick makeup that covered the dark spots on her face.“Are you out of your mind?” Jennifer snapped in exasperation.Pascal’s face hardened with anger. He stared at Lara with a piercing gaze. H
“How dare you bump into Mr. Mike with your shabby clothes!” Jennifer snapped. She was surprised to see Lara’s presence. Her hands clenched with emotion.“I’m sorry, sir.” Lara looked down even deeper. Her hands squeezed anxiously.“Raise your head.” Mike asked in a firm voice, but in a low tone.“Let me take care of it.” Jennifer stepped forward. She stood in the middle between Mike and Lara.“With all due respect, I apologize for my servant’s inappropriate behavior. I will teach her a lesson for what she has done wrong today.” Jennifer gave Lara an exasperated look.Mike didn’t care about the words coming out of Jennifer’s mouth. He knew this woman was like a venomous snake.“Are you okay?” Mike asked, passing by Jennifer, who was stunned to see him.Mike looked at Lara. His gaze traced every inch of Lara’s bruised body. Her brown hair was disheveled. She was breathing heavily, as if she had just run away from someone.“This woman is just a rogue, sir. She works as a maid here. And s
“Stop it!” Victor, the eldest brother, entered the room. He looked at Lara before looking at Jennifer.“Don’t be silly, Jennifer!” Victor snapped at his sister. She immediately looked away in annoyance.The men immediately stood up, stepped back, and bowed respectfully to Victor.“And you, go to your room!” Victor ordered.Lara felt powerless, but she forced herself to stand up. She walked with her face down.“Why did you let her go? Are you defending her now?” Jennifer snapped at Victor. She couldn’t believe her brother would let Lara go.“Do you think this will stop, Mike?” Victor glared at Jennifer. “Don’t be stupid Jennifer! You’re just going to cause even bigger problems.”“Calm your mind and go back to your room. Dad and I will figure out how to solve this problem.” Victor said, before leaving Jennifer.There was no agreement between Mike and Pascal. The man defended his decision, and Pascal did not want to give Lara to Mike.“How is Jennifer?” Pascal asked. He was more worried
“Is she awake?” Mike asked Evan. He looked tired and sleep-deprived. Two days had passed, and the woman he had brought hadn’t woken up.“Not yet, Mike.” Evan said. His expression instantly changed. There was something more important than this that he had to tell Mike.“Alpha John’s men are coming back.” He continued. “They threatened that if we don’t hand over their master’s bride, then they....” Before Evan could finish his sentence, Mike cut him off.“If they come back, you don’t need to talk to them. Just kill them right away.”*** Lara was surprised to find herself in an unfamiliar room. She didn’t really remember what had happened to her.“Oh my God!” A nurse looked at Lara with wide eyes. She turned to her friend. “Hurry up and report this to Evan.”“Who are you? And where am I?” Lara asked in a confused tone. Despite her weakened state, she remained vigilant.“This is my master’s place, miss. And we are not bad people.” The nurse said calmly. She noticed that this woman looked
Lara gulped down her saliva. She couldn’t sleep even though the bed was so soft. The luxurious room with the king-sized bed made her look like an ant in the middle of a flower bed.She woke up and patted her face repeatedly. Realizing whether this was a dream or real. Unfortunately, it was real.“Do I deserve this?” Her voice was low and her gaze seemed to be in disbelief that she could enjoy sleeping in this bed.Lara looked around. Clearly, this room belonged to someone in a high position. Someone she didn’t deserve to have.“Is that guy really my mate?” Lara muttered.Lara had never dreamed of having a high-class mate before. Her dream was very simple. To have an ordinary mate as her husband and live happily ever after.“What were you thinking until you made that expression?” A familiar male voice made Lara turn her head to the side.A handsome man with an extraordinary aura was observing her and it made Lara hurriedly get off the bed.“Stay right there.” Mike ordered. He loosened
“Why are you so careless?” Mike looked angry, but he cared about Suzanne.“If I don’t come soon, what will happen to you?” Mike looked at Suzanne, who was wincing in pain. “They could have hurt you more than this!” He said in such a loud voice that several people in the room dared not look up.Suzanne took a breath. The fact that the woman brought by Mike was related to John made Suzanne even more upset.Why would Mike accept such a lowly woman? Suzanne couldn’t accept that!“Give that woman back. You’ve already made trouble with Pascal’s pack. Now you will also become John’s enemy.” Suzanne spoke in a firm tone.Mike raised his hand. “We want to talk alone. Now, get out.”Shortly after, Mike and Suzanne were the only ones in the room.“Why? Why are you doing this?!” Suzanne looked disappointed.“Is it just because she’s your mate?” Suzanne looked at Mike. “Even if she’s your mate, she’s still a woman you just met. You don’t know her very well. And it’s possible that her presence coul
A grand party was held at Mike’s luxurious mansion to announce his marriage. All the pack members were excited, as were the neighboring packs. They came to find out who the lucky lady was.“No need to be nervous. Remember, you’re our Alpha mate.” Evan reminded Lara of her status. “You are the star here. No one will dare to dim you.”Lara let out a long breath. All eyes stared at her as if she were prey ready to be pounced upon.“Okay.” Lara kept her voice and composure.Lara had never been to a party. She had always been cooped up in a dirty warehouse. Standing in this crowded, glittering place made her a little anxious. Especially the glances that revealed the judgment of her quality as Mike’s mate.Lara put on a perfect smile. She still remembered Mike saying that smiling is the best way to hide your feelings. And, yes, she did that to ease all her nerves and anxiety.Until finally, Suzanne arrived in a sexy maroon dress. Red lipstick was plastered on her voluminous lips. Her hair wa
“We need to talk, Mike,” Lara whispered with an adorable expression.Mike smiled slightly. If he wasn’t in a hall full of his pack members, he would have pinched her cheeks.“Alright,” he agreed. Mike finished the discussion with a few words before following Lara into the quiet room.“Why didn’t you say anything about the wedding?” Lara looked upset, but that upset face looked sweet in Mike’s eyes.“Don’t you want to marry me?” Mike asked back.“Ummm....” Lara was silent for a moment. Her face was flushed, and she looked at a loss as to how to answer.If Mike had asked her that, she would have said yes. Mike was her mate. Of course, she wouldn’t refuse.“I am your mate.” “Then I don’t have to ask anymore,” Mike said casually.“But still... You have to tell me first. What if I suddenly have a heart attack from shock?” Lara was still upset.“That means I’ll have to pick you up and take you to the hospital.” Mike replied with a flat expression, making Lara even more annoyed.“Do you sti
“What’s going on?” Marta came out when she heard the commotion. She looked at Flow, who was on her knees on the floor.“I’m sorry, young master. I am guilty. I deserve punishment.” Flow begged.“She is not guilty. I was the one who wanted to do it.” Lara tried to calm Mike’s anger.“Don’t lie to protect someone.” Mike snarled as he glared at Flow. He knew the maid wasn’t to blame, but he couldn’t contain his anger now.“What punishment do you want?” Mike stepped towards Flow. But Lara grabbed his hand and tried to stop him.“You have no right to punish my servant!” Marta intervened. She stood in front of Mike.“I am the master of this house!” Marta warned.“And you heard it yourself. She was the one who insisted on doing it. On what basis do you wish to punish my servant?”“I am the rightful heir of the Dorgan family!” Mike growled in his wolfish voice. Maybe his great aunt had forgotten who Mike was.With the death of his eldest brother, Mike was the rightful owner of the Dorgan fami
“Why didn’t you tell me?” Daisy snapped at her Alpha. “How could you let this happen?”Tears fell from her swollen eyes. Not a day went by without tears. This was Daisy’s life now, mourning the death of her daughter.“How can a girl born from the womb of a slave, who lives in this house like a lowly Omega, be married to an Alpha?” Daisy shouted loudly, her emotions spiraling out of control.How could this girl be happy while her poor daughter was dying?“Stop it, mom.” Victor came and picked up his mother with a frustrated look on his face.“You... Are you defending your father?!” Daisy snapped at her son. “You’re defending that heartless demon?”Victor sighed in despair. Seeing his mother go mad day after day made him want to end her suffering, but his heart refused to see her in a coffin.“You believe me, don’t you, mom?” Victor said as he took his mother’s hand. "I will avenge them with a more painful death."Daisy looked at her son with tired, hopeless eyes.“That’s right, you are
“Are you still thinking about what my great-aunt said?” Mike asked, while playing with Lara’s long hair.Lara just nodded. She couldn’t say that what Mike’s great-aunt had said was wrong. “Don’t be so serious.” Mike tried to console his mate. “She said some harsh things, but she’s really nice. I’m sure she’ll accept you.”Lara turned to Mike. “Are you sure she’ll accept me?”But Lara’s expression didn’t look confident. Her fear was greater than her confidence.“What if Great-Aunt Marta doesn’t accept me?” Her face fell sadly.Mike smiled and rubbed his mate's head.“I don’t care if she doesn’t accept you.” Mike took Lara’s hand thoughtfully, as if he would never let go. “The person you live with is me. You don’t need anyone else’s acceptance. You just have to love me. That’s all you have to do.”Lara’s face immediately turned red. She looked down even deeper to hide her current expression. With this simple sentence, Mike was able to restore her trust.But how long will this love last
“I already told you that she is my mate. And I don’t care about anything else other than that fact.” Mike said as calmly as he could. He knew what his great-aunt was like. If they both got emotional, there would be no solution to this argument.“But not this way! You can do something else other than kidnap her.” Marta sighed, her head suddenly spinning at the thought of her family’s reputation out there. Just because of Mike’s childish behavior.“She is Alpha Pascal’s daughter.” Mike said straightforwardly.Marta’s eyes widened as soon as she heard the man’s name. She looked at Lara in disbelief. This was a fatal mistake.“We have to talk right now!”Lara was separated from Mike. She waited anxiously in the living room. Lara looked at the antique wall clock several times and let out a long sigh.“Don’t worry, miss.” A man approached, and some servants put snacks on the table.“This is a common thing.” The man smiled elegantly. “Madam and young master often quarrel, even over small thi
“Look at that sly woman!"Lara looked down as people watched her with hateful eyes.“How dare she take Suzanne’s place!” One of the woman’s words was very clear to her. “Only she deserves Alpha Mike!”“She must pretend to be innocent to get Alpha Mike’s attention.” One of them said. “Let’s see how long she can hide her true face.”Lara’s shoulders felt like they were being crushed by a boulder. With every step she took, the weight grew heavier. It felt suffocating.Walking slowly past the people, she made her way to her room and stayed there.She let out a long sigh as she smoothed her hair.“Lara, are you in there?” Suzanne knocked gently on the door. She didn’t want to look bad in Mike’s eyes. So she lowered her prestige.“Do you have a moment for me?”“Just a minute.” Lara hurriedly wiped her face before opening the door.“What’s wrong?” Lara frowned at Suzanne’s presence.“Sorry about yesterday.” Suzanne took a step to apologize. “I really didn’t mean to hurt you.” She said, putti
“What the fuck is going on here?” Alpha Pascal’s thunderous voice made the members of his pack flinch. No one dared to raise their faces at this moment.“Jenifer, my dear!” Daisy, Pascal’s wife, grabbed the bloodstained objects and hugged them. Those objects belonged to her daughter.“Don’t touch that disgusting thing!!" Pascal snapped, but his insane wife refused to let go. She screamed loudly as Pascal’s men pulled her away from the box sent by an unknown person.“Don’t separate me from my daughter!” Daisy screamed like crazy. She rebelled so much that two men had to force her inside.“Jenifer! Jenifer!” She shouted her daughter’s name loudly.Pascal clenched his fists in hatred and anger. Every day, his hatred grew until he wanted to destroy the world. But he realized that he had to gather as much power as possible.“Burn all this stuff!” Pascal ordered with a dark look in his eyes.“No, it’s all my daughter’s!” Daisy pleaded, but Pascal ignored her.“Please don’t do that. What if
Lara noticed the gazes of some people that showed dislike towards her. They reminded her of people in the past who hated her for unknown reasons.“Forget this matter. I’m hungry.” Mike came closer and touched Lara’s shoulder while looking at several people with an intimidating gaze.Lara nodded slowly. Being here made her uncomfortable.They walked out to the dining room. And when they got there, the servants greeted them.Lara sat near Mike. The servants served a delicious meal with plenty to choose from. But at the opposite table was Suzanne, who sat elegantly.Suzanne’s fingers looked beautiful when using a spoon and fork, and even her way of eating showed that she was in a different class than Lara.“What’s wrong Lara? Is this food not to your taste?” Mike asked with a probing look. He noticed that Lara hadn’t touched her food at all. “If you don’t like it, I can ask the chef to prepare another one for you.”“No-no, I love this food.” Lara stared at the food on the plate. Mike co
“Are you sure you want to hand over this job to her?” Evan asked in a suspicious tone. “What if she does something to Lara?”“I’m sure my woman can handle it.” Mike replied proudly, but a second later his expression turned serious. He got up from his seat and stepped closer to the window.“Don’t forget our goal, Evan." He reminded. "So mind your manners. I don't want one mistake to make them suspicious. We have to be patient until the time comes.” “Yes, sir.” Evan bowed respectfully. "I will keep it."“And get Cale over here. We need to take care of that bastard and his men as soon as possible before my wedding.”Shortly after, a man with brown hair and gray eyes walked into the room. His eyes were sharp as arrows, ready to be drawn. He was Cale, one of the loyal betas who had the best martial arts skills in the pack.“Interrogate those people. Do whatever it takes to get as much information as possible.” Mike said with a dangerous smile. “We’ll show that old Alpha who he’s playing w
“We need to talk, Mike,” Lara whispered with an adorable expression.Mike smiled slightly. If he wasn’t in a hall full of his pack members, he would have pinched her cheeks.“Alright,” he agreed. Mike finished the discussion with a few words before following Lara into the quiet room.“Why didn’t you say anything about the wedding?” Lara looked upset, but that upset face looked sweet in Mike’s eyes.“Don’t you want to marry me?” Mike asked back.“Ummm....” Lara was silent for a moment.
