Brittany: “Sure, I do.” He gave the same energy to Brake and laughed. “Hehe…” he dragged the mic. “My name is Callaghan Zachery, I am feeling kind of jaded. Today is my sister’s baby shower. You all look a little bleary.” The instrument echoes in the room. “The girl I care for left me and ran away, thinking I am a ruthless Alpha.” My eyes bulge, he was going to talk about Lydia here. Lydia had been missing for months and her absence had shattered all of us. Not that she left, she was kidnapped. “No, she didn’t leave me, she was kidnapped, because I am a ruthless Alpha. I am a ruthless Alpha. Yeah...” his fingers grabbed the mic so tight for a moment before he began to sing. The room fell silent as the soft melody filled the air. It wasn’t a lullaby or a love song like they might have expected. It was something deeper, something raw. His voice was low and rough, full of months of bottled-up emotion.He wasn’t the type to wear his heart on his sleeve. But the whiskey had loosened som
Stacy: It’s been two days since we came from Brittany's baby shower, a lot of things had happened between those two days, and that night, I had told him, what happened between me and Brake in the car. I was expecting him to yell at me, and get mad but none of that came forth, he only asked if I wanted to continue with the union ceremony and I said yes, and that was all he asked. Since then, I haven’t set my eyes on him. His beta said he went to a business meeting. Apart from Bellini being an alpha, he had a large company that he runs, so he is not just an alpha but a businessman, not just limited to the wolf world but also human territory. Knowing he was out there in the human territory was terrifying, a part of me wanted him to find his mate while the other part wanted me to keep him all to myself. I know I had no hold on him and I have no right to be mad at him for whatever he did but sometimes I couldn’t help but be possessive, Sky whimpered in my head, she didn’t like the idea
Stacy: “You still love him?” his voice came cold and his eyes pierced mine. I stood there staring back at him. “Go on and answer me, you can’t stop loving him. Right?”I rolled my eyes at him, Brake might still have a piece of my heart but I was doing my best to replace him in my heart. “Why did you get drunk?” I asked ignoring his questions as I walked towards him. “I am not drunk, just a little tipsy.” He said. He wanted to leave the room, I grabbed his arm and he looked at me. “Tell me Bellini, what is going on?” he swatted my hand from his wrist as he glared at me. “What the fuck?” I screamed as my arms hit the wall as a result of the force he used in pushing my hand away from his. “Answer me, Stacy? Why are you avoiding my questions?” His voice came out cold and he was shouting. “tell me, apart from the kiss you admitted to me, is there something else? Did you let him fuck you?” his words were leaving me marvel, and his movement was fearsome, he move closer to me, blocking t
Stacy: The last thirteen hours were like hell for me, one thing in me was telling me to call off the union and run away but where should I go? I don't have anywhere to go. Maybe, Bellini was right that I was only doing this because I had nowhere to go, or maybe, I felt sorry for him but whatever my reason for staying in the end I knew I was walking down the aisle with Bellini and I was ready to make this sacrifice for our friendship for the feelings I had for him for the Pack and for everything that he had done for me. The entire Packhouse was deserted except for a few omega that were there at the packhouse. Our union ceremony was supposed to be held in the open fields under the full Moon. I told the omega that was supposed to groom me that I could do it alone. I took my time to cover all the bruises on my skin as a result of Bellini's bite and grip, the concealer did perfect work for me everything was covered perfectly.In less than thirty minutes, the party will kick off and if I
Brake: I know I shouldn't be here, I didn't want to come here, my wolf wouldn't let me, was it just my wolf, my entire being wanted to see her for the last time before she took up a new name before she starts wearing another scent mixed with hers. That scent that will never be mine. I watch as my alpha and his mate groom themselves to leave for the party, Jamie didn't want to leave the pack without his mate, and his Luna didn't want to miss her best friend and sister's union, so even though his pup was just a few weeks old, they were leaving the pack with him, I heard they were not going to stay at the party for long. Just go here honor the invitation and return to the Pack, I was already drowning myself with alcohol when Caldwell walked into my room, "doing this again?" He snatches the bottle from me. "What the fuck is wrong with you? Give me back." I growl at him ready to take the bottle back, he pulls it higher making it difficult for me to snatch it back. I scoff. "keep it if
Stacy: "Are you still coming?" Bellini's voice came up in my head, I swallowed hard."Yes, I am coming," I said before I wiped out the tears that were welled up in my eyes. Slowly I walked through the hallway down the front door of the Packhouse, my heart was heavy, I didn't even know what I wanted at this point, If it was Brake or Bellini before I went into the open field where the ceremony was to take place, the full moon casting a warm glow over everyone gathering under the moon and the air was thick with anticipation. Everyone had gathered for the union ceremony of Alpha Bellini, and me, his chosen mate, not his fated mate. It was meant to be a day of celebration, of unity, and power, as Bellini officially welcomed me as his mate and his Luna.My heart pounded in my chest, as I walked closer to Bellini who was already waiting in the middle of the field, anxiety crept into my head and my hand trembled as I finally stood by Bellini's side. I had dreamed of this day for so long, yet
Stacy: Without another word, I turned and ran away from the field, leaving behind my dreams and the life I had envisioned. Each step felt heavier than the last, but I didn’t look back. I couldn’t. The pain was already unbearable, a bleeding wound that cut to my very soul. I didn't know what to think of my fate. If it's a cruel fate or one that doesn't deserve anything good. My heart was broken, I knew, this pain, that fate had chosen for me, there was no escape route. I am drowning in it. The forest was blurred and filled with my motion and shadow as I ran, the edges of the world fading as the tears streaked down my cheeks. My gown was now torn and stained with dirt, clinging to my body as I stumbled over roots and trees. I could still hear the echoes of the ceremony, the murmuring of souls. Not forgetting the part where everything turned against me. The part where Bellini's body stiffened and he murmured the words, "mate," "Mine." As if that wasn't bad enough, he let go of my
Stacy: I jolted and awoke, gasping as if I had been drowning. My heart pounded as if I had just surfaced from deep underwater. I blinked rapidly, trying to clear the dark fog that clouded my vision. My breathing was shallow and panicked, and my body trembled as though it had just been pulled from an icy grip. For a long moment, I lay still, my mind clouded with flashes of cold water and the sensation of being dragged under it.I blinked my eyes several times, I was certain I had drowned.My hands flew to my chest, expecting to find it soaked and heavy, my lungs full of water. But there was nothing just the rise and fall of my breath, coming in gasps. The room around me was still unfamiliar, but the scent lingering in the room smelled familiar. A single beam of morning light streamed through the window, casting long shadows across the floors. I still couldn't recognize the room, the room felt foreign and welcoming, as if it existed in another world, far from the riverbank where I last
