All was going just fine until I opened my front door to find flowers sitting right there. Every single space was occupied by one. Flowers of different colours and kinds.“Oh, Mummy's got an admirer.” My kids' excitement pierced through the air.“Waw! He must like Mummy to bring all of this. It must have taken him all night. It is just like Cinderella and the prince.” Charlotte awned.While I just stood there transfixed. Their words must have caught the attention of their grandma because soon, she was standing beside me.&l
BEATRICE’S POVI said no word to him as his car drove on. Being this close to him made the air thicken with tension, and I could barely breathe. He said nothing, but I could feel his eyes on me. My heart thumped against my ribcage, and my fingers trembled. “You look good today.” He muttered out of the blue, causing me to look at him. His eyes were as beautiful as always.“Thanks. You too.” I responded, nervousness munching off me. According to the books I had read, giving back compliments like these meant I didn't see myself worthy of it. Nevertheless, I look out the window again. Soon, we arrived at the tall White building, and his car was parked. I watched as his driver held his door open to let him down, then proceeded to do the same for me, and I caught Xander shaking his head.“We are here.” Xander’s voice pulled me back to reality. He was holding my door open with his left hand stretched towards me. “Hold me.”Something about the way he said it made me transfixed for a second, b
BEATRICE’S POVThe dreadful day that I had long avoided slowly slipped in like a thick fog consuming the sky, and now I knew it was either I faced it head-on or lost my job, and the latter wasn’t an option. I patted my face with the powder foam for the umpteenth time as my heart thumped loudly against my rib cage. It was funny how I had changed my hairstyle into something more elegant, just like my son advised. But what could Xander be up to this time? What was his plan? Did he know about the kids? My hands trembled at the thought, but I straightened out the unseen wrinkles on my Red gown. The choice of colour was the only way to intimidate him, accompanied by my red lipstick. Call me unprofessional, but I wasn't about to let him have the last laugh. The meeting was due in an hour, and the company was forty-five minutes drive from my house. “You don’t have to go if you don’t want to. I can always support you and my grandkids.” Aunt Silvia reminded me the second I got into the sittin
BEATRICE’S POVMy eyes darted around the restaurant as I awaited the arrival of whoever the owner of the message was. Something about wanting to partner with the company: yes, maybe doing this without the knowledge of the boss was absurd, but if it turned out to be a potential client, then I wouldn’t have to put up with the annoying attitude of Xander. All we needed was someone willing to invest in ‘Dreamland’, our company’s new project. I glanced at my watch again. Thirty minutes had passed, yet nothing. I let out a frustrated sigh the second the voice in my head reminded me that it could have been a prank.“HI, Beatrice. We meet again.” The overly familiar voice vibrated in my ears, and I felt my heart flip multiple times. My breathing got stuck the second our eyes met. “Did you miss me?” He laughed dryly. “Kai. What are you doing here?” I was in shock. How was he five hours away from his pack? Why?“Oh, baby. Is that the ‘I miss you’ I get after so long?” He was dressed in a whi
BEATRICE’S POVThe date the night before had been a disaster. It had taken every strength in me not to ditch him and run. Was it the way he kept calling me pumpkin? Or trying to act like we were so much in love. The only reason I had stayed back was because Aunt Silvia made me promise to get through this one date. For the sake of the kids, she had said. However, it came in handy when my worst nightmare decided to stroll through the room like he fucking owned it. Every step he took had my heart pounding because I could tell from the hotness of his gaze on me. It burnt through my skin and threatened to search my soul as well. But above all, I knew he was dangerous, and I knew better than to let myself mingle with him beyond business level. Or to let him know that my babies exist. “How was the date?” Aunt Silvia finally asked as she poured herself a cup of coffee and settled beside me. I had expected the question all day, yet it was late afternoon. I felt something wrong with how she mo
XANDER’S POVHow does one feel when the one mate you have awaited for years treats you like a fool? She tricks you into hating every core of yourself, then shows up without a feeling of remorse.I grunted as I squeezed hard the wine glass I held. This was the seventh glass I was taking, and every single time, her face came back clearly in my mind. Her two-timing yet pretty face. A face that I was going to make shed tears. I lowered my head to see my blood drop on the tiles. The broken glass had penetrated my palm, yet I felt no pain. I had been through worse. Pulling out my phone, I dialed my Beta, and his voice came through in a second.“Get me all the information on her,” I ordered and hung up before he could respond. Wrapping my palm, I headed out of the hotel, straight to one of the bars I had found in town. The whole place was rowdy, with the smell of alcohol and sweat consuming the air. The loud music blared from the speakers, and I settled in the corner of the VIP room, overloo
XANDER’S POVMy eyes ran over the scorching sun as I puffed another smoke in the air, letting the stinging taste of the whiskey burn my chest badly. This was just a glimpse of what I deserved for what I did to my mate. Even though It had been seven years, I still couldn’t stop blaming myself for showing up in her life. If only I had let her be. If only I never got down from the car the other day. Suppose I had ignored my wolf’s endless pleas to meet her just on my way back from a meeting. But her smell had grasped me, welcoming me as I approached the bar. Yet, with each step I took, I could feel my anger boiling at the thought of another man touching her. I felt a wave of relief just seeing her sit there alone, drowning in her sorrow. Somehow, I felt something tearing at my chest, and I could feel her pain, her sadness, and at that time, I had wanted nothing more than to take it all away.I ran my thumb over my neck where her name was tattooed, Beatrice. It had taken a few punches to
BEATRICE’S POVSeven years had passed. Seven years of working hard to make ends meet and take good care of my babies. Claiming a new identity, a new name, and finding a purpose. Aunt Silvia had been of great help and treated me like her daughter ever since, even after Sarah’s death, and I was glad that I wasn’t utterly alone in this world. However, it still made my heart ache to date that I couldn’t save Sarah. I owed everything I was today to her.“Don’t forget, Tricia, you must convince him to partner with us. The company depends on it. Your job, too.” Alpha Lee Drakon, the company’s CEO, reminded me as he rolled in his chair, stroking his mustache. The light from the window reflected on his bald head. He was a plump man who had unending rules that I always seemed to overcome. “Alright, sir,” I mumbled. “I promise,” I added, and he waved me off.STRINGS was a tech company, and we competed with two more companies that seemed to want Mr. Evans’s sponsorship. Having someone like him o
BEATRICE’S POVThe morning light hit my face, and the scent of freshness dampened with sex lingered in the air. My head banged hard as I managed to drag myself out of bed. Bed? Silk white bedsheet and the hot naked blonde lying right next to me. I gasped the second it sank in. I had slept with a stranger. Kia was going to kill me. Picking my scattered clothes, I darted out of the room with my heart pounding fast. I knew I was so dead because, by now, Kia would be foaming. My adrenaline increased the second the house came into view. I caught the glances of the other enslaved people and their hushed whispers. I could tell I looked like a mess and probably still smelt like him. Sarah sent me a concerned look the second I stepped in. “He has been calling your names for hours. He is foaming. You need to go see him.”I sighed heavily and sent a nod before proceeding to his room. I cupped my palm and blew into it, and trust me, I stink. He was pacing up and down by the time I stepped in. O
BEATRICE’S POV“Retrieve the document and burn down the damn house!” A voice yelled outside, and the door creaked under the intense banging. The unpredictable slams were both unsettling and nerve-wracking.My hands trembled as I watched Father scurry to hide the brown envelope he held.“Go hide. Now!” He ordered, fear written all over him. But I was just seven. My feet remained frozen, and I let out wails, a piece of my chocolate birthday cake in my palm. “Daddy…”“Go pumpkin. You can't let them find you.” He picked me up, ignoring my wails as he rushed towards the back door. His breathing had gotten so heavy, and the voices from outside sent my fear on a spiral. I was holding onto his shirt as he put me down. “Don’t look back. Run until you get to the end of the world. Don’t let them get you.” “Daddy…” My voice broke. “Can you come with me?” I was scared of the dark. Of the outside world. Even though I was nothing but an Omega, my parents had done everything to protect my innocenc
