ALPHA DAMIANAfter I left the gala with Sergeant Wilson, Carter's grandfather, we went to an empty corner to talk.I tried as much as possible to convince the old man to handover Carter's position as the supreme Alpha to me as his son was mateless and young making him unable to rule all other Alphas. But the old man seemed to have so much fate in his son because no matter how hard I tried to convince him, he kept saying that his grandson was competent enough.I had thought it'd be easier if I went through Sergeant Wilson because I had come to realize that Hailey, my supposed daughter, would not do as I asked her, but the man seemed to be adamant and proved to be a thorn in my flesh.I didn't want to continue trying as he started suspecting that I had an ulterior motive other than caring about my son in-law. He was smarter than her looked. I had to get rid of him and quickly else he'd cause my plan to fail. I needed to act fast as Carter's position was an enviable one and I was certa
TEMMYBeing locked up alone in my room was as boring as it sounded. The only time the door opened was when the maid brought my food or when she came to take back my plate.Other than being bored, I missed Xavier. I wanted to see him, I had to. Perhaps due to my moodiness, I had temporarily forgotten that I was a witch and I had powers.I smiled mischievously as I knocked on the door. As expected, the guards opened the door with a huge scowl on their face, "what do you want?" One of the asked, his voice deep as he tried to intimidate me."I'm thirsty," I said, "I need water.""I'll get a maid to bring it to you," He said and attempted to shut the door but my I quickly placed my foot in the way, stopping it from closing on me."Take your feet off the door, princess," He said, his frown deepening. I knew he could easily push me away and shut the door but he didn't want to. Because although I wasn't my father's favorite, I was still his child and as his guard, he didn't want to hurt me."
XAVIERI walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my waist, drying my hair with another towel, then I proceeded to get dressed.As usual, I stood in front of the mirror as I got dressed. Ever since Temmy left, I found myself thinking about her all the time. It was as though she lived rent free in my head and I wasn't even complaining.I missed her so much, I just wanted to hug her and tell her how much I loved her. I wasn't one to show feelings but with Temmy, I didn't care, I just wanted her to know what I truly felt.Although I wasn't paying attention to the mirror, I noticed that its form began to change. It didn't look like a mirror anymore, it resembled a portal to a spiritual realm. That was strange.Perhaps I was hallucinating due to lack of sleep. I rubbed my eyes and when I looked back at the mirror, it was still the same. I had experienced quiet a lot of things but a mirror changing its form was new. Now alert, I reached for my hoister and took out my special
HAILEYI woke up to a sweet sensation on my lower back as Carter absentmindedly drew circles on my back as he held me tightly."You're up," He said softly and pressed a kiss on my hair. His movements were soft as though it was a normal occurrence that he had gotten used to. I nodded with a smile. "Good morning, did you sleep well?" "Never had a better rest" He commented, earning a chuckle from me."What time is it?" I asked, when I realized that the sun was peeking through the thick curtains. It looked bright for it to be early, and I felt well rested for someone who happened to wake up early and being awake all night. "It's just a few minutes past ten" He replied nonchalantly, stroking my hair gently. Instantly alarmed, I tried to stand up but his hold around me tightened."Carter, we need to go to the company," I reminded just in case he had forgotten. Lateness wasn't tolerated in the company and we had both strictly adhered to it "We can skip today" He said, pulling me closer
CARTER"We're so late. We need to get ready immediately," Hailey said as she laid beside me but didn't make an attempt to stand up.I figured her orgasms had worn her out. With a light chuckle, I got out of bed and carried Hailey with me, princess style, to the bathroom.I then placed her under the shower and turned it on, making sure the that the temperature was right.I grabbed a shampoo from the shampoo niche, poured it into my hands and lathered it up."That's mine," Hailey commented, as she thought I was about to wash my hair.I ignored her and rubbed the shampoo on her hair but she shifted away and turned to face me immediately I touched her hair."I can do it myself," She stubbornly said."I know you can but I want to do it for you so can you please relax and let me?" I asked patiently.Hailey smiled and eventually turned her back to me. I took it as a cue and I poured the remaining shampoo and massaged her scalp.I could tell it felt good due to how her eyes fell closed and sh
CARTERThe second I read the message, my whole world seemed to turn void. The only thing that ran through my mind was the fact that grandfather was dead.I wanted to doubt it and question the validity of the information but it was mother who sent it as in as much as she was annoying, she wouldn't like about a trivial matter like death, and grandfather at that."What's wrong?" Xavier asked when he noticed my reaction but I couldn't find it in me to come up with a reply. I just stared blankly at the wall.Xavier walked to my side and glanced at my phone to have a look at the message, "fuck," He muttered when he read the content, "Fuck. Fuck. Fuck" he cursed continuously.Hailey quickly wiped the traces of tears from her eyes and stood up, "what is the matter? You guys are getting me worried."Xavier glanced at me to relay the information to Hailey but when he realized that I wasn't ready to speak, he said to her, "Grandfather is dead!""What? How did it happen?" She asked, her eyes as w
HAILEYI took no offense in Carter's mother's obvious disapproval for me, instead I walked out of the mansion and strolled towards the garden. They were all mourning, hence the rising anger among them all. The best thing to do was to provide them with space to clear their minds. I too needed the space to think.A lot of things had happened recently and I was beginning to think that the reason for my rebirth had to do with much more than Tristan and Maya's betrayal. Perhaps the moon goddess wanted to open my eyes to reality. "Look who we have here," I heard a voice say, taking me out of my daze and when I looked up, I came face to face with Justin, Carter's bratty brother."Yeah, look at me" I muttered nonchalantly as I tried to by pass him but he stood in my way. "What do you want? Aren't you supposed to be mourning and not trying to pick on me?" I asked, clearly not in the mood to banter words with him."Oh, I see what you're doing," He said like he had found a map of a treasure is
CARTERI looked back at Xavier after I had pried open grandfather's mouth and discovered that his tongue was completely blue."Temmy warned us" Xavier said, looking disappointed in himself. "But we were too late""We just didn't know they'd strike immediately," I said, trying to downplay the fact that I was outsmarted by the enemies.Xavier nodded, not also willing to acknowledge that we messed up. "Since they have succeeded in killing Grandpa, it means that the next target is you." I grimaced. I knew quite alright that I was the next in line meaning that I had to act fast."We have to take care of them before it turns out of control, Carter" Xavier paused, watching me intently as he continued, "you do know that Hailey's father is involved, right?"Instead of giving him a reply, I stared at the wall behind him. I knew Hailey's father was involved and I didn't plan on being lenient with him.He came at me unprovoked and I was going to retaliate with full force. Hailey could hate me af
HAILEYEPILOGUECarter has been the best father to our daughter, Amelia. From the day he found out about my pregnancy, he had been nothing but caring.Every weekend, we always went shopping for baby items, even without knowing the gender of our baby.And when our baby was finally born, Carter's joy knew no bounds. Whenever Amelia cried at night, he'd ask me to rest while he fed her the milk and rocked her to sleep.He even abandoned the company for Xavier in order to be with me and Amelia. He was ever present and I didn't have any complain whatsoever. My only fear was that she'd grow up to be a daddy's girl and forget me.Carter treated our daughter exactly how I wished to be treated by my father. Everyday, when I thought I'd seen the end, Carter would come up with new ways of loving Amelia. I wouldn't be surprised if her first word was his name.After my rebirth, I had never thought I'd find love again. I had given up on it and planned that after carrying out my revenge, I'd start a
CARTER"She's really grumpy and demanding but I love every second of it," I said, knotting my tie."I'm sure you do." Xavier replied, "I'd even mistake you for the carrying the child because of how happy and healthy you look," Xavier's comment made me laugh. He was right as I had heard the comment several times. A lot of people said I was enjoying the process of fatherhood way to much and my reply was always the same,"Becoming a father to Hailey's and my child was the best thing that has ever happened to me in my entire years of existence." Though the pregnancy made Hailey act up and become easily irritated with everything including me, I didn't mind. I loved every single moment of it and because of that, I now had a journal where I document each day of her pregnancy. Her food cravings, her likes and dislikes and so much more.Another thing about Hailey was that the pregnancy made her conscious of her body. She'd stand in front of a mirror and comment on how fat and out of shape sh
CARTERHailey's behaviour left me worried as this was the first time I had seen her this way. After she threw up, I couldn't help but notice how deathly pale she looked and the fact that she didn't touch her food made me scared.I found it difficult to concentrate as my mind thought of several reasons as to why she looked pale. Perhaps was she sick with a deadly, incurable disease? Due to how deep in thought I was, I didn't notice when Xavier walked in, until he placed a document on my table and muttered, "Earth to Carter.""Oh" I looked at him, "When did you come in?""Not long ago," He replied, taking a seat, "What's on your mind?""Hailey," I replied."What about her?" He asked curiously."I think she's sick.""Why do you have that thought?""Because for the first time ever, she threw up and she looks pale," I sighed, "and when I asked her, she said it's that time of the month. I think she's trying to hide something from me," I placed my elbow on the table and rested my head on it
HAILEYMy relationship with Carter had improved considerable after the honeymoon proposal. We barely argued and we did everything together. He was the sweetest and the most perfect man for me. I had gotten used to his sweet side which he only used for me alone.Carter and I stood in the kitchen, which had become a regular witness to our intimate sessions. But that wasn't the point. We were baking a bread together for breakfast and we were waiting for it to be ready."Do you think it'll come out great?" I asked even though I already knew the answer. Carter was a great good and I envied him for that quality."Of course," He smiled, "Whatever I whisk up must come out delicious. Chefs kiss" He folded his fingers, brought it to his lips and kissed loudly.I rolled my eyes at him with a smile on his face, "Narcissist," I muttered."It'd be a waste to be this good and not show it off, you know that right?"I threw an ugly face at him and he laughed. "Don't tell me you're jealous?" He wrapped
CARTERI stood and stared at the vast expanse of greeny before me.Xavier had told me before hand about Temmy asking me to lead her pack.I knew what she was worried about.Temmy was capable of ruling, but the fear of the Innocent people having to suffer if any mischief came up was the issue.I'd been thinking about it for a while and I decided to finally say it to Xavier.A combined honeymoon, Carter and Hailey, Temmy and I.However we'd have to leave that pack and although the peace was all settled, it'd still take a lot of arrangements to make for a trip like that. "Xavier,"I called from behind as he walked towards me."What are you doing here," I asked and shook my hands." Thank you for accepting Temmy's offer," he thanked and he gave a stoic response."I've something to suggest Xavier," I began and he turned to look at me Interestedly." What is it that you've in stock," he asked as I kept mute."A combined honeymoon," I said and he stood shocked before finally getting a grasp
TEMMYI lay down on my bed, reminiscing about the relationship between Xavier and me.I shook my head to get rid of the thoughts to no avail, they consumed me whole.I'd been thinking about it the whole day, our relationship, my relationship with him.It felt even more different after the incident that happened last.When he told me that he loved me, I felt my heart thump rapidly but it thumped harder when I saw him losing consciousness in my arms.A Small part of me wanted to stop but I couldn't, I struggled harder to stop the rampage Inside of me.But despite all this, he didn't stop holding, despite the chances that it could be his last chance of survival.A thought clicked in my mind, I'd marked Xavier and he had as well, but I had no memories of doing so.Love was sweet and I ran my hands through the mate mark on my body, smiling like a Cheshire cat to myself.The small date, little Jabments of PDA when we both hadn't confessed our feelings to each other, the thrill that came wit
HAILEYMy face burned bright red as I realized what I had just done. "Uhm," I coughed awkwardly, "I..I didn't mean it like that" I tried to come up with an excuse but it didn't seem like Carter bought it."There's no need to retract your words, Hailey." He chuckled deeply, a sound that shamelessly made me want to clench my legs together.I was short of words so I decided to keep mute. Since I met Carter, I have never felt as needy as I felt at that moment and the most surprising thing was that I wasn't under any kind of spell that made my senses become heightened."Do you want me to fuck you or not," Carter asked, staring deep into my eyes, "Tell me you don't crave me as much as I do and I'll turn around and walk away, pretending that this conversation didn't take place."I swallowed the bundle of nerves that had formed in my throat. Of course I wanted Carter. I wanted him to do all sorts of wicked things he could come up with to my body. I wanted him to fuck me until I wouldn't be a
HAILEYI hadn't spoken to Carter since the fight. We just acted like we couldn't see ourselves, we just went about ignoring each other.I tossed around on the bed unable to fall asleep due to the pain of my injuries. I sighed for the umpteenth time as I sat up on the bed, thinking of a way to distract myself from everything.Finally, I decided that ice cream was the best option so I came down from bed and walked out of my room, heading downstairs.The living room was dark, only illuminated by the light coming from the kitchen. I contemplated going back to my room as I assumed Carter was in the kitchen but on a second thought, I walked further. The maids had probably forgotten to turn off the light.But I was wrong. A shirtless Carter stood by the kitchen counter, chugging down a bottle of water, his body on full display. I halted in my track, pondering on my next line of actions.I thought about heading back to upstairs to my room but just as I was about to drag my feet, Carter droppe
XAVIERAfter the chaos, we finally made it home. I towered over Temmy, watching her closely as she slept.She looked incredibly peaceful, a huge contrast to her earlier behavior. But I didn't blame her for that. It wasn't her fault. I could only hope that she was back to normal.Speaking of the incident, I reached for my neck, the exact place where Temmy bit me and absentmindedly caressed it. I wasn't sure if she realized that she marked me which was a way to stake her claim on me.I felt giddy that she remembered me even while struggling with demons. She choose me even while she wasn't in her right frame of mind. I could only hope and pray that she doesn't regret it because then, I wouldn't know how to act.I was glad that no substantial harm was inflicted on anyone as it would have made matters worst. Thinking back, Hailey suddenly crossed my mind so I left to check up on her but not before placing a kiss on Temmy's forehead.In Hailey's room, while she sat on the bed, Carter stood
