CHAPTER TWENTY THREE************Rose's POV************"So tell me, whose dresses are these?" Leo asked as he went through the bags."Hmm, they are for Rose." Leticia said hesitantly."Oh, really." Leo asked as he picked a crop top and checked it."And is this for her also?" He asked with a raised eyebrow. Leticia yanked the top away from his hands and snorted."I told you to get clothes for someone and you got yours?" He asked."Hey.. Brother.. Erm… I am your sister… Even though she is your girlfriend. At least don't be partial." She stuttered and squeezed her face."Girlfriend?" He asked with a scoff. I looked at him and carried my bags. I passed by the both of them and walked to my room.I pushed the door open and slumped on my bed."Can things get any better?" I thought.Knock! Knock! Knock!"Come in." I said and rolled over my back."Rose." Leticia called out softly. I slowly sat up and saw her with a sad face."I am really sorry. I should not have done what I did." She apolog
CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR**********Leo's POV**********I honked my car at the gate. Someone ran towards it and opened it. I drove straight to the garage. "Is the Alpha in?" I asked him. "Yes, Sir." He replied. I nodded my head and locked the door. I walked to the pack house. As I was about to knock, I heard some voices. I dropped my hands and listened to what they were saying. "I don't know why you want to make him your Beta?" A feminine voice say. "You can't understand. The very moment I met at the meeting board. I had this urge to bow down to him. Like, submit to him." A masculine voice say. It is obvious that Blake and his mate were talking. "And what do you mean by that?" She asked. "As you know, my family is from a bloodline of Betas. The Alpha of our pack stepped down because he could not birth a child." Blake explained. "So how does that affect you?" She asked. "I don't have this sense of authority as he has." He said and I could visualize him slumping his shoulders in sa
CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE***********Jeff's POV ***********"I will lead the pack." I declared."What?!" He yelled surprised. I let it a snort."You need an Alpha and here I am or… Do you know want to challenge me?" I asked. Knowing fully well that he stood no chance.Even though I don't practice. I know so much."You know nothing about being a Beta not to talk of Alpha, tell me how will you lead the pack?" His mate blabbed. I looked at her and raised an eyebrow."You had better watch your tongue, woman." I warned. She flinched and took two steps back."And besides, Leo..""I am not Leo." I said and flashed my golden eyes. "You… You…" He stuttered with eyes wide open."Yeah, I am his wolf, Jeff and also nice to meet you." I said and stood up. I extended my hands but he was scared to take it. "So what do you think?" I asked and walked towards the window with hands in my pocket."Step down from the Alpha's position and be my Beta." I said."I will." He declared. I whirled around immediatel
CHAPTER TWENTY SIX***********Leo's POV ***********The ray of sunlight pierced through the window and somehow the window could not cover it. I sleepily brought my hands over my eyes to shade it away from the sun.I tossed around on the bed and laid on my right side. Didn't feel comfortable. I turned around to the other side. Didn't feel comfortable either. Guess it's high time I opened my eyes. I slowly opened my eyes and rubbed it, trying to clear my blurry vision. I looked around.Where is this place?Painted in brown walls, cream curtains matching it giving it a unique combination. Paintings of a wolf sitting beside a river and looking at its reflection hung at the right corner of the room. Then I looked on the bed.A Gucci design bedsheets with its pillow case was laid on where I was lying on.I don't remember coming here.I sat up and winced as my right foot touched the cold floor. I dropped the second and stood up. I felt weakened in my knee that I almost feel back on the
CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN********** Leo's POV**********"Hey, bro, when are you coming home?" Leticia asked as soon as I placed the phone beside my right ear."Soon." I said.So I have been in this office since morning and going through paperwork. All thanks to Jeff, I am now an Alpha of a pack."You are welcome." The dummy said. I scoffed.I never knew it was this fun to have a little voice in your head, whispering things to you."We have lots of things to discuss." He said and I could feel seriousness in his tone."But first, it's evening already. Mate will be worried about us." He said."Are you going to accept her?" I asked as I dropped a file."We. Are we going to accept her?" He said and uttered a snort."Isn't she your mate?" I asked, teasing him."She is our mate." He replied."You know I am tired of your teasing, now let's go home." He said and I could no longer hear him.How does he do that? I packed some files in a drawer close to me and stood up. I stretched out my bones an
CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT***********Leo's POV***********I turned off the car and stepped out. I locked the doors and ensured they were properly locked.I walked towards my house. Now that I could talk to my wolf. I feel somewhat connected to him more.I knocked on the door."Who's there?" I heard Rose's voice call out in question. I don't know why but I felt my heart skipped a beat.She opened the door and I came in contact with a rare pair of amber eyes.She looked at me and pulled the door open. She paved way for me to enter. I passed by her and sat down on the couch. "And where is Leticia?" I asked as I unbuckled my shoes lace."She.. Her boyfriend came over to pick her." She said. I nodded my head."When do you plan to leave?" I asked her."Huh?" She asked and I chuckled quietly."Just joking." I said. Don't know why I said that. I shook my head and chuckled. I yawned and walked tiredly yo my room with my shoes in my hands to my room. I switched on the light and walked straight
CHAPTER TWENTY NINE**********Leo's POV **********"What is your name?" I asked her as I patted her on her fur. "Give me control. Stupid." Jeff said impatiently. "No." I disagreed. Then I noticed Rose was beginning to shake on her knees and in a blink of an eye, she fell on the bed and blacked out. "She needs rest. Shifting at such age takes a great toll on people." Jeff said silently. I nodded my head in agreement as I covered her wolf with the blankets. I stood up and went to sit on the couch. **MORNING** I heard someone barked out. I groaned and slowly squinted my eyes open only to see Rose still in her wolf form and looking at me like I had just descended from heaven. I smiled a little and stood up. I walked towards her. It was so early in the morning and the sun was just beginning to rise. "Good morning." I cooed. She barked at me. "Tell her to change back to her human form." Jeff said. "Shift back to your human form." I said and she barked agai
CHAPTER THIRTY***********Leo’s POV***********She stood there with my clothes on her. She looked… I gulped hard and quickly averted my gaze away from her. Ladies can be so enticing. I coughed out and cleared my throat. “it’s morning. Ain’t you hungry?” I asked as I stared at anywhere but her. “I… I am sorry. My clothes were not in your room so I had to wear yours.” She explained nervously. I waved my hands dismissively and nodded my head in understanding. “Don’t worry. It’s nothing. Besides it looks good on you.” I said before realizing what I had said. I clamped my lips shut and looked away. These lips of mine.“Erm… what would you cook?” I asked her changing the topic and also preventing her from thinking about I just spilled out.“I… erm… I don’t know how to cook.” She said silently. I looked at her with eyes dilated in shock. She does not know how to cook, how possible is that?“You can’t?” I asked her again to be sure.“Nope.” She said and made the pop sound. I relaxed on
