"The hell are you doing in my room? And who gave you permission to get in?" I stopped at the door, feeling anger rise within me as I glared at the person standing comfortably by the window."Gift, you are...""Please, don't 'gift' me!" I shouted at him and spun toward the hallway. "Who allowed him in my—"Before I could finish, Alphonce was already behind me, pulling me inside the room while covering my mouth to prevent further shouting."Please, you need to listen to me. I can't stay away from you anymore." I pushed him away, freezing at his words."What? What are you even saying?" I ran my hands through my hair, trying to calm my racing heart. I didn’t know how to deal with these two men anymore. I had just come from Alexander's place and hadn’t even rested, and now Alphonce was on my throat. What did they want from me?Did they want to finish me?Well, at this point, I could tell they would succeed."Look at me, Gift." Alphonce cupped my cheeks, and despite my anger, I faced him. H
I must admit, despite having worked in the packhouse for so long, I still didn’t know much about the Alpha's family. As an Omega, I wasn't allowed to interact with them, let alone speak with them. All those years, I kept to myself, not wanting to get into trouble. But who would have guessed I’d end up having a one-night stand with the Alpha himself?Especially with teh rumours! I sighed, not wanting to think about that.And again, if Alexander knew who I was that night, he wouldn't have hesitated to strangle me alive. No Alpha wanted the shame of being associated with an Omega, especially one who was rumored to be the daughter of a prostitute. I bit my lower lip, trying to suppress my anger. It was hard to forget that.Well, I never knew my mother; she died when I was very young. All I knew was the whispers that she used to be a prostitute, or so the other pack members said. Because of these rumors, no one wanted to associate with me. I had been alone until a drastic change came.No
"I came here to warn you!" Her voice was full of anger, and I could sense something else there. Was that jealousy? Folding my arms across my chest, I smiled at her annoying her more."I don't know who directed you here or if you followed me, but stay the hell out of my way!" I shouted. Her cold face didn't change as she stared at me. I didn't give a damn about her. Besides, I wasn't the naive and timid girl I used to be five years ago. I was totally s different person, and Laura didn't have the right to snitch on me."You can lie as much as you want, but I know who you are." I froze at her words as my heart started pounding in my chest, but I quickly composed myself. No, she shouldn't know anything!She was just playing with me, right?"What are you trying to say?" I asked, and thankfully, my voice came out steady, hiding the turmoil inside. Good, fear was invisible anyway."What I am trying to say is this," Laura moved closer, now we were face-to-face, her eyes glaring at me, and I g
In less than five minutes, I was at my company's branch. The workers, who had been laughing and chatting, scrambled to their desks the moment they saw me. Their abrupt silence spoke volumes; they already knew who I was. Though I had never worked at this branch before, my online meetings with all the staff had ensured they recognised me. I smiled at them as I walked to my office on the twelfth floor.Settling into my chair, I picked up the office phone and summoned my manager. Glancing at the newspapers on my desk, I flinched when I saw my face on the front page."MISS BILLIONAIRE, MOTHER OF FASHION, MISS GIFT, VISITS PEARL PACK TO STITCH PRINCESS CATHERINE'S FIFTH BIRTHDAY DRESS." I hadn’t expected this. I smiled, but as I returned the newspaper to the table, something else caught my eye. I picked it up again."Is it true that our Alpha is into her, or is it just rumors?" read the headline below the main story. The article was accompanied by a picture of Alexander holding my hand at t
“No, I’m not crying, baby. I think something has entered my eye.” Realizing my mistake, I quickly wiped my eyes and turned to Nathaniel. “See, I’m okay now.” I smiled at him while leaning to her side.“Nathanie!” Oh, Alexander was still in the room! My face flushed at the thought of him overhearing Nathaniel.All three of us—Nathaniel, Katie who clung to my legs as if I might vanish, and I—turned to look at him. But I made sure not to make eye contact with him. I knew the effect he had on me.No matter how much I resented the feelings I had for this man, I couldn’t stop myself. Despite the pain he’d caused me in the past, something still lingered, and it was maddening. Why did I have to feel this way about a monster who separated me from my babies when they were newborns?Why?"Let Miss Gift do what she likes most when she sees you."What was he talking about? What was he trying to imply?Could it be that he still had the thoughts that I was Daniela?Well, I was but not the pathetic a
"Miss Gift!" Nathaniel's voice pulled me from my thoughts. I turned to my left and saw him shaking my hand, worry and fear etched on his young face. His eyes told me he had been trying to get my attention for a while.Poor child!My pups must have gone through a lot and their father was there but the man was dumb not to see what was happening to his pups.I nodded then leaned to his height."If you tell Daddy, he will punish Mummy, and if that happens, then Mummy will make our lives more miserable," Nathaniel said, wiping the tears from my eyes. His voice was steady, but the worry in his eyes was unmistakable.He was right. Even though I didn't care much about what Alexander thought of me, I had to consider the children. I might have made things worse for them. Alexander might punish Laura, but because she was an Alpha's daughter, he wouldn't abandon her. He'd dole out some punishment for her, but she'd come back to the kids angrier and more vengeful and who knew what she would do to
ALEXANDER POV"Daddy? Why are you running? Is everything okay?" A small voice behind me made me turn around, and I was met with Nathaniel's wide, green eyes."Alpha Alexander, is everything okay? You look as if you have seen a ghost." Another voice chimed in, and I felt a wave of embarrassment wash over me. I recognized the voice immediately.Did Laura made fun of me? Was she lying again?"Daddy looks scared. What's wrong? I've never seen Daddy this scared." Nathaniel's words tugged at my heart. How could I explain to him that I was terrified Miss Gift was indeed Daniela and that she would take my them away from me?I never imagined I could be this scared in my life. My pups were my everything to me. The Goddess knew how much they meant to me. If not for them, things wouldn't be the same for me, especially after what Laura did to me."Daddy is okay. Just got an emergency and wants to take you guys home." I lied, forcing a smile at Nathaniel, who now stood right in front of me. I turne
ALPHONCE POVClenching my fists hard that they turned completely pale, I got up from the chair.This was unbelievable!The pain of fifteen years ago when I entered the house we shared with Clara and found her body drenched in blood on the floor returning and this time, it was blinding my vision.I paced back and forth in my office, the phone pressed tightly against my ear.I knew all this long it was her who killed my mate. But hearing her talking about it as if it didn't matter, angered me to the core. My core was already moving up and down in fury, my eyes turning to completely gold as my wolf fought to get out.I knew if Gloria was here right now, I would have ripped her apart by now.Fortunately for her, she wasn't. Gloria’s voice was calm but edged with a cold menace that made me wonder why Alexander couldn't see the evil side of this woman,"Alphonce," she said, "if you don't stop this madness, I will destroy you. Just like I did before."Her words struck a nerve. I clenched my
ALEXANDER’S POVWhat the hell was wrong with me? I was losing it, and this was not who I was. I had always been in control of my emotions, never letting them cloud my judgment. But ever since Gift reappeared, everything had started crumbling. The past—the one I had buried so deep—came clawing back to the surface like a beast refusing to be tamed.Daniela.Her name alone sent a sharp pang through my chest. It was like a curse that refused to leave me, a wound that never truly healed. And now, with every look, every movement, every damn breath Gift took, I saw her. I felt her. I remembered everything I did.Sighing, I turned and followed.*****LAURA’S POVI hated her. Hated her to my very bones, and I knew she was aware of it. She had to be. How could she not? The air between us crackled with unspoken words, with loathing so thick it could suffocate.Everything about her reminded me of Daniela—that pathetic low-life Omega who never knew her place. Even when I tried to erase her from ex
ALEXANDER’S POVAfter thirty minutes, everything concerning the pups was over. They had cut their cake, their laughter ringing through the air as they received gifts from friends, family, business partners, investors, and even Alphas and Lunas from other packs who had come with their children to celebrate.Now, with the festivities winding down, Laura had taken the pups to their room. A part of me hesitated to let her take them, but I pushed the thought away. Maybe I was overthinking. But something about Laura unsettled them, and I couldn’t ignore it any longer. The way their tiny hands clung to me before she led them away, the way their eyes darted toward me as if asking for reassurance.I needed to find someone else—someone I could trust—to care for my pups. Not Rose. Not the maids. Someone whose loyalty would be to me alone. I would make arrangements soon.Exhaling sharply, I turned back to the guests, scanning the room. Most of the pups had been taken home, leaving only the adults
ALEXANDER’S POVBACK TO PRESENTShock and relief crashed over me at the sight of Miss Gift. A part of me had been certain she wouldn’t come. But here she was, standing among the guests, her scent unmistakable even before I turned to look at her.I had promised myself that I would speak to her, but now wasn’t the time. Not with all these people around. Not when the weight of unanswered questions sat heavily on my chest. I needed clarity, but first, I needed patience.Yet my stepmother, as expected, couldn't let her breathe since she arrived.And then there was something else—something that nagged at the edges of my mind. The way Miss Gift tensed when she fell into my arms, the way her body stiffened before realizing it was me. It was like she had seen a ghost. That reaction... it was too much. Too telling.I was right. She was Daniela.The resemblance, the familiarity, the way my heart reacted in her presence—it was all too similar to what I felt that night, years ago. My instincts nev
ALEXANDER'S POVA FEW MINUTES BEFORE THE BIRTHDAY PARTYI had been looking for her since that night—since the moment that haunted my every waking thought. No matter how hard I tried to push it away, it refused to fade. It was burned into my soul.Daniela. My little wolf. My ajo. She had survived that night five years ago. I was sure of it.But if she had survived… where the hell was she?My men had combed every inch of the city, yet she remained a ghost. It was as if the earth had swallowed her whole. There was no way she could have vanished into thin air.A sharp vibration in my back pocket snapped me from my thoughts. My heart pounded as I pulled out my phone. Staring at the caller ID, I inhaled deeply, willing my temper to stay in check.This person better have good news. Otherwise, I might just lose it.I clicked ‘okay’ and brought the phone to my ear. “Anything?” My voice was cold, direct.“Alpha,” the voice on the other end hesitated. “It seems Luna Laura was involved in what ha
DANIELA/GIFT POVMy wolf, Elena, had been strangely silent since that night.I swallowed hard, unwilling to admit—to even myself—that I knew exactly who I had been with.But the plan was simple. Pretend I didn’t remember anything.“Excuse me, I need to prepare the gifts for the kids,” I said, my voice measured, my gaze locked on Alphonce. I deliberately ignored his request, knowing that my heart—no, my entire being—was elsewhere. Especially after that damned night.Goddess.I scoffed under my breath, my frustration simmering beneath my skin. Without another word, I turned on my heels and strode toward the entrance, my movements stiff with suppressed emotion.I could feel Alphonce’s eyes on me, a scorching weight against my back, but he didn’t follow. A deep sigh of relief left my lips, my chest heaving as tension slowly uncoiled inside me. If he had come after me, I wasn’t sure what I would’ve said.What was I supposed to say?All this time, I had believed that my feelings wavered bet
GIFT'S POV"They are in the car. We’re just waiting for the right time to bring them in, ma’am," Thomas reported, his voice low but certain.I gave him a small nod of approval. "Good job, Thomas."He hesitated, shifting slightly on his feet. I caught it immediately. "What is it?""Should I deal with Miss Gloria for trying to make you fall?" he asked, his tone sharp, edged with unspoken fury.A laugh almost bubbled up in my throat. My men were attentive—too attentive sometimes. They knew better than to stir up unnecessary chaos, especially when it concerned Alexander’s family."No need," I dismissed with a smirk. "The woman is already dying with old age."Thomas let out a deep chuckle before giving a respectful nod and walking away.I had made it clear that I hated being followed everywhere like a fragile thing. That wasn’t who I was. They needed to act like they weren’t with me, and for now, they obeyed.My focus shifted to the stage, where Alexander stood tall on the podium, his pres
GIFT'S POVI had no idea why I was here.After what happened at that hotel, I should have stayed far away, buried myself in my work, and pretended that night never existed. But here I was, standing outside the grand hotel, preparing to step into the very place where my past and present would collide.Two weeks had passed since that night—the night I let my past haunt me again, the night I made the biggest mistake of my life. I had worked so hard to bury those memories, to pretend they never existed, yet one foolish decision had brought them crashing back with brutal force.I had been drunk, yes. But I still knew it was him.He was my second one-night stand.And the irony of it all? Both times, it had been with the same man.The very thought made my stomach twist but I couldn’t forget that night. The man was gentle and wild at the same time but he made me want more than just the pressure which I knew it was wrong, especially after what he did to me five years ago."Ma’am, we’ve arrived
‘What do you mean? Who is she to us?’‘Is she our mate?’ I voice trembled, scared at my own words as I continued, dread filling my heart at the possibility.‘She isn’t our mate,’ He broke out and deep down, I felt disappointed but there was nothing I could do.‘Okay,’ Unhappily, I murmured before ignoring Ronald completely.Ignoring him, I lost myself in the rhythm, our bodies moving together as if we were made for each other. The only sounds in the room were her soft moans, my breaths, and the steady rhythm of our bodies."God, Daddy. You are so sweet!” she moaned, and I couldn’t hold back. I moved faster, my hands roaming her body as I pushed us both to the brink, making sure to touch every part of her hole, pushing her hard and deep.By now, I was sure my eyes were red with lust.This she-wolf was sweet, damnit!I would do anything to make sure she was mine!In one swift motion, I pushed all of my long and thick cock inside of her. She widened her legs as she moaned, her eyes alrea
ALEXANDER'S POV“You don’t have to ask twice—once is enough for a beauty like you,” I murmured, unable to resist what I felt any longer. I wanted her. I needed her. I yearned for her, and absolutely nothing could stop the desire I had for the little wolf in my arms.She was an Omega when she left, but here she was, beautiful, intelligent, and strong. Now, I realized I hadn't been wrong to trust my instincts. Somehow, I just knew this was the same miss Gift, despite her now-different hair colour.“Aah, please don’t make me wait!” she moaned, her hands trailing down between her legs. Her cheeks were flushed, and she lay back on the bed, turning her head slightly as she shyly reached out to pull me closer."Be patient, beauty. All beautiful things come with patience." My voice was firm but laced with longing as I hovered over her.Gosh, I missed this so much. I wanted her, and yet deep down, I knew I shouldn’t do this. She’d been poisoned; she wasn’t herself. I knew I should leave, let h
