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
Wait, was he drinking? At this time of night? The acrid scent of alcohol wafted from him, unmistakable and strong. "You were drinking?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Alphonce moved away from the door's pillar, his steps unsteady. Concerned, I quickly grabbed his shoulder, guiding him to my bed. "You shouldn't drink like this, Alphonce" I warned, but he just smiled lazily, his eyes unfocused, like he was seeing me for the first time.I'd known Alphonce for five years, long enough to understand he wasn't the type to drink himself into a stupor. Not unless something was deeply troubling him. Was I the cause?Or wad it about that kiss?"Y-you are very beautiful," he stammered, and I couldn't help but look away, my cheeks warming under his gaze.He was undeniably drunk."Why drink yourself like this? Where are your bodyguards?" My questions seemed to float into the air unanswered, as he continued to smile at me, an affectionate and somewhat vacant expression in his eyes."You l
DANIELA POVA week had passed since Alphonce’s drunken confession in my room, and his presence had been marked by an eerie absence. Each time I called him, he would just tell me that he was busy and that he would call when he was less busy leaving me feeling more unsettled with each passing day. Something just told me that he was avoiding me.But the question that was disturbing me was why was he avoiding me?I needed to know what had made him drink like that but he never called again after that.And again, I still needed to know who he was talking about. But still, there was no Alphonce.I tried to reach out to him through his bodyguards but I also couldn't reach them.I just hopped Alphonce was okay.I would look for him after what I was going to do today.I also needed to know what would happen after I delivered the kids' birthday clothes. Because as sure as crystal, I wouldn't return to United States anytime soon.I needed to fix Laura and rescue my pups from her heartless self.
"Take me back!" I demanded, baffling my bodyguard beside me as he checked on me. "Where, ma'am?" he asked, his eyes betraying his reluctance. I knew for a fact he didn't want to take me back but I had decided abd I was the boss here, no one else was.I glared at him, sure he knew exactly where I wanted to go but was pretending dumb. Ignoring his feigned ignorance, I retrieved my phone from my purse and dialed a number, my rage resurfacing."Ma'am..." he started, but I raised my hand to silence him. I needed to handle this myself. Laura had crossed a line, and I knew exactly how to deal with her. I was sure as crystal that I was her. "Alpha Alexander, I need to talk to you," I said as soon as the call connected."Hello, Miss Gift," he responded smoothly, surprising me. He had saved my number. I swallowed hard, caught off guard but determined."Are you around?""I'm heading to the packhouse now. You can come," he continued."Thank you, I'll be there soon," I replied curtly before end
ALEXANDER POVAS Gift's car sped away, I watched, feeling fury boil inside me. I clenched my fists so hard my knuckles turned white. Beside me, Laura stood pale and trembling. Glaring dagger at her, I tried to calm myself because the anger I was feeling right now, could lead to something that I might regret later."Is that the reason you called me telling me I should be careful with her being around the kids?!" I asked, trying hard to remain clear. My voice was already breaking with full rage.I couldn't this woman here, calling herself Luna, could do such a thing, putting our pack in trouble.Instead of answering, Laura dropped her face, her face already pale as she trembled.That was enough to answer."What the hell were you thinking by going after her, Laura?" I growled again, my voice low and dangerous. The beast inside me stirred, ready to unleash its wrath."Alex, please..." Laura began, but her voice wavered."Don't you 'Alex' me," I snapped, stepping closer to her. "You might
"Gift!" Alphonce called after me, but I was already running down the stairs, ignoring him."Wait, it's not what you think!" He continued calling, his voice desperate as he tried to explain himself, but I kept rushing out of the bar.Why was I so angry? I shouldn’t be! He was nothing to me. Yet here I was, behaving as if we were dating. Alphonce could do anything he wanted. It was his life after all. But I couldn't stop the anger boiling inside me after seeing him with those women in the VIP room. It was painful, and Elena didn’t help either; she was fighting within me, making my head ache.All the years I had lived with Alphonce since he saved me, I had never seen him with a woman. Maybe that was why I was now furious at having caught him with women."Stop!" Alphonce was already a few steps away from me, and he grabbed my left hand, forcing me to halt."I'm sorry." That was the only statement that came out of his mouth.Sighing, I turned to look at him. I quickly covered my nose with
ALEXANDER POVI paced back and forth in my office, the events of the morning playing over in my mind. Miss Gift had left the packhouse in anger, and her accusations against Laura were alarming. I couldn’t shake the image of her standing there, strong and determined, confronting Laura without hesitation. It made my heart pound with a mix of admiration and guilt. I knew I had to find out more about her, and more importantly, protect her.I had other responsibilities to attend to first, though. There was a rogue on the loose who had killed the two she-wolves, and it was my duty as Alpha to ensure the safety of my pack. Steeling myself, I pushed thoughts of Gift to the back of my mind and focused on the task at hand.I needed to work. I couldn't keep on thinking of her. By the way, she she came into the pack, she had been making my life hard. Nowadays, it was hard for me to do anything apart from thinking about her.Her green eyes, her curvy body amd her boldness made me want to have her
