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
ALPHONCE POV"I am not here to play mind games with you, Alphonce," Alexander shouted at the other end of the phone, causing a grin to form on my face.Deep down, I knew I loved Alexander; after all, he was my brother. We came into this world at the same time, from the same womb. I remembered many years ago when we were young. We used to play together, do everything together, and we loved each other so much that no one could come between us. Our father used to tell us stories of the two powerful Alpha twins who would rule not only our pack but also other packs. He used to say these two handsome and powerful twins would take over other lands, ending up creating their kingdom, ruling happily side by side with beautiful Lunas.I was young but I knew father was talking about the two of us, after all, we were his sons, the sons of the Alpha.Well, that was what father wanted, for us to unit and rule together without being biased.All that changed when our father died. Gloria brainwashed m
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
