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
DANIELA POV “Vivy, I really don’t know what to do.” I sighed, avoiding my friend’s eyes through the video call. “Look at me, Gift.” Vivian demanded. I lifted my face and stared at her through the laptop on the table. “What do you really want? Do you like him?” She asked. I dropped my gaze again, unable to answer. “See,” Vivian sighed, giving up on me, “Just don’t stress yourself so much. I know you can do this. You are always the strong one between us.” I nodded at her words, on the brink of saying something I wasn’t sure of when she continued, “I know I can’t make a decision for you, but from what I’ve heard you say, I would go for the kind one who has been good to me all along.” And that was the problem. I didn’t feel for Alphonce as I did for Alexander. Well, I felt for them both, but my feelings for Alexander were stronger than those for Alphonce. And again, my conscience wouldn’t allow me to be with Alphonce. I saw it as forbidden. But apart from all of that was the fact th
