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
"Miss Gloria?" I composed myself, taking a deep breath. "You have no right to insult me.""I have every right," she snapped. "You’re nothing but a bitch trying to break Alexander and Laura's family, and I won't sit back and let a homewrecker like you do that to my family. How could you make Alexander shout at Laura? Who do you think you are?" I had no idea if he had shouted at Laura, but this woman was going insane."Stay away from my family and don't you ever think that my son will leave Laura for you because he never will. Not unless," she paused, and my heart clenched, anticipating the worst."He just fucks you and leaves you after that. But the real wife will continue being Laura.""Stop insulting me, please, ma'am. I know nothing about you, and so do you..." I started, trying to reason with her."Keep quiet, bitch! I know the likes of you, always doing everything to gain power." What was she even saying? Didn't she know that I was above her Alpha son? What power could I need fro
"What is the meaning of this, Alphonce?" I demanded, my eyes widening, shoulders dropping in shock as I stared at the sight before me."Miss Gift!" The person non other than Katie ran to me, wrapping her little hands around my legs. I wanted to say something but couldn't. The sight before me was too shocking for words.There stood Alphonce, with Nathaniel by his side. Katie clung to me, her tiny hands gripping my legs tightly. While I was happy to see the twins, something inside me screamed that something was wrong, it screamed danger. Elena, my wolf, was jumping in my mind, excited to see her pups, but I couldn't shake off the feeling that Alphonce had some explaining to do.Elena was happy to see the pups again but to me, something seemed wrong."You are indeed a good person. Thank you for bringing us here to see Miss Gift. We missed her so much. Thank you again, Mr. 'My daddy's-Alike.'" Nathaniel's voice pulled me from my thoughts, and I bit my lower lip, realising the kids didn't
We all froze at the sight of Katie standing some steps away from the door of my hotel room, her wide, doll-like eyes brimming with worry and concern. Turning to Alphonce, I couldn't see any shock on his face. Of course, there was nothing. Why would he even be shocked when he didn’t care about the kids? They weren't his after all.Suppressing the anger boiling inside me for his attempt to drag the pups into our problems, I turned around and sprinted past the reception to where Katie was standing. Her eyes widened in shock as she saw us."What did he do to you? Tell me right now, and I will deal with him," she demanded, her small frame radiating fierce protectiveness. Her concern melted my heart, and I managed a smile.I didn't know why, but both Katie and Nathaniel loved me so much. Could it be the bond?'Yes. They are ours after all. You should let them stay with us. You shouldn't send them to that monster,' Elena's voice echoed in my mind, and I tried to ignore her.'What? Are you tr
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
ALEXANDER'S POV The sight before me was staggering—a moment I never thought I’d witness again. After all these years, there she was, my little wolf, alive and impossibly beautiful. Her face was flushed, her lips parted slightly, and her breathing came in shallow gasps. That familiar hand, now matured with time, was stroking between her legs in her beautiful little garden that had fitted me perfectly all those years ago. Her fingers worked in a rhythm she’d clearly perfected for her own pleasure. Her other hand teased her nipples, sending shivers through her body, as if her skin couldn’t contain the heat she radiated. It felt wrong to look, but I couldn’t stop. Goddess, how could anyone tear their eyes away from something so precious? Even after everything, after being told she was dead, here she was—alive, vulnerable, and desperate. A painful knot of guilt and lust twisted in my chest as I watched her, caught between the desire to touch her and the understanding that something was
ALEXANDER'S POVThe dim lighting of the club did nothing to ease the tension simmering in my chest. I had been here since the incident back at the packhouse, but my mind kept circling back to that one moment, that one sight I couldn’t shake. My pulse quickened with the memory, twisting deeper into my chest like a knife. It had been hours, but the image of her—Miss Gift, as everyone called her now—walking away with Alphonce still haunted me.The way he had pulled her close, protective, possessive even—what the hell was going on? My gut churned with an unrelenting mixture of jealousy and confusion. I couldn’t ignore the questions flooding my mind.Who was Alphonce to her? Why was he so protective?And more importantly, would she stay behind for my pups’ birthday in two weeks, or would she walk away, indifferent to the plea I hadn’t even voiced yet? I gritted my teeth, clenching my fists until my knuckles turned white.“Dammit!” The curse left my lips like a growl, frustration surging th
DANIELA'S POVThe headlights of my car illuminated the parking lot as I pulled into a space, the bar looming in front of me like a bad memory waiting to unfold. This was the same place, the same damn place where everything had shifted. The one-night stand that turned into a twisted revelation, where the stranger I'd given myself to was none other than Alpha Alexander.A bitter smile tugged at the corner of my lips as my former friend's voice echoed in my mind, "You should try it. Having sex isn’t as bad as you think." If only she'd known how her advice would lead to my downfall.I stepped out of the car, slamming the door shut behind me with a force that matched my internal turmoil. Checking my watch, I saw it was already some minutes to nine. Time was slipping away, just like it had that night. But this time, I wasn't here for a casual drink or a reckless night of passion. I was here to face what this place had done to me.Squaring my shoulders, I walked toward the entrance where two
DANIELA'S POV“How long have you known Pearl Pack and the neighbouring packs, Miss Layla?” I asked, my voice smooth but with an undercurrent of urgency as I pressed the phone tighter against my ear. The other end crackled momentarily before the calm voice of my manager echoed back.“I’ve been here for five years, ma’am. So, I’ve known Pearl Pack for five years,” Layla replied. Her response made a small smile tug at the corners of my lips. Five years. That was exactly what I needed.“Is there something you wanted, ma’am?” she asked, her voice betraying a hint of impatience. I could picture her, probably shuffling through papers, expecting an answer, wondering why I had called at such an hour.“Yes, there is,” I replied, my grip tightening around the pen in my free hand. I glanced at my reflection in the mirror sitting atop the vanity, the soft lighting casting shadows across my face. The image staring back at me was calm, collected, but underneath, a storm was brewing. The events of ea
ALEXANDER'S POVI froze, my breath catching in my throat, disbelief spreading like ice through my veins. The sight before me was impossible, yet there it was. Alphonce—my twin brother, my blood—stood in the middle of the packhouse, the place we’d both grown up in. The same house our father had raised us before he passed, but for the past ten years, Alphonce hadn’t set foot here. We’d seen each other briefly at the airport that day, but he hadn’t once returned to this house, our home.But what shattered me more than his presence was the sight of my pups, one clutched in each of his hands. My future heir and heiress, caught up in whatever twisted game he was playing. Rage surged through me, burning in my chest like a wildfire. How could he? How could he involve my children in whatever vendetta he had against me?I turned, my eyes locking on Laura. Her lies echoed in my head. She’d claimed Miss Gift was the one who had kidnapped my pups, and I—foolishly—had believed her. I’d dragged Miss
DANIELA POVThe moment Alphonce appeared at the door with Nathaniel and Katherine in each side of his hands, the air shifted, thickening with tension. A suffocating silence fell over the room, every heartbeat amplifying in the stillness. The weight of unspoken words pressed down on everyone present. If a needle had dropped, it would have echoed like a gunshot.I froze where I stood, eyes fixed on Alphonce as disbelief flooded my senses. ‘He actually showed up,’ I thought, the sting of his last words still fresh. After everything, I didn’t expect him to come here. He should at least dropped the kids secretly earlier than coming here.Alexander stood stod still where he was, stiff and unreadable, though I knew better. His surprise was well-masked, but I could see it in the faint twitch of his jaw, the subtle way his hands clenched at his sides. Was he shocked that his brother had taken the children? Or had he realised he’d been blaming me for no reason?I glanced between the two brother
ALPHONCE'S POVMy fingers raked through my hair, frustration bubbling under the surface as I paced back and forth the length of my sizable but modern living room."Mr. Daddy's look-alike, why aren't we going home? Miss Gift said you would take us home." Katherine's voice, small but insistent, broke through the haze in my mind. Her wide, innocent eyes blinked up at me, and I felt a surge of irritation. But I couldn't snap at her—she was just a child, a kid who didn't deserve to bear the brunt of my anger. No matter how twisted my thoughts were, I wasn’t that kind of man. Crouching to her level, I forced a smile that didn’t quite reach my eyes. "Mr. Daddy's look-alike will take you home soon, don’t worry." The words tasted bitter, but the way her face lit up told me it was worth the effort. Each time I looked at her, I saw Gift in those features—her delicate nose, the way her lips curved into a smile. How could Alexander be so blind not to notice? Then again, I hadn’t noticed either u
DANIELA POV“What are you doing here? Who are you?” I screamed at the half dozen men who had just intruded on my personal table at the far end of the hotel. I had just come in to eat something and calm my nerves after what I had seen on the television, praying that Alphonce had managed to drop the kids off safely to avoid any harm while the man was already searching for them all over.I had just ordered a drink when the men appeared out of nowhere. “We are here to take you to our Alpha, Miss.” The one standing closest to me answered, his voice steady, and my heart sank in my chest. It began pounding as I sensed danger.‘It will be okay. Nothing to worry about,’ Elena, my wolf, intruded my thoughts, but I ignored her and stood up from my chair with a big smile on my face, trying to mask what I truly felt. Since I started my designing business, I had learned to mask my emotions well, which was one of the reasons I had succeeded. Now, I had many branches of work.“And if I may ask, why s
