ALPHONCE POVI paced back and forth inside my new hotel room, unable to settle. Fear was etched on my face as I tried to remain composed, but it was in vain. How could I be calm after what had happened yesterday at the airport that led Gift to get out of the car in the middle of nowhere?My Gift!Goddess knew how much I cared for that beauty.All I could think about was the phone in my right hand. I kept calling her, not giving up, but she never answered. “Damn it! She’s angry with me!” I muttered, frustrated. Daniela had never looked at me like that before.There was also betrayal and not with that alone, but with disappointment. My Daniela was disappointed in me and it broke my heart into a thousand pieces by just thinking of that.This was the first time in five years that she had behaved this way. Daniela, or Gift, was always calm, never getting angry even when people made fun of her skin, which was all white due to a fire that had burned her. They would laugh and stare until
I scanned from side to side as I rushed through the long hallway and down the staircases. I still couldn't believe she was here. Daniela, the mother of my two adorable kids, was here. 'She is not the one,' I tried to convince myself, but it was hard. I knew I would be disappointed if she wasn't, but my heart wouldn't stop pounding in my chest. I could feel its thumping in my ears. My wolf was jumping and stirring in my head, full of life, but no matter how many times I asked him why he was so happy, he wouldn't say anything. Just like five years ago, after learning that Daniela was dead, he remained silent.It was hard for me because I felt weak as an Alpha. I couldn't perform my duties well back the but later on, my wolf forgave me.But, it took me long before I could come to terms with it.Pushing all thoughts behind me, I turned to another hallway and followed a corner that led to the living room of the packhouse. I froze, my knees going numb at the thought of meeting her again.
DANIELA POV"Her name is Gift. She’s here to make your baby sister a beautiful princess dress for your upcoming birthday," Lura answered, and I felt a burning in my heart. My heart dropped as I gazed at the little boy in front of me. I wanted to wrap him in my arms, kiss his full cheeks, and run my hands through his dark hair, just like his sister’s. But I couldn't. All my babies were in front of me, yet they felt so far away.Holy shit! Would I survive this?'You need to calm down, Ela. You need to control yourself before they find out about us and chase us away from our pups permanently. Who knows what this heartless woman might do when she finds out we are back, that we didn’t die?' Elena's voice echoed in my head, and I sighed.She was right. I had to be careful. I couldn't risk being discovered. I had to do what I came here for and leave. Time would come—time to take back everything these heartless people took from me. I would avenge every pain they caused me.Clenching my teet
But instead of shouting and lashing out, I broke into a hard laugh, causing the man before me to gaze at me in confusion. "You are really something else, Alpha," I continued after the laughter subsided. He sighed, visibly frustrated."But anyway, I am so sorry to disappoint you because I am not who you think I am," I said, though internally, I was burning with fury. The urge to slap him multiple times surged within me, a desperate need to pour out all my anger from five years ago on him. Even knowing it wouldn't be enough, I craved any outlet for the rage simmering inside my heart."Could you guys be related? Because she looks just like you. Her scent is also all over you," he remarked, his observation making my shoulders tense. The urge to avert my gaze was strong, but this was the moment to ask the question that had been gnawing at me for so long."Why are you into this person? Who was she to you?" I blurted out. Alexander stepped back, his face falling. Sadness shadowed his demeano
"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
