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
“No, I’m not crying, baby. I think something has entered my eye.” Realizing my mistake, I quickly wiped my eyes and turned to Nathaniel. “See, I’m okay now.” I smiled at him while leaning to her side.“Nathanie!” Oh, Alexander was still in the room! My face flushed at the thought of him overhearing Nathaniel.All three of us—Nathaniel, Katie who clung to my legs as if I might vanish, and I—turned to look at him. But I made sure not to make eye contact with him. I knew the effect he had on me.No matter how much I resented the feelings I had for this man, I couldn’t stop myself. Despite the pain he’d caused me in the past, something still lingered, and it was maddening. Why did I have to feel this way about a monster who separated me from my babies when they were newborns?Why?"Let Miss Gift do what she likes most when she sees you."What was he talking about? What was he trying to imply?Could it be that he still had the thoughts that I was Daniela?Well, I was but not the pathetic a
"Miss Gift!" Nathaniel's voice pulled me from my thoughts. I turned to my left and saw him shaking my hand, worry and fear etched on his young face. His eyes told me he had been trying to get my attention for a while.Poor child!My pups must have gone through a lot and their father was there but the man was dumb not to see what was happening to his pups.I nodded then leaned to his height."If you tell Daddy, he will punish Mummy, and if that happens, then Mummy will make our lives more miserable," Nathaniel said, wiping the tears from my eyes. His voice was steady, but the worry in his eyes was unmistakable.He was right. Even though I didn't care much about what Alexander thought of me, I had to consider the children. I might have made things worse for them. Alexander might punish Laura, but because she was an Alpha's daughter, he wouldn't abandon her. He'd dole out some punishment for her, but she'd come back to the kids angrier and more vengeful and who knew what she would do to
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
