***Amber's Point of View*** It was nearly impossible to leave the house unnoticed! I did, however, sneak out and go to the clinic. Dale was surprised to see me and dragged me into his office, closing the door behind us. I was supposed to confront him right away, but when he looked me in the eyes, I seemed to lose track of the reason for my visit. My heart skipped a beat when he smiled, especially when he licked his bottom lip in front of me, tempting me, and I couldn't stop myself. "Come here," he said, and he embraced me tightly without warning. He then kissed my hair. Wasn't it overly sweet? "Did you think about me?" In response, I nodded my head. "I miss you as well," he admitted, "but I was still disappointed when you refused to elope with me." "I'm sorry," I said, but when I looked into his eyes, I was instantly smitten. "You have no idea how much I've missed you," I said, before conquering his mouth to show how much I missed him. Dale cupped my face and kissed me passionat
***Amber’s Point of View*** Alpha Marcus led me to a room that looked similar to the one I was in. The room appeared spacious and comfortable, but I didn't have time to appreciate its beauty. Although I couldn't fully open my eyes after he punched me, I imagine it was also painted in darker colors. When I heard footsteps approaching, my anxiety level skyrocketed. When Alpha Marcus dragged me earlier, I assumed he would only hurt me physically; I had no idea he would use me sexually. He tortured me in bed the same way he tortured every omega who refused to submit to his demands. My hands and feet were both bound. Every time he used a hideous object on my body, my mouth was gagged and I couldn't even make a sound. He cheated on me! He tortured me! It was a nightmare, but it couldn't compare to the agony I felt when Dale told everyone I was sleeping with someone else in order to get pregnant. He destroyed the party, and then he destroyed me! That was something I couldn't forgive him f
***LUCY'S POINT OF VIEW*** I lost count of how many times I rolled my eyes as the maid helped me with my dress. Attending someone's coronation was always boring, and I would rather spend my time with my friends, but my father made me! I was furious, but I couldn't say no to an official order from the Alpha. I was his heir, and I was obligated to obey when it came to official business. “Beautiful!” I turned around to check my overall appearance after the maid exclaimed after assisting me with my outfit. "There's something on my hair," I grumbled, noticing a few stray strands. I wanted to look perfect at all times when it came to my appearance! "Lucy, you look like a goddess in that gown!" I turned around to see my sister Lily in her stunning gown. We almost looked alike because we were twins, but I knew I was more beautiful than her. Lily, fortunately, was the best sister anyone could have! She was not a jealous person, and she adored me as much as our father did! "Are you certain?
***LUCY’S POINT OF VIEW*** In everyone's eyes, I've just become his Luna. After the ceremony, the people who had witnessed our wedding gathered outside the church, and everyone was excited to enjoy the festivities and food at the pack. "Where are we going?" I inquired as he gripped my wrist tightly. "To inform your family that the feast at my place is far superior," he explained. “W-what? Are you sure? Everything is prepared at home, and they are expecting us!" When I realized what was going on inside my head, I complained. I didn't want to argue with him on our wedding day, but taking me away right after the ceremony would be unjust to both me and our community! "Serious as fuck," he replied coldly, and I was taken aback by the shift in his tone. He had never been cold or indifferent before, and I didn't expect him to change so quickly after the wedding. I had narrowed my eyes and tried to analyze the man before, but his expressions were so guarded, and at that moment, I realize
***LUCY’S POINT OF VIEW*** He became indifferent and cold to me over the next few days. He was just acting nice and kind to make me think he was such a gentleman. He was, however, not a nice guy. He was a cunning man, a ruthless tyrant who only wanted to expand his power by marrying me. Alpha Jacob probably assumed I wouldn't know everything, or that I was stupid. The sense of betrayal harmed my self-esteem and negatively damage my emotional health. Yes, I was a spoiled brat, but that didn't give him the right to use me for his own benefit! How dare he even consider it! I wished I wasn't so head over heels in love with him, and that I hadn't succumbed to his charms. I used to be a seductress, but he beat me to it! "Lucy, I can feel your piercing gaze. Come here now and assist me," he said. "No, it's not really convenient to face you in that state," I admitted, trying to shift my focus elsewhere. When he failed to fulfill his husbandly duties on our wedding night, I resolved to be w
****BETHANY’s POV****When tears began streaming down his face, I was overcome with emotion. “I can't live without you, please give me another chance,” Jacob pleaded nonstop but I really sensed that something was wrong. I just couldn’t pinpoint what it was. “One month. Let’s stay together for one month,” I told him.Jacob was overcome with joy. When I got out of bed and followed him to the kitchen, I sighed deeply. When I arrived, he was in the middle of making my favorite dish, and he smiled when he saw me.“I don't think we can make this work,” I voiced out my opinion because he was really trying so hard. He didn’t have to! “Yes, of course! It's possible,” he said. “We used to love each other very much,” he reasoned out, and by all means, he was correct.I used to adore him so much but I just realized that something was not right with Jacob Summers. I could feel it in my heart that he was hiding something from me. Maybe, I failed to notice it before because of my affection to him,
****Bethany’s POV***Slowly, I sauntered back inside. In order not to alert Jacob, I tiptoed as I opened the door, only to be welcomed with a sound slap that almost cracked my jaw. I was too stunned to speak at the moment and just looked at him.“How could you?” I confronted him for slapping me. The fact that he didn’t raise a hand on me before made it more disappointing. I was aware he was a rogue, but I didn’t expect him to be a bastard! Jacob didn’t say anything and just drag me to the nearest couch. I prayed he wouldn’t physically hurt me again, but it seemed he would by the fierce look in his eyes.“Stay away from him,” he commanded.To my surprise, he spoke as though was making a request rather than issuing an order. However, once again, he slapped me, and this time it was harder! “Stop it!” I complained while trying to shield my face from him but he was enraged with jealousy. “Please stop…,” I begged him, and the third one didn’t happen. Jacob clenched his teeth and tried to co
***Jacob’s POV***Gardening and cleaning up the front yard took up most of her time while I made sure to prepare something delicious for Bethany. Regret and remorse bothered me a lot after slapping the woman out of jealousy. I couldn’t forgive myself after doing that but the moment I saw her talking with Stefan, rage filled my heart. I couldn’t breathe properly while trying to decide whether to approach them or not. I trusted Bethany, but I couldn’t trust my brother, or anyone for that matter, except for Dale.Before meeting Bethany, my father constantly bothered me about taking a wife, or I would lose my title. The title didn’t mean a lot to me. What I cared was just about my happiness and I couldn’t be bothered about taking care of the pack or leading them.However, I learned about my father’s harsh treatment of women in the lower class. When I learned about it, I was too stunned to speak. How could he treat women so low? Then, the realization hit me. While I was having fun with my
***Bethany’s Pov***I averted my gaze because I felt naked in front of his eyes, but Jacob caressed my face and compelled me to look at him. For a brief moment, our gazes were locked, and no one dared to look away. Standing outside his room was inconvenient, so I wish he would move sooner. When he snatched me and dragged me into his room, I gasped for air. I didn't care that there were no words to describe the intensity of our need, whether sexual or emotional. In my heart, I yearned for him."Would you mind telling me what you want, my dear wife?"Jacob inquired about my desires, but I was at a loss for words. I was baffled! I didn't know what I was looking for except for him to touch, embrace, or kiss me. Without thinking, I threw myself at Jacob. I was taken aback by his sudden attack with his mouth, and my eyes widened as I realized I liked the way he conquered me with his lips. My knees started to wobble, and I had no choice but to grab his hand for support.I grumbled inwardly,
***Bethany’s Pov***The outdoor dining sets with umbrellas, cabanas, and chaise lounges that were set up for the event made the beach colorful and vibrant. “Good morning, darling,” he greeted me but I only raised my brows in response. He still smiled at me as if I had said something nice to him.“Leave,” I told him.“You can’t be so cruel to me this morning, sweetheart,” he complained, but I wasn’t in the mood to be nice to him.“”Can’t you see I am busy right now?” I snapped at him but he just grinned. What’s wrong with him?“Bethany, when did you become so vengeful?”“Vengeful? If you were in my shoes, would you still smile at me as soon you wake up?”“Don’t worry, darling. I will make it up later,” he whispered but I just snorted at him.“Whatever,” I told him but when he suddenly embraced me, I lost.“Come on, don’t be such a baby, and smile! Jillian is looking this way, come on, smile darling!” “I was horny and you just kept on sleeping last night!” I complained and although it
***Bethany’s POV***After my conversation with Jacob, I tried calling Dale’s number, hoping he would take my call this time. Previously, I tried calling him but his number was always out of the coverage area. I just wanted to check if he has seen the face of the Uncle who took Jillian for a trip. Although, I trusted my father’s words about Jillian being safe, I still wanted to check with Dale. If only he wasn’t so busy lately.“Hey! I'm getting married in three days," I jested as soon as he answered the call, but Dale took it seriously.“Wow, congratulations, Bethany. Jacob is a good man, and you're fortunate to have him." He stated."But I'm not sure about that. He appears to be a good catch, but he stated that marriage was ridiculous, can you imagine?""He loves you, and I know you feel the same," Dale said, but even if he wasn't there, I disagreed with a shake of my head.Before opening my mouth to speak, I swallowed the lumps in my throat. Every time I remembered his words, I fe
***Bethany’s Pov***I resigned to my fate as Jacob’s wife, but something happened. There was a commotion at the back, and when I looked around, I saw Jacob along with his men. His presence at my wedding alerted my father’s men, and the environment has turned into a danger zone. “Jacob!” I exclaimed as he approached me on a calm manner."I told you you are all mine. Bethany, you are mine. So get up and let's go home," he said, but no matter how slow his voice was, my father heard it and came over to us with a scowl."How dare you come here!" Father yelled at Jacob, and I was nervous as both men studied each other, with no sign of Jacob being afraid."Stop it, both of you!" I ignored the bystanders and yelled at both men. "Let's just walk away, Jacob." I've decided to follow Jacob wherever he would take me, than to get married to someone like Jacob. It would be boring!"Bethany, you can't do this to your father!" When we walked away, Roger Middleton shouted.I felt bad for my father bu
***Bethany’s Pov***It was late, and I knew my father was not at home. I decided to go for a swim in the pool because swimming usually helps me clear my mind; however, when I arrived, Alexander was already there!"Hi Bethany, would you like to join me?" He asked as soon as he saw me approaching, and I made a funny face.As if I could use the same pool water in which his body dared to float! His presence and carefree attitude disgusted me. "Never mind," I said as I prepared to leave.When Alexander called out my name, I turned around to see him approaching me. After seeing his hairy chest, I had to close my eyes for a moment. He didn't appear normal to me! He had so much hair all over his body that he looked like a monkey!"Do you like men with long hair?" I rolled my eyes to my head as he inquired. I was nearing the end of my patience, and Alexander put it to the test like a pro."Why do you have so much hair?" I knew I was being impolite, but I was enraged by his outrageous display o
***Bethany’s Pov***Sleep has always been my way of escaping reality. I closed my eyes and forced myself to sleep. A few hours later, however, I was awakened by someone, and when I opened my eyes, I saw my father standing near my bed. I glared at him again before closing my eyes, but he did not leave and remained standing!"Just leave me alone," I said as I wrapped the coverlet around my entire body."We have to deal with your situation, Bethany." He made an announcement.“Deal with it? How are you going to deal with it, Father? I am a divorced woman, and it was your fault for forcing him into the marriage!” I accused him of orchestrating everything along with my Aunt. It couldn’t be his idea alone.“You are engaged to someone else, Bethany. It’s not just Jacob, and thankfully, I made several deal when you were just a kid! It comes handy in your current situation,” he stated.“No, I am not going to marry another man. Once was enough, Father. My kids would be fine without a father figu
***Bethany’s POV***Tangled hedges and bushes surrounded an emerald field of grass. A single ornamental piece, simple but elegant in design, stood near the back. The smaller flower bushes were well cared for, but still given plenty of room to grow; they came in all shapes and sizes.The hedges and bushes grow to 1.5m/5ft in height, which was unusual and possibly unique to this garden. Marble slabs were scattered about, directing visitors to the best spots. Plants, grass, and roots appeared content with their positions in the garden, with none attempting to reach further, at least not yet.The ornamental piece commanded all attention, but it also draws attention to everything around it. The smaller flower bushes have no trouble attracting attention, and the hedges and bushes were certainly a sight to behold, but there's no way to win when the garden was designed with the ornamental piece in mind.It has been awhile since I spent a few hours in the garden, reminiscing about things espec
***Bethany’s POV***I thought Jacob was joking but when the nightfall came, he used his strength to gain access to my room. He was comfortably seated on my couch, watching television as if he had all the time in the world.“I am going to take a shower now, would you like to join?” He asked.“Not a chance,” I replied."By the way, darling wife, could you please get me a towel?"As the guy reveled in taunting me with his nakedness, my nostrils flared. "Please get it on your own; I'm too tired to get up," I said, lying."Hmm, I'm thinking about taking a shower later and sleeping now," he said, attempting to lie beside me.I jumped out of bed and dashed to the cabinet to get a clean towel for him. “"Here," I said as I handed him the towel then he laughed as he made his way to the bathroom.“Come on, Bethany. Join me! What’s stopping you this time? We used to do this before, remember?”“I don’t take a bath frequently since I got pregnant, Jacob.”“Lies,” he chuckled.About ten minutes late
***Jacob’s Pov***For a moment, I remained silent and simply stared at the woman who refused to terminate his pregnancy. I knew she was a wonderful mother, but having another bastard wouldn’t be acceptable. She has to marry me or terminate her pregnancy!Suddenly, her aunt entered with a tray of refreshments. I accepted a glass but I had no idea it could lead to something disastrous. She added something into the drink and only God knew what happened after that. When I regained my senses, I was tied up into a chair, along with Bethany.“I now pronounced you as husband and wife,” the man said much to my disbelief. When I glanced at Bethany’s reaction, her brows were also furrowed. She was probably confused, too! After the ceremony, they untied me, and asked me to kiss Bethany. Someone photographed the event, and it happened so quickly.“Jacob, please take care of our princess,” the woman said with so much emotions on her face, but I was still puzzled. My mind was befuddled and I didn’t
