CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: DARK REVELATIONS
Last Updated:
2022-05-01 03:46:45I stopped crying a while ago. I looked at my trembling hands, shame and embarrassment perched on my shoulders.
All… All I ever do is mess things up and cry. It seemed like it was the only thing I was good at. My entire body was still trembling with the aftermath of sobs, my fists clenched in righteous anger.
Why was I so weak? Why did I always mess things up? Why couldn't I do anything right? Why was I made like this?
I felt angry sobs bubbling in my throat again and I wiped my tears angrily, refusing to let it flow. Refusing to succumb to it. I was getting sick of crying so freaking much!
Perhaps that was my gift. I was given the powers of crying like a helpless child. For some reason, my heart bubbled with a tinge hatred against…myself.
Straining against my pathetic emotions, I groaned and leaned my head back against the library’s bookshelf behind me, my head going up harder than it should have and I gasped as pain exploded in

A finger traced my skin sensually - teasing and provocative in its languid movements. Big hands cupped my cheeks, warm calloused fingers leaving a trademark of arousal wherever they lingered."My love," A voice so deep yet beyond alluring drawled. It was almost like a whisper of death.The bed was dipping with the weight of this stranger and I moaned weakly when one of his hand left my cheek to sweetly caress my breast, the rhythm of my pulse slowly picking up. I have never been touched like this before and it felt so good that I didn't want to open my eyes. I didn't want to let go of this sinful dream.His other fingers left my cheek, my skin burning in its wake as he tiptoed them all the way up, five fingers curling around my dainty neck. The breath left my lungs when he squeezed, softly at first and soon, his weight dropped on me, trapping me under his strong body, a delicious scent intoxicating me - sinful, hot, intense, arousing.I was consumed by hi

It had been days since I first saw the damned prince in my dreams and since then, he’d become a natural occurrence.It was eerie. I couldn't shut my eyes without thinking of his dark and handsome face. I couldn't go to sleep without dreaming of him. He always came to me each night and sat at my side, either stroking my hair or standing at a corner of my room, watching me with hooded dark eyes. There was always blood on his hands, shadows lurking around him and he was insistent on two things, calling me His and pushing me to my death.The urge to go into his room was biting and tearing at my skin.It was becoming a chore keeping these dreams to myself. I didn't know what I had done to trigger them. I couldn't bring myself to tell Alpha Alexander about it because I didn't want to have to explain why I was usually locked up in a steamy position with his dead brother.I have been restless for days, bordering between anxious and maniac. Anxiety was bitin

I committed June’s directions into memory and found the grand kitchen in the lower east end of the mansion and when I stepped in, there was so much commotion going around. Someone was hacking at a slab of meat, another person had her arms elbow deep into a chocolate doughy substance, one person was balancing a stack of beautiful china plates on both hands and two people were working on polishing up a stack of wine glasses.Pots were bubbling on the stove, I heard the whistling of the kettle from somewhere else and a device- probably the oven- was dinging repeatedly.It was glaringly obvious that I had picked the worst time to listen to scintillating secrets over a pot of tea with the head chef.Someone noticed me and suddenly exclaimed, "My Luna!"Soon, a low hush swept over the entire room and I felt my chest swell with pride at the respect that was being addressed to me.

My heart jumped a bit when the large mahogany double doors had burst open. I squeaked and turned around, cutting off my conversation with June and turning to face the door with a straight spine and an attempt at a regal pose and calm disposition.However, my heart dived into my stomach when yet another maid walked in with a giant pitcher containing what could either be wine or water. She bowed low at her waist and continued on her way, setting the pitcher on the large dining table spread out in front of us and stocked up with mouthwatering food and drinks in preparation for the private feast I had invited my mate to.She bowed again before she left, walking out of the room and closing the doors behind her.My shoulders slumped.What if he doesn't show up? What if he doesn't honour my invitation? What if he denies my request? What if I was only setting myself up for rejection?I closed my eyes, shutting off the intrusive thoughts and wiped my clammy

My cheeks reddened. Adding that part had been a last decision. However, it was best to say that I was full of regrets right now. It had sounded so much more ballsy in my head. Well, everything happening right now was pictured very different in my head. For one thing, I was stating every word of the proposal with a confidence that was as unbending as Alpha Alexander’s principles. But you could obviously see how that was working out for me.I cleared my throat . “Well…um… I know you have the hots for Ophelia. I see the way you look at her,” I said in one breath, narrowing my eyes on anything but the Alpha.There was dead silence, further picking on my nerves, before he asked, “How?”“What?” I looked up now.Alpha Alexander was resigned back, graceful in the way he was lounged on the chair, reeking of absolute control and careful calculative eyes on me. “How do I look at her?”

My eyes glanced back at Ophelia, only to see the look of pure, unadulterated shock in those forest green eyes. Her mouth was slack, her jaw had dropped to the ground and her hand was grasping at her chest as if she was going to have a heart attack.I couldn't help it. I just couldn't hold it back. A maniac giggle burst out of me.Her eyes snapped to me when she heard me laugh, those lush green orbs swirling with hate and fire."What are you laughing at?" She snapped, her lips curling back into a livid sneer.The memory of her disgruntled face only made me laugh harder.Her frown deepened. "You may think you have it all right now. You may think that Xander is all yours, just you wait until he's sick of you and your naivety. When he realizes that you're practically useless in bed and out of it!"Her words burned a fiery trail down my throat and I swallowed and glared at her, my insecurities washing over me and overwhelming me with the ne

Solan was absolutely livid.But I quickly found out that her anger was not a fiery blazing inferno, it was a blistering cold snow storm.Chills skated up my spine as she let me lead her back to my room and called on June to assist to clean up my wounds.I clamped my mouth shut as she set to work, scolding me and muttering about Ophelia while June who wore a worried expression on her face stood by her side with a metal tray half filled with a sterilizing medicine.I squeezed my eyes shut at the stinging pain as Solan dabbed at my injury with a cotton swab dipped in methylated spirit, her actions tact and precise.As she worked, she muttered under her breath, "Who does Ophelia even think she is?" She scoffed out a chuckle in wicked amusement. "A common scullery maid like her that cleaned out chimneys-"Her earlier words against Ophelia had been unintelligible mumbles that I didn't really pay attention to but the words that just left her

Alexander had been scarce lately. I hadn't seen him since the day I invited him to that private banquet just to present my preposterous contract to him. There hasn't been any news about it's implementation but I didn't feel quite so antsy anymore. Another person that had been noticeably scarce in my life is Ophelia. Her screaming, suffocating presence had always been so heavy in this house but these days, it seemed like she put a drab over herself in order to mute her aura and purposely avoid me. I knew it was a purposeful attempt and she hadn't actually left the house because I ran into her the other day when I wanted to help Laura in the kitchen. However, she only acted as though she hadn't seen me and continued on her way. It was exhilarating, to say the least. But I knew for a fact that it wasn't because she was afraid of me in the least. No. It was because Lady Solan had become a frequent visitor these past few days in a bid to find out what exactly was

Ophelia was heaving, livid and angry and I was about to ask what I did wrong now when she shoved me, her eyes, greener than I've ever seen them sparked with rage."You're such a goddamn slut!" I stopped breathing for a moment, catching myself and leaning against the sink to stop myself from falling. My throat tightened around the lump wedged there. "W- what are you talking about?" "I can see right through your pretensious face, you annoying fucking whore."I swallowed, "look, Ophelia, I have no idea what any of this is about. And you're one to talk, seeing as all you did was sleep with Alexander for favours-"I didn't expect it. Didn't see it coming. She lurched at me, completely overtaken by rage and slapped me hard across the cheek. So hard that I slammed against the mirror.I heard the distinct sound of glass shattering, an almost far off sound, like I had detached completely from my body.I heard her turn the lock on the door, locking us in, completely seizing the breath from

His strong hand immediately clasped around mine and I felt the raw, electrifying power thrumming from his soul.It was exhilarating. Intoxicating. Making me want to share in his obscene amount of power. He smiled a twisted smile at me, almost like he could hear my thoughts and I swallowed and tried to school myself into cool nonchalance.He pulled me to his side, "not with me. You don't have to pretend with me.""I'm not pretending," I lied, swallowing a nervous lump.His knowing look told me that I was full of shit.I frowned, glowering at him and he only laughed and grinned contently to himself, leading us to the middle of the dancefloor.My breath stuttered out of my throat and I noticed everyone had stopped what they were doing and were now staring at us, collectively holding their breath. Even the music stopped for a second, and started again, taking on a darker, more rapid and chaotic edge.The entire room seemed to have been swallowed by darkness, with a single spotlight shinin
FALLING FOR THE WRONG ALPHA CHAPTER THIRTY NINE: DEVIL'S HAND
Alexander's lips traced a fiery path across my jaw bone, reaching up to whisper into my ears. "You look very lovely, tonight, Venus."I let out an incomprehensible whisper that was a cross between a moan and an incoherent mumble and one of his hands pressed into the curve of my waste, pressing me to him, his other hand disappearing under the slit of my dress to caress my thighs.My entire body was trembling with delirious need. I wanted to melt into him but I didn't know what to do with my hands that wouldn't stop shaking."I wish I could show you how much I appreciate you in that dress."Another unintelligible groan escaped my lips as his fingers travelled upwards.You know, in hindsight, I blame June for all of this.While prior to now, she had chosen ball gowns with tight bodices and bogus skirts, tonight, she dresses me in a stunning silver gown that clung to my body in all the right places, leaving very little to the imagination. The backless dress and edgy slit all the way up my

"You're mine, Venus." The voice was dark, familiar and far away. "I will raze this goddamn pack before I let any harm come to you."A solemn oath. The whisper of a promise.I floated in and out of consciousness, not sure if Cassius had really said those words, or if they were broken remnants of my shattered dreams.I finally roused awake the next morning, nauseous and sick to my stomach, my head spinning wildly. The sun rays slashed across my skin, pricking me like a thousand tiny needles. I pried my eyes open only to be hit by a wave of nausea so strong, I shut them back immediately."Ouch," I moaned, my hands coming up to hold my head, my heart pounding in my head, a headache starting to cant a new beat in my skull."Venus," I heard a familiar voice, the sound of someone scampering over to my bedside in a rustle of tulle and fabric.I opened my eyes slowly to see June staring back down at me, obstructing the biting sun rays. Her beautiful face was pinched into a worried look, concer
FALLING FOR THE WRONG ALPHA THIRTY SEVEN: PARTIES AND ENEMIES
I swallowed audibly as Alexander considered my request, his forehead furrowing a bit, deep in thought. "You said he just wants to show you around?" He asked for the umpteenth time. "Yes," I fumbled with my finger. "I think I need some fresh air and time away from this house. I've been cooked up in here too long and I don't know what the rest of Silver Dawn looks like." A guilty look flashed across his eyes and I winced as a wave of uneasiness washed over me. I felt horrible for lying to him but Sean did say that I wasn't supposed to let him know. And the last thing I wanted to do was put my potential friend in trouble. "You're right," he sighed, rubbing his forehead. "You should feel free to go out as you please, but does it have to be this late at night?" My eyes widened. I hadn't thought that part out. He was leaving for an important business trip to a neighbouring pack tonight and he wasn't going to be around to see me return late. Something I was thankful about. Still, 5pm
FALLING FOR THE WRONG ALPHA CHAPTER THIRTY SIX: THE DELINQUENT
I didn't quite believe it when I first heard it. But the visiting alpha taking over his former room had all but confirmed everything;Alexander had asked his brother to stay behind and even went on to prepare a banquet in honour of him... The brother who insisted that everyone call him the devil.Except you though, a voice slithered into my head, sending shivers snaking down my spine.I rubbed my elbow and chewed on my lip nervously, worried about his weird fixation on me. And mine on him.He made me feel things, stirring something in that part of me that should be numb to anoher man's advances. He would catch my eyes and give me a knowing look, mischievous fire sparking in his eyes. As if I was in on a secret he was keeping from the others.I was aware of his presence in a way that made me feel antsy and anxious. My gaze dragged to him whenever he was near, even when I didn't will it, and there was a ball of desire churning tirelessly in my lower abdomen whenever our eyes met, even i

Cassius' PovI never thought I'd be back here. It never occurred to me that they'd deliver themselves up to me like an offering and play right into my hands.We had retreated back into the house to draw up a better binding contract to solidify our agreement and sign on it to keep our ends of the bargain.I scoffed internally. Like a fucking piece of paper and some ink would hold me back from the havoc I was going to wreck on this pack. This dreadful pack was a blight that bled spite and bigotry from its pores. That puffed their chests with pompous pride and importance. That bred its pups to do the same.The idiot actually thought that the other packs will pay him heed.He had always been so full of himself, even when he was just a kid. Affecting more importance than he was worth.Hopeless, naive fool.Nobody will come to Silver Dawn's aid. The others will wait until the proud pack has fallen. They'll even be too happy to stand on the sidelines and watch. And by the time I'm done with

My ears were ringing with the absurdity of that statement."Well, hello, brother."I couldn't believe it. My ears were playing tricks on me. This must all be part of a dream I hadn't waken up from. Because Alexander's brother was dead. Or supposed to be, at least.I looked at Alexander and a myriad of emotions washed through his face. Disbelief. Guilt. Relief. Dread. And finally, fear.I had never seen him at a loss for words, completely frozen and so pale, he looked like death. Finally, his lips cracked open and he whispered one word, "Cassius."Even the name rocked me to my core, eliciting a shiver that trotted down my spine.I looked at the man only to see annoyance flash across his wickedly beautiful face. "Diablo," he corrected with a voice so deceptively smooth, I almost lulled at the tone of it. "The name's Diablo now."Alexander's lips split into a relieved smile, "oh my god, it IS you. How is this possible?" His face contorted into an incredulous look, relief, pouring from h
FALLING FOR THE WRONG ALPHA DIABLO IS COMING
The entire atmosphere in the mansion didn't lighten up even after news spread of Alexander's verdict and his decision to chose peace. If anything, everywhere grew more tense and pensive and snatches of conversations made it clear to me that I was nobody's favourite person at the moment.Just yesterday, I had heard snatches of gossip from the kitchen maids as they washed up the day's dishes, their tongues sharp and poisonous and slashing cuts into my skin."She has him wrapped around her fingers, I'm telling you." One of them had hissed, soaking up a charred pot to wash up later. "She's not good for our Alpha.""She's actually going to get us all killed and Alpha Alexander should be wiser than that. Who invites their own enemy to a tea party?""We're all doomed, I'm telling you. I would have left Silver Dawn but my indenture isn't up yet.""Me too. We're stuck here together, Clair."I had sighed and walked away, pretending I didn't hear them,
