Fatal Rules: The Alpha's Game Chapter 28: Under the Rain
“Get up,” Alpha Calix ordered.Why did he suddenly appear? I stared at him longer, thinking that maybe I was just under illusion that he came for me. Did the mirror’s power still affect me? Or maybe it was because I was getting dizzy. Wolf shifters had better immunity in all aspects compared to humans, but some of us couldn’t last in cold surroundings for long, especially someone as weak as me. Winter was nearing and it was evident in how cold I felt with my entire body soaked.“What? You want to die here?” his annoyed tone let me know that he was real. Illusion would be a little nicer, just like what I saw inside the mirror.I put my hand flat on the ground to push myself up. I slowly stood. My lips were shivering. Every nerve of my body was. After all, I had been staying outside for hours and an hour under the heavy rain.Thankfully, I managed to walk till we got inside. The shiny marble floor got wet and dirty. A maid gave Calix a towel without minding me. All of the servants must
Fatal Rules: The Alpha's Game Chapter 29: His Family
The sun had risen but the sky remained gloomy as the remnants of the heavy rain last night were still evident. Heading downstairs, I heard voices which didn’t belong to the maids. It didn’t take me long to know where the unusual noise came from. It was from Alpha Calix's Aunt Roselle and Sophie.“You, put that vase over there,” Roselle instructed the maid while the others were too busy obeying her whims to even notice me. Sophie was sitting on the long sofa, scrolling on her phone.As I stopped at the second to the last stair, the older woman drifted her gaze to me. Her lips tugged up a bit but her narrowing eyes didn’t leave her annoyance unnoticed.“You woke up late, dear Loraine. Sophie and I didn’t wait for you for breakfast. I hope you don’t mind,” her tone was quite friendly and I must say she had good acting skills. Maybe she joined the theater too? Or maybe did some acting lessons. No doubt she would make a good actress.“Of course, I don’t, Mrs. Voss,” I said, assuming that h
Fatal Rules: The Alpha's Game Chapter 30: Stranger in the room
I spent the rest of the day in my room, reading a book I picked up somewhere in the library. I didn’t join the two for lunch and had my meal sent over. Because obviously, they wouldn’t enjoy my company, nor would I.I slept during the afternoon. Yesterday was a tough day and I didn’t have a good sleep because I dreamt of the maid who was thrown in the Cursed Mirror. I could still remember the sound of her screams vividly. It haunted me.When I woke up after the same nightmare, it was five in the afternoon. I went for a warm bath to soothe my nerves and forget about it. After staying in the tub for almost an hour, I heard the door of the bathroom click and got alarmed.“Who are you?” I panicked. I couldn’t see the person on the other side because of the frosted glass dividing the bathroom.“Oh shit! I’m sorry, I think I got lost,” it was a man’s voice I wasn’t familiar with. Then there was a loud thud from the shutting of the door.I slipped on the full bathrobe and went to see who it
Fatal Rules: The Alpha's Game Chapter 31: We'll go hunting
“It was accidental-““So he did?” Alpha's eyes darkened.“I was on the tub. He didn’t see me. He immediately left when he knew someone was inside,” I reasoned out. It wasn’t something big deal but with his line of questions, I couldn’t help but get intimidated.“Why didn’t you even lock your door?”“I usually don’t lock my doors because the maids would always knock even when it’s open. Besides, I didn’t think any of the guests would wander around this part of the mansion.”“Get dressed,” he ordered before leaving the room.When I went downstairs, my jaw dropped upon seeing what a mess the main hall was. The maids were panicking in removing the decorations and putting back the things in their original places. Some guests had already arrived but Calix didn’t mind any of them. Roselle and Sophie were speechless on the side, couldn’t stand in front of Calix with the foul mood he was in.“I know you want to throw a party for me, dear Aunt Roselle, and I am truly touched by your thoughtfuln
Fatal Rules: The Alpha's Game Chapter 32: Prisoner in Asylum
The car stopped in front of an old dilapidated building in the middle of nowhere which looked like an abandoned asylum. It was rather creepy, especially with the tall trees and thick fog surrounding the place.“What are we going to do here?” I asked Alpha Calix when we were both out of the car.“I told you. We’ll go hunting.”My gaze went down to the pistol on his right hand. I swallowed hard. I had a bad feeling about this.“But why are we…” I stopped when someone from inside came out. A man in a black suit, must be in his late mid or late thirties.“Good evening, Alpha Calix. He is on the third floor, room 006.”Calix just nodded and started to walk. I had no choice but to follow him.On contrary to what I assumed, the building wasn’t abandoned and was clean inside. Pretty decent, even. There was no elevator so we had to walk our way up. There were a few people around who seemed to be Calix's employees because they bowed when they saw him, which made me think this might be Calix's s
Fatal Rules: The Alpha's Game Chapter 33: Big black wolf
“He’s fooling around,” Alpha Calix said.The man spit some blood and smirked. He looked at me. “Come on, Lory. Why choose someone so ruthless? You can do better than this.”“Quit the act and give me the answer I want, bastard. Who do you work for?” Calix was tapping on his gun with a serious expression.“How did you know my father? Did you work for him?” I asked before Calix would lose all his patience and pull the trigger.“Well, you can say that I worked for him some time ago,” the man nodded to himself. “It’s a shame you forgot about me, Lory I must say I’m hurt.”“Who are you?”“What, you forgot my name already? I just introduced myself to you a couple of hours ago, remember?”“But didn’t you give me a fake name?”He shook his head, a small smile cracked on his lips. “Nikolai Wheeler, that is my name.”“Why did you want to see me-“ The sound of gunshot made me stop. I turned to Lucius and I saw him raise his brow at the sudden interruption.Nikolai chuckled as if he knew what was
Fatal Rules: The Alpha's Game Chapter 34: A loyal dog
With no chance of putting up a fight, I ran to the opposite side of the corridor where there was a huge window at the end. I didn’t think using stairs would be of great help, so I thought of jumping off the window instead. We were on the third floor. It would surely hurt but it wouldn’t kill me, right?The wolf ran after me. I would have thought twice of jumping but I didn’t have the chance. Before the wolf’s teeth could reach me, I had thrown myself out of the window.I closed my eyes, expecting the impact of my fall.But I didn’t fall to the ground. Instead, I felt myself in someone’s arms.“What a crazy stunt you pulled there, little wolf.”Alpha Calix's voice somehow calmed me. Thinking I was safe with him around. Well, he was still dangerous in my eyes but I was assured he wouldn’t hurt me. For now, at least.“I couldn’t shift. Is that your doing? Did you perhaps make me drink something to make sure I wouldn’t kill you?” I asked when he put me down.“You think I am that petty?” H
Fatal Rules: The Alpha's Game Chapter 35: Won't think twice
“I tried to shift earlier when the black wolf was about to attack me but I couldn’t,” I said when Alpha Calix wondered why I asked him if he made me drink something that wouldn’t allow me to shift to my wolf form.He looked at me with a slight crease on his forehead. His expression was serious which made me think he truly didn’t know about it.“Did it happen to you before?”“No,” I quickly answered. I didn’t shift often back then because it wasn’t needed. “Then it must be because of the Cursed Mirror. It might have weakened the state of your mind. Wolf shifters need a strong state of mind since it is where the shifting process starts and the reason why those who have mental problems couldn’t shift. This is just an assumption though. I didn’t study about it because I never knew someone who got out of the mirror.”“Does that mean I wouldn’t be able to shift forever? Or is it just temporary?” Wolf shifters who couldn’t shift were considered a disgrace and bad luck to their family and pa

Fatal Rules: The Alpha's Game Chapter 85: I love you, Alpha (Epilogue)
Tears of joy rolled down my cheeks when I read what is written in the invitation delivered to me. Calix, who was carrying our little girl in his arms, went to me with an alarmed face when he saw my expression.“What is wrong?”I shook my head and smiled. “I’m just happy.”“Happy about what?”His eyes drifted to the invitation card I was holding.“Jaxon is getting married to his mate?” His gaze went back to me and I saw his worried face as if something is wrong with me, or that I feel bad about it and he wants to comfort me or something.“Yes.” Whoever this Lea is, I am happy that she filled the hollow part in Jaxon's heart. He is such a good man and I have been waiting for this day to come. For him to be finally happy again. For him to be loved again the way he deserves to be. And I feel so glad that I couldn’t help but burst to tears.“You are upset because he’s getting married,” Calix stated in a calm voice as if he understood clearly that I love another man aside from him.“No! I d
Fatal Rules: The Alpha's Game Chapter 84: Pregnant Wife
After one month…As soon as I got out of bed I immediately felt nauseous. I quickly run towards the bathroom. I grabbed my hair and vomited on the sink.Early in the morning this is what happened. So I couldn't help but doubt that Lili's suspicion was true. From what I've heard, pregnant women sometimes have morning sickness.I heard the bathroom door open, I no longer bothered to look back because I was busy vomiting. No one enters my room without asking for permission first except Calix."Lory," his voice was soft.I thought he already left last night but here he is, fueling my irritation again."Why are you here? Get out! I don't need you here! You should leave me!"I tried to get out but he just blocked me. With our body's closeness, I can smell his manly perfume. I inhaled his scent. It's so fragrant I feel like I want to smell you all night.But I tried to ignore the feeling of wanting to hug and smell him all day."Don't block my way, Calix!"He sighed. A ghost of smile plaster
Fatal Rules: The Alpha's Game Chapter 83: Rot in hell
Alec couldn’t speak in too much irritation and probably, anger. His eyes were so red, like the color of evil itself. The color of blood and war. The color of death. Yes, red can symbolize love like that of a rose. But it could symbolize many things such as what I have mentioned already.I know what I am doing is a big risk, but I have to try regardless. I need to save the innocent lives of those people who chose to stand by my side. They don’t deserve death like that especially when Alec is the one serving it. He is evil. His soul—if ever he has one which I doubt—deserves to rot in hell all together with his evil subordinates, especially Vienna. If only I am given a chance, I will really kill her. With the anger I am feeling for her, I won’t miss it for sure. She is just lucky that I am not capable enough to do that especially with the given circumstance. Because if only I was capable enough and there is no Alec blocking my way, I would have surely done it, given of course with the he
Fatal Rules: The Alpha's Game Chapter 82: Her game
Back when I was young, my dream was simple. Stay out of troubles, help the pack, earn a degree, make a good career, marry my mate and have kids, maybe two or three. I envy those big families so I wanted to make my own. Maybe because I grew up in a broken family and I felt lonely. When Dad remarried to a woman who has a daughter same age as me, I thought I would finally have someone I can call as sister. I wanted a sibling. I wanted a normal happy family. But turns out that I would be kicked out in my own house because of her. Not that I was literally kicked out though since I left myself. But it is still the same for me because I knew I had no choice but to leave. It was getting worse every day and I don’t want Dad to worry about my issues. I went to Lynnwood, hoping I would calm down there and I also hoped that my stay in a new surrounding would bring good to me.However, looking back now, I can say that it brought me to something both good and bad. Staying in Lynnwood opened me to m
Fatal Rules: The Alpha's Game Chapter 81: Alpha's parents
I looked at myself in the mirror. I just stopped walking back and forth like some psycho who can't behave her ass. I also kept on checking my clothes, my hair, my face, and everything that could be noticed about me. Well, who can blame me? It's weekend today. The day I promised Calix that I would meet his parents in their home.The past few days, I have been really preparing myself for this even Calix told me many times that I have nothing to worry about. But isn't it normal for a wife to be nervous when meeting her husband's family for the first time?I looked at my outfit again. I was really torn earlier if I should wear something so feminine like a dress, skirt or if I should just be casual and have my usual attire when I am walking around Lynnwood – skinny jeans, fitted blouse, cardigan and sneakers. Though at the end, I decided to choose the latter since I am more comfortable with it.My hair was on loose, the mermaid curls naturally curling on the ends of my brown hair. I only p
Fatal Rules: The Alpha's Game Chapter 80: Intimidating alpha
"Hi, Lory! It's good that you have accepted my invitation. Hello, Alpha Calix," Irish said enthusiastically with Peter beside her. We just met outside Lynnwood, in the establishment where we agreed to watch the new movie she was talking about."Hi, Lory and uh... Alpha Calix," Peter greeted me with a smile but when he mentioned Calix's name and his eyes drifted to him, his smile became uneasy. He looked suddenly nervous.I can't blame him. Calix is such effortlessly intimidating. You know, every time you look at him, the first thing you would notice is his intimidating air that is screaming with authority and dominance like no other. I know because I once experience to be initimidated with him so bad.Actually, Calix still do intimidate me sometimes, but I am much more comfortable with him now that we already have a relationship and we have the chance to know each other deep each day. I only feel awkward around him seldomly, when we talk about something or he does something that makes
Fatal Rules: The Alpha's Game Chapter 79: Nothing to fear
The whole time I was aware that I was falling, my eyes were close and there was still that fear that I might hit something down there. Though, the fear slowly faded when I felt how warm and hard the arms wrapped around my body were.Calix's not gonna do something that would hurt me. I hold onto that belief.And when I finally felt the cold water against my skin, I didn't hit onto anything. It was just the cold water, me holding my breath, and the ironclad body against me. I was about to move to swim up, but I froze when in the midst of coldness, I felt warm, soft lips that touched mine, easing the coldness and my fears away.I almost forgot that I couldn't breathe underwater, but with Calix giving me enough air as he kissed me, I had completely forgotten where we are and how cold the water was.I was to carried away that I didn't notice Calix was already swimming our way upward with his ironclad arm around me. The next thing I knew, we were already on the water's surface. He gave me e
Fatal Rules: The Alpha's Game Chapter 78: Washed away
“Isn't she the luna of Alpha Calix?"I’m feeling dizzy and my body feels sore everywhere but I still did my best to open my eyes. The first thing that met my gaze was a bright light. It blinded me for a moment.Am I in heaven?That’s possible. I remember falling off the cliff after being chased by my pack. It’s just reasonable that I’m dead by now.I felt a warm thing that touched my face. A finger, perhaps. It pressed on my cheek, which startled me.I moved my eyelids up, this time wider. There’s still that blinding light but as I try to focus my gaze, I realize it’s the sky.“She’s awake.” I dropped my gaze on the little boy on my right. He’s quite young. Around four or five, I guess. He stared at me with curiosity and worry in his bright brown eyes.When the cold wind blew, that was when I knew I’m soaking wet. I looked on my left and saw an older boy. He’s obviously younger than me. He has the same bright brown eyes the small boy has, so I assume they are siblings. Both of them ar
Fatal Rules: The Alpha's Game Chapter 77: Unknown pack
"Did you know what pack they are from, Alpha Calix?" Gideon asked after the invited guests were completely wiped out. "No traces in their swords and daggers, nor in their bodies. And no one dared to speak." "What pack must be behind of this?" it was from Henry. There many assassin guilds but the biggest and most prominent is ours, the reason why we have a lot of enemies. This did not happen only once that was why we were not surprised of the attack. "That is hard to know since we have a lot of enemies," I said before walking out from the group. "Where are you going? We are still in a meeting." Henry is such a nuisance. He really gets into my nerves most of the time. "I need to prepare for my mission tomorrow." Before he could talk more, I was already out of the room. The following night, I left the manor before sunset as what I have planned. It was already dark when I arrived at the Dark Valley where the base of Raven pack was situated. Wolf shifters have very sharp sense of sm
