Fatal Rules: The Alpha's Game Chapter 9: Blunt Questions
“Are you heading back to the mansion now?” Michael asked after the match. Even when it was the first time he joined Clayburrow’s equestrian match, Alpha Calix aced the game. There were a fair number of participants who knew well what they were doing, but Alpha seemed to be a little more aggressive than the others. The way he moved with his horse, it felt like he wanted to burn the whole arena. Thinking about how he looked at me before the match started made me feel a hollow in my stomach. If it was really me he was looking at, did I get him annoyed? But I only changed seats. Did he say something like the girls should stick together at times like this? I couldn’t remember. “Loraine?” Michael called when I didn’t answer his question. I offered him an apologetic smile. “Sorry. Yes, I think so.” “We should go to our favorite café, Lory! Mr. Michael can go with us too!” Rose butted in. “I’m sure the Alpha doesn’t forbid you going out?” I shook my head. “Then that’s great! What do you
Fatal Rules: The Alpha's Game Chapter 10: Sudden Downpour
Alpha Calix went out of the car first by the time we arrived at the mansion. What he said caught me at a loss for words. My palms were covered with cold sweat as I tried to come up with something, but the words wouldn’t roll out of my tongue. Perhaps why I couldn’t argue about it because deep down, I knew it was true. I felt safe around Michael and being with Alpha Calix was a whole different thing. Alpha had already made it to the mansion’s door with his long strides while I was still halfway through it. As if my body hadn’t gone cold enough due to the anxiety I went through, the rain suddenly poured. I ran to the mansion but I still got drenched. Water was dripping from my dress to the floor as I hugged myself to ease the cold. “Get her a towel.” I looked around and saw Alpha near the stairs, watching me with the same dark eyes. I jumped a bit when a loud thunder came. The maid who was asked to get a towel hurried. She was about to give it to me but Alpha grabbed it from her han
Fatal Rules: The Alpha's Game Chapter 11: Frustrated
I’m not sure if the man meant luck or misery, but at that point I only know one thing. I can use Alpha Calix to free myself from my father's grip. I have no idea what he’s planning to do with me but I’m ready for the worst. If he will have me as his whore or his slave, then so be it. Staying pure doesn’t matter now. Staying alive does. I need to live no matter what the odds are because that’s the only way I can go back to my sister. “You are one lucky lass. You became Alpha's favorite,” said the woman who is dressing me up. I don’t have the energy to move so I just let her do what she wants. I stared at the mirror mindlessly, and didn't have the time to care how I looked or what dress I was wearing. The bruises in my arms I got from running in the forest were covered with long sleeves of my knee-length dress. The other girls were dressed with short sleeves, I was the only exception and I guess it was because I’d looked horrible with my bruises. My pale lips were also now painted wit
Fatal Rules: The Alpha's Game Chapter 12: powerful
I’ve always felt the weird demeanor Benedict has all those years of him acting loyal to my father. He’s handsome, quiet, I think the quietest man I’ve ever met, he’s most of the time serious, and he never looked at any girl in our pack. He was either training the men or handling the pack’s affairs. I didn’t have casual conversations with him even though he was often invited to our house for dinners and parties. I’d always seen him in the town, and back when I was still studying, we went to the same school. I didn’t give him much attention then, but I knew he was good at academics. Well, he’s good at everything he does if my memory serves me right. Although his beta father died early, with his contributions, everyone believed that he was the only man worthy of my hand. They said we were perfect for each other. I couldn’t disagree more. I had never pictured myself marrying Benedict Allen. I could stomach Tyler, his geek cousin who couldn’t even throw a punch, but not him. Even though
Fatal Rules: The Alpha's Game Chapter 13: Can't be trusted
“Be a good girl. Do you understand, little wolf?” I gritted my teeth. Wanting to claw him on his face but I can do nothing but purse my lips tight so a word won’t slip. I’m sure he won’t think twice on hitting me and I know receiving a blow from a male alpha isn’t something my fragile body is ready for. Alpha Calix went back to the table and drank his wine, wiping his lips with the napkin before leaving the dining hall. I blew the breath I was holding back. My eyes shut as I took a handful of my hair, sitting on my heel, feeling so weak and helpless. I’m angry at myself. Why did I have to be born a female when my family got no one to depend on but me? Although there are female alphas in other packs, most are still traditional and see women as weaklings. That the alpha position should only be given to males. I dragged my feet back to my room and stood in front of the window. The downpour was making the glass blurry, not allowing me to see what was outside. It was getting colder and
Fatal Rules: The Alpha's Game Chapter 14: Rare memory
Opening the shoe box, I noticed the small black velvet box beside it. I put down the shoe box and got it instead. Now I see what ring Lucius meant. It’s this. The diamond ring made me gasp. It is simple but elegant. Back then I always thought the ring I would put on my ring finger would be given by my mate, but look how it turned out. I shook my head with a bitter smile on my lips, sliding the ring through my finger. While drying my hair, I can’t help but wonder if Alpha Calix had met his mate. For us wolf shifters mates are our other halves, the only ones destined for us. No one can hold our hearts like they do. That is how powerful a mate bond is. I haven’t met my mate yet. I haven’t felt that strong pull, that deep connection with someone. I wish he’s strong and capable. Someone who can free me from Lucius’ grip and help me take back my pack. Thinking about it, Calix must haven’t met his mate yet. For him to pick a random girl to be his fiancée all of a sudden, his mate wouldn’t
Fatal Rules: The Alpha's Game Chapter 15: Conscience
I felt like a cub in the den of a pack of wolves while sitting there in front of Alpha Calix's relatives. Bernard was tolerable because he barely spoke and he wasn't that curious about me. But his nosy sister and mother didn't spare me from their sharp glares from time to time while putting me on a hot seat with questions about my history with Calix which I found hard to answer because there was no history to begin with.Thankfully, the smart Alpha knew better than to let me answer those stupid questions and answered them for me. With the way he gave them the story they wanted, I figured out he was such a smooth liar. He can lie so calmly that no one would think he was lying. I guess he's so used to telling people lies.The family left after breakfast. Knowing that they aren't staying in the same house is a relief. If I am to stay by Alpha Calix's side, it would be harder for me to breathe with those women who seem like they are ready to skin me alive."Do you think they believe your s
Fatal Rules: The Alpha's Game Chapter 16: Evil doings
The car stopped in one of the city's tallest skyscrapers. I just followed Lucius as he walked through the main doors and I noticed the logo in the front desk. Henderson Landscapes... it says. "Good morning, Alpha Calix," the staffs in corporate attires greeted. Their eyes stopping at me for a moment, obviously wondering who I was to tag along with their boss. Calix didn't say anything and continued walking to the elevator. We went to a certain floor until we arrived in his office. He went straight to his table while I remained standing, not knowing what to do. “Why did you take me here, master?” I asked, watching him sit on his swivel chair and check the piled paper works on his table. He lifted his gaze to me, the corner of his lips tugging up. His wicked smirk made my forehead crease. What is he planning again? “To be my secretary?” I didn’t get it. “Wait, I thought I’m playing the role of your fiancée? What happened to that? Besides, don’t you want to make a move with our plan

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
