Nina seems desperate for money. Something isn’t right. What could it be? Ps: I’m not dragging the story 😂😂I still keep seeing comments about it.
Alpha Nathan’s POV Darius walked into my office and placed a file on my desk. I lifted my gaze from the contract I’d been reviewing and glanced at the file. “These are all the details the spies gathered about Nina,” he began. “According to their findings, her husband got himself into trouble with gambling. He owes a debt of one million dollars.” My brow furrowed as I leaned back in my chair. “Go on.” “It seems Nina is constantly on the phone, likely talking to him. He’s currently in custody—not with ordinary people, but a dangerous mafia group in China,” Darius explained. I frowned as I picked up the file, flipping it open to examine the documents inside. The details painted a grim picture, each line confirming my suspicions about Nina’s desperation. Her so-called husband wasn’t just in trouble—he’d dug himself into a hole so deep that Nina was scrambling to save him, even if it meant using Lila as leverage. “So,” I said, my voice steady but cold, “she’s risking everything
Benita’s POV Nathan walked in just as I finished tucking Theo into bed. Our eyes met as he quietly shut the door behind him, stepping slowly into the room. His gaze immediately flicked to Theo, who was already fast asleep. I noticed the bright smile that spread across Nathan's face as he looked at Theo, and then he moved his gaze back to me. “Hi,” he said, giving a small wave. I swallowed hard, unsure of how to respond. This version of Nathan—the calm, kind one—was unfamiliar territory for me. I was still trying to adjust to him. “I just finished putting Lila to bed,” Nathan announced. I exhaled softly and nodded. “I was going to check on her once I finished with Theo, but… thank you for doing that.” I gave him a smile, one that wasn’t forced. Nathan shook his head and stepped away from the door. He moved over to the edge of the bed where I stood and, surprisingly, took both of my hands. Feeling his touch, my heart raced, and my wolf purred at the warmth and comfort of it. He
Benita’s POV We arrived at the woods, the moonlight barely lighting the way. The night felt heavy with the tension between us, and the silence was thick, as though there were words we both wanted to say but couldn’t. I followed Nathan into the clearing, my heart pounding in my chest, unsure of what I was doing here. Was it because I wanted to shift into my wolf, or was it because I wanted to spend time with him? Nathan turned to face me, his eyes dark with something I couldn't name. He wasn’t saying anything, but the way he stood there, so close, made the air feel suffocating. He started unbuttoning his shirt slowly, as if testing my reaction. I watched his fingers work with deliberate slowness, my pulse quickening with each movement. My mind screamed at me to look away, to avoid the temptation that had been building between us, but I couldn’t. It was like a pull—something I couldn’t fight. Before I even realized it, my fingers were moving to the buttons of my blouse. The cool ni
Benita POV Nathan’s hands gripped my hips firmly as he pushed me back against the tree, his powerful body pinning me there. The rough bark scraped against my skin, grounding me in the moment, while the heat radiating off him sent shivers cascading down my spine. His green, piercing eyes locked onto mine, burning with raw intensity. His chest heaved, his breaths coming ragged, as though he were holding himself together with everything in him. “Benita…” He whispered my name like it was both a plea and a curse, his forehead pressing against mine. His voice was low and guttural, full of need. “You have no idea what you’re doing to me.” “Then show me,” I said, my voice trembling but steady enough to carry the weight of my challenge. My hands slid up his chest, feeling the tension in his muscles, the rapid thud of his heartbeat beneath my palm. “We don’t have to label it.” For a brief second, regret flickered in his eyes. I cursed myself. Goddess, I sound like a horny slut. He groaned,
Benita’s POV The sight of him, hard and ready, sent a thrill through me. I leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to the sensitive skin just above his length. Nathan’s hands tightened at his sides, his muscles flexing as he fought for control. “You’re perfect,” I whispered, wrapping my fingers around him. He was warm, velvety smooth over unyielding steel, and the weight of him in my hand sent a rush of heat through me. “Benita,” he growled, his voice thick with need. “You don’t have to be gentle.” His words emboldened me. I licked a slow stripe along the underside of him, savoring the way he shuddered under my touch. His taste was intoxicating, and when I took him into my mouth, his sharp inhale sent a thrill through me. I started slowly, letting my tongue tease and explore him as I worked him with my hand. His fingers tangled in my hair, guiding me but never forcing, his restraint making my desire to please him burn hotter. I hollowed my cheeks, taking him deeper, and his low, gut
Benita's POVI had just finished healing the last of the infected when I spotted Nathan and Nina arguing outside the mansion. Nina's sharp voice cut through the chilly air, her face twisted in anger. My brow furrowed as I approached, but before I could reach them, Nina turned on her heel and stormed away. Nathan remained rooted, his jaw tight and his fists clenched. Annoyance radiated off him, but as soon as his gaze met mine, his expression softened, his shoulders relaxing slightly.“Benita," he said, his tone tender. “You're here.”I nodded, my curiosity piqued but hesitant to pry. It wasn’t my place to involve myself in his matters with Nina, no matter how much I wanted to ask.“Are you feeling okay?” Nathan asked, his brows knitting with concern.“Yes,” I replied with a small nod. “I just finished healing everyone.”A genuine smile spread across his face, lighting up his usually stern features. “Thank you, Benita. My people and I owe you more than we can ever repay.”I nodded. “I
Benita's POV I shook my head in disbelief, my eyes glued to the DNA test results in my trembling hands. This can’t be true. My chest tightened with confusion and questions. “How is this possible?” I murmured. “Lila… my daughter? I was never pregnant with twins.” Nathan moved over to me and took the DNA result from my hands. I watched him glance at it, confusion evident in his eyes. He looked up at me, searching for answers I didn’t have. I couldn’t explain how a DNA result could claim I was Lila’s mother. “I can’t explain this,” I whispered, my voice shaking. “The DNA test says I’m her mother, but… it doesn’t make sense. How could I not know? I only gave birth to one child—Theo.” “There has to be a mistake,” I added desperately, though deep down, a nagging feeling told me there was more to this. A piece of the puzzle was missing. “Benita, this is not a mistake. Lila and Theo are twins. Didn’t you know you were carrying twins?” Uncle Kent asked. I shook my head. “I was never
Nathan’s POV My blood ran cold as I clenched the phone in my fist, careful not to destroy it. “Nathan… what do we… do?” Benita asked in fear, tears falling freely down her cheeks. My heart sank, and it pained me so much to see her this heartbroken. My wolf was howling angrily in my head, urging me to do something. “Let me take a proper look at it,” Xavier said, and I handed the phone to him while he replayed the video. I looked in Darius’s direction as he stood, waiting for my order. But I didn’t know what order to give. I had already sent men and trackers to track Lila and Theo’s scent through their clothes, but I hadn’t gotten any positive results yet. “I need a system. Let me see if I can track the location through the video sent,” Xavier said, and I nodded. “Please come with me to my study,” I said, but just then, the men I had asked to fetch Nina’s parents brought them in. I turned and glared at them. They seemed confused and frightened. “I will ask a question, and all
Benita's POV The door pushed open, and Xavier, dressed in a black, well-tailored suit, walked in. The moment his eyes fell on me, he smiled widely and moved over. When he got to where I stood with the bouquet of flowers in my hand, he gently placed a kiss on my forehead and then pulled away, his eyes shimmering with tears. “You look so beautiful, Benita. Our parents would be so glad wherever they are,” he said, and a bitter smile appeared on my face. I wished they were here to share this joyous day with me. “You are a beautiful bride,” he added, and I smiled. “So, tell me, are you ready?” he asked. I nodded. “So ready,” I said with a soft chuckle. Xavier smiled and brought forth his arm, which I took, and then he led me out of the room. The wedding was taking place in the pack hall, a building attached to the mansion. As Xavier led me down the hallway, my grip on his arm tightened slightly. My heart raced, not with nervousness, but with excitement. This wasn’t my first wedding,
Benita’s POV I was combing my hair in front of the mirror when the door to my room burst open. Theo and Lila rushed in, their faces filled with panic and worry. “Theo, Lila? What is it?” I asked while abruptly getting to my feet. Theo was the first to speak, his voice trembling. “Mother, it's Father. We were with him, playing in his room, and he just fainted,” Theo said in panic. My heart stopped. “What?” I gasped and didn't give it a second thought before racing toward Nathan’s room. I raced down the hall, my heart hammering in my chest. The thought of Nathan collapsing filled me with fear. Had he been hiding an illness? Had something happened while I wasn’t looking? I didn’t stop until I reached his room, pushing the door open with force. “Nathan…" But I froze. The sight before me was nothing like what I had feared. Instead of finding him unconscious on the floor, I saw roses—dozens of them—scattered across the floor, their petals creating a sea of red. White candles flic
Benita’s POV Darius tightened his grip on my arms, holding me as I struggled to breathe. My entire body trembled, my mind spinning. A plane crash. Nathan had been on that flight. I swallowed the lump in my throat, my eyes stinging with unshed tears. “Have you tried reaching him through the mind link?” My voice came out shaky. Darius's jaw tightened, his expression filled with worry. Just like me, he was on the verge of crying. “I did. There's no response.” My wolf whimpered inside me, her fear echoing my own. I sucked in a deep breath, forcing myself to stay upright. “I have to try.” Closing my eyes, I focused on the bond, the connection that tied me to Nathan—the mate I had been so cruel to last night. My heart raced as I reached out, calling for him through the link. “Nathan?” Silence. I tried again, panic gripping me. “Nathan, please. Answer me.” Nothing. Tears spilled down my cheeks. “No… no, no, no.” My voice cracked as I shook my head. He couldn't be gone.
Benita’s POVI hated myself.I hated myself for what I had done.Nathan had gone through all that trouble—setting up a beautiful dinner on the rooftop, trying to make things right between us—and I had turned him down. Again.And for what? Because of Nikita? Because of the way I had seen them together earlier? Because jealousy had wrapped itself around my heart and squeezed so tight that I couldn’t think straight?How could I be so cruel?My heart tore even more as I stepped into my room, shutting the door behind me. My heart pounded in my chest, and my feet itched to turn back—to go back to the rooftop, to tell him I was sorry, to sit at that table he had set just for me.But I held myself back.I had already hurt him tonight. What good would it do to show up now when he had probably already left?I swallowed hard and climbed into bed, pulling the blanket over myself. But no matter how much I tried, I couldn’t sleep. My mind kept replaying the look in his eyes, the way his voice had s
Alpha Nathan's POV I held the roses in my hand and sucked in a deep breath to compose myself. I was so nervous, like it was my first date with a woman. Well, it might not be my first date, but it was the most important. I placed a soft knock on the door, and Benita’s soft voice asked me in. I held the doorknob and pushed it open, then stepped in. Stepping in, I expected to see Benita halfway dressed, but she wasn’t. Rather, she was dressed in her nightwear like she was about to go to bed. I stood frozen, gripping the roses in my hand as my heart raced in my chest. I had expected to see Benita halfway dressed, preparing for our date, maybe even looking forward to it. Instead, she was wrapped in silk nightwear, her long hair cascading down her shoulders as she looked at me with a calm expression. “You’re ready for bed?” I finally asked, my voice betraying the disappointment I tried to hide. She sighed, shifting on her feet. “Nathan, I… I don’t feel like going anywhere tonight. You
Darius’ POV I drove into my apartment, feeling exhausted. Getting out of the car, the men stationed at my home welcomed me, and I responded with a curt nod as I made my way toward the sitting room. In the living room, I met Marta, Oscar’s nanny. “Welcome, sir,” Marta greeted, and I nodded, looking around, searching for my boy. “He went to bed early,” Marta announced, as if she could read my thoughts. I nodded. “Becca?” I asked, referring to Oscar’s mom. Marta frowned. “I have no idea. She left right after you did and hasn’t returned since.” I was surprised, but that was typical Becca lifestyle. She’d leave early in the morning and wouldn’t return until past midnight, stumbling in reeking of alcohol and sex. Yes, sex. Despite having a child with me, despite living under my roof, Becca still sees other men, and according to her, I can’t tell her what to do. I can’t control her because she is just my baby mama; she isn’t my mate or my wife. But how can I think of settling down wi
Alpha Nathan’s POV “Do you want the maids to get you something?” I asked Nikita, who sat on the bed, looking lost in thought. “No, I’m fine, Nathan. Thank you,” she replied, forcing a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. Concerned, I moved closer, sitting beside her before pulling her into a hug. She rested her head on my shoulder, a familiar gesture—one that had always comforted her when she was upset. “It’s okay, Nikita,” I murmured, running a soothing hand down her back. “It’s not the end of the world, and you know that.” “You won’t understand, Nathan…” she paused, lifted her head from my shoulder, and looked me straight in the eyes. “Can’t you see my stomach? Don’t you notice something different?” Frowning, I glanced down at her stomach. It was slightly bloated, as if she'd eaten a lot, or… Realization dawned, and my eyes widened. “You’re pregnant?” I asked in shock, already knowing the answer. Nikita nodded as tears rolled down her cheeks. “Yes, Nathan. I’m almost three mon
Benita’s POV A knock landed on my door, and by the alluring familiar scent, I knew it was Nathan. “The door is open,” I said softly, and after a few seconds, the door pushed open, and Nathan walked in, slowly shutting the door behind him. I looked up from the book in my hands, watching as he crossed the room with slow, measured steps. “Good day,” he greeted, a small smile spreading across his face. “Good day,” I responded plainly while ignoring the howling of my wolf at his smell. His scent was so intoxicating that I was doing my best not to sniff the air. “The kids aren’t back yet?” he asked. I shook my head. A moment of silence hung in the air before Nathan spoke. “I got you something,” he said while bringing out a box from his pant pocket. I watched him open the small velvet box and take out a silver bracelet. My fingers curled instinctively, resisting the urge to reach for it. “For you,” he said, his voice softer than usual. I swallowed, my throat tightening. “
Nathan's POV My heart raced in my chest while my wolf, who was frightened, went silent. This was the most critical moment of our lives, we had never been this terrified before. “This is my verdict,” Lycan Kent began, and I held my breath. “It is true that Alpha Nathan was found guilty of all the charges laid against him.” He paused, and I continued holding my breath, my eyes fixed on him. “ But he was under a spell. And while being under a spell does not justify his actions, it does change the intent behind them. Just as Lady Benita pleaded, I will take the children into consideration. Therefore, after careful deliberation, I have decided to grant him a second chance.” A murmur spread through the crowd, some in agreement, others clearly displeased. My heart was still hammering, and my wolf remained eerily silent, as if still processing what had just been said. Lycan Kent’s sharp gaze swept over the assembly before returning to me. “However, this does not mean Benita remains wif
