"How dare you touch her with your filthy paws!" As he stared at me, Alpha Derrick's rage appeared to be erupting. He was apparently the one who had just hit me across the face.
I simply stood there, staring at him foolishly. I had no idea what to do or say. Whatever I say to him now, he is almost certain to side with Mona in this circumstance.
Even though I had never harmed Mona, I was disappointed to see everyone siding with her. Nobody wants to hear my side of the story.
"Seize her!" Alpha Derrick commands, and two of his minions grab my arms quickly. I did not attempt to drag with them. I submit without resistance.
"Let her go!" My father entered the room and demanded my release. The two men initially resisted releasing me, but as soon as Alpha Derrick signaled them with his eyes, they swiftly discharged their grip on my arms and shoved me away.
I was deep breathing and fighting back tears that were flowing down my cheeks. I rose slowly from the floor and made my way over to my father's side. My current tragedy is so terrible that I am unable to speak a single word. I believe that the prudent course of action is to remain silent.
"This is a family concern, and we would resolve it amicably. I apologize profusely for any inconvenience this may have caused you in any way." My father pleaded with Alpha Derrick, and the latter simply lowered his head slightly in acknowledgement of my father's apologies.
"Now that the celebration is over, you may all exit!" My father announced, and the entire hall began filing out one by one. Alpha Derrick strolled over to Mona once everyone had departed. He lovingly kissed her on the forehead and whispered into her ear.
Mona has the appearance of a Hollywood celebrity. Her long, thick, wavy blonde hair cascades gently to her shoulders and surrounds her diamond-shaped face. She has beautiful, clear skin and high cheekbones.
Mona's slightly arched chestnut brown brows, which rise and fall in response to what Alpha Derrick has just murmured in her ear, serve to underline her zeal. Her stunning blue eyes are the color of a stormy lake.
Furthermore, her bent nose lends her a youthful aspect, which causes everyone to grin when she speaks. Her tiny mouth is complemented by swollen lips, which she frequently highlights with glossy pink lipstick.
When she smiles, which she frequently does, her perfectly formed and well-spaced white teeth illuminate her entire face. You can certainly see why Alpha Derrick is completely smitten with Mona.
I needed only to be there, to witness Alpha Derrick and Mona, profess their love for one another. They both chuckle, and he promptly turns to exit the hall, followed by his men.
I felt a little nervous on the inside as I realized what had just occurred. The agony, which had been subsiding, burst forth in rivers. I felt as though I should be the recipient of Alpha Derrick's adoration, but Mona ripped him away from me.
My hair, on the other hand, is Moon shadow black. It cascaded down my back and over my shoulders as I shifted my sight away from Mona. My waist is slim, and my skin tone is a golden tan. My arched brows framed my sweeping eyelashes.
I inherited my mother's constellation-brown eyes and beautiful heart-shaped lips. According to what I've heard, I'm identical to my mother in every way except for my cowardice. Mona possesses both her mother's features and Luna Catherine's cruel heart.
My father turned to confront Mona and Luna Catherine as soon as Alpha Derrick left, his eyes overflowing with wrath. "We need to speak immediately!" He turned and walked out of the hall, his voice harsh...
I was left with two adversaries, both of whom were staring me down with a vicious gaze. I hurriedly bent my head when my gaze met Luna Catherine's. Even if I desired to fight back, I am incapable of doing it. She is our pack's Luna, and I must recognize and honor that.
Additionally, I would lose my membership in the Moonstone pack in three days and be demoted to the rank of a slave to Alpha Derrick.
"Let's go, Mom!" Mona muttered as she brushed past my shoulder with intent. Luna Catherine was aware of Mona's actions but faked ignorance as she escorted her daughter out of the hall.
How I wish my mother was still alive. I'm confident that I will have no problems by this time. This witch and her nasty daughter will have no place in our lives.
"Wasn't I the one who warned you about Mona?" Hannah's words jolted me awake and compelled me to turn to face her. She was standing close to Louis, her mate.
Both of them were childhood friends of mine, and we are roughly the same age. We three attended the same high school and college. We had no idea Hannah and Louis would become mates until we reached eighteen.
They were often squabbling back then, and I was frequently called upon to mediate. They are meant to be together, even if they are unaware.
Not only that, but they didn't know they were soulmates until the day following our first shift. I was thrilled because, while I usually joke about it with them, none of them seemed to take my statements seriously. But finally, they are reunited.
"Hannah, ease up… You should be relieving her distress now, not adding to it!" Louis locked his gaze on her with a ferocious look.
"Louis, I believe I will no longer have to sugarcoat anything I say to her! Kimberly had been warned about her evil stepsister, but she disregarded my warnings!"
Hannah is, in fact, correct! She has typically advised me not to let down my guard in the sight of Mona, but I have never heeded her warnings. I figured she was simply casting a terrible light on Mona, as the two had never been friends. Hannah knew more about my step-sister than I did, something I was unaware of.
I recall vividly the night I informed them of Alpha Derrick's interest in me. But Hannah confronted Mona about her disappointment with my wonderful news. Hannah, on the other hand, I believed to be derisory, So, I intervened.
I never considered the possibility that the person closest to my heart may betray me for a man. It is quite improbable that anyone will hold me accountable. Mona showed me a lot of love and care during our bond, and I never saw the evil in her at any moment.
Almost always, she supports me against her mother. As a result, I have the greatest faith in her abilities. Even though I am three years her senior, Mona treated me as if I were her child. As a result, witnessing her violate the trust I had placed in her tonight, was hard for me.
"I'm curious whether you intend to say anything, Kimberly?" Hannah inquired as she got closer to where I was standing.
"I'm at a loss for words. I have been rejected by an Alpha. As a result, I need to address the ramifications of my action." I gently breathed while looking into her eyes.
"Does this problem have no feasible solutions?" Louis strode over to us and inquired.
"There are none," I responded calmly. "All that remains is for me to accept whatever destiny has in store for me."
"However, it appears as though you are capable of retaliating against your attacker. Raise public awareness of Mona's immorality." Hannah sounded even more agitated while grasping my hands.
"Who would be interested in listening to me right now?" Everyone believes Mona more than I do as we are conversing. If I say anything negative about her, I will come to seem like a vindictive individual."
"I'm speechless that this is happening to you… I'm at a loss for words… There are so many events occurring that I wish we could halt them. I'm sorry we can't do anything to help," Louis mumbled, his face contorted.
"I believe that if we set our minds to it, we can win this battle. Hannah whined, "I am certain of it."
"Do not be concerned, guys. Nothing is required of you. With time, my confidence in my ability to recuperate rises." I promise them, attempting to maintain a grin on my face.
Hannah immediately embraced me, her eyes welling up with tears. On the other hand, Louis merely patted me on the back.
"You and your companion must quit the premises immediately. We are no longer allowed to be seen together." Hannah remained in my clutches when I informed them.
"No, Kimberly, I still want to spend some time with you." Hannah was adamant that she would not abandon me.
"You can not remain with me, Hannah… Charges of treason would be brought against you, and I do not want the matter to reach that stage. Maintain a vigilant ear and make your way out of here. You can be certain that I will be well."
"I believe we should exit here, Hannah. Kimberly wants to think and act alone." Louis clutches her wrist and drags her down the corridor. She continued to wave at me as they walked away until they were no longer visible. At this point, I'm completely alone in the hall.
My only aim currently is to go as far away from this location as possible. That, however, is not possible. Wherever I went, Alpha Derrick would find me. For me, the city has devolved into a dangerous place.
I kept thinking of various methods to get myself out of this situation, but nothing came to mind. I like to address my fate to prevent making rash judgments.
"What's that?" I wondered as I strode over to the alcoholic beverages stocked in the hallway. My engagement photos were supposed to be taken tonight, but due to unanticipated circumstances, everything has shifted.
I knelt and used one of my hands to pick up a bottle of wine from the floor. Due to my abstinence from alcoholic beverages, I have no idea what I chose or the amount of alcohol in the drink.
Simply put, I need to clear my mind, and this is the most effective way to do so. I exit the hall after retrieving the bottle of wine.
When I got outside, I realized why everywhere was so quiet. When my engagement did not proceed as anticipated, all of my friends and relatives returned to their destinations.
Anyone familiar with my father is cautious of running into him due to his rage. Each of our groups is aware of his affection for me. Other packs are aware of my father's frequent expressions of devotion for me.
So, everyone would prefer to avoid the wrath of an Alpha, whose cherished daughter has recently been spurned. As a result, they all fled the pack as swiftly as possible.
Rather than enter the house, I proceeded to the basement of the pack house, which was located at the rear of the building. I am the only one who is aware of such a basement existence.
I found the basement when I was on the search for something to cheer me up whenever Luna Catherine chastised me. My go-to escape tactic was to dash to the basement and hide for hours before returning to the house.
When Mona attained maturity, I ceased going to the cellar. I considered not stopping by as a result of her continual presence around me whenever her mother scolded me.
This evening, the story is rather different. The reality is that I am alone. As a result, I'm forced to go to the basement and drink myself into a coma until I pass out.
I came to a complete halt as soon as I entered the basement's secret entrance. I have the unmistakable sensation that I am being observed.
"Would it be all right if I join you for a drink from the glass you're holding?" A sharp voice whispered from behind me.
Then I turned to see who it was, as the voice sounded to my ears like a nice, melodious tune…
A Brad Pitt clone? As I turned around, I noticed that the man in front of me looked a little like Brad Pitt. His hair was the color of Achilles' armor and perfectly coiffed. His eyes were as clear as a mountain stream, and his face were in perfect proportion to one another as if he were looking into a mirror.He appeared to have been cast from a distinct mould, as he possessed an androgynous appearance that was unusual among most people. He exuded energy, having been lacquered and enameled by the sun. Those mountain peak cheekbones looked like they had been carved into shape by a master artisan. The outlines of their bodies were so sharp that it appeared as though they had been molded and matched to perfection.As I fell under his steady gaze, his eyes, which were as dazzling and captivating as lodestars, captivated me and I was enchanted. They were aglow with mirth and shined like two eternity-blue jewels aglow in the snow. "Can you tell me who you are?" I inquired while my gaze wa
**Alpha Derrick's POV**I sat on my bed, a glint of happiness in my eyes as I gazed about. Mona enabled me to make the best decision possible tonight by rejecting Kimberly Fray. Alpha Darwin will be unable to retain his leadership position as long as he has a rejected daughter. I will ensure that I remain the most heinous Alpha in this city as long as there is no one to oppose me.I laughed slightly as I pondered how much I'd accomplished in the little time since ascending to the position of Night Walker Alpha. My father died seven years ago, and I continue to support him in developing his pack's objectives.He never desired that any other pack control us, and it is also the legacy I want to leave. Whatever it takes, we will always be at the top. The Night Walkers would continue to strike dread into their adversaries' hearts and thoughts!"Hahahahahahaha!!!" I was so engrossed in my laughter that I didn't even notice when one of my followers entered the area where I was sitting. "Ple
"Why do you smell like booze, Kimberly?" My father inquired with a menacing gaze. I swiftly avert my gaze from his and preserve complete quiet. "Respond to me, Kimberly!" He shouts at me. "I took simply a little drink to clear my thoughts. You need not make a fuss about nothing, father." I withdrew his hand from my wrist with care. "What I see is not insignificant! Last night, did you do anything ridiculous with someone? Don't tell me you did it?" He abruptly covered his lips with his hands in shock, and stare at me from head to toe. "I did nothing, father..." I responded, but I felt horrible for having lied to him. I cannot tell him what I did last night with a stranger. It might spark unwarranted disagreements between us, which I want to avoid. "Are you sure?" "Yes, dad!" "No, I don't believe it. Let's visit the pack doctor immediately!" Suddenly, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me toward him. "Stop it, dad!" I removed my wrist from his grasp and retreated in anger. "What if I
As she delicately touches my shoulder, she says something calming in a low voice. "Wake up, Kimberly!" I gradually opened my eyes by rubbing them with both hands.Many things have changed in the last few years, and the hospital room now resembles a garden. The roof is transparent, creating the feeling that you are outdoors. The bed is still made of metal, but technology has advanced so much.The bed looks to be bamboo, warm and rustic to the touch and sight. When the first pilot hospital adopted this, there was a lot of debate about how expensive it would be, but the results spoke for themselves. Stays are shorter, recovery is quicker, and depression is non-existent.When I opened my eyes, I was surprised to see Louis and Hannah seated near me. I was lying still on the bed, pains all over my body."How do you feel, Kim?" Hannah inquired, her entire face lighted up with worry."I'm OK..." I sat up on the bed, gently resting my back. "What am I doing here?" I touched Louis's hand and in
All of the Elders from several packs located inside and around the city sat in a circle. They were all wearing expressions of displeasure as if they expected a battle to break out at any moment. It was because of Alpha Darwin, the leader of the Moonstone pack, that an emergency meeting of the pack's council was called for. He was given a place in the centre of the group.Alpha Derrick was the youngest of the group, but since he exudes such a powerful aura, all of the other Alphas are petrified of him.He sat gracefully across from Alpha Darwin, and both of them continued to make occasional eye contact with one another. Alpha Derrick makes it to a point not to look away, to plant the seed of dread in Alpha Darwin's head. On the other hand, the latter does not seem to be concerned by the antics the former is engaging in.Alpha Kelly, leader of the Lock's Heart pack and the most senior member of the council, stood up and addressed the other members of the council. "I do not doubt that al
"I am really sorry, Kimberly, but you are not allowed to go!" As soon as I attempted to approach the door, Hannah immediately blocked my path and grabbed both of my hands. Louis also came to stand in my way before I had time to grasp what Hannah was attempting to do. Louis instantly back up what she said while smiling at me, "We can't allow you to go anyplace." "Do either of you know that, if I don't make it to my dad's residence on time, something terrible may happen to him?" I questioned with an eyebrow lifted. "Alpha Darwin won't have to worry about anything happening to him. Simply put your faith in him and let him sort out the problem on his own. I think he is holding on to you. He is protecting you from something, which is why he doesn't want you to leave here." When Louis was speaking, he had a solemn expression on his face. "Yes, Louis is absolutely correct! Alpha Darwin has a firm grasp on the situation. So, just trust him!" Hannah said with self-assurance. After hearing
When Luna Catherine saw Mona's expression, she was immediately aware that she had been careless with her statements.Luna Catherine hurried over to her daughter's side as soon as she felt the deadly frigid stare of Alpha Derrick. "Mona, please don't worry about it. Your dad and I are simply having an adult-level discussion about the topic at hand." With tenderness, she patted Mona's hair.Mona did not move an inch as she focused her attention on observing her mother's and father's reactions. She did doubt that they are concealing something from her. "But Mom, what I overheard was very serious...""How long have you been staying at the door?" The raspy voice of Alpha Darwin suddenly enters the conversation."Dad, I just got here a minute ago.""Good! Put everything your mother has ever told you to the side. The delay of your engagement to Alpha Derrick is the only thing that seems to bother her at this point." The moment Alpha Darwin offers his justification, the tension in the room is
When I arrived at the pack house in the evening with Hannah and Louis by my side, there was complete and utter silence everywhere.In the morning, everything was bustling with activity. But now, I'm surprised to see why everyone appeared to have calmed down a little by the time I arrived. The reason for the delay might be the engagement of Mona, which got postponed. Everyone must maintain their composure for the time being since nobody would want to risk getting on Luna Catherine's wrong side. "Why is everyone so quiet, as if they're all grieving the loss of someone?" Hannah inquired as we entered the pack house side by side, both of us walking together."You really ought to be able to answer that question by now!" As we approached the door, Louis spoke to her and signalled for Hannah to maintain her silence with a hand gesture. I just did not respond to her inquiry in any way, which allowed me to maintain my calmness.I know Hannah. As soon as I started talking to her about Mona, s
Kimberly and Alpha Theo were in the living room, where they both seemed to be enjoying one other's company while conversing about a variety of topics."Freedom is extremely essential, and I can't even remember the last time I had the same level of freedom as I do right now!" Kimberly stated this, giving off the impression that she enjoyed every one of the remarks that she made."It is so wonderful to have finally located you, and right at this now, I am experiencing a level of tranquillity that I have never previously encountered in my whole life!" This was expressed in an enthralling manner by Alpha Theo.When one of the guards from Alpha Theo's home came in to deliver him information about something extremely significant, they were still in the living room at the time."What brought you here in the first place?" Alpha Theo interrogated the security officer who had come to meet him."We just received some information about Alpha Darwin now, he was in an accident, and we felt it would
Alpha Derrick got behind the wheel of his car and headed directly for his mansion, despite having a troubled mind and a lot on his mind."Where precisely could Kimberly be, and this individual who attacked me must be an Alpha of a pack since I felt the ferocity of his assault," you ask. "Where exactly could Kimberly be." Who is it among all the Alphas that doesn't respect me and my abilities? I need to find out which one of them does not respect the Night Walkers pack in order to decide what to do, and after I accomplish that, I will be able to go on. Alpha Derrick mused to himself as he looked extremely troubled and had a worried expression on his face.I really need to think of something to tell Mona so that I can divert her attention away from the possibility that I forcibly made out with Kimberly. While he was driving by himself back to his house, he continued to mull over further matters and how he would go about carrying them out in his head.Alpha Derrick arrived at his estate,
It was very early in the morning when Kimberly woke up in a very luxurious house, and everything looked so beautiful. However, she had pains and bruises from all over her body, due to the struggle she had with Alpha Derrick in order to prevent him from having sexual relations with her against her will.Kimberly noticed that her outfit had already been changed, and that someone had cleaned up her body; nonetheless, she could recall everything that had occurred to her, and she was eager as well as inquisitive to find out who had saved her the night before.She made an effort to rise from the bed in which she had been sleeping, but as soon as her foot made contact with the ground, she was aware of how painful her feet were, and all that she could feel inside of her was hate and hatred directed toward Alpha Derrick for what he had done to her.As soon as she got out of bed and started moving toward the door that led to the room she was in, she was startled to see the door open and a middl
After a time, the majority of individuals started making their way back to their homes, and because some of them were already inebriated, their friends assisted them as they made their way back to their rooms.To the amazement of Kimberly's companions, she remained sat at the table for the whole meal, and she did not give any indication that she was about to leave the banquet hall at any point throughout the event."Kimberly, get ready to go; we won't be here much longer. Are you not ready to go right now and go home?" Liza inquired despite the fact that she had already lost consciousness in both of her eyes."Not quite yet; I still have some business to take care of before I can come over and hang out with you ladies. Please don't worry too much about me since I shall be returning very soon. I am doing extremely well!" Kimberly made those words in a very composed manner, all the while maintaining a trace of a grin on her face.What it is that you want to accomplish exactly, why don't
Kimberly went back to where she had been sat as she proceeded to enjoy the night feast with her friends, during which a great deal of laughter and joy was exchanged among them.She could not help but reflect on what the Alpha had said to her and how, out of the blue, he had started behaving in such a kind manner toward her."What on earth could Alpha Derrick be planning, and why is he being so friendly to me?" Something is obviously buried beneath all of these new attitudes that he's been exhibiting, and I'm very certain that whatever it is, it can't be good!' Kimberly mused to herself, "I hope I don't seem like what I'm thinking or get carried away by my thoughts." She worked hard to maintain this appearance.While they were all feasting, she was thinking about her buddy Mohandia and the things that were going on in their relationship."I don't know what it is about me, but Mohandia seems to know it already. Why wasn't I the one to find out about it first?" I am certain that Mohandia
Mohandia's expression changed to one of amazement and bewilderment as soon as Kimberly told her that she had truly seen Mohandia's biological father, who had been killed a very long time ago. Mohandia could not believe that Kimberly had witnessed such a thing."Because I didn't want people to think I was crazy or that I was seeing things that weren't there, I made the decision not to discuss any of these things in public. Also, I'm not sure whether I was imagining things that weren't there. However, I did see it, and I believe it is imperative that I share this information with you." Kimberly provided an explanation to her as they kept eye contact with one another throughout the conversation."I'm curious, Kimberly; do you even have a solid grasp on who you are?" Mohandia posed the question to Kimberly while maintaining a concentrated and inquisitive gaze into her eyes."I'm sorry, but could you please explain it to me?" Kimberly responded, giving off the impression that she did not u
Alpha Derrick observed the expressions on their faces, and he was helpless to do anything except ponder what could be causing them to respond in such a peculiar manner.Elena and the physician approached him as the three of them greeted one another on their way, and at the very moment when Alpha was ready to ask them a question, Elena swiftly murmured some words to him."Would you kindly excuse us for leaving this location? There is something important that we need to discuss with you!"Elena stated while giving off an impression of being concerned and frightened."No, I'm not going to budge an inch from this location; you two should simply tell me whatever is currently going through your heads right now!" Alpha Derrick shouted those words furiously in a tone that suggested he was angry off, and he also appeared to be too interested to wait for whatever it was that they might have to say.How Alpha Derrick spoke to Elena as well as how he was behaving in front of her caused Elena to b
When Jefferson finally managed to get Mohandia, Kaitlyn, and Liza out of the maid's quarter after everyone else had gone to bed, it was extremely late in the night.They had already been notified earlier in the day that he would be coming for them, so they all slept in the same room and made sure that their door was opened down. This made it simple for Jefferson to slip inside and reach for them when he came looking for them.They were all led to a very remote location that none of them had ever been to or been to previously, so they hastily left the quarters and went away from there as soon as they could.They had all arrived at a very large building, and it was very quiet. Jefferson asked the others to remain still and watch him as he looked around to see if anyone was watching them or following them, and once he was certain that no one was following them, he led the three of them inside the large building.As soon as they entered, they purposefully made it so that the interior of t
After Elena had done expressing those things, and just as Liza was going to say anything, they all heard footsteps coming closer to them in the room where they were all standing.They were eager to know who would have received permission inside the physician's Chambers without Jefferson coming to notify them, and Elena concluded that there could only be one person who did so."It seems like the Alpha is back, and it most likely brought someone with them!" Elena said as she gazed intently into the eyes of the attending physician.In what seemed like no time at all, Alpha Derrick entered the chamber, and immediately after he came to the sorcerer Heliandria, who was holding his staff.Alpha Derrick was taken aback and angry when he saw Kimberly's friends in the room. He knew that was not the topic of discussion, and the order he gave before leaving was not the same as the one he gave before leaving. Elena was the only person who dared to disobey the rule and act in a manner that was diff
