CHAPTER SEVEN
ALPHA LESLEY
I could hear the commotion from outside. I already knew that the fetish woman had arrived. I walked towards my window and peeped to see her alighting from the car. My heart melted at the sight of her shoe as she stuck her right leg out of the car after the driver opened the door for her to go in.
She walked out of the car, and her eyes glowed like the morning sun. I gulped down hard on my saliva. Her beauty melted my heart. I turned to my table to grab my phone and call the maid that had been assigned to take care of her on her arrival.
Before I grabbed my phone, the maid walked into the scene. I smiled inwardly. I stood by the window watching her with a racing heart. The woman was a beauty to behold, and something kept drawing me towards her.
After a while of standing by the window unconsciously, a knock on my door interrupted my thoughts. I walked towards the door and opened it. My messenger was standing outside the door. He bowed in front of me.
"The fetish woman has just arrived, sir," he informed me.
I nodded.
I waved him off. He bowed again before walking away. I would go to the fetish woman later. I had plans to wait for her to finish settling in the room that was prepared for her and her daughter.
I walked back to my bed and sat there with my head bowed. I didn't want to think too much about anything. I couldn't explain the connection I felt with Mira, and I didn't want to bother my head too much about it.
After waiting for a while, I stood up and walked out of my room. I should welcome the fetish woman before doing anything else. I got out of my building and began walking to the sacred building where the fetish woman was lodged. I had just stepped out of my building when I saw Tasha walking towards me.
Tasha had been my mistress for three years now. I had no choice but to settle with her since she didn't want to leave. I hadn't found another mate after I rejected my mate.
"Lesley," she called romantically as she approached me.
She tried to place her hands on my chest, but I quickly grabbed her hands. I felt a bit irritated about the fact that she called my name the way she did. Aside from Jeremy, she was the only person who had ever uttered my name without formalities.
"Where are you headed?" She asked me.
I rolled my eyes inwardly while trying to force a smile in front of her. She moved closer to me and slowly pulled her hands away from my grip. She placed her hands on my chest and ran her hands around my chest, drawing imaginary images there. I decided to let her be. I knew how stubborn Tasha was. She would not let it be.
"I need to attend to something very urgent," I responded to her.
"What's more urgent than this?" Shr asked as she stuck her tongue out of her mouth and rolled it seductively.
I didn't know why I was feeling the way I felt. I only felt the tingling feeling in my dick for a few seconds, and it immediately went away.
"I think it is more urgent this time," I responded to her as I tried to walk away.
She held my hands and pulled me back. She looked up at me pleadingly.
"I want you right now," she spoke curtly.
I sighed deeply and rolled my eyes afterwards. I held her shoulders and looked her in the eyes. I intentionally wore a mean and straight look. I didn't want to be convinced by her.
"I need to attend to something. I will call you when I need you."
"I already feel so hot down there," she cried.
I dipped my hand into my pocket, realising that talking to Tasha would not help issues. I pulled out a bundle of cash and handed it over to her. She took it from me and placed it in her bra. She frowned deeply as she faced
E.
"So what was that one for?" She asked while chewing like a ruminant animal.
"I want you to take this and stay away from the pack house for the main time."
She took a step backwards and stared at me with shock in her eyes. I sighted Emma watching me from a corner. I gulped down hard on my saliva. I wondered how long she had been standing there. It seemed like she was angry about something. She kept stealing glances at us.
"What for?" Tasha asked me and scoffed. "I should leave the pack house? Whose?"
She slapped her forehead.
"How do you even think that's going to work?"
I wanted to just push her aside and go to Emma, but I controlled myself from doing so even though I was already losing my patience. I turned to Emma, and she was still standing there.
"Please, Tasha. Don't make this any more difficult for us. I will explain everything to you later."
"You ate definitely out of your mind!" She cursed me.
Tasha was the only one who had the guts to disrespect me to an extent. Yet, she knew the limit of what I could take. She moved closer to me and placed her hands around my shoulder. She wore a pleading and pitiful look. I felt bad for her, but I was not about to change my mind.
Tasha tried to bargain with me. She promised to satisfy me that night but my mind was already made up. I didn't want her interrupting my time with Emma. I had plans to get closer to Emma and try to win her heart. If my mistress should always be around me, then it wouldn't be too possible.
"Do you want to return the cash now?" I asked her.
She pushed her lips forward and shook her head. She wanted to walk away from me, and I grabbed her hands and pulled her back.
"Tasha, please."
She nodded her head.
"Call me when you need me."
I sighed deeply as I watched her walk away from me. I suddenly remembered Emma. I turned towards her and saw that she was already walking back to her room. I rushed towards her. She was about to enter her room when I called her name.
She stopped abruptly and turned to me.
"I heard that you arrived," I told her. "I wanted to come to you earlier, but I thought you would need alone time to settle in. Hope you like the place?"
She nodded her head.
"Thank you. And welcome for coming."
"Thank you for having me."
Emma let out a small captivating smile, making my heart melt. I moved closer to her and grabbed her hands. I looked deep into her eyes, and she stared back straight into my eyes.
"You smile is addictive."
I didn't know how those lame words escaped my lips. I slowly began to lean towards her. She shut her eyes and began to lean towards me as well. I was about to grab her lips when she pushed me backwards and pulled away, tilting half of her body backwards.
CHAPTER EIGHT MIRAMy heart throbbed as I hurried into my room. I could not believe what had just happened. I almost kissed Lesley. After everything he did to me, I still let him get that close to me. I was a coward. The first thing I noticed as I rushed into my room was my daughter sleeping peacefully at a side of the huge bed that was prepared for us. I gasped when I noticed another masculine shadow in my room. I was about to scream when he grabbed me and covered my mouth. Thoughts ran through my head. I almost thought it was a serial killer, and I wondered how he got into my room. My eyes slowly drifted back to my daughter, and my heart skipped as I thought of something silly. "Was she even sleeping?" I questioned my heart. As though everything was happening so fast, I felt my back touch the wall. The hands were slowly slipping away from my lips, and I was going to scream once I got the opportunity to. "You're going to wake her up." I heard the familiar voice, and his hands f
CHAPTER NINE JEREMYJeremy was a perfect example of a complete gentleman. He didn't try to push or force things. He let go of me and walked away from the room without saying anything to me. I felt bad for Jeremy. I wanted to call him back or even follow him to his room so we could continue. This was not only because I felt bad for Jeremy. It was also because I wanted it, too. I walked towards my bed and sat there as I wrapped my hands around my body. The tough woman I trained to be for years was gradually becoming weak. I was slowly catching feelings for Jeremy even though I knew that it was wrong. I shouldn't be catching feelings for him because he was a Brown. Not only that, he was also the twin brother of my former mate. How would it balance? I was scared of loving him. What if he was also just trying to get into my pants like his brother did some years ago? What if this was also a bet? Tears dropped down my cheek, and I quickly wiped it off. I was losing control already. I slo
CHAPTER TENALPHA JEREMYAfter seeing Mira, I realised that I never stopped loving her. I never thought I did, but seeing her affirmed everything. I thought I would be able to move on, but it had been years already. I had always loved Mira, and that was why I was so hurt when I realised that she had sex with my brother years back. I knew about the bet back then, but I could not stop it. I didn't want to betray my brothers because of a woman, and I hoped that Mira would not fall for it. It pained me that she was so naive. I thought Lesley was out of the way after what happened. Somehow, it was good that he rejected the mate bond. I was jealous of the fact that she was mated to him, and not me. I knew the cost of him rejecting her, and that was my only pain. Now that she was back, I wasn't supposed to be competing with anyone over her love, but it seemed like I would be doing plenty of that. It seemed like Lesley was in love with her this time. I would not stop reminding her how much
CHAPTER ONE MIRA "How do I look?" "Lucky," Sharon's voice reminded me of where I came from. I was standing in front of the mirror. The mirror hung on a single nail in a corner of a dimly lit, sparsely furnished room. The mirror's surface is cloudy and streaked, reflecting a distorted image of the bare, peeling walls and the worn, creaky floorboards. The frame, once ornate, now hung crooked and faded, its gilded edges chipped and worn away. The mirror seemed to lean wearily against the wall, as if it too had given up on the surroundings. My presence in front of the mirror was supposed to brighten up the place. But, the background still looked as pale as ever. Did I just say pale? I asked myself as I racked my head for the best word to describe it. "Poor," Sharon's voice was heard again. It was as though she read my thoughts. That was the word I was searching for. The exact words. Everything in front of the mirror screamed poverty, including myself. "You shouldn't go into
CHAPTER TWO MIRA Once I was outside, goose bumps began to appear all over my skin. It seemed as though the house had been shedding me from cold all along. I felt cold tringles all over my body, and my whole body suddenly began to vibrate from the cold. I looked down at myself. I had come here to get introduced finally as tye alpha's mate, only to get humiliated and rejected. I wanted to run home quickly so I wouldn't freeze under the cold weather, but I realised that my feet began to freeze first. I neither came out with a bag, nor did I even have money to board a cab. I had trekked all the way here, hoping that alpha Lesley would drop me off after the party. I wrapped my arm around my body and began to walk towards the thick, high gate that guarded the mansion. My whole body was shaking terribly, I could not understand what was going on. "Mira," I heard a familiar voice sing my name. I turned around to see Alpha Lesley's younger brother standing there. I wanted to keep wa
CHAPTER THREE MIRA I could feel my body moving. All I saw was the cloudy sky above my head. It seemed like it was falling on me. I suddenly opened my eyes, and all I could see now was darkness. I was still moving. I realised that someone was carrying me when I felt his broad shoulders. I leaned towards him and buried my head on his chest as hot tears began to flow freely down my eyes. I could feel my lips shaking as the tears I had pilled up since thus whole drama started began to flood my eyes. My eyes were hurting from how hot the tears were. Soon, the body stopped moving and dropped me to the floor. I could see now. It was a little bit dark out there, but I could see slightly. I felt completely empty. Of course, my wolf, Shilo, was gone. I still could not believe it. I began to sob again. Jeremy pulled me close and hugged me tightly. He had saved me and carried me out of the hall. "I am so sorry you had to go through all of that in the hands of my brother." I sniffled
CHAPTER FOUR ALPHA LESLEY (Five years later). My claw digged deep into the wooden table in my office. I scratched the table as I walked forward, leaving lines of my four clwas on the table. The screeching sound from the table wasn't pleasant to my ears. I gritted my teeth as much as I could to release the anger I felt in my system. "Alpha Lesley, you have to calm down. " I turned to Ramon angrily. How could he easily say I should calm down? The pack was under attack, and everything was going bizarre, and he expected me to calm down? "They attacked again yesterday," I spoke with rage. "They took our women and men again! They took children!" "We have one of them. Let's make him spill their hideout." I hissed loudly. "We have totured him enough, and he's not speaking. I wonder why Alpha Martin wants us to still keep him alive." Ramon was quiet for a while. He was the pack's only surviving beta over the years. He was closer to me than the rest of my brothers. Jeremy sho
CHAPTER FIVE MIRA My phone beeped with a notification while sitting on my couch and enjoying a glass of wine. I leaned forward and picked up the phone, which was lying on the table. "A place has been secured for yourself and your daughter. My limousine would be coming to pick you up soon." The message read. I scoffed, already knowing who the message was from. So he really didn't remember me. And he was still as selfish and wicked as he used to be then. He never changed even one bit. At the thought of that, sharp pain swept through my entire body, making my face turn white. But this time around, it was not out of agony like anyone would think. It was out of anger and the burning urge for revenge. I was holding tightly onto the side of the couch in exasperated breath when my five year old daughter walked up to me. "Mum, I think I've got something in my eyes." The innocent velvety voice floated into my ears. I turned my eyes to look at the lad in front of me, h

CHAPTER SIXMIRAMy heart sank when Jeremy offered that I become his Luna. I was wolfless, so the mate stuff was not real."I... I can't," I told him plainly. "I already have..." I paused. I didn't want to reveal too much to them yet. The only reason I came here was to wipe the entire pack. I had no business whatsoever with being anyone mate or whatever. "Jeremy. I can not accept the mate bond. I am wolfless, and I feel nothing." Jeremy smirked as he got even closer. I could hear my heart pounding more terribly this time. I tried to control the pace I was breathing since it was giving out too much, but I could not. I was out of control of that. "You and I know very well that you're trying to lie to me. But it wouldn't work. You can lie to me but not yourself. Yes, you lost your wolf, but then..." "Jeremy!" I cut in sharply before he would finish what he had to say. He leaned away from me and sighed deeply. I also exhaled deeply, thinking that he was finally letting me go. He fac
