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 should be the nicest of us all, but he didn't meddle in the pack affairs. He had been a shadow of himself the past five years, and u could not care much about him. Neither I nor Martin did.
"I just have to obey all of his orders because he's the oldest of the alphas. It sucks, ruling the pack with two other brothers. I need to prove to this pack that I alone deserves to rule them. I am the strongest among them. I do not need this competition. It wouldn't even help the pack."
Ramon was seated on the couch in my office. In as much as he seemed so nonchalant about everything, I knew that his head was working perfectly. He was thinking about something.
"We have one of the rogues, right?" Ramon asked.
He was still relaxed on the couch. I stopped pacing and gently pulled my claws out of the table. I watched them grow shorter, and u cracked the bones in my neck. I placed both hands in my pocket and faced Ramon.
"We do, and why?"
"I am very sure the rogues are going to attack for the third time. Especially since we have one of them now. If you want to become the only ruler of this pack, then you have to do something extra ordinary. "
He paused and stared up at me. I was searching my brain for what to do.
"You have to singlehandedly save this pack. Of course, not by fighting the rogues alone. We all saw how powerful they were."
I stood there watching him. My mind was completely blank. I had thought they rogues were only able to defeat us the first time because we were taken unaware. They still defeated us the second time and fleed with our own.
"What can I do to save this pack?" I asked him.
"Since we have their own. It would be easy to get the DNA sample of the bloodline..."
"To do what?" I asked with a squeezed brow.
"I know a woman who can help us. She produces a substance that can wipe the wolf off their DNA. once she takes a sample of their DNA... she wipes their wolf off the whole generation. Without their wolf, they are helpless, and you're the hero."
My eyes widened. I was satisfied with the offer.
"Take me to her."
***
I walked into the finely furnished bungalow. It screamed wealth. I was made to wait at the sitting room by the woman's maid. She would join me shortly.
I took in the sight of the sitting room. There was a picture hanging on the wall of the room. A picture of the woman and her daughter. I heard footsteps that distracted me, and I turned towards the direction immediately. My throat immediately went dry at the sight of the woman.
She wore a royal blue dress that touched her feet. There was a long slit in front. I could see her alluring white thigh. I slowly moved my eyes to her face. Oh, my... her face screamed beauty. Her lips were well shaped. Her grey bulgy eyes were charming. Her face was as white as snow.
"You're the man who wants to see me," the lady's voice was heard, and it melted my heart.
She sounded like an angel.
She sat on the couch opposite me and crossed her legs.
"Ramon told me you were coming," she said, staring directly at my eyes without saying a word.
"Ye... yes," I stuttered.
The lady had taken my breath away.
"That's good," she replied. "I heard you want to wipe the wolf off an entire lineage. Isn't that too much?"
She leaned a little closer while she narrowed her eyes.
"I mean, is it not wicked?"
I scoffed.
"Why then do you make it?"
She nodded and leaned backwards. There was something about her that seemed awfully familiar. I could not place a finger on what it was. I knew that I hadn't met her before. Of course, she lived miles away from the pack house. It was impossible that I'd had anything to do with her before.
"Do you have a DNA sample of this lineage?" She asked me.
I slowly nodded my head.
"Good," she responded as she uncrossed her legs. "I would need to see it. I also need to take the DNA sample of your pack so I don't mix things up and mistakenly wipe your wolf instead."
She studied my face carefully as she spoke.
"I will also need to spend a few days in your pack examining my samples. Prepare a room for my daughter and I."
I paused at the mention of my daughter. The girl in the picture was obviously her daughter. That means she also had a husband. I didn't know why a tinge of jealousy suddenly washed all over me. Why was I suddenly getting attracted to this woman.
After rejecting my mate, I didn't get a second chance, mate. I had to find someone to pretend to be my mate and Luna. I didn't want the pack to see me as incapable, so I needed a woman by my side. Jeremy was the only one who didn't care. He hadn't found his mate yet. He just had one night stands with girls and let them go. I would say he learnt that from me.
"You should go now," she spoke before standing up to her feet. "Communicate to me once my place is ready. I have to go prepare food for my husband and daughter."
I stood up and stopped her before she could leave.
"What is your name?" I asked her.
"Mira Sampson," she replied, studying my face with her eyes.
"Oh," I nodded. "I don't re..."
I walked away without another word. She wasn't someone I knew, yet I felt connected to her. I also felt as though I had met her before. Her name didn't even ring a bell in my head.
I pulled out my phone from my pocket and dialled the number of my private investigator.
"I would forward you a name and address," I spoke into the phone. "Find out every single thing about her and her family."
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
CHAPTER SEVENALPHA 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
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 ELEVENALPHA LESLEY"I thought I asked you to leave this palace?" I shouted at Tasha as she walked into my room. If I had known that Tasha was the one behind my door, I wouldn't have opened the door."You just asked me to leave, and you didn't even bother to tell me where to go."I scoffed.Tasha always had silly excuses not to do something. Whenever I asked her to do something, and she didn't want to do it, she would never tell you straight up. She always went through the corners, and her excuses were always unbelievable."You do not have anywhere to go? Is that even an excuse?""Come on, Lesley," she uttered my name as she walked closer to me.She placed her hand on my chest and began to walk her fingers around my chest. I grabbed her hand and dropped it forcefully."Don't you dare!" I warned her.She folded her arms and pushed her lips forward."Isn't this unfair? Every time you have reasons to send me away from your room. Now you are asking me to leave the palace. Where do
CHAPTER TWELVEMIRA"Rena dera prexanta, shallle.... jexi." I read out the incarnations with my eyes tightly shut, and my hands spread out. I was trying to concentrate on the incarnation I was saying. I already wasted too much time to begin. I had been distracted ever since I came into the Palace, and I had not really paid enough attention to my witch practice. My lips moved rapidly nonstop, and I didn't pause forba second to catch my breath. "Mom!" My daughter screamed as she rushed into the inner chamber of the room we shared. There was one thing with sharing a room with kids. Even when you tried to pay attention or focus on something, they would never understand. I thought I would be able to focus while she played in the main room with her toys. I turned around sharply and saw her standing there and staring up at me. There was excitement in her innocent eyes as she looked up at me. I was not curious to know why she interrupted my incarnation when I was not even done yet. "Wh
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN JEREMYThe entirety of the next day uneventful as I stayed back in my room all day.Although I didn’t have engage in much physical activities, I still could not stop the wandering that went on in my mind. If was difficult for me to get my mind off the event that conspired between Mira and I last night. I didn’t know if I had planned or wanted it, but at this point, I knew that I wanted to do it over and over again with her, I wanted her over and over again.I equally didn’t know if this feeling was right or wrong, considering the past we shared, especially the past she shared with Lesley. But that did not stop me from desiring her.I stood up from the bed I was lying on and went over to stand by the window. The sun was already starting to rise, giving a hint at dawn. I had no idea why, but the beautiful burst of orange colour that filled the sky that morning somehow did much to remind me of Mira.Beautiful, soft, delicate, sweet and mesmerising, but yet, resilient.
CHAPTER SIXTEEN MIRAJeremy's hands slowly moved down my thigh. He grabbed my thigh and pulled me closer. Our lips were still locked together as we continued to kiss each other passionately. My hands were securely wrapped around his neck, while his, digged into my body. He grabbed my boobs and squeezed them gently. I moaned into his mouth, and wet liquid poured out from me. I grabbed him more tightly as I felt his hands moving up my thighs. I was already breathing heavily. I feared that my moans would be heard from other rooms, so I shut my mouth tightly and tried to swallow every sound in. He gently pushed me back against the bed and ran his hands around my hair. Jeremy buried his lips on my boobs and began to suck on them. I grabbed his head tightly and pressed my lips together. I moaned out softly, restricting the air and sounds that came out of my lips. I wanted to push Jeremy away. I wanted him to stop what he was doing right away, but I could not bring myself to tell him th
CHAPTER FIFTEENMIRA"You changed a little too much," Jeremy teased me. "I wonder how you recognised me the moment you set eyes on me." I was happy to finally be able to ask him that. It had always been something that got me wondering. How he recognised me was a mystery. Meanwhile, the main person who was supposed to recognise me and have my name ring a bell in his head didn't. "How would I not? I had a long crush on you for years, but you would not get it." I chuckled. I was not sure if he was playing with me right now or if he was serious. I decided not to pay attention to Jeremy. He was probably trying to be naughty. "Well," I said as I leaned towards Jeremy. "Are you going to tell Lesley about me now?" Jeremy scoffed. "Why would I do that?" We had been seated in Jeremy's room since after breakfast. Although, I didn't eat breakfast with them because I was too angry with Lesley. I had asked the maids to serve my breakfast in my room, but Mia ended up eating the dish alone.
CHAPTER FOURTEENMIRAThe sun was already rising so early that morning. I wanted to talk to Lesley, but I didn't know where and how to meet him. I wanted to have a private conversation with him, so I would not just run up to him and ask for his attention. Being alone with him would bring back memories that I was trying to forget. Even though I would not lie to myself that it was difficult to take those thoughts out of my head. I had sex with Lesley several times, and each of them was worth it. It was hard to forget someone who fucks so hard. A knock on my door snapped me out of my thoughts. I inhaled and shook my head quickly as I walked towards the door in a hurry. I opened the door and met one of the kitchen staff standing out there. She bowed in front of me. "I wanted to let you know that breakfast would be ready soon." I nodded. "Will you like to be served in your room, or you will eat in the dining room." I cleared my throat. "I will just eat along with everyone else." T
CHAPTER THIRTEEN MIRA"She's unconscious!" I screamed. Lesley carried her before Jeremy could, and we all rushed out of the house together. We went to see the healer so she would take care of my daughter. When we got to the healers, Chambers, she was not in. My heart was already beating very fast. Jeremy checked her pulse and confirmed that she was only unconscious, but she was still breathing. He ordered some guards to find the healer and bring her back to her Chambers right away. Immediately after the guards walked away from the room, the healer walked into the room. She probably bumped into them on her way back to her Chambers. "She was under an asthma attack, and she just passed out," I cried to the healer immediately as she walked into the house. Lesley lay her on the bed while the healer began to check on her. She used some herbs on Mia. I sat beside her, watching her with my heart racing in my chest. I told myself that it was my fault that my daughter had fallen under
