So here I am, at the bus stop in the middle of the night, my bags on the floor. I’d rather eat grass like a goat than apologize to that fool.I sighed and looked down at the ground in defeat. Maybe I should have done it… but I wasn’t wrong!Now I have nowhere to go…Wait.*Him…*“No, Lucia, anyone but him,” Alexandria quickly said, malice dripping from her voice.“But we have no choice!” I yelled into the night.She groaned and whimpered, clearly not liking the idea.As I waited for a bus, I realized I’d have to swallow the one thing most important to me: my pride.“Hey, what about me?” Alexandria whined.*Sorry, the second most important thing to me—my pride.*“Hmph!”I finally caught a bus and was on my way. I would also need to take a cab to reach the estate since buses weren’t allowed. It was the middle of the night, so I had no idea if I’d even get a cab.The bus reached my destination, and I hopped off with all my bags. As expected, there was no cab in sight.I decided to start
"I... Dante... Williams…”“Dante, don’t! Stop it!”“I reject you as my mate…”---The school bustled with students frantically moving through the halls, each one racing to get to class on time.Inside a brightly decorated classroom, Miss Lucia, a kind-hearted teacher with a warm smile, was trying to calm her students.“Alright, little pups, settle down and take your seats, please,” she said gently. Her voice carried a soothing tone that worked like magic. The children quickly obeyed, shuffling to their chairs.“Miss Lucia, your hair looks really pretty today!” one of the students, Kiwi, piped up from her seat, her eyes wide with admiration.Miss Lucia’s smile widened at the compliment. “Thank you, Kiwi. That’s so sweet of you,” she replied, making a mental note of the child’s kind words.She turned back to the rest of the class. “Okay, pups, today we’re going to learn ab—” She was cut off by the sound of the classroom door creaking open.“Good morning, Miss Lucia,” the stern voice of
Lucia held Ellis’ hand as they strolled down the street, cheerfully singing rhymes and kicking pebbles along the sidewalk.They arrived at the bus stop, and Ellis gazed around in awe. “I’ve never taken a bus before, Miss Lucia,” he said innocently.Lucia chuckled. Rich kid, her wolf, Alexandria, teased in her mind.“How does it feel, riding the bus for the first time?” Lucia asked, pulling Ellis closer protectively as the vehicle approached.“It’s smelly,” he said, wrinkling his nose.Lucia laughed heartily. Kids always spoke the truth, uncaring about social niceties. She nodded. “It is, isn’t it?”They both giggled, continuing their rhymes as they boarded.---Later, they got off the bus and began walking down another quiet street. The tall trees lining the road made the surroundings feel more secluded.“Are you tired, Ellis?” Lucia asked gently, concern creeping into her voice. The once somber boy was still smiling brightly.“I’m not tired, Miss Lucia!” Ellis hopped around to prove
The door opened, and a maid stood there, her uniform slightly rumpled. She looked breathless and tired. And she smelled like... sex?Lucia’s face twisted in shock and disgust, while Ellis scrunched up his nose, hiding further behind her."Um... who are you?" the maid asked, her voice hoarse and shaky."I’m Lucia, Ellis’ teacher. He was left at school for three hours, and when no one came for him, I decided to bring him home myself." Lucia's voice held a sharp edge of anger. Not only had they left the boy stranded, but there seemed to be no one even preparing to get him. She wondered how long he would’ve been left there if she hadn’t intervened."Oh... um, thank you, young Master," the maid muttered, reaching a hand toward Ellis."NO!" Ellis yelled, retreating further behind Lucia."I would like to speak to his father," Lucia said firmly. She noticed the maid flinch at the mention of the Alpha, her face betraying both fear and, oddly, a flicker of arousal."T-The Alpha can’t see anyone
We stared each other down. Even though I had to raise my head and stretch to look at him, I wasn't going to give up.We both reeled our wolves in and steadied ourselves.Ellis whimpered behind me, clearly terrified."You must have a lot of nerve to yell at me... Omega," he sneered, his voice dripping with malice.I didn’t let it faze me, glaring back heavily."Inside," he commanded, turning to walk back into the house.I hesitated but eventually followed, holding Ellis’ hand protectively.The house was gloomy but well-organized and beautifully decorated. Dante sat down on a couch, gesturing for me to sit on the one across from him.I held Ellis close and sat. "Yes?"Dante smirked, anger still burning in his eyes. "I must say, you put on quite the show back there," he said with disdain and a hint of amusement.I hummed in response, already wanting to get straight to the point.His eyes narrowed. "What do you want?""Treat your son better," I said bluntly.He looked taken aback. "And wh
I was shocked at what I just heard. **Work for him?! Like, for real?!**"Excuse me?" I asked, my voice laced with disbelief.He groaned, clearly impatient. "I said, work for me, Omega.""Lucia!" I corrected sharply."Whatever," he rolled his eyes dramatically, "Work for me.""In case you haven't been paying attention, I *am* his teacher! I already have a job!" I exclaimed, matching his sass with an eye roll of my own.He shrugged, completely unfazed. "I know that, but Ellis seems to like you. I can’t take care of him properly, so you can. Be his caretaker or something."I glanced at Ellis, who was still glued to my side. His innocent eyes flicked between his father and me, pleading silently."Come on, Omega. I’m not asking you to quit your job. Just… add Ellis to your daily life," he said, waving a hand like it was the simplest thing in the world.I thought about it for a moment and sighed. "So, what would I be doing exactly?""Live here," he replied casually."WHAT?!"Now he was push

Alexandria was quickly overpowered and pinned to the ground by his wolf, Chase. But she wasn’t going to give up that easily. She struggled against him, and when his grip loosened, she broke one hand free and hit him across the face.He stumbled back, holding his chin. She seized the opportunity to kick him hard in the groin and then bit down on his arm.He yelled in pain and tried to push her off, but one thing about Alexandria was her grip—she wasn’t budging. She bit down hard, nearly ripping his arm off, when a gunshot rang out.**BAM!**We both flinched and pulled away from each other.I took over, my eyes returning to their normal color. I looked at the person who fired the shot… of course, it was my landlord.“What do you two think you’re doing?!” he yelled in his old, shaky voice.I got up quickly, eager to explain myself. “This man here spoke to me in a ve—”My landlord raised a hand in my face and glared at me. “I do not want to hear it, Lucia!”I scoffed in disbelief.
