Reyes entered the club, rubbing his head in frustration. He sat on a barstool and ordered a bottle of whiskey to clear his mind. How could his own brother treat him this way? And now he had nowhere to go.
FLASHBACK
"Get out of here now, you murderer!" His brother Logan shouted. "Logan, how could I kill your wife, your mate? I would never do such a thing. Why do you hate me so much?" Reyes yelled angrily at him.
"So you still have the mouth to talk. Father, do something about this. You can't let him go unpunished," Logan said.
"Father, you know I'm innocent," Reyes said, turning to plead with his father. "I'm going to be the alpha in a few days. Why would I kill my brother's wife?" he said sadly.
"I'm sorry, Reyes, but all the evidence points to you. You are hereby banished from this pack," his father said.
"No, father, you can't do this to me. I didn't kill her, I swear," Reyes begged earnestly.
"Drag him out and make sure he never sets foot in this place again," Logan said with a smirk on his face.
"I will definitely get back at you and take what belongs to me," Reyes yelled as they dragged him out.
He was dragged out and the door was locked. He had truly been banished from his pack. He lost all strength and started crying. He had nowhere to go. He needed to drink away his sorrows and find a bitch to fuck.
He kept wandering around until he finally reached the beautiful city streets. It was already late, and he saw a club down the street buzzing with music. So he went there immediately.
FLASHBACK ENDS
He continued to think about everything but decided to live a normal human life in the city.
“One more!" Reyes exclaimed to the bartender, relishing the burn of alcohol as it slid down his throat. He took a sip,holding the glass in his hands and gazing at it absentmindedly.
Just as he was about to take another sip, a sweet and captivating scent wafted into his nose,
instantly arousing his senses. His eyes wdened in surprise as his inner wolf whimpered, recognizing the scent of their mate.
"Mate!"he whispered, turning sharply to face the woman beside him, who was clearly drunk.
"Sir!"she slurred, flashing him a drunken smile and seductively biting her lip.
"Has anyone ever told you how incredibly sexy you look?" she whispered, reaching out to brush his hair behind his ear.
Reyes tightened his grip on the glass, a low growl of pleasure rumbling in his chest.
Angry and possessive, he grabbed her hand and forcefully pulled it away, growling at her.
"What do you think you're doing?" he demanded.
"Simply admiring your attractive features, sir," she replied, her arousal evident in her scent.
Reye's eyes widened in shock as he realised she wasn't a wolf.
"She's not a wolf," Xander, Reye's wolf, growled inside him.
"I'm talking to you, sir," the lady slurred, giggling as her words came out mixed up. She reached out to touch him. "Hot damn, you look so fine."
"Are you a stripper?" she asked, running her hands over his hard chest. She could barely believe what she was doing. She was drunk, angry, and tense because her ex-boyfriend had called her boring.
"Bastard!" she hissed at Reyes, who gave her a confused look, as if he were her ex-boyfriend. But then her senses were drawn back to the alcohol, and she followed her inner desire as she fell forward and hung onto the man's chest.
"Excuse me?" Reyes was offended, but before he could push this rude and beautiful woman away, her scent got the best of him.
His wolf shouted in his mind again: "Mate! She's our mate, do something"
From being called a stripper to being a bastard.
Before he had a chance to be surprised by her outrageous behavior, going from calling him a stripper to a bastard, his mind was completely consumed by the excitement of his inner wolf.
Mate! No way! He had almost become an Alpha, and there had never been an Alpha mated to a woman in history! And why would the Moon Goddess mate him to a woman like her anyway?
After all, he was Reyes, the future Alpha of the Blood Crest pack in the werewolf world. Even though he was banished and planned to become a successful billionaire in the human world, he was still rich and could do anything.
But what? She called him a bastard on their first meeting?
If that was all, it might have been better. All he would have to do was walk away from her. But the Moon Goddess decided to make a woman like her his mate? That was something he would never settle for.
"Oh, not you!" she quickly said, her hazel eyes flashing innocently. Despite the judgment he had made of her, he couldn't look away. "It's my stupid boyfriend. Well, he's my ex now, considering the fact that he cheated on me. There's no way I'm going back to that bastard."
Even though the woman had a heart pinned on someone else, which was apparently why she had drunk herself into a stupor, that was one of the reasons he hated humans. They were too weak for his liking. They could spend the rest of their lives pining for things that shouldn't matter.
And if she was supposed to be his mate, and he wasn't banished, how would she fulfill her role as his Luna?
He shook his head. No! She just wasn't right for him. There was no way he would ever claim a human like her as his mate.
Human!
He swallowed the sudden lump that formed in his throat.
Even though he was trying so hard to sever the mate bond in his mind, he couldn't deny that the woman in front of him was incredibly beautiful. Plus, she had curves in all the right places. He was sure that her breasts would fit perfectly into his palm if he cupped one of them right away.
He was still fighting his inner battle when the woman in front of him leaned over and kissed him fully on the lips.
Reyes was taken aback by the unexpected kiss from the woman. In that moment, his determination wavered, and he found himself unable to resist her advances.He was going to sleep with her for the night. Once it was morning, he was going to put her out of his mind and thoughts."I could make it all disappear," he whispered darkly, pressing himself against her. He watched with satisfaction as a glassy look overcame her eyes, indicating her surrender to his touch.If she wanted sex, he was more than willing to give her exactly that."Yes, please," she mumbled in response. "How much did it cost for a night?"******Reyes forcefully kicked open the door to the motel room, pulling the woman inside by her arm. Her hazel eyes scanned the room, taking in the surroundings. The woman had been unable to keep her hands off him, her small and slender fingers caressing his chest and neck. She traced her fingers down his Adam's apple, causing him to nearly lose control. He grabbed her waist, lifted he
“Where the hell are you?" Jeanette yelled as soon as Christine stepped into the house.Christine winced at the loudness, holding her head in pain. Her headache intensified, and she felt quite miserable."Why the hell are you yelling?" Christine asked, her voice laced with a hint of exhaustion.She raised a hand to her forehead, gently massaging it.With a sigh, she kicked off her shoes, and carefully placed them on the shoe rack by the door.As she made her way into the living room, Christine's body sank into the plush cushions of the couch, offering a much-needed sanctuary from the outside world. The soft fabric embraced her tired form, providing a sense of comfort that she desperately craved."I couldn't find you, I looked everywhere.”“Christine, where were you?" The voice belonged to a more mature individual, their tone tinged with concern and a touch of frustration.Christine's body tensed up upon hearing her mother's voice."Mom, why are you here?" Christine's voice dripped with
CHRISTINE'S LIVING ROOMSunlight streams through the windows, casting a warm glow on the room. Christine chases after her energetic four year old daughter, Nadia, who giggles and runs around the room. The result of the one night that she had with a stranger five years ago was not so bad after all, having giving birth to a beautiful daughter makes her sooo happy, even though she remembered the troubles she passed through, especially when mother learnt of the pregnancy, it was not so easy for her but now everything has become a memory."Nadia, sweetie, it's time to get ready for school!" Christine shouted for the umpteenth time."Catch me, Mama!" she giggled.Christine finally catches up to Nadia and scoops her up in her arms, both of them laughing."Oh, you little troublemaker! You're growing up so fast," she said, smiling."I don't want to go to school, Mama. Can't we just play?" she said, pouting.Christine smiles warmly, brushing a strand of Nadia's curly hair away from her face."I
Christine stood in front of her mirror, adjusting the collar of her blouse and smoothing down the fabric of her fitted skirt. The soft light of the morning sun filtered through her window. Today was the day she had been looking forward to—her date with Eugene. She had chosen her outfit carefully, wanting to strike the perfect balance between casual and chic. With a final spritz of her favorite perfume, she grabbed her purse and headed out the door.The restaurant was a quaint little tucked away on a quiet street, its outdoor seating adorned with twinkling fairy lights. As Christine arrived, she spotted Eugene waiting for her at a table, his face lighting up with a smile that sent butterflies fluttering in her stomach. He looked handsome in a crisp button-up shirt, his hair slightly tousled in that effortlessly charming way.“Hey, you look amazing!” he said, standing to pull out her chair.“Thanks! You’re not looking too shabby yourself,” she replied, her cheeks warming as she took a s
Reyes sat behind his sleek mahogany desk, the soft hum of the city filtering through the windows of his office. As the owner of one of the largest companies in the USA, he was accustomed to the weight of responsibility that came with his multi-billion-dollar empire.The door swung open, and Sarah stepped in, her heels clicking against the polished floor. Reyes looked up, ready to discuss the quarterly projections, but his attention was immediately drawn to the woman standing beside her, his new secretary, was a striking figure, her auburn hair cascading over her shoulders and her bright hazel eyes sparkling with a mix of confidence and curiosity.Reyes's heart skipped a beat. He recognized her instantly as the woman he had seen at the restaurant the night before. He had found himself captivated by her presence, a feeling that had lingered long after he had left the restaurant.“Mr. Reyes, this is Christine,” Sarah introduced, her voice breaking through his reverie. “She’ll be assistin
Suddenly, Sarah put down another paper. " This is the conversation if you can survive for more than a month." Christine's eyes grew wider." That's enough for my daughter school fees and to also take of my mom. "I would not have to worry if that amount goes into my account every month." Nadia would be enjoying so much and even my Jeanette can benefit from this. "But you have to deal with Mr reyes," Sarah said. " Why do you say so, he seemed so nice," Christine said " Because that is how he is on the first day anyone resumes work, he is very arrogant and annoying." " As long as I can get this pay I don't mind facing him." She replied before Sarah left the office.She sank back into her chair, flip through the documents on her table, and processed some on her laptop, she finished in 3hrs, by the time she looked up, it was already evening, she immediately packed her bags and left the office.She was already driving home, when she remembered Nadia"Oh my God." She immediately turne
“Excuse me?” Reyes raised an eyebrow, his voice low and measured, but the steel in it was unmistakable. He had always prided himself on maintaining a professional demeanor, but Christine’s audacity had caught him off guard. “You think I’m rude?”Christine, her arms crossed defiantly, met his gaze without flinching. “If I had known the CEO of Fortune Productions was this rude, I wouldn’t have accepted the job,” she shot back. The words hung in the air, heavy and charged, as a few nearby employees paused in their work, their eyes darting between the two.Reyes felt a surge of anger rise within him, but he quickly tempered it. He was not one to lose control, especially not in front of his staff. “Is that what you think?” he asked, his voice steady but edged with disbelief. “That I’m arrogant?”Before Christine could respond, Sarah, the office manager, rushed forward, her face a mask of concern. “Mr Blackwell, I’m so sorry about this,” she interjected, her tone urgent as she gently pulled
“Christine, I know this isn’t what you envisioned when you took the job. But hear me out. Why not give it three months? Work with us at Fortune Productions. You might find it’s not as bad as you think.” He leaned forward and smirked. “Three months? You mean three months of chaos and your endless demands? Sounds like a dream come true.” Christine said forcing a smile “I promise, it’s not all chaos. There’s a method to the madness. And who knows? You might even enjoy it.” Reyes chuckled lightly. “Enjoy it? You’re the reason I’m in this mess, Reyes. If you hadn’t—” she screamed in her head wanting to talk but she held her self. "Of course, I would enjoy it, your arrogance and bossy attitude." “I know, I know. But running away won’t solve anything, you look classic and the documents you sorted out yesterday looks like you can handle the position, you just need a little push. Besides you sound like you have known me for a long time .”A push? You turned my life upside down, and now yo
"I resign," Christine said, her voice firm and resolute. "Sorry for all the fuss I made, and I'll start paying the fine as from next month."Reyes' face turned beet red with rage as he slammed his fist on the desk. "Are you kidding me?" he thundered, his voice echoing off the walls. "You think my father-in-law will let you get away with this? Or should I say, my potential father-in-law?"Christine took a step back, her eyes widening in alarm as Reyes' anger boiled over. "You attacked me in front of him," Reyes continued, his voice rising "He even came to my mansion to look for me, just so he could deal with me and deal with you too!"The room seemed to shake with the force of Reyes' anger, and Christine felt a shiver run down her spine."Because of that, I take it very seriously that I decide to quit," Christine said, her voice firm. "I would leave and disappear from this city."Reyes raised an eyebrow, a skeptical look on his face. "Are you really being stupid or pretending to be inn
Jeanette also joined in, laughing and nodding in agreement. "Yeah, Nadia really loves reading books, and I love that about her. She's just a cute little girl."Christine smiled at her friend's words, her eyes shining with warmth as she gazed at her daughter. "I'm so lucky to be your mom," she whispered, her voice filled with emotion.Nadia looked up at her mom, her eyes sparkling with innocence. "Of course, mommy. I'm also very lucky. I'm also very lucky to have you."Christine's heart swelled with love and gratitude as she listened to her daughter's words. She felt a lump form in her throat as Nadia continued, "Because of that, I promise never to make you sad, mom."Christine's eyes welled up with tears as she opened her arms, and Nadia slipped into her hug. They laughed a little as Nadia parted her curly auburn hair, revealing her bright smile.The innocent girl had no idea that above her head, her mother closed her eyes to hide tears.As Christine hugged her daughter, rubbing Nadia
Reyes swallowed hard, he felt tightness in his chest, Brandon's words were like arrows that hit his heart. "Besides, our relationship is limited to colleagues," Brandon said, his voice calm and measured. "My concern for her is also limited to pity I think other bodyguards also share my thoughts. Christine is a typical innocent girl who deserves to be protected."The corners of Reyes' lips twitched, a mixture of amusement and annoyance. "Innocent?" he repeated, his voice laced with sarcasm. "You should see how she smiled in front of Weston. I shuddered in horror. She's not a good girl that deserves to be protected. You can't be fooled, Brandon."Brandon's expression remained neutral, but a hint of surprise flickered in his eyes. "Sir, I think you're misunderstanding her," he said, his voice calm. "Christine is not the type of person to play games or manipulate others. She's genuine and kind, and that's why I think she deserves our protection."Reyes snorted, his expression disdainful.
Kaido sat down at his desk in his private office, his eyes scanning the numerous calls and text messages from Jeanette. He had intentionally ignored her for days, wanting to make her worry. But the truth was, he was trying to distance himself from her.As he looked at the messages, Kaido felt a pang of guilt. He knew Jeanette was worried about him, and he was taking advantage of her concern. But he couldn't help it. He was feeling something he wasn't supposed to feel.He was a murderer, a cold-blooded one at that. He had killed countless people in his quest for revenge, and he had never felt a shred of remorse. But Jeanette was different. She made him feel things he couldn't explain, things he didn't want to feel.He was drawn to her, and it scared him. Kaido didn't want to complicate matters. He had started his revenge for a reason, and Jeanette was not going to come and spoil his plans. Never.Kaido's eyes narrowed as he thought about Jeanette. He knew he had to push her away, to ma
As soon as Reyes jolted awake, his eyes widened in surprise. He looked around, trying to remember where he was and what had happened. And then, his gaze fell on Christine.She was sitting on top of him, her body almost half-naked. Reyes' mind was foggy, but he knew that he hadn't done anything with Christine. At least, he didn't think he had.Reyes' eyes narrowed as he tried to piece together the events of the previous night. He remembered Mister Thompson's visit, And then...and then he had moved Christine to bed.The girl had been fast asleep, completely unaware of what was happening. But now, she was sitting on top of him, her body pressed against his. Reyes' heart was racing as he tried to make sense of the situation.Why was Christine sitting on him? And why was she almost half-naked? Reyes' eyes scanned her body, taking in the sight of her bare skin. He felt a surge of desire, but he quickly pushed it aside.Then Christine punched him in the mouth, Reyes' eyes widened in shock. H
Suddenly they heard the movement of legs outside. Reyes' eyes locked onto Christine's, and he mouthed "be quiet" to her. Christine nodded, holding her breath. "Sir, we couldn't find Mr Reyes anywhere in the house," the secretary said. "The guards reported to Mister Thompson that he's not in his office or his bedroom."Christine's eyes widened as she realized that Sage's father had been waiting in the room all this while. No wonder Reyes hadn't moved much, and the air in the wardrobe still felt thin. Christine's heart was racing as she wondered if the sound of their breathing had been caught by Sage's father's ears.Reyes' eyes never left Christine's face as they stood there, frozen in silence. He could see the fear in her eyes, and he knew that he had to protect her. He wrapped his arms around her, holding her close as they waited for Sage's father to leave."Search this room! Look for any secret buttons whatsoever, they must be hiding probably inside a wardrobe I heard something fro
As the day drew to a close, Reyes told Christine that they would be going home together. He instructed Brandon, his driver, to take Christine's car home, and then they left the office together.As they drove to Reyes' mansion, Christine couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. She had no idea why Reyes was being somehow nice to her.When they arrived at the mansion, Reyes led Christine inside and told her to go to the kitchen and make him something to eat. Christine was taken aback by the command, but she didn't argue. She went to the kitchen and quickly made a delicious meal for Reyes.As she served the food to him, Reyes couldn't help but moan in while eating. The food was incredible, and he was impressed by Christine's culinary skills. But he didn't compliment her, still feeling a bit miffed at her for not coming to work for two days.Christine, sensing Reyes' mood, kept her distance. She sat down at the table across from him, but she didn't say a word. Reyes ate in silence, his ey
Jeanette tried to forget about Kaido and decided to distract herself by going to her brother's room. "Hey Mark, how about that dating app I asked you to open?" Jeanette teased, trying to brighten up her mood.Mark looked up from his phone and replied, "Oh sis, you're still on that? Anyway, I opened it a few days ago and I got matched with one girl, but she's ugly."Jeanette playfully rolled her eyes. "Mark, stop! Nobody is ugly, okay? You can just give it a try."Mark shook his head. "No sis, I'm not interested. You know I'm not really into online dating."Jeanette teased him some more. "Okay, if you say so. Anyway, just let me know when you get a girlfriend for yourself, okay?"Mark chuckled. "Okay sis, I will. But for now, can you just leave my room? You're disturbing me."Jeanette laughed and stood up. "Okay, okay, okay! I'll leave. Bye!" She walked out of the room, trying to shake off the lingering thoughts of Kaido.As she walked back to her own room, Jeanette couldn't help but f
As Alpha Logan's words hung in the air, his father's eyes suddenly flickered with life. He sat up in bed coughing seriously his eyes locking onto Alpha Logan's with a piercing intensity."You'll show me?" his father repeated, his voice low and menacing. "You think you can threaten me, Logan? You think you're powerful enough to take on the one who taught you everything you know?" He struggled to say despite being sick.Alpha Logan's eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched in anger. "I'm not threatening you, Father," he said, his voice dripping with venom. "I'm promising you. You've been holding me back for far too long, and it's time for me to take what's mine."His father's eyes flashed with anger, and he swung his legs over the side of the bed. "You dare to challenge me?" he spat, his voice rising. "I am the one who made you, Logan. I am the one who taught you how to hunt, how to fight, how to lead. And this is how you repay me? By threatening me?" He said and started coughing again.Alpha L
