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
The next day, the maids had already dressed Christine and Nadia in a royal robe and a very beautiful attire, a royal blue attire that fit the theme of the party. Christine looked stunning, and Nadia looked like a little princess.Just as they were about to leave their room, Christine's phone rang. She picked it up, and her face fell as she listened to the caller. It was Jeanette. "Christine, I have some bad news," Jeanette said, her voice somber. "Sarah is dead."Christine's eyes widened in shock. "What? How did it happen?" she asked, her voice trembling.Jeanette explained how Sarah had tried to kill her, and how Sage had been arrested for Sarah's death. Christine couldn't believe what she was hearing. She had loved Sarah like a friend, and she was devastated by her betrayal.As she listened to Jeanette, Christine felt a wave of sadness wash over her. She wished that Sarah had found a better path, one that didn't lead to violence and betrayal. She wished her friend a peaceful rest, a
Every other soldier was still fighting, and Brandon was also fighting Logan's beta Ruslan. Brandon threw the sword into Ruslan's tummy, and he died instantly. Then, Reyes and Logan continued fighting.Luna Athena was already going crazy, she was scared that Reyes was going to get hurt. She didn't care about Logan anymore; Logan was a beast and deserved to die. But she really didn't want anything to happen to Reyes. With his wounded shoulder, Reyes continued fighting. Christine had to cover Nadia's eyes in order not to see everything that was going on. She was already tearing up and crying, and she stared at him fighting his own brother.Then Logan threw an arrow that was on the ground into Reyes' tummy. Immediately, Reyes winced and fell down on one knee, using his sword to support the other knee.Logan was already putting a triumphant smile on his face and looking at Reyes. "I told you I was going to kill you. I warned you. Now you have to die by my sword."But Logan faced back, an
Brandon left Logan alone, immediately someone came to tell him that Reyes had already announced what he wanted to announce in a meeting room. So, Brandon left Logan alone and went to join Reyes in the meeting room.Reyes didn't know what to say he just looked at his mum 'Mom, I know you love Christine, and I would make sure she becomes the lunar of this pack.'"Alpha Elder Jacob slammed his fist on the table again. "And I said no, we cannot have a human ruler!" he exclaimed.Immediately, he wanted to leave the hall, but Brandon blocked him. Then, Reyes turned to Elder Jacob."I understand your concern for this pack, and I know you feel my wife is not capable of ruling this pack. But I can tell you, as you all know, I was absent in this pack for five years. I was in the human world, when none of you have been to, and she was my personal assistant," Reyes said, choosing his words carefully. He didn't want to use the word "secretary" because he feared they might not understand it. "She
Reyes stepped forward, his eyes locked on Logan's, his voice firm and commanding. "I can, Logan, and I will prove that I am innocent of this crime. And that is going to happen today."Immediately, Brandon appeared, a small recorder in his hand. He had already recorded the whole conversation between Reyes and Logan. Brandon handed the recorder to Reyes, who smiled in satisfaction."Thank you, Brandon. You did a good job," Reyes said, his eyes gleaming with triumph.Actually, secretly, Reyes had already called Brandon from the human world, asking for his help that particular day. They had already planned everything that was going to happen, and Brandon had fulfilled his mission perfectly.Reyes moved closer to Alpha Logan, his eyes blazing with anger. "Logan, I am going to play this recording in front of everybody in the council, and they will know that you killed your wife."With that, Reyes turned and stepped out of Logan's room, heading straight to the meeting room. Brandon held Loga
"Yes, of course, Jeanette wouldn't want me to turn into a cold-blooded murderer," Kaido said, staring at Mark.Immediately, they left Sarah's house with the CCTV camera in their hand and headed straight to the police station. As they arrived at the police station, Mark was about to get down and go inside to give them the CCTV camera, but Kaido stopped him."Wait, Mark," Kaido said, thinking for a moment. "They haven't even found the dead body yet. Let's wait until they do before we take any action."Mark nodded in agreement. They both knew that either way, Sage's life was over. She would definitely be one of the most talked-about celebrities, and her image would be tarnished forever. She came from a rich and influential family, and this scandal would be a huge blow to their reputation."Let's go back," Kaido said, starting the car. "We'll wait for the police to find the body and then we'll take our next move."Mark nodded, and they left the police station, heading back to Kaido's hous
All of a sudden, Sage's phone beeped, and she checked the message. Her eyes widened in horror as she read the words: "I know you killed Sarah."Fear gripped her, and she threw her phone across the room, screaming and hurling. "Oh my God, did someone see me? I'm doomed! What would I do now?" Sage exclaimed, pacing around the room in a state of panic.Her mother, who had been in the living room, rushed into Sage's room, concern etched on her face. "Sage, are you alright? I heard a crash in your room."Sage quickly composed herself, trying to hide her fear. "Mom, it's nothing. Just go," she said, yelling at her mom and closing the door in her face.Her mom looked worried and confused as she went back to her room. She couldn't understand what was going on with her daughter.Sage, on the other hand, was panicking more than ever. She rushed to her phone, which was still lying on the floor, and checked if there were any other messages. But there was nothing.She started thinking of ways to e
HUMAN WORLD Sarah sat in her living room, surrounded by the silence of her apartment. She had not left her house in days, ever since Brandon had announced that their boss, had traveled out of the country and would not be back for a while.Sarah's mind was consumed by fear and anxiety. She was terrified that Sage would come to the office and confront her about her failure.Sarah didn't succeed in poisoning Christine, and to make matters worse, Christine had disappeared from work without warning. Sarah knew that Sage would not take kindly to her failure, and she was scared of the consequences.As she sat in her living room, Sarah's thoughts were racing with worst-case scenarios. She imagined Sage storming into the office, her eyes blazing with anger, and her voice dripping with venom.Sarah shuddered at the thought of Sage's wrath. She knew that Sage was capable of destroying her life, and she was desperate to avoid her.Sarah's phone suddenly rang, shrill and loud in the silence of he
Reyes stood up from the couch, where he and Christine had been sitting, and walked over to the door. He opened it, expecting to see one of his staff members or perhaps a delivery person. But to his surprise, he saw his mother standing in the doorway.Reyes was shocked. He hadn't expected to see his mother at this time of night. Christine, sensing something was amiss, quickly sat up straight in her chair as Reyes' mother entered the room."Mom, what are you doing here?" Reyes asked, trying to compose himself. "What's going on?"His mother looked frazzled and worried. "Reyes, I'm sorry to show up unannounced like this, but the full moon is in two days. We need you, Reyes. The kingdom needs you, the pack needs you. Please, I beg of you, come back home."Reyes' mother was already crying and sniffing, her eyes red from tears. Reyes quickly sat down beside her, trying to comfort her."It's okay, Mom. You don't have to cry because of this. I've made up my mind, and I'm going to come back to
Kaido drove back to the villa, where everyone was waiting for him. Reyes, Christine, and Jeanette stood up as he parked the truck outside. They looked at him, and their eyes widened in shock. Kaido was covered in blood, his clothes stained with Duncan's blood.But Jeanette didn't seem to mind the blood. She ran to Kaido and hugged him tightly. "I'm sorry for everything you passed through," she said, her voice filled with emotion. "I'm so sorry for the pain Duncan made you go through. I'm very sorry."Kaido looked at her and smiled, his eyes filled with gratitude. He hugged her back, holding her tightly.Then, he walked over to his bike and started the engine. Jeanette hopped on the back of the bike, and they both drove off to Kaido's place.Reyes and Christine stood watching them go, and then they turned to each other. They got into Reyes' car, and he started the engine. They drove back to Reyes' mansion, the silence between them filled with unspoken thoughts and emotions.As they dro
