Martha"You can't deny it, Lucian. The proof is right in front of you. I can't believe you'd lie to me like this," I said, feeling a surge of anger and hurt.“Yeah, so what? You can obviously see that it’s Jasmine in the picture. It isn’t rocket science, do the math,” he tried to downplay it, once again making me look like the foolish one. But once he saw the stern, unwavering look on my face, he faltered a bit. "Just admit it, you're cheating with Jasmine. This is a big deal and you can't just brush it off," I insisted, wanting him to understand the impact of his actions."Okay, fine. Yes, I'm with Jasmine, but let's not blow it out of proportion, alright? It's just temporary, so relax," he said, trying to downplay the situation.But his casual attitude only fueled my anger. "Temporary? Relax? Are you serious? Your actions have consequences, not just for us, but for everyone involved! You're neglecting your responsibilities as a husband, father, and Alpha," I exclaimed, my frustratio
AlexMy heart filled with a mix of fury and concern as I witnessed the horrifying scene unfold before my eyes. The anger inside me threatened to consume me as I saw him forcefully grip Martha's delicate neck, depriving her of breath.Though I couldn't hear her cries, I could imagine the sound of her desperate pleas echoing in my mind. The sight of him slamming her against the wall intensified my fury, tempting me to intervene. I secured my doors, fastened my seatbelt tightly, hoping these precautions would somehow protect me from the escalating situation with Lucian.My blood boiled with righteous anger, unable to fathom what I was witnessing. How could any man, let alone an Alpha, lay a hand on his woman? It defied all logic and decency.Though I suspected their altercation stemmed from his infidelity, I had no interest in delving into the specifics. No justification could excuse his mistreatment of Martha. None at all.It briefly crossed my mind if Lucian's behavior was due to their
MarthaI woke up the next morning, my mind still fixated on that one name, Alex. I couldn't help but glance over at the window, hoping to catch a glimpse of him, but alas, he was nowhere to be found. Reality hit me, reminding me that my romantic fantasies were just that - fantasies.I couldn't expect him to spend the night in his car or whisk me away on a romantic adventure. It was a harsh reminder of my own longing for love and the disappointment that often followed. My past experiences had left me yearning for affection, turning me into a hopeless romantic, longing for something that seemed elusive.But hey, who knows what the future holds? Maybe one day, my delusional puppy-like optimism will lead me to a love that surpasses my wildest dreams. Until then, I'll keep hoping and maybe even enjoy the journey along the way.I flipped my phone over, hoping to see a text from Alex, but there was nothing. No call, no message. After that night he texted me, I had this lingering hope that
AlexThe music was blaring loud, the boom from the speakers was pounding, sending reverberations through my body. The strobing lights and the sudden change from multiple colors to darkness were enough to give one a headache. But I was used to it, barely paying any attention as I dutifully wiped the inside of a shot glass, before giving it to my coworker, Dylan, to pour out a shot for the customer in front of him.I’ve been working here for almost a month now and I had gotten the hang of things, but nothing could prepare me for the change that came in like a flood. For the first time in nearly a month,— and from what I had heard, months— Vinz Club was packed full to the brim. There were people dancing, drinking, humping and gyrating against each other, making out, throwing up in all corners of the club. It was rather shocking. The people that came here were usually depressed, trying to drink their sorrows away, so what was up with the emotion change? It didn’t make sense. A few n
MarthaThe lights were off in my room as I sat by the side of my bed, my eyes drooping ever so slightly the more I stared out of the window. I sat up straight once more, blinking away the sleep from my eyes, but that barely had no effect. If anything, it made me feel more drowsy than ever as I struggled to fight back my yawns. Tears sprung up to my eyes as I eventually yawned and the weight of fatigue started to creep up on me once again.I slapped myself lightly, willing to stay up to see Alex, despite my tiredness. I doubt that I would be able to use my energy to talk to him at length and at full potential, but it’s worth a shot, right? Instead of letting sleep overcome me, I decided to let my mind wander and keep me awake and it didn’t disappoint. I pictured a lot of naughty thoughts and positions between me and Alex in my head and soon enough, my body started heating up under the cool air. Usually, I stay away from thoughts like this, mainly because my morals didn’t allow me t
AlexI woke up with a painstakingly wicked headache that threatened to split my brain in half. I didn’t even drink, but the stress and frustration that accumulated inside of me was enough to cause me pain. My room was bright, and the sunlight that spewed in made me distinguish that it was mid-afternoon.I sat up, resting my aching head against the headboard behind me, the events of last night running through my mind like a film. After Vanessa’s attempt to bed me last night, even going as far as to strip down to her bare form, I had had enough and I was forced to knock her out cold. Just thinking about it made my blood boil, I hate having filthy hands on me, it makes me feel dirty.Early this morning, after last night’s incident, I had almost made the rash decision of giving in my resignation letter to Derek after everything and just quit bartending as a whole. It kinda sucked to know that despite how I felt, I couldn’t really leave my job, at least not yet. I drove away from her h
MarthaMy heart was pounding so fast, beating against my rib cage so much, I could hear each thump through my ears. The rush of blood that flowed through me was so sudden, it nearly left me lightheaded. He was pinning me down with his dark, lustful gaze again as if he didn’t realize that he was doing it. I had to hold back a shiver, averting my eyes from his sultry gaze and trying my best to calm myself internally. Immediately, I walked right past him, pretending like he hadn’t affected me and also to prevent myself from further embarrassment. Scurrying away like my legs were on fire, I walked to the farthest table by the end of the cafe. It wasn’t the signature booth we used to sit in, but it was close enough. I took a seat in front of the circular, rose-colored cafe table, trying to get my breathing and my heart rate back to normal, only for it to spike up even more when I saw Alex already walking towards my table. I prayed silently that he would choose some other seat, any oth
AlexI watched helplessly as Martha grabbed her bag and purse and started walking past me, without so much as a backward glance. My heart sank at that and I knew I had to act fast. So, I caught her hand, just right before she could leave and I said my piece. Thankfully, she didn’t seem mad or anything, neither did she comment on my inappropriate request, but the blush on her cheeks was an answer enough.Still, I couldn’t help but feel frustrated and irritated. I could only watch Martha walk away, I couldn’t even follow her out, due to the erection that I was sporting, that never died down since she arrived. After a few minutes of sitting in silence and watching the half empty cafe, my hard-on finally grew flaccid enough for me to order take out. Then, I left the café and drove straight to Vinz Club.I parked my car in the employee parking lot, before stepping into the empty club. Smooth jazz music played through the speakers and I found Dylan already behind the counter, wiping it
MarthaIt was like I was witnessing the most gruesome war I have ever seen in all my life. Even when we werewolves go out to hunt, even when we attack hunters who threaten our territory, it was never like this.The battlefield was bloody, smoke mixed with ashes with the putrid smell of blood filled the air and also my nose.Everywhere I looked, there was an unpleasant sight to see. I found comrades and enemies alike getting cut down and massacred with no mercy.It made my chest twist a little, but this fight was necessary. It was needed, if we wanted to get free from the clutches of both Alpha Fenrir and Lucian finally.“Don’t show the enemy any mercy! Fight and push your way through! For Nether Moon!” Alex shouted somewhere on the field and I had to look away as he plunged his hand through an unlucky man, ripping his heart out.“For Nether Moon!” They cried out in response and it seemed like that little boost was what they needed to build their confidence once more.I would say, I w
AlexAfter Star and Martha reconciled, we spent a day at Red Moon before coming back here, to Nether Moon.It was a very emotional moment for mother and daughter, as well as the people of Red Moon, but we couldn’t have stayed back there, without tackling the remaining issues still on ground.I put Geri in charge of supervision and he took the leadership role in place of Lucian since he was the perfect candidate to do so.Not only did he work under Lucian diligently, but he is very learned and informed about how Red Moon worked, more than I ever would, which was an added benefit.It also helped that he was well liked in the Pack, so I knew I made the right choice. Even Martha agreed with me on it.Right now, Martha and I were in the huge office of our Nether Moon mansion, going through the files and documents that Morgan had compiled earlier.“It’s not enough. All this evidence is not enough, Alpha Fenrir will still find a way to break through the case,” I groaned, tossing the papers i
MarthaAs Alex delivered the truth, there was pure and utter silence, one could even hear a pin drop. They all looked baffled and shocked by their Alpha’s evil deeds and even Star was in disbelief.“D-dad? Please say something. Tell them all their accusations aren’t true, please,” I heard her whisper and my heart completely shattered.The fact that she still had faith in Lucian, despite all the crumbs of disgusting things she herself has witnessed, but clinging on to the remaining hope she had left, was very…sad.Lucian gritted his teeth and stared down at the ground, but he didn’t say anything, confirming everyone else’s suspicions, if they had any.“There you have it,” Alex clapped drily. “This man has served you all for over eighteen years, doing all of these wicked deeds, for his selfish reasons!”This riled up the crowd as they began to yell and cry out expletives at Lucian, cursing him over and over again.“Kill him!”“We don’t need someone like him anymore!”“Off with his head!
AlexI found Lucian in his study, sifting through files with a frown on his face, oblivious to the attacks outside the house, like I had expected him to.“I knew you would be here,” I sneered at him, slowly walking into the study, revealing myself. He looked so startled to see me, it was laughable. I could see a bunch of emotions flicker through his face, but he settled on the one that was most familiar. Hate.“You,” he glowered. “What are you doing here? How did you bypass my security?”I snorted, opening the door to show the piles of men laying down on the cemented floor, unconscious. “These men?”He gritted his teeth, but he didn’t say anything.“Now, I’m sure that you know why I’m here. Surrender your Pack now, or otherwise, I will take it from you the hard way,” I simply told him, paving up and down the office.“And if I don’t?”I grinned. Oh, it would be so much fun to smash his face in without any more distractions.There was silence for a while, before a roar brought my atten
MarthaThe cool morning breeze attacked my skin like pins. I wanted nothing more than to go back home and curl into the king-sized bed, but this was it. Finally, the time for retaliation has come.Alex noticed my silence and intertwined his fingers with mine, squeezing my hand tightly. I managed a weak smile and stared down at the town in front of me.It was strange. The one place I thought to be my home, was the one keeping me restrained, was the one place where I couldn’t be who I wanted to be because I was afraid of the public view of me.Now that I’ve experienced a taste of freedom, a taste of peace and happiness, I’m ready to close that chapter of my life. Even if it means storming down and declaring war right at this moment.So, standing by the border of Red Moon Pack, with an army of over four hundred, I felt confident and more sure of myself than I’ve ever been in a while. I squeezed Alex’s hand back and stared deeply in his eyes.“I’m ready,” I simply told him and those two w
AlexAfter the news Kai came to drop, I made sure the training, as well as the defenses were high. There was barely any time for me or my men to rest, but it was needed. Lucian and Fenrir were threatening us, holding both Geri and Star hostage and using that to gain an advantage over us. I wasn’t going to take that lightly.“Argh! Gyah!” Grunts were heard from all angles on the training field. Instead of creating dummies to use as target practice, I made them all face each other, to improve their skills and abilities.It was quite stressful and frustrating at times since I had over four hundred men to supervise and train at the same time, but I managed in the best way I could.It also helped to have Savage and Kai helping as well, otherwise, I would have snapped and fucked them this up on several occasions.The training took a huge toll on both my body and mind. I was barely at home and the times when I was, I was worn out of my mind to give Martha my time.We found a way to make it
MarthaA couple of days passed after the conversation I had with Alex. We came to the decision that after the whole thing settles down, we’ll be able to buy the bookshop and turn it into a public library.But for now, we wait. And waiting was draining the soul out of me.Being pregnant again, to the love of my life, was one of the greatest things to happen to me. Just knowing that I was carrying my mate’s child, brings tears to my eyes every time. I'd only been able to dream of this all my life, but now I’m living in my fantasy world. Still, I couldn’t help but be mildly irritated by the way people around me treated me, especially Alex. Everyone was tiptoeing around me, treating me as if I were delicate and could shatter easily.I get it, their intentions were kind, but sometimes it felt overwhelming. I was just pregnant, not fragile.“Have you thought about buying the baby clothes yet? Your pup will pop out sooner than you expect,” I laid back in bed as Sara sat in front of me on th
AlexI looked up at the slowly rising sun, enjoying the cool breeze fanning against my skin like a gentle caress. I looked at my army of women and men alike, who were all standing at attention, waiting for what I would do.“To your positions!” I yelled out, splitting the silence.Without any hesitation, they all walked forward, standing in front of the positioned targets right in front of them that they would need for practice.“These are your enemies! I want to see how you’ll attack when you see them! Use all your might and force! As soon as you bring your target down to the ground, proceed to the next obstacle,” I explained.Grunts and cries filled the air as they attacked the dummy target in front of them with all their might. As easy as it sounded, I made sure that it was nearly impossible for them to take it down.I had discussed with a few of the most skilled craftsmen to create the dummies, so that I’ll be able to test their endurance.All these rogues, or should I call them sol
MarthaMatthew came back to the dining room alone, looking around. “Where’s Alpha Alex?” He asked.I shrugged and looked around as well. He left the room without telling me where he was going, so I didn’t know where he could possibly be in this big house.“I don’t know, he didn’t say,” I told him. “But I’m sure that he’ll be back soon,” “Okay. Can you tell him to come and meet me when he’s back. I’ll be in my study. It’s in the hallway to the right, on the third door,” He informed me, walking briskly.I nodded. After a while, I went to the living room and found Sara sitting on one of the couches dejectedly. I wondered why. I barely saw her at the coronation, so why was she in this mood?“Hey,” I greeted, sitting beside her on the cream colored couch.“Hey,” she responded without feeling. “What’s wrong? I didn’t even see you during the coronation and at the party. Did something happen?” I asked worriedly. It was odd seeing her this quiet.“More like, what didn’t happen,” she muttere
