CHAPTER FIFTEEN | TRAINING MY FOOTALENAOne weekIt has been an entire fucking week since I have last seen and spoken to Nathan. We never exactly talked much from the beginning, but I thought everything would be different after the intimate moment we shared last week.I feel like everything just worsened.I guess he is one of those guys that ignore a girl after having sex with them. Thank goodness we didn't go further that day. I would have been feeling that he used me for sex, and would become depressed. The mate bond is making me fret and stress over every little thing. I get irritated and ticked off over little things I would normally ignore.I guess the belief that one can not live without his or her mate after meeting them is true. I mean look at me, it has just been a week without Nathan and I already feel like I can't stay another second away from him.Luckily for me, Beta Caleb is in charge of patrol, and he has been going easy on me.Even though the dude scares me, I have be
CHAPTER SIXTEEN | SHAME AND EMBARRASSMENTALENAThe next morning, I wake up feeling more at ease than ever before. I unwrap myself from the blanket I have cocooned myself In and jump off the bed. I lazily stretch my body, trying to shake off grogginess.A lopsided smile tugs on my lips and energy thrums from within me. Today is definitely one of my good days.I make my way to the kitchen after having my bath and dressing up. I need to eat before heading to the pack borders for patrol.My food was usually brought to my room for me before, but Nathan put an end to that as another part of my punishment.On getting to the kitchen, I take notice of the fact that I am the only other person awake apart from the cooks.The cooks snicker the moment I step into the kitchen. My face furrows at the reaction.I hope there is nothing on my face.Maybe they heard of my pathetic attempt in combat yesterday. They must think I am a weakling. I don't care that they see me as a weakling though, all that m
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN | THE CONFRONTATIONALENAAt first, Lucinda disagreed to take me to Nathan's room, but when I kept begging her, she begrudgingly takes me there.The first thing I notice upon entering his room is how almost everything is black. His room walls are painted black, and the sheets, curtains, and almost everything in his room are black in colour.His room is as dark as his personality.Something sparkly catches my eyes on his bed. I take a seat on his bed and take out the pink teddy bear that was previously covered by his duvet.Awnnnnnnnn, the big bad Alpha still sleeps with a pink teddy bear. If I have a phone, I would take a picture of it.Goddess! His bed is so soft and comfy. Once he marks me, I will move into his room, whether he likes it or not.My wolf has been urging me to snoop around his room, but I won't. I learned my lesson the last time and I won't be snooping around anything anytime soon.I am planning to wait for Nathan to be comfortable enough with me and t
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN | FAILED SEDUCTIONALENAIt is a bright and beautiful morning, and the perfect day to start my plan of making Nathan fall madly in love with me.I am already in love with him and he has no choice but to fall in love with me too.I get up from my bed earlier than I would have done on a regular day. I want to have enough time to dress up prettily before putting my plan in place.I won't be joining the Warriors on patrol today if everything works out just the way I planned it.I have been joining the Warriors to watch over the pack borders for more than a week now. Since my mate doesn't think that I have learned my lesson, I don't have a choice but to continue with the punishment. The only time I am allowed to stop is when Nathan thinks I have learned my lesson.With how breathtakingly gorgeous I am today, he would have no choice but to put an end to the silly punishment he gave me.After taking a long and very satisfying bath, I wrap myself in a towel and move to my clos
CHAPTER NINETEEN | TWENTY QUESTIONSALENAWho the hell invented the female torture weapon known as heels?Wearing heels and a dress must be the worse fucking decision I have ever made in my life.The uneven ground of the pack border became my nemesis the moment I arrived in heels.I found it kind of easy to move around in the dress though. The only issue is the stares the sparkly dress is attracting. Men, women, pups, and even animals stared at me. Their stares are making me very uncomfortable and stiff.It hasn't even been five minutes of me standing on the uneven ground of the pack border, and my legs want to give up on me.I just wish I could go back into my room and cry about the pain in my legs, along with my broken heart.I have been whining for thirty minutes straight and Beta Caleb has heard enough of it. I am one hundred percent sure that he won't hesitate to strangle me to death if he has a chance.As if it isn't already bad enough, my shoes decide that I have not been tortur
CHAPTER TWENTY | UNEXPECTED GUESTNATHANGreat.Just fucking great.Another fucking interruption from my work.As if Alena isn't annoying enough, Carson also decides to join the party.“Hello brother. Do you miss me?" He says with a smirk.“No," I reply immediately.“Awnnnn. I'm sure you do. Why don't you come give big brother Sonny a big fat hug?I stare at him in boredom, not planning on moving an inch.“Excuse me, you have a brother?" Alena asks with wide eyes.Cute. No, not cute.“No, I don't."She doesn't hear my words and starts rambling.“Oh, my goddess! You have a brother, and you didn't think it was important to fucking tell me. Do you know how bad that makes me look? Only heavens know how many other brothers you have that I don't know anything about...“I said I DO NOT have a brother." I interrupt her ramble, emphasizing my words so that she doesn't miss it this time.“He isn't my brother, he is my cousin," I say with a sigh.Carson, who has been silently watching our convers
CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE | HE IS CUTEALENAWe are all seated in the pack hall. Not the hall I stupidly challenged Lucinda at, it's a hall inside the pack house. It is not as big as the general hall, but it will do. Nathan has some urgent news to share with his pack, that's why he has summoned us all to the hall.I don't understand what could be so important that Nathan had to wake us up this early. The moment we sat down, I couldn't help but admire the man that was sitting a few sits away from me. “He is cute," I announce as I stare at Nathan's cousin. I don't understand why the moon goddess didn't mate me with Carson. He is Cute, he has manners, he is nice and most importantly, he didn't kill my parents. He is perfect. Too bad I wasn't mated with him. Lucinda traces my gaze to Carson.“Who, Carson?" “Yeah," I replied staring at him dreamily. “Ewwwww, that is my fucking cousin, and you are mated to my other cousin." “Carson's your cousin?" I confusingly inquire. “Well yes, Nathan is
CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO | JEALOUSY ALENA“What the hell is going on here?" My mate angrily asks. “We were having a discussion before you interrupted," I reply sassily. “You were having a discussion? I didn't know that having a discussion involved him shoving his mouth down your fucking throat." What the fuck. We weren't even close enough for me to feel his breath on my face, not to talk of kissing. Seeing that Nathan was practically shaking in anger, Carson decided to pacify him. “Oh come on Nathan, I wasn't kissing her, I was just talking to her, honest." Before I could blink, Nathan was already slamming Carson into the wall and strangling his neck. “You are nothing but a sly fox Carson, you advised me to give Alena a chance but still go ahead and try to fucking seduce her." At this point, Nathan's eyes have changed from the beautiful green I love to black. His look is so scary that I took a couple of steps back. Even though he is looking like he would murder someone, he still som
CHAPTER NINETY | MISSING PIECE ALENAI am so glad that everything is finally over. At one point, I was scared Caleb King would kill Lila before we can stop him. We knew we would defeat him and his followers, but the fear of him hurting Lila and the rest of the pack members held us back. Even though Caleb King is dead, I still feel uneasy. I feel like there's a missing piece in the puzzle. Everything went so smoothly and easily...too smooth if you ask me. It was as if Caleb was willing to let us kill him. It shouldn't have been so easy to kill him. I asked Nathan to give me some time to think because one thing kept bothering my mind. Ben said someone already bought me before I was born, and the same person also bought Lila. Has the person given up on having us? The words Caleb King said to me while I was brutally stabbing him kept replaying in my head. He said, “Your enemies are always closer than you think." This means that whoever was helping him is a member of this pack.
CHAPTER EIGHTY-NINE | HAPPY ENDING? NATHANWe all watch Carson try to stab Caleb King with a needle I'm guessing is already drugged. Somehow, Caleb turns at the right time and holds Carson's hands. Shit, we are all so screwed. Carson quickly recovers from his shock and hits Caleb King in the face. “We need to help him," Lucinda screams, already running towards them. To our surprise, most of the rogues don't try to stop us they pave the way for us. I see we all have a common enemy. Caleb King shoots Carson in the leg. Fuck! We didn't even know the psycho has a fucking gun. He points the gun towards us, swinging it left and right. “Don't come closer. Don't you dare, it takes me nothing to kill every one of you within seconds." “Where are my guards? Does fucking traitors. I should have sold you bastards." He screams at the rogues who cower in fear. I see what is going on. They are not willingly working for him, he has something on them. He roughly picks Lila's body off the
CHAPTER EIGHTY-EIGHT | THE PLAN ALENAWe have been waiting for the guys to come back for almost five minutes. They were never supposed to take this long. I don't know why they were not back yet. If I hadn't destroyed my and Nathan's mate's bond with humans drug, then I would have been able to tell if he is in danger or not. “Don't you guys think the boys are taking too long? They were only supposed to check if Fallssy is alive and find information from him." I ask Queen Tess and Lucinda. “They will be fine, Alena. Just calm down." Lucinda assures me. “But...what if, I don't know. What if this is a sort of setup or something?" “They will be fine princess." Queen Tess says. I nod my head at her, not knowing how to respond. I have been feeling weird around them since the moment I discovered that they are my real parents. I just can't seem to stomach the fact that I have been living a life built on lies. All my life, I thought I was Alena King, and then suddenly, I am told I am s
CHAPTER EIGHTY-SEVEN | TRACKED NATHAN“Have you found anything yet?" I desperately ask Carson. “If I had found something, I would have fucking told you. Get the fuck off my back you piece of shit." Carson hisses. I don't blame him for talking to me that way, neither am I angry. If I were in his situation, I would have probably killed someone in frustration. We have been trying to track the bracelet down since yesterday afternoon. We haven't found anything. Since Carson is the only one that can handle a computer well enough to track something down, he had to stay up all night, while the others went to sleep. Of course, I stayed up with him...for about one hour. I got tired of watching him type meaningless shit and stare at kids' doodles, so I fell asleep. Carson was not one bit impressed with our attitude. He has been cranky and giving us an attitude since we joined him today. It isn't helping that I keep asking him if he has found anything every ten minutes. “I don't get this
CHAPTER EIGHTY-SIX | FURIOUS...SAD...VIOLATED NATHAN Alena was also a fucking victim. Only the goddess knows what she went through in Caleb King's hands. This news can break her. “How am I fucking sure that everything you just told me is the fucking truth?" I whisper. “Have I ever lied to you? What would I or the leaders of the Black Shadow Pack gain from deceiving you? We both know that the resemblance between Alena and Queen Tess can't be ignored." I nod my head and silently leave the office, not saying anything. The only thing I am able to think about is the pain Alena must have gone through. She was never the bad guy, Caleb King was only using her, right from the fucking beginning. It is then that I remember Alena telling me something about her mother teaching her how to please men. Was that why they taught her that? So that she would be sold when she gets older. I am headed back to the pack hall to call my mate when I run into my mate. “Hey. The party was getting bori
CHAPTER EIGHTY-FIVE | THE TRUTH ABOUT ALENA KINGNATHAN “Leave," I order them. “Please, Nathan, hear us out." Queen Tess begs, her eyes watering. “You want me to hear you out? After how many years? You accused my father of kidnapping a daughter that never existed in the first place. Then, you helped Caleb King in kidnapping my mother and younger sister, raided our pack, and cut all fucking ties with us. You want me to hear you out, did you listen to what my dad had to say?" I whisper-yell. “We never helped Caleb King in kidnapping your Mother or Sister." Alpha Kade frowns. “You said you will do something we all will regret if we don't release your daughter in three days. Three days later, my mother and sister were nowhere to be found. That could not have been a fucking coincidence." Ben gives me a look that screams, ‘Stop acting like a petty bitch and let them talk.' In response, I give him the middle finger. “Look, I swear on the throne of the moon goddess, I had nothing to d
CHAPTER EIGHTY-FOUR | THE BLACK SHADOW PACKNATHANI invited some people over, there is someone you have to meet. “You said you just found out who my mate really is. I am not interested in meeting anyone, I just want to know the information you got about my mate." I respond. “It will make a lot more sense when they get here, just calm down. Alena is not who we think she is." Ben replies, slowly walking away from us. Oh, my goddess! What the fuck has Alena done again? If she killed someone else or has been lying to me about cutting off all the ties she has with her father, then I will have no choice but to kill her. I just hope it isn't what I'm thinking. Nervously, I wait for Ben and the so-called guests, while Carson goes off to get properly dressed. Apparently, the new guests might come with his mate or even be his mate, he wants her to fall in love with him immediately. After waiting for half an hour, I become tired and bored. Seems like the guests are running fucking late.
CHAPTER EIGHTY-THREE | THE RETURN OF DELTA BENJAMINNATHAN“I can't believe you made them kick us out." Alena hisses, hitting me on the shoulder. “It was fucking worth it. The look of embarrassment on your face made me ignore the anger of the Doctor disrespecting his Alpha." I laugh. Alena looks around, and unintentionally starts fidgeting. The stares she is getting are making her uncomfortable. After our...umm...adventure in the hospital room yesterday, the Doctor kicked us out of the hospital and promised not to let us in unless it is very urgent. I would have been furious if not for Alena's reaction. We went back to our room after and continued with no interruptions. We spent the rest of the day in there and didn't come out till the evening of the next day. I think I have forgiven her, but my subjects hate her. I got a call from Gamma Ralph first thing this morning, informing me of Lucinda and Delta Benjamin's arrival. We decided to hold a welcome-back party for the Delta
CHAPTER EIGHTY-TWO | POURING EVERYTHING OUTALENAMy pulse hammers against my skin as Nathan moves to the door and closes it while staring at me with his piercing eyes. “Tell me, babe, how do you feel after everything you have done?" He inquires. I know my answer should be that I feel guilty and horrible, but the only thing I am feeling right now is extremely turned on. “I asked you a fucking question." Fuck! If I thought I was wet before, I am definitely drenched now. I don't think the panties I'm wearing would ever dry after this. “I...I...don't fucking know." I barely manage to get my words out. Nathan scoffs and shakes his head, walking closer to me. Nervously and excitedly, I get off the hospital bed, standing a few steps away from him. “You have been helping your dad right? Do you know how many werewolves lost their family members for something they know nothing about? Do you know how many he and she wolves lost their mate? All because of being a daddy girl?" He mocks ag
