CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR | BASTARDNATHANCarson who has been observing everything moves towards me and does something I would never have anticipated. He punches me, right in the face. Carson, my nice and sweet cousin punched me, his Alpha, right on the fucking face. To say that I am shocked would be an understatement. Carson has never...ever laid his hands on me before, except for when we were being trained. No matter what I did or what I said to him, he just brushed everything off. Maybe it is because he is older than me, or maybe it is because he sees himself as the father figure in my life, but he always let me get away with the shit I do. Except for today of course. His punch hurt like a bitch.“What the fuck dude?" I groan. “I should be asking you what the fucking hell is fucking wrong with you." He shouts. Oh my, I have never heard Carson curse so much before. He must be really mad. “You fucking Lunatic, you almost fucking killed me." “Dude...Sonny...buddy, calm down." I try
CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE | MY FIRST EVERYTHING NATHANOn getting to my office, I notice a person sitting on my chair with their back facing me. I get angry, thinking it is Alena. How dumb is she? Doesn't she get the memo that I don't what her near me? Upon hearing the door slam shut, the person spins the chair so that it's facing me. The person I see sitting on my chair shocks me beyond words. I grin widely, happier than I have ever been in a while. “Hey, Missed me?" Sitting on the chair is the only girl that has ever managed to capture my heart. Clementina. I take long strides toward my chair, take her up by the hand and hug her. I am so surprised to see her here, I haven't seen her in a year. I breathe in the familiar scent of the girl I was once in love with and let out a contented sigh. Seeing her here magically took away all the stress I am feeling. I have missed her so fucking much. I caress her long blonde hair as she hugs me even tighter than I am hugging her. She obvio
CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX | Cementina ALENA I honestly don't know the crime I committed in the past life that made the moon goddess curse me with a mate like Nathan. He interrupted my beauty sleep just so he could play detective with his pack members. I don't know why he had to be so fucking dramatic. He already knew the mole, yet summoned everyone to play his silly games. If he truly wanted to know the accomplices of the betrayer, he could have just forced it out of the mole. But no, Nathan wouldn't do that...he would rather disturb the peace of mind of his subjects. Sadist, I tell you. Nathan is a fucking sadist. After leaving the hall, I head straight to the kitchen. I am determined to have my breakfast before I go back to sleep. It takes a while for my breakfast to be ready because the maids were also in the meeting. When I am done with my food, I sleepily make my way to my room to get some much-needed rest. If anyone dares to interrupt my precious sleep again, I swear to the grea
CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN | THE DICK IS MINEALENAI take my rightful place on my mate's lap and show the bitch who he rightfully belongs to.To show that Nathan is mine and only mine, I crash my lips with his. To my shock and pleasure, he doesn't push me away. Instead, he puts his hands around my waist and deepens the kiss. Nathan is truly full of surprises. I am yet to decide if I like that about him or if I don't. The world around me blurs as I kiss Nathan like my life depends on it. I kiss him like I have been starving and he is the only one that could satisfy me. I had a small radio that I used to listen to songs when I was still a rogue. Hailee Steinfeld was one of my favorite singers. As I kiss Nathan, It is then that I understand Hailee Steinfeld's song Starving. Butterflies are dancing in my belly and my head is spinning. My body is burning so much that I think I would faint from how hot it is, yet, I want more. Our moment was cut short by the pathetic little sound of Clemen
CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT | EASY DECISION NATHAN She wants me to fucking choose. It is fucking stupid to make me choose.How does she expect me to choose between her or Alena? I know I don't love Alena, and that I love Tina. But choosing between my best friend and mate is an entirely different thing.I keep my gaze on the ground not wanting to look into any of their eyes. Ironically, this situation reminds me of what happened two years ago. I had to choose who to let go. My mum or my baby sister. Of course, this is different, and none of them are on the brink of death. They can both just get along, but I know Clementina would rather die than try to get along with my mate. “I...I...I don't know." I whisper, running my hands through my hair in frustration. Why the fuck is she making me choose? “Come on Nathan, it can't be as hard as you are making it seem. Don't stress yourself, just follow your heart." Tina says and rubs my back in a comforting manner. It can't be that hard my fuck
CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE | HE IS MINE NATHAN Her reaction is so confusing. I don't understand why she is so fucking angry.Alena stands directly in front of my face and punches me in the stomach.Well, try to punch me, since I avoided it. She is just too slow and I am just too fast. She needs to go back to training.“You fucking asshole, why did you choose me over her." She inquires, still trying to punch me. What the hell is wrong with this chick? She complained about me not accepting her, and now that I accepted her, she's fucking angry. “I don't know what I said wrong." I confusedly tell her. “You don't know what you fucking did wrong? You are so fucking stupid, you dick." I stare at her not knowing what to say or what to do. Should I apologize for not knowing what I did wrong? Or should I apologize for being a dick? Females are really confusing. I am going to apologize for whatever I did, there is no wrong in apologizing right? “Alena, I am so sorry." I feign guilt and bow my
CHAPTER THIRTY | BITE ME ALPHA ALENA I did something I never thought I was capable of, even in a million years. I marked Nathan. Right there, in the middle of his office. I just marked him, without his permission.It was as if I was being controlled by a supernatural force when I did it. One moment, I was staring at Clementina and the next, I was marking Nathan. It wasn't until Clementina screamed and Nathan moaned in pleasure that I realized what I had done. Now, I am looking into Nathan's eyes, waiting for his reaction. I don't know if he would be furious that I marked him first. Usually, the male marks his mate first, but I was so desperate to prove that he is mine that I marked him. Now, whether he likes it or not, he has to mark me. Whether he likes it or not, we are stuck together for the rest of our lives.I patiently wait for his reaction. I am not sure if I should be scared right now or not. His expression is completely blank for a while. Finally, he snaps out o
CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE | WHAT I WANTALENA I look down at his stiff member in front of me. Tentatively, I wrap my hands around him, and Nathan lets out a tortured groan above me. Keeping my focus, I slowly move my hands up and down his impressive shaft. Nathan feels warm and thick In my hand, hardening even more under my touch, and I feel my wetness soak my panties. I lean forward and tilt my head up to him, connecting my eyes with his. To my surprise, Nathan is now watching me intensely, waiting for me to make my next move. His knuckles are white from holding his fist so tightly. I don't blink as I wrap my lips around the tip and sweep my tongue across him. He loses his cool. “Fuck, baby," he groans, releasing his hands from the tight fist and moving it to my hair. He doesn't apply pressure though. Nathan just runs his fingers through the tangled strands of my hair and across my skin, finding any means to touch me. His hands are desperate but surprisingly gentle. My lips stretch
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
