Glenn’s POV
“Mateo, do you agree to what I have said?” I heard my father’s loud voice as I hurriedly rushed to the main hall.“Yes, Alpha. I shall get married to Luciana as planned.” My jaw dropped as soon as I heard his statement. I stood at the entrance, unable to walk forward with my eyes staring at them.“Thank you so much dad, for granting us this marriage.” Luciana said with a voice filled with excitement.“Father!” I cried out in agony, approaching them as they turned to me with astonishment on their faces.Luciana hid behind Mateo while he faced the ground, my father quickly jumped from his throne as he was excited to see me.“Glenn! You are back.” He pulled me into a warm embrace, even though I was comfortable, I succumbed because inwardly I missed my father.“How are you?” He pulled away from me with his warm hands on my face.“Dad, is this the time for that?” I sniffled. “Did I hear you correctly? You of all people know that I love Mateo so much and we are destined to be together. Can you not do this to me?” I cried out bitterly and he sighed heavily.“Glenn darling, how about you let him be with your junior sister? I have good men for…” My father didn’t finish his statement when Luciana interrupted him.“Thanks father.” She grabbed Mateo’s arm and left the hall with him, I wasn’t able to stop him because he intentionally ignored me and acted as though we had nothing in common.“Father…” I called out to him as he walked back to his seat.“Glenn, I know you went through tribulation for Mateo but now, things have changed and the current solution to get him married to Luciana. I have a better partner for you.” My father said and I sighed, shaking my head.“Impossible.” I retorted.“Do you even know the pain, humiliation and mistreatment I passed through in other to make sure we are compatible? Father, everyone know what I sacrificed in other to give Mateo and I a chance and in the end, you want to give him away to someone?” I cried out in annoyance, staring at him intently.“You just said it yourself, you both are not compatible! It’s time to stop trying!” He yelled at my face in anger, showing me his true self and I smirked.“Seriously? Then, what was the tribulation for? Waste of my five years or what?” I questioned him in contempt.I couldn’t persaude my father so I decided to sleep it off and hope that he would have a change of heart. I also wasn’t able to visit Mateo, because his mansion was heavily guarded.The following morning, my arrival had already been told to the pack members so everyone was up to welcome me. I felt so happy to be back home. The elders were excited for my return as I was one of the best Beta when it come to fighting and making decisions.I walked over to my father, inwardly hoping he had finally come to an agreement towards my plea. Soon, Mateo stepped in with Luciana, my heart boiled.“Isn’t he Beta Glenn’s mate?”“She suffered tribulation just to make sure they are mates.” The pack members started murmuring between themselves.“My lord, whats your decision towards this? Since Glenn is back, it’s time to approve her marriage with Mateo.” One of the elders said vividly and my father sighed. Walking forward, everyone was anxious.“Glenn is not getting married to Mateo.” My father said confidently and I faced him.“Father.” I called him out.“We are all aware that Glenn and Mateo are not compatible. No matter the amount of trials she go through, they can never be together. It is better to let Mateo move on rather than waiting for her, look, he is compatible with Luciana so we have to let them be.” I couldn’t believe that such statement was coming from my father, my eyes became wet and my feeling erupt.“Father, that wasn’t the initial agreement! Besides, the moon goddesss already gave us a second chance.” I said seriously, flashing my hand at his face. On it was a star mark, which was a sign that Mateo and I have been approved. I was sure that Mateo also had a similar mark.“My lord, Glenn has suffered o much. We can’t afford to offend her.” A pack member said, defending me.“My lord, please give them a chance. Lady Glenn has suffered so much, it is ideal to approve their relationship.” Another pack member protested.Everyone was speaking for me and urging my father to make a right decision since it was unfair for someone that spent years, fighting for the man she loved.“My decision is final. Mateo is getting married to Luciana.” My father said vividly, stopping everyone from completing their statement.I approached him with fire burning in my eyes. I can be a very good daughter but I was one kind of person that hate it when I was being used or trampled on. My father knew me more than anyone, when I wanted something, I made sure I get it.“Today, I’m taking Mateo back and no one can stop me.” I said seriously, gritting my teeth as our gaze locked. He swallowed hard.“And if I refuse?” He questioned me anxiously.“I will bring this entire pack underneath and you know what I mean.” I said curtly, ignoring the fact that he was my father.“Before killing ourselves, we should at least know if this is also what Mateo wants. Right?” Suddenly, Luciana’s voice came up.Everyone faced her and it dawned on me that I forgot the real deal. Why didn’t I think of such an idea? He loved me and I knew my father was forcing him to marry Luciana.“True! True!” Everyone agreed and my father turned to him.“Mateo, do you wish to be with Glenn?” My father exhaled sharply after his statement. I focused on Mateo with curiosity lancing in my eyes.Glenn’s POVMateo informed the entire pack that he would give them his word in the right time since he wasn’t ready to say anything. He couldn’t even look at me in the eyes. I began to wonder if he was the same person that I fell in love with or was I so stupid to have accepted the tribulation?“Maybe I would have allowed him to go in my stead.” I bit my lips as I thought inwardly.My peace was interrupted when Luciana stormed into my bedroom chamber after knocking. I gave her a long look before looking away.“What are you doing here?” I tried to remain calm.“I want to talk to you, sister.” She said politely and I faced her, wondering what she had to say.Luciana and I were born by different mother but that didn’t make us hate ourselves because our mothers died the same day. Luciana and I have been close all trough the years while growing up together and she was part of the witness who could vouch that I really loved Mateo and we were destined. The swiftness at which she changed kept
Glenn’s POVBefore my eyes, Mateo and Luciana was getting married. My dear father gave them his blessing without having a second thought how I would feel.I locked myself in my bedroom chamber and restricted my maid to bring any news about them to me. It was unfair and painful.There was no different between this life and the tribulation I have passed through. Inwardly, I vouched to make Mateo and Luciana pay for what they have caused me.The humiliation of rejecting me in public and making me become a laughingstock in the entire pack, they won’t go scout free.They were living freely, forgetting about the curse that was embedded in the tribulation.No one asked how I was coping with it, they all pretended as though they never knew something like that existed.I sat by the window, staring at the bright sky and the birds chirping and flying freely. To me, the sky wasn’t warming anymore, it was dark and unpleasant. I attempted to return back to bed when the gossip from some servants dis
SANTIAGOThe sky was dark, It breezed through the room slowly as my phone flashed and buzzed where it was.Tired, I looked up at who the caller was, it turned out that it was my Assistant —Evelyn, calling to check on me."You should have a rest, you know, you've been working for so long." She said from the other end.I rolled my eyes. "You know how important this … ""Still you should have a life outside the laboratory. " She interrupted.I sighed deeply."Thanks for caring anyways, but I really have to do this.""Fine then I was just checking up on you. " Evelyn said just as I dropped the callHer call made me realize how far the day had gone, I soon decided that I had enough for the day and decided it was time to go home.Walking out of the laboratory, I couldn't help but imagine how the past weeks had been.At the moment I was at this point in my life where I had to start giving meaning to every little thing that happened to me, starting from each breath that escaped through my n
GLENNI could literally feel my heart ricocheting at the moment and the truth was there wasn't much I could do about it at least not at this moment.As if my situation wasn't terrible enough, nature decided to be hostile toward me as it rained heavily drenching me up.I was wet and this time I wasn't speaking in literal terms, at that moment the memory took me back to the previous day.At the moment I was still finding it out to believe that my father had banished me from the pack.The feeling invoked something in me. I was trying all I could to get rid of it. At that moment though I tried as much as I could not to think about the situation, it kept coming back.As it seemed, the best for me would be to forge my own path even if the future was filled with uncertainty.At long last I found a shade to stay away from the rain, one part of me wanted to remain there for as long as I could— a part of me wanted to stay under the rain and let it drench my soul.A deep sigh escaped me in thou
GLENNThe thought of death had to come with the most bitter feeling ever and at the moment I knew that without a doubt.Shrouded by dark tall trees like walls molded on each side of where I was, it turned out the wood would appear fit for whatever was in my mind at the moment.As It turned out just one thought went through my mind and it was a perfect ending to this unfaithful life I was in.I felt broken and betrayed, my mind portraying things that made your head hurt while trying to figure out their purpose—Still dark thoughts filled my mind unwilling to depart, it looked like the universe had other plans.In as much as it turned out not even the rain could wash the dark thoughts away from my heart and mind, at the moment I tried my very best to numb the feeling I was having, as my heart seeked peace amidst its turmoil.Still It burned.All by myself, my mind turned to the fact that I was in need of a place for the night.Looking around one more time, I realized this would be th
CHAPTER 9SANTIAGOHave you ever been so tired and felt as though life was slipping away from your grasp at this moment, I felt exactly that was.At that moment all I wanted to do was rest after a long day at work, immediately I dropped the call, I stood at a spot for a while not doing anything.When I finally did it was a forceful groan that came out of my lungs in desperation—"Alright boy, let's get this done." I muttered to no one in particular.Getting a call in the middle of rest was always frustrating, and always pisses me, especially at times like this after working my ass off .I had intentionally made my assistant fix most of my experiments for today.so it could come up earlier because I didn't want to ignore certain things—like a goodnight sleep.Turned out that was gone at the moment as well.At this time, I was hoping that I wouldn't have to do too much when I eventually get back to the facility.Though from the way sh had spoken it was certain there would be alot for me
CHAPTER 10GLENNSomething must have woken me up from what looked to be the shortest sleep I had in a while. I could tell what it was as I sat up suddenly looking around when the click from the door came again.At this moment I knew that it wasn't all in my head, it was reality there was someone behind the door.I glanced around to take in my surroundings, the room was dark making it harder for me but at the moment my nerves were very much heightened to move if I could.I had merely wanted to sleep and I had done that without totally adjusting to the surroundings and it turned out that could as well be a big mistake.Though still raced in my mind, at that moment the last thing I wanted was someone walking in on me where it was certain I wouldn't be wanted .Just about the same time that I was about to rest my head again, the door squeaked which made me alert and turn to the door as fast as I could.“Who was there?” I thought to myself as I sniffed around. The scent of humans fille
CHAPTER 11SANTIAGO"Did you hear that?" I asked Martha.I ran my fingers through my neatly parted hair as I stared straight ahead of me then slowly at her, both of our hearts racing, at the moment it wasn't just the feeling anymore, this time it felt real— so surreal.Time was far spent yet I was unable to kick start what I was supposed to do before all of this was happening, the possibility of someone trying to pull a prank flashes across my mind but I was quick to put it away from my mind.My mind was disorganized and I needed time to pull myself together else whatever I set out to do, the result would be negative."What is that noise?" Martha asked, scared herself.With each passing minute, I found it more difficult to concentrate and so I tossed my pen on the table and then reclined on my chair before getting up.I really didn't know what I was doing , at this moment it felt certain that another time when I heard a sharp noise which had jolted me and scared the hell out of me—
