"You can't hide anything from me, you know," his mother states. "I'm your mother, and I can see that you feel something for her, something you've never felt for anyone else."Alice leaves without a word, his mother's observations weighing heavily on his mind."I may have made a mistake by involving that girl. Perhaps she doesn't deserve to be protected by someone like him. If fate brings them together, I'll leave it to destiny to decide. It's hard to coexist with Alice," His mother sighs, thinking.In his office, Alice's anger intensifies as he begins hurling objects around. His previously injured hand, tended by Alisha, starts bleeding once more.Sitting on the office floor, Alice contemplates his feelings. "I want her. I want her in my life. That foolish girl has made me fall for her."He questions himself, "Do I love her? No, Alice, what's happening to you? Why have you fallen for someone so half-minded?"Closing his eyes, he reflects, "It's only been three hours since she left, bu
On another side .Alisha walked back to her orphanage, her steps heavy with the weight of the night's events. After a 30-minute walk, she arrived at the familiar gates.Mary, the caretaker, rushed to Alisha, enveloping her in a warm embrace. "Where were you all night, Alisha? You have no idea how worried I was."Alisha held Mary tightly, tears welling in her eyes. She couldn't find words to explain the turmoil inside her.Mary gently led Alisha to the sofa, where she lay down with her head on Mary's lap. Mary tenderly stroked her cheeks, urging her to share what had happened.Alisha recounted the entire ordeal, leaving Mary in disbelief. "He killed Lucky?" "Who ?"Mary gasped in shock."A guy whose house I was in the whole night ", Alisha while crying explained the whole situation.Alisha continued to cry, and Mary comforted her. "Don't worry, dear. God will make him pay for his sins. You need not fear.""Mother, he killed Lucky, and I saw it happen, "Alisha whispered.Mary reassured h
In the morning, as the sun gently peeked through the curtains, Alice stirred from his slumber. His eyes fluttered open, and he immediately noticed the wounded hand resting by his side. A pang of pain shot through his injured hand, but he found solace in the thought that soon his angel would be by his side, soothing not only his physical pain but also the ache in his heart."Mine," he whispered softly, his voice filled with longing. "Mine to ruin, mine to soothe, just mine to do whatever I desire." With these words, he rose from his bed and began his morning routine.Making his way to the dining table, Alice took a seat, his mother already seated across from him. She looked at him with concern in her eyes and spoke gently, "Alice, my dear, let that poor soul be. She is not meant for you and your cruel world."A surge of anger welled up within Alice, causing his eyes to turn red. He retorted fiercely, "Mom, she is meant for me, and even if she isn't, I will make her mine forever, no matt
As Alice reached the beach he got down from his car and he noticed Alisha surrounded by children, hugging and comforting her. Alice's anger flared up at the sight. "How dare they touch her? How can these children have the audacity to be close to her?" he thought, his possessiveness intensifying.Alisha who was still crying, her knees injured from the fall. Alice's anger grew even stronger seeing her. "How can she be so careless? She is mine to protect, she has no right to hurt herself like this. I need to do something about her clumsiness," he thought, his frustration mounting.Alice approached the group of children and Alisha, his voice filled with authority. "Move," he commanded, causing everyone to turn their attention towards him. Alisha's eyes widened in shock at the sight of him."You murderer, why are you here? You killed my Lucky. What do you want now?" Alisha exclaimed, her voice filled with anger and pain.Alice's anger flared up even more at the mention of "lucky." With a sm
The car came to a halt in front of a magnificent mansion. Alice stepped out of the vehicle and swiftly made his way to Alisha's side, lifting her up in a tender, bridal embrace. Alisha, still shaken by the events that had transpired in the car and the harshness of Alice's words, make her remain silent, not daring to utter a word.Alice carried Alisha into the grand mansion, where the sight of him carrying her like a princess left the servants in awe and disbelief. Without saying a word, Alice proceeded to his room, gently placing Alisha on the bed. He retrieved a first aid kit from the cupboard and sat down beside her."Give me your leg," Alice said softly, "I'm going to dress your knees."Alisha hesitated, replying, "No, I don't want you to."Upon hearing her response, anger welled up within Alice, but he firmly took hold of Alisha's leg and began dressing her injured knee. Once he finished, he spoke to her in a menacing tone, "Never think of defying me, angel. If I can tend to your i
"Come in," The lady doctor entered the room. Alice, in an angry tone, said to her, "Why are you late? Hurry up and check." The doctor replied, "Yes," and requested, "Please leave, sir. I need to examine her thoroughly." "No! Check in front of me," Alice retorted.The lady doctor was taken aback by the possessiveness in his eyes and words. Reluctantly, she began the examination in front of Alice, who watched her every move, fearing any harm that might come to Alisha.After the examination, the doctor informed Alice, "Sir, Miss Alisha had an asthma attack due to stress and other factors. She also has marks on her cheeks." Alice recalled the incident when he had kissed her and then scared her . Shaking off his thoughts, he coldly instructed the doctor, "Just prescribe the necessary medications and leave." The doctor, feeling intimidated, quickly wrote the prescription and provided him with the details before leaving.Alice called a servant and ordered him to bring all the prescribed
Alice carried Alisha outside his room, radiating a dominating aura .Alisha, however, felt a sense of unease due to Alice's behaviour. She didn't want to be the cause of anyone's harm. The sight of Alice holding her, as he despised touching girls, left the servants in shock. It was the first time they had seen Alice show any affection towards someone."What are you all staring at? Dinner is ready," Alice noticed their astonishment and bellowed.The servants nodded nervously and quickly left the room, driven by fear.Alice sat down on his chair, gently placing Alisha on his lap, noticing her trembling from his earlier outburst, "Angel, there's no need to be afraid. As long as you behave as I desire, I won't harm you. Just don't make me angry, and everything will be fine." Alisha remained silent, not responding to his words, scared for her life.Alice slipped his hand under Alisha's T-shirt and forcefully pinched her thigh. Alisha let out a slight cry and pleaded, "It hurts, please st
Alisha glanced at the scattered glasses, and tears welled up in her eyes as she walked over them. When a piece of glass pierced her foot, she let out a scream, "Ah! Ah!"Alice watched as blood oozed from Alisha's wounded feet. Alisha's mother, overwhelmed with guilt for not helping her, observed the pain Alisha was in.Alisha stepped on more glass pieces, causing her to cry out in pain. Alice rushed to her side, picked her up, and gently placed her on his lap. He urgently called out, "Quick, bring the first aid kit!"A servant promptly arrived with the kit, and after administering first aid, left the room. Alisha sobbed like a baby, her cheeks flushed and her eyes swollen from crying.Alice carefully placed her to a nearby chair and knelt down to clean and dress her wounds. Alisha winced in pain as the medicine stung her feet.Once Alice finished dressing both of her feet, he placed her back on his lap. Alisha rested her head on his chest, continuing to cry. Alice comforted her by ge
"Did you talk with Aunty Daisy?"Alice stopped what he was doing as soon as she mentioned his mother's name. How could he forget about this whole thing?He had sent his driver away that day and had been here for quite some time, which nobody knew about. His mom would have been stressed.Because of his anger, he hadn't talked to his mom, thinking she had faked her health so Alisha could have more time for her escape plan. Even though he knew it wasn't his mother's mistake—he was the one at fault—he had clearly forced the marriage on Alisha, and if he thought about it now, it wasn't right.Still, it seemed like the best option if he didn't want to let her slip. Now it was impossible for her to slip away, as he was her mate. Before, it wasn't like that, so he had been scared: what if she left? And that's exactly what happened. Alisha left him stranded on their wedding day, confirming his doubts.Now, thinking about this whole thing, his mother would have been so stressed. He had been day
"I think you should control your anger; sometimes you just overreact, as you did today," Alisha suggested, drying her hair. She had taken a bath after the whole training, and it felt way better for her sore body."That's because it's you who thinks it. Better if you stop overthinking. Jackson talked to you with such disrespect; there's no way I'm going to take it easily. Nothing is overreacting when it comes to you," Alice walked toward her and took the towel from her hands.Alisha looked at him in shock. "What are you doing? My hair is still wet," giving him side-eyes, she put her hand forward, indicating she wanted the towel back, her wet hair dripping on the top she wore."I never knew you were this assertive, but I like it now. Tell me, what will you do if I don't give in?" Alice chuckled, wanting to know what she'd do.He loves seeing her like this; it's more fun when she doesn't behave cautiously with him. Not to deny, when she crosses limits, he doesn't quite like it, but in a
"Run faster! What are you both doing?" Jackson growled loudly as he matched Alisha and Alice's running pace, jolting them back due to his sudden appearance out of nowhere."What are you both doing? Why are you running like you're jogging? Even at my old age, I can easily catch up with you," Jackson sounded pissed.Alisha and Alice both stopped running, and Jackson stopped too, glaring at them as if he would gulp them down in one go if they didn't reply to him.Here, training was not something to joke about, and they were running like it was some fun activity, not like he trained people now.He was a retired Beta, so he stayed away from things like this, but when the former queen and king were alive, he was in charge of getting the warriors ready for war or anything else.Now, seeing how Alisha was taking this so carelessly, he felt mad.She was of royal blood, the future queen. For Alice, he didn't give a lot of shit, but he was Alisha's mate, which made him the future king. Hearing t
"Why do you care so much? You behave very differently," Alisha commented, looking directly into his eyes, catching her breath. Her whole face turned red, due to the heat and her breathless self."I care because it's you, Angel. I don't give a fuck about anything in this whole world if it's not you, but if it's you, then I care with my whole existence," Alice sincerely replied, as he smiled, shocking Alisha a bit.She had seen him smile before, but not this radiantly. Somehow, in his sweaty body, he looked hot as his lips stretched into a pleasant smile.His words warmed her heart, making her speechless.Sometimes he just says things like this which totally blows her mind. She doesn't even get to react, as she is never able to figure out how to respond when he says things like this."Don't you feel weird when you say things like this?" she asked, wanting to know what runs through his head that motivates him to say such things."I feel weird," Alice paused, "when I don't say things like
"Run twenty rounds in teams. Levi and Alisha can run together, while Alice and Rish can run together in a group," Maya announced, fire in her eyes."I don't want to run with Rish. I will run with my girl only," Alice denied, unwilling to leave Alisha's side.He wanted to run with Alisha. After the attack, he may have been the one who bore it, but the fear of what could have happened to her was clearly eating him alive. Under no circumstances would he leave her alone without his protection. It wasn't going to happen.Running twenty rounds would take no less than an hour, as the place was quite big. It might even take longer than that."I am pairing Levi and Alisha because they are both girls, and you and Rish are guys, so it will help match the strengths," Maya sighed. She didn't understand why Alice always had to be glued to Alisha. She may have understood a bit, but not entirely. It was just tiring."It doesn't matter. I will run faster than Rish, so why can't I be paired with Alisha
"Maya, do you think it will be alright to teach her how to fight when she doesn't even have the wolf, and she's certainly just a human? Won't it be a bit more complex?" Elk asked as he entered the room where Maya was getting ready for today's lesson."I don't think it's the best thing, but whatever the case, there's no way she's safe. Since she's not safe, I don't think we should push her training any further. The attack was fatal; didn't you see the extent of Alice's injuries?" Maya looked into Elk's eyes and replied with determination."True, but I am scared for all four of them. Even if Alice was in the Mafia, that doesn't mean he can bear the training of our people. Alisha, Levi, and Rish are beyond prepared to handle it," Elk reasoned.Maya took a deep breath, knowing Elk was right. Although Levi and Rish had spent their whole lives with her, she had never taught them how to fight, maybe just a little self-defence, but they had never undergone real training.Thinking about it, sh
Alisha nodded, taking in the information about Alice's involvement with the mafia. It explained his fighting skills and the air of danger that seemed to surround him. Despite her reservations about his character, she couldn't deny that his presence during the training would be a valuable asset."Well, if you're willing to join us, Alice, your experience and expertise will certainly be helpful," Maya said, trying to maintain a neutral tone. "As long as you're committed to learning and working together with the rest of us."Alice met her gaze, his eyes intense and unwavering. "I am fully committed, Maya.”Maya nodded, a slight smile tugging at the corners of her mouth. "It's settled then. Alisha, Rish, Levi, and Alice will begin their training tomorrow morning. We'll meet in the training grounds at sunrise. Be prepared to work hard and push yourselves to your limits."Alice nodded his head, not quite sure why he had revealed his mafia connections and his involvement in the underworld. E
Alisha looked at Alice, who showed no expression. She could understand what Maya and everyone meant; she clearly needed to learn, but that didn't mean she was ready to learn fighting.She knew she had to protect herself, and Alice had saved her by putting his life at stake, so it was kind of useless if she would rely on him when they weren't even on good terms.Moreover, if she was certainly not ready to use Alice for curse-breaking, then how could she take his help in other things? It was quite nonsensical.She didn't know how to take it as a whole. On a higher scale, it was helpful, but on a lower scale, it was not.She was scared for her life, and that wasn't going to help in any way because the attack was meant for her, and seeing the situation, she could see how there would be more of them.She just couldn't pull it off or save herself if she didn't learn to fight, but she knew her body best, and she was kind of weak to learn things like this - that's why she found it so scary."
The next day."Did you pack your stuff? We are leaving for the pack in ten minutes," Maya asked as she entered the room, where Alice was sitting and Alisha was cleaning all his wounds."Everything is packed. I am just bandaging his wounds," Alisha answered without looking back."If you are done with his wounds, both of you should come outside. We have to leave as soon as possible. This place is not safe to stay, even for a single hour," Maya spoke as she walked away."Just do everything as we planned. You got me, right?" Alice's eyes were fixed on Alisha, seriousness showing on his face."Yes, we need to keep our eyes open for whatever happens next, and I will make sure I have my eyes on Elk too. He won't slip away," Alisha nodded her head.Alice stroked her hair, his heart aching for her. "I know, Alisha. It's hard, but we can't give up.”Alice's mind raced, trying to piece together the puzzle of who could be behind the attack. He knew Elk was a suspect in Alisha's eyes, but he could
