The bell rang, alerting Alice, who then calmed upon recalling it was definitely the cake for Alisha.“Let me take you downstairs, where you can enjoy your truffle cake and watch TV,” Alice suggested firmly to Alisha.Alisha simply nodded, allowing him to carry her, eager to indulge.Having slept too long, she had no desire to remain idle when she couldn't sleep anyway.So, she acquiesced to his offer, lacking the energy to walk.Alice felt content seeing her agreement, sensing progress in their relationship compared to a week ago.Perhaps the time apart had helped Alisha understand certain things, or maybe it was his behaviour yesterday.Regardless, he hoped she would continue to behave this way.If she did, he could treat her like a princess without causing harm.While she would face consequences for the week she wasn't with him, her obedience might mitigate the punishment.Alice settled her on the sofa, then headed to the door to pay the delivery guy and retrieve the cake. Returning
Alice rolled his eyes, not out of annoyance, but a sense of weariness as he felt Alisha was on the verge of discussing the topic endlessly.It wasn't like he had slept with her; if that were the case, he might understand her insistence on prolonging the conversation. But for just a blowjob, he couldn't comprehend why she felt the need to blabber the point endlessly.He couldn't shake the nagging thought of how much she might divulge once they were fully intimate. The idea of her sharing details of their sex life with others, like Daisy and Mary, was mortifying—he couldn't bear the embarrassment it would bring.‘It's not like you don't find it embarrassing, taking advantage of her? How is that any less embarrassing than what you did?’ His head throbbed with conflicting thoughts.A voice in his head reminded him of his own actions, questioning why he found her words more embarrassing than his own transgressions.Alice struggled with his conscience, feeling as though there was someone in
"What do you want to watch now? I can tune the TV to any movie or show you'd love," Alice took the remote and turned on the TV, seeking her preference.“I don't know much about movies. We don't have a TV in our orphanage; Mother Mary says it costs a lot and we need to focus on studies,” Alisha exclaimed, gazing excitedly at the TV.She had never watched any show or movie in her entire life, but that didn't mean she was unfamiliar with television.She knew about it, and when Alice offered, she thought she could finally get a chance to watch.Now he was asking what she wanted to watch, and that was the main problem because she didn't know what she wanted.Since she didn't know any shows or movies, she didn't have any favourites or binge-worthy options.“What?” Alice gasped, shocked to hear her say she'd never watched television.Even poor people had these things in their houses, and her so-called Mother Mary deprived everyone of it.“Yes, we can't have it because Mother Mary needs to pa
Alice nodded as he processed the details in his head, recalling the information about Alisha's scholarship that he had read before. He had never considered that it could be the reason for their financial situation.Of course, college expenses were exorbitant, and no government funds could cover it all.This new piece of information shed light on another aspect of the challenging circumstances Alisha had faced.He couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness knowing that Alisha had to make sacrifices similar to those his own mother had made.While he himself hadn't grown up surrounded by riches, he had worked hard to become a billionaire and now enjoyed all the luxuries life could offer.Similarly, he could see the determination in Alisha, evidenced by her scholarship to a top college. It was quite impressive to expect such academic success from someone like Alisha.After noticing the shocked expression on Alice's face, Alisha spoke up, offering reassurance. "What are you looking so shock
Hahahah!Alice laughed as she resembled a rabbit caught red-handed, with her tiny body claiming she plays support and daring to speak against him.He had to give her a reward.Or not?She could crack a dent in his head, and then he would again contemplate rewarding her for her courage.That's the effect she has on him.“I don't feel offended. If you want to think I'm dumb, then let it be. Who cares what you think,” Alice's lips turned lopsided as he looked at Alisha, his eyes scanning her up and down.Indicating what's wrong in calling someone dumb.In his eyes, there is none.Or is there?Alisha is his, so he can say anything to her. Who cares? At least he won't start caring overnight.He already cares much more than necessary.“Then I don't care either,” Alisha retorted, trying hard not to squirm under his gaze.The way his eyes slowly scanned every inch of her body.Surely something not so comfortable at all.For her at least, it's not, and clearly, she can't push the feeling away.
Alice smirked, he played with the right shoes, getting called shameless, and why not?What is so wrong in becoming shameless?If he can see her all flushed, beautiful, and on edge, then why not? Shameless is something he is ready to be called his whole life.Because that whole life will contain her in it, and he won't find it annoying.Rather, he will find it enjoyable, and that enjoyment will work in every way, and he doesn't mind having it.Or should say he is eagerly waiting to have it.He wants to touch her, have her, but this time with her consent, with a blowjob. She has to carry so many wounds.He doesn't want her to carry more wounds because when he is going to fuck her, he is not going to end it roughly.It's never-ending with her.At least not when she is the only person who is his.He could have the whole world under him, but she is the only world he wants under him. Does that make a difference?In his trance, it doesn't, but in his life, it's going to make a huge dent.Bec
Alice's head spun a full 360 degrees when he saw the grin on Alisha's lips and heard her suggestion that she would love for him to teach her about porn and maybe even engage in some practical demonstrations. It was more shocking than anything he had ever encountered in his life.Was this the same innocent Alisha he knew?She was behaving with the same boldness as she did in the office, calling him Daddy and turning him on, which was unexpected, to say the least.He had entertained the idea before, but this was not what he had anticipated at all."Do you even know what you're saying, Angel?" Alice inched closer to Alisha, his hand resting on her thigh. With a serious expression, he couldn't help but wonder which version of Alisha was the real one.The seemingly naive one or this bold one who exudes an aura he couldn't ignore.He wanted to uncover the truth about Alisha's personality, unsure if she had a split personality or if there was something else at play.Alisha's expression chan
"Hello, is anyone there?"Daisy knocked on the door, waiting anxiously, her stress palpable.The door opened, revealing a little kid."Yes, Aunty? Who are you looking for?" the kid asked."I wanted to see Mary," Daisy replied softly, looking pale, trying not to alarm the child."Mother Mary is out, looking for our big sister, Alisha," another child called from inside.Daisy closed her eyes, understanding the situation all too well.She and Alisha's friend had been waiting in a cafe for Alisha to come out of the bathroom. When Alisha didn't return after a long time, Daisy had searched everywhere for her.Unable to find her, Daisy knew who might have taken Alisha – her own son, Alice.Though she couldn't recall seeing Alice at the cafe, she was certain he was involved. Despite asking at home and Alice's office, no one had seen him, leaving Daisy to wonder where he could have taken Alisha.After sending Alisha's friend home and searching all day, Daisy realised she needed to speak with M
“What?” Rish gasped. “She’s getting her wolf back? How come she’s getting it before me? I’m older, and we’re both in the pack now. Why is she getting hers first?”More than shocked about Levi getting her wolf, he was shocked that she was getting it before him. When he was clearly older.“Keep your voice down, Rish, she’s sleeping,” Maya hushed him. “The timing of getting your wolf back doesn’t depend on age, dumbass. It happens when it’s supposed to. Because you both didn’t get your wolves on time, it’s more difficult and painful when the process finally happens.”Alisha looked at Maya with concern. “Am I going to go through the same thing?” She was scared.Seeing Levi suffer for the last two days had been tough. Though Alisha had endured a lot before, getting a wolf seemed far more painful.“Who knows, Alisha,” Maya said honestly. “Levi and Rish were not cursed; it’s just because they weren’t in the pack that they’re only getting their wolves now. But you’re different. Your wolf is o
"Levi, how are you feeling now?" Alisha asked, as she saw Levi pale and burning with fever.For the past two days, she had suddenly suffered from the fever, and damn, it wasn't getting any better. Her fever was only getting worse, making Levi look like she was going to die. While that may sound like an exaggeration of the situation, it was true that every hour she was fainting, and it was becoming more severe each time it happened."I'm feeling a little okay," Levi replied with difficulty, trying to smile, but failing miserably without a doubt."If you're feeling better, then why does your face look way worse than before?" Rish chimed in, his face looking stressed, showing the deep concern he had for his sister."Because...I have a fever. I'm not going to miss the World Cup because of it, so stop with these hypertensive reactions, Rish."He groaned. "Now it seems like your situation is getting better since you start having the energy to fight, which seems like a positive thing." He c
"You're thinking too much. Even if whatever happened in the past is trying to affect your present, don't let it, because that doesn't help at all," Maya advised.Jackson snapped back from his trance and nodded his head. "That's not changing anything. She doesn't want me too, and I don't feel any love or affection towards her.""Nobody is forcing you or her to feel anything, but maybe you both should try to get along. You're both old now; it's quite useless to behave like this," Maya said, her expression conveying how she found the situation absurd yet sensible at the same time.She could totally understand Jackson, and maybe somehow Lima too, as it's hard to accept mates when you're not on the same page.But it was dumb to be like this, especially after wasting 18 years.She regretted her own actions, and now, seeing others doing worse, she couldn't hold herself back.It was like the things one wants, others easily relinquish. She was here, dying to be with her mate, and yet these two
"Jackson, we need to talk. Why didn't you say anything about this whole situation? Not when you called her for help at the hospital, nor when we discussed going to her," Maya spoke sternly as she entered the room with him after dealing with everything.Jackson's face crunched in disgust upon hearing Maya's words, as if he had seen something weird. "Is that even important? She's a witch; helping people is her job. Why should I care? You're making it sound like a big deal, but it's not."Seeing how nonchalantly Jackson was reacting, Maya was dumbfounded. "That's not what I mean, Jackson. You know exactly what I'm trying to say here.""I don't know exactly, and you can stop talking in puzzles. It's totally fine if you talk normally.""Okay then," Maya groaned. "She's your second chance mate. Why are you so casual about it? And at the same time, you don't seem normal.""Did you skip the part where she mentioned how she rejected me, and on my part, I accepted it? Besides, it's been 18 year
"Then what about you? Always behaving so high and mighty, you're just a witch, don't forget," Jackson growled, having had enough of this woman. Though he didn't like her from the start when she came to the pack, why was a witch even needed? But then again, she helped with healing and other things, so he let it be.But he hated her whenever their paths crossed."You're angry because you were rejected, and your whole life went to hell after your wife died, and me, just a fucking witch, rejected you as a second chance mate," Lima spat her words venomously.Maya and Alice's eyes widened in shock. Mostly Maya was stunned. Of course, she knew how Jackson lost his wife in the attack, but she never knew that Lima was his second chance mate and had rejected him too.It made sense why she didn't know, because she was away for 18 years, but this whole situation was quite strange. He showed no sign of discomfort while they talked and decided to come here."I don't want a mate like you. I had on
"What brought you here? Let me have some peace. Didn't I tell you last time that I am now too old to help? Even when I helped before, my powers are still recovering, so find someone else," Lima softly sighed, seeing three familiar faces.It's not like she doesn't want to help, but her old bones can't assist at all. Even though Alisha is a royal heir, that doesn't mean she will put her life at stake. She is here due to a treaty, or else why would a witch live among werewolves?When the attack happened on this pack, she got sent here because Alisha's mother had some witch powers, so she was considered part of the witch side too. She helped them when they needed it, so as Lima came here to help the warriors and to heal others, she had to stay due to the circumstances, and how the pack needed her powers for healing and recovery.Now, she did help by telling about the curse and curing Alisha a bit. That doesn't mean she will keep doing it; she hates sticking her nose into business that isn
"Come here, sit down. Now tell us what you all found," Levi immediately came with water as soon as Alice, Maya, and Jackson entered.She, Rish, and Alisha were all so eager to know what happened about the whole building scenario.And all three of them were dissatisfied too because they were left behind. Usually, they all went there to train and were very familiar with the area, but today Maya allowed no one other than Alice, who obviously saw the building, so it was necessary for him to go.Elk had some work, so he couldn't go with them or stay at home either."Let us breathe. Why are you so eager?" Maya sighed as they all settled in their seats and took the water."How can we not be eager?" Rish stated. "You all went there without us, of course we are curious, and it's so hard to keep our calm after seeing you all.""That's because it wasn't necessary for so many of us to go there, and we can't just leave one person alone here, even though this house is safe. That doesn't mean I'm no
"Is this the place where you found the key?" Jackson asked, unsure of what to do next."Yes, this is exactly where I saw the building and got this key," Alice replied. How could he forget? Even in his dreams the previous night, he had seen that damned building and felt the exact same feeling as the moment he stood in that place. Now that they were here, the building was nowhere to be found, just as he had been unable to see it after exiting yesterday. Again, he wanted to dismiss yesterday as a dream, but this key wouldn't let that happen – nor would the vivid, detailed memory ingrained in his head.So it was useless to even try. But what now? There was no building here, and he didn't know what he was meant to do with this key.He brushed his hair back, stress clearly visible on his face. He didn't look panicked, but he was far from comfortable or at peace.This was mostly because of his involvement with the mafia; he rarely felt panic unless his mother or Alisha were somehow harmed
"I know you've suffered a lot, but that doesn't mean it'll set things straight," Maya said, her wrinkled face showing the weight of her exhaustion and stress. "It doesn't matter, Alisha. When you're in a place where you have to fight, death is unavoidable. Did you think you'd get the Alpha position peacefully?"How could she not be tired? Everything was taking its toll on her mind; she didn't even want to count it all. Finding Alisha had been her first priority, but back then, she hadn't thought deeply about what she'd do next or how things would work out.Now, when she did think about it, it seemed like a far-fetched dream. It was as if she'd only dreamed about the starting point—finding Alisha—and then never dreamed beyond that. And now she was suffering in her success: the attack, Alisha's curse, the pack's new Alpha, and this building mystery. Everything was crushing her.She didn't even know how to mend her relationship with Elk. He'd said he forgave her, but since that day, she
