He was different, like we weren't embracing a few minutes ago. His body was shaking with anger. " Please don't do this," I begged again. " Get out before I lose it," he growled; this time, it was a command I couldn't resist. He was an alpha- A powerful alpha, and I was a rogue. I wasn't as strong as my father to fight an alpha's order. With shaking left and trembling hands, I exited the office. I sighed, my breath shaking. I listened by the door as growls erupted from his chest and cussed. Tears rolled down my face. He hated me. " Marie, are you alright?" Killian came to me, worried. He looked between his older brother's office and me. I shook my head and threw myself in his arms, crying. The young Silvius hugged me gently until I was done crying. He pulled from me with a gentle gaze and a voice asking, " What happened?" " He hates me," my voice was sore. " No, he doesn't. He was just worried you left without a word. He looked for you every day," he explained. He didn't under
Khai It had been two days since my mate came back. She spoke to me and usually acted towards me, including making dinners and breakfast, but I didn't talk to her or eat her food. She confessed, and she was sorry for her actions. However, I couldn't look past her betrayal. Was I being unreasonable? My wolf thinks we should forgive her already and that I'm dragging this out, but I remember all the lies she told and what she planned to do to my pack and my family. Was I her first victim? Were there other men she had betrayed? Just how many? I thought of Marie as pure and innocent, but her lies tarnished the image I built of her in my head. ' It's not her fault you build this image of her. She didn't say she was pure,' my wolf interjected. George met me at a bar we usually hang out. All the socialites were there. He was in a brilliant mood after hooking up with Eloise, Zuriel's sister. She left an impact on my best friend. " I heard the Luna is back. You must be excited," he said, c
Marie I awoke with a smile, thinking back to last night. We made love, so maybe he forgave me. I sigh and stretch my limbs. I look around the room but am disappointed that he is not there. I went to the shower to take a cold bath, which eased my temperature. However, I heard the door abruptly open, and a firm hand grabbed me and pulled me out of the shower. I frowned when I saw it was Khai and looked down at my bruised arm. " Khai, you're hurting me," I said. I looked back at him; he was seething and angry. " What is it?" He pulled out a phone I hadn't seen earlier and put it in my face. "Khai, why do you have my phone?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. His silence was deafening, and I felt a knot in my stomach. Then, an open message appeared on the screen, and a shock wave struck me. N[ I miss you. I can't wait to have you in my arms, baby] The message read. I sighed and shook my head. N[ I keep longing for you. Seeing you for a week wasn't enough. Marie, I love yo
MarieI paused in my tracks, and they did, too, only momentarily. I plastered a smile on my face. Khai's face is stoic, while Norah has a pleasant, practiced smile. I feel Hope hiding behind my legs, maybe a little nervous. I caress her curls softly. " Luna Marie, hello," " Hello, Miss Norah," I smile at her. We exchanged pleasantries and even waved at Hope. And then we stayed silent. I opened my mouth to speak to Khai but closed it soon after. I don't know what to say to him. " I should go now. We are going for pizza," I said, waving my wallet at him. He nods at me, and I turn, but he suddenly grabs my hand. Tingles appear on my skin, and he releases my hand. " I'm leaving the pack for a business trip," he says. I nodded and glanced at Norah. Are they going together? " Have you packed a bag?" I asked, avoiding his eyes and focusing on little Hope. " No," " I'll pack a bag for you. I'll send it over. When are you leaving?" " Tomorrow, early in the morning," " Okay th
" Good evening," he greeted. " Evening," I smiled slightly at him. " Is everything alright with her?" he asked, concerned for the little girl in my arms. " She's just a little sad," I answer. He frowned and nodded. He went past us to the bedroom. Hope stared at me, her eyes red. " Luna, I'm hungry," I smiled and kissed her forehead. " Supper is almost ready. Stay and watch another cartoon, okay?" I said gently to her. She nodded, and I put her on the sofa. I felt Khai's gaze but proceeded to the kitchen to make dinner. As I made food, I felt Khai stand behind me. " Are you eating with us?" I asked. He didn't answer for a moment but did, " Yes," I could sense his agitation even though I didn't glance at him. Why was he anxious? I turned to look where he was, but he left. I served dinner on the table, and we all ate. I was only conversing with Hope. She told me about her cartoons, but I noticed she didn't look at Khai. My mate had tried to converse with her, but Hope
Khai Did I overplay my hand that even the kid my mate is fond of notices that she's been hurting? I felt a sharp pain when the lovely little girl, Hope, pointed out how much I made Marie sad. I wanted to make it right with her, but I didn't know how. When she left the bathroom, all wet and sexy, my member hardened, and I wanted her. The words that she said made me feel shitty, like the worst mate on earth. " I'm not a whore, Khai. A woman you come to when you're horny," her voice was broken but firm. I felt like I was hit by a truck. I didn't mean to make her feel like a whore, but lately, I've been treating her badly. However, she never hated me. She still did her duties and received much praise from my parents and the pack. Everyone loved Marie because of her softness and kind nature. I must admit that I was angry at her when she left me and hid the truth from me, but I forgave her. I believed what she said about her ex, who was obsessed with her. I was sorry for behaving poo
Marie The two guards were on the ground, out cold, but I could tell they were breathing. I turned my head to the side, and my stomach was in knots when I saw Nigel standing a few meters from me with a gun in his hand. I crossed my hands against my chest and glared at him, " What are you doing here? Does Pa know?" I questioned my tone hard. He approached me, looking as confident as ever. He smiled at me and gripped my cheek. I pushed him away, and he laughed. " Your father doesn't know. I came here on my own will," he said. I glanced around at the rogues he came with. I didn't know them. I instinctively took a step back, feeling apprehensive. " T- then why are you here?" I tried to keep my voice firm. He was acting wild. Did he rebel from my father? " I'm here to get you, Princess. I saw your message to Vlad before he could," he informed me. " I know my way to my father's territory; leave before I call my mate," I said, holding my car door. I was pulled back harshly by my hai
" Oh fuck," I muttered. Things had escalated quickly. My father was there with his over ten men, and now Khai had joined in the chaos with his beta, growling at the intruders. Before Khai shifted into his human form, several pack warriors appeared at once, growling toward my father, but Sebastian Vlad didn't care. His red eyes were on me, and there was worry in those orbs. I was holding Hope close to me. The poor girl was trembling, and her eyes were shut. Khai shifted into human form, and a guard brought him basketball shorts that he swiftly wore. He immediately rushes to me, kissing my temple and hugging me slightly while his hand rubs Hope's back. " Are you hurt? Did he hurt you?" he asked. No one could miss the fear in his voice; his fingers were touching my temple, which had blood on it from when Nigel banged my head against the window. " I'm fine, Khai," I mumbled, stepping away from him. My actions seemed to hurt him, and I felt a pang of guilt. However, I stayed rooted in
