When I reach my room, it's already 8 PM. I attempt to call Aiden but his phone is still switched off, a frown appears on my face. In anger, I push my phone aside to get dressed, I take off a short fitting black dress from the bag. I commend Aiden for selecting all categories of clothes that I would need. I apply a little makeup, I don't want to come out too showy. I comb my hair, tie it into a high ponytail. I stand in front of the large mirror of the dressing room, I throw myself a sweet kiss. I admire myself, my golden honey blonde hair. It's makes me look perfect with my red lips. I slide into a black slippers, I pick up my phone and head to the third floor where the dinner is taking place. When I pass through the entrance corridor, the waiting guards take a bow. I smile in gratitude for the acknowledgement. An air of importance sets over me, I have been an ordinary girl right from when I stayed in my pack, I don't see the need anyone should pay any special attention to me. I th
I returned to my room after the tour waiting for Aiden to come back but he didn't, I began to feel so worried, I tried calling him again but still his line didn't go through, I decide to do the unthinkable. I call Chloe. "Hello!" "Why are you calling me now?" "Are you keeping my mate?" My voice becomes so harsh and hateful with the fire in my soul. "I warn you, if you're keeping him with you, you better release him to come spend the night with me. What's all these nonsense, I'm warning you for the last time!" "Hey, if I must tell you, I'm not keeping your man as you claimed, I should even be asking you this but you got the audacity to insult me this way. Time will tell whose man he is." "Are you threatening me?" Before I could even finish my statement, she ended the call. "Hmmm," I sigh. Something must be wrong, I can detect when someone is lying and when the truth is being told, though Chloe spoke in no loving way which I don't expect her to, she says the truth. She's the ma
The app cursor points at a hotel in Erille, a small city one thousand kilometres away. What's he doing here? I remember Jack was the one that took him off with his mother and brought her back alone. He must have information on his whereabouts. I tap him on the shoulders. "Where did you drop Alpha Aiden?" "Hmmm," he breathes out heavily. "He didn't ask me to disclose. I hope I don't offend you." "But I'm his mate?" "I would tell you where I dropped him but as soon as he discovers this, he'll sack me. He's so strict." "Well, don't worry." "I'm sorry, ma'am." "No problem, I understand." I look out of the window, the sea is still abound. It's really wide. "We're not yet out of here?" "You mean?" Emily asks, fiddling with her phone. "The sea." "Ohh! It's really wide, we'll soon get out of it." After thirty minutes, the helicopter lands few meters to the Erille's Metropolitan Hotel, loud music is going on inside like a great party is going on. I frown. It's not what I
Aiden leads me to the lobby which he booked, I laugh at him inside me as we stroll to the room, he doesn't know who he is walking with. I can't stop blushing at intervals but I try hard to control myself, he doesn't need to see my reaction, he might suspect. "So can you tell me more about yourself?" He wakes me off my internal euphoria. Electricity runs through my heart as my ears receives this, what would I say without going close to who I am. "Uhm…" I pause for a while, thinking what I'll say next. "I don't think I need to talk much, especially in this aspect. I don't want my identity to be revealed." "Hmm," he breathes out heavily. "Then what about you asking me to date you? I think you said that?" "Yes," I snap, cutting him short of any other thing he would want to say. I thought that if I quickly accept, it would cut short arguments. "So what about it?" "Well, I just like you. You're the Alpha of the Superclaw Pack?" "Yes, I am." His voice goes firm, I think he's try
I fix my gaze in him through my masks, trying hard to suppress the tension that's rising across my chest. Oh! How I wish he wouldn't know I'm the one. Mates have this special connection they feel with each other, I tried my best to suppress that emotional bond in my heart to prevent Aiden from knowing. "I feel this deep connection with you, I feel you're worth more than my mate." I force out a gasp as he says this. I thought I heard that he doesn't have a mate? I smirk right inside me. Look how he's distracting himself right before me here. I shake my head in fury. Aiden's eyes changes from tense to weak and apologetic, he just remembered what he told me earlier, about not having a mate. "So you have a mate? You told me you don't." "I…I never meant it but what's the issue if I pay you what I intended paying to you." "It's not all about the money but the interest." I force my voice into a teary one. "You love me right, I like you, I love you, I want to be with you but it seems yo
Aiden POV Anger fumes in my chest to have been humiliated that way, I'm going straight home. I just can't believe a woman slapped a fierce and feared mafia like me, if it was a rival, it would have been a different thing. I would take it as a challenge but a woman slapping me is quite disgraceful. I don't know if I'll ever get this off my mind. I get my phone off from my trousers' pocket, I have to call the commercial helicopter here. I dial the line of the unit in charge of commercial transport, the call goes through. "Hello." "Hello, this is the commercial helicopter unit. Please, how may we be of help?" A gentle, professional voice replies on the other side. "I'm Alpha Aiden, I need to return to my island estate." "We are at your services Alpha, tell us your location and we will be right there to pick you up." "I'm out here, in front of the hotel." "Okay!" The call ends. I wait where I am, stamping my foot in fury. My eyes blinking, she will surely get what she wan
Aiden POVI hurriedly take my phone from my pocket, dial Jack's number, click on it and place a call. His phone rings from the other end. I stamp my feet as I wait for him to pick it up and say something. I throw frightening gazes on my mom, she's very worried and quite not satisfied. Finally, Jack accepts the call and his voice comes up. "Hello sir, good morning." He's more accustomed to calling me sir than Alpha, perhaps because he's working for me and I feel our relationship should be more professional than based on traditional respect from being an Alpha. "Yes, good morning." I snap. I'm not so concerned about the greeting but the whereabouts of these two girls. "Where are you?" I start by asking, my voice very stern and authoritative. I hear him begin to stammer. "I…I..went out with…" The voice stops and it seems like he can no longer say something again. My heart beat so much heavily, my heartbeat accelerating at a rocket speed, tension is imminent and my whole being is total
I rise up from the ground hurriedly, why am I wasting my time? I asked my men to put the girl to death not knowing she was my very wife. I'm done for, I get my phone off my pocket, dial into it with great fury. I intend to call the head of the gang to stop what they were about doing right now. I just felt it was an honor to ask him to punish my enemy, I knew him for the first time through the introduction of one of the best of my men, and he became a leader for one day. He introduced Rex as a mafia gangster and don in South America, Brazil to be specific. Rex came on a hunting expedition, to assassinate one of his rivals and along the way we crossed paths. He's fierce and handsome, making me attracted to him. He's my most kind, especially as he's brave. I hate cowards. Tears flow from my eyes like a big river as he refuses to pick my call. I dial the numbers of three gang members of mine who went with him, but none of them is picking up. Are they drunk, done or executing their assignme
"I don't know why I have been so dizzy these days, absolutely not the way I used to feel." I complain as I set breakfast on the table Aiden, Sunshine and myself. "What's wrong mama?" Sunshine seems worried. "Don't worry darling, I'll be fine. Okay?" "Okay," he says reluctantly trying to focus on his food but can't. He then looks up at me to gesture if something is wrong but I shake my head into a no. Then the urge to throw up comes, I hasten off my seat to the sink. Aiden rushes off after me. After my installation, we decided to still live in his pack because of my studies at the university and because of him, so our bond would grow stronger but as well this implied us visiting my own pack to spend some time there with family, so my members would be familiar with them. At other times we would spend months at the estate of the queen which she gifted me. With this decided upon, we have no issue. As for academics, most of the times I opt in for online lectures, being a very busy pe
"I planned with my family to visit Disneyland today, are you coming with me?" Aiden asks me. "Yes sure, I will but why are you visiting there?""My pre-installation tour. I want to take a break and chill out with my family and friends. I invited about ten Alphas to come enjoy with me, I've stayed too long, for years before I have now achieved this, my sisters as well." I can feel what he is feeling. Aiden has been an Auxiliary Alpha and his sisters, Emily and Olga, they have remained in a single place for too long, now they can rise to their true ranks and would be reverred in the world, before they were almost unrecognized. "Why wouldn't I jump into this celebratory tour?" Aiden jumps up, carries me off my feet and whirls around, grinning. "Let's get prepared, a special event is taking place at Disney today, can you guess it?""No, I don't. You know I'm not good at guessing?" "Yes, that's not an issue." By the time he says this, it's already 4 PM. He has bought a new gown for m
At his estate, he postponed the conversation till evening, at night we get into the bed in our undies. He tries to seduce me but I insist until he tells me what he intended to. I wouldn't want him to make a fool of me, upon persistent resistance, he finally let the truth to bare. "Do you know I have over forty percent in making you the prospective Alpha of your pack?" I blush, rolling my eyes. "You contributed?" I chuckle, making mockery of him. "You, that wanted me to be a housewife and…… "No, no, no, I never said that." He protests. "Hmmm," I smirk. This guy can't mean this. "So what are the proofs that the moon goddess actually sent you to me. I need a possible proof." "Ok wait, sometimes you don't always have to judge by the cover." He rises from the bed to the table at the side of this bedroom, he pulls something out which I discover to be a phone. "Come on, why didn't you keep it near, by the bedside table?" "I will," he says with a heavy sigh. "I just feel so tired and c
After the refreshment, I clear my throat signaling the time for announcement. The hall stops dead. They look up at me, with steady eyes. I wink at Queen Marabella, she nods to me, permitting me to announce the results. "Yes, finally the time is here and I'm going to announce the results." Being a sensitive wolf, I can hear their heart pumping hard, I see the tension on their faces, then I smile to myself. "Like I said to myself, don't be dismayed if you are not chosen for any of these two positions. It doesn't signifies you are bad or I love the people I choose more than you, it's just that there is something, a quality I've seen in them which no one else has and which is best for these positions."I heave a sigh of relief. "My chosen Beta is Albert Sharon and my Gamma is Elsbeth Clinton." An applause erupts from the audience, there is a howl of surprise as well. I'm aware that there are disappointed, it's just normal. Since I have nothing else to say to them, I stand up with Queen M
When I arrived back home in my estate, we celebrated with a banquet and popped champagne, only my parents knew this, others I told them I just won a lottery together with my friend, Christian. Not even Sunshine knows we are substitute lovers. I personally ask Christian not to make it obvious that we are lovers. Christian leaves in the evening because I don't want him to make it obvious that something is going on between us. At my normal bedtime, I retire to bed hoping to get a pleasant night rest but a call cuts me off my expectation. I peer into the screen and it's Aiden. Him again? I growl. He switches from voice call to video call. I didn't want to answer but my wolf asks me to, I sense it still has a soft spot for him. When the call eventually goes through, I put on a serious face, I wouldn't want to appear any simple to him. "Why are you snubbing me. I saw your coronation ceremony, I felt so pained that I didn't that I didn't attend it." "Why would I invite you, you don't wa
The celebration is finally over after two days and I'm set to return to my estate in the Superclaw Pack. When I said my goodbyes to her, she didn't accept because she was coming with me to the Snow Moon Pack. There was going to be an inspection from which she would have the International Pack Authority instruct Alpha Henry to start preparing for his departure. Initially, I thought it would just be him being warned to pack his belongings with his family because he would soon be stripped of that position, same with his wife. When I heard of the departure and that it means banishment, I was dumbfounded. "So he's gonna become a rogue?" I asked the queen. "Yes, his whole family as well. That's what the International shifter law stipulates as punishment, you well know he is guilty of inappropriate acquisition of power and maltreatment of the right heiress on the grounds that she is a female and to him, female can't take the administration of a pack. I'm a women's right activist and I'll
We arrive at the Royal Palace in Copenhagen. The Queen is at the entrance with other high-ranking members of the royal family to welcome me. I courtesy before her, my parents follow suite. Just left with a bit and she would abandon me to share niceties with my parents, she was a little amazed at hearing they see alive, now she can see them with her real eyes and touch them. "My daughter," she calls boldly. "Your coronation is taking place in the next three hours, you got some rehearsals to do before then." "Where did you fast-paced everything mom?" I have decided to go with mom for her, mama for Rex's mom who is my first foster mother and mummy for my real mother to balance the equation. She smiles. "You know why I did all this instead of giving you a very long time to prepare?" I shake my head. "Good, I want you to be prepared each time you are called upon to do something. As an Alpha, which will take place after this, you will be called upon to look into certain problems and cha
At night, at around 10 AM, I receive an alert from Aiden that he can't sleep and is coming to meet me over a very important issue. I tried to ask what is it but he didn't reply, he just said he is coming, since I have an important event to attend tomorrow, early in the morning, I asked him not to spend much of my time. I need to be asleep before 11:30 PM latest so I can consume sufficient hours of sleep and be best prepared for tomorrow. Few minutes after I dropped my phone, I heard a knock on my door. "Come in!"Wow, so fast? He walks in with a serious impression on his face, I sit up, puzzled on what his intention is. "Hey, why did you come at this odd hour?" "It's something really important I need to talk to you." "Come on, say what you've got to say. I have no time to waste." He tightens his face as I say this. "You are always bent on doing things the way that suits you, not minding how others feel." "Come on, what do you mean?" My eyes narrow and my lips twitch, I stare at
The main thing I brought my parents to see Aiden was to show themselves to him, to disgrace his plan although I know it was Chloe that made him do this. Now this is done, I take them back to the car. "Take us to my estate." I tell the driver. "Okay ma'am.""Don't kill us baby," mom utters. "You have an estate?" "Yes, I do." I say with pride. "Who…. I mean did you buy it. What business did you venture into while we were absent?" "I didn't really venture into some sort of huge business, all I have was given to me by someone, the Queen of Denmark, Queen Marabella." "What?" She exclaims. "I can't believe this." "Dad, you should because it is true. A lot happened while you left, guess what?" "What?" Their hearts pump as they await to hear what I'm going to say. I smile. "I have a son, he is five years old and his name is Sunshine. You are gonna meet him where we are going." "Oh my God, I'm so so amazed to hear this darling, that means we have a grandchild?" "Yay yah. Aiden impr
