I walked back into my chambers with red and swollen eyes. I should have seen the whore Katherine was earlier, and I should have seen how evil she was, but my love for her blinded me from seeing her true colors.And now, my father's life was a payment for my foolishness. The Alpha king is gone, and I'm the one to blame. I couldn't control the tears that rolled down my eyes. I should have fucking killed that betrayer right at that spot, but I couldn't. My heart could not make me do it right away."Argghhhhnhnn." To ease my pain, I could only destroy multiple things in my room, but it wasn't helping me fully. I fell back on the bed, covering my face with my palm and asking myself why Kath had to do it. Was it because my father never really liked her? This is what I get for trusting and loving a low life. She could rot and die for all I cared. I was going to make her miserable till death would become the only option for her and she would beg for it.A knock was rasped on my door but I ign
I woke up to so much pain around my vagina. In fact, I couldn't tell the exact place I was feeling the pain because it was everywhere. The sudden reminder that I had given birth crossed my mind and I began to sob.I tried to free myself, but found out that I had been chained to the walls and I couldn't move an inch. The only thing I could do was to cry and cry my eyes out because I lost everything all in one night. I was innocent, but no one would believe me, not even Zane who claimed to love me with all his heart.I hated everything…. Hated my life…. Hated the moon goddess, hated who I was.As I continued to sob aloud thinking whether my children would have been dead or not, my heart thumped so hard when I heard Jane's voice. "Open the gate, I wanna see the filthy prisoner." She commanded the soldier who was standing at the entrance of my dungeon. As I watched Jane step in, my eyes turned red with rage especially because she still had thsy evil smirk attached to her face."How could
I halted right in front of Lycan king Leo's Bentley, trying hard not to act too shocked at his presence. This was the first time he was gracing us with his presence since the first day I knew someone like Alpha king Leo existed. I had no idea why he decided to come for my father's burial and my coronation, but I was more than happy to see him here.This would leave a great impact in my pack, one that would certainly make me prosper. I had to be on my best behavior, and be on his good side as well."Alpha Leo." I called out with respect, and outstretched my hand to a handshake. "It's so surprising that you're here today, what made you have a chance of heart because you clearly stated you wouldn't be coming." "Blake." He called out to his beta standing behind him, while I waited patiently until his beta returned. "Alpha Zane, right?""Yes, it's Zane." I responded excitedly. It was even more comforting that he knew my name. "Here, it's a gift from my pack, accept it."I froze, staring a
A FEW HOURS EARLIERThis is the pack where my mate calls my name, and calls for help. A pack that distance from my own pack had my mate suffering and chained to the walls. I could feel her weak heart, but I had no idea where I needed to go to find this strange lady that kept calling for my help or where she was.''Blake, are you certain this is the right place?'' I questioned my beta when I suddenly stopped feeling her energy. ''If the descriptions in your vision are correct, then we're definitely in the right place, Alpha.'' He replied, halting the car. I instructed him to announce our presence so he stepped out of the car before me, while I kept looking around. It didn't take long for him to return informing me that everything had been taken care of and I could go in. Although this wasn't the plan, I was doing this for her because I wanted to know who she was.When Zane arrived, my beta did the talking while I stood back waiting for the expression on his face. I have absolute
KATHERINE:I had to think of every possible way to escape from this place because I was scared. Zane was a monster and if he found out I was here, he would come get me immediately, and this time I would be dead in less than a few hours. I sniffled, realizing that it was just an expensive joke from him.''Do you find so much joy playing with other people?" He simply scoffed and rose to his feet, while folding his hands behind his back, I watched him scoff once again. "Who are you?" He questioned and at that moment, I had no idea what to say. I definitely didn't want his pity so I couldn't just tell him that I was Zane's mate whom he had rejected because of an accusation that I didn't commit. I couldn't tell him that I was someone that had been betrayed by her own family who despised her with passion and made her life miserable, and that I had lost my precious babies to the hands of my enemies. That I was someone whose heart was hell bent on taking revenge on all those who hurt me
BLUE CREST PACK"Where the hell is she? Did you find her? Where?" In a splitting second, I knocked down one of my soldiers out of anger. Kathrine couldn't escape my wrath, there was no way I could let her escape the plans I had for her, the endless pains I was willing to cause her. I curled my hands into fist, trying to contain my anger, but just the thought of Kathrine out there was making me even furious.She fucking doesn't deserve to see the light of a new day after killing my father, cheating on me with a low life and betraying the love I had for her. I wanted to see her suffer and make her beg before I kill her."Begin another search immediately. I don't fucking care where the hell you find her, or what you have to do to find her, but make sure you bring her to me alive or half dead." I ordered and one after the other, they began to run outside. As soon as they were all out, I wrecked my hands roughly through my hair and grunted as I turned around."Zane, take it easy please. Yo
"Make your decision on this alpha, if you chose Kiara, then you know what happens to the pack. You'll lose the trust of your people, and most importantly, you'll lose the respect of the elders.""Did you find Kiara yesterday?" Aiden ignored Cass' statement and questioned him. He was still utterly confused on what to do. Why was Scarlett his mate and not Kiara? His wolf had called out to Scarlett's wolf as his mate so It had to be the choice of the moon goddess and maybe that was it. If it was the choice of the moon goddess, then there was nothing he could do about it other than to abandon Kiara.There was a knock on the door and shortly afterwards, it opened. Blake, the pack's gamma stepped into the room, "Alpha, you have a guest." He announced with an unhappy look on his face. The moment Aiden heard this, he rose to his feet in a hurry without even bothering to ask who it was and began to head outside expecting to see Kiara waiting for him.Unfortunately, it was Scarlett standing at
Kiara strode down the corridor with her mind lost in thoughts Everything had changed over the last one week since she was rejected by Aiden, and since the claiming ceremony where Scarlett became his Luna, her life had grown from bitter to worse. She was now a maid of Scarlett, and while her step mom and her dad were living in luxury, she was given the life of a maid.Kiara wiped the tears that rolled down her eyes, and a few more walks, she was standing right in front of the Alpha's chamber with trembling hands, shaky feet, beads of sweat dripping down her face and a fast paced heartbeat that she couldn't control. Kiara was certain Scarlett would not be with him at this time where Aiden always needed his peace to think about his pack.She gulped down a lump of saliva and immediately entered into the chamber to see Scarlett on the bed with only her underwear.Kiara shook her head in disgust. Maybe this sight didn't affect her any longer because she was used to seeing it almost everyda
ETHAN'S POV“What the hell do you mean by you were coerced? What the fuck are you talking about Dahlia?”I asked in confusion , releasing my grip from the glass I was holding unconsciously.“I could not tell you then because I was afraid, I was afraid that you would not believe me, that you would be so angry with me. I was afraid that if I had told you the truth, you would do something rash and get yourself into trouble, that you would lose favour in your dad's eyes if you go trying to defend my honour”“What the fuck are you talking about?”I growled loudly at her, even more confused by her words.“André..”Dahlia started , then burst into tears.I was at a loss of what to do, was I meant to go to her side and try to calm her down? Or stay put?The anger in me was slowly disappearing with the increasing amount of tears that flowed from her eyes.“He threatened me. André threatened me, I did not know what to do, I had to just go along with it. He told me that if I did not go along wi
ETHAN'S POV“D..Dahlia?”It took me approximately two minutes to gather myself and even after those two minutes, I could feel my blood grow cold as I stared at the woman standing in front of meDahlia Monroe, the love of my life who betrayed me and left me shattered and broken, the mate I had chosen for myself who took up and left when things seemed bleak.The woman claimed that the little boy in her hands, who looked like a splitting image of me, was my son.I had not realized that I had tightened the grip I had on Aurora's hand till she gasped.Immediately I dropped her hand like I was burnt.“Sorry, I..”“Who is she?”Aurora asked me in a soft voice, one full of confusion similar to the tone of her voice.“Oh me? I am the mother of his child and I would say the love of his life”“Dahlia”I said in a sharp tone immediately.Aurora's expression changed from that of confusion to disbelief then to hurt and betrayal.It was written as clear as day on her face. I had never mentioned anyt
ETHAN'S POVWhen I got news of the unrest at the pack, I had to drop everything to go settle things back there like I usually did, but this time, it was different.In the past, it had always been so easy for me to drop everything and just go but that was when I did not have Aurora.The mere thought of going to bed without her in my arms, without the feel of her soft skin, which smelled so sweetly of lavender, er, and her hair that smelled like jasmines killed me.The soft sounds she made while she was asleep became my ho, m,e, and her habit of leaving her bunny fuzzy slipper everywhere in the house was comfort.But I had to remember that no matter what, the pack came first; I had to go and nip the unrest in the bud before it became something else.“Can I follow you at least?”Aurora asked me as she folded my clothes into a bag while I got dressed.“No, baby, you have to stay here and watch things for me, we can't both the gone at once, we still have a company under our care”“But..”
One month later DAHLIA'S POV“It is a beautiful place André, but I would have preferred somewhere closer”I said as I walked into the house that André had purchased for me. As usual, it met up to all my requirements and my taste.“Are you sure you want to go through with this? Is there even any point to it, I thought that you had moved past all of it ?”André asked me as I picked up a white vase and admired it quietly.“Say something”“What do you want me to say? There is nothing that you can say to me that would change my mind now. My mind had been made up; the plans had been set. It is happening André, whether you like it or not.*****************************************I had worn this dress only once; I had bought it to receive one of the most important awards of my career, and today that was exactly what I was going to wear.It was a sequined green dress that exposed my cleavage and my long legs, it made me look extremely sexy and exoticI stared at my mirror, I looked like perf
Weeks laterAURORA'S POVThe hostility I had expected was found lacking. I had thought that many of the workers would hate me but it seemed that little by little they were getting used to the idea of me in the office.Having Jackson just opposite my office was honestly really crazy. Most times, I caught him staring at me, with anger and longing in his eyes.He had made it clear that he hated the fact that I had a higher position than him in the office.Knowing Jackson, I was not surprised that his male ego was bruised. After all, he had always been like that, everything was always about me.Not only was he prejudiced about that, but he had also made it his life mission for some reason to get me back.I came to the for a few days to see flowers, chocolates, plates, and little gifts on my table, and I knew immediately that they were from Jackson.One thing I did not want to find out about was that. I could not let that happen, I had to stop Jackson one way or the other.Dropping my bag
CLARA'S POVOver the years, I had perfected restraining myself and burying my emotions.Mummy had always told me that a lady should not show emotions. Honestly, I think that because she was incapable of showing it having emotions, she thought it was normal.Jackson's words never left me; I could have dismissed them as drunken words, but deep down, I knew that he meant every word he said to me last night.There was no way that I was going to let it go; he had said those things to me, his mate, because of that dreadful bitch.“Did you complete the job?”I said into the receiver.“I did exactly what you asked me to but someone got in the way and saved her”The hitman that I had hired to kill Aurora replied “What?! Are you trying to tell me that she is alive?”“I am sorry ma'am”“You are so fucking stupid, I gave you one simple task, one little task and you could not carry it out. You are so damn useless”I shouted into the phone and threw the phone to the ground.Jackson and Aurora were
JACKSON'S POVThe ride to the office was filled with me regretting my life choices after that little stunt of Clara's this morning.I had had it with her already, but I was in a cell, and I just had to butter up my prison guard to survive.Handing my key to the valet, I walked into the office, heading straight to my new but not-so-new office.After I had gotten married to Clara, Ethan had done well on his promise and promoted me to manager which had very nice perks.I had my own office, it was luxurious, not as much as I would have loved it to be, but it was quiet and private. What I loved most about it was the name tag on my door.As soon as I sat down, a knock resounded in my office.“Come in”I said as Pearl, my secretary brought my daily cup of coffee whilst balancing some files on her other hand.“Good morning, Mr Jackson. I hope you had a very nice and relaxing weekend?”She asked in that shy little voice of hers.Pearl had not always been my secretary, initially when I had been
AURORA'S POVSaying I felt jitters was an understatement. I had stalled resuming my position in the company with the excuse of after the marriage and I knew that there was no excuse I could give again.I was married to the CEO of Thompson Incorporations, and I was meant to be the COO. To say that I felt very unworthy was an understatement. Knowing how people were, I was aware that I would be gossiped about and called names, like being a gold digger, a slut, and the like.I took deep breaths as I stared into the fog-covered mirror, running my hands through my wet hair; I sighed.No matter what, I was worthy of this position. Over the years, I had worked my ass off to attain my qualifications, and even today, a fortune only smiled at me because I was married to Ethan. At the end of it all, he was my mate, and he felt I was worthy, and that was all that mattered.I picked up the blow dryer and started drying my hair, still unable to shake off the nerves that were growing and increasing
JACKSON'S POV“Argh! Close the damn blinds”I mumbled as the light entered into my eyes and worsened the banging in my head“You are late for work. There's aspirin beside the table and a glass of water; take it, get dressed, and come downstairs. We need to talk”Clara said in a stiff voice and walked away.I had only heard that voice once, and that was when Clara was planning to annihilate a shop attendant who spilled wine on her limited-edition white gown.“Fuck! Why did I drink so much”I mumbled as I grabbed my head between my handsPopping the pills, I swallowed it down with some water, immediately feeling a little bit of relief.I hopped into the shower and as I washed my face I remembered all my words to Clara last night“Fuck!”I groaned.The soap I had applied to my face entered into my eye.“Ow, ow, fuck!!!”I grimaced, trying to wash it off, the sudden movement had me spiraling to the floor and I hit my face on the tub “Argh”I groaned.Why was this morning so bad? Was this
