Light in darkness

Chapter 8

Alexa's POV

I still wonder how my trembling legs managed to support and carry me out of the Alpha's chambers. If Ace had not come in, I wonder if I would still be able to leave the Alpha's chamber in one piece or unscathed. He looked extremely frightening. How did he change so much? The same eyes that had looked at me with adoration, passion, and want now looked at me like I was the most disgusting being ever.

His eyes were ablaze with fury, his voice filled with resentment, disappointment, and anger. His words cut deep into my soul like I am being stabbed again and again with a dagger. I had always heard how brutal, cold, and feared he was as an Alpha and I just witnessed it, he is the perfect description of a handsome face and a stone-cold heart.

I walked with no sense of direction as I used my hands to scale the wall for support. He does not recognize me as his mate. He does not want me as his mate. But then, it's not my fault that I don't have a wol

    Chapter 10Alexa's POVWhat the hell was I thinking? I had just wanted him to stop calling me sister-in-law all the time, since in the true sense I am not his sister-in-law, his brother didn't acknowledge or want me, so what is the use? I didn't mean to cut him off and sound so..... rude? arrogant?, ungrateful? He looked at me with a surprised look on his face. “I'm sorry, I thought since you are married to my elder brother, I should address you with respect, hence me always calling you sister-in-law,” he explains meekly.“You don't have to always call me sister-in-law to show respect, call me by my name, after all, you are older than me,” I mutter.“You are right, I didn't know it made you uncomfortable, my apologies. But are you sure this has nothing to do with the fight you had with my brother?” he asks, staring at me intently.Just the mention of the Alpha made me scared and brought back the anguish and fear I felt before. I swallowed nothing in particular as I tried to calm myse

    Chapter 11Alpha Kai's POVAfter Ace left, the guard allowed the important members of the pack in. I appointed three of them to deal with some matters regarding the pack and outside the pack, since Ace already has so much work to do and I as the Alpha, can't possibly handle everything on my own.“Alpha,” they all greet and bow in respect.I respond to their greeting and lead them toward another room where my office is. I sat behind my huge mahogany desk as they all sat in front of me. “What do you have for me?” I command in my authoritative voice.“Some men we've identified as part of the green land pack attacked the southern territory and ransacked the warehouses there. Our guards tried to stop them, but members of the green land pack were more in numbers, and they came completely prepared, we lost all the goods and supplies there and a total of ten guards were lost, the rest injured,” one of the men explained.“What!,” I shouted feeling livid as my fist met with the desk causing a l

    Chapter 12Ace's POV“W…what?” I asked stunned.“Exactly what you heard,” he replies, sipping his whiskey, which he had just served himself.“What do you mean by she does not have a wolf? Is she human?” I ask because that is the only reasonable explanation right now.“She's not human, she's a werewolf who's wolfless,” he says.I took a seat in front of him, trying to absorb the information I just heard. “Is that even possible? How can there be a werewolf who doesn't have a wolf, I mean a wolf is what makes a person a werewolf, right?” I asked baffled.“Well, you just met someone who doesn't have a wolf, your innocent sister-in-law Lexa, so it's very possible,” he mutters sarcastically.“Is that why you've refused to accept her, and you are treating her badly?” I ask.“Should there be a bigger reason than this? She lied to me, she knew about her state all this while, yet she deceived me into performing the mating ceremony, should I be buying her flowers every day and worshiping her aft

Or did he find out about my wolfless state?Ace had helped me after the Alpha mercilessly slapped me. He brought me to the doctor's place and even treated my wounds. Did his brother tell him? Does he hate me now too? I looked into his blue eyes that were filled with questions, I couldn't bare to keep looking at him, so I stared at my fiddling fingers instead. He's going to leave me too, after all, who would want to stay with a burden like me? I will be all alone again.“I…I'm so sorry I lied, I didn't know how to tell you or if it was my place to say anything, I do apologize for deceiving you, I don't even know what to say or how to make you forg...,” I don't even know when I start crying, my swollen cheeks adding to the pain I'm currently feeling.

Good looks won't fool me this time. I have learned my lesson the hard way. I peer into his eyes, trying to find out if he has any other ulterior motive.“Lexa? What are you thinking about?” he asks me, still smiling.“Why do you want to be friends with me?” I questioned him curiously.“Should there be a reason?” he asks meekly, brushing some strands of hair that have fallen on his face away, looking all cute.Nice try, but I won't fall for that easily.I nod my head vigorously, “There should be a reason, you've been very nice and accommodating since you met me,”.

I picked out the shards of glass on my skin without flinching, blood pooled on my table, but I didn't care. I didn't feel the pain, since it will heal soon enough.Ace and I had an argument all because of that bitch. Why would he take her side? He should agree with me, taking my side like he always had. Only me! I'm his brother. He even walked out on me. I can't believe this. This is all that girl's fault. She's the reason we argued, she's going to pay for this. I will punish her so badly that she would wish she was never born. Here I was thinking I'd finally found my fated mate, what a joke!

I wasn't expecting that question and to be honest, I didn't understand why I wanted to be close to her too. I looked into her bright hazel eyes, the most beautiful shade I'd ever seen, and I felt enchanted. She was having difficulty trusting me, which made my heart break, but I can understand how she feels.She has built a wall around her heart to prevent herself from being hurt again, and I'm going to slowly break down that wall until she learns to start trusting again. And when she said all those things about herself, It felt like I was getting hurt also. I know about self-pity and loathing and if she continued, it would consume her until she loses herself completely. I had to reassure her to make her have confidence in herself again.

I started to panic out of fear.“Alpha, we need more hot water and towels,” she said hurriedly. I quickly turn around to the maids behind me.“You heard what she said, get it right away!” I bark at them and they scurry away. The midwife tries to go back in, but I step in front of her.“What is going on? Is she okay?” I asked worriedly.“We can't say for now Alpha, the matter is complicated, but we will try our best to make sure the mother and child are okay,” she said.“Ahhhhhhhh!” Alexa screams out in pain again. “Let me in.

This is my life now, a life full of misery and pain.I wipe the tears that are falling down my cheeks with my hands as I sniffle. I can't remember the last time I smiled or laughed.

I grab my dress instead and walk away from him towards the house. He follows behind me with his guards. We all walk in and waited in the living room. My hands gently touch the sofa and the walls.

Uncle Gaius had totally changed the whole place."Alpha Ace," I hear the voice of the man that his betrayal is deeply rooted within me.

I gazed at him skeptically, wondering if he didn't hear me very well.“My sweet sweet Lexa,” he smiles, cupping my chin. “You became mine, the second I laid my eyes on you. You don't know how elated I felt when I saw you for the first time standing in the garden as the wind whipped your hair around. My fingers twitched to run my hands through your hair,” he asserts, touching my hair. I swat his hand away.“Do not touch me or else…,” I threaten, my eyes blazing with fury.“I fucking love the fire burning like embers in your hazel eyes right now,” he smirks, coming within close proximity to me.

I won't kill you, but by the time I'm done with you, you will pray for death instead,” he threatens.“What is that supposed to mean?” the Chief asks incredulously.“Carol and Leon. Maybe I should go play with them a bit. What do you think?” he asks, tilting his head thoughtfully. The Chief's face fell.“You are going to use my family as leverage just to make sure I agree to your demands?” he mutters in disbelief.“You left me no other choice. Either you accept to continue being the Chief and your family lives, or you reject, your family dies, and you will continue being Chief,” he shrugs nonchalantly.“You are a psychopath!” he utters with disdain.“I hear that often.
