LORRAINE'S POVI was stunned and angry.I told myself that I wouldn't feel sorry for anything that happened to him. How could he look me in the face and say I was using him as an excuse to get back with the twins when all I was trying to do was help him for the sake of my conscience?I tossed on my bed, unable to sleep. No matter how many times I reminded myself that I tried to help, it just didn't work out. I was worried for him and I hated it. The man was botherline rude and self-conceited. He didn't deserve any form of pity from me but I felt guilty. I was the one who put him in that situation knowing fully well how jealous the twins could get. Around 3 am, I finally fell asleep. I woke up late the next day and had to marathon through my chores to finish on time. Despite that, I was still two hours late to school and Chloe already left without me. As I walked to school, I couldn't help but hope that Hector would just show up. I needed to know he was okay or I wouldn't be abl
LORRAINE'S POV “Hey.” He raised his head from his locker. “It's lunch break. Do you want something to eat?” I asked him. Hector continued staring at me like a movie. He was still hazy from his sleep, I guess. “Hector!” I snapped my hands on his face and he blinked. “Wake up!” He pushed himself off the desk and yawned slightly. “What's new?” “The teacher left the class about ten minutes ago. Everyone else is at the cafeteria except us,” I informed him.“Why haven't you gone with the rest of them?” He asked me. I bit my lip, avoiding his gaze bashfully.“I… I wanted to thank you.” “Interesting,” he leaned into his seat, lips curling into a smirk. The intensity of his gaze had me shifting from foot to foot. “Thank you for helping me out today,” I finally got the words out. “Words are not enough, doll,” he drawled, getting off his seat. He closed the gap between us and my nerves went haywire.The classroom suddenly felt like an enclosed space with limited oxygen. His hands tr
LORRAINE'S POVThe last few hours had me restless. It had nothing to do with my conflicting feelings. It was my wolf. For some reason, she was pacing in my head. At this point, I was missing her silent nonchalant self. At least then, it let me have some peace. I tossed from one side of my bed to another until eventually I got up and decided to take a walk. She wanted to go somewhere, not just the garden outside the manor. I hoped it was only for fresh air and not too far away from the manor because it was already dark.I strained my eyes to see in the dark, hoping to catch anything that posed a threat so I could run but my wolf didn't care. It just wanted to get to a certain place in its mind. She skillfully kept this one from me so I couldn't even know if it was dangerous or not, I couldn't even refuse. As I walked down the street, I suddenly heard a snarl behind me. My entir
LORRAINE'S POVAlpha Gordon wanted to see me? Why?The last time he saw me, he humiliated me in every way he could think of, and now he suddenly wanted to see me.My guts were against it. Something was fishy about the whole arrangement.“Get in, Lorraine,” Jayden urged. “I… I can't. Your father doesn't like me so why would he suddenly want to see me?” I asked then my mind took me back to what happened to their fiancees.Did they report me already? Is that why he wanted to see me? So he could punish me for humiliating his future daughter-in-law?There was no way I was going to take that chance. Jayden got out of the car. “Lorraine, this is our chance to be together, please. We have been trying to convince him to call off the engagement for weeks and now he finally agreed to meet you, you don't want to come?” He asked me. “Is… is that really why he wants to see me? Not because Grace
LORRAINE'S POV I love you, Lorraine. The words echoed in my head until I got home and I couldn't keep the smile away from my lips. That was probably the best part of lunch. I met Hector at the front porch when I returned and his eyes dropped to my lips immediately. I unconsciously touched them and his focus returned to my face. “I'm guessing it went well,” he said dryly. “Their father was borderline disturbing but I guess I could live with that,” I answered. “I'm sure you can,” he retorted and I frowned. “Why did you say it like that?” I asked. “Nothing. Go in and rest,” he said dismissively. I facepalmed mentally. I shouldn't have told him that. He wouldn't be happy knowing I was having lunch with my mates whose father possibly accepted me. “Hector I'm so…” “Please just go in, Lorraine. Don't say anything else.” I respected his wish and entered inside. I couldn't deny that I did feel something for him. Something beautiful. But what I felt for the
CHLOE'S POVAm I shameless?Probably.Did I regret it?Absolutely not. But I knew I should. This man wanted Lorraine and I encouraged her to choose him over the twins. I'm not sure it counts anymore since she already chose the twins over him.But the lines between right and wrong were blurred by the alcohol in my system. The only thing I felt other than the lightheadedness was desire. Before he could say anything, I pressed my lips against his, giving him a taste of the ecstasy he was missing out on. My heart drummed against my chest as I prayed he wouldn't reject me again. It would break me if he did. He pulled away from me and I anticipated the inevitable rejection. “Chloe, you don't want to do this. You are just drunk and will certainly regret it the next day,” he told me.“Really?” I chuckled. “Is that written on my face cause I don't see how you could have possibly known that?” I climbed over the table, unceremoniously clearing everything in my path. He quickly grabbed the
LORRAINE'S POVI had no right to get angry but I was. Angry and betrayed. That the one who professed to love me was in the arms of the one encouraging me to choose him. My best friend!The ache in my heart was seizing my breath at a rapid rate as she scampered off him. Hector got off his seat. While Chloe staggered, seemingly drunk, Hector seemed just fine to me. He held her firmly in his arms and walked towards me. I didn't want to believe that he took advantage of her. She was such a lightweight and tended to do stupid things when she was drunk. But that didn't make me less pissed.I should have known since they most likely slept together already. This could be their second or possibly umpteenth time together. I wouldn't know. It just hurt that she would do this right after she suggested that I be with him. “Lorraine…” she slurred. “It's you.” “Get her to bed. She's tired,” he said but my eyes dropped to the bulge in his pants. “Were you taking advantage of her?” I demanded
LORRAINE’S POVI couldn’t get the call with Jayden off my mind. Why didn’t I feel as excited as I should have when he confused his love for me? Why did it feel so empty when I said it back? I was supposed to love them with everything. Heart, body and soul, yet when I spoke to them last night, it felt like I was detached from them somehow.I tried not to overthink it. It was probably the shock of seeing Chloe and Hector together. Today, I went to her room with soup for her hangover. I was shocked to see her bed empty. I looked out of her window which was still shut to confirm if her car was still in the driveway and it was. Where in heaven’s name could she have gone to so early? Without her car too!I dropped the soup and covered it properly before cleaning her room. I returned to my normal morning chores and soon it was time for breakfast. The Alpha and Luna came down for breakfast but there was still no sign of Chloe.I t
