Alexander opened his eyes with a gasp and found out that he was all alone in the old, abandoned building. He was tied up to the chair he had sat on. There was not a single soul around, and it seemed everyone had left since, with Vanessa. He looked towards the corner and found his phone close to the wall. The phone was ringing, and he stretched himself to look closer and he found that it was Elliott calling. He shifted into his wolf form, ripping off his clothes and the rope tied around him.He shifted back to his human form, and stumbled on his feet as he tried to reach out to his phone, he stood up back and picked up his phone. He answered the call and placed the phone on his ear."Come to the old, abandoned building in the woods, at the outskirts of the pack. Bring clothes and water along with you," Alexander said. His breath was shaky, and Elliott was about to say something, but Alexander was not interested in hearing it and cut the call.Alexander stood there, running his fingers
Alexander sat alone in the living room, his head bowed low and his fingers clenched when a familiar scent filled his nostrils. He looked up in confusion and followed the scent, trying to find where it was coming from. He could never mistake that scent– the scent of his beloved.He quickly got out of the living room and then to the courtyard outside. He tracked the scent out to the side of the mansion and found Zoey. She looked quite disheveled and out of breath as she kept panting uncontrollably. Alexander wondered what she was doing in his pack, but that's not what caught his attention. Standing next to Zoey was Vanessa. She was also panting, as though they had run for way too long."Alexander," Vanessa quickly rushed over to his side and hugged him lovingly. "I've missed you so much," she said, whining like a little child."I missed you too, but how did you come back? Why is Zoey here too?" Alexander asked as he got out of her embrace."Well, I found out that Lynx had captured Vanes
Vanessa lay motionless on the bed, her face pale and her breath fading away. Alexander sat down beside her and held her hand, it was cold, way too cold and he rubbed it in an attempt to generate some heat.Zoey watched them from the doorway, her face a mask of fret. She fidgeted with her hand and her phone, and would occasionally glance at Alexander's direction.It felt like forever before Alexander heard the sound of a car pulling up outside the mansion. He rushed to the window, and saw an older woman in doctor's attire getting out of the car. Margaret was here.He let out a sigh of relief, feeling a little bit of tension leave his body. He turned to Zoey still standing on the doorway waiting for the next thing to do."Go usher her in," Alexander said quickly.Zoey nodded and quickly ran down the stairs. Alexander moved back to Vanessa, squeezing her hand gently. "Help is here, Vanessa. Just hang on a little bit," he whispered, hoping she could hear him. As he waited for Zoey to esc
Alexander turned back to Margaret, his eyes wide in disbelief. "Why didn't we shift? What's happening?"Margaret's expression was grave as she spoke. "Alpha Alexander, when you called me, I was on my way to the altar where everybody was awaiting your presence. I found out that all wolves are in their human form, and I wasn't the only one who didn't shift," she explained.Alexander then realized that that was the reason why there were no guards and no maids around. "Are they still there," he asked."Yes. But, Alpha Alexander, there are way too many mysteries surrounding your unborn pup. I've had my doubts, but after thinking carefully, I'm sure this has a connection to the pup," Margaret said.Alexander tried to understand the gravity of Margaret's words. The idea that his pup was the only wolf to shift even inside the womb on the night of the full moon in the pack was both thrilling and confusing to him.Alexander leaned in closer to Margaret, his voice barely above a whisper. "What d
"Nooo!" In the midst of her torment, Vanessa jolted awake, drenched in sweat, her heart racing and pounding in her chest. Alexander was there, kneeling beside her on the bed, his face filled with worry. He had been shaking her, calling out her name, and trying to bring her back to reality."Vanessa, I'm here," he said urgently, his voice etched with concern. "Wake up, please. It was just a nightmare."Tears streamed down Vanessa's face as she clung to Alexander, her body trembling. "I didn't sin, Alexander. I didn't betray anybody," she sobbed, her voice filled with anguish. "He's wrong. I'm not a whore."Alexander held her tightly, his hand providing solace and reassurance. "It's okay, Vanessa. It was just a nightmare," he said under his breath. "You didn't sin, and you didn't betray anyone. I'm right here with you," he said, his voice soothing.As Vanessa gradually calm down. Alexander's concern shifted to her physical well-being. He touched her forehead gently, and his eyes showed
Zoey woke up with a smile on her face, feeling refreshed and ready for the day ahead. The sunlight peeped through the window, casting a warm, yellowish-brown light onto the room's floor.She couldn't wait to explore the mansion and see what the day had in store for her. Her mind still find it's way back to Lynx, but she convinced herself that it would be better if she didn't think of him at all.She stretched her hand above her head and yawned, then hopped out of the bed and move to the washroom.The tiled floor felt cool under her feet as she turned on the faucet, letting the water flow and fill the tub. She then carefully stepped into the bathtub, feeling the warm water envelope her body and enjoying the soothing sensation it brought.She washed her hair with the sweet-smelling shampoo, massaging her scalp gently. After a leisurely bath, she grabbed the towel, and stepped out of the bathtub. Feeling contented, she left the washroom, ready to start her day. Her first plan was to go
After walking down the corridors of the top floor, she finally located Vanessa's chamber. She knocked a few times but there was no response, just as she was about to leave. A voice came from inside, "come in."Zoey gently pushed the door open, and found Vanessa sitting on the bed."Hey, Zoey," Vanessa greeted her, her voice filled with warmth."Hi, Vanessa," Zoey greeted back as she walked to sit beside her."This mansion is so enormous that I feel lost until I saw a maid that directed me to your chamber. How are you? Are you okay? You look somehow down," Zoey asked.Vanessa sighed and turned to face Zoey fully. "I'm good, Zoey. It's just that I sometimes feel overwhelmed by everything. Alexander is very caring, and I feel secure around him. Like I could face any sort of challenge knowing that I have him by my side. But then, it's hard to believe that he truly care about me. What if he is doing all this just for his child's sake? What if he doesn't truly care about me?"Zoey reached o
Zoey was in her room, she had heard about the upcoming conference and she couldn't help but feel a mix of curiosity and nervousness about it.Her mind drifted to Elliott and wondered why her path kept intertwining with him whether she liked it or not. And she found it quite annoying.She plopped down on her bed, throwing a fit and letting out all the frustration she had pent up inside. She cursed under her breath, calling Elliott all sorts of names. "That darn bully! What does he think of himself," she muttered angrily. Feeling suffocated by her own anger, she realized she needed some fresh air. She swung open the door of her room, only to find Elliott standing there, looking at her with a raised eyebrow as though asking why she looked that disheveled."Urgh, my goodness. What are you doing here now?" Zoey snapped, her anger bubbling to the surface again. "Were you peeping and eavesdropping on me?" she asked while glaring at him.Elliott shook his head, a bemused smile playing on hi
