Mark?! Jason exclaimed as he watched the guy walk into the room and towards them with a smile."Alpha Aiden is also here? What a pleasant surprise." Mark said, spreading his arms wide in excitement as if he were about to hug Aiden, but before he could touch him, Jason came in between them."What are you doing? Get back!" Jason placed his hand on his chest to push him backwards, to which Mark also pushed his hand away. "What's wrong? I'm only greeting the alpha. I haven't done anything wrong." He said, smiling, while his eyes were on Aiden.Aiden was also looking at him, but he did not say a word. Instead, he turned to Elliott. "Looks like I'll leave now. Have a great evening." He wouldn't stay another second in the same space as Mark. He didn't know why he was at the party, but he knew he was up to no good."I'm sorry, Alpha." Elliott replied. Anyone could tell by his expression that Mark came uninvited.He was about to leave the table when Mark almost held his arm. "Touch me, and I'l
He sat in the backseat of the car with Eric, who was sitting in the driver's seat, as they both waited for Amelia to come back with Jason. The only thing on his mind was how to finally let go of the omega.He knew he was doing unreasonable things that needed to stop immediately. He couldn't believe he went with her to a party just so his brother wouldn't. "It all needs to end tonight." He thought, but remembered what Liam had told him. He needed to test if it was possible to sleep well beside her.He walked into the house, past the foyer in the house towards the stairs. He knew he had to say it. Even if he let her go, he should at least try if it was possible. He looked back at her and saw her also gazing at him, but before he could talk, he heard, "About the dress. I'll get it washed and returned to you tomorrow.""Let's sleep together." He said, ignoring whatever she just said about the dress. He saw the way she was staring at him as if trying to process what he had just said.Sudde
The next morning,"What nonsense are you saying? Aren't you supposed to wake the alpha up? How are we supposed to clean the building?" Ms. Jones screamed at Amelia, who only bent her head in silence. The maids had been waiting all morning for the alpha to go for his jog, but strangely, his personal maid said he was still sleeping."That's enough! All of you should go back to the quartets." The new housekeeper said to Ms. Jones and the other maids, who looked like they were ready to pounce on Amelia. They weren't angry about her not waking the alpha, but they had been angry since last night when they saw her in an expensive dress."She needs to be punished. Does she know how much of her time she has wasted?" Ms. Jones said again, pushing Amelia, but not too hard.Amelia kept trying to control her anger. She couldn't let the strange thing in her take over. She didn't understand how it was her fault that the Alpha wasn't awake yet. She could still remember how she had woken up to see he
At the savage home. Three people could be seen around a table having dinner. They were talking and laughing as they ate until the doorbell rang. "I'll get it. It must be the pizza I ordered." Valerie said as she quickly stood up to go open the door, but as she opened it, her smile changed back to a frown. "What the hell are you doing here?!" She screamed, which got the attention of her parents.They also stood up and walked towards the scene. "Who is it, Valerie?" Gary asked, but also frowned when he saw who it was."Amelia?! What are you doing here?" Gary asked, surprised, but instead of Amelia responding to their greetings, she said with a low voice. "Good evening.""What's good about the evening? Didn't you hear what I just asked you? What the hell are you doing here?!" Her father screamed. She looked up at him before looking at Valerie and her mother, who were standing beside each other, staring at her. "I was fired.""Fired?" Gary scoffed before taking a step forward towards her
In Alpha Aiden's house.He couldn't sleep at all the whole night. No matter how he tried to control himself, he kept thinking about her. "Exactly why I don't want her in this house again." He said to himself. He felt it was probably because of the sleep that he kept thinking about it, and he knew it would stop after some days.He got ready for work and left his room, but as he walked through the hallway, he saw her room open. He looked at the door for some time before walking away. "Good morning, Alpha." Eric, who was waiting for him in the living room, greeted him, to which he answered."Good morning. Get my breakfast delivered to the office," he said. Eric also nodded. He wondered why the Alpha would want to eat in the office when he had a maid who could prepare his food, but he didn't think too much about it. He just walked out of the room to get the car ready.In the office.He got himself busy with work after he finished eating his breakfast. He didn't even bother to pick up Jas
"What's going on here?" Gary asked as he entered the room with a man behind him.Valerie ran to her father with tears in her eyes. "Didn't you see the news that had been going around? Amelia has deceived us all." She cried, knowing how much her father hated seeing her cry."Don't cry, Val. Talk to me. What news?" Gary asked, looking from Amelia back to Valerie."Just look at her neck." Gary also walked towards Amelia, who just bowed her head a bit. He was shocked to see a mate mark on her. "She was marked, dad." Valerie said before giving her dad her phone to check the article.The article reads: The omega seduced the alpha of the shadowmoon pack.Gary looked at her and asked quietly. "What is the meaning of this, Amelia?""Please, I can explain. I didn't seduce him. I was mated to him." Amelia said with tears. She knew there was no reason to hide again. But Valerie just scoffed. "You liar! You were mated to him? Can you listen to yourself? Wait a second. Did you also get admission t
The next morning, she opened her eyes slowly and stayed in the same sleeping position before memories of last night started playing in her head. Never did she expect he could come to save her. "Or maybe he just came because he felt the bond?" She thought, touching her neck slowly. She found it hard to understand why the mark was still there.Nevertheless, she was still happy he saved her and allowed her to come back to the house, even though she felt embarrassed that he witnessed such a scene of her father.She rose from bed. Despite having slept for a long time, she still felt tired. She checked her phone and realized it was almost ten in the morning. "Oh my goodness! How could you sleep for so long?"She was back at the Alpha's house, and the only thing she could start with was to wake up late. "I hope he doesn't get angry." She said before she quickly ran to the bathroom, but her eyes caught sight of the grey gown she had worn to the party with him on the chair. She packed it and p
She sat down opposite the Luna while looking down at her toes and rubbing her sweaty hands together. She knew her eyes were on her.She couldn't move or look at the woman. How would she explain the situation to her—that it was a mistake she got mated to her son. She just hoped the woman would spare her life."Here is the water, Luna." The housekeeper said as she gave the Luna a glass of water. "Do you need anything else?""I'm fine. You can leave." The housekeeper also bowed her head before leaving the room.For about some minutes, the air was eerily silent until Amelia heard. "So that's why you covered your neck with a scarf?"Amelia looked up at her, only to see her sipping water with an unreadable expression. She quickly looked back down without a word. She didn't even know what to say."What's your name?" She heard, to which she also replied with her head still bowed. "Ame… Amelia savage.""OK, Amelia. Is it true you seduced my son just as the news stated." Amelia thought she hear
He got home late in the night. He entered the house to see Carrie sitting in the living room, pressing her phone. "Aiden, you're back." She stood up to hug him as he walked towards her.Aiden just stood without wrapping his arms around her. He pushed her back gently. "It's late. You should be in bed already.""I was waiting for you. Change first and come back downstairs to have dinner."He stopped in his tracks. There was only one person that do wait for him to have dinner, no matter how late he was, and he didn't even eat it often. Everything happening to him kept reminding him of her. She would leave soon, and he wouldn't see her again. That was what he wanted, but why does it make his heart feel heavy? Thinking about it made him feel so uncomfortable. Without looking at Carrie, he said. "I don't like eating dinner this late. Good night."She watched him until she couldn't see his back view anymore. She scoffed angrily. "You have nowhere you can run to, Aiden. You're only mine."
"Is this the time you wake up every morning? Starving hungry? What is he paying you for when you can't wake up early to cook breakfast?" Carrie asked, folding her arms in front of her chest. She sounded angry at the same time, smiling. Her actions could make anyone confused.Amelia walked slowly towards her. "Oh my goodness! Your neck. You're the girl. Pardon me for my mistake. I mistook you for a maid." She said, covering her mouth with her hands as though she were surprised.She stretched her hand towards Amelia in a handshake. "I'm Carrie Wills." But before Amelia's hand could touch hers, she moved her hand away, making Amelia's hand hang in the air."I didn't expect this. You don't look like anything I imagined." She said, looking at Amelia from her head to her toes. "That was why I mistook you as a maid. You're a maid. There is nothing to apologize for." Carrie laughed.Amelia was so angry. She was shocked when she saw a lady in the living room as she walked down the stairs. She
He paced up and down in the lobby as the doctor attended to her. Not too long later, the door opened, and a doctor came out of the room.He hurried towards the doctor. "How is she, and the baby?""They're both fine. Your wife inhaled a lot of smoke, but she's fine. Please monitor her more. She's in a delicate state." The doctor smiled.Aiden did not say anything. He felt relieved that she and the baby were okay. Ever since he learnt about the baby, he had changed. He wasn't sure he was ready to be a father, but he didn't want to abandon his unborn child. For the past week, he would create time to accompany Carrie to the hospital. He was ready to do any tests and attend any lesson. He's cold, and he's angry at Carrie, but he wouldn't abandon his child.He wanted to correct the doctor that she wasn't his wife, but he let go of it. What would he say she is to him? Girlfriend? Mate?"Can I go in?" He asked, to which the doctor nodded.He opened the door and walked into the room. She was m
It was her mid-exam week. She focused on reading and writing her exams well. Seeing the magazine with Aiden finally got her to sort out her thoughts. She wouldn't be selfish to separate and destroy someone's family. He will soon be a father, and it's only right that she keeps her distance. She had been planning to move out immediately after she sorts the breaking of the mate bond between them. She had finished her exams, and a few days later, it was Christmas. She didn't even have plans for how to celebrate it. Aiden was right. It was for humans. She sat in her room all day on Christmas Eve. Vera called her on Christmas Day for ice skating. She wanted to reject the offer, but she felt it was too much for her to say. She couldn't reject the Luna. She also felt she would feel okay if she left the house.There were a lot of people in the skating field, but despite that, it was fun. Vera was grazing the floor while Amelia kept trying to balance herself, but she kept falling.Vera made
He waited for her to say something, but nothing was coming out of her, not even a movement. He continued. "She came back around three weeks ago. And..." he found it hard to say. "She's pregnant."The towel she was holding around her body fell to the ground. As if the revelation of her coming back wasn't enough, she's pregnant.He had met her three weeks ago, and she's now pregnant. He had been distant. Is it because of her? Because he had seen and reunited with his first mate."You... you're going to be a father?" She asked.He nodded. "It's complicated... She's still my mate." Hearing this, she couldn't hide her tears anymore. It felt like her heart ripped into pieces. He said she was his mate. What about her? Tears ran out of her eyes. She tried to wipe it off, but it didn't stop. The girl who had left him was back. She didn't know about her, but she heard rumours. His first mate. And now soon-to-be mother of his child. She was back to take her place. She was just a substitute. Th
He couldn't breathe, couldn't think. All he could do was sit there with his eyes closed, surrounded by the suffocating silence of the water.He was confused and frustrated. It was a Friday, and he was supposed to be at work, but he had to take a break, especially after what he heard last night.He was trying to solve the matter of the two fated mates at hand when another came in. He wasn't even sure he was ready to be a father, especially after the issue with Carrie. She left him without a word, and he was still angry about that.Speaking of Amelia. She's also his mate, and even though he didn't want to understand how that was possible, a part of him didn't want to let her go. He wasn't sure of his feelings, but he knew he was attracted to her.He was still underwater when he suddenly heard a loud sound. Someone had entered the pool. He swam up to the surface, angry someone had the guts to enter his special pool. Just when he was about to get to the surface, he noticed the person was
"Alpha, Ms. Carrie is here to see you," Eric announced as he entered the room. He wouldn't have come to inform him, but since she works for the investee company, he had no choice.Aiden looked up at him. "Let her in." There was no reason to avoid her, especially after what had happened the night before."Yes, sir," Eric replied before leaving the room. After some minutes, a knock came from the door. He asked the person to come in, and she walked in. She wore a V-line neckline red dress that stopped on her thighs. "Good morning," she said with a smile, walking towards his chair. "Sit down." He said with no emotion, but Carrie still kept smiling. She sat in her chair opposite him. "How are you doing?" She asked. "What do you want? Did Mr. Bates send you here?" Aiden asked, but to his surprise, Carrie burst out into laughter. She flipped her hair to the back and asked. "Do I look like I'm here for business? I came here as Carrie, not Miss Carrie.""Then I'm busy. I don't have any time
"Who comes to a training facility this early morning?" Liam asked, looking around the empty room. He didn't get any reply from the guy, who was already sweating a lot because he had been hitting the punching bag for over an hour.Aiden suddenly called him to come, and he knew something was bothering him only for him to get there and be treated as if he was invisible. He asked him if he would box with him, but he declined. He left the hospital to join him, and he would go back to the hospital so he couldn't afford to destroy his clothes. Aiden, on the other hand, was wearing a shirt and suit pants, but still, he was in the ring boxing like he was training for a fight. To think he didn't even have a bath and was still in his last night's wear. Finally, he stopped. He removed his boxing gloves and left the ring. Liam handed him a bottle of water as he took a seat beside him.He also took it and drank it until he almost emptied the bottle. "Do you feel okay now?" Liam asked, but Aiden
The next morning, they didn't see or meet each other, not to mention eat breakfast. He went to work as usual and did his normal routine, even though he still couldn't get the thoughts of having two mates out of his mind. He didn't understand why Carrie would just come back after a few months and still be his mate. He never rejected their bond, but he never thought the bond might still be there when he had already marked Amelia. He didn't know what he could do even though he and Amelia had planned to break the bond. He was uneasy with the thought of it. And even if he breaks the bond with Amelia, he can't act like things are fine with Carrie.He stopped working when Eric came to inform him it was time to leave for the party. Work had ended hours ago, but he stayed back in the company to attend the party, and he was uncomfortable going home.The party was held at a big hotel in the city. He walked into the large room filled with different people, dressed in different classy suits and
