(Kennedy's POV)Jerry stared at me, his mouth agape, as his fingers still clung to a roll of bandages. I leaned back on the couch, letting the astonishment sink into his system."We'll be married," I repeated, tugging the corner of my lip up in a smirk.Jerry blinked several times rapidly as he adjusted his glasses, "Married?! Did she-she agree to that? Alina?!”"She didn't say no," I said, leaning forward now, my elbows on my knees. "I asked her, and she said yes."Jerry snorted, shaking his head as he sat down on the stool beside me. "I don't know whether to congratulate you or tell her to run.”A low growl rumbled my stomach and I glared at him. "Careful, Jerry.”He threw his hands up in mock surrender, yet laced his face with doubt. "Look, Alpha, I don't doubt your intentions, but Alina… She's been through so much. Think this is what she wants?""I know it's what she needs," I returned, firm.Jerry let out a deep sigh, his temples circling. "And as to what you did to her last nigh
(Kennedy's POV)The room was dark, the pale light of the moon peeping through the thin curtain. The sweet musky smell of lavender permeated into the air—her smell. I stood just inside the doorway, watching her.She had just come from the bath and was still wet. A film of damp hair outlined her shoulders, framing an oval of tender face. Droplets shone upon her skin outlined around the collarbone, sliding along the bend in her arms. An easy gown, clung to her like a second skin, tracing every soft fall and rise in her figure.My throat caught; my desire coiling low in my stomach. I made an act of will to stay right where I was, my hands curling into fists at my sides.Her head jerked toward me, her eyes slit in the silent question of my presence. "What are you doing here?" her expression seemed to say, accusation and curiosity mingling in her gaze.I said nothing but couldn't help a little smirk. For an answer, I silently crossed the room and plopped myself down on the edge of her bed,
(Alina Pov)The gentle call of his pet name to me sounded like heaven no matter how I wanted to deny it. The gentleness of his voice and pleadings did a lot to my heart, wanting me to cave in, but I didn't want to give in, I can still remember the first time, and even If I enjoyed it, it still left a scar in my heart, he had forced me, but—“Please, I want you so much~ I Promise I will be gentle, Hmmh?~Now I know I can't hold it anymore. His last sound sounded so sexily and hoarse making my body go numb, I can feel the tightness of my pussy, and the wetness. I feel ashamed of the fact that my body reacted to his touches and the sound of his voice. I didn't say anything, even if I was burning with wants and needs. I stayed still in his arms, with my back to him, hoping he would know what I wanted.Then he chuckled, “I understand.” Then he hugged me tighter, his hot palm caressed my cheeks, then I felt his gentle and soft lips on my neck, then a soft bite, gentle and tingling making
~Kennedy’s Pov~My breathing was uneven as I slipped out of her gently, then hugged her making our sweaty bodies pressed together. I felt her move uncomfortably, so I kissed her shoulder and sat up with her before carrying her up. She immediately put her hands around my neck as she froze in surprise, her wet and red eyes looked at me with accusations which made her look so beautiful and cute. “Let's get you washed up. You —She didn't allow me to finish and was already clamoring to get down which made a frown appear on my face. I tightened my arms around her and raised my eyebrows in question. “I will take a bath myself, you don't need to help me with that, I am not a kid!” She said sukingky through the mind link which made me burst out in laughter. “What's going on in that little brain or yours? I won't do anything to you, just shower and go to sleep.” I ignored the fire-spitting from her eyes and walked to the bathroom. When I told her I wouldn't do anything, I wasn't lying tho
~Alina Pov~The disturbing but comforting morning sun on my face woke me up from my sleep, even if I loved the idea of sleeping in, but remembering my goal, I sat up immediately but realized I was the only one here, and on the other side of the bed was emptiness. I unconsciously used my hand to caress the bed, and then my mind drifted to the intimacy we had yesterday. He had been so gentle yesterday and I had felt it deeply and my body had craved more of it. The mate pull keeps making me submit to him, even when my heart and mind say No, my body never listens to me and does whatever it likes. I sighed and left the bed, then realized I was naked, but since no one was there, I went to the bathroom to take my bath. I can feel energy running in me and I feel motivated even if I don't know why, but I love this spirit as I know it will keep me moving. I got dressed in one of the many comfortable clothes bought for me by Kennedy which were suitable for training, then packed my hair in a
~Alina Pov~The training went on for hours without stopping but I couldn't complain, he wouldn't let me say anything as immediately I stopped, I heard scoldings and being hit in the back. Immediately I heard him say “Enough!” I had to stop myself from cheering, I was famished, and when I looked at the smirk on his face, I wished I could bash his face and destroy his wicked mouth. During this hour of training, he had called me an insulting name. Always saying I seduced their Alpha, and I used my beauty in seducing Kennedy, meanwhile, it's the other way round_ But wait?! Other Way Around? I haven't been seduced! It's the mate bond controlling my darm body! I don't need love! I don't need it! All I want is revenge, to save my parents, and to live a good and simple life with them. Yes! That's it! I watched as Gregor walked closer to me with a smirk on his face as he held a gauge of water, then he had the heart to drink it all in front of me, then turned around as he left arrogantly.“
~Alina Pov~We turned to the girl who barged in rudely and I was shocked to find out it was the lady I met on my way to the bakery. Dressed in a red blazing gown, with a scowl on her face she rushed to our side angrily. I looked at her and then looked at Utopia who seemed stressed at the sight of the lady. I raised my eyebrow in curiosity, then smiled mischievously as I got half of the gist. “Utopia! I am talking to you!” She yelled with anger as her eyes turned to look at me in disdain making me wonder if I did anything wrong to annoy the lady. I was supposed to be the angry one here. “Can you stop acting like a lunatic? If you want to keep acting like a shrew then get the fuck out of here! Besides, what business do you have with knowing who she is?” Utopia's angry words shocked me and it seems the girl feels the same. This is the first time seeing Utopia angry. He had always been calm and fun. He faces everyone with a smile just like his mum. But for him to act this way, then i
~Alina’s PovMy heart went still for a moment when it was all settled in my head. When I came back to my senses I saw both Utopia and Aunty looking at me in confusion, their eyes asking me questions I had no answer to, so I only shook my head at them. Utopia looked at the still Naggy Samara, then twitched his mouth as he asked, “Wait! You said you are getting Engaged to who?” We all looked at her, and even if I tried to hide it, I wanted to know what was going on.“Oh! That?— You feel worried now? Huhn?” “Yeah, Yeah! I feel worried and jealous, so tell me What do you mean? Who do you say you are getting engaged to?” Utopia asked urgently after satisfying her ego. She smiled but looked confused at his answer, then she looked at him like she was determining if he was telling the truth. “Alpha Kennedy! My family is about to set an engagement with him, and that is why I came to—The rest of her words didn't register in my brain because it had been shut down. My head felt heavy, my hea
~Alina Pov~I felt the burn on my neck. My body shivered in pain and pleasure. I felt my blood go cold and at the same time warm.He had caught me unaware of the marking. Though this was the second time he was doing it, the pain and sensation still felt new, just that I didn't feel pain for long like the first time and I also felt more sensations. Marking is just like being intimate. Painful at first but when your body gets used to it, you will only feel comfortable. My mother had explained all this to me as she thought I was soon going to be Marcus’ Wife, but as fate has it, I am stuck with this annoying and possessive Alpha. “You are distracted!” He bit my cheek with annoyance as he complained. Then I felt a kiss on my neck in the exact place my mate Mark was.His tongue lick the mark and then he sucked there. I felt my body go numb, and not able to control my hands, I rubbed his neck and then down to his back. I won't deny how much I miss him, how much my body craves for him.
~Kennedy Pov~Her body went stiff at my question, and then she tried releasing herself from my arm but I hugged her tighter. I raised her head with my finger under her chin, then looked into her evading eyes. A weak smile formed on my face as I looked at her wet pulsed lips. She is so beautiful.I had felt the sensation of her fingers on my body but I was so weak and couldn't open my eyes. Her hand stayed so long and I could feel the heavy beating of her heart, and that alone forced my eyes open.“I miss you so much,” I said, ignoring the fact that she didn't answer me.Then removed my fingers from my chin, then rubbed her head as I forced my eyes open, “Don't leave, Okay? I just need a little sleep.” I didn't wait for an answer before I lost consciousness but I saw her worried frown—Is she worried about me? ************************I groan softly as I open my eyes to a dark room with only a little light coming in from the candle on the table. I looked around in search of o
~Alina pov~It's been four days since Kennedy left the pack. And my body was getting better as I had been taken care of so well by Jerry. Our conversation that day had been roaming my mind as I thought so hard about it but since he didn't mention it anymore, I put it aside, and besides, it involved Kennedy and might put him in danger which I won't accept! I hadn't seen Gregor for days and my wolf had been in deep sleep since the day it came out. I can't talk to it or know if it's okay which is worrying. But I know what I have to focus on is us getting better because according to Jerry, Kennwdy will be back soon. I wonder if he met anyone from the Silvercrest pack—Maybe Marcus. But why am I thinking about them again?!I slapped my head in frustration, as I frowned from the pain. I had been thinking about so many things from the past, especially of my parents which made me wonder if they were okay and holding on. I just need three months, all I need is three months to arrange every
,~Kennedy Pov~My body shifted as I made my move on them. It was chaotic as my men followed as they also joined in the fight.I moved sharply, my wolf growling as it attacked the leader of the other side. He went into defense when he saw me attack, my paws went straight at his heart which he dodged, and then I landed steadily in front of him.I growled loudly with command as I moved the second time, this time making sure I hit him and though he dodged it, it still managed to pierce his stomach. I heard him growl painfully then it seemed he got more serious as he moved too.The fight got intense, and I got more and more serious as the fight went on. Then an hour later, I bit his leg as he was trying to escape and threw him to the side which made him hit the wall painfully. Then before he could stand, I head-butt his chin which forced it to fall again. Then I released my claw and dug it into his neck, I pushed my claw deeper inside and watched indifferently and coldly with an indiffe
~Kennedy's Pov~“Why?” I asked.She clenched her fist, “I need to save them! My friend is among the people they captured.”“I mean, why follow us? Don't you have a pack? Why wait until now before fighting?” I asked coldly with my lips pulsed. “No! I-i—I will make sure not to slow down your pace, can I come along with you?”I looked at Veronica who asked the question in confusion, then turned to look at Derek, signaled him to take care of this with a nod, and then left to attend to myself.The others woke up the man I had kept alive by pouring water on his face. Then forced him to take us to their hiding spot which he didn't resist but became obedient.Not surprisingly, Rogues have no loyalty, and all they are after is to stay alive, and they only choose a leader to follow if he is stronger. We kept walking, following the direction being pointed out by the rogue. “Never knew I was going to see my type of woman in this stupid place–” I turned to look at Derek who came to walk next to
~Alina Pov~“Don't worry he will finish things up fast. Those rogues are not as strong as they claim to be, they go around wanting to steal from the weak packs. Stupid wolves!” Jerry's voice brought me out of my daze. My head buzzed with the name I hadn't heard for a while now, but what I felt when I heard the name wasn't pain or fear, but determination and hate.I turned to Jerry who is now mixing herbs which I think will be used on me, I cleared my throat to get his attention. “Do you know the Silvercrest pack well? And how close are you with them?” I wrote, making sure my face remained indifferent, but only I knew how nervous I was inside. If Kennedy's pack is involved with the Sivercrest pack—What should I do?Jerry turned to look at me, raised his eyebrow in confusion, and then tilted his face to the side like he was thinking hard which made me think there were so many things involved.“Well? Who is the Silvercrest pack?!” His questions left me speechless as I looked at him w
~Kennedy’s Pov ~We moved so fast in our wolves as we rushed to our destination with me leading them at the front. I was still brooding about my fight with Alina this morning when Derek's voice linked through me, and I was so angry when I knew those rogues who had injured me the last time and had escaped were trying to make a big move, and their target was a small pack which I don’t even know if I hadn’t been told—The Silver Crest. According to my men, today was a day when they brought in foods and crops from outside and the rogues had set their eyes on them and wanted to steal their food and they were so ruthless they might kill them. But that's not the reason for my anger, what they do with a pack is none of my business, I am not that less busy to save every pack they attack, and if they can't even save themselves then why build a pack? “It's here, Alpha!” Derek's voice sounded which stopped me from moving forward, then I shifted back to human form. I was still wearing the same
~Alina POV~I felt faint but I still managed to stand as I knew I couldn’t stay there for long. But my body was so weak I couldn’t stand for long. Talk more about taking a step. I used the wall as a support as I slid up, and then the pain in my back increased and I couldn't stop the coldness that attacked me.My throat felt dry suddenly and I could taste something familiar but almost forgotten in my mouth, then the cough attacked me and when I opened my mouth, what came out was blood, now I knew how serious this was. Seems I had done too much, especially my throat which I am still hoping will heal. “Goodness!” My eyes watered from the pain I felt but I endured it and took a step forward, then another step as I walked to the opening. It was getting dark and I still hadn’t eaten anything but I knew what I needed right now was treatment, and that is what got me confused. I don’t know where to go, as I knew Kennedy would later find out which is what I never want him to know. But I have
~Alina pov~I felt my backbone crack, I couldn't shout, I couldn't scream, and my throat only made noises. It was so painful, Gregor's angry voice faded away as I felt I was in space and all I could feel was the anguishing pain in my back. My eyes watered and tears fell, then I gasped loudly and tried regulating my breaths, and that was when I could hear his vicious voice again. “When will you go away?! When will you just leave? He got angry with my family because of you and even almost killed my sister all because she called you Mute, but isn't she telling the truth?!” He asked mockingly, then bent down and raised his hand to pat my cheeks heavily, but I couldn't turn around to look at him, my back pain was overwhelming and I could feel the goosebumps, but I stayed still, I was waiting for something— “And you slapped my sister? What gave you, a lowly woman to dare slap her? You think I had let go of what you did? Do you think because Ken is supporting you, you can do anything and
