(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 ~ A YEAR AND HALF LATER… I sat in front of the mirror with Omegas running about in my room, I stared tiredly at my bare face in the mirror. I am so tired! I hadn’t rested the night before as Klaus had been a disturbance and even if Kennedy had taken care of him last night, I still felt tired. That little guy is a little devil, he wouldn’t sleep at night and always wanted to play when everyone was sleeping. I gritted my teeth thinking of how Kennedy and his son just wouldn’t shut up and kept mumbling and laughing at night when I was asleep and now this —It’s my wedding and I have to be dressed but if I am to choose, I will go bare face in a simple dress. “Luna! Do you want this head jewel or that?!” An omega asked happily. I looked at the two pieces in front of me and sighed, “This!” I said loudly choosing the Blue one. Yes, I restored my voice two months ago, but it was a hard process. Kennedy became weaker after that and it’s said he would only go back to his peak
~Kennedy Pov~ Days had passed since the battle. I had killed and destroyed the Silvercrest pack and as for the aftermath, it’s something I have been handling for days. My men had found out about the packs that had collided with Richard and I had them go ahead to annihilate them but I kept those people. I planned to rebuild the Northern pack and make it wider so it could contain more members.I stood up after the meeting and then hurried towards home. I still haven’t been able to hug or meet with Alina since the battle and I don’t know how she is as she hasn’t come to look for me which is strange. I walked towards our home but when I got home, I was told she wasn’t indoors which made me frown. I closed my eyes and tried to reach her and my eyes lit up with happiness after being able to link with her. “Alina!” I called out excitedly. “Where are you?!” I asked anxiously. I wanted to see her right now and hug her to sleep as I hadn’t rested for a long time. “Kennedy…Can you come to th
~Kennedy Pov~ I looked at the cocky Alpha Richard with a look of disdain on my face, I turned and looked around and saw the Northern Warriors had been surrounded by the warriors of Silvercrest who had suddenly appeared, I laughed softly because I had expected it.I looked at my warriors who looked ready to risk it and none looked afraid to lose their life on this battlefield and it filled me with pride. I nodded then turned to look at the idiot in front of me.“Surrender?” I asked then shook in my head I regret, “I have never been the one to surrender especially to weak people. You should have heard about me right?” I asked then watched his cocky face become angry then he calmed down and returned to his usual fake smile but with the blood all over him, he looked anything but gentle. My eyes were cold and Ruthless as I waited for him to utter his rubbish.“Alpha Kennedy, the truth is I have always been wowed by your level of strength and I had always wanted to compete with you and to
~Alina Pov~ I watched as Kennedy led the Wolves Warriors to battle. I watched him with a hot gaze, even if I had faith in my man I still couldn't help but be worried. I don't want him to be injured again. He had just recovered and I wouldn't want him to go unconscious again as that would drive me crazy. I bit my lips as I watched the gate close but I didn't move from the gate and guided it with the other soldiers. I know I couldn't do much but I know the sight of me will calm the non fighters down. My parents had disagreed with me coming out but I had been stubborn. My child is a strong one and he should know the kind of family he came from but I wouldn't put him in danger. I wouldn't fight but I can also use my brain.I pulsed my lips and looked towards the battleground but I could only see the backs of a few of them. After waiting till late at night and the sounds of growls could still be heard, my father walked towards me and then handed me a loaf of bread and water. I looked at
~Kennedy Pov~ “BOOM!!” The sound of something blowing up sounded in my pack which woke up the warriors from the daze. It was just early morning and the warriors had been resting as they had just finished training. My eyes narrowed as I stood on top of the pack in the highest place where we fought battles when intruders attacked. I shifted into my wolf form and stood there vigilantly with eyes as dark as the night watching the thousands of wolves match my territory like it was nothing to them and they were bound to win. I let out a loud growl that shook the whole pack, waking everyone up and letting the ordinary wolves be prepared. Even if they were just members of the pack and wouldn’t be fighting I had to make them aware that the yoke had come and they must prepare themselves. I looked back and saw Alina standing far away in black armor and sharp eyes that looked so fierce. She stood protectively in front of the gate guiding the whole pack. I smiled gently at her then I let out
~Kennedy POV~Days passed peacefully but tense. The pack was filled with soldiers training for the unexpected. I walked into the huge meeting room and sat down coldly. I looked around with my cold eyes and saw all the important generals and commanders in the room with others with important positions, I nodded in satisfaction then I saw Jerry sitting in the middle. “How is Derek?!” I asked coldly which froze the already frozen air. They gulped and looked at one another then Dean stood up and bowed respectfully, “Alpha! He has been silently staying in the prison and doing fine but he wouldn’t say a word no matter how we asked.” he said and I narrowed my eyes and tapped my finger on the chair in deep thought. I pulsed my lips then nodded, “Oh..” I said then looked around with piercing eyes, “How is it going?!” I asked sharply.Dave stood up and walked to the front, “Alpha! We found out something very important and interesting! And this will be the turnover!” He said with excitement wr
~Alina POV~ I looked at him in surprise, then furrowed my brows, but nodded as I could remember that day and what he had said clearly but I don’t know why he was repeating his words now. I smiled calmly at him and asked him to continue. He smiled gently and then snickered which made me glare at him.He raised his two hands in surrender, “Okay! Okay! I will say it. Just stop glaring at me.” He said then I rolled my eyes speechlessly.His face turned serious, “I told you then that method will put Ken in trouble and will endanger him. That’s because it will endanger him truly and he might die then but not now!” He said then without waiting for us to ask him to explain, he continued. “If he had forced his power to awaken then, he might blow up and bleed to death, but since it’s come naturally now, then you can surely be saved!” He said and I looked at him with shock.I can’t count how many shocks I have received today. And I don’t want to receive more of it. I looked at him with my mo
~Alina Pov~ We walked fast-paced towards the entrance, and when we got there, I ignored the look the man who had opened the door when I came in was giving me. All I want is to take my parents to meet Adana and solve all these problems. After leaving the hidden pack, I led the way and walked forward, my parents were still weak so they couldn’t change into their wolf form so I had to lead them this way. Though slow we later got to where I was going—Jerry’s place! I took my parents’ hands and walked towards his private pack healing house and knocked on the door, I kept knocking but I didn’t hear a response until I heard the door open with a loud noise. I came face to face with Jerry’s irritable face.I forced a smile but seeing the glare he sent my way, I became speechless then I saw two frames stand in front of me making me feel warm. My mum glared at Jerry so much that he flinched and scratched his head, “Baby, is this the way they treat you? And you are still nice to them?!” My mu
~Alina Pov~I stirred awake, I looked around in a daze then turned to look outside the window, and seeing it was already dark, I wasn't bothered and turned to look at Kennedy who was deep into his dreams.I leaned closer to him and kissed his forehead, then caressed the eye bag under his eyes. I know he is tired as he hasn't been resting but this was good too, he needs to rest. I sighed quietly then climbed down from the bed and picked up my clothes to wear. I did everything quietly and even I was shocked that Kennedy who had always been alert hadn't woken up, but I smiled gently as I knew he was only like this because he loves me. I tied my hair up, then looked at him deeply and walked out of the door. Immediately I locked the door, busted out, and ran downstairs then into the forest. While running I shifted into my wolf who feels better and energetic. My wolf ran towards the place where had come from this morning and I was glad I had put the setting and Lane in my heart so it was
