~Alina POV~I looked at him speechlessly. Then I glared at him which made him smile inwardly at me, but I ignored him and left him to go to the bathroom as I needed to take a bath.After the wash-up, I came out to see him sitting on the couch with a frown on his face.He looked deeply at me, “You know Alina… Sometimes no matter how strong you are- you can't fight alone. Why aren't you telling me where your parents are so I can help if they are facing difficulties? Besides, you have never told me who you are. Where is your pack?” I looked at his serious face and knew it was time to tell my story if I wanted to gain his trust. Besides, It is true I will be needing his help and can't do this alone.I looked at him and then turned to look out from the window, my eyes lowered, and then a bitter smile attached itself to my lips.“My parent is locked up in the prison for crimes they didn't commit—” I told him everything, except that the pack I was talking about was the Silvercrest pack. I
~Alina Pov~“Why?” Kennedy responded then turned to look at me with his eyebrow raised curiously.I glared at him with piercing eyes, and then my lips raised provocatively, “What? You don't want me to see your other woman?” His cold eyes glared at me but I didn't back down as I glared back at him then we cut it off after Jerry cleared his throat.“We are still here~” I rolled my eyes at him and then looked at Kennedy again and signaled him.“Where is the lady?!” He asked Derek. I looked at Derek who looked shocked at the question.“Alpha… Even if you don't like her, she still has to be kept alive. She is just a woman.” Derek stammered as he talked which got me speechless and confused.“Stop speaking nonsense and call her in!” Kennedy’s cold voice which was filled with warnings sounded making Derek shiver as he ran out.I sat calmly as I waited for the person to come in as I wanted to know who she was and if it was someone I knew. Thinking about it, my eyes turned cold as my lips cur
~Kennedy Pov~“What?!” My mind went blank when I heard her request. What the heck did she mean by wanting another man when I am here? I glared at her and held her shoulder angrily. “What do you mean by wanting Ben?!” “You are hurting me, Ken!” She shouted as she struggled to release herself from my hand and when I looked down I saw how tightly I held her which made me drop my hand like I was burned. My eyes flashed with guilt seeing her rubbing her arm. I looked at my hands irritatedly. I noticed my strength was getting out of control these days and I knew I needed to do something about it. I pushed my guilt aside, “Explain yourself, Alina!” “What's wrong with you Kennedy?! Can't you be gentle for once?!” Then she rolled her eyes and moved to sit on the bed then faced me with a serious look.“I need people I can command and who can help me. People who wouldn't look down on me and Ben seems to be that kind of person.” She said with bright eyes. I raised my eyebrow as I looked at
~Alina Pov~I looked at Kennedy's surprised face after I told him my observation. He furrowed his brows, “He doesn't have a sister? So who is she? And—” He paused as he narrowed his eyes coldly, “Are you saying this is all planned?” “Yes! However, I have no idea why and what they are trying to do. Besides, it's funny how she doesn't know me. And I haven't seen her before. I have been in the pack since I was born and I never knew the dead Alpha has a Daughter!” My eyes remained on him as we conversed through the mind link and if others were here, they would be confused with us just looking at each other.“Did they know you are here and they are trying to do something?” He asked with a scowl on his face and I could see how angry he was right now.I smiled and shook my head, “No! The more reason I want her to stay. I think they came for you because all this isn't a coincidence!” I said with confidence. He was surprised at first then burst out in laughter, but his aura was getting str
~Kennedy Pov~ I knew she was lying and things weren't as simple as she downplayed it. Something was going on and only Jerry could tell me. I could feel my anger rising thinking of another man knowing what was wrong with my woman while I was unaware. My wolf stirred inside me restlessly and I could understand he was feeling anxious at that moment. While I was talking to Alina, I felt his anxiousness, and when I asked him, I was shocked by what he said. Can't feel her wolf?! There could only be two reasons why I can't feel her wolf—Her wolf is either dead or badly injured and too weak. Seems Alina didn't know much about mating. The way I could read her emotions is the way my wolf could feel hers. We are connected both at heart and mind. Besides, I had felt something was wrong at Jerry's place. Why was she there? But During those times, even if I was speaking and acting normal, I wasn't conscious. My mind was a bit cloudy from the aftermath of using up my energy. Thinking of
~Kennedy Pov~ Her body stiffened at my question, but what annoys me the most is her silence. I felt irritated, “You always hide things from me like I am a monster. Not once have you let me into your life and heart. To you, I am just a mate and this is the reason we still haven't been able to truly become one.” I placed my finger on her back and caressed it gently and I knew what it did to her as I could feel her shivering under me. “Wh-what do you mean?”She Stammered. I chuckled coldly, “Have you ever felt my pain? Have you felt the feeling of truly being of one heart with me? I can feel your happiness, your pain and all, and even my wolf can feel yours, but can you say the same about you? Alina, you have truly never accepted me, right?” I asked cooly, then my fingers stopped moving on her back. My lips curled up, and my eyes cold and indifferent. Then I got down from the bed and stood in front of it, watching her sit up hurriedly and use the blanket to cover up her nakedness.
~Alina pov ~The morning sun on my face woke me up from my sleep. I stretched on the bed and looked out the window in a daze, then I remembered what happened yesterday, making me jolt awake. I looked around the room but didn't see any traces of Kennedy which surprised me. My mood went from bright to moody as I thought he might still be angry at what had happened yesterday which had made me sleep somewhere else. I signed softly, then sat up to go for my daily routine and that was when I noticed I wasn't feeling any pain in my back. My eyes lit up as I tried moving my back but felt nothing. I stood up immediately then walked to the mirror, and pulled off my nightwear but what I saw made me speechless. A green paste covered my back unevenly and I smiled gently as I knew no one else could do this except the “Great Alpha Ken”. Looking at how uneven and scattered he paced the medicine on my back, my shoulder shook in amusement but I felt warmth fill my heart. Even if he is angry with m
~Alina Pov~I could hear the sound of my heart beating so fast like a drum. It was not like he hadn't proposed to me before, and he has always been this crude but somehow, it's felt special today. His god-like face looked at me with nervousness he tried to hide but I would always detect it as he had always been plain in front of me and he just couldn’t hide how he felt.I smirked as I narrowed my eyes, “Are you threatening me?” He frowned then smiled as he turned me around, then hugged me from the back, “So what if I threaten you? You go nowhere. Either way, You are stuck with me even if you reject me. This engagement is just a formality, I want everyone to know you are the future Luna of the Whole Northern packs!” My body shivered and went numb both from his words and his breath on my neck. But more than that, I felt warmth filled my heart. I closed my eyes and then raised my hand to caress his flurry head which was placed on my shoulder. I looked at the sky from the window and t
~Kennedy Pov~I turned to look at Ben who had just spoken, I pulsed my lips and held in my disgust. I am not against the relationship between the same sex but I feel irritated knowing who held these feeling. I gritted my teeth and turned to look at Alina, “Is she aware?” I asked then cleared my throat which made Jerry look at me teasingly.“Yes, Alpha, She told us, but I think you both should have a talk when she awakens,” Jerry said and I nodded as I knew his suggestion was good. I remembered we fought that same night this happened, but that will be for later. My face turned serious as I looked at them, “Inform the others! Let's meet in the hall, you all can distribute the works to the warriors and let them clear the scene and also pacify the people in the pack!” I ordered them and without waiting for them to reply, I turned back and walked to Alina’s side then carried her in my arms before striding out.I pressed her face to my chest and made sure she was safe then I dashed out, I
~Kennedy Pov ~I smiled chillingly as I watched him crawl away with fear, then seeing him finally leave my sight, the smile on my face dropped and turned tense. I turned and ran to Alina’s bed to check on her and seeing her frown uncomfortable, I felt so distressed. I used my cloth to clean her sweaty head, I looked at her deeply and sighed as I knew though her wound had healed she was still feeling weak and pain inside. I pulsed my lips then made a decision, “It's not like it's the first time.” I muttered then bent down and buried my head in her neck. I kissed her neck then teased a spot with my teeth, and then sucked and licked the place making sure that spot was soft enough, “Sorry, mama…” I muttered then bit down on the spot. “Arggh..” She groaned painfully but then it turned to moan but her eyes remained closed. I stayed for a while and made sure a bit of my venom was siped into her body before pulling out. I looked at the renewed mark and felt proud of it. Then I stood up see
~Kennedy Pov~All I have been seeing is darkness for how long? I have no idea. It's like I have been trapped in a room and forced to absorb energy and that's all I do. I absorb everything given to me and I sometimes get lost in it until I feel something. There was always that calm sweetness that made me feel at peace even when I was about to lose control. Though I couldn't see what it was I know I didn't want toLet it go. I could feel the emotions of the person and my heart will always listen to the person. It feels like it's been months or years since I was trapped here and it has always been the only companion I have. There were also once when I lost control of my emotions but the feel of the person, the sensations I felt, the overwhelming feeling, and the release of some of my energy calmed me down and it was something I couldn't just forget. But today felt so strange, I wasn't feeling the emotion I was used to, I felt panic, the anger from the person which made me know the per
~Alina Pov~ I grinned, and though I knew he wouldn't be able to hear me, I still opened my mouth, as I knew he could read the shape of my mouth, “Idiot!” Then my wolf took over and I left her to do her thing as I know she has too much anger in her and she needs to let it out.Watching her from my subconscious, I felt amazed at how strong and elegant she stood. I was shocked when I heard her voice, it felt like a dream as I had thought I wouldn't hear her voice or see her again but she surprised me by showing up when I needed her the most.“Growll!” Her roar sounded powerful and she seemed stronger than ever. I watched as she looked at Marcus with disdain, she paced in front of him as if weighing his worth, and then she snorted with dislike before groaning lightly.“You have a bad taste!” I opened my mouth in shock at her words. Is she trying to insult me? But we are one.I chuckled delightfully, “Then I will throw that back to you. You forgot we are one, and you also chose him then.”
~Alina Pov~I woke up with a jolt as I heard loud noises. I sat up immediately and noticed I had slept on Kennedy’s body. I didn't have time to feel embarrassed as the loud noises I heard were getting loud and clear. My head went blank for a while, then I jumped up and ran to the window then what I saw surprised me, “What the hell!” I cussed and gritted my teeth as I saw intruders in the pack. How had this happened?! How were they able to come in?!I calmed myself as I couldn't panic, I needed to get dressed first. I rushed to Kennedy’s bed and raised him then put on his shirt and then rushingly put on his trousers, then I took the clothes I had worn yesterday and properly wore them, and that was when I heard a knock on the door. I stiffened at first but on hearing Jerry’s anxious voice, I rushed to open the door and I looked at Jerry who was sweating and had blood on his body. I looked at him and saw he was not injured, I breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at him anxiously.
8+~Alina Pov~I looked at him in confusion. Why is he looking at me that way? I thought then I saw him looking at me then pouting at Kennedy’s lower body with a flushed face.My brain went blank for a moment, “Little Kennedy? Fuck! Jerry!” I glared at him, then raised my hand to give him a blow on his face but he dodged it, and then I heard his laughter which made me angry.I looked at him with gritted teeth, “Is this the time to joke?! How dare you think about that at this moment?!” I gestured with annoyance. Then I pointed at Kennedy who seemed to be very uncomfortable nervously. Jerry stopped laughing then furrowed his brows but didn’t come closer, he sighed softly and then looked at me with a Serious face, “I wasn’t joking, Alina. I can’t even come near him for fear that I would burn. The energy howling out of him at the moment is too powerful which is why I was surprised it still hasn’t done anything to you.” he said then pointed at my hands which were now placed on Ken’s chest
~Alina Pov~I gave a chilly smile to Jerry after seeing him understand my gestures. His eyes widened then he swallowed hard and turned to look at Derek who sat in a daze, then turned to me again.“I haven't misjudged you, I have always known you are strong and you can handle things right. You know I was going soft, right?” He asked then chuckled, “I understand, I won't be soft on him. I will do the necessary things.” He said then turned his face away. I looked at him deeply and pulsed my lips then left the scene to him. I walked back slowly with my weak body, I didn't understand how things had become this way so fast. Everything was peaceful until the conference, and this made me doubt a lot of things. I keep feeling the conference was just a place to declare war and make the North pack realize they will be at war. I heard the sound of steady footsteps and on turning back I realized it was Ben following behind me at a small pace with his eyes looking at the ground grumpily. I smiled
~Alina Pov~“Hey! Be careful!” The sound of someone’s timely warning sounded so loud which alarmed Jerry and made him dodge and when I turned to the side, I was shocked to see the ever silent Ben looking at Jerry with his brows furrowed.I looked at him in shock, then noticed something was wrong, the fight was getting tough, and from the look of it, they were evenly matched and it seemed to me that Jerry was losing. I turned to look at Ben whose lips were pulse in a straight line and his fists were clenched tightly, I wondered why he hadn't gone to help.I couldn't take it anymore, so I tapped him on his shoulder and signaled him to go help but he shook his head and when I raised my eyebrow in question, he sighed, “Haven't you noticed something? He didn't want to hurt him. He can't.” He said coldly but I could hear a bit of softness in his voice. This was the first time I heard him say so much aside from the usual nod and “Hmmh”, but I didn't have the time to think about that because
~Alina Pov~ The place was silent as everyone looked at each other in confusion, or should I say their eyes were fixed on Jerry. I watched with nervousness as Jerry glared at me then he later sighed helplessly like he didn't know what to do with me.I watched as he pinched the middle of his eyebrow with his fingers then Sighed again and then turned to face Derek with a cold face. I also turned to Derek and then gritted my teeth at the thought that he might know about this too.Thinking of how this might break Kennedy, I wanted to beat them up so badly, so I wish Derek was very loyal to Kennedy, if not—Then he shouldn't blame me. Jerry clenched his fists and then walked slowly to Derek, they faced each other and were silent for a while, then he breathed in loudly, “Did you not know what your brother has done, Derek?” He asked calmly with his eyes still fixed on Derek. Derek frowned unhappily then pointed at himself with his eyebrow raised, “Are you suspecting me? You and I know I hav
