~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
~Alina pov~My body went rigid when I heard the stranger's words. My mind went blank and I could feel my head getting heavy. Then I felt my hand being clenched which woke me up from my daze. I looked up and my eyes shook seeing Kennedy's angry face. His face was so tight in anger and his body was vibrating from it. It was like he was ready to kill the gossip. I immediately removed my hand from his and reached out to hug his waist.“Hey…Ken! Don't do anything, okay? I am fine. I will go with you, come let's go! Haha! Let's go.” I said through the mind link and dragged his angry self out of the place. I let him go after We reached the door to the hall. Then he breathed a sigh of relief after seeing he had calmed down a lot but his face remained cold and his body was still emitting a dark aura. I know if I had left him there, he would have killed or punished those people. We looked at each other, then I smiled brightly while he looked surprised at my smile. He cleared his throat, “A
~Alina Pov ~I removed my hands from Kennedy's and walked to where Aunt and Utopia were. I could see people's eyes trailing after me, but I was so excited to find a solution that I forgot the feeling of being embarrassed. I smiled deeply at the gentle aunty and held her hand, then greeted Utopia too before facing aunty, then I used my hand to tell her what I needed from her which surprised her but I felt what surprised her the most was how my hand signs had improved a lot which even I am proud of. Even if I didn't have time to go to the bakery to learn, I have been practicing on my own and I feel so happy I have gotten better. I could communicate even if it was not fast but I could still pass on what I was saying. I looked at Utopia who also wanted to help but I shook my head at him. I didn't want to create misunderstandings, especially with the jealous Kennedy who seems to always lose control. After explaining what I needed from her, I dragged her to the front of the hall with ex
~Marcus Pov~ I looked at Alina in shock after hearing what she said from the translator. I looked at her cold face and I found her unfamiliar. Is this the same Alina I know? The one who had loved me so much and would do anything to make me happy, even at the expense of her health. I had entered this conference first as my Alpha had said he wanted to get to somewhere important before coming but who knew when I got here I would meet someone I had thought was dead and I had even forgotten her. I couldn't recognize her at first and I even admired her seeing how beautiful she was, she had shone brightly and differently amid the women here and I had even forgotten where I was just looking at her beauty, but that was until she came closer and I saw she looked so familiar.I had thought I was dreaming of maybe I was tired but when I heard her name being said by Alpha Kennedy, I had gone into shock. But that was short-lived, as anger filled my eyes just looking at the way she shone brightl
~Alina POV~I had felt tension between Kennedy and this new person—Alpha Lumba. I looked at them curiously and I could detect from their words that they weren’t friends from the way they spoke even when they tried to hide it, it was still obvious that they were enemies or should I say hidden rivals.I looked at how tense Kennedy became when Alpha Lumba stretched his hand to shake mine and I couldn’t help but smile at the disdain on Kennedy’s face when he interceded and shook Alpha Lumba’s hand. But then I suddenly felt a strange gaze looking at me and though I had felt it for some time it’s was it as strong as now, so I had thought it was just some people checking me out but now it was different and I could feel the malice and also shock from the person, so I turned and looked around the hall trying to trace the gaze and that was when I saw him—Marcus, My ex Mate!He stood in a corner of the hall with his eyes staring shockingly at me, and when he seemed to confirm I was the one, I
~Kennedy's Pov ~The temperature in the room went low immediately after she said that word, I glared at her with coldness and anger as I looked at her hand which was still stretched in front of Alina.“Shut up!” I said with command and turned to look at Alina immediately. I felt my heart beating so fast when I saw her maintain her smile, though it was a different case in her heart as I could feel her panic, I could feel how confused she was. I clenched my fist and glared at Delilah as I felt so angry as she was the one that put Alina in this situation, then I saw Alina take her hand and shake it politely.My eyes widened in shock but I tried to hide it. “Alina…”I communicated through the mind link but noticed she had blocked me out. Then I saw her turn to me and stretch out her other hand for me to hold which I held immediately, then she leaned closer to me and rested her body on mine. I couldn't stop my lopsided smile as I could feel the room go silent at her action. She had kille
Author's Note:I am So sorry for the mistake. So so sorry 🙏 This is the real Chapter. The last chapter (68) will be deleted soon. ~Alina Pov~I held Kennedy's clothes tightly in the hidden place. My hands were sweaty and I just had to grab something and the best option was him.I held his cloth tightly as we walked but then he held my hand and removed his cloth from my hand before drawing me closer to his side then made me hold his arm which drew me very close to him.We got to the door of the big hall where the conference was taking place and I took a deep breath. I felt pretty nervous about being introduced. I kept hoping not to embarrass Kenedy as I knew that was the little thing I could do for me.I strengthened my shoulder and looked forward elegantly then walked arm to arm with Kennedy who was trying to walk at my pace.The hall fell silent and everyone's eyes focused on us immediately after we entered. My heart almost dropped when I felt their gaze on me but then I felt Kenne
~Merina Pov~I looked at him sharply as I asked then I watched his expression to see if he did but he remained indifferent, making me irritated. “What? I can't?” He asked as he raised his eyebrow and looked at me challengingly.I clenched my fist to my side and my heart which had felt warm suddenly grew cold. I hate that everyone doesn’t think about my privacy, they intrude like I am worth nothing. My eyes went red and I swallowed hard then looked at him coldly and uttered, “Huh…” Then move to leave without waiting for him to give any response. Then I felt my hand being held and the way he drew me back to his side, and then hugged my waist, “Why are you angry? Are you angry I know about him?” He asked with a frown on his face which made me glare at him.“I am angry because you all go around checking into people's lives without permission! You all don't care if I want that at all, and I hate that!” I yelled back and then pushed him away but he was too strong for me to push so I just
~Alina Pov ~The maids were busy running here and there as they tried to dress me up for today's conference. I looked at myself in the mirror and I couldn't help but be wowed by my beauty.They tried not to make my features too soft but more on the dignified side as they had discussed. I couldn't stop the smile plastered on my face remembering their discussion on how they needed to doll me up to look Intimidating so no one would dare look down on me which I found very funny.I touched my fingers as I remembered that night Kennedy had poured out his feelings to me. Even if he tried so hard to show he was okay later, I knew clearly that he wasn't, but I just didn't say anything and I never mentioned it.This pack conference is something I am anticipating as I will be meeting some long-time—friends.My eyes went cold as I balled my fist trying to reign in my anger and it worked. “I am surprised your body is still white even when you train every day. You have such beautiful skin, Lady Al
~Kennedy Pov~ I felt so safe with her, it was like I was talking to my other part which she is— Alina’s arms hugged me so warmly that one of them patted my back without saying a word as she listened to me rant about my guilt. My heart ached so much, so much that I thought it was going to shatter, but too bad it was still pumping.“She was just so little. So tiny and cute. She’d run after me with her short legs.” I chuckled remembering how cute my sister is. Her smile brightens everything up, and her cute voice relieves people's pain. She was a bundle of joy that jumped around the whole pack. Sometimes, even I wonder how come a man like my father has a daughter like Adana, that man doesn't deserve it! He doesn't! I closed my eyes and buried my face in Alina's chest as I inhaled her sweet scent. I inhaled deeply and desperately as I felt nauseous just thinking about that man. I felt Alina stop patting my back but started caressing instead, I breathed in again, “She might be the hap
~Alina Pov ~I laid my head on his chest and traced my fingers on his face and down to his chest, drawing circles on it, then my hand was grabbed then pressed against his lips as he kissed my fingers gently which put a smile on my face.I knew something was wrong when he barged in with red eyes that were filled with pain and him telling me he wanted me was all I needed to boost my confidence and make my man feel comforted. I won't deny how proud I felt seeing him come to me when he didn't feel good, which means I am also his haven—at least.I had taken over and just allowed him to lay down when I pleasured him. I had made him release his pent-up frustrations and now as we lay down with him breathing heavily from the pleasures he had, I knew I had done a good job. And now it's time to ask questions. I continued tracing my fingers on his chest then pinched his nipples which made him let out a hoarse grunt, “Tell me all about you. I feel uncomfortable with the fact that others know more
~Kennedy Pov~She remained unconscious on the bed, her body all skin and bones, and her eyes had remained closed which made me always wonder if she didn't want to see me anymore. Is she angry with me? My heart clenched in pain, I bit my lips and walked nearer to the bedside and her face became clear. Immediately I saw her face like that, I closed my eyes immediately, I knew I was a coward, but I still couldn't look at it—I couldn't look at that face. The once bright beautiful face had become scarred. Badly scarred with burns all over her face, and this alone made me doubt myself if I was being too selfish. What if I succeeded in waking her up and she saw her face? My mouth opened as I inhaled a sharp breath, I couldn't take it! I hate to think of her reaction. I can't imagine how she would react knowing she was so cute and beautiful when she was awake and waking up after years of being In the darkness, and seeing her scarred face with nowhere untouched. “Adana—Brother is sorry.” I
