You know, the idea didn’t just pop into my head in a single day, yet her beauty mesmerised me. I wanted to be like her at that instant. I asked a lot of questions about her, but Gerard kept insisting that it was some girl he knew a long time ago. He told me I shouldn’t get bothered about it. I accepted, but my mind still wasn’t at peace. This attractive girl, whoever she was to Gerard, was pretty. On a fateful day, I caught Gerard masturbating in his room when I came for a visit. I didn’t inform him I was coming to see him. I glimpsed him in the room, staring at the same girl’s picture on his laptop. I felt awful and immediately wanted to be that girl on the laptop he was jerking off to. He seemed so into this lady. I became envious of her. When Gerard was done with the act, I asked him what he wanted from me. What he needed my body to have. He nonchalantly told me what he wished for my body to have and as soon as I knew what he yearned for. I had a couple of surgeries done
This was tearing up my soul. I couldn’t hold on to the tears anymore and had to let it out. "What the fuck is wrong with you, this family?’ I shouted. “I can’t stand you guys anymore. How could I have deceived myself? How could you have made me believe you love me so much, Gerard?’ I got up and banged the locks with my fist. I screamed. “Tell me what is going on. I don’t want to be kept in the dark anymore.’ “You aren’t kept in the dark, Emily." “What do you mean by that?’ I screamed. ‘Are you going to continue screaming or will you act like a civilised werewolf and talk to me?’ “I’m acting like one, Gerard. You are my husband, right?’ “Yes, I know.’ “No, you don’t know.’ I screamed again. “You’ve been cheating on me.’ “I never cheated on you, Emily. Geez, you know I will never do that to you.’ “You will never do it to me or to Oceana.” “Emily.’ “What were you doing at the pleasure house with Oceana? Every night, you sneak out and go there. Is it for Oceana or to meet othe
He cleared his throat and handed me over a book. I took it from him. It was big, seemed ancient, and covered with old golden lines in the shape of a spider. I held it and looked up at him. He frowned and faced me once more. “I want you to read that book, all of it, after I’m gone.’ I swallowed, looked at the book, and nodded. “You are the princess of the Mackenzie Clan, the realms. You must always know the rules and know your place. You will get married and be my heir.’ “I want to ask a question, father?’ I was nervous like shit. “Go ahead,” he said. “I’ve always wanted to ask you, why am I the heir to the realms? You heard what happened a few days ago, what happened at the house of whores. Why are you not talking about it? Gerard was in there sitting down with a bunch of women surrounding him that night. I went out for a stroll and bumped into him by perceiving his scent ....” “Are you in love with Gerard, or is this just an obsession?’ I was stunned. “Your closeness with Ge
"I hate you the minute I set my eyes on you. You can’t take what belongs to her. She is the heir of this clan. Do not interfere in her life. You’ve been nothing but trouble, and I regret letting you live with her. I loathe you.” She yelled. I held her hands with my claws. My skin was changing. “You knew,” I whispered. She frowned. “You knew I was madly in love with her. That’s why you chased me away from her eight years ago. You didn’t want to talk about it. You wanted us to think you knew nothing about what’s going on, guess what! You cause what’s happening between us? I love her so much and you can’t stop that. You can’t stop me from falling in love with her.” “GERARD.” she screeched. “I love her so much. I want you to keep hearing those words every day for the rest of your life and guess what, I am her MATE.” I revealed. She covered her opened mouth with her hands and shook her head continuously. She was nearly in tears. “No! No! No!” she screamed and fell to the floor. “It i
I laughed. “You are not serious.’ I muttered. “Remember how nervous you were because Mom was in labour back then? It took hours for her to put to bed and when she finally did, we were all happy and had a huge celebration all night.” I smiled a little. “Yeah, father got heavily drunk and nearly danced around the streets in happiness.’ “He was almost naked. He wanted to shout to the world about his wife putting to bed and there were also a lot of guests on that day.’ “Some were already asking for Oceana’s hand in marriage. I wanted to beat up that stupid alpha for doing such a thing.’ He began laughing. “And I could also remember him saying he wanted to get betrothed to Oceana before someone else took her away from him.’ “And the idiot was already married.’ I said in annoyance. “Yeah, he just wanted a virgin all to himself. What a piece of junk.” He laughed and stretched out his legs. “Really, a piece of junk and a disgusting paedophile.’ I agreed. “If you recall, when Mom gave
“Do your worst. If you don’t bring him back, I will tell the world that he is my mate and there is nothing you can do about it, nothing, absolutely nothing. Do you understand me?’ She lunged towards me; I held her hand filled with rage, my claws emerged piercing her arm, she screamed and before I knew what was happening, my father pushed me away from her, her arm was terribly bleeding. “What on earth is wrong with you, Oceana? This is not the Alpha I raised for eighteen years.’ “And this is not the Alpha I knew as my father for eighteen years. I did everything you asked to please you. I didn’t want to be a disappointing bitch to you. When my brother’s left, I did everything to please you. I made sure you were happy, and made a lot of sacrifices but you took away my joy, father.’ “If you don’t stop this nonsense, I will make sure he never returns.’ my father’s solemn tone got through me and scared me. He wasn’t joking. He was dead serious with me. “So, you see, get married to Kai
“I can see you are trying to ruin my daughter’s life so you can take over the realms because people are cheering to see you as the heir to the throne. Those words are getting into your head and you are trying to ruin my children’s life.’ You make me laugh, Luna.’ I ruffled through my hair. “Luna, I have no such intentions on your throne, neither do I want to be an heir to something that isn’t mine. We all know Oceana is next in line because Carmine isn’t interested in ruling. He wants to be free. Same as me. I don’t want to be all locked up all day in this suffocating place. Release her now.’ “I will not do that, Gerard.’ I flared up and walked out on her and dashed towards Oceana’s room, barged into the room and saw her leg tied to a chain. I bent down and used my claws as it glowed green, breaking the chains apart. “Gerard, love.’ Oceana cried and hugged me. I hugged her too and carried her up from the floor. ‘You are not leaving her, aren’t you?’ Luna yelled. “Let her go at t
It is invisible to other people and I am the only one who can see it with my third eye above my head once I look at my neck in a mirror. No one can see what I see. Only I, an Alpha, see and notice all these things. It was said that only my fated mate could see it. Only then will I know she is the one for me, but I will be her love, failure, and doom. I will be her death instead of giving her peace and happiness. I was told by a priest years ago. I could also sense it from the wolf’s stone. “Gerard, what’s that on your neck?’ I froze. In a daze, I touched my neck and turned to an eight years old Oceana asking me a question with such an innocent look. ‘What did you see in there, love?’ I asked, getting close to her as I held her shoulders. “Writings. Written in Arabic, Gerard.’ her blue eyes glowed. “It means “Curse” Gerard. Why will you have that on your neck? Isn’t it a bad omen, Gerard?’ What a cute child. My eyes welled up as I hugged her and kissed her forehead. “Don’t s
That’s why to avenge the death of others. He had to die and I would seize the clan for myself. That is my wish and my command, Amoux.’Amoux smiled and bent the knee before me.“Yes, Alpha Ivy Thorne. Your wish is my command, brother.”Carmine’s Pov.“Dad, look what Mom bought for me.’ Chloe rushed over to me with her toy.I smiled and hugged her as I patted her back, dropping the presents I bought for her.As a kid back then, I dreamed of not having a child, and neither did I think of having one someday. I’ve always wanted to be alone with the person I love and die in old age.My wishes might sound lonely to most people, but it doesn’t to me because that’s what I want.And besides, I’m into men and not women, so it doesn’t matter, anyway. I tried to be the perfect Alpha who everyone will look up to, and it worked out perfectly because of Gerard.He was my rock who gave me a leaning shoulder whenever I wanted to cry. My father was a ruthless man who wanted his children to live up to hi
She gasped with her hand on her mouth and muttered.“Gerard.’What? Who? Where?Who is she calling Gerard? What is she talking about? Why is everyone so weird here in California?“And who might you be?’“Aunt Jessie, do you know him? He’s the one who tied my shoelaces.’The so-called Aunt Jessie came to me and held my shoulders.Why do these wolves here in California have a habit of touching a stranger’s shoulders?I pulled her hands off my shoulders. I don’t like it.What the fuck is going on here?“It is you.” She exclaimed. “Gerard.’“Who is who?’ This was hilarious, but I didn’t want to laugh.“Where have you been, Gerard? Do you have any idea what you put Oceana through? She has been looking for you for the past six years. You can’t keep tormenting her like this. If she did anything to you, please forgive her Gerard. Please and this is…”“What are you talking about? Who are you and first of all, my name is not Gerard? I’m Ivy Thorne, and I don’t know who you are.’ I kindly pushed
“I’m talking and you are asking irrelevant questions, huh? His elder brother has been living in America for five years since then. He returned just to meet up with the clan because he’s an heir. He is not Gerard. Cut out this crap of yours. I don’t want to see you close to my best friend and his brother again. I will have you dealt with.’“Garold…”“I don’t want to repeat my words again, Oceana, behave your fucking self.’ he walked out on me and slam the door shut.I sighed and fell to the floor feeling exhausted and I haven’t had my bath properly since yesterday.I must reek of heat.Ivy’s Pov.I wiped my sweat off my face and neck as I entered the penthouse in my workout clothes.My parents were having breakfast, and the place was sort of noisy.“Hey, Ivy,’ my mom called out to me.“Hi, mom.’ I went to her and kissed her on the cheek, and greeted my father as well. I hugged my siblings and cousins.“Eww. You are sweating, bro.’“Yeah, I need to take a bath, cousin.’“You could come
“But you were the one who came to the room. You should have switched it off before lying down.’I rolled my eyes at him. “Should I kick you out of my room?”“No.’“Then get your ass up and lock the fucking door.’“Alright. Alright, before you eat me up, bad wolf.’I smiled and closed my eyes.“Please don’t leave me, Gerard. I will do anything to make us stay together.’“I heard you threatened Emily, Oceana. What the hell are you doing?’“Must you always get mad at me for everything? I did what I had to. She called me a whore.’“That’s why you kept her in prison? Are you mad or something?’“I’m not mad. You are my mate, Gerard. I will not hand you over to her. You are mine.’“So have I become some property that you have to not let me go.’She grabbed my collar with tears in her eyes. “Please, I love you so much, Gerard. Be my mate and I will never let go of you. I will fight till my last breath. I’m ready to face the pack now. I don’t care if we are siblings. Siblings fuck each other,
“It is not, Carmine. I knew my mate when I saw him. I felt the bond when I touched him. My wolf was alive for the first time in years. Please believe me, I need to see my mate. I beg of you.’“Calm down, the way you are in a hurry will not bring back your mate. You need to calm down, go home and take a fresh bath and relax. Tomorrow you have to come meet me so we can talk about this, okay?”‘`What do you mean talk about this, Carmine?" she yelled at me. “There’s nothing to talk about. I saw him with my eyes. We need to go see him. His name is Amoux, and he is Garold’s best friend. Or we can follow him, then we will track him.”“Did he say his name is Gerard?’Oceana shook her head. “No. The Amoux guy called him Ivy. And I need to know how he is called Ivy. I need to search for Gerard. Tell him we have…”“Oceana.’ I held her shoulders and sighed.“Go home and let’s talk about this tomorrow and then we will find out who he is.’She agreed.“Carmine, is that you?’I looked upstairs, and
The wind blew through our clothes as we both stared at each other, but his eyes were black and he looked so much like Gerard, something felt off.No, he was Gérard. I can never forget about his scent.“Gerard.’ I murmured, burst out in tears and hugged him. “Where the hell have you been? Why did you disappear from me like that? Please, Gerard, don’t leave me like that again. I can’t take it anymore. Please don’t leave me anymore. I don’t know how I will survive without you again.’I pulled away from him and looked at his face, but instead of seeing a warm smile from him.What I saw was a furious expression.“Who the fuck are you?’“What!’He sighed. “Like I don’t understand, why will you cling onto me like that?!’“Gerard.’“Do I know you? You just met a random wolf and hugged him? If you are a whore, I understand, but can you keep your silly thoughts to yourself? I don’t want to see you. I don't even fucking know you.’“What are you talking about, Gerard?" I asked in a shaky voic
However, Kai was found dead on a pole and his elder brother, Garold, volunteered to make Oceana his wife.After the deed was done, I also discovered I was pregnant as well and the thought of telling Oceana and Carmine about what happened destroyed me.Oceana’s Pov.“Get off me, young lady. Are you on meds or something?’ His voice was quite broken and scary when he spoke.Gerard’s voice had always been deep, calm, not harsh.I took my hands off. His aura was very different.“Who are you, are you not Gerard?’He frowned and scoffed. “Who are you, Alpha, since you don’t have a name?’They looked so much alike, but why is he so different?“My name is Oceana Daciana, from the Mackenzie Clan.” I responded.‘`Oh, you must be Garold’s wife, the stubborn woman who is in love with her ex-boyfriend?’ he mocked.Garold must have told him Gerard was my boyfriend instead of him being my brother.I didn’t want to believe this.I was sick and tired of this. How could I believe he wasn’t the o
I smiled. “She is doing well. Though I haven’t heard from her for a couple of months.’He gave a slight frown. “But your daughter goes to her home all the time, right?’“Most times.’ I responded. “But Carmine picks her up most of the time at her home.’“Oh, I see,” he agreed. “But you guys are still best friends, right?’ he teased.“We are still close, but Oceana is sort of shutting me out again, I think. I bet she still hasn’t forgiven me because of Carmine. She thinks I took advantage of Carmine’s dick and had his daughter. But I am to blame for everything.’“Why do you keep talking about the past? It’s been five years, Jessie.’As long as the past lives in our lives, we can never forget it.”“They are best friends for sure,” he nodded. “Nolana and Chloe.’“Yes, they are, and they get along so well.”“Yeah, you are right,’ he agreed.“Whenever I think of the past, I still feel sad and broken, Adolph. A lot of things happened on a whim and I couldn’t do anything to save Oceana fr
“I’m sorry.’ glancing up at the person I knew who the person was.I was dumbfounded.In my whole life, never did I expect I was going to meet him again.“Gerard.’ I whispered and his eyes widened, staring deeply at me.“Is that really you?’He questioned. “Who are you?!’I grabbed his collar with rage, filling up and rushing through my veins. “Who am I? After all these years, you finally show up here? Tell me, why the fuck are you here?’ my eyes instantly filled with tears so much I was broken.The sound of my voice, my gritted teeth could be heard, tears flowed down my cheeks.All these years of enduring sufferings and going through hell broke me.But he didn’t look bothered at all by my tears and stood still as if nothing was touching him.Why was he so calm?Gerard was alive? How come no one told me about him?No, it can’t be.I saw his dead body before they buried him. What the heck was going on? I'm getting tired of all these bullshit.I was fucking tired of seeing all this. Th
