“What.’ She muttered surprisedly and her expression just made me even angrier, like I didn’t know what I was saying. “Yes,” I firmly admitted. “It is very horrible. Didn’t your mother teach you how to cook? How did you even get Gerard’s attention and get married to him with this thing you call food, surprises me?’ I emitted sarcastically. “Oceana.’ Carmine whispered, but I ignored him and went on. “If you had learned how to cook properly, I wouldn’t be so bored and lose my appetite.’ “Hey, Oceana, that’s so rude.’ My mother scolded me. “What on earth is wrong with you?" “I’m really sorry if it’s not up to your taste.’ I went on, letting my anger lead me further. “I don’t need your apology. Keep it to yourself.’ I forced myself to be as composed as I could. “I’m talking to you. What on earth is wrong with you? Do you have to be so rude?’ “What mother?” I nearly snapped. “I am telling the truth. Does it hurt so badly? She’s your daughter-in-law, at least tell her the truth.’ I per
I thought he hadn’t found his mate yet, and why was my father looking like he had won a bet on him? “How did you find out, Father?” He asked again and looked over at Gérard. Gérard shook his head and muttered. “I didn't know he knew. I wouldn’t snitch on you even if you didn’t tell me to hide it.” What was going on here? Why does the atmosphere feel hot and built with tension? “Bring her over to me. I don’t know why you are hiding her from me or if there is something I need to know, spill it.” He folded his hands and rested his jaw on them and focused on Carmine. “You haven’t answered my question, father.” He reminded him, then he went on. “I smelt an Omega on you and it was pretty strong. She must be a dominant Omega, I see.” Omega. An Omega was Carmine’s mate. “Yeah, me too,” Alex added after gulping his glass of water. “It smelt of strawberries, father and I sniffed it on him the first day he came to the palace while you were in the garden after you excused them.” Alex and h
“I started it? But how did that ever happen? Was it because I made what wasn’t up to your taste? I already apologise for that...” “Jeez, spare me the explanation. I hate hearing you speak because what comes out of your mouth doesn’t make sense. Who is talking about the food you made? I’m speaking about you invading my privacy.’ “Ok, I’m sorry about that...” “I don’t need your apology, Emily. Keep it to yourself, bitch.” I snapped, pointing my fingers at her in resentment. “Do not call me a bitch, Alpha Oceana. All I can see is that you don’t like me. It’s pretty obvious. I don’t know what I’ve done to you for you to hate me so much. Ever since I came to this palace, to the clan, you’ve done nothing but abhor me. Can I know why you feel such darkness in your heart against me? Did I offend you in any way? Please speak up and let’s resolve this between us.” What is she, a saint or what? Commanding me to speak up as if I was a kid. What a slutty bitch? “Who said I don’t like you?’ I
"What’s the matter with you? You are quarrelling with your brother’s wife and you said you hate her, huh? I heard everything and don’t even think of lying to me. Your words were filled with grudges back there. So, tell me, what did she do to you, because all I’m seeing is her being nice to you, she didn’t do nothing wrong and stop fighting your brothers, you have to be happy for them, they are adults now with responsibility, even if they don’t have time to talk to you, don’t take it to heart and vent it on her, you are older than this sis.’ she explained. “Stop making assumptions when you don’t even know what’s going on.” I blurted out, and my eyes filled with tears. “Oceana.” she whispered, came to me and sat down beside me. “I don’t want to get married. I don’t want him to get married to that woman either, but he did it, all because he wanted to protect me. Fuck his protection, fuck him and Carmine.” I sobbed. “I didn’t mean to talk to Emily in such a manner, but the fact she got
“That’s why I said it’s nothing to be worried about.’ I assured him, wishing he would just let me go. I was getting dizzy because of the work I’ve been doing for a couple of days now. And it’s giving me a lot of stress and headache, so I needed to rest. “Don’t tell me such tales, this is real life we are talking about, it’s true there are some things we have to ignore but this is serious and could cause a scandal. A taint to our reputation and make our clan look bad, don’t forget we are collaborating with the Mackenzie clan and the realms.’’ He faced me with a solemn expression with his red eyes. “Rumours are flying around that Oceana has feelings for her brothers.’ “Who would dare say such a thing?’ I feigned solemnly. “We have to watch her from now on,” he said. “I have seen for myself how obsessed she is with her brothers, even her fiance is talking about it and saying that’s the reason their marriage is being delayed. Her behaviour is becoming very suspicious to the extent of h
"I need to know her reason. Is it bad for me to be asking while she hates my guts? Didn’t you see the manner she embarrassed me back there?” She was fucking pissed and I don’t blame the attitude any way. Oceana has a way of provoking someone, determined in her act. As far as she gets what she wants and doesn’t give a damn if she is causing a scene. She has changed a lot and I kind of feel sorry for Emily. No matter how powerful I am, when it concerns Oceana, I become such a pathetic Alpha and worship her feet, and try as hard as possible to keep my cool. “Forget about it, Emily. She’s just a teenager who is getting to know you.’ I persuaded her. “By insulting me, I don’t like her attitude.’ she argued and I could only sigh and sat down on the bed. “I know you don’t. That’s why I want you to ignore her. Don’t make her get on your nerves, that’s the only way to move on with her or else you will regret it.’ She hissed in annoyance. “I don’t like the way she behaves with me and if
Ever since I came to the clan, I told Oceana I was her mate. If not, she will discover it herself, even if I try to keep it a secret. When I first saw her, on that day she came to the chambers, she was breathtakingly beautiful, attractive and at that spot, I wanted to pull off her clothes, my wolf growled, forcing me to mate with her, yet I controlled myself and told myself silently a thousand times that she is my sister but it didn’t work. I had all kinds of imaginations, forcing my body to keep still, which kept screaming and yelling at me to screw her right there at the table. I know I’m a jerk, but I want her in my arms; I want to be inside her, fuck her to the extent of her screaming my name out loud, begging for me to stop and take it easy. I know I said this the first time, but I want her as my mate; I love her so much to give up now. I wish I could have her right now, shout out to the world that she is my mate, and get married to her. I’m an Alpha with dignity, not some pe
What would he think of that? I couldn’t help it, so I’ve been with it for years, stealing it from his room after he disappeared. No weirdness though, back then I didn’t know he was my mate, so I used this pillow to console myself from going insane from loneliness and somehow I coped because of it. I shut my eyes and hugged the pillow even more and I wonder what Jessie will think of me after hearing what I just told her and I hope she doesn’t get mad at me or rather gets disgusted with me, I can’t help it and no matter what she says to me, I’m not leaving Gérard, I want my Alpha. Let the whole earth collapse. Even if the moon goddess brings me back in another lifetime, Gérard will always be mine and no one else. Deep down, I don’t actually know what she feels about the whole thing, but she seemed okay with it and isn’t advising me or insisting I leave Gerard alone. She supports me getting together with him, though. Tears rolled down my cheeks and I could swear he was also thinking
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
