I sighed and sniffed once again. “When you found out who she was, how did you feel?’ “It took me aback at first, then after some time, I accepted it. I didn’t know what else to say, but it took over me. Every night I would dream of her, doing all kinds of disgusting stuff and she was also doing things as well. We made love, and we couldn’t keep our hands off each other after that. It is hard laying down with a woman who isn’t my mate. The bed feels cold and lonely and every day, I wish I could just go out, shout out to the realm that Lucita, my sister is my mate. I would have loved it, but I can’t hurt her, can I?” He was sincere with his feelings, I could sense it in his tone. If only I could feel these emotions and tell them to Gerard, I know he must have felt tortured for years because of me and he still kept going and going without giving up on me. He was really strong. “Did you ever know that Gérard was my mate?” “No,’ he shook his head. “I had my suspicions, but I wasn’t su
And my parents were as attractive as ever. I made sure I avoided Gérard’s expression at the dining table to make it more alluring filled with tension, though I knew he was eating, and then I began eating the pasta which was well prepared. Jessie was there too with her elder sister, looking glamorous, as always When did they come to the clan, anyway? “You look so attractive, my daughter.” My mother seemed pleased and admired me from head to toe. “And so beautiful, this dress brought out your curves, your future husband wouldn’t be able to take his eyes off you.’ “Thanks, Mother.’ I murmured with a smile. “Wow, you bleached your hair. It’s beautiful, and it suits you more than your previous hair.’ Jessie exclaimed. “Thanks, Jessie.’ I forced out a smile and looked over at Gerard, who wouldn’t stop staring at me, and I was kind of happy about that. “Welcome, princess Oceana, you look lovely.’ Emily beamed. However, I ignored her, acted like I didn’t hear her. I didn’t have her ti
“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
