Jessie and I gasped in shock. “Stay put, Alpha Gérard, don’t interfere…” “Don’t command me,’ he strictly uttered. “We are both in the same position. The only difference between us is that I’m not sleeping with my mate. You are sleeping with yours, keeping it a secret from the entire clan. You are having an affair, lying to the lady you are married to, that you are her mate. I wonder how the Lycan Pack will feel about such disgrace occurring in the family. I guess they aren't as wise as they claim to be to have noticed what a perfect liar you are. Aren’t you a disgusting piece of shit as well?” “I have no words for you, Alpha Gérard, you don't know how tough the bond can be.” “Well, I have an idea how the bond can be. I’ve been through it and I know how exhausting the bond can be. You don’t need to tell me, kiddo. We all got our secrets, we all don’t want to tell, let anyone know about it, so I completely understand,” Gérard uttered. I was dumbfounded. Then he continued. “But don’
Gérard laughed and patted her long hair. “Don’t worry, he’s just a nice alpha.” I wasn’t nice. “He’s tired from a lot of work, that’s why he’s like that.” He persuaded her. Tired from a lot of work? Is he joking or what? And the idiot really listened to her brother and happily hugged him like a kid who just won candy for doing well. To my surprise, she waved at me before leaving. “Have a good night, Adolph. Don’t let the bugs bite you, sweet dreams.” Huh, was she saying all those words to me? Bugs? Dreams? I scoffed and nearly laughed at her funny expression. “Gorgeous, it’s time for bed.” Ocean nodded. He then carried her in his arms as she tagged along with him, giggling. As they walked away, she waved at me once again and wrapped her little arms around Gérard’s neck. Wow! She was a spoiled brat. I don’t know what came over me, so I went to see her and found out if she was sleeping, maybe check on how she played because she was quite fascinating to me. However, what I sa
“I don’t want to talk right now. Please leave me alone, Jessie. I have a lot on my mind.’ I dashed to my bed, making sure the door was tightly shut and making sure no one was entering. You might think I’m some miserable Alpha who only runs to her room and cries her eyes out, acting like a child when she faces a problem but I am at a loss here, my mate is being taken away from me, in front of my eyes and I can’t do anything to stop it, he was all I had. I had been searching for him for years, and I had finally found him. Instead of him being together with me, he is with someone else and stupidly in love like he claims he is. I hate him so much. I wish he wasn’t my brother and my mate. A month had passed, since Emily and Gérard got married, it broke my heart and tore it into a thousand pieces, what was I supposed to do I couldn’t come out of my room. I could only sob and curse Gérard a thousand times for abandoning me, he didn’t care or give it a second thought on what he was about
While the maids were rubbing perfumed oil on me, I yearned for him. If it’s fighting to get what I want, I will and I don’t give a damn. After dressing up in my green ball gown, I put on a few golden chains on my body and had some designs planted on my long hair with some of its braided lines. Following that, I made the decision to go see Adolph. I wonder how he must be feeling now. I have never heard such a thing from him about having his sister as his mate. Why would he keep such a secret from me? He could have told me? Well, I didn’t tell him mine, so I understand the pressure he must have been under. I was in his shoes as well. We were both scared to speak up. The matter was really a delicate matter, risky and could get someone killed. I understood his position. I wouldn’t argue with that. These past few weeks, I couldn’t go out to look him in the eye, because I was in shock but I got over it sooner than expected and Gerard was still on my mind and hearing about the rumours ab
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
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
