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
