“Stop making it sound so easy,” Carmine stated, and what did he mean by that? Gérard laughed. “I said what I said, and no one should stop me. You should also think about yourself as well.” Carmine frowned. “And what was that supposed to mean?” “Face reality,” Gérard said without looking back at us. “Later.” He uttered and walked out on us, and from that day on, he seriously avoided me, and I didn’t know what to do. I became lost, unsure of the next direction to take, after I ran away from Carmine, ignoring him no matter how many times he called after me. I didn’t want to speak to him or anyone else. I was just down and devastated, waking up early in the morning, going to school, coming back to the clan, and walking straight to my room. That became my routine; I didn’t want to talk to anyone, and after what Gérard did to me, I became a hopeless puppy. Rumours out of the blue spread all over the palace about how Gérard and I were spotted kissing at the Pleasure House. I was dumbf
“Alpha Oceana.’ “Just get out of my sight before I vent my anger on you and do something we’ll both regret.’ “What!’ she snapped. “Alpha Oceana, I demand respect from you. I am five years older than you. I am your brother’s wife, a princess and heir to the throne, so don’t talk to me the way you talk to your maids.” “I see.” I chuckled and then furrowed my brows. “Mind your damn business and stop interfering in my matters; don’t act all high and mighty just because you are older than me, grandma. I may look like a teenager, a child to you. Whatever you think of me doesn’t mean I’m not smart. And stop interrupting me and face your damn fake marriage. Who is even feeding you all these lies about being an heir or something?!’ I mocked with a chuckle. “Alpha Oceana.’ “If you know you want to survive right here in this palace, stay out of my way because, with just a snap of my finger, I could ruin your life in seconds. And you will never be a princess of the realms or be of any importa
"And fucking loosened up in the brains.' I yelled and got close to her and my eyes changed into its wolf colour. “You are delusional. If you are having issues with Gerard, go confront him and stay the hell away from me. I’m not him. I’ve heard enough of your nonsense and if you ever call me a side piece again, I will put you in the cell and leave you there to rot for the rest of your life for your nonsense conversations.” “My nonsense conversations,’ she scoffed. “You and I both know the truth. I know you know what I’m talking about. Don’t give me all that crap because I will deal with you too, Oceana. You don’t scare me.’ “Do your worst, Emily.’ I dared her and pushed her away from me. “Don’t push me, Alpha Oceana.’ she warned. “How fucking dare you? I could ruin your life, Emily. I dare you to do your worst. Tell everyone here that you are getting mad at me, accusing me of being some secret lover to my brother. Which is quite a taboo, you are accusing me of incest. You could get
"Answer me. Where were you last night? Rumours are spreading around and I don’t like what I’m hearing. The poor lady must be hurt and depressed by what is moving around. So, I need you to go to her and apologise. Explain yourself on how it happened.’ So, she hasn’t heard about her imprisonment. I clenched my fist and glared at her. “And why the fuck should I do that?” “Mind your tone, young lady.” She warned. “You are the future Alpha of the realms. You are to address this issue and stop behaving like a child.” It already pissed me off. “I will do no such thing. Gérard should clear it: he was the one who was caught in the pleasure house, not me.” “Oceana.” “Mother, I’m not doing it. Let the people say whatever they feel like saying. It isn’t my business, and I don’t want to get involved in this mess.” “You’ve caused a lot of damage and people are talking, questioning us, and you say you don’t want to get involved. You are already inside this situation you’ve created, so fix it.
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
