Alexis’s POVI walked beside alpha Kane through the lines of the garden walls. His presence brought peace as we talked about the simplest things. His strides were very powerful even as he casually walked beside me.He was interested in anything related to me. I liked him a lot. He was a nice man inside, and I wondered why he portrayed differently outward.“Did you like the flowers I sent to you?” He asked me. His hands were folded behind his back.I nodded with a smile. “I did. I loved them very much. Thank you,” I replied.“So, tell me, aside being the princess of the house, what else do you do?” He asked.“Believe me when I say I barely do anything. I’m either in the garden or indoors on my phone,” I replied.“That’s fine. You’re a flower that shouldn’t be stressed or rough handled,” he said.“I’ve been meaning to ask..” I began, thinking of the best way to ask him what was in my mind.“Go on, my lady,” he urged me as he looked at me with a gentle smile.I inhaled sharply. “Well, wh
Alex’s POV“What do you mean?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at him.He gave a dry chuckle. “What don’t I mean?”“You very well know what’s happening here. So, tell me,” I squared my shoulders.“Of course. I’m not oblivious to my surroundings. I know you’re in love with your sister,” he smirked.I stared at him expressionless. “Believe whatever you want to, Kane. One thing I’m certain about is that my sister will not end up with you. I’ll ensure that,”“Challenge accepted, Alexander. But, I must warn you, I have never lost a challenge,” He replied smugly as he turned around and walked towards his car. His gamma opened the car for him, and he got in.I watch the car drive away and a sudden urge to prove that alpha Kane must have some dirty secrets that I needed to dig out. That would be the only way I could separate him from Alexis. I could see that she was becoming fond of him, and I didn’t like it.Alphas always had a dark secret or a past haunting them. Alpha Kane would be of no differ
"Alex," our dad called out again, his voice firm but worried. "What's going on here?"Alexandra quickly stepped back, releasing me from his grasp. I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart."Nothing, Dad," Alex replied, his voice neutral. "Just a discussion with Lexi."Dad's eyes narrowed. "A discussion that requires you to pin her against the wall?"Alex shrugged. "I was just trying to make a point."Dad's expression turned skeptical. "Well, I think you've made your point. Lexi, are you okay?"I nodded, still trying to process what had just happened. "Yeah, I'm fine."Dad's eyes lingered on me for a moment before turning to Alex. "Alex, can I talk to you for a minute?"Alex nodded, and they walked into the study room, leaving me feeling confused and shaken.What was happening between us? Why was Alex behaving this way? And why did I feel like I was melting every time he touched me?I took a deep breath and tried to shake off the feeling. I needed to focus on something else
Julia’s POVI was beyond stunned when I heard Alex say those words. How did he find out I had always birthed stillborn babies? It was a secret I was willing to take to my grave, and yet, he found out about it.It broke my heart as I saw the lingering accusations in his eyes. He may not be my biological child, but I raised him from an infant. I was still his mother, wasn’t I?Tears streamed down my eyes and I turned away to sob on Richard’s chest.“That’s enough, Alex. This is too much for your mother to bear,” Richard said, holding me in his arms.“She may have raised me, but she did not give birth to me. I know what you both have been hiding from us all these years. What baffles me is why you kept it a secret and left us in the dark?!” Alex raised his voice. He was raving mad.“I didn’t mean to…” I cried out.“You didn’t mean to hide the fact that you both are not our birth parents from us? Then what did you mean to do?” He demanded.“You both are supposed to be our children,” I crie
Alexis’s POV Five Years Ago It was the morning of Alexandra’s eighteenth birthday. Instead of shouts and laughs of celebration, all I could hear from my room was his angry voice and my parent’s pleading ones. I didn’t understand what was going on, it was his birthday, so why was he angry? I threw my duvet off my body and jumped off the bed as fast as I could. I brushed my teeth at the speed of light and dashed out of my room with the gift I had carefully picked out for my older brother. But I was already too late. His shouts had stopped, and my parents were quiet. And all I caught was a glimpse of his back as he walked out of the door of our home. Foolishly, I ran after him, curious to know why he was leaving with a single bag early in the morning when we already had the entire day planned. “Wait!” I yelled, trying to catch up with him. Maybe it was the sound of my voice and how desperate I sounded, but he did. I stopped a few feet from him and walked around him to see hi
Alexis’s POVIt is a normal tradition to celebrate the 18th birthday of any werewolf. There are quite a number of reasons why, but the most important one to me is that any wolf that turns 18 can now be considered an adult and is free to have a family and if they want to separate from their parents.Maybe that was the reason why Alexandra left without looking back, my subconscious tells me for the thousandth time ever since Alexandra left the house.I shake the thought out of my head and instead wish for something that might be near impossible at this point. It won’t happen, my subconscious tells me in my head, but I shut off her annoying voice and mutter a prayer to Selene…hopefully she’ll grant me my wish.My reflection stares back at me and I blink and smile, showing little teeth to be sure that it’s really me. My hair is in smooth waves down my back almost reaching my waist and my plain brown eyes are lined with, black eyeliner to give my eyes this cute cat-shaped outline. Thanks t
Alexis’s POVDon’t be deceived. The thrill of turning a new age disappears completely after that day. It’s been a full complete week since my birthday and, other than those few minutes of sensation last week, I don’t feel any different than I was when I was 17.My parents say it’s perfectly normal but that my werewolf would naturally want to bond with me in the coming months. I guess I’ll be waiting until then.“We’re heading to the pack house for a meeting with Alexis and your mother and I probably won't be back until late tonight. Will you be okay alone?”My mother butts into the conversation “Or should we call Tonia to stay with you until we’re back?”I resist the urge to yell that I’m now an adult and settle for a loud disappointed sigh. I groaned loudly and replied. “Yes, I’ll be okay on my own, I don’t need you to call me a babysitter.”Surprised by my outburst, they both keep quiet and go on about packing their things. About five minutes later, they leave the house after giving
Alexandra’s POVIt was a mistake to come back….a very big stupid one.What the hell was I thinking about coming back to this damn pack? Everything is the same as I left it! Hell my wolf still gets crazy at the sight of Alexis, my sister. And I cannot stand the sweet scent that’s rolling off her body in waves.Is this a prank by the moon goddess? Did she get a kick out of making two blood-related siblings mates?"Mate isn’t sister." My wolf sneered angrily, all he wanted was to connect and mate. But he didn’t get it…he couldn’t understand it.I had been outside for close to six hours and now the sky had darkened considerably. The thing is, I want to avoid Alexis because I’m not sure if I can subdue my wolf in her presence, and I’m only left with two options. One is to go back tonight with Gena, and the other is to be a man and subdue my wolf so that I can at least stay a day with my family.In the end, I picked option number two and walked back home sullenly wondering what excuse I was
