Alexis’s POV “Since when do you bother about our whereabouts?” Mom asked me.I stared at her. Was she for real right now? “It’s almost two days now and we’ve heard nothing from you both,” I replied.Dad sighed. “Look, Lexi. Your mom and I had to go cool off after the offending words your brother said to us. Let’s not start fighting.”“I’m not fighting. It was Mom who gave me an incredible answer,” I responded, staring at her. Why was everyone harsh today?“I hope you understand. We were hurt and had to go let off some steam. We’re better now and back home. Isn’t that all that matters?” Dad said. He seemed to be more calm and collected than Mom.I shrugged. “I guess,”“Is your brother still here?” Mom asked.I nodded and walked back to the kitchen. Gena was almost done with cooking. “I heard voices. Are your parents back?” She asked.“Yeah,” I replied. ***It was dinner time when Alexander finally got out of his room. He got closer to the dining table and when he saw me; he looked aw
Alexander’s POV My heart thumped against my chest as I realized that I just voiced out what I had been keeping inside of me for five years. I was so angry and frustrated. All the pent up emotions I concealed for a long time were finally revealed.Immediately, I saw her come out of the house, I knew I was in trouble. My wolf was threatening to surface, and I was doing my best to subdue it.When it felt like I was finally succeeding in keeping my wolf in check and stopping it from reacting or taking her in my arms, she broke down and said words that ignited all the emotions that raged inside of me.My wolf broke free from where I had him cornered and I couldn’t hold back as I told her she was my mate. Seeing the confusion and shock in her eyes had guilt sinking into my stomach.“How?” she finally spoke after a moment of intense silence.I kept quiet and looked away.“How, Alex?” she reiterated.“Look, I don’t know, okay?” I replied, raising my voice as I raked my fingers through my hair
Alexis’s POV“Hey, you. You seem so happy this morning,” Gena said to him.He grinned. “Yeah. It’s because of you,” he replied and leaned in to kiss her lips.I coughed, which broke them apart. “I had something in my throat,” I said when all eyes were in my direction.Alex let go of Gena, took the bottle of water he came for and left the kitchen without sparing me a glance. I had expected that he would treat me indifferently after his confession, but no. Foolish of me to have thought of that. The jerk! I fumed.“Alexis?” Gena jolted me out of my thoughts. “Uh?” I looked at her.“You wanted to see me,” she said.“Oh, yeah,” I remembered the sole reason why I had came down from my room.“What for, if I may ask?” Mom asked.“Don’t worry, mom. It’s nothing an old lady should hear,” I teased her as I held Gena’s hand, leading her out of the kitchen.“Are you calling your mother old?” Mom called after me.“Yeah!” I replied, laughing.“No breakfast for you!” She yelled jokingly.I chuckled
Alex’s POVDespite telling Alexis that she was my mate, I concluded in my heart that I wouldn’t treat her as one. With the recent happenings and what I have discovered all those years, I could no longer deny the fact that Alexis was truly my mate. There was no mistaking. The moon goddess knew all about this. But why? The question kept coming to my head, but as usual, there was no answer.I was in my father’s study, buried in one of his books concerning the long history of the pack. I needed a distraction and his library seemed to be the perfect escape.A knock came on the door. “Yes,” my answer came out more gruffly than I expected.“It’s Gena,”I heard Gena’s voice outside the door.I exhaled deeply. “Come in,” I said, despite knowing that I didn’t want to be disturbed. But, there was no way I could have her standing by the door, especially after I displayed affection for her earlier this morning.The door knob turned and she walked in. “I was wondering where you were,” she said, smi
Alexis’s POV I stood up to leave in frustration and anger as Alex sat beside Gena but stopped when I felt pulled back. I looked to see a tiny line of my cashmere top stringed to Alex’s hand. It was caught on his ring. We stared at each other like what the actual fuck was going on? This was only seen in movies and not in real life! The intensity of the gaze made my knees buckle and I snapped off the line from the hem of my top, and I walked away. I couldn’t bear that look he gave me. It made my heart flutter, weakened me to my knees and my stomach churned. I couldn’t be feeling this way for my brother, but it seems since he told me he was my mate, and my mate confirmed it, the mate bond had become stronger. This feeling was threatening to consume me. I sighed deeply as I fell flat on the bed. I placed my hand on my chest and squeezed it. What was happening to me? ***** The next morning, I contemplated going downstairs. I didn’t want to see my brother or Gena, especially after wh
Alex’s POVSeeing Alexis lose her footing on the stairs, the mate bond between us suddenly kicked in, and I found myself hurrying to her rescue. I had my arms wrapped around her protectively before she could fall. Her sudden sharp intake of breath almost made me lose my senses and throw caution to the wind.When her eyes opened to finally grace mine, I got lost in those twin pool brown orbs of hers and I ached to hold her this way. With the mate bond smothering, I got back to my senses and let go of her like she was some flame that burnt me just by touching her.She almost fell again, but I caught her by the wrist and pulled her, ensuring she was standing properly. “You should watch where you are going,” I said to her more coldly than I had intended to.“I didn’t ask you to come help me,” she retorted and raced up the stairs.What? I was flabbergasted. Did she just wave aside the fact that I saved her from falling, and act rude to me? The effrontery!“Did you see that?” I inquired f
Alex’s POV“Welcoming the daughter of the Reinhardt family, Alexis Reinhardt,” I heard the announcer say and I turned in the direction of the door to see my sister, only to be confronted by a drop dead gorgeous woman in the stead of my sister. My jaw dropped, but I was quick to maintain composure as I stared at her.Like a moth attracted to a flame, I was immediately drawn to her. She wore a green emerald dress that hugged around her, revealing the symmetrical lines of her body contours. The long slit from her thigh to her legs, exposing her satin skin was enough to drive any virile man crazy. Her hair was tied up in a bun, with gemstones embedded in them, leaving two curled locks dangling from each side of her face. With each step she took in those silvery stilettos matching her necklace that sat idly on her neck, giving a more detailed look to her cleavages, she seemed to draw from the very core of my soul.I could see all eyes were on her from both genders. She was the only one wit
Alexis’s POV“Uh?” I mouthed, just to be sure. I was still in disbelief.He lifted my chin with his finger as his eyes pierced into mine. “You’re my mate, princess,” he said.My toes curled as butterflies filled my stomach. Did he just call me princess? My head swirled and almost burst with excitement. The hottest guy in the room just called me princess!I regained my composure and looked over at my parents. They were smiling and holding hands. Excitement was written all over them as they watch me get mated to someone.I looked back at alpha Kane. His eyes were smiling despite the fact that his lips didn’t move. I was his mate, but he wasn’t mine. My wolf didn’t feel any mate bond, or was she hiding this one from me like she did with Alex?I began to hear whispers again from the ladies, about how I was stealing all the attention, and how I just got mated to the hottest man in the room.I turned to see my brother in the arms of Gena. I had no idea if he heard it all as he was as expres
Alex's POVA month laterI was relaxing at home after training when Alpha Mark sent for me. I sat on the porch of the cabin I shared with Alexis, sipping a cup of coffee.Alexis was back from work. She had been trained on how to teach young pups basic things since she had always loved to have kids around her. She was reading a novel beside me on the porch. We had been through a lot and thought we had found a life here. A new beginning, we called it. Away from our parent's tainting.The sound of footsteps approaching us made us alert and turned to the direction. I looked up to see Killian, a pack member of Greenwolf walking towards the cabin. Killian was a newfound friend that we both got to be a lover of the game.“Good afternoon,” he greeted with a smile.“Hello Alexis, looking beautiful as always,” he teased Alexis as he always did.“You've come to get your ass whooped as usual,” I joked. We both played soccer around this time of the day. “Don't get over your head, I might just co
Alexis's POV He groaned, his tongue slipping into my mouth again. His hand glided over my shirt and he pushed back, kneeling in-between my legs as he unbuttoned his shirt, while I pulled my top over my head. I felt Alex's hand grip the waistband of my pants. I lifted my butt so he could remove them and he dropped them off by the side of the bed before staring down at me.Tyson kissed me gently, his lips moving against mine and he sucked my lower lip in his mouth. Sparks rush over my skin when grinded his hips against mine. His erection pressing against me and I gasp at the feel of the sparks rushing over my skin straight to my pussy.His lips devouring mine as he tastes every inch of my mouth, his tongue demanding as it fights mine for dominance which I let him have. His hand moved down my side and he growled against my lips when he cupped my breast. I rolled my hips against him, my hand moving down his chest and abs to pants. I pushed it down a little, his dick now free as he took o
Chapter 130Alexis's POVTwo Weeks LaterLiving here in the Greenwolf pack these past weeks has been incredible and one of the best things that’s ever happened to me since Alpha Kane kidnapped me to the Nightwolf pack months back. It's been peaceful. The shadows of Julia and Richard lurking in the shadows no longer loomed over us. Their punishment was out of our hands now, with the council in charge. All that mattered to me was that Alex and I could finally move forward without looking over our shoulders. Alpha Kane was dead too and the new Alpha was in no way interested in us. I leaned against Alex’s shoulder as we sat curled up in the living room of the house we’d been given, watching a movie. I had never imagined that after everything, we would find peace in such a simple way. I glanced up at him, taking in the relaxed smile on his face. He pulled me closer in between his laps, placed my head gently on his chest and I felt my heart skip a beat. “Do you like the movie?” I asked s
Alex's POVThe Next DayAs I stood in front of the Shadow Pack’s central gathering hall. I had an important task at hand. Exposing my parents' horrible deeds.The thought twisted my stomach. It wasn't an easy task but I knew it was something I had to do. It was time everyone else knew what they've been up to eventually and I would never want to be caught as an accomplice covering up their evil acts. Alexis stood beside me, her hand gripping mine tightly. Her presence was a reminder of what was important, of why I had to do this. We had both been victims of my parents' twisted ambitions. She had been kidnapped, just like me, raised in lies and manipulated for power.After the fight settled, I had called Beta Conor to inform the elders and pack members that I would love to address everyone before the coronation day. Beta Conor didn't question me since I was going to be the new Alpha. He knew he had to do whatever I wanted so he didn't get on my bad side. The elders were inside, along
Alex’s POVThe Moonlight was meant to make the atmosphere peaceful on a normal circumstances but today its gives an unsettling feeling to the turmoil within me. The air was thick with tension, and I could feel the weight of it pressing down on me. My heart pounded in my chest at the thought of what we were about to do and the danger it holds.Battleground isn’t on my favorite places to be and have been doing more of it this past few months. As I crouched behind the tree line, I glanced over at the fighters from the Greenwolf pack who had come to help me. I looked into their face and the realization that I was bring some of them to their graves dawned on me. Yet, they knew what was at stake. My eyes scanned the area ahead, and I could see the goons guarding the place where Alexis was being held. Alpha Kane was here, his car with the his pack's crest was packed outside and so were his warriors. I gritted my teeth. A big coincidence to be here say night he's here as well. Thank the Mo
Alpha Kane’s POVSitting in my office, I stared out the window at the night sky. My thoughts raced, circling back to the one thing I couldn’t stop thinking about, Alexis. It been weeks since she left. The Elders are now growing impatient, constantly asking where Alexis was and when the Luna ceremony would finally take place. I had tried my best to come up different excuses like telling them she was visiting her parents, but I knew that lie wouldn’t hold up much longer.Richard told me she was back to the pack but he didn't wants to bring her back right away so he can put Alex under control but now he had called.Alexis was being held at the outskirts of the Shadow Pack. He said I could come and get her.That smug bastard. Richard had been playing me from the beginning. He had promised me Alexis as a term for our alliance and I had no choice but to take her as my Luna, despite knowing she wasn’t my mate. Richard had later revealed while we were searching for they that Alexis and Alex
Alexis’s POVIt had been a few hours since Alex left the house. He went to see Anton in town. After much thought about what to do, we felt the right thing is to bring in someone more powerful and influential. I wasn’t sure what was making me feel so uneasy, but the nagging sense that something wasn’t right refused to leave me. Maybe it was because of what happened the last time he left me alone in the house or it was just the after-effects of everything I had been through in the past few months. Whatever it was, I couldn't shake it.I tried to distract myself by checking through reels online. But none of it helped. Then, I heard the front door open. I went outside, expecting to see Alex but instead, standing in the doorway were Julia and Richard. “Lexis, how are you doing sweet?” Julia asked, with a sweet smile as she walked towards me.“I'm okay,” I said, turning my back to leave.“What of Alex?” Richard asked, scanning around with his eyes.“Out to get things,” I responded quickly
Alexi's POV A few days later, I was summoned to the Council meeting. They told me they've consulted the pack shaman and a date will be picked soon for the Alpha's coronation. I might not be able to undergo the necessary training. They want to hasten the whole process. I sat in the room and I couldn't help but wonder how the Elders would react when they found out my parents had been orchestrating and manipulating lots of things going on in this pack. Richard expected to make a move during the meeting but I said nothing and after the meeting, I slipped out to avoid unnecessary talks. I knew after I left, there would be other talks between the elders so I made my way home quickly. Julia was busy. She was in charge of getting the whole thing needed for the coronation.On getting home, without wasting any more time, I grabbed my things and made my way back to the Greenwolf Pack. The drive felt like it took forever. I kept imagining Alexis in some cold, dark place, held prisoner because o
Alex's POV “Fuck,” I banged the steering wheel. All hopes were dashed when my instincts told me I was being followed. Meeting Alpha Mark was meant to be a secret but unfortunately they knew I was up to something now. We've been portraying the good children since we went back to Shadow Pack and tried to uncover things in secret. We've looked for clues at home when our parents weren't around. Checked out their study room and the documents but nothing. After Ophelia said every lead she gets has been a long list of dead people, I knew this was out of my hands and my parents were too influenced, the more reason I had to involve Alpha Mark. Now I'm being followed which says a lot. Whoever was following me must be working for my parents or Alpha Kane, yet Alpha Kane will still have to report back to Richard. I stepped on the accelerator and drove faster, turning in different directions, to confirm the black sedan car was trailing after me and I was right, it took every turn I took as wel
