LENA’S P.O.V. I wanted him to stay with me. I didn't want to be alone for the night so I told him to stay. A part of me was disappointed with myself, that I couldn't control myself. I should have stood my ground and said that I didn't want him after all that he made me go through. He had a wife too, I shouldn't be with him right now. However, I couldn't. He was my mate and I loved him. I loved him very much and wanted him to be mine. He smiled when I said that he could stay. He wrapped his hands around my waist and carried me out of the bathtub. Getting to my room, he placed me on the bed gently. “The towel?” He asked. I was wet, the top I wore was very wet too, soaking my bed up. “There.” I pointed at the wardrobe. He walked toward it and grabbed my towel. Then he came back and wrapped it around me. “Let me pull this.” His eyes were on my face, not my chest. I didn't know why I felt relieved that he wasn't staring at me there. He wrapped the towel around my chest, securin
LENA. The next day, I got a period package. There was only one person who knew about my menstruation. I couldn't help but blush after I received the package. “Someone has a secret admirer,” Isaac stated. He was next to me when I received the package. I got into his car with the package on my lap. “I wouldn't say a secret admirer.” I blushed. “So you know him?” He asked but I did not respond. There was no way I would tell him Alexander was the man. Whatever relationship we had now was to be kept a secret. Yesterday, he helped me with Dad. He sprayed Dad’s room with sleeping fragrances hence he slept off. This way he cooked the food and disposed of the man’s potty pan. This morning when I went to Dad’s room, everywhere had been cleaned. I was shocked that Alexander took his time while Dad was sleeping. It just made me happy knowing that he did all of that for me. However, a part of me was scared that Alexander would find out that Dad was the one who wanted to kill him the other
TINA - LENA’S STEPMOTHER. “Lena, is your stepdaughter right?” Latifa asked as I picked up some clothes for the function we had next week. I rolled my eyes at the sound of her name. I had already forgotten about her ever since I got married to Alexander and moved to another house. The bitch stayed with her father which was good for me. I didn't have to deal with her and her disabled father. “Yes, why?” I asked, raising my head to meet Latifa’s face which was filled with makeup. She had a full foundation, contour, and bronzer on her face.“Well, my daughter told me she is dating Isaac now. Bianca came home yesterday and told me about it. You know she broke up with Isaac right?” Latifa glanced at me before moving her eyes to the dress on the clothes hanger. What? That bitch. How dare she date Isaac when she knew Annabelle was in love with him? It seems that bitch wants to die like her mother. Her useless mother, Camille. She was my friend until she started to boast about her mate
ANNABELLE. Rumor spread that Lena and Isaac were dating. I heard it through the pack group. I wasn't very familiar with the group but with every information concerning Isaac, I was always eager to know it. I had a crush on Isaac ever since we were little. He came to our house and played house with us. At that time I was only eight years old and he was about fourteen years old, five years and a few months older than I was. Yet, I had the biggest crush on him. He never noticed me anyway. We were just friends and I think he liked Lena more since she was older. Isaac was always bothered about my age. Anyway, seeing that he was now dating Lena, I was surprised. Yet, I was hurt. It hurt badly and I hated it. I hated the way my heart was pounding in my chest. The way I sabotaged my sister in my mind. Telling myself she wasn't good enough for him. She couldn't be his Luna because she was not good enough. Comparing myself to her and diminishing her in my head. I hated it very much becaus
LENA. I decided to do something special for Alexander since he had been helping me out in the house. He has also been spending the night with me. I knew our relationship wasn't official yet and it might never be. But, at this moment, I have decided not to think about it. I wrote some love letters for him. I didn't have the money to get him a physical gift but I could write him letters that would show him how much I appreciated him. Getting to his office, I looked around for the best place to place the letter. While looking around, I heard footsteps heading toward his office. Turning around, I got his scent which meant he was almost here. Damn, shouldn't he be in class right now? Instantly, I went and hid under the table. It was supposed to be a surprise! I held my breath so that he wouldn't get my scent. Then I prayed he wouldn't stay long in the office. “God, I can't stand her anymore. I am only doing this because I pity her. All this affection is for pity alone. Yet, I can't
ALEXANDER. Lena did not submit the assignment I had given them the last three weeks. I wondered how many assignments she didn't submit over these weeks. I gave her two more weeks to get it done, sending it back to her email when my phone screen turned on. I glanced over at it and saw the name ‘Alpha’ on the screen. I stretched my hand over the pile of files next to my laptop before grabbing the phone. After swiping to accept, I placed the phone on my left ear wondering what he wanted. “Alpha?” I called. “How are you, Alexander?” He asked, his voice warm. “Good,” I said, my eyes fixated on my laptop screen. “Your wife called me, Tina.” He started. My eyes rounded wondering what he was about to say. Why did Tina call him?! “You have been on pack patrol and hardly got time for her. You two are newly married, I think you should spend more time with her. You are allowed to quit teaching in the school, you know that?” I sighed. Tina, Goodness, I went to strangle her. “I know but
LENA. “I didn't kiss him! I didn't kiss him!” I shouted, moving closer. I placed one hand on the back of Alexander. His body was stiff like a rock. He wrapped both of his hands around Isaac’s shirt, his fingers digging into the rim, ripping the fabric of the vintage shirt. Isaac could only winc angrily, he was nothing compared to Alexander who had Beta powers. When Alexander punched him again, his lower lips burst and blood streamed down his jaw; staining his vintage shirt. It was scary and I gasped, bringing my palm to cover my mouth. I was in shock seeing how Alexander punched Isaac because he thought he had kissed me. Did he care? Didn't he ssy he was only with me because he pitied me? “Stop!” I grabbed his shirt from behind and tried pulling him back. I didn't know what part of my deluded mind thought that I could pull him back from Isaac. “Please, let him go!” I pleaded my voice on a high pitch. He seemed to hear me because I saw his hands gently soften on Isaac until they w
LENA. Isaac sat in the back of the car while Alexander drove the car. We had been silent, no one saying a word to the other. Isaac's lip was busted and it would take a while for him to heal. In order not to arouse any suspicions, we decided to take him to Alexander’s house for home treatment and rest. “So you two are mated to each other?” Isaac asked breaking the silence between us all. I glanced at Alexander who had his face straight on the road. Didn't he want to answer? I couldn't answer the question without him, although Isaac heard all that we said. “Oh, now you don't want to answer?” Isaac hissed. “Maybe I should call my dad and tell him all about it.” He adjusted, trying to pick up his phone from his back pocket. Alexander glanced over his shoulder, sighed, and then told him to, Stop! “Yeah, she is my mate. You can't let anyone know about it!” He glared at him from the rearview mirror. His response only made my heart tug painfully. I didn't know why. Even though I knew t
ALEXANDER. With my baby in her belly. Raising the baby and receiving child support, no man would be able to snatch her away from me. She was going to be mine forever and I had nothing to fear. This was the only way I could make her completely mine, trap her for myself alone. No one except for me has the right to call her ‘mine’ except for me. I could never bear the thought of another man claiming her. I just know it would hurt like shit. It would hurt so much and I would never be able to bear it. This was the reason for this plan. I knew very well that it was wrong and it would hurt her if she found out later but then I am certain she would forgive me. Lena had a forgiving heart. I had told Daniel to feed her alcohol. Plus, I used a masking cream to mask my scent. This way she wouldn't know that it was me. I walked into the room, and the light in the hallway cast my shadow on the floor, next to the bed frame that she laid on. I shut the door very quickly before she would be able to
LENA. “He just wants to be sure he can impregnante a woman. If you truly become pregnant then you can keep the child. He will always send child support,” Daniel explained. All I did was stare at him. I tried to talk but I was unable to. Daniel said that there was a man who had low sperm count. He had been on treatment for close to two years now and he finally wants to be sure he could inpregnant a woman now. Couldn't he just get a girl and impregnated her? I asked. “No, he needs a decent girl. You are the only decent girl I know. You need this support and connection to make it in this world. I suggest you take it for real because if you don't then you would have to go back to your pack.” He answered.I paused for some second, tears building in my eyes at the thought of going back to my back. I hated the reality of it. The idea of going back to my pack house. It seemed it was better for me to let myself be an incubator, a test experiment. I didn't have much choice, I had to do t
ALEXANDER. Six months and all I had done was watch her from afar. It was all I could do, watch her from afar. Watch her handle projects. Talk about cancer and ways to prevent it. I saw his much she loved it so I made Daniel include her in it all - god, she was so pretty and intelligent. I knew she was always smart but her environment was restraining her. Her exam was in three days and once she passed the examination, she was moving to another country where her college was. I wouldn't be seeing her again. I feared that she would find another man and fall in love with him. She had not for once thought about me or spoken about me. Edward told me, the guy I sent to watch over her. He was also the one I used in delivering the locket with her mother’s photo. Hence I came up with a plan. As much as I couldn't be with her right now, she was still mine and I loved her so much. It was not a good plan, Tyrant hated it as well. “It could affect her studies!” Tyrant said. I knew. I knew
LENA. It has been six months since I left the pack house. Six months since I was sent out by Tina and lied against by Alexander. I've been in Daniel’s house, helping him with every little thing, and this way I was learning myself. To be an oncologist wasn't easy. Taking the exams was hard work as well. This was the only way I had been able to cope though. To forget my past and move on from the pain. Daniel had been quite official with me. He was always on his own, and he only called me whenever it was time to work. “How old are you?” He asked me when I was helping him with some research. Daniel had a job to do, a critical one that involved two women which was to be done on the same day. I watched him with so admiration. “I turn nineteen in two days,” I said. It would soon be one year since I found out Alexander was my mate. Since the love that was never going to be reciprocated began. “Good.” “Your exam is in two weeks as well, you need to study harder for the next two weeks
ALEXANDER.I knew my mother was lying that day and I had to find out the truth. Lena was waiting for me and I really needed to meet you with her. However, I knew that if I left my family and didn't solve this issue it could come back and hurt us. I had to find out everything she was hiding hence I left my woman and never went back to her. My mother whom I had thought was innocent turned out to be the nightmare. She Released Isaac’s mom cheating videos to the public making her to be hated by her pack members. Mom returned to my father and my dad accepted her back. When he saw her, he was almost moved to tears which didn't seem like what a man who had abandoned his mate would do. Why did Isaac’s mom cheat in the first place? There were so many secrets and I had to untie them little by little while leaving my love life out of it. Lena went back home disappointed, I watched her and I desperately wanted to pull her to myself. But if I did, I would leave this unsettled and eventually pu
LENA. The next day, we were to prepare the meal for the entire family. I did as instructed. I stayed in the kitchen while the other maids did the dishing of food. As much as Joana wanted me to go over there, I just couldn't bring myself to face Alexander. “Lena, what do you plan to do now that high school is over?” Joanna asked while I chopped the legumes she had passed to me. We were now cooking for the workers including ourselves. I paused for a second before I continued. “Well, nothing. What I have in mind I don't think that I can do it again.” I continued to chop.“What?” She asked. I smiled a bit. “surgical oncologist.” Ever since I lost one part of my breast, I had done many resseaches and I figured many women were battling with this issue of breast cancer. I know how hard it is seeing myself with one breast. I would like to stop it from happening to many other women. However, my result from high school couldn't do it. “Really?” Joanna asked and I nodded. “You don't w
ALEXANDER. Her tears, they hurt me so much. I could feel his much pain she was passing through and how much it hurt that her mate was being so mean to her. It hurts me too. So much that I had to be so mean to her. But then Tina was staring. Looking at me. I couldn't pull her to me. Tina walked into the gym room few seconds after she left. I acted like I was upset. Like I believed every lies that I was told. “Why did she come here?” She asked. “To seek forgiveness. She wanted to be back in my life even after everything she did to me. I told her that I love only you and she can never take your space in my life.” I hissed feigning disgust. Tina nodded, happy with the lies I had told. She didn't know I was playing along with her. With them. By them I meant she and my mother. I had caught them, red-handed. They didn't know, they didn't realize that I knew of all their evil plan. The thought of it all just made me feel like shit. My mother had lied to me all these while, and what s
LENA. “What do you want?” He asked, his voice thick with indifference. He turned back to the stairmaster, walking on it, his muscles flaring. He sounded so mean. What did I ever do to him? “First off, what did I ever do to you? Why do you shut me off? I am your mate, not just some girl. You could have just rejected me like normal humans do. But no, you prefer to taunt me!” I yelled. I couldn't help but let it all out. Every part of me had begun to tremble from the anger that I felt. Why did I become so unlucky? Unlucky to find a man like this as a mate. One who was not easy to get over? Gently, he turned to me. His eyes were expressionless, nothing was in them. They were dry and he stared at me with no recognition. As if I shouldn't have spoken to him. As though my words were ridiculous to his ears. “Are you a part of the drama club? Is this your part you are playing out?” He questioned innocently. No sarcasm on his face. No anger, plain innocence. As if he didn't know what I was
LENA. The pack house has the maid house separate from the main house. One of the maids, her name being Joana. She was also the one who had opened the door for me when I came to the pack house. Joana had a scar on one side of her face, it wasn't very noticeable until she started to speak to my face. She took me to my room after I had agreed to stay. I was glad because the pack house was different from the main house. Although I would be working in the main house. I will try my best to avoid Alexander and Lady Tina. “So we are staying in the same room, is that okay?” She pushed the door back and we were met with one single room and another which was the bathroom. The room had two single beds, a small size beds. “I am glad we are staying together,” I said with a smile. She returned the smile. “Most of the time, you will told to clean the house. That is where we are lacking workers. You don't have to worry, we can do all of the work together.” I nodded and went to my side of the b
