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
Lady Tina grabbed my hair and pulled my head back. I shouted as pain radiated through me. Goodness, it hurt so much. I tried holding her hands to soothe the pain but she only pulled harder and it felt like she was pulling my hair from my scalp one after the other. “Stop, please,” I begged, tears running down both sides of my eyes. “Didn’t I warn you? I told you to never wash the dirty linen with the washing machine. Do you want to infect my clothing!” She tugged at my hair, increasing the pressure of her hands around my hair. Goodness, it hurt so much. “I am sorry,” I begged, sobbing hard. “Your father pees and poos all over the bed linen yet you wash it in the same washing machine I use for my clothes. Are you crazy?” She slapped my face, letting go of my hair and I fell to the floor. “It's cause I am late for school, I am sorry.” I quickly fell to my knees, begging her so she would let me go. “You are stupid. Stupid is what you are. You make excuses for your laziness. The next
Professor Alexander was at least ten years older than I was. He was the youngest professor in the college, making his age twenty-eight. This meant that he knew I was his mate yet he didn't tell me about it. Was this the reason he hated me? I had many questions for him. Our gaze met and his orbs glinted as if he could hear every one of my thoughts. “Get to your seat, Lana!” He growled, his voice vicious and mean as always. Quickly, I got up and went to my seat. For a second, I was confused but then I knew that my thought was right. Professor Alexander did not look surprised and he could smell me too. He knew I was his mate. He was probably waiting for me to come off age to reject me. Great, my bad luck extended to my mate. I had never thought that someone was coming to save me anyway. ‘No, he is supposed to save us. He is our only hope out of that house and now he's ignoring us?’I chuckled because my wolf was different from me. She sounded more feisty, the part of me that had never
Annalise helped me in the kitchen even when her mom kept complaining, she had said, “I am not tired, mom.”We set the table together. “Lana, come down when the visitor is here. You need to be here while we discuss, okay?” I nodded. Whatever it was, it had to be huge. Stepmom asked me to join them and even allowed Annalise to come home. Annalise joined me in my room, a gift box in her hand. “This is for you.” She handed it over to me. “Is this a bracelet?” I asked and she nodded. “Do you like it?” She asked as I unwrapped it. It was a beautiful gold bracelet and it had ‘my heart’ engraved on it. “Wow, it is super pretty,” I exclaimed. It wasn't an exaggeration. It was so beautiful and expensive for sure. “Do you have an idea who Mom’s visitor is?” She asked, almost whispering and I shook my head. “All I know is, he is important.” Annalise nodded. “Sis, I am going to get dressed now.” She patted my shoulder before leaving. I looked at the bracelet once again, running my thum
