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
ALEXANDER. The first time I set foot in the pack, all I thought about was the way to claim the throne back. I didn't want him to be happy. Alpha Nathan, happiness wasn't meant to be his. There was only one way I could make that happen. Hence, when the plan presented itself I took it. Tina was her name, her husband used to be the Beta of the pack but he had an accident that caused him to be disabled. If I married Tina, I could be the Beta. I would be close to the pack and ruin them as I had always planned. However, she ruined it. Her. My mate. She just had to be my mate. I hated her the moment I got her scent and also realized she was Tina’s stepdaughter. I became mean to her, reprimanding her whenever I got the chance. This way, she wouldn't have hope of us being together whenever she found out we were mates. I didn't need a mate anyway. I didn't believe in love. Love? What was that? My mother, because of love got betrayed, tortured, and eventually insane. She suffered every da
ALEXANDER. The sun seeped into my eyes and I instantly flung them open. I was still in my car, two gates away from Tina’s home. I stayed here overnight. ‘Yep, she didn't come back,’ Tyrant said. “You didn't sleep?” I asked and he nodded. ‘I waited for her scent, until now, she hasn't come back.’ He yawned, his voice tired.What the hell?! Where did she go? I opened the car door and Tyrant came forward. ‘Where are you going?’ He asked. “To her house. Maybe Tina knows where she went?” I asked. ‘You are wearing the same clothes and shoes from yesterday, Tina will ask questions.’ He reminded me and I sighed. I had completely forgotten. ‘She might be in school.’ Tyrant added. I drove back home and showered before dressing for work. Being a professor was the best way to build my qualifications to be Beta. This was why I took the job and it actually paid off. In school, she was nowhere in sight. I went to every class she was supposed to have for the day yet she wasn't in any of t
LANA. When I raised my eyes, I saw Alexander's burning gaze on me. I was shocked seeing him in the Alphas’s home with my stepmother. He stood and walked over to me. Before I could react, he held my wrist and pulled me away from the room. I couldn’t fight him off because his grip was firmer. Sparks rushed through the part he had touched me. “Let me go!” I yelled. He didn't respond to me. He dragged me with him until we got to the back of the house. Then he pushed me into the wall before caging me, placing both of his hands on my sides. His burning gaze on mine. “Are you fucking Isaac?” He asked, his utterance was so sudden that I was unable to process it. “What?!” “You are fucking him, aren't you? That is why you didn't come home last night right?” He asked again. My eyes went wide. How did he know I didn't come home last night, stepmom must have told him. “What the heck. How could you say that to me?!” I slapped his hands off me but he wouldn't move. “Answer the damn quest
