LENA. “You were right,” I said shamefully getting back in my dad’s room. I had never been humiliated in my life, humbled, and felt like nothing as much as I did that day. My dad laughed and reminded me that I was bad luck. Alexander realized that sooner and ran. He said that I was going to remain by his side forever and take care of him until the day that I did. He mocked me. He laughed and his laughter resonated within me. It hurt so much that it felt like I was going to die. Yet, I did not exchange words with him. I went back to my room and smiled gently yet tears slid down both sides of my eyes. I thought that I was never going to come into this room again. The heavens must have laughed at me when I thought that my next room was going to be the one we would share in our new apartment. I was dumb to have really thought that we were going to be together. Ha ha. I wiped my tears and walked over to the bathroom where I had a relaxing bath. I stayed in the shower for hours, allowin
LENA. I couldn't discern what was happening, all I knew was Alexander's mother had replaced him. I thought she was bedridden and was too weak to stand. Alexander told me these which I now clearly see was a lie. Someone who was bedridden three days ago shouldn't be able to walk perfectly in So Kate Louboutin shoes. How could she carry them efffortlessly? Well, she was pretty which was the reason she was accepted by the others except me who found her suspicious. After she was done teaching, I ran up to her as she headed to her office which was for Alexander. “Hi!” I was out of breath by the time I caught up to her. She walked really fast like she wanted to meet up with something or someone. Her eyes glazed over when she saw me and her blue eyes which looked like that of Alexander dilated. “You?” She smiled but the smile didn't reach her eyes. She looked like a mean mother. “You know me?” I asked surprised with the expression. The first and only time I went into her room, she was un
LENA. Isaac was just as shocked as I was. Why was Alexander’s mom with Lady Tina? Where was Alexander? Why would Alexander’s mom try to kill Isaac? I did not understand even one of the things that was happening. I had to try and find answers to my questions. “What do you plan to do?” Asked Isaac. I didn't know what to do. To be honest, I couldn't walk up to them since they both hate me obviously. But since they were both here, I could go to Alexander’s home and check if he was there. I needed to meet with him and ask him a bunch of questions. “Isaac, I am going to see Alexander. Distract Lady Tina and his mother for me.” I held his arm and squeezed it before running off. Luckily, there was no one to stop me from ditching school. Soon, I arrived at Alexander’s home; the one he shares with Lady Tina. My heart pounded hard in my chest. I was scared of what I would find. Maybe there was no other explanation for all that was happening. He really did not like me, maybe that was the o
LENA.He crawled into my room after I had opened the window for him to come in. It was Isaac, and he didn't look so good. “Are you okay?” I asked as I pulled back for him to sit on the bed with me. He shook his head. “She is evil, Lena!” He raised his eyes and all I saw was pain. He ran his hand upward and back into his hair. “Alexander’s mom?” I asked and he nodded. “She is evil! She released the videos of my mom and guess who gave her those videos? “ He raised his brows and I shook my head lightly cause I didn't know who had done so. “Alexander, that man gave it to his mother. They planned to ruin my mom all because of a past relationship. Now, I am the son of the Luna who cheated on the Alpha!” He hissed with discomfort and lowered his gaze back to the bed which we sat on. I could feel his pain so much. I didn't grow up with a mother so I understood what It was like without one. “What do you want to do?” I asked. He shook his head. “I don't know. Dad has completely turned
LENA. Isaac told me that everything was weird and there was more to see than they showed. The pack had become more silent since the reign of the new Luna. Alexander had stopped coming to the school, and he had moved into the pack house. A new teacher replaced him and took us for the rest of the semester. Everything changed. It became quiet and I hated it. Every day, I woke up with the hope that I would see Alexander crawling up my window. But none of that ever happened, I didn't see my mate and I missed him so much. There were days I cried all day on the floor of my bathroom and other days, I cajoled myself to be strong. Lady Tina and Alexander’s relationship got stronger. I knew because I was stalking her page. She posted all about her husband who was the Beta and also the son of the Alpha. It was all over the pack page and everyone talked about it. It broke my heart every day. Isaac helped me go through each day. We became closer because he helped me to study for our final
LENA.“Hold on, who are you?” I asked, turning to her with an apt attention. She mentioned Alexander’s name when no one but me, Isaac, and Alexander himself knew he was my Nate. Who the hell was she? “Knowing who I am is not important right now, Lena. Your mate is in trouble and if care is not taken, you are going to lose him!” She warned, her eyes serious. Fear coursed through me instantly. Alexander? Could he really be in trouble? Or this woman was playing a prank on me. I stared at her for some time before giving a head shake. “I don't believe you,” I said. “Sure. I knew you were not going to believe me but listen to me at least. Alexander needs your help. At this point, the pack needs your help too.” She went silent after, probably allowing me to think what she had said through. For some second, it felt like I was in a movie. Because what did she mean by the pack needed my help? The help of an ordinary cursed omega? “Yes, your help. I know it is hard for you to believe. But t
LENA. My heart pounded greatly in my chest as I headed for the pack house. Every part of me told me it was not right and the sweet wouldn't work. Just why would an ordinary sweet make me change? I panicked as I neared the pack house. However, seeing him again seemed to heal a part of me. How could the same person who caused my heart to ache bring relief to it? The thought of it seemed so unfair. I just wanted to be happy without feeling all of these hurt and my happiness seemed to be with him alone. And if truly he was in danger, I would do anything to save him. To make him happy because his happiness was mine as well. I swallowed as I placed a knock on the brown door that led to the pack house. I knocked on the door, my heartbeat synonymous with a club. I heard footsteps approaching, someone coming to open up the door. Finally, the door was pulled back by someone. A maid. She sized me up, her eyes moved down my body and then back to my face. “Who are you?” the maid asked. “Uhm…
LENA. “You came for the maid’s job, right?” She asked. She didn't mention my name. No one had mentioned my name ever since, did the sweet work? “And the maid job you shall have, Lena!” Her tone sounded close to that of a witch. I mean those in cartoons that are normally scary, that was exactly how she sounded. I didn't want the maid job anymore not after I had witnessed Alexander smooching lady Tina. I never should have made my way here. “I don't need the job anymore,” I said planning to turn around and leave. She closed up the space between us, moved as fast as her legs could carry her. She grabbed my arm and pulled me to her. “You said it yourself, you want to work here as a maid. So why are you leaving?” She asked, her stare nothing but deadly. Her gaze fell on me like stones of fire. She grabbed me so hard, too hard in fact as if she was making it mandatory for me to work in the pack house. “You walked in here yourself hence you are going to be working in the pack house, w
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
