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. Whoever that girl was, the one that came to me, she lied. She came to play tricks on me, she must have found out Alexander and I were mates. Alexander’s mom closed up the space between us, moved as fast as her legs could carry her. Every step she made resounded in my chest. She grabbed my arm and pulled me to her so suddenly with her condescending gaze. “You said it yourself, you want to work here as a maid. So why are you leaving?” She asked, her stare nothing but

    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

    ALEXANDER. “Thunk!” “Thunk!” “Thunk!” I could still hear the sound of the needle forced into my skin, and the liquid spreading through my body. I could feel the hands of the matron I had trusted around me as she released the entire thing into me. Just before my eyes completely closed up. Just like that, it began. Day after day, she came and injected me with venoms that stung. Day after day, I began to lose my senses. My memories began to jam with each other. I saw faces and memories I wasn't sure belonged to me. Voices and thoughts that weren't mine. “But why do we keep injecting him?” One of them, she. Tina. I wasn't sure, my memory was quite hazy had asked. “To jumble his memory, to make him do as we say. He is going to be Alpha and he will be under my control.” The older woman sat next to me, her fingers crawled over my skin. I couldn't quite place her voice. It sounded familiar, like I knew her but then I didn't. I couldn't recollect her face. Her memory was there, in m

    LENA“And who are you?” I raised a brow at the young man who boarded the plane. He wore a Barcelona jersey and dirty, crazed blue jeans. He looked ridiculous—mostly because he hadn’t even bothered to comb his hair. It was wild and all over the place.Still… he was handsome.Sharp jawline. Tall. Muscles filling out the jersey.But I was irritated. Why was he dressed like that? And more importantly—why was he on this plane? It was a private jet the Black Moon Pack arranged for me. They didn’t want anyone knowing their Alpha was receiving therapy.I looked up from my tablet, clearly demanding an answer.He glanced over his shoulder like there might be someone else I was talking to.“Oh, Dr. Lena, what they say about you is true,” he said with a smile.I raised a brow, unimpressed.“Well, I’m Dr. Austin. I’m your partner!” he added.My eyes widened. Dr. Austin? The director? The expert in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy—known for handling extreme cases in the most unique ways?Why was he dre

    LENA. SEVEN YEARS LATER. “A transfer letter?” I asked, dropping the letter in front of my boss, Rodrigo. Doctor Rodrigo was the name I loved to call him. “Yes.” He sighed. “There is a critical patient I want you to take.” I chuckled. “But you couldn't inform me prior? You just want to send me back to the west pack, why? I don't want to go there.” It had been six years. Six years I had avoided that place that traumatized me. Now, I was leaving fine. I was now a doctor, a successful one. Although I couldn't be an oncologist like I wanted to be, I seemed to find peace in speaking with people and healing them with my knowledge. I have had countless cancer patients come in here. I have had many patients who needed me after their boobs were cut off. I could relate to them hence it was easy for me. Now I have a Bachelor’s in Psychology. I was also a doctor of psychology which earned me the title Dr. As well as a licensed professional counselor (LPC) All of these in six years. Jenna

    LENA. The hospital was extremely nice. I had never been in a private hospital my entire life with private nurses. Daniel said they were perks of the contract which absolutely sat right with me. Being with a father who hated me and a stepmother who hated to see me, I never got the luxury of being treated in a hospital. All the times I had been sick, I got drugs from the store. Nurse Giana was my private nurse, she was extremely nice and she told me to settle in while my test result came in. I rubbed my belly, hoping I would be pregnant. I had to be pregnant so I could continue to enjoy these perks. As much as it pained me that I had to leave Alexander, I couldn't let go of this opportunity. Here I was being pampered like a celebrity when I had gone through scorn my entire life. This was it, the moment that I so desperately prayed for all these past years. Jenna walked in after Nurse Giana left. Jenna had a look of panic on her face as she stepped in. Yet, she looked extremely gorg

    ALEXANDER. Not long Daniel texted me, she fainted. I was working with the matron to know what really happened to her mother. “If you find anything, tell me,” I said. With this, I ran out of her office and got to my car as soon as soon as possible. What could have happened? Why did she faint? These were the questions that I had in my head throughout the entire drive. My head was calculating. Perhaps she felt dizzy because of the pregnancy? She really could be pregnant. She could be carrying my child. The thought of it alone made me so excited.And I was super happy to get to the hospital.Just when I was about arriving at the hospital, the matron sent a message to me. “Alex, it is truly connected to your mom and wife. You have to come over right now!” I read the text and somehow I was not shocked. My mother and Tina had already done so much. It was my fault for believing every words that came out of my mom in the first place. I forgot that even blood related people could still

    LENA. It had been three weeks since I and the stranger had intercourse. Three weeks but I haven't felt anything. Daniel walked into my room and dropped some books for me to read for my upcoming exam. I haven't been speaking to him since the incident between us. “Thank you, “ I whispered. “Uhm…” He paused at the doorpost, his eyes were on me when I raised my head. “Have… do you feel anything recently?” He asked. I had also been watching myself lately but then I had felt nothing. Werewolf pregnancy was faster than humans and even humans should feel pregnancy symptoms at two weeks. “No,” I said. “Lena, you can't be tricky with this. You have to tell me everything.” His words were more like a warning. I said nothing.Did he think I would hide the fact that I am pregnant? “I used the pregnancy strip yesterday, it showed negative. I am not pregnant, yet,” I said reading through the lines of the medical textbook. Daniel nodded before he left. I sighed. I wonder why I haven't gotte

    ALEXANDER. Lena had to be the one giving me the ability to wake up every day. The thought of she carrying my baby in her belly gave me so much strength to go ahead with my life. To find the truth and make everything right. The other day, I had seen her at the library, sitting by the window, lost in a book. She always looked the most peaceful when she was reading. There was something about the way she tucked her hair behind her ear, the way her lips moved slightly as she read, completely absorbed in the world of words.I had wanted to go to her. To sit beside her, to hear her voice again. To touch her. To feel the warmth I had been missing. To tell her she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seenBut I didn’t. I couldn't. We needed this space to sort things out. Also because this—this life she was building—was what I had always wanted for her. A life where she was free, where she had friends, where she wasn’t bound to me and the chaos that came with our families. I would do them

    LENAI shut the door to my room behind me, my heart heavy with emotions I couldn’t quite name. Daniel’s anger still lingered in the air, suffocating me even though he was nowhere near. What was he hiding? His reaction had been so extreme, so defensive. Why would he get that angry over me checking his laptop? The more I thought about it, the more unsettled I became. What was so big about the stranger that he didn't want me to know? I sighed and moved over to my window seat, the place where I often curled up with my books. It overlooked a small garden that belonged to the neighbors. The roses there were blooming, their soft pink petals swaying gently in the breeze. Usually, the sight calmed me, but today, my heart wouldn’t stop racing. I tried to get lost in the pages of my medical textbook, but the words blurred together. No matter how hard I tried to focus, my mind kept drifting.Daniel’s behavior was odd, but what was more confusing was the stranger. His letter had left an impressio

    LENA. The warm water cascaded down my body, washing away the remnants of sleep and the soreness that lingered from the night before. As I stood under the spray, I let my mind wander. The stranger’s words from the letter replayed in my head, over and over again.“My future oncologist…”Why did that line make my chest feel tight? It was ridiculous. I shouldn’t be thinking about him like this — whoever he was. The only thing that mattered was the deal we made and what I stood to gain from it. Still, the way he had written those words… as if he saw something in me that even I struggled to believe.I shook my head, pushing the thoughts aside. No use getting caught up in fantasies. I had work to do.After drying off and slipping into a simple white top and jeans, I grabbed my bag and headed out. The library was quiet today, just the way I liked it. The smell of books and the soft hum of silence made it easy to forget the weight pressing on my shoulders. I found my usual corner by the windo
