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
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

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 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. 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. “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. He didn't come. I didn't go home. I waited until it was dusk when I knew he wasn't ever going to come for me. Yeah, the dusk two days later when I finally realized that he wasn't going to come. Then I realized that Dad was right. I was bad luck and no one would spend their life with me. The realization hit me like the cold in winter, I wasn't prepared for it. So now I just stare into space, taking it all in. I remembered what my father said to me, the words he stated, and how he did. The realness in his eyes and I realized that he was right. He had always been right. I was bad luck and that was what I had always been. Mom died because of me and he lost his legs because of me. My mate was with his new wife he married. Everything was somehow connected to me. “You weren't the one that ran that night, it was Annabelle. You only took the blame for her because you didn't want her to get in trouble. Don't blame yourself for the accident, it wasn't you he went out to loo
LENA. The next morning, I woke up with so much joy. I was happy that I would finally be with Alexander for the rest of my life. By five in the morning, I was done attending to my dad. I paid extra attention as this was going to be the last time I would be taking care of him. He was awake by the time I was done cooking. I sat in front of him and placed the food on his lap. He didn't say a word to me even as I watched him. “Dad?” I called. He did not respond. He gently took some of the toasted eggs into his mouth. It was as if I wasn't in the room with him. He had his eyes on the plate, a sad expression etched on his face. Disdain spreading in both of his eyes. “Dad, I want to hug you.” I let out. I wanted nothing more than to wrap my hands around him as this might be the last time I would see him. I saw his hands pause before he raised his head and looked at me. He stared at me, the anger in his eyes ever strong. They showed me how much he hated me and blamed me for the things th
LENA. I didn't have any choice but to tell him. He froze, staring at me for some seconds. He ran his hand in his hair and then placed one hand on his waist. “Your dad wants me dead?” He asked “Because you took the beta position and his wife. You can't come in here.” I shook my head. He sighed, running one hand in his hair again. “I don't even like her. I don't want the position either. I just…” He sighed. “If I stop, will it make him happy? Will you come with me if I put an end to all these?” He asked.Put an end to what?I wondered what he was talking about. “Look, your hand is bleeding. He hurt you that much, right? I want to take you away from here, Lena. I don't care about anything anymore right now, let's leave together.” I hid my wrist behind my body, just staring at Alexander as he talked. Dad had thrown the lamp at me because I came late and this was the reason I started to bleed. “What are you talking about, Alexander? What are you leaving behind?” I asked. He starte
