All my attention was on the stage."-Student Hester from room 102, please present your project."When I heard those words, my heart almost stopped. What the hell was I going to do now? I had studied for weeks for that project and now I had nothing. I didn't know what I was going to say at that moment, but I walked up on stage with shaking hands and looked at everyone present. However, at that moment, I could tell that everyone present was looking at me in amazement at what was behind me. I didn't know what was going on, but as I turned my gaze I saw Bennett standing there with his black eyes. He looked like he was about to punch someone, as his dangerous aura spread throughout the room. I had no idea what was going on, but when I saw Anna point over my shoulder, I quickly turned around and my eyes widened like two saucers. I couldn't help but take a step back as I looked at the hug
I felt Freddy's grip on my arm. With a grunt, I looked up and couldn't take it anymore."Let go of me! You're an idiot! I told you never to touch me again in your life!" I shouted over and over. "Fuck, Hester, why don't you accept that you still love me? No one else will love you, only I can make you happy," he replied."Happy? You slept with Delilah for two fucking years? You betrayed me!" "Shut up. That was a mistake. I never spoke to that bitch again. I should never have slept with her or fallen for her fucking seduction, but now I'm sure of what I want. And whether you like it or not, you'll have to come back to me. I'll never accept you with another man. You are mine, Hester!"His voice sounded powerful and domineering. He wanted to lock me up with him, but why? Every girl in the school was in love with him. He could have anyone.Without saying anything, I let out a big growl and pushed him with all my might. "Get away!"As soon as he swung, I ran into another one of the corrid
The car started up and left me standing there, looking at Bennett with a desperate expression. He looked determined, like he was planning something. I knew something was going to happen, it was all my fault! As I was wandering in my thoughts, Anna and Karla ran up to me, next to them was Max, who took my hand. "Hester, are you okay?" he asked me. I looked at him and remained silent until Anna spoke, "What was that all about, Hester, what are you hiding?" asked Anna. I looked at them and lowered my face. I couldn't tell them the truth, Bennett had ordered me to, so I just apologized and said goodbye. They nodded without forcing me to tell them anything, they just gave me space. After that, I walked to the cab stand and took one back home. The ride was short and, as soon as I got home, I quickly went up to my room. I threw myself on my bed and began to cry silently. I couldn't tell my mother what had happened, she couldn't have any worries because of her heart. So I just cried
Delilah's friends tried to grab me, but I kicked them to push them to the ground. On the other side, I grabbed Delilah and punched her in the face that made her let out a painful groan. We were both ready to not let the fight go, but in an instant, Max ran to me and grabbed my waist as he pulled Delilah's grip off my arm. "You're a bitch, Hester, everyone knows it," she shouted mockingly. I couldn't help but punch her in the face until two boys held her down and pulled us apart. "You call me a bitch? Maybe they should all know your story, don't you think?" I said smiling mischievously. At that moment, Delilah's eyes widened and her movements stopped. "I think it's time to tell the truth..." I said, turning my gaze to those present "Everyone here knows Delilah, but you've never asked her why she suddenly disappeared?" "Shut up, you have no right!" she shouted tormentedly at me. I ignored her words and looked around at everyone around me. "This girl used to be my best friend, bu
After a couple of hours at the mall, I came home and helped my mother cook. She loved to cook, but was often too exhausted to do so. On the other hand, when it got to be six o'clock in the evening, Karla showed up at my house with a woman in a white robe. "Please, we're just going to see some friends in town, it will be in a lounge at the Grand Monte Hotel," Karla said in a pouty voice. My mother nodded and sighed, as I arched my eyebrow. As soon as I left the house, I looked at Karla and gave her an odd expression, "Weren't we going to the club?" "Obviously, yes," Karla said looking at Anna in the car. "Come on, we're going to have a lot of fun. Maybe we'll find a man for you," Anna added winking at me. I looked at her with an arched eyebrow and shook my head. "I'm not thinking about that," I said. "Hester, it's time for you to move on. You can't stay single because of that idiot ex-boyfriend of yours. Maybe today you'll find the guy of your dreams or better,
Bennett seemed to be glaring at me without even saying a word. At his dangerous aura, I shook my head and swallowed dryly.... "Hester, I'd like you to meet a friend" Anna said. "A pleasure, Hester" I hinted at the boy. The boy reached out his hand and took mine, kissing my palm. "That's a beautiful name, would you like me to get you something to drink?" he asked. At first I didn't want to drink, but just thinking about everything that had happened in my life the last few days, I just wanted to forget it all. Besides, Anna would be driving and I would be staying at her place, so I just shook my head and asked for a vodka. The guy smiled and went after the drink. On the other hand, I fought myself not to turn my gaze back to the second floor where Bennett was. Soon, the guy brought the drinks and set them on the table. "I'd love to stay, but I have to meet some friends," the boy said. "Oh, really?" I said flirtatiously "Yeah, maybe I'll see you guys later" he said wink
From Bennett's point of view.It had been an exhausting week and I needed to relax. After all, I used to go to the club with some friends so I contacted my beta and headed there. However, that night the manager informed me that one of the VIP rooms had been reserved for a high school alumni celebration. When I heard that, I frowned. I kept thinking about the scene I experienced when I visited that place. Despite that, I shook my head and just got out of the car and went up to the second floor of the club, where I used to sit with a couple of members and my friends. However, when I finished the pack business, I noticed that all the men were staring at a girl in the vip area. Without hesitation, I turned my gaze and saw her. Her back was beautiful, her skin clear. Her dress was fitted at the waist, exposing one of her legs.My heart began to beat uncoordinated and my breathing quickened. I didn't understand what was going on, until the woman spun around and her eyes locked onto m
I could see Hester's eyes filled with tears and her face no longer radiated brightness."Why did you do it, Freddy? I.... I loved you... and you just went off to fuck Delilah. Now I... I'm unhappy and I'm a laughing stock. You... you're to blame." Hester said over and over as she cried. Hearing that, my eyes widened like two saucers. Suddenly, my mind flashed back to that day, when Hester told me that Freddy had cheated on her with another girl. Fuck, was it true, had my brother done that?Unable to ramble on in my thoughts, I heard again what Hester was saying."...I ended that relationship. I didn't want to see you again after you cheated, but you... you keep making my life miserable with that bitch. Why don't you stop following me? I'm exhausted," she said plainly. She didn't seem to have any idea who she was talking to, let alone what she was saying. She was just venting to the wrong person.I sighed and tried to push her off my chest, but she spoke again "I want you to stop fo
My whole body trembled as I looked at my mother. She looked so helpless, without energy. Tears were falling from my cheeks and crashing against her pale face "Mother, it won't be long now.... The paramedics will be here any minute.... Please bear it a little longer..." I sobbed in pain. Damn it, I didn't understand what was taking the paramedics so long.I tried to call Lucas, but my fingers were too shaky to dial his number. "Ah!" I screamed, throwing the phone into my purse"Mom, come on, breathe.... Please... Mom" I said over and over until I finally heard the door. Within minutes, two burly men came up to the room with a stretcher."Miss, give us some room, we need to get your mother to the hospital now" said one of the men. I immediately gave way to them and walked away as I watched them lift my mother onto the stretcher. I'll go with you," I said, getting into the ambulance. The men looked at each other and nodded without reproaching me. I took my mother's hand and did not
Walter went to the pack hospital with his officers. I, on the other hand, felt very bad for Walter. In fact, I was very surprised by everything Bennett had said.It was as if he was a demon who was only out to make me suffer.At that moment, a million questions ran through my mind.I needed to know everything. Thinking about it, I walked into the hospital room and confronted them. He had a bandage on his head, but he was still fine."What happened after he killed your mate?" I couldn't help but ask.Walter gave a groan and sat down, gesturing for me to sit next to him. I felt a little hesitant, but I walked over to him and sat on the
Walter looked at me before he tightened his grip and lunged towards Bennett, holding his neck."You can't keep talking to my fiancée like that! Just because I'm calm now you can't keep being a fucker. Your whole kingdom will fall!" Walter snarled in anger.Bennett raised an eyebrow as if ignoring Walter's words. With a sharp movement, Bennett grabbed Walter's hand and pulled him away from Walter's neck."Why are you so calm? Are you trying to show a false side to that woman? You're a coward. You live on dreams, too. Your threats, I don't give a damn. You're just useless, while I'm the fucking king!" Bennett growledWalter tried to hit Bennett, but his officers shouted "Alpha Walter! This is not our pack... we
Derek looked at me with his sharp eyes "Shut up! If you weren't Bennett's mate, you wouldn't even be alive. He must have killed you that day when you humiliated him by saying you were his mate!"As soon as I heard Derek's words, my eyes widened in shock. His words were like a sharp dagger plunging into my chest. It was clear that his officers were as evil as Bennett. No one cared about anyone's life, they only desired power. Before Derek said anything else, I saw a smirk on Walter's lips "I see Alpha Bennett is weakening. He even sends his beta to do his job" said Walter.At that moment, Walter's officers wanted to intervene and pull Derek away, who took a step towards Walter. However, Walter gestured and stopped them. I was dumbfounded, I had no idea how to react to the words these men were throwing at each other. Everything was in complete chaos. The way Derek had spoken to me, plus Bennett's reaction, all had my hair standing on end. I turned my gaze to Bennett, whose face was
***Bennett.I wanted to kill this fucking bastard. Fuck, for years I had endured his presence, but now anger was coursing through my body.I punched his side making him spit blood as he grabbed my neck. However, when I saw Hester grab his hand, my anger became more colossal.With a strong pull, I grabbed Walter by the neck and squeezed him "I told you I would never let you touch her again! How dare you kiss her, I'll kill you today!" I shouted pressing his neck with all his strength.However, he let out a laugh full of mockery "You? Kill me? How did you kill my mate?" he said with his black eyes.
Would Bennett kill me for being Walter's wife? How did he kill his mate?I wanted to say something at that moment, but someone's voice interrupted."She's with me. -How dare you dance with her in front of her alpha?"Walter's voice sounded annoyedAt that moment, Derek let go of me and walked away. His gaze was on me, his expression cold, as if he wanted me to consider his words.Still, I rolled my eyes and looked at Walter "I don't want to be here anymore. I want to get some air" I said with a hint of irritation."Upstairs there's a balcony" Walter said as he glared at Derek.I quickly
With a deep sigh, I moved closer and closer to the couple. However, as soon as Agatha turned her gaze to Walter, her eyes widened in surprise "Walter... brother" she said with a trembling toneAt first I didn't understand why she was so afraid of Walter, but now that I knew the story, I could understand it all. Agatha was terrified of Walter. She feared he would murder her as Bennett had murdered Walter's mate. At my thoughts, I watched Walter tighten his grip on my waist as a soft smile tugged at his lips "Baby, I love having you attached to me all the time. Even though in four days we'll finally be husband and wife" he said, winking at me. I looked at him with a slight smile as I nodded and slightly averted my gaze to Bennett, who was holding a cup in his hand with no expression on his face.How could he be so calm after murdering someone? In fact, Walter had also told me that both packs used to get along well, and even had several business deals together; however, when Bennet
As soon as we entered the club my eyes were amazed at the sight of the beautiful place. Everything was decorated with pastel pink and white flowers. There were people in elegant dresses and waiters with glasses on their traysHowever, as I scanned the guests, a hand grabbed my waist and turned me around."You are definitely the most beautiful woman there is, both in this world and in all the others" Walter said looking at me with an expression full of charm.When I heard his words, I turned red with embarrassment. In fact, I was surprised by his sweet words.Walter was wearing a black suit and a white shirt underneath which showed the beginnings of his muscular chest. His hair was slicked back an
At that moment, my mother looked at me in detail, as if looking for a hint of falsehood in my words: At that, I sketched a bigger smile and she curved her lips into a soft smile."Honey, I love you, you will always be my little girl. And I truly wish for you to find happiness. Lucas and I have protected you all your life, so I'm afraid you'll go out into the world alone and trust people who don't think to protect themselves like we do" she said in a low tone.Hearing her, I pulled her hand away from my palm. In fact, my mother was right. She and Lucas always protected me, and I could never distinguish the true intentions of others.As a consequence, my so-called best friend was sleeping with my boyfriend, who also betrayed me. Even when I thought I had foun
