I stood for a few seconds motionless, staring at the phone screen. Who could it be? I felt Bennett's heavy gaze on me, so I quickly dialed the unknown number, but, before the call settled, my phone started ringing again. "Hello?" I said."Are you Alpha Bennett's secretary?" asked an older, female voice. "Yes" I said with my eyes wide open. "Perfect, I want to talk to my son" said the woman. As soon as I heard that, a look of confusion crossed my face. She, Bennett's mother, the woman who had slapped me? "Didn't you hear? I want to talk to my son right now!" the woman added in a cold tone. I immediately looked back at Bennett, who was already sitting at his desk with a cup of coffee in his hand. He looked at me with an intrigued expression as I held out my hand with the phone. "Alpha...it's...it's your mother" I hinted.Bennett raised an eyebrow and took the phone from my hand "What do you want?" he asked into the phone looking at me sternly.I quickly leaned toward him and too
After almost an hour, we finally arrived at the mansion. I looked out the window and saw the huge mansion in front of me. Suddenly, a million memories came back to my mind. I didn't even notice Bennett get out of the car; I just stood there inside with an expression on my face. I stood there inside with a frightened expression. Bennett looked at me and motioned for me to follow him. Without hesitation, I got out of the car and walked behind him to the mansion. As soon as we entered the mansion, we saw a huge living room where the former alpha and Luna were sitting on the couch. They both turned to Bennett and opened their eyes in complete surprise. However, when their gazes landed on me, Luna's expression changed. "What is she doing here?" asked the woman with an angry tone.I looked at the woman with my huge eyes. She was treating me as if I was a criminal coming to her house to steal. "She's coming with me" Bennett said, walking slowly toward his parents.I froze when I heard
From Freddy's point of viewDespite my words, Bennett did not respond. However, he looked at Hester and frowned. He seemed to look her up and down with lust. At that, I couldn't help but clench my fists in annoyance. Even though I had promised to be just her friend, I still had feelings for her. Thinking about it, I looked at Bennett and pursed my lips. "You haven't been here for so long, you look like just another guest at the mansion" I said with a sneer. Bennett immediately turned and looked at me. I could feel how he scanned my thoughts with his dangerous gaze. At that moment, I felt a surge of nerves wash over my body and I shook my head. "Soon it was you who will become a guest in this pack" he said, making my eyes widen. His words had a threatening meaning. Did he want to throw me out of my pack? At that, there was a sudden shout. "Bennett, stop it! " shouted my father in surprise.Bennett grimaced as he took a step towards me, and I stepped back quickly sensing his dange
I thought I was going to hit my head on the front seat, but a huge hand stopped me in mid-air as his beautiful dark eyes rested on me. "You're right, I'm hungry" he said. I swallowed as I felt his hand on my chest before he slid down to my cheek and ran his thumb across my lips. For a second, I thought everything stopped around me, but I snapped back to reality. "Please don't be mad at your parents" I said, not knowing how to break eye contact "I appreciate you protecting me today, no one has ever done that before" he added.He squeezed my chin, forcing me to look him in the eye again. Fuck, this man's intense gaze was magic. I immediately remembered what had happened in his office. His touch, his lips, his delicious scent? Everything was magical. "I..."I tried to say something before he made a sudden move and pressed his lips against mine. My eyes widened in surprise at his sudden action, but it didn't take me long to let myself fall into his delicious taste.I placed my han
From Bennett's point of viewIt had been almost 20 minutes since we had started the drive when we finally arrived at the small restaurant. The place was small. I parked the car in the building and frowned as I looked out the window "Is this it?" I asked a little hesitantly. "Yes" she replied looking back at me to adjust her dress and hair.Afterwards, we both got out of the car and walked towards the restaurant. However, I couldn't help but notice Hester's excitement. I didn't understand why she was acting like that, the place was small, like a normal restaurant. It didn't even look fancy and gave the feeling that any member of the pack could go there.Thinking about that, I suddenly noticed that she intertwined her hand with mine and winked at me before guiding me towards the small tables. As soon as I scanned the place, I noticed it was different from the rest. The tables were on an outdoor terrace decorated only with lamps and pink and white flowers. "Today it's on me" she sai
After all, he wanted my body and I was afraid that when he got it, he would reject me or throw me out of his life. Thinking about that, I fiddled nervously with my fingers when Anna took my hand and smiled. "You mustn't be afraid. He loves you, I can be sure, besides he is your mate, trust him" she said with an encouraging tone. "Maybe you're right" I answered nodding. "Believe me, besides, he made the teacher change your group with Freddy, who does that if he doesn't feel interest?" added Anna."It's different. Freddy is my ex-boyfriend... ""Enough, he's jealous of you and it's not the first time he does it" said Anna looking at me with severity. In fact, she was right. After talking, we talked for a couple of minutes until I returned home. As soon as I arrived, I greeted my mother and went upstairs to pack, because the airport was far from home and I had to leave soon. When I finally got dressed, I went downstairs to say goodbye to my mother, but just then the phone rang. "
In the blink of an eye, Bennett and I were on the plane, leaving the pack. I had never been on a plane before, so a sense of nervousness came over me. I clenched my hands fearfully as the movements of the plane as it landed made my skin crawl. "Oh, dear, oh, dear. I don't want to die here" I muttered to myself as I squeezed my eyes shut. However, at that moment a slight smile was heard from beside me. Without saying anything, I opened my eyes and saw Bennett looking at me with his gaze and a smirk on his face. I didn't even get a chance to say anything when suddenly the plane made a sudden movement and I inadvertently jumped and grabbed Bennett's hand."Shit, shit, shit, shit!" I screamed to myself. Bennett looked at me, took my hand and sighed deeply "You need to calm down" he said, wrapping his arm around my neck. He sank my head into his chest and I sniffed his delicious scent. Meanwhile, he patted my back and a sense of relief washed over me. After a couple of minutes,
After looking out the balcony for a few minutes, I turned to Bennett, who was already on the couch with a cigarette in his hand. Shit, this guy was getting better and better looking. Even smoking, his expression was glorious. Without realizing it, as I rambled in my thoughts, I scanned the suite.But, after scanning a bit, I only saw one room. So I walked over to Bennett and smiled nervously at him "What's my room?".He took a puff on his cigarette and pointed to the room "That's the one"."And where are you going to sleep?" I asked. He let out a grin, withdrew the butt of his cigarette and smiled mischievously "There's only one bedroom here".When I heard those words, a wave of nerves came over me. Was he serious?"What?" I asked with my stomach churning. "What you heard" He said with a mischievous expression. "But... How are we going to sleep in the same room?"Even my question made me blush. However Bennett looked at me and let out a smirk. "Tell me, how could we sleep togethe
A smile tugged at my lips as I noticed that she was still reacting the same way as before.It was evident that Hester had not stopped loving me. Her body was screaming it at the top of her lungs. With that certainty, I leaned toward her, caressing her ear with my fingertips and tracing a soft path with my nose on her cheek. "Alpha Walter, he is not the man who deserves you", I whispered firmly. The closeness with this woman was slowly killing me. Her deep gaze made my eyes widen as if I was coming completely back to reality.I shook my head at the sight of her small hands resting on my chest, pushing me firmly. But her strength proved to be in vain, as I didn't even move an inch. On the contrary, I moved closer, cornering her against my chest and the wall. "Get away from that man" I said between my teeth. She was glaring at me with fury, but I didn't care, in fact, if it had been anyone else, I would easily rip her head off. But it was her, Hester Winters. I could never even thi
Just remembering that man made my skin crawl and my heart fill with hatred. Everything that is happening to me in my life is because of him.If the moon goddess hadn't given him to me as my mate, none of this would have happened. He would never have blackmailed me and I would never have given myself body and soul to him. He had no heart. He was a cold man, eager for power and wanted to tie me down like a slut he would only seek for sex. For years, I thought my mate would be the perfect man, but reality played a trick on me. Thinking about it, I clenched my fists tightly. However, just then, a strong hand grabbed my arm and twisted my body sharply. My eyes widened in surprise as I felt myself being pushed to the side and my back hit the wall. "Ahh" I screamed, and immediately a hand was placed on my lips. I almost gasped when I looked up and saw him there, his eyes completely black and fixed on mine. His face was only inches from mine, as if I were his next prey. For a moment I
From Hester's point of view.I listened attentively to every word the two main alphas said to each other. I was completely taken aback by their reactions.They both seemed to be losing control of themselves, so an idea crossed my mind.I quickly grabbed Walter's arm again and looked him in the eyes with determination. "Walter, calm down... come on"" I said with a confident tone.I couldn't help but notice Bennett's eyes focused on me as the triumphant smile on his face faded. Not giving it a thought, I cupped Walter's hand in my palms and stroked him firmly."All right?" I said again with conviction.After a few seconds, Walter turned to me and let out a sigh. A soft smile lit his lips as he caressed my cheek with his other hand. His touch sent an uncomfortable shiver down my spine, but his voice instantly reassured me."You're right, honey. This is a party, isn't it? We're here to enjoy it. Let's go" he replied, bringing my palm to his face and leaving a soft kiss.I blinked in compl
From Derek's point of viewShit, of all the things I could have heard, Walter's news left me in shock. Was this a joke? Was this man really going to marry Hester?On the other hand, I saw Bennett take a deep breath.I had no idea what was going through his head, but I shook my head.I was worried about Bennett, but, if he reacted in any way, it might even create a war between the two packs.In fact, I knew Bennett better than anyone else. I knew he was hiding his anger. Which is why I feared he would reach his limit and rip Walter's head off in front of everyone.The reality was that many years ago a rule was established: if a head alpha declared a female to be the future moon of his pack, the other alpha could not remove her from the position or forbid the ceremony.Given that, Bennett also had an obligation to make Agatha his moon, as he had declared her many years ago.Thinking about it, I couldn't help but notice that Hester was now destined to be our rival's luna and no one could
My heart was pounding, a war drum in my chest. As much as I loved my brother, I could not intercede. Lucas had just challenged a senior alpha, and the consequences could be devastating."If you dare approach her again, I will not hold back," Walter threatened, his voice a whisper laden with danger."If you touch my gamma, I will end you right here," Bennett's voice echoed through the room, chilling the blood of those present.Bennett's father and his men's eyes widened in surprise, incredulous at Bennett's reaction. Everyone expected a response, but no one anticipated such a statement."Then tell your gamma not to touch my wife again," Walter growled, drawing me into his side, his grip protective.A surge of discomfort and annoyance washed over me as I felt his firm hand on my waist."I didn't come here to fight, otherwise I would have brought my warriors," Walter declared, his voice laden with veiled menace. "I have come for Agatha. You will marry her, and that is fine with me. But i
Had that man managed, with an iron will, to silence the inescapable call of mate's bond? The question, like a ghostly echo, echoed in my mind, as I watched the scene unfold before my eyes.Agatha, with a smile of triumph that chilled my blood, clung to Bennett's arm, as if to mark territory. A wry smile tugged at my lips. The woman, desperate to secure her prey, was resorting to the crudest gestures."You have summoned us here to talk, Walter, what is it you wish to say?" Bennett's father's voice, charged with impatience, broke the tense silence.Walter's icy expression softened, giving way to an enigmatic smile. His eyes, like ice daggers, rested on Bennett, who, for the first time, was giving him his full attention."Well, since we are all assembled," Walter began, his voice a whisper laden with hidden intentions, "I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce you to someone..."Before I could process his words, his hand closed tightly around my waist, drawing me into his side."..
From Agatha's point of view. Immediately, everyone nodded and started walking toward Alpha Walter.However, I stood still, staring at the couple. At that moment, my mother, Greta, turned to me. "What's the matter with you? Stop looking so terrified", my mother said angrily. I opened my eyes in complete surprise and looked at my mother wanting to respond, but at that moment she intervened. "With that terrified expression you will never become Alpha Bennett's Luna". I couldn't help but frown and turn my gaze to Hester "Mother, look at her... She's here. She's here. How do you want me to keep a smiling expression?" My mother looked at me and arched a confused eyebrow "What are you talking about? Who is that woman to you? Can't you see she's just another one of Walter's bitches?""You really have no idea what's at stake here. That woman is not only Alpha Walter's bitch, she's Bennett's destined mate" I said, gritting my teeth at the mere thought of knowing. At that moment, my moth
From Hester's point of view.For a long time I had avoided eye contact with Bennett, but when Walter took me by the waist and suggested I go to his parents, I felt uncomfortable. If it was all a sham, why did I have to meet them? Walter was right, though. If we were going to pretend, we definitely had to do it right, otherwise we'd just be two idiots.With that in mind, I nodded and turned with him, but, unfortunately, on the way we stopped in front of Bennett and Derek, who seemed to be looking at us with intrigue. Both men were giving me dangerous looks, but I ignored Bennett's stare and focused on Walter."Alpha Bennett, you are looking very well tonight. I see my sister has given you of her charms, hasn't she" said Walter suddenly. "Yes, you're right" Bennett replied.His sudden words made my wolf howl painfully. I quickly shook my head and clung tighter to Walter's arm."You said you'd introduce me to my parents" I whispered, pouting at Walter. I couldn't even help but notic
From Lucas' point of viewI had been a little late for the celebration, because I kept thinking about Hester. A few minutes ago I called my mother to ask about her, but apparently she had left with Anna. At that, I felt a strange feeling in my chest. However, as soon as I walked into the hotel lounge, my mouth dropped open. But what on earth? It was Hester. She was with that man.I didn't have time to think when I felt Alpha's furious gaze on me, approaching with a heavy step. "Alpha..." I said bowing in reverence.Bennett for his part gave me a sidelong glance and motioned to one of the waiters to pour him a glass of champagne. "I see you couldn't even fulfill a simple order" said the man, fixing his dangerous eyes on me. At his words, a terrifying shiver ran down my spine. "A thousand apologies, my alpha. I can go and talk to her..."I didn't even have a chance to finish my words when a slight growl left Bennett's lips."Don't talk to her. If she wanted to come, let her. But y
