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
From Hester's point of viewThe days were passing quickly, yet Walter still hadn't returned from his pack, which created an emptiness in my chest.The reality is that Bennett didn't miss any opportunity to tease me. He even started sending flowers, chocolates and gifts to my house. I would just take them, throw them in the trash or give them away to the kids at school. How could that man possibly think of buying me gifts? That morning I woke up early and took a shower; however, my phone started ringing as I was getting dressed."Dean?" I said when I saw the contact."Miss Hester, good morning. I am calling to inform you that your transfer request has been denied" said the dean in a soft voice."What? How is that possible? Why?" I asked with my eyes wide open."I don't know. It was orders from my superiors. So you will have to reapply or speak directly to the superiors" said the man.As soon as I heard that, I hung up the call and threw the phone on the bed. I clenched my fists in f
Fuck, I understood perfectly what that contract meant. With a sigh, I closed my eyes and tried to calm down. I didn't want Bennett to do something he might regret. So I turned around and walked over to the picture next to the wall. I pulled the painting out and looked at the hidden safe. For a second I stopped and looked back at Bennett, expecting him to make a gesture of regret, but no, he was more elated than ever. Without further ado, I had to turn around, put in the secret key and pull out the black folder. With a worried snort, I walked back to the desk and handed the folder to Bennett, who took it before looking at me with a terrified expression."Leave your worries alone. I'm fine" he said with a deep tone. On the other hand, I saw him focus his attention on the folder and open it. His eyes roamed over each and every page as my chest nearly exploded.***From Bennett's point of viewI read every single word of this damn contract. However, my eyes stopped on a couple of red
I looked at him with a soft expression and let out a sigh, trying to figure out what was going through his mind "Bennett, what are you doing at Alpha Manor? You never come here unless it's really important." At my words, Bennett just sighed and got up from his desk. He walked past me and stopped right at the mini-bar, where he pulled out a bottle of vodka. Seeing it, I arched an eyebrow and saw a bottle on the desk. At first I wanted to ask him about the bottle he had found, but as soon as I saw the lipstick stain on the nozzle, a smile broke out on my face. It was obvious that Bennett wouldn't touch the bottle, certainly not after knowing that Agatha had touched it. With a sigh, I walked over to the couch and sat down, looking at him "What are you planning to do about Hester?" I asked. "What are you talking about?" I asked, drinking straight from the bottle.. This man was truly an eminence. I saw him drinking from the bottle without even breathing. I got up quickly
However, before the situation escalated, I opened the mental link to Derek "Come to my office now" I ordered.I was so fucking tired of all this shit. However everything went silent for a moment.I massaged my temples thinking Agatha would finally stop talking, but she opened her mouth again."I've hated that woman ever since I knew you had feelings for her, though you're such a coward that you've never told her. Is it because you're tied to me that you didn't leave with that bitch?" She said mockingly. "Agatha, watch what you say!" I growled while clenching my fists. "Oh, no, you're going to hear me. You think I didn't see how you looked at that woman when she wasn't even your brother's girlfriend? Your brother brought her to the mansion for a party and you almost died when you saw her. However, your brother seemed to have a crush on her too....I gave him a stern look, but at that moment the office door opened. Derek walked i
When I felt her close, I got up from the couch and returned to the minibar."Bennett. I...I want to talk about the wedding" she finally said it, managing to stop my movements when I just turned my gaze to her. I didn't respond when she continued "I know you tried to stop the wedding of...".A roar left my lips as I realized what she was saying "Do you really think I'll let that man marry her?" I hinted, taking some more from the bottle. She opened her eyes as if surprised. Her calm expression darkened as she looked at me."I know you tried to stop the wedding too, and I thank you for that. I didn't think a girl like you would dare to say anything in front of the man" I added with a mocking tone as I walked back to the couch with the bottle in hand.She got up from her couch and sat down right next to me "Bennett... you know why I don't want my brother to marry that woman?" Her sudden question caught my attention."Why?
Fuck, why was I reacting this way? I couldn't let him take control of my life again. I quickly tried to calm myself as I pushed his head away. However, he pressed my chest against his and moved gently."You should enjoy this. It's just a dance. Besides, no one will know you're here with me", he hinted with that husky, charming tone he used to have with me.What distressed me most, however, was the closeness we had. It had been a long time since his arms had intertwined with my waist as our breasts pressed together.For a second, I remembered all the sensations that he brought on me with just a touch of his warm fingers, but I couldn't help but laugh at myself for how foolish I was to fall for his lies.In fact, I never dared to disrespect him or refuse his demands, after all, he pretended to love me so well. But now I knew his true intention and everything was different. Everything I thought was mine was a lie; he had given his
A slight gasp choked in my mouth and I felt his breath on my neck."Where are you?" Walter asked in a doubtful tone."I... I'm..." I paused as I watched Bennett's expressionHe clicked his tongue with a gesture. It was obvious he didn't want me to tell Walter anything, and I didn't want the two men to see each other and start fighting at the club either."I'm with Terrens, meeting his girlfriend" I finally said."I understand. Honey, I just called because I want to talk to you about something" said WalterAs I heard Walter, I tried to wiggle out of Bennett's grip on my waist. Fuck, I was so angry at that man, at what he was doing...."About what?" I asked with an annoyed frown"I'm going home. My theta needs me. He's very sick. He may not have much time left"As soon as I heard that, my body stopped "What? How long will you be gone?""It will only be 10 days. I promise I'll be back before the w
Her words caused a slight shiver to spread throughout my body. However, I shook my head and pursed my lips."You're right. He is a horrible of a man. And he makes no effort to disguise it" I replied sarcastically.Despite my calmness, there was hatred in my gaze. I was afraid Stephanie would notice, so I looked away.The reality was that I was paying close attention to every word Stephanie said to me. After all, she seemed to know all of Bennett's secrets. However, when I looked at Bennett, I saw that he was looking at me as if he knew what we were talking about. At that moment, both he and Terrens got up from the couch and approached us. Terrens reached out his hand to Stephanie and she took it."Shall we dance? Alpha wants to have a drink and listen to music" he said."Of course, honey" she replied sweetly. Terrens smiled and turned to me and stroked my hair "We'll be back in a while. Don't offend Alpha" he
I didn't linger long watching the scene. My heart felt racing, but I shook my head and let out a snort. I silently got up from my chair, but, as I was about to grab my purse and leave, I felt a hand grab my purseAt first I thought it was Bennett, but when I turned around I saw it was Stephanie's hand "Where are you going? It's early""I'm sorry. I don't think I should stay" I said softly. Before she could say anything, Terrens interjected "Hester..."I looked at him and saw the bright expression in his eyes. Terrens was a good friend and I had been looking forward to this day for a long time. At that thought, I shook my head and sat back down. Suddenly, Bennett looked at Terrens and softened his mriad "How are you, Terrens? I've heard from you"Terrens replied and invited him to sit down. Before long, the two men began to chat. On the other hand, I crossed an arm over my chest as I finished my drink and po
