From Bennett's point of viewAs soon as I exited the building, I quickly ran to the car and gently tucked Hester into the back seat before sitting down next to her. I looked at her with her eyes closed and her lips pale as I held her head against my chest. "To the hospital now!" I shouted to the driver, who quickly started the engine and drove off. In a few minutes, the car finally parked in front of the hospital. At that, I opened the door and took Hester's small, delicate body in my arms.I didn't even look around as I kicked in the front door and looked at the doctors. Quickly, the head doctor came over and asked for a gurney.."She needs to be examined quickly" the man ordered the nurses.I stood in the waiting room while the doctors and nurses did their work. I couldn't even stop pacing in that small space. My wolf howled painfully at the thought of something bad happening to Hester. But, just then, the door opened and out came the head doctor with a bland look on his face.
At my words, Bennett opened his eyes in complete surprise "What are you talking about?""What you heard, I want you to reject me" I repeated sure of my words. "If I reject you, you're going to die" he said. "No. You told my brother you knew a way to break the bond without me dying or you losing your title as alpha."Bennett let out a snort and turned away from me leaning against the wall "I said that so he would focus on training and...".I hadn't even finished hearing his words when a mocking laugh left my lips "I knew it. Always bringing your lies to everyone. You wouldn't even interview yourself to tell my brother that you spent nights playing with his sister just to marry another woman"Bennett's eyes rested dangerously on me for a few seconds. He clenched his jaw wanting to say something, but only raised his hand and brought it up to my hair. I shook my head, refusing to feel his touch, as a deep sigh escaped his lips. "Stop being so stubborn and be a good girl. I'm not in th
From Bennett's point of viewFuck, I didn't understand why Hester was acting like that. At first I thought Hester had really fallen in love with me, but when I heard her talk I realized she only seemed to be after Luna's position. Had I not made it clear to her that Agatha would be my Luna? I had promised her that her son would be the heir to the pack; what more could she ask for? I would treat her as my Luna without the title, she just had to be with me.As I thought about that, I noticed a tightness in my chest. I walked down the hallway feeling everyone's gaze on me. However, I pulled out my phone and dialed a number "Stop following her"."Alpha, are you sure about that?" asked the man behind the phone."Yes. You no longer need to inform me about her" I added with a dark look. "Yes, Alpha Bennett" said the man. I hung up the call clenching my fists tightly. If she wanted to leave, I wouldn't stop her, after all, maybe that was for the best. With an aura of anger coursing throu
"Gosh, I wish there was a way to break the bond" Anna said with a grimace on her lips. At that moment, I remembered Lucas' words. He was so confident in the lie Bennett had told him.... I just shook my head and smiled. "My death is the only one that can break the bond""Don't ever say that again!" Anna shouted, annoyed, as she grabbed my shoulders and turned me towards her "You're too valuable to think that dying is the solution!I looked into her eyes feeling nothing inside me "Anna... I don't know how to feel. I should be upset because my mate is marrying another woman and broke my heart? Or maybe I should be happy about that? After all, he won't come back for me.My words caused Anna to be silent for a few seconds. She arched an eyebrow and turned away from my shoulders as she lost herself in my gaze. ***Lately, I was attached to Bennett mentally and physically. All my thoughts were for him, even in my dreams I was with him, which made me feel fucking sick. "You should come d
Walter's words caused me to be overcome with desolation. My she-wolf howled with anguish inside me. "Will you say something? I thought you would use my shoulder to cry on. But I see you are no longer the same naive Hester I knew. Your mate sure missed something great" he said."Ex mate..." I mockingly retorted "He is no longer my mate".After saying that, Walter arched an eyebrow in confusion "What are you talking about, did he reject you? That's impossible"I looked up into his eyes. What I wanted most was to break the bond. But, unfortunately, that was only happening in my mind. "I won't consider him my mate anymore" I added, sure of my words.Walter's eyebrows rose at my response. He opened his lips to say something, but at that moment my mother returned from the kitchen with two cups of chocolate. "It's a little hot," said my mother, looking at Walter's face, "By the way, what's your name?""My name is Lu..." "His name is Walter, alpha Walter" I added, interjecting her words.
11 months later...The sky was completely dark. The moon seemed to have hidden behind black clouds when my dazzling white she-wolf came running out. All seemed quiet and calm until four wolves began to chase me. I quickly ran into the darkness of the dense forest as my white fur turned dark."Where the hell did she go?" I heard one of the wolves growl."I don't know. She's a strange, fast wolf. She's been running for hours and we still couldn't catch up with her" added another wolf. "We have to split up!" said the leader through the mind-link. I hid in the trees to hear how the wolves were communicating. The reality was that I still didn't know all of my she-wolf's abilities. After all, I could even sometimes hear other wolves' conversations through the mind link, which was strange. When the wolves left, I went to a lake and stopped to drink water.***From a rogue's point of view.We chased the white-furred she-wolf for hours, until I finally spotted her in the distance by a l
Everyone in the high school stared wide-eyed at the huge screen in the cafeteria. "-Breaking news! The pack guards have caught five rogues in the forest. However, this is the second time rogues have been found in a deadly condition. One of the rogues was alive and Alpha Bennett prevented them from killing him-"".The news caught the attention of everyone present. Some could not even believe what was happening, while others could not understand why Alpha Bennett kept the survivor alive."-All officials cooperating with the investigation stated that Alpha Bennett is doing everything possible to find out what is going on. It is believed that a beast is loose on the border, as no ordinary wolf could cause such a disaster-".***From Hester's point of view.I was wearing black jeans and a white top. My makeup was soft and my hair was down, with a small, delicate bow in the middle. I walked into the high school with a soft breath and noticed the gaze of everyone present. However, my gaze
The reality was that I had led a quiet life and pretended to have forgotten every detail of my time with Bennett. "Gosh, we're so sorry to talk about him" Anna said, taking my hand. At that, I shook my head and nodded "It's okay. I shouldn't have reacted like that. It's been a long time since I've seen that man" I said shedding a smile. "Since everything's okay, what do you say we go eat at a restaurant?" Max said, trying to lighten the mood. Quickly, Anna and I nodded and the three of us walked out of the school and got into Max's car. Anna was sitting in the passenger seat, while Max drove and held her hand. I, on the other hand, was in the back, looking out the car window. My mind was set on everything that had happened in the past few months. In fact, I had participated in many high school projects, earning top marks and securing a spot as valedictorian. Soon after, we arrived at a restaurant and the three of us ordered the dish of the day. We ate together and had a great
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
