Update. After a long talk, Anna and I attended all the classes and went straight home. After all, my mother would never let me go to the mansion and I had nothing to wear. As I was looking at the dresses in Anna's closet, she pulled out a pair of jewelry "You should wear this necklace, it looks sexy with any dress"."Gosh, which one is better, this one or...?" Before I could finish thinking, the phone rang. I quickly took my phone out of my purse and looked at the screen "Walter, I... "Walter, I..." Where are you" asked Walter. "Where are you?" asked Walter "At my friend's house..." "Give me the address" said Walter. "What? It's early, you shouldn't come for me yet" I said with a smile."The address..." he hinted as if ignoring my words.I quickly sent him the address and hung up. Anna looked at me in confusion. However, in a few minutes later, a package arrived on her doorstep.Anna opened the box wide-eyed and took it up to her room "Oh my gosh! It's such a sexy dress" she sa
From Hester's point of view. The reality was that Walter had gotten me two passes for Anna and Max, so they would also be going with me. At first Max had refused, but Anna convinced him to go and take care of me. He nodded and went home. On the other hand, I showered and then paused in front of the mirror as I tried on the dress Walter had sent me. The dress was not only pretty, but it had a fitted finish at my waist and then flowed smoothly down to my thighs. The back was bare to the two small holes in my spine.However, all my attention was on the neckline, which highlighted my breasts and butt. Plus, the black color further highlighted my white skin. I looked fucking sexy and beautiful. For a moment, a slight smile tugged at my lips. Tonight was my night, and I would finally prove to Bennett that I was indeed capable of moving on with my life. Now I wasn't alone, but I had someone who wasn't ashamed to show me as his girlfriend in public, despite being a powerful alpha."Oh my
During the ride, I couldn't help but glance sporadically at Walter, who had a calm and fucking attractive expression. Perhaps the man had a dangerous aura that made everyone fear him, but it was clear he had an undeniable attractiveness and virility. "Why did you do that?" I asked, getting his attention. "What did I do?" he asked, looking at me for a second. "You know, you kissed me in front of my friends" I answered once again. Walter heard my words and arched an eyebrow with a mischievous chuckle, “Do you think that was a kiss?" I heard his words and frowned. It was obvious that my question was silly; the man was just playing his part. "Okay, I understand that it was an act, but don't do it again".I thought Walter would answer, but, contrarily, I heard the screeching of the car come to a screeching halt. "What the hell!" I said, almost banging my head against the car. "Let's see, Hester, what would happen if I kissed you again?" he said. My gaze fell on his face as I gr
After a few minutes had passed, the car finally stopped in front of a huge building. I raised an eyebrow and looked at Walter "Where are we?”"Isn't it obvious? At the party place" he said unbuckling his belt. "What, it wouldn't be a party at Alpha Manor?" I asked as I watched him get out of the car. Walter walked up to my door, opened it and held out his hand to me "The party will be here. Now, if I may..." he said, looking me in the eyes.I looked at his hand with a frown, I didn't know if it would be right to take it or not, but his voice came again. "Don't be like those girls who look at me with fear. Keep being you, the only girl who looks at me differently. Otherwise, I'll lose interest in you" he said sounding calm. His words made my heart beat fast. With a sigh, I reached out my hand and took his before getting out of the car."If you lose interest in me, no problem, I have no interest in you anyway" I said with a cutting tone.Walter pursed his lips and, with his free ha
From Bennett's point of view.The fucking girl kept holding my hand, causing my patience to almost go out the window. However, when I walked into the living room, a strange aroma flooded my nose. For a second I thought I had lost my mind, but my eyes scanned the place until they stopped on her.What the fuck? It was Hester! I gritted my teeth as I felt a wave of anger sweep through my body, but I kept my composure and quickly averted my gaze to the rest of the people present."Honey..." I heard Agatha's voice next to me as she continued to cling to my arm. Try as I might, I couldn't control myself and turned my gaze slightly back to Hester. This time she had a smile on her face as she looked at the man next to her. My chest almost exploded when I saw the man's face. "Honey!" Agatha hinted again.I shook my head and looked back at Agatha with a furious expression "Don't ever call me that again!" I said between mutterings. Agatha opened her eyes wide and nodded "I... I just wan
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
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 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
Derek looked at me with an annoyed expression as he turned his gaze back to Bennett. Immediately after, I saw Bennett too and felt his dangerous aura.In fact, I could sense his intentions. The man was looking at me and ordering me with his eyes not to say anything else and to go back to the room.However, I was tired of all the blackmail and abuse, so I let out a snort and opened my lips to continue speaking, but just then Walter took a step toward me.But when he tried to take her hand, she took a step back. At her reaction, Walter was stunned and shook his head."Hester... Hester, you don't have to be afraid. I've come with my men to rescue you,“ he said.I was speechless when I heard him say that. But he spoke again. ”Come on, tell me how the alpha Bennett forced you to marry him and trapped you here against your will. I promise nothing will happen to you and I'll get you out of this damn place right away!" he said, his sharp eyes fixed on my face.Hearing him, I looked up and wat
Despite my question, both Lya and the rest of the maids remained silent. They all looked away as Lya approached me. “Luna, let me take you back to your room.”“No. I want you to tell me where everyone is,” I said again, clenching my fists.Lya looked at me with a worried expression. "I'm sorry. It's just that... Alpha Bennett told us we couldn't tell you anything about it," she said nervously.In fact, I couldn't force them to break an order. They were just doing their job, and if they disobeyed Bennett, he could even fire them.Faced with that, I just waved my hand. “It's okay. I'll find out for myself,” I said.With that, I didn't wait for a response, but began walking around the first floor of the mansion, checking every room.Meanwhile, I could hear the maids' quick footsteps behind me. “Luna, please return to Alpha Bennett's room. He gave us clear orders: you should not be here!”“Luna...” she continued over and over again.Ignoring her, I continued my exhaustive search. However,
With a sigh, I turned around and scanned Bennett's room. In fact, I couldn't help but remember the first time I set foot in that room.That night, my world took an unexpected turn: I was a different person, who thought that the goddess had a perfect mate waiting for me.In fact, I thought Freddy would be my soulmate and that we would have a happy life, but thinking about it, a flash of anger ran through my body. How could I have been so stupid?Shaking my head, I slowly sat down on the huge bed. My whole head was a mess. Now I was the wife of that horrible man.I had no idea how I was going to live in the future. How much more was the moon goddess preparing to give me a happy life?With a thousand things on my mind, I lay silently on my back on the bed. I wanted to take my phone out of my pocket and check it, but when I saw that it was dead, I quickly put it on the bedside table.***I spent the whole day in Bennett's room. I had no idea what was going on in the huge living room. Howe
How the hell was Bennett so calm? Didn't he know what he had done? A powerful alpha like him should keep his word or be exasperated for breaking it, but Bennett acted as if he didn't even care what was happening.As I rambled on, I heard Damian clear his throat. I knew he was trying to calm himself down.“I think it would be best to talk about this calmly. Otherwise, we won't get anywhere if we get angry. The situation is delicate, and we all know it's wrong,“ said the former Luna, glaring furiously at the former alpha.“I think you're right. I know my son has a solution. He'll do the right thing,” said the former alpha.However, a chilling grimace formed on Damian's lips. “A solution? Tell me, would you be silent if Agatha were your daughter? Would you accept this?”At Damian's words, Alpha Bennett's parents lowered their heads as they exchanged glances.***Hester.The expression on Bennett's parents' faces showed that they had both lost the courage to stand up to their son.However
I couldn't understand why they were all repeating the same thing. How could Bennett be forced to marry a woman?I didn't even have time to process his words when I looked at Bennett, who had all his attention focused on Alpha Damian. In fact, he seemed really calm despite Alpha Damian's shouting.“Aren't you going to say anything? What you did is unacceptable. You're an alpha! You should have kept your oath!” At that moment, Bennett raised a hand and waved him off. “Alpha, Damian, you really are very loud. But you want an answer? I did everything I could to keep my oath, but your son left me no choice. Besides, the woman standing next to me is my mate. Do you really think I would let my wife marry Walter?”Of all the words Bennett had said, all my attention was focused on how he referred to me in front of the rest. Had he really addressed me as his wife? This all seemed like a bad joke.However, my thoughts were overshadowed by Alpha Damian's screams.“No! Stop! What will happen to m
When I heard Bennett's father's words, I was completely perplexed. What the hell? Had I heard wrong? How could the main alpha Bennett be forbidden to marry someone else?With that in mind, I turned to Bennett and looked at him with a confused expression. However, just then he fixed his poisonous eyes on his father.“You should have a little more respect for my words. In case you've forgotten, you're speaking before the Luna of this pack,” Bennett said, leaving everyone speechless.His father was stunned by his words. On the other hand, Bennett's mother looked like she was about to explode at any moment. The woman had a sickly expression on her face. In a matter of seconds, she took a step back when she heard her son.I thought she would sit back down, but instead she looked me in the eyes and pointed at me. “This is your fault! You did something to my son! I knew it! I knew it!” she yelled at me.“Mother!” Bennett said in a cold and dangerous tone.But despite Bennett's loud roar, his
I was speechless when I heard him say that. But before I could process it, Bennett spoke again. “I have to admit, I'm not interested in this silly and unnecessary family drama. But since it's obviously going to happen, why not enjoy it? So just pretend you're happy in this marriage, like I told you, and everything will turn out better than expected,” he hinted before winking.What the hell? Maybe he had radon, so I immediately stopped struggling and relaxed. With a sigh, I let go of his hand and we took a couple of steps toward the sofas where everyone was sitting.***BennettI took Hester's hand and stood up before turning my gaze to my mother, who was staring at my hand and Hester's.“Mother, as always, it's a pleasure...” I said mockingly.But before I could finish my words, my mother interrupted, ‘What is she doing here? What's going on?’ My mother looked at me in surprise. A slight smile formed on my lips as I looked into the eyes of everyone in the room.“I'm so glad everyone
On the other hand, when a few minutes had passed, I received an important call. After all, I knew that things would intensify from that moment on, but all my thoughts vanished when I turned around and saw her there, coming down the stairs in a beautiful cream-colored dress, gold high heels, and a neckline that looked like it would open at any moment, exposing her perfect, enormous breasts. For a moment, I thought my bad mood wouldn't change, but when I saw her, I felt like the world had stopped. I looked her up and down, detailing every inch of her body like the perfect delicacy as I felt my heart race. I couldn't deny it, the woman looked like a goddess! I stood still for a few seconds, trying to calm my thoughts.Her thighs, her lips, her skin, shit, I hadn't even noticed that she had chosen that dress, which was, in fact, the same dress I had wanted to see her wear, which surprised me a little. Damn, I missed kissing her white skin and soft breasts so much... However, at that mo
Why the hell did my body keep reacting to this man? "Are you trying to hurt me?", I said, avoiding his gaze.I tried to wiggle out of his grip, but he tightened his hand, forcing me to look him in the eye "Don't try to act any smarter, Hester De la Croix. Try to stay away from Alpha Damien's family and pretend this is the happiest marriage in the world" he said.As soon as I heard her words, I was shocked. "What, why would I pretend that I'm happy in this marriage, are you forgetting that you blackmailed my mother's life to make me sign that contract?" I said sharply.An annoyed growl escaped Bennett's lips. But, before he said anything, I spoke again"I'm not happy about this. You've forced me to..."For a second, I thought he would angrily get out of the car, but, contrary to that, he used his other hand to grab my jaw and squeeze, stopping my wordsI gulped, looking at his face only inches away from mine. His warm breath collided on my skin, while my chest felt like it wanted to
