Just remembering how Hester grabbed his hand and put her beautiful face in his arm, my fists clenched. Thinking about that, I turned my gaze back to Hester, now being grabbed by Lucas. I didn't even stay any longer; I just pursed my lips and walked out of the room to the next one, where I wanted to smash everything in my path, especially with Agatha, the bitch who kept looking for my weak spot. ***From Lucas' point of view. When Bennett left the room, I squeezed Hester's arm and forced her to look me in the eye. I was so disappointed in myself... If I hadn't gone to practice, I would have taken care of Hester myself and she wouldn't have gotten into all this trouble. However, as a big brother, it was my duty to take care of her, but I never thought my own alpha could play with her like that.I had been working for Bennett since I was a teenager and had never seen any woman in his life other than Agatha. From the beginning they were destined to be married, so I thought that was
From Bennett's point of viewThe moment I saw Hester leave the party, I didn't even stand there, but turned around and walked out of there without saying anything.At first, she and Agatha's family tried to stop me, but I paid no attention to them. I just waved and turned away from them as if I didn't care about them."Please, Bennett, dinner will be served soon" I heard Agatha say, who ran over and grabbed my arm. I stopped my steps before I turned my gaze and looked at her with furious eyes. The girl quickly let go of my arm and backed away."How many times must I ask you not to touch me?" I said gritting my teeth."I... I... I..." she stammered.Shit, I didn't know if I could stay close with her anymore. She was completely unbearable. Without another word, I waved her off and walked out. At that moment, my men came out behind me and we left the party.I climbed into my car with clenched fists and started it up. However, I saw in the distance that Alfa Walter was getting into his
I looked at Freddy without losing my cool, but he stammered again. "Well, I know you don't want her to be with another man and you just l But the world gives you back the same shit you sow: she will marry another man and you can't stop her". His words came from his lips like glee. However, my limit had arrived. My eyes turned completely black as my dangerous aura floated from my pores. "May it be the last time you dare to speak to your alpha like that. Otherwise I'll rip your head off the next time you neglect your damn place in this pack!" I said using my alpha command.Everyone in the office turned their heads away when they heard me. On the other hand, Freddy lowered his head as his hands seemed to shake. It was obvious he was upset, but he just let out a snort and walked out of the office.On the other hand, I opened the mental link with one of my men. If he does anything stupid don't hesitate to let me know" I ordered:"Yes my alpha" Hinted the man.I quickly closed the mental
Soon it was just Bennett and I in the office. My gaze was on him, who was not only my alpha, but also my best friend and a man I could look up to all my life.He was strong and fair, he knew business and he knew how to solve problems.In fact, Alesso, Bennett and I had been friends all our lives. I had never before seen him let anyone raise their voice at him, making him an untouchable, anger-filled alpha.Yet now he had let four people dare to pick on him. He could understand letting Walter and Hester through because he was their friend, but how could he let Freddy and Lucas through? That just didn't make sense.At that moment I closed my eyes and went back in time. There was a time a long t
From Hester's point of view On the way home Lucas had reported that he would be resigning his position as Bennett's gamma. So my eyes widened like saucers. At first I tried to persuade him to change his mind. However, he refused to listen to me. In fact, he told me that I could no longer serve a man who wanted me as his mistress and broke my heart by wanting to humiliate him. At that he just got out of the car and went to his room. On the other hand, I let out a sigh and went to my room. For a long time I tossed and turned in bed trying to think of what the hell to do. I couldn't let my brother leave his position. He had fought hard to get where he was. However as I thought I couldn't help but remember the words Walter had said. He made that statement to everyone without even telling me. How could I marry him? I was about to call him and ask him to take it back. But just as I picked up the phone an idea crossed my mind Shit shit shit! I had told Bennett myself that I
Terrens opened his eyes to respond, but I intervened by looking at my watch "I think it's time for me to go. Thanks anyway for training me," I said I quickly went to the showers and then left the institute. However, when I was about to look for my car, I saw that there was a black car parked. I didn't even think much of it when I knew it was Walter, who rolled down the window and waved at me. With a sigh, I walked over and climbed into the back seat of the car next to him. The chauffeur started the car immediately and began driving. "Why did you say that at the ceremony, Walter? Everything was going according to plan, but you senselessly changed everything!" I said with my arms crossed. Walter arched an eyebrow and looked at me confused "You're saying I did that senselessly?" "Yes, you didn't need to take that lie that far" "What lie? I never said the engagement was fake" he said with a frown. My eyes widened in surprise" "What are you talking about, you declared me as you
Seeing what had happened, I stepped back, but Walter came closer again, making my body completely glued to the door."What are you doing?" I asked.He tilted his face, leaving almost an inch of distance between us. "Hester, you're the only woman I've ever spent my time with. I've never met a woman as intelligent, interesting and strong as you. I know it comes as a surprise to you, but I like you and I will make you my wife without anyone being able to stop me" he said, leaving his breath on my face.My eyes widened like saucers when I heard his sudden statement. I almost felt like my heart was going to explode. "Are you sure you've fallen in love with me?" I asked still obfuscated.He shrugged his shoulders and made a gesture with his mouth in affirmation.I shook my head and stared into his clear eyes "No, that's impossible. You don't know me well. How can you fall in love with me in such a short time, "I asked.He let out a sigh and moved closer to me "I did. Believe it or not, I h
Walter's question was soft, but his eyes radiated a hint of anger. For a second I felt uncomfortable and unprotected. In fact, it wasn't the first time Walter had looked at me in that dangerous way. "You can feel something for me, unless you're still in love with that man..."Walter didn't get to finish his words when a wave of anger came over me" No! What I feel for that man is hatred. I don't love him" I said gritting my teeth. "Ah, yes? Are you sure?" I asked with a raised eyebrow."Yes" I said without even thinking. At my answer, Walter looked into my eyes for a few seconds, as if he was trying to find something inside me. In a second, he arched an eyebrow and let out a mocking smile "It's a pity that you fall in love with him without even knowing him. Or even know what he's capable of?I felt confused at her words "What are you talking about?"How could she say that? I knew Bennett perfectly well. He was an arrogant, pretentious, power-hungry man who would choose to give up h
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
