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
For hours I ran through the leafy trees of the forest, letting out all the rage that had built up inside me. However, when I finally stopped in front of a lake, I realized that my wolf had become faster and stronger. Did the hatred I felt for that man make me less weak?I didn't even think about it anymore, I just looked at my frightened reflection and closed my eyes. In fact, I didn't deserve anything that was happening to me. I deserved to be happy. And if that bastard didn't love me, why should I be miserable?It didn't take me long to understand that maybe the world was giving me a second chance with Walter. Thinking about it, I made a decision: to give Walter a chance and marry him. He loved me, I could see it in his eyes. Maybe with him I would finally be happy. At that moment I understood everything. Bennett would mark Agatha on their wedding night, regardless of what would happen to me. In fact, as an omega, one of the biggest punishments was not only to be the mate of an
I understood perfectly what Hester wanted: she wanted to be happy! At that, I looked Bennett in the eyes and pursed my lips determinedly "Alpha, I want to give up my position as a gamma".Bennett's eyes widened like saucers at my words.However, he pulled out a cigarette and looked at me "I do not accept your resignation"."What? I can't continue in this position. My attitude was not the right one and my sister..."I hadn't even had time to continue when he intervened "Shall I say it again? I don't accept the resignation and I don't want someone else as my gamma. So, for your sake, I advise you to separate your personal life from the future of this pack" he said, taking a puff on his cigarette.When I heard his response, I was completely dumbfounded. No alpha would allow a gamma to remain in his position after doing what I did. Then I understood that Bennett was not a bad alpha, in fact, he had acted this way for the good of the pack. "Okay, I'll stay in my position as gamma of the
Ever since I got home, I kept thinking about the dinner at the Alpha mansion. At first, I was sure that attending would be the best option, but now the nerves were eating away at me completely.With that in mind, I jumped in the shower and took a long hot bath. Afterwards, I went to the closet, pulled out a low-cut dress that was tight at the waist, with a diamond brooch hanging down my back. I let my hair down and touched up my delicate makeup: my lips matte and my eyes with dark shadows that highlighted my light eyes.For a moment I stopped in front of the mirror and looked at my outfit. I looked like an attractive goddess, but there was no glow of joy on my face. However, I didn't need to think much about it, I just needed to feel more hatred to be brave and destroy the man who ruined my life. Thinking about it, I picked up the phone, but before I put it away it started ringing. Checking it, I saw that it was a text message. "-When are you meeting my girlfriend? She's anxious t
Although in my pack everyone feared Walter's name it even seemed that the rivalry between the two packs had led to ignorance.It was as if I couldn't know Walter unless I actually lived with him in his pack."Honey, no woman has ever caught my eye as much as you have. Do you really think I would ruin a jewel like you?" he said looking out the window. His words left me somewhat intrigued, was that a statement?Without answering, I forced a smile and kept silent. On the other hand, the drive to Alpha Manor took a little over 30 minutes. When the chauffeur finally parked the car, a wave of nerves washed over me. In fact, I felt nervous about being at the mansion. After all, each of my memories in this place was worse than the last. I froze in the car seat for a few seconds, until Walter opened the door next to me "Are you okay?"I looked at him with his hand outstretched and swallowed dryly. I couldn't be the same dumb person who was constantly insulted and humiliated. With that in
"Yes, you obviously don't know," he hinted before she left the room.At that, I looked at Walter, who pulled a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it. "I'd like to know what you did to that woman. She seems to be very afraid of you"Walter listened to my questions and shrugged his shoulders as he took a puff on his cigarette. "Alpha Damian is afraid of me, being an acclaimed alpha, how could she not be afraid of me, who is nothing but a silly she-wolf?"When I heard that, I was left with a dumbfounded expression. In fact, he was right: alpha Damian was afraid of his own son."Walter, that doesn't answer my question" I said crossing my arms over my chest. Walter opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly he moved closer to my face making me sink my back against the back of the couch."What... what are you doing...?" I asked feeling his breath on my face I hadn't even finished asking when he intervened, raising his hand to my hair and bringing a lock behind my ear"You don't ha
From Bennett's point of viewI couldn't stand the thought of seeing Hester sitting next to that damned bastard, but I was overcome with anger and kept silent for a while. I thought at some point my wolf would come out of his block and rip that man's head off, but things seemed to have changed.I kept silent the whole time. In fact, I didn't know how Hester and my mother seemed to hate each other, but, as soon as Hester looked at Walter and he smiled at her, a wave of anger formed in my chest. I tried to stay calm, so I locked my wolf in the dark."Enough of this nonsense. Alpha Walter, I see you have accepted my invitation to my pack's alpha mansion" I said with a dry tone.Walter and Hester looked at me, "Of course. I even brought my future Luna. After all, we will soon be married and she will be with me in all my acts as alpha. Anyway, I'm not waiting for the moment to send you the invitation to my wedding" said Walter taking Hester's hand and kissing her counter palm His words
As soon as I heard him, my eyes widened like saucers "What are you talking about?" I asked almost frozen.At my question, Walter gave a sarcastic smile "Oh, honey, didn't you know? Your main alpha can't enter my pack. If he dares to cross the border, my men have the obligation to kill him.Unable to believe my ears, I almost choked on champagne. Walter spoke with mockery, as if he was taking advantage of his every word to infuriate Bennett"Why?" I asked."It's a law. Alpha Bennett, the most emblematic alpha, cannot go to my pack" Walter added again. However, when I wanted to ask again, Agatha's voice was heard "I think this subject is only for our family, I don't think...". Before Agatha could continue, Walter looked at her, making her stop her words.I looked at Agatha, who became nervous and looked down quickly. However, just as I was beginning to feel uncomfortable, I saw that the rest of the people present were also nervous.At that, a grimace formed on my lips. What could have
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
