From Hester's point of view. Lucas seemed calm, which she found intriguing. Just a day ago he was furious, arguing with me about this wedding. But now he seemed indifferent, as if this didn't matter to him. Just then, however, I remembered the last thing he had said to me. He had apologized to me for yelling at me and had said that even if he didn't agree to the marriage, he wouldn't stop it."I knew it. What else could you have called me here for? For a man like you, even marriage is a business" Walter hinted mockingly. When I heard him, I couldn't help but remember that Bennett had told me he needed to marry Agatha for business. At that moment, I felt a surge of anger in my chest. However, I saw Bennett turn to Walter "You're wrong, this isn't business, it's a personal condition""And what condition are we talking about?" Walter asked with a frown. Bennett looked at Alesso, and Alesso cleared his throat as he took a step forward "Alpha, Walter, the condition is easy: you cannot
From Walter's point of viewA derisive chuckle escaped my lips at the sight of Bennett's unfavorable expression. It was obvious that the man was trying to ruin my wedding, but his plan had backfired.In fact, when I learned about his condition, I was a bit confused. Why would Bennet set an absurd condition? However, something came to my mind: did he really think I was forcing myself on Hester to get back at him, when it was really she who came to me?At that, I scoffed at him. In fact, he couldn't stop my wedding, since for that he would have to reveal his link with Hester to the world. And knowing the power-hungry man, he would never do such a thing. But there would be no reason for him to refuse to continue.Thinking about it, I was pretty sure the wedding would take place and Hester would soon be my moon. She hated Bennett, and I could see it in her fire-filled eyes. With that in mind, I snapped back to reality "I'll sign the document, no problem".At that, Bennett gestured to De
From Gretta's point of view. I didn't know what the fuck was going through that fucker Walter's mind. Ever since I became the luna of the pack, I had asked Damien to get rid of that bastard. However, the law was clear: Walter was the heir to the title. In the face of that, I convinced Damien to betroth our daughter to Alpha Bennett. Now we were all at the alpha mansion dealing with Walter's bastard again.When I heard the date of his wedding to that bitch, a lump of anger formed in my throat. I quickly opened the mental link to Damien "Do it, go talk to Bennett about marrying our daughter!""What are you talking about, woman?" He replied, looking at me with a blank look on his face. "You know what I mean. Ask him to set a date for his wedding to Agatha. Walter has already made his decision and he barely mentioned the engagement a week ago. In fact, Bennett had made his engagement to Agatha public almost two years ago, but he hadn't done anything more than that, and it was causing
From Hester's point of view. Walter's decision left me like a soul to the devil. However, I didn't care, since we were getting married anyway. Besides, there was no way to cancel, so I just nodded. The only thing that hurt a little was knowing that in 15 days I would have to leave my pack and my family. After all, if Lucas wasn't happy for me, my mother would stay with him.At that moment, I felt my heart pounding nervously. Was this really a good decision?Was it all about revenge? Did I really see hope in Walter? Could I ever be happy with this man and completely forget Bennett? A million questions flashed through my mind as my gaze turned to Bennett. There was no way I was just going to let it slide that he would circumvent the bond while dialing another woman. Thinking about it, I let out a deep sigh and decided it wasn't time to back down."I'm happy to be married in a fortnight" I said with a forced smile, as I looked at Agatha, who seemed to be really furious about my marria
From the narrator's point of viewBennett was silent as he listened to Walter and Hester's taunts. Try as he might to calm down, it was impossible. Hester and Walter seemed to want to break his patience. "If you don't remember, you are no longer my brother Freddy's girlfriend, and this guy could never be considered my brother" said Bennett looking at Walter mockingly. A smirk tugged at Hester's lips when she heard him say that. It was obvious that her words had upset him. "Wow, it seems my brother-in-law didn't like what I called him. But that's no problem, he'll stay that way" she said efficiently."Honey, you can call him that, even though he doesn't consider me his brother, he's getting married soon to Agatha, who is my sister. You will be my wife, so, in theory, he is our brother-in-law" Walter added suddenly with a cynical laugh.At the comments around the table, the Bennett officers were silent as they looked at their Bennett alpha.Suddenly, Lucas looked over at Hester, who
I could see that Walter seemed to enjoy the rest of the meal, as I watched him silently and picked up a piece of meat with my fork and brought it closer to Walter."Do you like it?" I whispered to Walter. He nodded and tasted the piece of meat I had put on his fork "Yes, it is", he said.Just then there was a creak of a chair "I'm done here" Bennett said, getting up from the table. A sneer crept across my lips as I watched him leave the dining room; it was obvious he had lost his appetite. At that moment I remembered how many days I went without food when he broke my heart. I wanted him to feel every horrible thing he made me feel. On the other hand, as soon as the door closed, his men got up from the table and walked out after him."Time to go" Walter said as he got up from the table. It wasn't long when we left the Alpha mansion. I quickly climbed into Walter's car and, with a smile, let out a deep sigh. "Are you still okay after seeing him? Or are you...?" nI didn't even let
From Bennett's point of view. Alcohol was rising in my throat like a heavy acid. My tongue was parched as my thoughts whirled. I had always considered myself a man of ability who didn't need the mate bond to emerge. However, the moon goddess gave me a mate when I least expected it. With that, I was powerful and could easily assassinate that woman and go on with my plans, after all, I was untouchable and no one was going to dare stop me or accuse me. But still, when I approached Hester, my whole body seemed to freeze. Why the hell is this happening to me with her? Why couldn't I treat her like all the other women? Did I love her so much? Had this woman become my weakness? Shit, I couldn't accept it! However, while I was thinking, I had lost myself in my wolf, who, taking control, ran to Hester's house and, in a matter of seconds, they were there, standing in front of her in her room. "I asked you a question? How dare you sneak in..." I heard her say.However, when I took a step
Shit, my she-wolf began to move inside me with desperation. She could feel Bennett's wolf howling inside him. However, as I tried to stay calm, Bennett raised one of his eyebrows and ran his thumb over my lips to remove my blood. I was shocked when he brought his thumb to his mouth and sucked on it with a lustful expression. A simple act caused my wolf to fight against myself to take control. "Hester Winters, don't marry that man" Bennett suddenly said to me.The words left me completely frozen. Immediately, I shook my head and got up from the bed away from him. "Stop it! Get out of here right now!" I said turning on the lamp on the bedside table "I will not tolerate this disrespect. I am Alpha Walter's future wife, I am an engaged woman!". Bennett got up from the bed and snarled with his already black eyes "Stop repeating that shit!"A smirk came across my face when I heard him say that "What, why would I stop saying I'm Walter's wife, does that offend you?" He hinted with a ra
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
