Freddy had called me a weak omega bitch! Had he always thought that way about me? Why did he have to say those words?
I shook my head and continued on aimlessly, not knowing how long I had been running, until a strange pain came over my body. I didn't know what was happening, but I began to sweat as the sun beat down hard on my head.
Fuck, a couple of loud noises sounded behind me and I quickly turned around.
/Our alpha has arrived! Clear the way/ I heard a voice shouting in the distance.
However, I was so deep in thought that I didn't even pay attention to the words the man shouted. I just continued walking while my sight was completely blurred.
With my body staggering I heard a loud horn honking again and again behind me. But when I turned around I was stunned. There were several black luxury cars behind me.
I arched an eyebrow and saw one of the cars stop and open its door. Suddenly a tall, black-suited man stepped out of the passenger side of the car. The man walked towards me and stopped. His huge figure blocked the sun that covered my head.
I shook my head and tried to clear my gaze, but when his face cleared, my eyes widened in surprise.
This was no mere man, this was Freddy's older brother, alpha Bennet. It was the third time I had seen Bennet in my life, after all, he was either busy or travelling with his fiancée, the future luna Monique.
Out of my thoughts I watched how Bennet wrinkled his nose and stared into my eyes. He didn't even have to say a word, for me to know what he was thinking.
/I... I just.../ I tried to say.
I actually wanted to tell him everything that had happened with Freddy, his brother, but my words stopped and before I could think, my head started spinning.
A darkness came over me from head to toe and my body went completely limp. I closed my eyes and let myself fall, yet I felt two muscular arms hold me up in the air.
Maybe I was dreaming, but the sensation of their touch caused a strange tingling inside my body. It was something I had never felt before, I didn't know how to explain it.
***
My body ached, I didn't know what had happened, but when I woke up the only thing I could remember was that unhappy scene between Freddy and Delilah. They both remained in my mind as if I was recording a horrible sex film.
At those thoughts I felt my heart beating fast, I didn't even realise I was lying on my own bed.
Groaning in pain I sat up in bed and felt everything spinning around, however, just then I remembered the last thing that had happened.
Oh my goddess, I had fainted in the arms of my alpha!
I didn't even have time to think, as I quickly jumped out of bed and ran into the kitchen. /Mother!/ I cried out.
/Oh, Hester, you woke up!/ She said hugging me /Honey, I was so worried about you, are you feeling better?/
/I'm fine mother, but how did I get home? What happened?/ I asked confused.
/Lucas brought you home, he said he was with alpha when you showed up in the middle of the street. Alpha Bennet came out to make sure you were okay, but Lucas ran when he recognised you and brought you home/
/Fuck, this is so embarrassing/ I said covering my mouth.
My mother let out a small smile and shook her head /It wasn't/ She said trying to comfort me.
With her words I felt that things had been much worse. I had witnessed my boyfriend's betrayal, my best friend and him having an affair, then I embarrassed my brother, maybe it wasn't my day.
Thinking about it the hours passed and midnight finally came. I was in my room lying on my back rambling in my thoughts, until my bedroom door opened with a loud bang.
/It's time to congratulate the birthday girl.../ shouted Lucas and my mother all of a sudden.
Fuck, I was so immersed in my grief that I hadn't even realised that today was my 19th birthday. I quickly dried my tears and sat down to look at them.
/Were you crying?/ Lucas asked, sitting down next to me.
/No, don't worry/ I said faking a smile.
He looked at me with intrigue and placed the birthday cake on the bedside table. /If it's because of what happened today, don't worry, it's nothing to be sad about/ He said stroking my hair.
/Come on daughter, cheer up, you're turning 19, you should be happy/ Said my mother giving me a big hug.
In fact, she was right, even if that bastard Freddy had cheated on me, it was time to get on with my life... Thinking about it I forced a smile and sighed.
After eating a piece of cake, my mother and Lucas handed me two little boxes with an envelope. However, I didn't feel like looking at them, so I just put them away and went back to bed while they went to their rooms.
I don't know at what point I fell asleep, but when I woke up I felt the same pain in my chest. I didn't want to get out of bed, so my mother took my food to my room.When the clock struck 7 p.m., my mother came back to my room with a couple of sandwiches /Honey, are you still sleeping?/ She said./Sorry, I'm tired/ I said hiding my sadness./My girl, Lucas will come for you in an hour, you have to get ready to go to the pack event/ She said.Fuck, I didn't remember that I was invited to alpha Bennet's engagement ceremony./I'm sorry, I don't think I can go/ I said.In fact, I didn't want to be there, it was certain that Freddy was there, and I didn't want to see him or have any kind of relationship with him and his family./What? You must go... You are invited, and alpha bennet is not persuasive with rejection. Come on, it's a rule, you can't disobey/ My mother said.The reality is that another one of the silly rules of the pack, is that as an omega I was obliged to comply with every
I didn't know what to do, my wolf was going crazy inside me. However, when I realised, Bennet had his angry eyes on me. He was looking at me with the clarity that he was completely annoyed that I was there.However, I felt my wolf waiting inside of me, and without taking it anymore, I fell to my knees on the ground and felt my tears fall from my eyes.I looked up and fixed my gaze on Bennet's perfect face. His clear eyes, his silky hair, and his pink lips. I had never detailed him in this way until now./My mate.../ I said finally in front of everyone present.At that very moment everyone's eyes fell on me, while a deep growl came from Bennet's lips making the walls of the huge hall echo loudly.I closed my eyes and began to sob, unable to bear his heavy gaze upon me. But Bennet growled again causing several members of the pack to fall to their knees and bow under his alpha command.He had a command even more powerful than any alpha, so much so that he made the lower ranking members s
My heart was beating faster than normal, his presence igniting my wolf into an indescribable horniness.At that, I had no choice but to close my eyes and sigh deeply to control my wolf. I knew that everything I felt was only because of the bond between us./Freddy.../ I heard Bennet's husky voice again as a shiver ran through my blood.Freddy immediately released my arms and looked down, walking towards Bennet./Brother, I.../Freddy's words were interrupted when the door opened again and his parents entered with an angry and worried expression./How the hell could this happen? My reputation has been ruined! I've worked all my life for this moment and one silly girl ruins it?/ said the former alpha Richard./Honey, calm down, let's let our son sort them out,/ said Freddy's mother gently./What? Are you forgetting who our son is? He's the alpha of the pack! You know the rules!!!/ shouted Alpha Richard making the walls shake.I couldn't help but sob silently when I heard them scream. He
Immediately my words stopped and I looked at him. Without hesitation I looked down and walked towards the exit of the room, however, before I could take another step, Bennet stopped in front of me to stop me./You're staying/ He said in his dangerous voice.At the sound of it, my legs were paralysed. My body began to tremble and my hands were sweating with fear./Brother.../ Freddy said wanting to grab my arm.But Bennet responded with a furious look. At that Freddy lowered his hand and frowned. Even though I could see his annoyance, he just remained silent and left the room in compliance with his older brother's order.As soon as everyone had left the room, I had been left alone with Bennet, who locked the door behind me, causing a wave of nerves to sweep over me.In an instant he was standing in front of me with his dangerous alpha aura and his fists clenched./Alpha I.../Before I could finish speaking he reached out his arm and grabbed my neck tightly /So, what did you call me in
Just as I thought Alpha Bennett would snatch my life away, Lucas' voice was suddenly heard. "Alpha...," Lucas said leaning in. When I heard his voices, a wave of calm ran through my body. I quickly ran to him and stopped beside him. "I've come to...," Lucas tried to say in a trembling voice.Just then, however, Bennet's voice boomed off the walls."I want you to get the hell out of my mansion right now!" he exclaimed. At those words, my eyes widened like two saucers, but Luke's expression was shocked. "Alpha... what... what do you mean by that?" he asked still dumbfounded. "Can't you hear? I want you to get your sister out of here and out of my mansion. From now on you are no longer my Gamma, you are dismissed from your position" Bennet insinuated making his way towards the exit. The door banged loudly as boisterous footsteps could be heard coming from the stairs. As soon as we were alone, Lucas turned to face me and swallowed hard, "Hester, what just happened? Why is the alpha
More than three hours had passed and we hadn't heard any news from my mother. Lucas was pacing back and forth with his hands on his head, while I sat on the floor and hid my head between my knees. I kept thinking about what was going to happen now, however, just as I was about to say something to Lucas, a doctor approached us. "Doctor, how is my mother?" asked Lucas, concerned. The doctor took off his mask and looked at us with a serious expression, "Mrs. Daisy is a strong wolf, but her heart seemed to have suffered a little. Maybe something has happened to her." "What do you mean by that?" I asked. "We wolves have the ability of fast healing, but with her mother's problem, she won't heal like the rest.... She doesn't have much time left," the doctor said in a low tone. At those words, I looked at Lucas and swallowed dryly. My mother had her time counted down."You can see her if you want." Said the doctor suddenly.I looked at Lucas and gestured to him. I couldn't see my mother
For years I had dealt with girls like that, who just wanted to get my attention, just like Hester had done that afternoon when she showed up in front of my car and fell to the ground. Besides, that bitch was accusing my brother Freddy of cheating on her, how far could her greed go?It was obvious that girl just wanted to become my Luna, and she would do anything to get it. I couldn't help but clench my fists and frown. But just at that moment my father's voice was heard. "Bennet, what are you planning to do, this is a bloody mess!" my father hinted with his hands on his head. I looked at him and noticed his worried expression. I just waved him off and sat back on the couch, thoughtfully. "How can you be calm, you went all the way to Alpha Carl's mansion and brought his daughter here! What the hell do you plan to do to control the situation?" my father shouted hysterically."Father, stop it! You must calm down! You think I can't handle the situation, do you think I'm afraid of Al
Bennet was upset, I could see it in his eyes and in the way he was addressing me. However, I was undeterred and took a step forward. "So, what's supposed to happen now?" I asked him with a frown. He cleared his throat, put his hands to his chin and looked at me seriously before replying, "I want you to accept your punishment.""Punishment? What are you talking about?" I asked with wide eyes. "Yes, you must be punished for being the mate of someone of higher rank," he hinted teasingly.As soon as I heard it, my heart stopped. Was he insulting me? But why did his words cause me so much pain? I didn't feel anything for Bennet, I didn't even care, but his words hurt me terribly. What the hell was wrong with me? Since when did his words hurt me? At first, I didn't care what he thought, but now it seemed that the mate bond was having an effect on me."Alpha Bennet. I'm sorry about what happened at your commitment ceremony. I know I messed everything up and my apologies are useless. But
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
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
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 Hester's point of view. It was the first time I had seen that expression on Lucas. For a second, I felt anger course through his body as he took a step back. In fact, I didn't even see him that upset when Bennett was about to pull him out of Gamma training. At that, I swallowed hard. It was obvious that Lucas had never heard of my arrival at that company. If Lucas found out that Bennett blackmailed me to get him out of his position if I didn't sleep with him, Lucas would get even angrier. Even he might give up his Gamma position! As I rambled on in those thoughts, I saw Lucas' gaze seem to give the green light to his wolf, so in a matter of seconds I ran towards him, but unfortunately Lucas was quicker and ran towards Bennett and grabbed him by the throat."What kind of man are you? How dare you offer my sister to lower herself as your mistress? She's not one of those women you fuck! She's a proper woman and you and your brother broke her heart!" Lucas snarled pouring out al
"Alfa, please let my sister go" Lucas hinted, cautiously approaching us both. Bennettt seemed to disregard and didn't take his dangerous gaze from my eyes. He even seemed to want to reach for my wolf, but I hid her in my chest preventing the mate bond from taking effect. "Alpha, I apologize for what happened, but please don't hurt my sister. I will take care of her" Lucas said in a trembling voice.When I heard him, I felt a wave of nerves invade my chest. It was the first time I had ever seen Lucas speak this colloquially to Bennett. I thought Bennett would react, so I quickly intervened "Lucas, stop it" I said in a whisper. In fact, I hadn't expected Lucas to walk into the room. He had even been humiliated in front of everyone by me and still came to help me. For a second my heart was filled with enchantment, but I shook my head and came back to reality. At first I noticed his attitude change, but I didn't want to show my emotions, so I tried to stay calm. "Lucas, don't beg th
From Hester's point of view. But what the hell had I heard?"Have you left me alone? Wasn't it you who came here to ask me to call off my marriage? Can't I make my life with another man, perhaps?" I asked again more forcefully. "No. You can't" he answered self-assuredly.My eyes sparkled with surprise. I didn't hesitate when I pushed him with all my strength, but this time he seemed so stunned that he fell back almost staggering."You have no idea how much I detest you. Go and get on with your plans, marry that bitch and live your life. But don't ever cross my path again or even think of touching my man to hurt him or ruin our wedding. If you do anything to upset me, I won't hesitate to tell the whole damn world about your true mate" Grumpy bond feeling the power growing inside my body.For a second I was lost in my thoughts; I still couldn't understand how this man had been able to make me fall in love like that. I almost fell back into his seductive trap and lost my thoughts, but
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
