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
The reality is that when Bennet invited me to his office to talk to me, he helped with my mother's expenses and sent her to a good hospital in the country, and also returned the gamma title to my brother.However, the only condition was that Lucas would not contact me, as it was obvious that Bennet hated me. At first, Lucas refused to leave me alone with my mother, but I convinced him that everything would be fine. He just nodded and, with a kiss on my cheek, left and moved into the alpha mansion. From that day on, I never spoke to him again. However, he had seen my mother a couple of times, but they were forbidden to talk about me. Although my mother didn't fully know what had happened, she had a feeling it had something to do with me. Without giving it any more thought, I just went down to the living room and walked toward the exit. My mother was doing much better, her heart was a little delic
Bennett wore a black suit and a light blue shirt that perfectly matched his light eyes. His face was handsome and powerful. Everyone bowed their heads in respect. Most of the girls were completely in awe of his beauty, while the guys just recoiled in fright. On the other side, more than twenty men entered who were Bennett's warriors. They used to follow him everywhere, but I didn't recognize more than two. I examined each man, excited that I might see Lucas among them, but to my misfortune none of them were Lucas.I was so lost in thought that I didn't even realize I was the only one in the huge room who hadn't bowed to Alpha Bennett. But before I could do anything, Anna grabbed my arm and pulled me down "Fuck, are you looking to die?" she said, surly"Thank you very much, you may sit down," Bennett said in that fucking perfect tone of voice. Her scent had hit my nose making me suddenly shiver. For a moment I looked down, trying to control myself, but it was no use. The bond was
All my attention was on the stage."-Student Hester from room 102, please present your project."When I heard those words, my heart almost stopped. What the hell was I going to do now? I had studied for weeks for that project and now I had nothing. I didn't know what I was going to say at that moment, but I walked up on stage with shaking hands and looked at everyone present. However, at that moment, I could tell that everyone present was looking at me in amazement at what was behind me. I didn't know what was going on, but as I turned my gaze I saw Bennett standing there with his black eyes. He looked like he was about to punch someone, as his dangerous aura spread throughout the room. I had no idea what was going on, but when I saw Anna point over my shoulder, I quickly turned around and my eyes widened like two saucers. I couldn't help but take a step back as I looked at the hug
Did Alpha Bennett just apologize to me? Was he for real? I never thought I would hear those words come from the lips of the darkest alpha in the shifter world. However, as I was rambling, a familiar voice was heard entering the bathroom. "Oh my God, what have my eyes seen? I shook my head and saw Anna's beaming smile approaching me, "What? What are you talking about? "Don't play dumb, I just saw Alpha Bennett come out of this bathroom. Was he here with you? Did he say something to you? Is that why it took you so long to touch up your makeup?" she asked, asking more than five questions in one second. "What are you insinuating?" I said.But before I could answer, she came closer and started scanning my neck with her eyes. In a second, her eyes widened like two plates."I see, you don't have any wild marks on your body? And from your smile, I see that he has apologized to you, hasn't he?"How... how do you know? Did you even hear him?""Heavens, Hester, I heard it all. I hid in the
While I was wandering in my mind, suddenly Bennett's voice brought me back to reality "You are wrong, I didn't do it for that reason, I just want to correct what I did wrong. I know I behaved unfairly with you and I shouldn't have done it" he said with a low and indifferent tone. For a moment I was enraptured contemplating how her lips moved, but just at that moment a loud knock on the door brought me out of my head. "Hester, are you still there, are you all right?" Max's voice came from the hallway. With a gasp, I lifted my head and looked toward the door. Without hesitation, I put my hands on Bennett's chest and pushed him back. "Fuck, he's my friend.... You need to hide" I said in panic. At my actions Bennett opened his eyes in surprise and grabbed me by the waist to join my chest again. "What, are you afraid that he will see you here with me? Why are you behaving like this?" he said with an indifferent expression. When I heard his question, I looked him in the eye and felt a
I could feel the heat of Bennett's breath on my skin as his hands squeezed my waist and arms.I wanted to lean my head against his chest, but I restrained myself and snapped back to reality. With a gasp, I opened my eyes and noticed his lips kissing my neck before he pulled away."Ready" he said in a deep tone. I quickly looked at myself in the mirror and was stunned. I knew that alphs had the power to heal serious wounds with their saliva, but it only worked on someone they really loved. From thinking about it, I felt my heart pounding. To my surprise, the claw marks had disappeared, making my eyes widen in surprise. Seeing my expression, he let out a mocking laugh and shook his head "Something to say?" he said, leaving his warm breath on my skin. Fuck, even his breath generated a million emotions inside my body. He was like a fucking oasis that I would go to for the rest of my life. "Thank you" I said as I still kept my eyes on the mirror. I couldn't believe that he had heal
The closeness with Bennett was more than my she-wolf could bear. She screamed in excitement at the mate bond."Bennett... what are you doing?"I asked him in a cracked voice. He looked at me silently and forced me to look up. His gaze was dark and his expression dark. Our bodies were so close that I knew he could feel the bond as much as my wolf. On the other hand, my heart was about to explode in my chest when he suddenly grabbed my waist and pulled me closer to his chest. Fuck, I felt like magic was floating around me. I wanted to close my eyes and let myself be carried away by his exquisite scent. But I shook my head and held on. As I wandered in my thoughts, he lifted his other hand and caressed my arm with his fingertips.My whole body shuddered at his touch. However, his eyes roamed my body making me feel a little uncomfortable. He could see my black dress, which fit me perfectly."Wow, I see you can dress that way too" he said moving his fingertips gently across my skin.
I couldn't understand why I kept bumping into Bennett. It was as if the moon goddess wanted our bond to remain. Not wanting to think about it, I shook my head and focused on my new friends. "So, what shall we order for lunch?" hinted one of the boys. Soon we started ordering food and, within minutes, four waiters arrived with our meals. "Fuck, this was delicious!" said one of the boys. "That explains why only the high ranking ones come here". Hearing his comments, we all laughed and then a waitress handed us two white wines that Max had bought.Max took one of the glasses and, with a huge smile, took the cork and shook it sharply. The bottle opened and he poured the first glass of white wine. Then he poured the rest, but with one wrong move one of the glasses spilled and soaked my dress and my face.At that, we started laughing and Max apologised "Shit, Hester, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry." "Don't worry, I'll go clean myself up in the bathroom" I said with a chuckle.At that m
After getting ready, Anna and I went down to the living room to say goodbye to my mother, after which we both got into the car."And Max?" I asked. "Oh, didn't I tell you? He just left to pick up his friends" Anna said with a pout on her lips."His friends?" I asked confused."Yes. Did you think we would leave you alone? I think you should have invited Michael. He is a..."Before Anna finished talking, my phone started ringing. I quickly pulled out the phone thinking it was Michael and answered without looking at the screen. "Hello... just..."I hadn't even finished speaking, when suddenly, a deep voice came from the other end of the phone "Why did you refuse to come back to the company?".When I heard it, my heart raced and I felt sick to my stomach - was it Bennett? I turned my gaze to Anna, who gave me an intrigued gesture. "Who is it?" She asked in a low tone.I opened my eyes like saucers and my expression was suspicious "Anna...it's Bennett..." I whispered to her. She opened
From Hester's point of viewThe days passed slowly and I still didn't know how I was going to tell my mother about my firing and what had happened with Bennett. She was so happy that I was working at the Alpha's company, that knowing the truth would break her heart.In the face of that, every time I left school I would hide in the library or go into town alone and stay in one of the desolate parks. I didn't want to make her suffer any more and saw no other option but to lie. However, I told Max and Anna what had happened at the company.At first, Max was furious and started swearing at Bennett, but Anna calmed him down and they both stuck by me through it all.That evening, when I got home and was getting ready to go out for the evening, Anna and Max had been begging me for days to go out with them, but my discouragement prevented me from doing so. However, that day they had made me swear not to let them down, so Anna went with Max to my house to get me. "Hester, you're ready now"
I had been thinking for days that something was wrong. I couldn't understand the reason why Hester had betrayed me.Even though Solange had a good argument, something inside me kept bothering me. I couldn't help but keep thinking about it, so I calmly reviewed the records of the employees' bank accounts. As I was looking at them, my eyes widened like saucers when one of the records caught my attention."Five million dollars?", I thought to myself.I quickly looked at the account owner's information and sighed, "Solange?". Apparently, she had received five million dollars five days before she fired Hester. Thinking about that, I grabbed the phone from my desk and called my beta. "Alpha, is something wrong?" Derek asked. "Derek, take care of investigating everything about this bank account. I also want to know who is the owner of the last transaction made" I said. "Of course" hinted Derek before hanging up. I immediately sent him the account details and waited. I sharpened my elbo
From Bennett's point of view,I never thought Hester could go this far. She had not only ruined my engagement to the alpha's daughter, but she had also lied about my brother, and now she had sold out my project. It was obvious that she was very greedy and malevolent. I wanted to confront her and wipe that cynical smile off her face, but she was so fucking beautiful and my wolf wouldn't let me vent my anger. The reality was that it had been almost five days since I had kicked her out of my company. I was so furious with her that I yelled at her in front of everyone, regardless of the humiliation I was causing her. I just didn't want to see her again. How could she betray me like that?As I was thinking about it, I was sitting in my office with a frown on my face. I had come out of a tedious meeting and I couldn't help but look over at the glass compartment and feel terrible. I had spent every day of my last month watching her work in her office. She was meticulous in her work, knew
