When Michael and I finally arrived at the company, he got out of the car and opened the passenger door for me, and I couldn't help but smile at his kindness. We both walked into the building while we chatted a bit. He got out on the floor of the finance department and I followed him to the top floor. I went into my office and then went to make Bennett's coffee. When I was done, I walked over to his office and waited for his directions to enter. "Come in" he said from inside the office. With a sigh, I walked in and placed the coffee on his desk. Bennett didn't even look up, however. He seemed to be concentrating on a folder in his hand. "Alpha, I've brought you your coffee" I said. But despite my words, he didn't look up from the file. At that moment I felt a bit confused. But just as I was about to say something else, the man waved his hand. "You can go to your office now. I'll be fine" he said in a cold and pretentious tone. At his words, I froze and looked at him in surprise
From Bennett's point of viewHester's words made me clench my fists under my desk.When I arrived that morning at the company, my wolf was restless. As if something made him uncomfortable.Although I tried to talk to him, he ignored me, which made me even more frustrated. I looked out the window again and again hoping to see Hester and inhale her scent to calm my wolf.However, as I was inhaling my cigarette, I looked at the entrance to the company. A fancy car pulled up and Hester got out with Michael.What the fuck were the two of them doing together, why was she in that bastard's car?
From Michael's point of viewWhen we were in the jewelry store, I couldn't help but notice Hester. My God, she was unlike any girl I had ever met. At first I wanted to get her a nice necklace, but the price was an excessive amount. Luckily, she refused and showed her humility. I couldn't help but notice how beautiful she was. Besides, she was not a greedy girl like the others. I had never noticed her beautiful smile or the way her eyes widened when she liked something. After shopping, we went to my car. We were almost an hour in the car when I pulled up in front of a huge peach-colored house. "Oh my God, it's huge. I've never been here before" she said as I walked into the house. Hearing her, I nodded my head and, wasting no time, set the table to put out the snacks and orchid cake. "Shall we start?" she said, as she raised her hands. I smiled and we both started decorating. She placed a couple of purple balloons and I couldn't take my eyes off her beautiful face.Fuck, I co
I swallowed dryly and climbed into the car in complete silence. I sensed Bennett's dangerous air in the air. My legs began to shake and my face went white.However, when I closed the car door, I looked over and saw Bennett in the driver's seat. Didn't he have a driver?Nevertheless, all my attention was on his angry stare and his hands, which were clenching the steering wheel tightly. I was completely silent. I didn't know what to say or what to do. It was obvious that Bennett was completely furious.He just drove the car down the dark road without saying anything. After a few minutes of silence, I couldn't take it anymore. "Alpha...?" I asked cautiously. Bennett didn't even look away from the road; he just stepped on the accelerator. The way he acted made me panic. The buildings went by so fast that my heart began to pound with fear. "Alpha, please. I need to know what's going on. Did I make a mistake in one of the files," I asked, holding on tightly to the seat. At that instan
From Bennett's point of view.How the fuck could I say that to Hester? When Michael said those words, I was so embarrassed my face nearly fell off in shame. She'd only gone to help him decorate the house for her mother's birthday, and I'd treated her like she was a slut who slept with men for cheap gifts. I'm such an idiot! I didn't even remember that Michael's mother and Hester's mother were friends. The reality is that from the moment I saw her arrive at the company with Michael, I was furious. But when she explained to me that he had just taken her there, my anger subsided. I tried to stay calm, but then I wanted to take her home and she turned me down and left with that idiot. I couldn't take it anymore. A million things went through my mind. I quickly pulled out my phone and dialed my men to follow her. It was almost 12 a.m. and she was still at that idiot's house. What else could she do in that house if his mother wasn't there? I couldn't help but call her and order her t
From Hester's point of view.Bennett had forced me into his car and carried me in his muscular arms. This man believed he was the king of the world and that everyone should do as he said.Thinking about it, I kept silent until he spoke. It was obvious that he thought I was just some random bitch, which made me even angrier.I spat my words in his face without caring about his expression of surprise or anger.However, just when I thought he would rebut with his alpha command, I suddenly felt him lean towards me, causing my back to lean against the back of the seat.His breath gently brushed my face and my heart almost exploded w
I woke up earlier than usual and had a quick shower. I had to get to school quickly, so I rushed downstairs, had breakfast and said goodbye to my mother. When I finally arrived at school, I ran to the classroom, but to my surprise they had changed the classrooms, so there were a lot of new faces. I was surprised that there were many more boys than girls, which made me feel a bit uncomfortable. Thinking about it, I stopped in a corner hoping to find Anna, but suddenly an irritating voice was heard behind me. "As usual, Hester Winter trying to be the centre of attention. Are you trying to pick up some boy and...?" Delilah hadn't even finished speaking when Anna grabbed my hand and motioned for her to shut up."How dare you?" Delilah said behind me.Ignoring her, I took Anna's hand and we both went to our seats. "Jeez, Delilah was just born to annoy others" Anna said, turning to me with her eyes rolling. "Yeah, maybe" I said, unable to keep from smiling. Anna grimaced and rolled
When the class ended, everyone started to leave the classroom, but I just sat there with my arms folded. I really couldn't believe that the moon goddess had put me in this situation.There were many new students in the classroom and the teacher decided to put me with Freddy. Was this a joke of fate?I didn't want to think about it any more when suddenly I heard Anna's voice."Hester, aren't you coming," she said.I shook my head quickly and looked back. I got up from my seat, walked towards them and advanced without expression on my face."Are you all right?" Anna asked me again.
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
