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
I felt Freddy's grip on my arm. With a grunt, I looked up and couldn't take it anymore."Let go of me! You're an idiot! I told you never to touch me again in your life!" I shouted over and over. "Fuck, Hester, why don't you accept that you still love me? No one else will love you, only I can make you happy," he replied."Happy? You slept with Delilah for two fucking years? You betrayed me!" "Shut up. That was a mistake. I never spoke to that bitch again. I should never have slept with her or fallen for her fucking seduction, but now I'm sure of what I want. And whether you like it or not, you'll have to come back to me. I'll never accept you with another man. You are mine, Hester!"His voice sounded powerful and domineering. He wanted to lock me up with him, but why? Every girl in the school was in love with him. He could have anyone.Without saying anything, I let out a big growl and pushed him with all my might. "Get away!"As soon as he swung, I ran into another one of the corrid
The car started up and left me standing there, looking at Bennett with a desperate expression. He looked determined, like he was planning something. I knew something was going to happen, it was all my fault! As I was wandering in my thoughts, Anna and Karla ran up to me, next to them was Max, who took my hand. "Hester, are you okay?" he asked me. I looked at him and remained silent until Anna spoke, "What was that all about, Hester, what are you hiding?" asked Anna. I looked at them and lowered my face. I couldn't tell them the truth, Bennett had ordered me to, so I just apologized and said goodbye. They nodded without forcing me to tell them anything, they just gave me space. After that, I walked to the cab stand and took one back home. The ride was short and, as soon as I got home, I quickly went up to my room. I threw myself on my bed and began to cry silently. I couldn't tell my mother what had happened, she couldn't have any worries because of her heart. So I just cried
At my words, Bennett opened his eyes in complete surprise "What are you talking about?""What you heard, I want you to reject me" I repeated sure of my words. "If I reject you, you're going to die" he said. "No. You told my brother you knew a way to break the bond without me dying or you losing your title as alpha."Bennett let out a snort and turned away from me leaning against the wall "I said that so he would focus on training and...".I hadn't even finished hearing his words when a mocking laugh left my lips "I knew it. Always bringing your lies to everyone. You wouldn't even interview yourself to tell my brother that you spent nights playing with his sister just to marry another woman"Bennett's eyes rested dangerously on me for a few seconds. He clenched his jaw wanting to say something, but only raised his hand and brought it up to my hair. I shook my head, refusing to feel his touch, as a deep sigh escaped his lips. "Stop being so stubborn and be a good girl. I'm not in th
From Bennett's point of viewAs soon as I exited the building, I quickly ran to the car and gently tucked Hester into the back seat before sitting down next to her. I looked at her with her eyes closed and her lips pale as I held her head against my chest. "To the hospital now!" I shouted to the driver, who quickly started the engine and drove off. In a few minutes, the car finally parked in front of the hospital. At that, I opened the door and took Hester's small, delicate body in my arms.I didn't even look around as I kicked in the front door and looked at the doctors. Quickly, the head doctor came over and asked for a gurney.."She needs to be examined quickly" the man ordered the nurses.I stood in the waiting room while the doctors and nurses did their work. I couldn't even stop pacing in that small space. My wolf howled painfully at the thought of something bad happening to Hester. But, just then, the door opened and out came the head doctor with a bland look on his face.
Not much time had passed when Bennett's guards let out a cynical smile, grabbed everyone present and dragged them toward the exit. At that moment, I felt a wave of relief cross my chest. I looked at Taissa and wanted to run to hug her, but, as soon as I took a step, a sharp pain shot through my side and I stopped. "Ah!" I screamed, falling to my knees on the ground. At that moment, Luke ran to me, bent down and grabbed my hand "Hester, what's wrong?"Before I could answer him, however, I felt Bennett's heavy gaze on me.I heard his question, but I ignored him and grabbed Lucas' arm, who helped me up between gasps of pain. "I'm... I'm fine..." I said in pain. Suddenly, however, Taissa's voice was heard "Alpha, this man has hit her in the side!"Taissa wasted no time and extended her hand pointing to Alpha Erik. As soon as Bennett heard that, he turned his gaze to Alpha Erik, who shook his head immediately. Bennett clenched his fists and took a heavy step towards him "How dare you
Bennett's growl made everyone fall to their knees on the ground at once. At that moment, my eyes fell on his face. His grim expression and the way his eyes turned black made him look fucking sexy. Thinking about that, I shook my head and snapped back to reality. "Are you okay?" Lucas asked.I nodded my head and looked at him with a raised eyebrow "Lucas? Why did you bring him? I called out to you!" I asked in a soft whisper.Lucas stroked my hair as he held my hand "I was at the Alpha mansion when I got your call".When I heard that, a solar discomfort crossed my chest. I couldn't help but think of Agatha, who now lived there, and Bennett, who evidently went to see her."Hester, why were you out of the house? You're still hot with fever" she hinted at me when she saw my silence.I looked up and smelled Bennett's delicious scent. But, before I could say anything, the old man's voice was heard. "Alpha, Bennett, please forgive us..." said the man fearfully.Bennett looked at the man a
Immediately, four burly men approached from the parking lot. Two of them grabbed the girl's arm and tried to pull her away from me, while the other two guards grabbed me by the waist and dragged me away. The girl's screams, full of terror, could be heard over and over again. My mind was clouded for a few seconds as everyone passing by on the street began to approach to see the scene. "Let go of me!" I couldn't even finish my words when suddenly the old woman pushed me and I fell backwards to the ground. The pain in my back became even more intense as I tried to get up "Leave the girl alone!" I shouted angrily.Alpha Erik let out a growl and stopped in front of me "Who the hell do you think you are to threaten an alpha?" he insinuated, kicking my side causing a scream of pain to escape my lips.I didn't even say a word when he leaned over and grabbed my neck. "I don't know who the hell you are, but you just made a huge mistake. I'll make your life a living hell! I wasn't scared of
After a few minutes, I got off the elevator and walked through the lobby straight to the exit, but, just then, Delilah's gaze landed on me. I tried to ignore her and make my way, but she ran up and stopped right in front of me with a smile on her face."Oh, Hester, is something wrong? Let me guess..." Delilah paused as her sneer became more and more evident. It was obvious that everyone in the company knew about Bennett's engagement. At that, I looked away from Delilah and tried to make my way over, but she stopped me again. "I know... Alpha showed you where you really belong. Gosh, have you seen Miss Agatha? She's a goddess, she's beautiful, she's got money, she's elegant, and besides, she's marrying Alpha Bennett. Clearly, there is no more room for trash lovers like you" Delilah said mockingly. Her words came to me like a big poisoned dagger, but I just shook my head and looked at her. "You can believe whatever you want. I don't have time for your bullshit"I didn't expect her
The mere touch of Bennett's hand on my wrist made my whole body shudder. I immediately turned my gaze to him and tried to break free from his grip, but he tightened his fingers and held me steady. "Why are you so stubborn?" he asked looking at me with his deep, cold eyes. "I don't want you to touch me again," I growled, before I jerked my hand roughly and loosened his grip.I took a step back and pulled my body away from his, but he frowned and his gaze became calmer."You're still burning hot. You have a fever""That's none of your business. Go and worry about your wife, she's your future Luna, she does deserve all your concern." A roar came out of my throat without me being able to help it.I wanted to turn and run away from the office, but he grabbed my arm again and pulled me to his hard chest "You must calm down" he said, leaving his warm breath on my face. "Let go of me! I'm not going to calm down!" I screamed, struggling to pull away from his grip, but he only tightened hi
When I finished showering, I stepped out of the bathroom and noticed that my body was shaking. I shook my head to calm down as I put on a dress and a pair of low heels. Part of me wanted to go back to bed and keep sleeping, but I needed to break away from this thing that was killing me inside. . Thinking about it, I combed my hair and went downstairs to the living room. "Will you go out?" my mother asked with a raised eyebrow. "Yes, I'll go to the company. I must finish some urgently needed work" I hinted, clenching my fists behind my back. "But you have a fever. You can't. "Don't worry. I'll be fine" I announced trying to calm my mother down. She nodded and I said goodbye before leaving the house. I took a cab and headed for the company.As soon as the car pulled up, my eyes widened at the decorations all over the place. It was obvious that everything was for Bennett's engagement. "We've arrived" said the cab driver, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Thank you very much", I s
After talking to Lucas for a while, he let out a sigh and got up from the couch "Are you hungry? Do you want me to fix you something to eat?" "No, thanks. Where's my mother?" I asked, changing the subject."She's asleep. I didn't want her to be here when you came over" He said with a raised eyebrow."Thank you. I'll go to my room. I'll get some sleep" I said getting up from the couch without any encouragement. Lucas nodded his head, but before I took a step, I heard his voice at my back "Are you going to be okay?". At his question, I turned around and a smirk left my lips "Lucas... if you knew Bennett was going to marry Agatha, why didn't you tell me? He has to reject me in order to marry me" I asked curiously. "I know. And you don't know how much I thought about it. But, when I went back to training, Alpha Bennett talked to me" he said, leaving me surprised. "What?""Apparently there's a way to break the mate bond without you dying or him losing the title. But only he knows that
