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.
As soon as we were far enough away, I let go of his arm and crossed my arms, looking at him sharply. "Freddy, what the hell do you want? Why are you doing this? What are you looking to get?" I asked. "You, I love you, Hester Winters""Stop it, don't... Stop wasting my time. You and I have nothing and will have nothing!" I exclaimed in a loud tone.He walked up to me and stared at me. I stepped back until my calves bumped against a garden bench. I looked at him coldly, wanting to push him away, but I didn't move. "Do you treat him this way?" he asked as he raised his hand to caress my cheek. When his hand was close to my face, I quickly turned my face away and moved to the other side of the bench. It was obvious that Freddy knew, he knew that Bennett and I had something, or at least we both thought so at the time."Shit, Hester! Are you looking at him the way you were looking at me?" he asked, rounding the bench to come back towards me. "He's not like you" I said in a trembling
From Freddy's point of view.I knew that tomorrow they would choose the new groups for the semester, so I didn't hesitate to get up early and run to the institute. "Professor Belkis" I said as I entered the professor's office. She looked at me intrigued and nodded her head "Young alpha, is something wrong?"A smile tugged at my lips as I sat down at her desk and fiddled with my hands to look at one of her framed photos. "I see you have two children, don't you?" I said teasingly. She swallowed dryly and sighed nervously "Yes, that's them, but why would you...?"I didn't even let her finish as I got up from the seat and growled "For the sake of your puppies, I hope Hester Winters and I are in the semester group together, is that clear?" I said without hesitation. The woman opened her eyes completely dumbfounded "Young alpha, I...I'm not part of the..." she said.
I stared at the scene with intrigue: What was the woman doing, didn't she know she couldn't approach her alpha like that?Without saying anything, I continued to watch how the woman bent down to expose her plunging cleavage and took a cigarette from Bennett's pocket. She gestured and he lit her cigarette. She was so close to him that the smoke was clashing against her hair. I stared at them in silence, fucking knocked out. "Delicious!" she said in a mischievous tone. Bennett didn't even look up, but nodded seriously "You're late".She continued to smile playfully and her cigarette went out. I thought Bennett would relight it with the lighter, but to my surprise she leaned over, brought the end of the cigarette close to his and lit it. But what the fuck! A pang of pain shot through my chest as I witnessed the scene. The two of them were acting intimate, as if there was something beyond a designer-client relationship. However, Bennett turned to her with an indifferent expression
I had no idea what kind of relationship Bennett had with this witch, but the conversation was very strange. I just cleared my throat and shook my head. "Alpha Bennett. I'm going to go. I have work to do" I said sadly. I actually didn't have much work to do, but I hated listening to how that bitch was talking about Bennett and also he didn't seem to stop her, which made me even angrier. He acted as if nothing had happened between us, did that kiss he'd given me the night before mean nothing to him?However, just as I was about to turn to leave, Bennett spoke up behind me.Stop, you don't have any work to do. Besides, I don't want to be here with this witch" he insinuated coldly.Stephany let out an amused giggle and nodded. She gestured and made her way to the sofa. She sat down, crossed her legs and her dress rode up exposing her thick thighs. I swallowed and walked over to Bennett's desk. I felt my stomach knot in knots at the woman's flirtatious attitude. If she had tried to kil
Fuck, my wolf was screaming with excitement inside me. I put the tie on him and he didn't make any gestures."Yeah, it would definitely look good on you" Stephany said before pausing "I'm talking about the tie, of course" she added, smirking. At her comments, Bennett glared at her and she quickly shrugged her shoulders."I forgot I have some unfinished business. Goodbye, Bennett alphas" she said hastily as she gestured to her assistants. Bennett was silent, but she turned to me, "Goodbye, little jewel"I had no idea how to react to what had happened. I froze, thinking what a witch had come here and it had all been so strange. I wanted to get away from Bennett immediately, but as soon as I turned around, I noticed a pair of strong hands grabbing my arm. In a second, he threw me towards his hard, muscular chest. My eyes widened as I stared at Bennett, "Why are you running away from me?" he said with an incredibly seductive tone.I immediately looked down, I couldn't take it anymore
Bennett backed away with me in his arms and stopped in front of the huge mirror. My eyes widened as I suddenly saw our reflection together in the mirror. Was this really happening? Bennett had wrapped his arms around me in a passionate way. "Al... Alpha..." I said between stutters.He let out a sigh and pulled my body tighter to his chest "Tell me, why did you come in a bad mood today? Did something happen?" he asked me, leaving his warm breath on my neck. "I... I... I didn't..." I stammered, unable to articulate my words.At my nervousness, Bennett smiled and turned my body, leaving my chest right next to his. My eyes rested on his chest, not wanting to look into his eyes.But he reached out his hand to my chin and forced me to look at him "No, tell me, what happened? I swallowed saliva, not knowing what to say, and he turned his hand to my waist, squeezing my skin with his fingers. "I... I... I need to know who is... who is she" I finally asked. I had no idea if I could ask Be
With a huge smile on my face, I walked to my office and sat down at my desk.Although I was wandering in my thoughts, I needed to think about some more security, so I pulled out my folder and checked Bennett's schedule for the rest of the day.Surprisingly, he didn't have any meetings, which was strange. I had checked the schedule yesterday and had seen a meeting for that afternoon, but apparently Bennett had pushed it back to the next day.I shook my head and went to the coffee machine to make Bennett's usual cup of coffee.However, when I walked back into his office, he motioned me over and I put the cup on his desk before returning to my office. Bennett looked busy, so I didn't bother him
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
From Lucas's point of viewWhat had happened to Hester? Where could she be? I walked in circles all damn night hoping to find her. However, when I finally got through to her, she sounded dazed, as if something bad had happened. "Did you talk to her?" my mother suddenly asked. "Yes, she... She spent the night with some friends. She'll be back soon" I said, lying. My mother sighed in relief and went back to her room. After all, we'd been up all morning waiting for Hester. I really wanted to talk to Hester alone when she got home. She didn't sound good on the phone, which set off an alarm in me. Thinking about it, I heard a car parked in front of the house. I quickly ran to the window and saw her get out of the car. I opened the door and waited for her, but, as soon as she looked at me, I was wide-eyed. Her eyes were puffy and her dress was wet. "Hester, what happened to you?" I asked, swallowing spittle.Her small body began to tremble as she took a deep breath "I just spent
I wiped the handkerchief across her cheek and wiped them away. She froze for a second, until something brought her back to herself and she snatched the handkerchief from my hand."What are you doing?" "I dry your tears" I answered. "What for? Who cares what I look like? The only one I cared that saw me, doesn't care about me. He only saw me with eyes of lust" she added turning her face red again."Leave that man" I hinted. She let out a bitter smile and threw the handkerchief to the ground "I know he doesn't love me, nor does he care about our bond. But I don't plan to destroy him, I'll just walk away and get my life together. You can leave me alone" she hinted sure of her words.She tried to turn to walk away, but a smirk peeked at my lips "Do you really think Alpha Bennett will let you go so easily? He won't stop. He'll find you and lock you up. Only I can get you out of his malicious clutches"She looked at me without saying anything. She just smiled curtly and walked off into t
How could I live now without Bennett? I had fallen completely in love with the man. Suddenly, all the memories of him came to my mind. His face, his body, the way I thought he treated me out of love.... It was all a lie. I had deluded myself into something that didn't exist. He was the alpha Bennett, a man without heart or mercy. Everyone was right: Bennett was cruel. However, as those thoughts entered my head, I felt my eyes sparkle strangely. "Stop the car!" I shouted.Despite that, however, Walter looked at me and continued driving. "Stop the damn car!" I shouted loudly.At that, Walter slammed on the brakes and stopped the car in a corner of the road.Without saying anything, I opened the door and tried to get out, but, just before I put my legs out, I felt Walter grab my arm. "Where are you going?” he asked as he approached me "This place is dangerous" he said as he approached me. I felt his breath hit my face, but I didn't push him away; rather I looked him in the eyes
