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
Delilah's friends tried to grab me, but I kicked them to push them to the ground. On the other side, I grabbed Delilah and punched her in the face that made her let out a painful groan. We were both ready to not let the fight go, but in an instant, Max ran to me and grabbed my waist as he pulled Delilah's grip off my arm. "You're a bitch, Hester, everyone knows it," she shouted mockingly. I couldn't help but punch her in the face until two boys held her down and pulled us apart. "You call me a bitch? Maybe they should all know your story, don't you think?" I said smiling mischievously. At that moment, Delilah's eyes widened and her movements stopped. "I think it's time to tell the truth..." I said, turning my gaze to those present "Everyone here knows Delilah, but you've never asked her why she suddenly disappeared?" "Shut up, you have no right!" she shouted tormentedly at me. I ignored her words and looked around at everyone around me. "This girl used to be my best friend, bu
"Guys, don't worry. I'm fine" I said turning my eyes back to the scenery through the window. The reality was that I felt bad for them, that they were so worried about me. I had acted like a strong woman next to them, but inside I was falling apart a little. However, I was acting under my own judgment, and my friends had no idea that I had been helping other packs win New Moon Group projects. In fact, I could never tell them that, it would put them in danger and I couldn't do it. On the other hand, I told them about my visits to the homeless children's institute. So, on the way, I broke the silence and told them about the adventure of Terrens and his bewitching girlfriend. The three of us laughed and made fun of the way Terrens used to sneak out at night to meet the girl. ***After almost 30 minutes of driving, Max finally parked the car in front of the huge Sprouse building. As soon as I looked out the window, I swallowed hard and got out of the car. It was a hotel known for i
Anna and Max were standing in the doorway with smiles from ear to ear. They were both dressed in fancy and fun clothes. "Wow, now it's a surprise to see us?" Anna said with a teasing gesture. I rolled my eyes and invited them into the house "I'm just surprised to see you here. Did something happen?" I asked, inviting them to sit on the couch.However, they both exchanged glances with a mischievous chuckle "We're not sitting down.... We came for you" "For me?" I asked confused. "Yes, you're going with us" said Max.Anna arched an eyebrow and scanned the living room as they peeked up the stairs "I guess your mom's asleep, huh?""Yes, she just went to bed" Why, can you tell me what's going on here?" I asked crossing my arms over my chest. Max let out a groan as he walked over to the table and leaned on it with his arms crossed "Have you forgotten? Today is my sister's engagement announcement. So go and get changed, we're going out". My eyes widened like saucers when I heard that.
"Bennett, how can you let her off so easily?"As soon as I heard that, I took a puff on my cigarette and waved my hand in disinterest. "Come on, if that woman keeps leaking company information, we'll become a laughingstock! Shit, have you forgotten everything we've lost because of her bullshit? She can send us to the back of the pack" Derek exclaimed, clenching his fists on my desk. "As the pack alpha, I'm the one taking losses, it shouldn't be your concern" I said softly. At my words, Derek's shoulders shrugged "Fuck, brother, that woman will make you lose everything you've been trying to accomplish for years..." he said with a smirk.He stood up, walked over to the minibar and grabbed a glass of whiskey "I know that, as alpha, I'm the only one who loses out in all of this and I'm sure she knows that all too well. But what's her motive,” he asked. His questions made me feel furious. I couldn't help but remember the look on Hester's face in the restaurant. For a moment, however,
I turned my gaze back slowly and rested it on Bennett, who, strangely, had his eyes on me. "Is something wrong, Gamma Lucas?" he asked me with a raised eyebrow.I wanted to ask Bennett something, but I was silent for a second, trying to find the right words. "If you're not going to say anything, get out of here" Bennett added, with an annoyed tone. "Alpha, when will you break the mate bond with my sister?" finally, the question left my lips.As soon as I asked that, Bennett's calm expression changed from one second to the next. His eyes turned black and his hand closed the laptop in front of him. I was confused by his sudden change of mood. In fact, for months I tried to understand what was going through his mind, but I couldn't figure out why he wouldn't break the bond with Hester. "Alfa, I thank you very much for caring about my sister and for not punishing her. I know you decided to close the border so that bastard can't come back and get close to her" I added taking a step
From Lucas' point of viewFrom inside the car, I felt like my chest was going to explode. I knew Benente only wanted to talk to me because of my sister, who looked like she wanted to be killed at all costs by the alpha. "Alpha. I know my sister was disrespectful and she is making a huge mistake. But please have mercy on her life and forgive her" I said trying to apologize on her behalf. "Pity her? Forgive her for revealing relevant information about our business and causing my company to lose several projects to enemy packs?" Hearing Bennett's words, my eyes widened, it was clear that my sister's actions were not reputable. She had betrayed her own alpha.However, what surprised me most was knowing how confidently Bennett spoke. Did he always know that she was the one leaking information and that was why they had lost several projects?"Alpha, as a gamma in your pack, it is my duty to stand up to problems, even if they are serious. So, on behalf of my sister, I apologize to you. I
Bennett's eyes widened and one eyebrow rose "Your private life?”Before I stopped Bennett's gaze and looked at Alpha Sloan, a mischievous smirk peeked at my lips. I licked my lips and intertwined our arms. "In fact, Alpha Bennett, I came here with Alpha Sloan on a date, but you and your people have interrupted us" I said with a grimace. With a pout on my lips, I turned my gaze to Sloan "We'll have to finish the appointment another time, please don't be offended by this misunderstanding".Alpha let out a slight smile as he used his other hand to stroke my grip gently "Don't worry, honey. We can have a second date when you're free, huh?" he said with a smile. Fortunately Sloan had understood my intentions, so he smiled as he pulled me closer to his shoulder. On the other hand, I could see Bennett's gaze on Sloan's grip and mine. However, I had no idea what was going through his mind. Without saying anything, I let go of Sloan's arm and walked toward Lucas "Since this is over, I'll
From Hester's point of view. As soon as my eyes fell on that man, my heart began to beat fast. He was very handsome in his black suit, dark glasses and perfectly slicked back hair. I clenched my fists trying to calm down. I couldn't let myself fall in front of that man. For months I had avoided him at all costs, but I knew that at some point we would meet again. Thinking about it, I was a little surprised: he hadn't changed much, even his cold and heartless expression was still intact on his face. "Hester, what are you doing here?" Lucas' voice snapped me out of my trance. He was staring at me in disbelief, as if his hopes that I wasn't the traitor had vanished. I could smell the disappointment in his pores. However, there was no evidence against me. With a faint smile on my lips, I looked at him "What am I doing here? Is it a sin to be in this place? " I asked with an innocent expression. Lucas opened his eyes completely surprised; for his part, Bennett let out a slight grunt
The restaurant manager and the rest of the waiters ran toward the entrance of the building with their eyes lowered. I hadn't even realized the man's enormous power. I couldn't help but clench my fingers in my glass and feel concern for the girl sitting in front of me. I had spoken to the manager before I came to live here; Alpha Benetti nor any of his men were supposed to have reservations. At that I looked at Hester and then pulled out my phone to call the owner of the restaurant. I shit myself, was there a serious problem at the restaurant? Why would that man come here like that? Thinking about it, I noticed that my hands had frozen. However, my eyes widened as the men lined up and a man in a black suit and black glasses got out of the car and entered the building. The man gave off an air of darkness that made everyone in the restaurant pay attention to him. Although his eyes were hidden by his black glasses, I could see the darkness flooding them. On the other hand, all th
I put my phone away with a smile and changed my clothes. I looked out the window for a moment and saw that Alesso had already entered the institute. I quietly walked out of the room and saw Alesso sitting in Craige's office. "Mr. Craige, I must go" I said politely. Alesso looked at my face, but I did not respond to his greeting. I just walked over to Craige's desk and smiled. The reality is that eleven months ago, when Bennett broke my heart, I completely ignored everyone involved in the mansion, and with the Alpha. With the exception of Lucas, who was my brother, I decided to turn a blind eye to all of them. "You're leaving so fast?" Craige asked with a raised eyebrow. "Yeah, I wanted to take the girls to the mall for the weekend and... "Before I could finish speaking, Alesso got up from his chair and walked over to us.I looked at the man and sighed before looking back at Craige "So?"Craige was silent for a few seconds "Delta is right, don't you think it's dangerous to go
