Vida's POV"Shall we," Jasmine says with a forced smile, she picks up the luncheon and heads towards the door.My mouth is wide open as I'm unable to process everything at the same time."How were you able to cope?" That is what I want to ask, but I rather not open any wounds, I think I've heard enough for one day.I watch as she smiles at everyone who greets her, wondering how she has such courage and strength in her despite all this. If something like this happens to either of my cubs, I'm not sure what I'll do.I can't even fathom, the shock she must have gotten seeing Dexter looking like a stranger, the tears she must have shed secretly while stretching out her arms towards him in welcome.Jasmine stops, turns around, and yells, "Aren't you coming dear!""In a minute, I'll just go change," I tell her.Working to beat the clock, I race towards the door to meet with her. The car arrives shortly and we both get in."Where to ma'am?" The driver asks."The training ground please."The
Thud!"Ugh! My head, what happened?" Just now, I thought I was going to die, but I didn't, how?My landing!At once I begin to feel the ground, it feels firm but not as solid as it should feel, it's not filled with gr*ss, and what's with this heavy heartbeat?It's calm and soothing, is this my heartbeat? How could I feel relaxed in this situation?As if answering me, I hear yet another heartbeat, almost as if it were matching with the first."It's good that you're safe," I hear his voice, his familiar arms as they tighten around me, I know this feeling too well.Gasp!I raise my head and find myself face to face with Dexter who's groaning from pain."Dexter! Are you okay?""Yes, I'm fine," he says gently getting up and helping me up."What just happened?""It's nothing you just slipped from a rock," he says with a sigh, but, I'm not so sure that's how things went. It almost felt as if I was pushed."I see, thank you for saving me.""It's nothing," he says.His eyes scan around me and
“This is Mr. Peterson, you don’t need to speak to him,” Dexter says as he places a photo of Peterson on the table.I’m a bit taken aback but nod my head in understanding, although a bit difficult I’ve been able to remember a few names since the last thing I want is to make Dexter a laughingstock.It’s been three days since Dexter’s abrupt confession, just remembering everything from that day feels my stomach with butterflies as I blush.A sudden invitation made its way to us yesterday, a rather abrupt invitation that made Dexter’s face rumble as he read the letter, all alphas were to attend a “connect,” in respect to getting to know the new and young Alphas who just got inaugurated.Dexter defined the situation as a chore, but I see it as a perfect opportunity to get acquainted with the new Alphas. I consider the possibility of befriending a few but the reality of their opinion about me baffles me greatly.Maybe, just maybe, things may be different this time, I sure hope it does.Flic
“Mama!” I hear Neo call from outside.As I fight my way out of Dexter’s arms who has no intention of letting go, I plead with him, “I need to see what the problem is,” I whisper to him.He raises a brow almost as if asking if he cares, I sigh, “We can continue this later, so let go,” I whisper twisting hard on his firm brick n*pple.Satisfied he releases me from his arms but not before whispering, “I’ll be waiting.”I can hear my heart explode as my cheeks flood, I stomp my way to the door to find Neo just about to knock once again.“Hey Neo, how are you, sweetie?”“I’m alright,” he says.His head slightly tilted as he peeps inside, his gaze scanning the entire office, I turn around, Dexter’s as confused as I am as he waves at Neo who refuses to respond.This is unlike Neo which leaves me with worry, Dexter drawing close as he questions, “Got any problems kiddo?”“It’s Ash,” he answers with a long face.We stare at each other and then at Neo, curious and yet anxious, I draw close and
Linda's POV"A human Luna?! Ha! Don't make me laugh," the wolf sitting by my side, Mable says.I roll my eyes, doing my best to feign ignorance of their words, but I cannot argue how irritated I am from hearing it.The others laugh, and I join in to play along.Thanks to that wretched woman and her cubs I haven't been invited to any social gatherings amongst the pack, but that didn't mean I couldn't host one of my own, especially if there are people who feel the way I do, people who also hate the thought of a human Luna being above us.With a simple invitation to my tea party, flocks of women come rushing down here, hoping to get juicy gossip, it's my way of keeping up with the trends as well."Oh darling please, our mates seem to think differently, she is beautiful yes, but I think that's just it, a human could never compare to a wolf and besides, she has zero experience being in charge of a pack so I wonder what Alpha Dexter is thinking to have her by his side," Tisha says.I grip t
"Don't you think it's a bit too extra Dexter?" I ask while standing before the mirror, slowly turning my waist from side to side.I look like a doll in these dresses, moreover, their price tags… I take one glance at it and can feel my heart slowly abandon me.This is beyond the cost of my apartment, what in the he11 is he thinking?I raise a brow in question, nudging at how much I don't like this dress or the price tag, and he chuckles."You're to lead an entire pack, nothing you wear is too extra I'll say it's too shady to have too little," he tells me.The staff giggles with excitement, their chatters, admiring the words of a capable man as they hurry to fetch more clothes. I'm more than tired of this, I've been trying out different dresses for over three hours and my legs have started to give up."Even if you say so, it doesn't exclude the fact that it's way beyond what any girl should have or wear," I tell him.Dexter stands from the sofa and walks towards me.He grabs me by the s
Linda's POV."You don't understand, I'm a guest here," I yell at the guards at the gate.Who knew that stupid tramp and Dexter would dare hire a guard and decide who and who shouldn't come for a staff party?"But your name isn't on the invite list," the guard tells me.I watch as people I recognize head inside one after the other after showing their invite, it's a good thing I wore the disguise, the last thing I want is for anyone to recognize me, otherwise I'd be in serious trouble if Alpha gets involved."It's not?" I say feigning ignorance, "Please check again, I'm sure there is some miscommunication."The guard upon hearing my words flinches and all of a sudden I feel a chill run down my spine, like I've accidentally said something I shouldn't have.Staring at me with murderous intent, I chuckle nervously while putting some space between us."No ma'am there isn't, the madam personally made this list with Alpha, there's no mistake, this party is for employees only, and your name is
"Excuse me, Vida, right?" A lady calls out to me.I turned to her, she didn't look like anyone I was familiar with so I responded to her question, "Hmm, Yes."At once she smiles as if she's struck gold, reaching out her hand towards me for a shake, but once I do, she suddenly switches it to hugs and kisses instead."Nice meeting you, I'm Luna Ashley," she says with great happiness in her voice.I'm taken aback a bit as I did not expect such a reaction, I'm a bit flustered by this but she doesn't seem like a dangerous person so I know I have nothing big to bother about.With a warm smile back, I embraced her greeting, "It's a pleasure to meet you, forgive me for not introducing myself properly.""Oh no you did nothing wrong, it was I who approached you first," she tells me.With a pause Ashely stares at me, her eyes tracing all around me still with a smile on her face."Could she be a creep?" I wonder, but the look in her eyes was saying something else and I'm forced to push such thoug
