Dexter's Pov.

"I can't!" I yell, finally closing the distance before us.

My hands are shaky and I'm panting heavily, my eyes feel heavy and blur at the same time, my voice is shaky as I fight with myself to stay strong before her, but I can't… I can't pretend to be strong before her.

It's like, I'm at my lowest whenever she's around me, I feel like a mere man, weak and vulnerable.

Slowly I lower my head in surrender as my fist tightly clenches as I grit.

I see Vida's feet take one step forward, her hand slowly rising upward.

What do you want to do? What will she say?

"And why can't you?" I feel her soft dough hand upon my cheek. For the first time ever, I felt warmth in the hand of a human.

I melt as she cups my face in her palms, it's almost as if I should throw myself into her arms and rest upon her thigh, to surrender myself in her arms allowing her to do as she pleases.

Was I always this week?

Reaching for her hand upon left cheek, I hold on to it tightly, lowering it gently so I

    "Alpha…" George calls me the moment I reach my destination.Since I couldn't have this conversation at the consortium where Vida was, it was oh right that I have this talk somewhere else and that was my private workspace."Let him in."George nods in approval and leaves as I get ready to face my visitor and not long after, he walks in."You seem to not care about my decisions," my father says.It's just been five seconds since he walked in and I'm already tired of seeing his face, "and why should I, you may have been an Alpha but at the moment you're just my father.""Such insolence!""And why are you here?!" I ask, staring at him with a tired face so he could at least understand that he isn't welcomed.He however, sighs and then helps himself to a seat even when I did not invite him to take a seat."Because I'm here to tell you to do what's right, accept Linda as your Luna, she's the daughter of a previous and highly influential Beta and she's more than capable of being you mate and

    "Hmm… It's awfully quiet," I say to myself as I drive inside the mansion.Because of what happened I couldn't pick Vida up and decided to send her a text that I wouldn't be home early, but for some reason, I keep having goosebumps and feel rather quite restless. It feels as though my heart is about to pop out of my chest.This is an odd feeling."We're here Alpha," George tells me and I immediately recover from my thoughts.Tiredly I lag and get inside the mansion and yet again I'm bothered by this feeling of emptiness and anxiety."Where are the children?" I asked a nearby maid."They… they're in their rooms fast asleep Alpha."She lowers her head, her eyes seeming to sway side to side as if avoiding me, and it's not just her but everyone inside, the moment I walked in it felt like they were bothered about something."I see," Not bothering myself with their thoughts, I start climbing the stairs when I feel a sudden hand clinging to my sleeve.The room is in stand still, everyone seem

    Vida's POV"Make sure this woman never steps foot inside the ever again," Dexter warns as the scheming woman is dragged away screaming at the top of her lungs about how Dexter has made a mistake."Um–" he mumbles behind me, I turn around and stare with my arms crossed. Dexter looks rather bothered and concerned about me but I'm still pissed about what happened this morning but since he's helped me, I guess I'll forgive him just once."There's no need to say anything, it's all in the past," I tell him while glancing towards the direction of my helper.Without hesitation I take her hands in mine and shake them rather violently, unable to contain my happiness, "Thank you very much for helping me, you can't imagine how grateful I am to you for what you have just done for me."It was the first time someone stepped in to defend me sincerely and not because I had something they needed or so."There's no reason to thank me, I've known her for many years, people like her are the worst," she te

    "Dismissed," Dexter closes today's meeting, and everyone except him and I are left behind.Contrary to this morning he's looking rather drained and tired that he leans back in his chair, his legs stretched out as he signs repeatedly."Have you finally decided to talk to me?" He asks without even glancing at me.Nervously I fondle my fingers, constantly looking at him and lowering my eyes the next second."Not at all, o just wanted to know the company status, what's going on, who owns this company, could you at least put what happened this morning aside and talk to me, this is business we're talking about, we're at work," I bluntly tell him.Dexter flinches, I don't know why, but he did, and that bothers me, especially while he's staring at me with those angry eyes of his as if he were aiming to murder me.He growls faintly before he sits up, his eyes staring away from mine and into a corner which confuses me, considering the fact that between the both of us, it should be I who's furio

    "You don't mind that I'm human, Ma'am?" I ask the woman curiously.It's the first time someone's stood up for me and I can't help but melt with happiness from knowing I have someone by my side."Not Ma'am, Genevieve," she corrects me with her name.Again my eyes glow and I stare back at her son and then his mother, comparing these two who are completely opposites of each other and snicker."If only he was like his mother." I think to myself with annoyance."Don't try to compare us in that head of yours," Dexter says from behind me.I'm caught off guard when I turn around and find his fingers delivering a powerful flick to my head."Ow!" I yell while I rub my forehead with glares of daggers directed towards him.Once again, I can't help but wish he were more like his mother."Genevieve, can I call you Jenny?" I ask all rolled up with excitement."Yes you can," she answers sweetly with a chuckle that sounds like melodies to my ear."You… don't mind that I'm human?"Jenny frowns at my qu

    "You're crazy," he yells into my face, pushing my hands away from blocking both sides of his chair.Haiz!He has no idea just how much thought and brain work I put into this to come up with a good idea."Just trust me, it'll work," I say, adding pressure to my words, but he shuts me up with his left hand and I have no other option than to keep quiet.Dexter maintains some silence, and I wait by a corner giving him some time to think.A minute p*ss…Two minutes goes by…Before I could realise it, it's been ten minutes and he's still not said anything other than stare into a blank space and caressing his temple."Ugh!" Dexter groans, his hand finally reaching for his phone."Have those in the project planning community come to the meeting room within the next five minutes," he orders before hanging up.I'm beyond delighted to see that he could trust me this much. I'm so happy that I could hug him but Dexter keeps glaring at me.As if relieved he lays back in his chair and after a few se

    The more I stare at the reservation on my phone the more worried I become."Yes, what time would you like to meet?" I text back.Within seconds my phone buzzes as a reply comes in as quickly as possible."6 pm," it says."Is there a problem?" Dexter asks with a slight shake."Um. Not at all, I just have to meet up with someone later today," I reply. "Excuse me," I say hurriedly and leave his office to return to mine leaving Dexter glaring at me which I simply ignore to avoid letting my emotions get the best of me.As soon as I shut the door of my office I hurry to my desk and sit down. My phone is before me on my table as I ponder deeply about this text.This doesn't make any sense.The venue which has been reserved tonight frightens me more than I can imagine.Diner Lingo, it's a restaurant known for its intercontinental dishes and is very popular but aside from its popularity, one thing remained well-known about this restaurant.It's price tag.Not just anyone can walk in and out of

    I couldn't waste any more time as soon as the next day arrived, I had to report to Dexter everything that had happened till now.Unlike my promise to return home last night, I slept out with Hannah, and the result was fifty-eight missed calls from Dexter.It would have been fifty-nine but I picked up the last one and my ears were almost destroyed by his scolding over the phone."Where are you right now?" He asks, despite the report from his men which states that I was far from home and at a hotel.I'm pretty certain he got that message because I was present and asked his men to personally call Dexter before me and tell him that I wasn't returning last night.It was immediately after reporting to Dexter that he sort of ended my life with non-stop calls even while knowing that I was refusing to pick up the call."I told you, I'm in a hotel, I'm doing my best so I can leave for work this morning. I'll meet you there so you have nothing to worry about," I tell him while putting on my make

I'm told.Never have I ever felt this ready for anything in my entire life as I brace myself for whatever would happen behind that door.I take a deep breath, calming my nerves, and check myself in the mirror one more time."Come on Papa. You look dashing already, let's go, we can't keep Mama waiting forever, she'll die of boredom," Neo scolds me.Rather than Vida, it feels as if the ones truly bored are my two tricksters with Neo sighing repeatedly and Ash pacing to and fro the room.I raise my hand in surrender, "All alright, I'm all ready, we can go now," I tell them."Finally," the both of the chorus as they hurry up on their feet and run out the door.It's been a month since the war, and everything seems to be going smoothly for us.

    Dexter's POVThe news hit like a hurricane, a revelation that left the pack in disbelief.Vida, once our Luna, had allied herself with the rogues—the very enemies who had stained our history with blood, the ones responsible for the loss of our grandparents.The pack's confusion mirrored the turmoil within me, torn between duty and the remnants of a love that had seemingly crumbled.Ash and Neo, the innocent casualties of our unravelling saga, clung to the hope that their mother had been coerced, that she was still the woman they loved.Their eyes, mirrors of the pain etched across their faces, pleaded with me to take them to her—to see her, to understand. But the weight of betrayal hung heavy on my shoulders, and I insisted that Vida, in her newfound allegiance, was to be treated as an enemy.As the moon rose, casting an eerie glow upon the battleground, the rogues attacked our borders with a ferocity that mirrored the storm within our hearts.I, Dexter, my eyes a reflection of the pa

I look at Dexter and everything that happened that night flushes into my brain like a tidal wave, and I have a quick seizure that makes me remember every action that took place two years ago.Dexter is right, everything he said is exactly the way it happened.“Humph..” a gasp flies out of me as I feel a hand touching me.“Vida, are you okay?” Dexter asks, his eyes busy scrutinising my face.Perhaps, he got scared when he saw the pains my eyes held. “Yes, I am fine,” I say, blinking out tears.But the surprise on my face never left, my head is roaming with questions and I'm trying to look normal so he doesn't start worrying all over again.How could I have imagined that

    Dexter's PovIt was a really cold evening. I was just getting out of the shower when I heard a loud bang on my door, and when I opened it was my father's beta. His face was clouded with worry when I looked at him but he pulled me out before I could open my mouth to say anything.he11, I was only in my bathing robe.“Come, you have to stop your father's madness.” That was all he said to me and I followed him to my father's chambers.My father, the then Alpha, was taken aback when he saw me. “What is this nonsense, Gabriel? I told you not to involve the boy!” He lashes at his Beta but I am not driven from my confusion.“What is going on Father? What madness was my uncle talking about?” I finally bring myself to ask but he ignores me.“Gabriel, take the boy out now that I ask nicely–”“I am not a boy, father!” I am forced to shout. “I am fourteen, please tell me what is going on?!”He sighs deeply and as I stare at him I see the scars engraved in his face. He walks past me and goes to hi

Her hand slips out of mine and the look that follows is one full of doubts and worries.I take her hand again, patting it softly. "I'm sorry it had to take me this long to confess my feelings for you." The words have barely left me when she snatches her hand again, giving me a faux look.“You can't buy your way in like this, Dexter. Don't you think there are things you should apologize for?!”"I love you, Vida. Don't I look miserable enough?"“No! I can not accept your love, Dexter. You have to say the right words, 'cause I'm honestly not buying this..”“You were the one that left me! You freaking left me and that has always kept me on the edge!!”“You killed my parents.” She reveals her grudge, shockingly.Confusion spreads on my face like wildfire.

I yell his name but the room is just as silent as it had been.Not wanting to panic yet, I let my eyes take in every corner of the room and noticed a red substance at the far end.It isn't that obvious but as I take a closer look I notice that it's blood, I couldn't take my eyes away from it and it starts to get into my head.“What do I do?! Nothing's working!” I let out a tiny yelp.Again, I try to wriggle myself out of the chains but who am I kidding?

The last I remembered was Silas begging me to talk to him an hour ago.I had foolishly agreed to meet him, thinking that it was an opportunity to finally put an end to our relationship.While in the car, I had questioned where we were goingBut Before I could react, Silas lunged towards me, his hand clamping over my mouth.I remembered the panic that had surged through me as I fought against his grip, my muffled cries for help echoing in the vehicle. But my struggles were in vain as the world around me blurred, and darkness consumed my consciousness.Panic gripped me once again as I realized the gravity of the situation.My heart pounded in my chest, matching the rhythm of the distant sounds of traffic that seeped through the dilapidated walls.I strained against my restraints, desperately trying to free myself, but Silas's knots were tight, leaving me helpless.As my eyes adjusted to the dim
