Gianna POV
Mom opened the door to the room and came in with Quinn just when I was thinking of escaping. Quinn looks like she had just recently applied a lip gloss to her lips; her hair was slightly rough, and the scent of my mate was wrapped around her even though she tried to hide it. Before in the past, I had ignored it even though I knew there was only one reason she was like this: Quinn just had sex with my mate, the woman my husband wanted to divorce me for, the woman he strangles me for was Quinn.
"Gianna, you look so beautiful." I cut Quinn off by giving her a hard slap on her cheek. She stared at me with wide, fearful eyes, shock written all over her face. Never before had I dared to raise my hands against her; she was my parents favorite child, practically their only child, because they treated me as though I was a stranger. The only way I could get some affection from my parents was through Quinn. Being good to her earns me some love points from my parents, taking the blame for something she did wrong and always making it look as though it was my fault.
I slapped Quinn again, this time harder than the first. She had done so many horrible things to me, but among all, the one that hurt me the most was my baby. She killed my baby! The first slap was for poisoning my unborn baby; the second slap was for making Alpha Nathan strangle me to death.
Quinn held her cheek that was now red; she distanced herself from me and went to Mom, acting like the mama's girl she had always prided herself on being. Tears filled her eyes as Mom hugged her in comfort.
"Gianna! What is wrong with you?!" Mom shouted, "How dare you raise your hand against my daughter?"
I'm also your daughter too. I thought bitterly.
"Apologize to Quinn!" Mom ordered.
"Tell that precious daughter of yours to apologize to me." My voice was rude; I held my ground, refusing to back off. Quinn and Mom were taken aback; never before had I spoken to Mom in such a manner before.
Mom tried to slap me; I held her hand. She didn't look like she was trying to slap me because of how rudely I spoke to her; rather, it was because I slapped Quinn. She was trying to give Quinn the satisfaction of seeing the same pain I gave her inflicted on me. I'm not going to let that happen.
"Quinn smells like my mate." I said to Mom, trying to expose Quinn for who she truly was. It wasn't that Quinn didn't know that I was going to know, but she was sure that I wouldn't dare confront her. In the past I didn't confront her, but I'm not reliving my past life again.
Mom focused her werewolf senses on Quinn; her eyes widened in surprise when she noticed that I was right, but she still couldn't believe it.
"Alpha Nathan helped me when I almost fell down the staircase; that is all." Quinn lied nervously as she gave Mom an innocent look.
"How could you have slapped your sister for such a stupid reason? Even if you were to ever doubt anyone, Gianna, why would you easily doubt your sister?"
I rolled my eyes and sighed as I listened to my mother, "I don't have time for this." I left the room, ignoring my mom as she called after me; luckily for me, she didn't bother to follow me. My major problem at the moment is stopping this wedding; I can't make the same mistake of marrying alpha Nathan again.
"Gianna!" My father's loud voice froze me; a fearful goosebump moved across my skin as I turned to him, wondering if my mother had reported to him on my misbehavior along with what I did to his favorite daughter. I didn't want to be afraid of my dad, but being afraid of him has become a habit for me, one that isn't going to be easy to get rid of.
"Where are you going?" Dad asked. He was the former beta of the Silvernight pack. He retired from his post after Alpha Nathan Dad also retired; although my dad was retired, he was still highly respected by all the pack members.
"The guests are here, and Alpha Nathan is already waiting for you at the wedding hall." My dad paused and looked around me, "Where's your mom?" He mumbled to himself, "She's the one who's supposed to take you to the hall, but she must be with Quinn."
He didn't even sound angry at the possibility of Mom ditching me on my wedding day.
"Come on, we can't waste any more time and keep Alpha Nathan waiting." Dad said in a cold tone, like Mom, he was only affectionate to his favorite daughter.
I sighted Alpha Nathan as I was about to step into the wedding hall, seeing him in the same suit, looking dashing just like he did the first time we got married. I was so head over heels for him that I refused to believe that he had sex with my sister on our wedding day. I allowed my love and affection for him to blind me back then, but not again.
"Congratulations, Gianna." I ignored the guest speaking to me and ran away; it was one of my pack members, but I didn't care if I was rude; if I wasn't Alpha Nathan's mate, they would all ignore me. Even though I was the elder daughter of the former beta, Talon Benton, I was no one special in their eyes, unlike my adopted younger sister.
"Gianna?!" my dad called behind me in an angry tone.
My heart sank when I saw that Alpha Nathan was chasing after me. I can't let this wedding happen at the same time; I didn't have the power to stop it. If I told Alpha Nathan to his face that I didn't want to get married to him, he could lock me up in jail and turn me into the pack slave. If he was capable of strangling me to death before in the past, he could very much do it again.
"Ouch," I grumbled out as my head slammed into something hard, a man's chest. My eyes widened as I looked up at the man in front of me, Alpha Axel. In my past life, he was seen as a beast, an alpha who was feared by many because of how dark and twisted he was.
Alpha Axel had a small frown on his lips as he waited for me to apologize. When he saw that all I was going to do was stare at him, he attempted to walk away. but I stop him because of the crazy idea that is forming in my head: this man was dangerous, but he was strong and influential enough to help me escape Alpha Nathan.
'Please marry me.' I mouthed out my words slowly to him, then, without giving him the chance to refuse, I kissed him.
Alpha Axel POVGianna broke the kiss; it felt like a quick peck to the lips. She had a fearful look on her face; I didn't know if she was afraid of me or if she was afraid of her mate, who froze in place behind her. Either way, I found her situation amusing.I curled my hand on her head and smashed my lips against hers. She didn't fight against me but gave in easily and allowed me to slowly kiss her in front of her mate. Her lips were soft and tempted me with desires to devour her mouth with my tongue, but I resisted the urge and slowly pulled away. The thumb of my fingers moves through her red cheeks. This time I couldn't stop the amused smile from coming to my lips."Gianna?!" Alpha Nathan's voice was broken; the expression on his face made me feel like kissing his mate again. "What is this? How could you have done this to me on our wedding day?"I left Gianna as she turned around and faced her mate; for a second, she looked guilty, but the emotions were quickly replaced by anger an
Gianna POVAlpha Axel. Proposing marriage to him wasn't entirely out of desperation to escape Alpha Nathan. Although I was desperate, I knew what Alpha Axel wanted. In the past, he had a relationship with Quinn because of my family bloodline, thinking that Quinn was my parents true daughter, not knowing that she was adopted. In the past, because of how dangerous Alpha Axel is, I made a deal with him because of Alpha Nathan, back when he was my husband, to stop Alpha Axel from destroying the pack simply because he felt deceived by Quinn. I had to let him study my bloodline and take samples of my blood; Nathan didn't allow me to do anything more than that."Is she ready?" Camilla asked; she was Alpha Axel's mother, but she looks nothing like her son."Yes, ma'am," the maid who was dressing me up in my wedding gown said as she zipped up the gown quickly."Come on, dear, I'm here to escort you to the ceremony." Camilla said sweetly.Only a day had passed since I got to Moonlight Pack, and
Gianna POVI opened the door to Axel's office, and just as I had heard from the maids in the house, he was surrounded by naked girls who were barely dressed."busted." His friend laughed at him. "I'm leaving," he said when I threw a death glare his way. The girls who were with Axel followed him out of the door; they didn't care that I was Axel's wife as they smirked at me.Not this again. I thought I wasn't going to let myself go through this again. My experience with Alpha Nathan was enough, and I don't need another."I want a divorce," I said with a strong voice, my hands on my waist as I stared at Axel, who was still sitting at his desk. He had a bored expression on his face and wasn't worried about my impossible request for a divorce; our marriage hadn't been up to a month. Nothing had happened between us; we both slept in separate rooms since I came to the pack. I barely bother to come out of my room. My foolish decision to marry Alpha Axel hits me every day after the day of our
Gianna POV“What do you think?” Axel asked. From the look on his face, I could tell that he wanted me to be impressed, and I was. What woman won't be impressed by a man who listens to her and is willing to go this far?“Is there something on the list you don't like?” Axel glanced at the list and glared at Carl, who was responsible for arranging the list.“No, no, no,” I repeated, “The list is okay.” There was nothing wrong with the list Carl made. It literally contains every woman's dream job.Last night I spoke to Axel about how bored I was staying in the pack house all day. I told him of how I would like to do something for myself. I thought he didn't listen to me when I spoke to him last night because he was sleepy, but now I know that I was wrong. Axel ordered Carl to get him a list of jobs that would pique my interest, not as though he was going to introduce me to a place but Axel was going to open a full store for me, and he was also willing to let me start a company of my own i
Gianna POV I patted my tummy, hoping to feel that familiar baby bump that I was used to, but it was gone. I was about to wonder where my baby was when I heard a baby cry from a baby crib by the side of my bed.“My baby.” I got up from the bed to carry my baby but stopped when I saw a baby whose face was covered in blood.“You wicked woman!” Alpha Nathan said as he strangled me from behind. “You killed my child.”Quinn snickered as she smiled at me, “This is all your fault, Gianna; you should have signed the divorce papers.” “Gianna! Gianna! Wake up!”A scream came out of my mouth as my eyes snapped open, and I saw Alpha Axel.Where am I? Who is he?“Are you okay?” Alpha Axel tried stretching his hand to me, but I quickly shifted away from him as I remembered Alpha Nathan's hands that strangled me to death.Alpha Axel, I thought as my memories started coming back to me. I was breathing heavily and was completely covered in sweat.‘It was just a dream,’ I told myself in order to get m
Axel POV“Are you even listening to me?” Carl asked in a frustrated tone.Times like this make me question myself if he had forgotten that I was his alpha. If I didn't know how much Carl cared for me, I wouldn't let him raise his voice at me like this. Carl felt like a brother to me even though he's in no way related to me.“Yes, yes, I shouldn't let myself get too attached to my wife.” I replied in relation to Carl's advice and watched him as he paced around my office as though he owned the place. But he was only checking around to make sure that no one was listening to us. Any conversation that had to do with Gianna was confidential; not many people were allowed to know what we were up to.“I'm serious, Alpha. I understand that you want to provide for her and make her comfortable in the little time she had to spend with you, but don't make it any more than that. I don't like the way you act around her; don't forget that we only need to use her and nothing else.”“I asked her for a c
Gianna POV“This place is amazing, Anna.” Riley openly gawked at the pack house. Well, the house was more like a mansion than a normal average house.I smiled warmly at the nickname Riley gave me. After becoming friends with Riley, I thought she would get tired of me and leave me after seeing how uncool I was; after all, I was boring; I was not as fun as Quinn, who could make anyone like her. But Riley was still by my side; she hung out with me and treated me like normal. Others at the company got a little tense around me because I was Luna.“This is my first time being inside the pack house; most times, Alpha Axel invites everyone in the pack for an official ceremony; omegas are usually not allowed inside.” Riley avoided my eyes and put her head down. Even though she won't say it, I could tell that she was ashamed of being an omega.Omegas are normally treated differently from other werewolves. I'm not an omega, so I won't even try and pretend as though I understand what Riley had go
Gianna POVI waited anxiously outside Axel's office. He was with Dr. Gatlin; I tried listening to their conversation, but their voices were too low for me to hear anything through the door.His office isn't soundproof, so why can't I hear them?! I thought angrily as I leaned my ears closer to the door; they were discussing about me.“Gianna.” Axel called from inside.His sudden voice startled me; I almost lost my footing as I hit my head against the door.“You can come in,” Axel said.I nervously stepped into Axel's office, and Dr. Gatlin sat down on a seat close to Axel, who was leaning on his desk with his arm crossed over his chest. Axel was putting on a blue button-up long sleeve that was tucked into his black suit pants; his suit jacket was left over the head of his seat. Every piece of clothing I have seen him wear looks good on him.“For now, Dr. Gatlin and I have agreed that he is only going to be studying your blood.”I sucked in a deep breath as I took notes of Axel's words
