CORA

I kept my head low as Alpha Blake walked away, then brought back a bottle of wine and two glasses.

"Here. It's a toast."

I swallowed, meeting his eyes. He looked happy, but I needed no soothsayer to see the wicked glint behind his eyes, the darkness behind his smile. I felt a cold chill run down my spine as I watched him, then bit down on my lips as he gave me a cup.

He had filled it halfway, and he let his gaze hold mine in place, urging me to drink.

His right hand held his own glass while the bottle dangled loosely from his right hand. I slowly moved the glass, then clinked it with his like he obviously wanted me to.

His smile grew wider, and I closed my eyes, gulpimg the entire thing.

"Easy, Cora. There will be a lot to celebrate and a lot to toast to."

I nodded. "Y..yes."

He smiled again, then droppeed the bottle and glass away before he walked back to me. "I will walk you around my humble abode. I would have loved for you to meet my son, but oh well."

I swallowed. "Too bad."

    CORAI stared into his eyes, my breath slightly hitching. His eyes were lightly clouded with hate, his eyes thin, and I raked my fingers through my hair, my lips sucked in."But, Alpha....""There are no buts, Cora. If indeed you want to marry me, then you will have to stay from him."I swallowed as he suddenly moved closer, his eyes finding mine. He was beautiful, and nothing about his face could indicate that he could have a child as old as Keanne.But he was an alpha, on second thought, and if he so wanted, he could be immortal.He brought his right hand to softly cup my face, his thumb running along my cheek, his eyes fixed on mine."I do not mean to come off as scary, but I think everything will slowly come to light on its own. For now, just obey me.."I nodded rapidly, swallowing hard. Slowly, he leaned forward, and I closed my eyes tight. He leaned, then left a small kiss on the right corner of my lips.It was not as euphoric as when Keanne cupped my face, or even the anticipat

    KEANNEMy fingers reached for the open buttons of the classic black shirt, and I parked the car, my eyes turning to the club. I have been here thrice already since I came, and here I am, again.But I can barely lie to myself that I don't need it.I grabbed the keys to the exclusive suite I had brought the first time, well not because I didn't like all the bodies downstairs, but for that night, I wanted to be alone in a distracting place.I stepped out of the car and a valet ran up to me, then collected the keys and immediately started to walk towards the car.I made my way to the front door, my eyes meeting the security."Keanne," I said simply, and he immediately moved, opening the door for me.I sighed once I got in. The colors reflecting off the walls, the loud giggles competing with the music. I swallowed, then walked down to the bar. Once my drinks were ready, I directed him to the upstairs inner balcony seat I would wait in till I eventually got tired, and he nodded immediately.

    CORAKeanne was more than I imagined. His lips moved against mine with the fluidness of an expert, his hand seeking a home right in the small of my back, as he pulled me further, his other hand moving around my neck, drawing small designs on the skin.I gasped a little as he leaned away, then bit down on my lower lip, before claiming them again. I swear, I could have fell. Or no. I could have dived head first. And even when he pulled away, his breaths a little raspy, mine all over the place, I looked up to him with the gait of someone who still needed more. Who still begged for more.He gave a small smile against my lips, as he moved, kissing the edges, driving me a little crazier each time. It felt like it would not matter. If I never see him after this one time, he would leave a mark on me, and no one would be able to come this close.Suddenly, with insane speed, I found myself pinned to the bed, his body slightly hovering above mine. The strings had come loose, and his hands traced

    KEANNEI felt absolutely wasted. The girl, whose name I can't remember walked out of the car, closing the door a little noisily. I could hear the annoying clinking of her heels as she went out, then came around the car to my side. She then opened the door to help me out. The drinks had finally gotten to my head, and although the most I could get was tipsy, I wanted to get drunk. At times like this, I hated how strong my system was."Oh, baby. Let me help you."I swallowed, as she wrapped my hand around her shoulder, then slowly led me into the house. I gently let myself free from her, before I made my way to the sofa, then plopped down on it."Don't you want to go upstairs?" She asked again, coming closer.She went down to her knees, and I could hear the sound of her heels clinking as she removed my buttons frantically.Slowly, she leaneed forward, her lips seeking my neck as she started to kiss me all over, an utterly desperate attempt.But even this way, with her lips all over me a

    "What do you think, Cora?" Alpha Blake asked, turning his attention to me.We were standing in the middle of a large hall, at least three times larger than the pack's multipurpose hall. And the pack's multipurpose hall was extremely bog.The hall was decorated in red and black, and the massive spiral staircase was decorated with red and white flowers intertwined on tthe railings.The massive chandelier hung down right in the middle of the hall, and tables were arranged for groups of twos amd was just as beautifully decorated too. There was a grand piano to the eight hand side, and I almost let it slip how much I loved those pianos."Is...this where tomorrow's engagement will take place?"He nodded. "Is it too small? Are the decorations sloppy?"I shook my head. "It's perfect. I like it."His smile returned, and he held my hand, then led me to the middle of the massive hall. He twirled me a little, my hand above my head, and I laughed, as I twirled back, and suddenly, his hand was on my

    I turned on the bed, a small sigh escaping my lips. The chandelier, now dark with only the inner warm light served as my only companion, and I sat up, my head feeling a little light.It had been hectic all day, as Alpha Blake had shown me everything once more, down to the food to be prepared. He checked if I wanted something on the menu, if I had a particular classic piano piece to be played by the pianist.He was..considerate. Except for the little moments when he was a little intimidating. But I knew it wouldn't be that bad being married to him.I swallowed, then let my hand come to rest on my chest. Even though my mind already knows, my heart still finds it hard to accept Keanne's absence. It felt like our souls have met before, in a different time, a different realm where we loved with everything he had. That was how connected to him he made me feel.I swallowed, turning to the arrangement of boxes. The dresses had bren brought from my room and everything else I would need. I had

    I woke up to the slow music coming from downstairs. There seemed to be a lot of chatter, and feet walking up and down in the relatively quiet house.I squinted up at the sun streaming in through the balcony window I had left open last night. Looking at it, with nothing but only the fading memories left there, I couldn't help but smile.It brought back vivid memories of the encounter with Keanne last night, that one last kiss, the soft way he had looked at me. I felt so endeared, so cherished, so easily taken care of.It was beautiful.And not just that, it did make things easier. It made my decision less hideous, it made me a much less terrible person in my own eyes. I smiled, sinking further into the bedsheets.I know that when I woke up completely, I would miss him. But for now, it was fine and I wanted to enjoy it for as long as it would last."Cora!"I turned, and Ava burst into the room, a biv smile on her face. I gasped as she ran over to me, plopping herself on the bed, her han

    My lips parted as I let the water pelt down on me, my hair falling down to the tops of my back, my eyes closed. Ot felt liberating, and I brought my hand to my face, wiping the water away, a small smile taking over my lips. I sighed a little, then turned off the shower and grabbed a robe. I wrapped it around me, then dried off my hair with a towel, then tied the towl on my hair, before walking out."You are a natural beauty, this won't be too hard."I smiled at Miranda's comment, as Ava clapped excitedly, then helped me over in front of the dressing mirror. I sat on the soft padded chair, then turned to my reflection in the mirror. She was happy. I am happy.Ava went off to take her own bath, while Miranda and the rest of the girls slowly started to work on me. One of them took a hold of my right hand, while the other girl took the other, and they slowly started to treat my nails, cutting and filing them.I watched as they slowly painted them, pressed on gem stones on three nails out

    Angeline arranged the gown around my feet, her smile small. She raised her head and then rested her hand on my stomach."You look absolutely beautiful," she whispered, smiling, her eyes crinkling at the sides."Thank you," I replied, then gave a small sigh. I was five months gone already, and I had a bulge. I looked into the mirror, my eyes squinting.It was all so beautiful. Angekine, our soon to be born baby."Are you okay?" I asked her, my eyes watching her. I saw her smile falter a little, but she nodded. "Yes. Thank you."I smiled and slowly turned away. After that birthday, a lot of things have become a little different. All of us had come out of it a little scarred, and even though Alpha Blake was given the death sentence, it had only made things a little sadder. I knew, left to Keanne and Angeline, they would have wanted a complete family with their father. It wasn't possible. At least not now, close to six months after his execution.I sighed, just as I heard the chords st

    "Angeline!" Keanne yelled, and I immediately ran the short distance. Alpha Blake was on the floor. The drinks spilt around him, blood on his mouth and the white suit. Angeline was to his right, on the floor, her hair sprawled all over her.Aylen was on the ground, too, completely numb. And I wasn't sure who to attend to first.I ran to Aylen, but he wasn't moving at all. I immediately went to Angeline, my hands trembling. We had expected Alpha Blake's revenge, but never did we think he could lay a hand on Angeline. Never did we think he could want to have the cure so badly.Aylen was hurt, and he hadn't even healed Angeline yet.I turned to Keanne, who had now come to Aylen's side and turned him over.Aylen wasn't moving still.In one desperate attempt, I turned Angeline over, my hand reaching for her chest. I immediately started to pump, my lips sucked in, beads of perspiration covering my forehead. We couldn't lose her. Not after such a beautiful two days. Not when we were starting

    "Blake," Keanne said, immediately pushing me behind him. I saw Aylen do the same, and I saw Angeline cling to his jacket, her eyes wide."You weren't content with just your betrayal. You had to force her to betray me, too? You had to take my daughter from me too?!"Keanne sighed, then took a step forward, daring Alpha Blake. "Betrayal? Is there a betrayal bigger than the one you meted out to your family? Is there a betrayal bigger than the one you gave to your pack?""Oh, shut up," Alpha Blake said, waving the gun. "Those omegas, you... you are all pure evil.""Blake," a member of the pack, Alpha Zane said, standing up. "If you want to put up a clown show, find a circus. This is neither the right place nor the right time to show everyone how much of a crackhead you have become."Alpha Blake froze before he slowly turned to Alpha Zane. "How about we start with you, then? Little bitch."Before any of us could speak, he levelled the gun at Alpha Zane who didn't even flinch, his eyes narro

    CORAI woke up to Keanne running his fingers slowly on my arm, his head propped up on the other arm."What are you doing?"He sighed. "Admiring my wife. What's wrong with that?"I turned to watch him, then gave a small sigh. "No, you are panicking."He stopped, watching me for a long time, then broke into a smile. Without a word, he leaned and placed a small kiss on my lips."I am scared for my sister. And Aylen."I nodded understandably. "I know. And you have every right to be. Alpha Blake is unpredictable, and I hope he doesn't do anything."Keanne sighed. "We just have to do this. We have to do this to ensure our happy endings. All four of us. I want to be a father, Cora. I want to watch Angeline be rid of the darkness she had to live with just so I could become overpowered. I swear. There is nothing I want more. I look at her as she watches Aylen, and she looks like I know I do when you are here."I smiled. "I know. But I don't think Alpha Blake would do anything to her."His brows

    CORA"Good morning," I said, moving to bury my face in Keanne's chest."Morning sweetheart," he grumbled, then moved a little. "How are you?"I sighed and then moved again, my hand coming to cover my face. "Tired. And we are not even halfway through the decor."He gave a sigh. "They will come fix it, don't worry. Want me to take you up?"I sighed, then sat up, looking around. Aylen and Angeline's blankets were on the floor, but they were nowhere to be found."Where did they go?" I asked, my voice still a little sleepy, but a lot more awake now.Keanne straightened, his eyes squinting. "Do you think they...""Made breakfast?" Came Angeline's voice, hardly contained with excitement."Yes, we did. Good morning, sleepy love birds." Aylen made a face at Keanne, who wasted no time to return it. It was crazy how much of children they could be when the situation wasn't forcing them to be adults.I smiled, then adjusted, my eyes falling on the large baking dish Angeline was holding."That smell

    CORABy the time I got back down, the lights were turned off, and the decorative bulbs were turned on everywhere, Keanne, Angeline, and Aylen sitting around it. I walked to Angeline and handed her the blanket, a small smile on my lips."Here," I said, stretching my hand out to her.She looked up, then gave a slow nod and accepted it. "Thank you."Keanne tapped the space beside him, and I went over, then sat down, putting the blanket on my lap."What can I say? At least Aylen can breaathe now.""Stop," Aylen said, his eyes wide, his cheeks immediately reddening. We all burst into laughter, including Angeline, and he simply melted into her shoulder to hide his embarrassment. They were extremely beautiful, and I hoped they wouldn't have to go through the roller coasters that we did."Does Blake know you left?" Keanne asked when everywhere quieted down, his eyes lifting to meet hers.She swallowed. "He was... losing it.""Losing it?" I asked the question for everyone.She nodded. "He wa te

    CORAKeanne held on to my thigh as he slowly drove. The silence was a little awkward, and I kept turning to Angeline and Aylen in the back seat. Aylen seemed pretty comfortable, while Angeline kept turning to him, her eyes big with adoration. It reminded me of myself and Keanne once.I gave a small smile, then slowly turned back to the front. Angeline would still be going back home, so we would drop her a few metres away from Alpha's place. We stopped, and Keanne turned to her, then gave her a small smile."If you need Aylen, he is with me now."She slowly nodded. "Thank you." Her voice was low, and she turned to Aylen. He said nothing, then went out and went around to open the door for her."We look forward to seeing you at the party, Angeline."She turned to me, then slowly nodded. My smile brightened, and she tried to return it. I understood her and knew she would need some more time to get used to us. She didn't need to get used to Blake since he didn't love her anyway. I watched

    "She is here," Keanne whispered with a small chuckle. I looked down at him, and he looked to be enjoying it."You like this, don't you?""Mhm," he laughed again, then slowly helped me out of the lake. "Aren't you curious how Angeline is when she is in love?"I shrugged. "I mean, I am, but... well..." I trailed off. "I mean, well, when I first went to the office, I thought she had a thing for you."He turned to me, then broke into a low laugh. "Not to lie, I thought so too. That's why I took her to that dinner. Thinking back now, even her weird naive act made sense. Anyone with intelligence would see the strain in that environment."I snickered. "Sure, now it does."Silence fell between us, punctuated by the slow, unhurried footsteps. I knew they belonged to Aylen."Were you jealous?" Keanne suddenly asked, turning to me, mischief in his eyes.I rolled my eyes and punched his shoulder playfully. He laughed, just as I heard Angeline's voice. And we both went silent. "Never did I think y

    CORAI watched Keanne slowly dress up, a glass of wine in one hand, his phone on the other. He kept having to drop his wine to pull up the trousers or to look for a shirt to go with it.I gave a small sigh, then grabbed a simple black button-down shirt for him to wear. He gave me an appreciative smile, then moved his hands briefly so I could help him wear it. I slowly buttoned it up, then tapped on his chest twice."You are my big man," I said, laughing. He broke into a smile, then turned his attention back to the phone. He was going over the details of the party, and right before he cut the call, he said he would leave the house open so they could bring some supplies he had ordered."Is that safe?" I asked, turning to him.He nodded. "Yes. Don't worry about it."I nodded, then followed behind him. I suddenly stopped, remembering the mystery guy. "Wait, what about Aylen?"Keanne stopped, then turned upstairs, just as the door opened, and Aylen slowly stepped out. He was wearing a simp
