Grace who had herself plastered to the door appalled by his barbaric acts jumped after hearing her name. Her eyes widened to the size of saucers.

"H-He knows me-" she whispered in disbelief when Xavier shouted again making her flinch badly.

"GRACE!! COME OUT OR IT WON'T END WELL WITH YOU TOO!!" His demonic roar sapped her energy. Grace could the pure rage and frustration in his voice. She palmed her mouth and shriveled into the seat. The driver had already fled leaving her behind. He knew that Grace would also run away just like others but Xavier’s fear had bound her limbs. She so badly wanted to escape this destructive reality but now he was here and the worst part was that he knew her. And the way he didn't even hesitate to murder the cops was a clear sign that he was bad news. She entangled herself with a murderer. A psychopathic killer.

"O-Oh, my God." Sobs escaped her mouth when she watched Xavier through the misty window who was coming straight in her direction. She couldn't see

    A few days later“Anna, table 2 demands two of your finest lattes.”“Aye Captain,” the girl chuckled and hurriedly wiped her hands on her apron. Grabbing a cup from the counter, she picked up the jar and started pouring the espresso.“Make it extra creamier. That brunette had especially mentioned it. I don’t know why girls demand something like that. It’s a coffee, not an ice cream.” The man spoke as he leaned his rear against the counter.Grace stifled her smile as she started adding the milk, “It’s not the same with every girl, Adam. I also don’t like extra cream and sugar.”Adam smiled, “I am really lucky to have a barista like you.”Grace scoffed and looked at him with raised brows, “Oh come on. Don’t flatter me.”Two weeks have passed since Grace relocated to Springfield. To make ends meet, she started working in a coffee shop as a barista. She had to fake her identity to save herself from that psycho who might be on a hunt. She even changed her sim so that her father couldn’t tr

    "You need to take a break, Xavier," Nicholas spoke as he entered the gym with a glass of water in his hand. Xavier on the other hand ignored him and continued raining down punches on the sandbag without any reprieve. He was only in his joggers. His tanned skin was glistening with sweat and his loud and harsh breaths resonated in the room.Nicholas shook his head and walked towards him. Dipping his hand in the pocket of his trousers, he fished out a bottle and uncapped it before inching closer to him."Here, have your medicine." He said and extended his hand for him to take.That's when Xavier stopped and grasped the sandbag. Resting his forehead against it, he took deep breaths. Once his breathing turned even, he turned to Nicholas and snatched the pills from his hand roughly. Nicholas sighed and handed him the glass. Xavier quietly took it and placed the pill in his mouth before chugging it down with the water.His long hair had turned greasy because of working out for so long. A few

    Grace"God, what's wrong with me?"This was the fifth time when I threw up. I even skipped my job because of my bad stomach."I was fine till last week then what happened to me."I could hardly eat the sandwich I made today. It was my favorite cheese sandwich but today its smell even disgusted me. Confused and angry, I deliberately swallowed and that’s when I started throwing up. But it wasn’t today but has turned into a routine. I ignored it earlier but today is the third day.Disgorging the contents of my stomach, I finally washed my face and leaned against the sink. I had a terrible headache. Double trouble."Mum, please help." Clutching my head, I dragged my feet to the bed and plopped on it with a thud. I was feeling too weak."Maybe I should see a doctor."I quickly retrieved my phone from the nightstand when the doorbell of my apartment chimed."Oh, no."I am already so tired and now I got a visitor too. Great.Grunting in pain, I somehow managed to reach the door. The person o

    “You need to sit Ms. Evans.” The doctor hurried to me and helped me sit in the chair. I on the other hand was too stunned to react. A myriad of emotions struck me like a whiplash. Tears of helplessness invaded my eyes but I swallowed them, refusing to shed even a single drop.I am pregnant. Of course, I had sex. How can I forget it? All these days of glee and serenity erased that haunted memory when I committed the biggest sin and ran away like a coward.The doctor on the other hand raised her left brow perhaps confused at my shocked state but she then quickly leaped to hold my hand and squeezed it gently."Don't need to panic. It's fine. Do you want me to call your boyfriend?""No don't." Her words triggered me to action. There is no way I can let Adam ever know about this.But this was seriously too much for me to take."I-I am pregnant. Oh my God!!" I grabbed my head as terror slowly seized my body.How could I be so careless? But it's not my fault too. I was so scared and desperat

    "So that's why you came here," Adam spoke with a sigh. Grace gave him an imperceptible nod while keeping her eyes glued to the ground. After getting exposed at the hospital, Grace had nothing to hide anymore. Was there even anything left? He'll probably start hating her and cut his ties with her or support her which was nearly impossible. Grace decided to be honest with him and told him everything. How her heartbreak led her to trust a stranger. A profound silence swept in the room as Adam mulled over her words. It was really too much to digest. Grace on the other hand bit her lips. Tears of shame filled her eyes. She hated to be in such a situation. "I-I know it's too much and you must be hating me right now. But I-I didn't have the strength to reveal my past. It is traumatic for me too and I was so busy in getting my life back on track that I completely forgot about it." Her last words were an innuendo of that sinful night. She had never thought that she was carrying his seeds the

    Grace was too stunned to react. But Adam didn’t mind her silence. He had expected that reaction."My parents never wanted me Anna because they never loved each other. I was a result of their one drunk night and Mom had to give birth because her body was too weak for abortion. I never received their love, Anna. You don’t know what I’ve gone through."Grace turned silent but her heart went for Adam who shared his biggest secret. The thought that he trusted her so much brought a small smile to her face. She slowly lifted her hand and wiped his tears making Adam close his eyes. But to her surprise, he leaned more to her touch as he held her palm and rubbed his cheek in it.She looked down. A faint red hue crept on her cheeks."I know I am being absurd but I can't bear you giving away your child. You are my friend Anna and deep down I also know that you aren't happy with your decision. You are giving it away only because you don't want to face that stranger."He spoke and suddenly opened h

    "Here you go"Grace chimed as she handed the latte to the man. Her pink-tinted heart-shaped lips were curved in a beautiful smile that melted him. He took the cup from her hands and Grace quickly turned around to prepare another set of orders. She expected him to go but to her surprise, he remained rooted on the spot while eyeing her with admiration.Grace was slightly flustered."Uhmm, Sir do you need something?""Your number, love. Can you give me?" He blatantly asked. Grace was caught off guard."Nope, buddy. She is off-limits." A deep voice answered him. The man was puzzled but soon his gaze turned to a glare when Adam came near Grace and snaked his right arm around her waist pulling her closer.His hold was possessive and the look on his face was threatening. The man felt intimated by that 6 ft hulk and quickly scurried away. Once he left, Grace shot her head up and threw Adam a glare."What was that for? You can't behave like this with the customer." She was annoyed.Adam chuckl

    Grace moaned and shielded her right cheek with her palm which was currently on fire. She lazily peeked through her left eye only to see the windows of her room widely opened, welcoming the scorching golden rays to burn her face."I closed the door before sleeping then how come it opened?"She vaguely thought. After reaching home last night, she straightly dumped her exhausted self on the bed without even bothering to feed something to her empty stomach. The way Natasha humiliated her had sapped her whole energy but now she was regretting because, in all this chaos, she forgot to feed her baby too.Grace managed to sit on the bed with utmost difficulty. She slept on her left arm and as a result, her muscles had turned numb."Ahh, I can't even feel my hand." Groaning, she jerked her hand and rubbed it when her stomach rumbled loudly.She caressed her tummy lovingly, "Sorry baby. I will quickly make food for us."Grace used to talk with her child a lot. She never thought it but she had g

    The chirping of birds woke up the beauty from the sleep. Grace rubbed her eyes and slowly sat up straight. Her eyes mindlessly danced all over the room before halting at the side of her bed.A sigh escaped her lips watching Xavier who was sleeping beside her. With his right hand shielding his dark eyes, he looked so peaceful that made her wonder that he was the same who kills people ruthlessly. Her gaze slowly wandered to his bare chest. Tingles erupted in her belly watching the rhythmic rise and fall of his buff chest. An urge to listen to hear his heartbeat swirled inside her but Grace immediately averted her gaze scolding herself for even thinking something so absurd. Well, it wasn't a new thing because Xavier prefers to sleep without a tee or shirt. Grace shook her head but once again her eyes shifted back to him. She couldn't help but admire his eight-pack and toned chest. The sight stirred her emotions and no matter how hard she tried to resist it, she failed.After their fight,

    "What's wrong?" Xavier who was also shocked by her actions asked her with knitted brows.Grace was looking at him with horrified eyes.'No way. There's no way I can forget it.'She started to shiver. How can she be so selfish? How can she be desperate to start afresh with the people who falsely accused her mother and didn't even think twice before beheading her?Xavier's gaze turned sharp when he noticed her increasing the distance between them. That instantly blew away the clouds of love that he had weaved around them. Fury swarmed in his eyes as he stalked closer to her and gripped her arm tightly."I am asking something," he roared not even caring that his grip would surely leave a nasty bruise on her flawless skin. Grace winced in pain and tried to pry his hands off him but he growled in response silencing her on the spot."I-I, I just can't erase the image of you killing those people." She confessed. Xavier cocked a brow, not getting what she was directed to. And that only turned

    Grace was on the balcony enjoying the fresh air while sipping her brew. She was staring at the large stretch of green grass bedecked with vibrant flowers. She never knew that the mansion had such a beautiful garden but unfortunately, she could only admire this beauty from afar. Ever since encountering Nicholas, Grace limited her adventure and simply remained in her room. She got very dark and eerie vibes from that man who looked ravishingly handsome but his lecherous gaze had instilled a deep fear inside her.Xavier was out on a mission and no matter how embarrassing it sounded; she was missing him badly. He was the only person with whom she could talk. Grace didn't want to meet Nicholas and other than him no one wanted to meet her. It wasn't like they didn't want to but because of Damon's order who had strictly warned them to not socialize with that stranger. She somehow managed to survive two days but now it was becoming unbearable. Grace was never a caged bird and having not a sing

    Mini was Phil's twin and a witch. The sixteen-year-old was madly in love with the brooding Beta. Yes, she loved Nicholas despite Phil's advice who had warned her a thousand times to leave this stubbornness. He always reminded her of the age difference but Mini's love was blind. She had given her heart to King and now there's no going back. Phil was aware that Nicholas didn't like her a bit. In fact, he hated both the brother and sister but their skills were his weakness. The duo was one of the most renowned witches in the entire clan.Mini scrunched her nose at his rudeness but soon let out a sigh."Fine. So, yeah you told me to find out how come Alpha remembers Gassy-""Grace." Nicholas corrected her making her roll her eyes."Whatever. Let me come to the point. How he remembers her even after raking the pills. Well, the answer is... pa pa para." She chimed before bringing her hands to the front.Nicholas cocked a brow, "What's this?""It has the answer to your question. Now come on

    "The coast is clear."Grace padded and quickly hid behind the pillar. Holding her breath, she peeked at the guards who were deployed near Damon's room.Nicholas’ lie saved her life but ended up snatching her sleep. So, she decided to take a tour of the house but that was just an excuse to get her hand on Nicholas, the mysterious man who was her unexpected angel. He saved her but Grace wasn't pleased. She didn't know him and she was sure that he mustn't too then why this favor? It only hinted one thing that he knows her. But again, how?Suddenly heavy footsteps echoed in the area. Grace quickly hid behind the pillar and palmed her mouth when a deep voice rang in the hallway."Mike, go along with Draco. Call others too and get them ready for patrolling."'Who is he?' Grace thought as she tried to figure out the owner of that dominant tone. She was sure he wasn't Xavier."Aye, Beta," Mike said and turned his heels. Nicholas took a deep breath and then tilted his head to the left. A smirk

    My eyes widened."A true Alpha never does that." Xavier drawled out.I quickly rebutted, "But you- you also-""I am cruel in your eyes, isn't it?" He justified his actions and threw me a sarcastic smile. "I am bad but you're good. Why didn't you help them and don't feed me the crap that you were trying to protect the baby because you can’t get pregnant in a day." Xavier said and in a flash caged me to the wall. I flinched in response and looked back only to realize that I was trapped now.It is the truth though. I was looking out for myself.Placing his palms on both sides of my head, he shifted closer. His eyes were dark and I knew he had caught me. But I said nothing and continued staring at him.'Are Alphas really that brave? But how would I know? The only Alpha I've known in my life was that monster. And after him, Dad changed my world. Felix was never happy with his past life so he readily accepted the human traits and I was so down for him that I did the same without any qualms.

  • THE ALPHA'S MAD DESIRE   Don't outsmart the Alpha

    GraceI have no answer to his question. Even if I manage to hide that I am Lara’s daughter, the one whom Damon accused of helping his wife elope with her lover, the mere fact that I am an omega is enough to get my neck sliced. We aren't welcome her, I know that but the billion-dollar question that arises is what should I do? What should I tell him? That I am a beta, a gamma, a rogue. Probably Lycan would work but then what about my pack? I don't even know the name of any other pack. It is because I was too young when we escaped and since then we embraced human life. Dad always kept me away from pack activities and the result is that apart from Dark Moon, I am completely clueless about the other clans."Come on, answer me." Xavier inquired with a raised brow. A flicker of irritation crossed his eyes because of my silence.My palms turned clammy.'I don't know. I know nothing, God.'Tears pooled in my eyes but I bit my lips suppressing my cries."I-I... I, uhm, I.." I stuttered pathetic

    Xavier turned around and closed the door before bolting it. That was enough for Grace to run. Without thinking twice, she made a quick run to hide in the bathroom but Xavier was faster. Grabbing her left arm, he hurled her towards himself and held her firmly."Why the fuck are you always trying to escape from me?" He shouted on her face eliciting a loud cry from her mouth.Xavier was pissed at his father and Grace only fuel his anger more by constantly running away from him."N-No, please... Help!!" she started to thrash in his arms, her struggles turning violent. Grace was dead scared. The face of her mother drenched in blood and her wide dead eyes staring right into her teary eyes was all she could see at the moment. Damon killed everyone as a punishment but his hatred for her mother was more prominent and deep-rooted considering her closeness with Elisa. That beast purposely beheaded her in front of the whole pack to send a clear message of his hatred for the omegas.But Xavier was

    "Who is the girl you brought here?" Damon asked Xavier who was slouched on the couch munching a packet of chips."And I've already told you that she is my girlfriend," Xavier answered him in a bored tone. Damon wasn't pleased at all. He approached him in three fast strides and snatched the packet from his hands before tossing it on the floor."Don't fucking play with me, boy. You know damn well what am I asking? Who is that girl? You can't just bring anyone here." He lashed out at him.Damon was furious when was informed that Xavier had returned with a girl. It wasn't a big concern until he got to know that the Alpha had strictly instructed the house staff to respect the girl and locked her inside his room and again, not before warning them not to disturb her.Damon instantly grew suspicious because his ruthless son who ruled the pack with an iron hand had abruptly taken a 360-degree turn. He was behaving like a possessive and protective boyfriend which Damon always feared.Xavier onl
