ROSEMy fingers stalled on the plate I held. I just couldn't breathe. I had assumed that Oak would be less irritated with me the next time I saw him, but that has proven to be false.The worst was I couldn't even look at Raven in the eye. He must be enjoying seeing me so humiliated. This was what he wanted. I was so sure of it."Take this stuff inside," The maid snapped through gritted teeth.I quickly did as I was told, only for another maid to jerk the tray from my hands, almost rendering me imbalanced. My throat felt thick with pain. There was nothing that I wanted than to run to my room and cry."What are you standing there for? Get to work cleaning the dishes!" Miss Taylor was colder this morning, and I have come to realise that her moods fluctuated so badly under pressure. It was so annoying.I walked over to the sink and began the painful task of washing the plates. I tried hard not to think of the twins, but they crept up my mind without invitation. It was OAK I had wanted to
OAK'You shouldn't have hit our mate!' William growled in rage.I combed a hand through my hair as I struggled to control my emotions. He growled. 'Are you even listening to me?''I don't need this right now! Just shut up!'I pulled my belt out, tossing it to the bed closest to me. I was so tired of Rose and the damn mate bond. I didn't ask for this. She was just a whore!'You keep telling me to be quiet, but it doesn't solve anything. Raven is going to get the....''I don't care what Raven wants. But, I'm not going to make a fool of myself by meeting with Rose anymore. I don't want to listen to your words anymore, so please leave me be.'"Open this damn door!" Raven?Why the hell was he screaming?I moved quickly to the door, jerking it halfway open. Raven growled as he slammed the door back, holding me forcefully by the shirt. "What the fuck? Let go of my shirt right now!" I screamed at once.The shock was too much for me to breath and I struggled for him to let go of me, instead
ROSEI walked through the lone hallways to the kitchen. It was morning already and I decided to stick to the quietness of the kitchen for the rest of the day. If I could make a way not to see both of my mates, I would be grateful."Stop!" Miss Taylor snapped at once.I sighed as I came to a stop at the door of the kitchen. Miss Taylor glared at me lightly. I took an awkward step back."Good day, maid," I managed."Where do you think you're headed to?" She asked at once.I blinked lightly. "I was told that I have been assigned kitchen duty."She scoffed as she made her way to the fridge, pulling it open to reveal some fruits and meats. I tried hard not to show how anxious i was with the whole thing."You don't just give yourself duties.""I did not. You literally told me...."She gave me a look. "Are you trying to argue with me or something? When I tell you to do something, then I expect you to do that without fuss. You're not going to have special treatment because the future Alphas m

OAKI watched as Rose scurried out of there to the nearest room. She looked so scared and pitiful. This isn't my problem right now. "Focus," I moaned a I placed a hand at the back of my head. It made me feel relieved at once.I let my eyes move around the sitting area as I waited for any form of movement, but there was nothing. My eyes moved over to the fallen men on the floor. They had not fought like werewolves. Instead, they acted like they had other means. It was too strange. There must be a way to find out who they were.If only Raven would listen to me for once and stop trying to make me feel like I was some sort of deformed soul who didn't think but just did whatever she liked. I didn't like that at all. But, I didn't have much choice right now. I had to get to him. We can only fight these souls together and not separately.With a grunt, I mentally sought out Raven through the mind-link, but he kept blocking me out. "Stop doing this, damn it!" I groaned out loud as I made my
ROSEI moved up to the small room at the immediate left upstairs. Everything was happening so fast, and it didn’t help that my legs were practically shaking. I shouldn’t be scared, but I definitely was terrified of everything."Oh, goddess! I hope I get out of this mess as fast as possible," I whispered to myself.Pushing open the door, I stepped in, and noticed that there was a light brown chair, and quickly made my way in there. I used a band to pack my hair up, as I searched in my trunk for simple outfits to wear. There was no way I would be meeting Priscilla, looking like myself. If anyone realised that it was me behind the whole thing, it would lead to a serious scandal that I would not be able to recover from, and I had to do all I could to make sure that this wouldn’t be the case."Oh, Goddess! I can only hope that I’m not making a mistake. I have been hurt so much, and I don’t want things to get worse. Give me the grace to follow this through," I prayed as I finally picked up
RAVENI ran as fast as I could to the outdoor area...Two men in black cloaks were fighting two of my guards and it made me so upset. I ran as quickly as I could and disarmed them. There was no way that I would let them hurt my men. One of them tried to kick me on my right leg, but I moved to the side as fast as I could. I froze in shock mid-steps when the wind carried this stranger's voice to me and his deep voice registered in my head. Did he just call me “Mine” or maybe I was beginning to hear things?I risked a glance over my shoulder to see if there was anyone there, but there wasn’t. My eyes went back to his, and he was still staring at me, so pointedly as if he could see to my soul.Who was this stranger, and why was he still looking at me the way he was and even calling me his? I got myself back and forced my legs to leave the ground as I slowly made my way to the table, noting that Talia had a quiet expression on her face. Maybe, I wasn’t the one he was referring to, but he
OAK'Where could he have gone?' William asked me softly.I shrugged as I closed the door lightly. 'I have no idea where he is too. Let’s try to look for him outside first. I’m sure we would be able to find him.''Ok,' he said at once.I attuned my senses as I made my way to the fountain. But, there was nothing but bodies everywhere. I cringed in pain at it all. I had been trained all my life to expect things like this, but it never made me feel better. I just didn’t like how everything had turned on its head like this.There must be a way to find out who the traitor were. I couldn’t do..I froze in shock mid-steps when the wind carried this stranger's voice to me and his deep voice registered in my head.

ROSEI turned towards the left, ignoring the mosquitoes buzzing in my ears. I just couldn’t sleep, and it was still so late. The image of the Oak with Paige was still in my head, and I just couldn’t sleep.Why?I sat up as I glared at the dark. "Why did you have to do this to me, Oak? If you knew you were serious about another woman, you shouldn’t have acted like you cared about me. You shouldn’t have used me for a joke. I’m a fucking human, and not an an animal!" I cried out.My fingers slid over my eyes as I tried hard to control the pain that I was feeling. It felt like my heart was about to come out of my chest, and there was nothing I could do to help myself.'I wish I could shift,' I whispered.I felt the stirrings of my wolf at that moment. 'We could do that. ''How?' I mumbled through the mind-link.She purred. 'If we can shift in this room, then, it would be nice. We don’t need to go out for it, and we would be careful not to make too much noise.'My eyes moved around the roo
PEACH"Oak!" I called out softly, but he didn’t look at me once.Instead, he walked out of me. I stared at his broad back in anger. Since I had returned, he had changed for the worse. There was no form of affection on his face when he looked at me. It only seemed like he was annoyed by me, and that made feel more irritated.This was not the man that I had been dating before we had a fight. I was the one who walked out on us, but still, he should be glad I was back. Was it because of that damn maid that he was so upset? It didn’t make any sense since she was not he type of women he looked at twice.'I don’t you have any right to be upset though since you’re deceiving him,' my wolf, Dolly mumbled softly.1 glared at the empty dining in rage. 'I have told you to stay out of my business, right? I have to be the Luna of this pack, and Oak is going to be my ticket to achieve my dreams. I’m not deceiving him, I’m only making sure that we have exactly what we want together.'She said nothing,
OAKIt felt like nothing was in my power. Celine was smiling like a cat as she informed every one of the good news. I felt like it was a death sentence. The worst was that, I couldn’t do anything to stop what was happening. I could only watch like I was a mute spectator."Don’t they make such a beautiful pair?" Celine was saying happily.At that moment, I shifted my gaze to Rose. She said nothing in response to the question Celine had asked. But, her face looked blank. Maybe, she didn’t feel anything ;like I had assumed at first."Whoa! I’m your brother, but you didn’t bother to tell me anything about this." Raven whined.I smiled stiffly at that. "It just happened so fast, Raven," I grumbled.He hummed in response as he du into his meal. "That is good."I wondered if he really thought that it was nice. He always wanted to be the Alpha of the pack, and now, I have a woman before him, it might be too much to handle. Well, there was nothing that I could do about it now."You may leave,"
ROSE"Guys, please assemble around right now," Miss Taylor pleaded the moment she stepped into the kitchen.I stopped the orange and calmly moved to the front of the shelf, were other maids were also gathered around. I honestly hoped that I wasn’t in trouble again. I slid back even more, swallowing my saliva.Miss Taylor looked stern as always, and her hands were folded behind her back as she observed us diligently. "Are we all here?"Bella ran quickly from the storage room behind the kitchen, apologising for her lateness. Miss Taylor glared at her in irritation, but she didn’t say anything else to her. She instead focused her attention on us, her eyes skimming through our faces."Miss Celine informed me that the family would be having dinner at 8pm. This wouldn’t be a normal dinner because they are receiving an important guest. This guest would end up being a very important family member in the nearest future." She paused, as she made her way to me. "Due to the way we lost our Alpha,
OAK"Sir, I really hope you put this across to Sir Raven. It’s very important that we figure out how to get one of you to ascend the Alpha throne since you both do not what to go the old fashioned way," Elder Caleb said as he adjusted his tie.I grunted simply as I stepped out of the room. I could feel his gaze on me, but I didn’t turn to look at him. Since my talk with Paige, I have been down, and just didn’t wish to talk to anyone or listen to their unnecessary comments. It would only make me more anxious, and I just didn’t want that. Back in the pack house, it was a bit quiet, save for a couple of maids going around. The urge to see Rose was too much. But, I subdued. I was not worth being close to her after hurting her so badly. I should have been a better person to her, but I wasn’t. I hurt the person that I should have cared for. I Hurt the person I should have valued.A shiver rocked through me as I walked towards the dining are to get some of the fruits on it, only to see Ros
OAK*Thirty minutes ago*I stared at nurse Mitch in shock. There should be an error or something, but when I looked at this, I saw nothing but Paige’s face stuck in the ID card. She’s registered here. The fuck?"Paige Star registered in our hospital, and she was...""What did she come to do?" I snapped impatiently.The nurse shook her head in response. "I have no idea. I believe the doctor can clarify things better with you. Though, like I said earlier, this is against protocol. I don’t want to loose my job."I dug my hands in my pocket and slapped some wads of cash on the table. She looked around in shock before looking back at my hand. "Now, you’ve seen the money. Are you willing to tell me all that I need to know about Paige Star?"She quickly took the money and placed it in the first drawer. "I can help you meet the doctor. He was the one who treated her throughout her time here.""Thank you."I took a deep breath as I waited for her to inform him about my presence. I’m sure Paige
CELINEI slid the car into the small space that was left between an ambulance and another blue car at the hospital’s parking lot, only for me to feel the wind of a headache brewing. I sighed as I looked at the overgrown trees in front of me. This hospital was farther than my pack because of what I wished to achieve.Janet had walked out of the house two days ago, looking so miserable, so it was time to make her sex escapades with Raven to bear some fruit, though, I had no idea how I was going to achieve that. But, a fake pregnancy test could be the only thing that could make this work.I stepped out of the car, as I dialled Janet’s number once more, hoping that she would be pick the call this time, but nothing of that sort happened. In frustration, I moved towards the hospital building, only for my eyes to single out Oak and Paige in front of the hospital. They were talking profusely, and I could see the anguish in Oak’s eyes.I gasped as I hid at the back of a white SUV, peering at
OAKIt’s been two days since Paige told me she was carrying my child, and I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t even go on my pack duties out of stress. To me, everything was turning on its head, and I could not do anything to stop it. It was the worst experience ever, and I just wanted to hit something so hard.How could I be so reckless?Yes, I had cared for her so much, and we had being in an on and off relationship, but it was no excuse. I had always known that I would find my mate, and be happy! This was just awful!I sat up on the bed, and stared at my reflection at the mirror on the wall. I looked like hell. I felt like hell. The brown knitted facial hair made me want to puke. This was horrible. I was the most disgusting soul in the world.'We have a mate, and then, another woman has our baby,' William whined like I didn’t realise it the first time.I rolled out of bed, staring at my room. It was a fucking mess. No-one had come in here, and Raven must be having a time of his life becaus
JANETMy fingers trailed Raven’s chest hair like I had all day. This was so fulfilling, and I loved the way it made me feel. I couldn’t believe that Raven was letting me do all these. The last time, he had been upset about something, then afterwards, he’d called me to come over, and I shouldn’t overthink anything he had said. If that wasn’t the sweetest thing someone had told me, then, I had no idea what else was.I pulled my head slightly up, and I noticed his eyes were closed. So cute... He was my future husband, and I could tell he was used to me because of the way he touched me these days. It was so fierce and hot, and his brows were always knitted in concentration like he wanted to learn every curve of my body.The thought made me smile, and I buried my face once more in his body. Celine’s idea of ow to talk to Raven about Rose came to my mind, and I smiled sneakily at it. But, I would have to test the waters first.Moving up slowly, I leaned on my elbows as I played with Raven’s
