"Alpha, good evening sir." I nod in acknowledgement and walked further into the room, she tells me to sit and make myself at home she'll be back in a few.I considered ignoring her request but decided to heed to it since I'll be here for a bit, not by choice of course.Not up to a minute later, she walks back out with a cup of water and a bottle of beer, she keeps it before me but I didn't spare it a glance, I'm not here for refreshments. Maybe she thought I was here to check up on her, I’m not her damn Alpha. "Where is he?" I asked and I could see the way she tensed. She froze on her spot and it was obvious she wasn’t expecting my question. We both knew the ‘He’ I was talking about and I would hate to repeat myself. I see her adjust her posture and tried to act as if what I asked hasn't hit home. "I-I don't know what-what you're t-talking about alpha." She stammered, I settled my gaze on her and she moved back shivering, perfect, I like when they get scared. I continued to stare an
ALPHA JULIANThe day has finally come. The day for the mate bond trial was organized by the council of elders to decide if Rosella really is my mate and if James gets to take her back. I can’t believe I’ve actually come this far with Rosella, the victory is going to taste so good. I don’t know the kind of trial the elders have set down for us but I’m quite sure I’m going to come out victorious. This moment only makes me realize how far I've come and the bizarre things that have happened right from when I found Rosella in that thick dangerous forest with the intent to kill herself. It ends now, all the madness of James trying to forcefully take her back ends today. All of her pain. Her suffering. Her sadness. It all ends today once I win the trial. I will close that traumatic chapter of her life and open another one with just the both of us; an Alpha king and his Alpha Queen. Together, against the world. I can’t wait to make her feel human again. I would make her feel so great and
"C'mon now brother. Scared that much?" James says stepping forward in front of me. My blood only boils harder at the sight of his face. The bastard had the effrontery to look as relaxed as if nothing here mattered to him. I hate that they could all see the fact that this woman belonged to me and James wants her to prove a damn point. "If you're so sure of yourself then let's fight it out like true men!" He added with a scoff and I almost threw a punch at him. I take deep breaths to calm the rage brewing inside me and I tell myself I have this under control. "This was your doing right?" I ask even if the answer is glaring. "What did you do? Offer the elders your pitiful money?" James chuckles. "Oh brother, you're making it so obvious that you're scared of me. Let's face it! If you're so scared to fight me like a man then give me back my Luna!" Enraged and totally mad, I shed my shirt off my body and stand half-naked with just my pants on and step down to grab a sword. "You want to
JAMESAnother vase goes flying across the room and I don't check for the direction it went flying through before I grab another with and send it in another corner of the room with the same force and rage as it hits the floor with a resounding chatter that bounced off the walls of my office and echoing through the entirety of the whole house. For the first time, these pretty decorations were starting to annoy me. I throw everything within my reach; files, books, stationery, and all until my office table is empty and there is nothing left to throw. The whole floor is a mess and there's barely any room left even for me to walk through.I'm hurt somewhere. I don't know where or how and it's probably a bruise or a deeper cut but the throbbing pain and trickling blood on the floor is enough proof of how deep into shit I am. In reality, I feel like shit. More or less like a failure. How could this happen to me? My entire body is shaking with so much anger and the urge to hit something. To
I pass a door and I stop, retracting my steps before unlocking the door and going down the stairs of the dimly lit underground room.The scent of blood whiffs past my nostrils as well as the stench that comes from the moss that comes together from dripping water. The place that serves as my dungeon is now empty and I hate that I actually expected to see someone there. Am I going crazy with such thoughts? She's dead. I killed her. I killed Anne. I killed my actual mate. For some insane reason, I expected her to still be in that seat locked down with both arms and legs. Head hung low with hair falling over her face like a curtain. Body weak, frail, and tired almost looking like a skeleton. That powerless weak look empowers me. Just like Rosella, Anne's presence down here keeps me sane and keeps me together. She's always at the receiving end of my anger whenever Rosella is too battered to be even touched. It doesn't help that Anne runs her mouth like a loose screw each time I come h
ROBERTI can’t keep this secret with me any longer. The way it’s eating me up, I don’t think I can take it anymore. The same way I can’t support evil, and even though doing what I’m about to do now would mean betraying my blood, I don’t care. I’m someone who wants justice, and even though I was misled, and my thoughts went astray when I helped Maria do her wicked deeds, I just can’t keep it to myself now.Maria is my sister, but Julian is my friend, my best friend at that. Julian was there for me even when my family didn’t know what I was going through. Julian never really made me feel like a subordinate to him and he enjoyed doing things to make me happy. Besides my loyalty stands with one man, and that’s Alpha Julian.My best friend, and the Alpha king of this realm, the only man who handled the crown with all honesty and never hesitated to act right even when It’s needed. What my sister is doing is not something good at all, and I don’t want to be someone who is advocating for the
All the while as he talks I make no move to even shut him up.I already know about everything, as I have eyes everywhere and insiders who tell me everything, and I know he’s so going to be astounded when I tell him that I know about all the secrets and even more.Despite the fact that I’m somehow angry and betrayed by some of the things he did, the fact that he has come here to confess and apologize is making me see him in a different light.Besides we’re friends, have been for such a long time and it would be a shame to let greed, secrets, and anger break the beautiful bond we once had.“Are you listening to me at all?” He asks after some time of talking, and placing my hands on the table in front of me I hum a yes.“I’ve been listening to everything you’ve been saying of course. I’m here aren’t I?” I ask him sarcastically. I saw the way he rolled his eyes in frustration and I choke back a laugh. “You haven’t said anything yet, and now I’m already beginning to get scared. I’m really
ROSELLAI sit by the chair and stare outside my bedroom window, thinking about how everything is such a mess, I don't know how my life became this complicated. I let out a small sigh and rub my eyes, feeling a headache already forming.A breeze blew into the room messing up my already messed up hair, if it didn't look like a bird's nest before, I'm sure it does now. I run my hands through it in a pathetic attempt to tame it, I realized it wasn't going to work so I give up with a small sigh.I'm pretty sure I'm not crazy but I could've sworn I heard a sigh from somewhere in the room, with the things that have been going on lately, I'm scared to look, goddess knows I have enough on my plate. I turned around to look at the whole room, I heard soemthing. I was sure of that. "Well, your attentiveness is next to zero, basically it's shitty." I jump at the voice and turn automatically. A woman was seated on the bed, my dirty thought is how the hell did she get here, I didn't hear the door o
