BrendaAfter thinking about it for a while, I finally made up my mind to visit Hunter's quarters and have a serious conversation with him concerning our relationship. I realized that I allowed myself to be very emotional and irrational ever since his mate arrived, and thinking about it now, I feel like I needed to rectify things that have gone wrong between us because having issues with him constantly and picking fights with him is only going to give him the possible chance of connecting with his mate, and I didn't want that to happen.I also spoke to my mother and Keisha about it, and they both advised me to stop picking fights with him and give him the leverage to find himself gravitating towards that girl. I knew what I wanted, and I needed to be strategic about my actions so that I didn't end up losing him and, most importantly, losing the position that I had wanted for years. I was also hoping that I wouldn't arrive there and meet his mate just yet because I wanted to meet her
Brenda"You keep trying so hard to fight for that girl even when you know that your relationship with her is a forbidden one. I mean, how can you be so comfortable with the same woman who is probably going to be your worst mistake during her reign as Alpha?" Dario asked, and I mentally rolled my eyes from where I was. I was still very engrossed in eavesdropping and their conversation because it didn't seem like it was going to end anytime soon, as Hunter still had to constantly defend himself and also defend his relationship with me. I have already had a lot of people say quite a lot of nasty things to my face over the last few years, but I've never really witnessed Hunter getting judged for being in a relationship with me, even though I knew that people were talking about him and there were a lot of theories concerning why he was with me. There was a time that I heard that he was only with me because he pitied me after my entire family abandoned me, and when I heard that particula
Brenda I had to wait for about ten more minutes before Hunter arrived back in his office and I immediately smiled at him as soon as he walked in."Hi babe," I greeted him as warmly as I could so that he would realize that I wasn't here to pick a fight with him."Brenda, what are you doing here?" he asked with a surprised look on his face."Mason told me that you were having a meeting, so I decided to wait here until you arrived, and it's because I felt like the last few days have been rough for both of us, and I didn't like the fact that we kept arguing and arguing over the most unnecessary things," I said to him, watching the look on his face closely. "Is everything okay with you, babe? You look very stressed out right now, and I don't like the look on your face," I pointed out, and he sighed. He doesn't say anything and simply walks closer to me and hugs me tightly. I put my hands around him and hugged him back, hoping that my hug was going to be comforting enough for him. I'm
Hunter "So you finally spoke to her about Helene and the bet she proposed? And how did she react?" Damon asked.Myself, Damon, and our mutual friend, Omar, were currently at a bar, having random conversations. Damon and Omar proposed that we go out earlier today because it's been a long time since we last went out together. I agreed to go out for a drink with them because I had a lot on my mind, and I felt like I needed to drink with my guys and also talk about everything that was going through my head with them. I discussed the entire situation with Helene and Brenda, and I also explained to them that I finally spoke to Brenda about Helene and even mentioned the bet that Helene proposed to me. "She was trying to act like she wasn't upset, but I could tell very clearly that she didn't like me talking about the situation with Helene, and she became even more upset after I mentioned the bet to her," I replied.They both didn't look very surprised to hear this, and I wasn't expectin
Helene "I cannot believe this rubbish is actually going to happen. What in the world is the Alpha thinking?" Mia hissed for the thousandth time. She hasn't stopped complaining about the fact that the Alpha agreed to let me fight for my opportunity to stay here, and I was sick and tired of hearing her try to criticize my choice and change my mind."He's doing exactly what I requested of him to do, so there's no need to fault him for accepting my offer, and there's also no need for you to keep talking about this because it's already a done deal and I will fight," I told her strictly, and she scoffed. "The problem isn't just that you are going to have to fight; it's also the fact that you have less than 48 hours to prepare yourself against three opponents that I can assure you are not easy to defeat. What gives you so much confidence and makes you think that you can beat them?" She asked, and I sighed. "I already said this earlier, but for your satisfaction, I am going to repeat myse
Brenda"You told me to remain patient, Mom, and I have tried my very best to keep calm, but I can't take this anymore! I can no longer deal with this, and I'm this close to losing my cool!" I vented over the phone in frustration, pouring out my anger at Mom since she was the only person I could talk to. "Stay calm and talk to me, Brenda. What's going on?" She asked in her usual calm tone, which was honestly starting to irritate me. I can't understand how she's able to keep calm in a situation like this, knowing very well that we're both screwed should anything go wrong with our plan. "You told me not to do anything about that bitch that showed up, mom. You told me to watch and observe her for the time being, and now I'm on the verge of losing control over Hunter because of how patient I've been. That stupid brat is trying to sneak up on me and take what's mine, and I won't allow it. I will not allow that no-good, disgusting nobody to take my man away from me," I blurted out. I tho
Helene This was my chance. My only chance. I let out a deep breath of satisfaction as soon as I was escorted out of my bedroom by the guards. I already asked them where they were taking me, and they informed me that I was headed to the training ground, where the Alpha and every other person that was going to witness the fight were already waiting. I honestly didn't know how to feel because, even though I'd been confident that I wouldn't lose to anyone no matter what, this territory was still very unfamiliar to me, and I was starting to doubt myself a little bit because I didn't have any clue as to what to expect. I could be walking into my own grave at the moment without even realizing it, and I could only hope that things went exactly as I wanted them to because I didn't have a plan B to work with. After what felt like a long walk, the guards and I finally arrived at the training ground, and saying that I was amazed would be an understatement. Back home, I was never really allo
Third-person POVHunter's eyes widened in shock at the sight of Helene in her wolf form. He couldn't believe that the wolf he was seeing in front of him was the same person he had called weak on several occasions and saying he was simply surprised would certainly be an understatement."Are you seeing what I'm seeing Hunter or am I already seeing things? Is that wolf supposed to be Helene?" Damon asked from beside Hunter, with a shocked and confused look on his face. They both had their eyes fixated on the grey-furred wolf in front of them, which was almost two times bigger than the opponent in front of her."To think you boys didn't take her seriously when she told you she wasn't to be messed with," Aurora hissed at them after noticing the shocked expressions on their faces. She was also quite surprised by the fact that Helene's wolf was almost the same size as her cousins and she couldn't help but be even more curious to know who Helene was."Isn't she bigger than me?" Damon blurted
