A heartbreaking stranger

The ride to the mall was smooth and therapeutic. The driver was stoic, but he was glancing my way through his side mirror. Maybe it was just his way to make sure I was comfortable and the ride wasn't bothersome.

The streets and roads we passed through were bubbling with people going about their different activities. I watched with glee, like I was some kind of prisoner who hadn't seen the outside world in years.

Finally, we pulled up at the mall. It was a big building with small stores clustered around it. The parking space was spacious and wide. It could fit in thousands of cars.

The car door opened, revealing the bodyguard who had ushered me into the car earlier on. He followed the car in front of my own vehicle. We had driven all through as a convoy.

When I came down, Anna was already out, waiting for me to come out of the car. She linked her hands around mine and dragged me into the mall, with two of the bodyguards following us behind.

The mall was packed full of people. I recoile

    Color washed away from Anna’s face; it was as if she had just seen a ghost; her eyes were hard and glued to the stranger.My heart was thumping, pain etched my heart, and thousands of thoughts ran through my head like it was a sports car on a highway.“W-w-When did you come back, Ashley?” Anna stuttered; her mouth was open, but no words came out.“I came back like a week ago; I've missed you so much,” said the stranger whose name I just found out as Ashley tugged Anna into her arms.Anna quickly detached herself from free-form Ashley’s grip; she failed woefully at trying to hide her emotions. I could see through her, and it was so obvious that there was more to who Ashley was and the effect that she was having on Anna.“Anna, she must be your friend. Hi, I'm Ashley, and you are?” Ashley suddenly realized I wasn't a ghost and extended her hands to me for a handshake. My eyes skimmed her hands that were racked in my direction, my temper went like a bat out of hell, and I resisted the im

    Today was grueling. Exhaustion clung to me like my second skin. The Alpha duties were overbearing; I had just sent Kendrick out to the border area to supervise the supplies I sent over to the Gammas.I was on my way to do a routine check on my department stores in the mall. I was in the company of my best friend, Beta Liam. This was my personal business, as it didn’t have anything to do with my Alpha duties.As I walked into the mall, a sea of eyes greeted me. People scurried towards me to get a glance at me; if not for my hefty body guards that surrounded me like pillars of fire, the people would have toppled over me. I couldn’t blame them; it was Alpha Scott’s effect.We were able to make it past the crowd, and I entered my space. It was a big electronics and gadget establishment. “Good day, Alpha Scott.” Damian, the manager of the shop, scampered out to greet me, bowing down a little as a sign of respect. The rest of the staff in the shop bowed in unison too."Hello, Damian, how is

    As I watched them, my wolf grew jealous at the fact that Liam was holding my mate that way.I was triggered to do something, and on impulse, I sauntered towards them and snatched them off of each of them.“Hey man, what the hell? I was just trying to help." Liam groaned; he felt the energy I used to peel him off Emma. I was sorry, but I wasn't sorry; he was literally feeding on my mate’s emotion, and my wolf wasn't happy about it. “I'm sorry, man," I told Liam, rubbing his shoulder to soothe and calm him down.Emma gasped in fear. Now that hurt me and struck me In the chest. I could see the hurt in her eyes clearly. Emma had an effect on me. I couldn't place what exactly; I didn't want any attachment whatsoever. She was just my accidental surrogate, and I wanted her to remain that way. It was proving to be hard because every day that passed, new emotions for her stirred up in my heart.I clasped Emma’s hand, clutching her by my side. I was about to lead her out, but Ashley stopped us

    I woke up to the sound of a loud alarm. "Dammit!" Scott cursed under his breath. He moved his hands around to get a hold of the blasted clock. He shut it down and snapped to face me, but I quickly closed my eyes and pretended to still be asleep.I counted thirty seconds before I peeled my eyes open again. Scott was seated in a swivel chair, backing me and the bed. He was shirtless in our well-lit bedroom, and the light was focused on his flawless skin, so I took the moment to admire my beautiful mate. He was typing frantically on his laptop while he muttered some words I could barely hear. Although he had an office in the building, he still created a mini-office in the room. Scott was a workaholic, and I feared that he didn't even have a proper, healthy rest routine.The events of before played in my head, and suddenly guilt washed down my emotions. I embarrassed myself, and Scott was mad at me earlier, so I didn't even know if I should face him. I let my emotions get the best of me,

    "Shhh, steady, I’m here for you,” Scott assured. Lust filled his eyes while he spoke to me.I nodded, and he grinned. He removed his hands from inside me and traced them up to my lower abdomen, and in a quick move, he ripped my pants out again.“Not again; I might as well not have underwear anymore,” I cried out.He leaned closely towards me, inching to my ears. He whispered, “I’ll get you all the lingerie money can buy."I rolled my eyes. “That would be when I have none left because you made an empty promise before.” I had to remind him just in case he forgot.“Say no more,” he replied. He grabbed my face as I was about to say another thing, and he brought his lips crashing on mine.He dominated my lips so much that I had no choice but to submit. I was not a pro at kissing, but I was learning from the best, which was my mate Scott.He inched in; his tongue was asking to gain entrance, and I allowed it in; he played with my tongue.He kissed me so passionately, having patience with my

    I just had the best time of my life; it never occurred to me that Emma could be experienced in giving a blow. Thinking about it made me crave more. I stood up from the bed to join Emma in the bathroom. I wondered why she was still not yet out; it’s been far too long since she went in. As I moved into the luxurious bathroom, I was expecting to see her in the shower, but she wasn't there, so I scanned the bathroom until my eyes were immediately drawn to the large bathtub by the corner of the bathroom.Her silhouette was glaring through the steam, her long hair falling over her shoulders, and I felt my heart beginning to thump faster at the sight of her sexy figure in the tub.I began to sense my body come alive as I approached the bathtub. My phallus was slightly hard for her. I dropped into the water, opposite her; my back was resting by the tub, and for a moment, I just gazed at her. I could feel the yearning for her in my body, and as our eyes jammed, I knew I wanted her. I dragged

    The rays of sunlight hit me, which prompted me to wake up. I laid in bed, staring up at the ceiling. I was drained; I was stuck with the events of the previous day over and over in my head. I couldn't believe the whole connection I felt yesterday with Scott; it was on a whole new level. I knew he felt the connection too. I closed my eyes and tried to reminisce about the moment. But I couldn't put away the feeling of longing. I had never been this far away from my mom and little brother before, so I felt like I was drifting away from them and losing the connection.I stood up slowly, still feeling groggy from my restless sleep the night before. I sat up in bed and rubbed my eyes off any remaining sleep. I heard sounds echoing from beneath, and I understood that suggested the rest of the pack was already up and doing.I moved out of bed and put on a dress. I was still making an effort to get used to this place, so everything still felt odd and foreign. I hopped quietly down the stairs,

    As I stood in front of the mirror, buttoning my dress shirt, Emma sat on the bed behind me. She was whistling softly,but I could tell the whistle was saying so many messages. Her face was sad, and I felt a pang of guilt as I watched her keenly through the mirror. I understood that I was hurting her by going to this event with Ashley, but I couldn't say no to it because it involved the pack, just like my mother had said.When I agreed to go to the event at the dining table, her face and mood changed instantly. She had eaten her food quickly and quietly. She didn't say anything to anybody and just went upstairs. I turned to look at her, and I could see the gloom in her eyes. I wanted to reach out to her and tell her that I was sorry, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I didn't want her to know I was affected by her moodiness. I just couldn't start anything serious with her.I took a deep breath, and I spun back to the mirror. I made an effort to focus on getting ready for the event,

    The wedding day.I have imagined several ways that my wedding was going to take place. Fairytales that was what I called them. The pink lilies lined up the walks, I even imagined my dog walking down the aisle with me bearing the rings with the revered flower crown adorning his or her furry head. It was going to be a white wedding where everyone wore white same as the decorations.But never in Gods green earth did I imagine that I was going to have a double wedding with the man of my heart and sister from another mother. But more importantly, that Theresa was going to walk beside my mother as they accompany my son and I down the aisle to handle me over to Scott as his wife and Luna.It was my dream come true with a touch of radical goodness. I could never stop my face from gleaming with joy merely looking at Scott standing there in his white tuxedo his face a mask of angelic warmth. And on the other side was Liam and his newly-wedded bride, Aan, their hands entangled as they welcomed

    We raced down the hall, our lies having been perfectly constructed. We had all agreed to tell Theresa that I woke up with a terrible headache and was only coming down for the training out of respect for her. It was a lot getting Liam to flow with the lies but he had agreed anyway. However as we neared the stairs, a loud scream tore through the house from down the stairs. "What's that?" Anna asked, increasing her step that soon turned to a run. We joined in, taking the stairs two at a time. The loud voices was coming from the direction of the Omegas quarters, the men's quarters precisely. We arrived in time to encounter Theresa deliver a well-aimed slap on Ashley's face who bent over bawling her eyes out."Mom!" Anna went to block her as she lifted her hand to give her another slap. "What is going on here?"Theresa covered her face with her right hand, her left in her waist. Her very schooled elegance was gone to be replaced by an infuriated expression. She wagged her forefinger at A

    Wandering aimlessly helped me to learn a lot in one night, particularly the vastness of the mansion. I strode to the back of the house where the training ground was located, bending a few corners before I saw it stretched endlessly over the grassy field, with different objects constructed at diverse positions for training. I was stupefied for once, all the anger in me dissipating to be replaced by awe. I went to the Wolf leaper standing at the crossbar and touched it, taking note of the rough exterior. My eyes caught the flicker of the power tester that is used to train young pups to discover their inner strength. It sent jolts of longing wafting through me, wishing I had this chance growing up. Maybe it's not too late. I just need to learn now. For myself, not for anyone or anything. This is just me now against the world, whether I like it or not. It has always been. No one cares about me and if I am waiting for someone to, I might end up dying faster than I had anticipated. The wo

    He cocked his brow to the top of his head, picked up the glass containing a brown substance on the table I hadn't noticed till now, and took a long swig as if I hadn't just dropped a bombshell on him. Is that how he is going to react? No fret, no fury? Nothing? My heart broke. So he truly wanted it? He brought me from my pack to this place for nothing. Just to mock our bond and destroy something so sanctified that the goddess has ordered. The tears that has been threatening were trying to force their way out, but I quickly looked down and willed it back. I am not going to cry for any man anymore. I had already thought about this and know it's for the best. I would rather be without a mate than with one who didn't want me for me but because I might have managed to win a competition to become his trophy Luna.Squaring my shoulders I looked up, expecting him to reject me immediately so I can go on to ask him for a favor concerning my housing, but he wasn't upcoming with it. He was stil

    It was raining heavily when we came back from the training camp. Just as I envisaged, Nathan dropped me off in front of the house and told me he was going back to the border to see how things were going there.I wanted to beg him not to leave but knowing he has a duty to uphold which would be unfair of me to stop him, I simply nodded and accepted my ugly fate before sneaking my way into the house. I rushed upstairs two at a time, aiming to reach my room on time and hide away, hoping the Alpha doesn't figure out that I have returned from my outing. I succeeded, went to take my bath, and changed into the evening gown that I found hanging on the vanity chair_ meaning Anna had come to my room to check on me. I felt bad I haven’t spent much time with her recently and wished I could. But I needed this training so badly. I needed to become better. I needed to focus on something else that didn’t have to do with Scott or his mother’s stupid idea of competing for the Luna position. I was ab

    "A proper Luna is always mindful of the time, especially one that wishes to have the keep up and running effectively with avoidable hitchbacks..." The statement from Theresa was cut to the chase and aimed at me. I flinched back, still dawdling by the door. What in moon's name possessed me to wake up this late? It was one thing that I wasn't favored much in this crowd, then I have to pull off this stunt of bringing the attention to myself. Now Theresa would think I was being deviant and irresponsible while Ashley is the serious one. "Get seated, Emma. I won't tolerate this foolhardy behavior next time. Be warned," she warned and I walked to the nearest couch to plop down."Luna, I thought she would be punished? Why should she be here__""Keep quiet, Ashley..." I caught the cold regard she gave Ashley who blanched in her couch and quickly recovered, and when theresa looked away, gave me a condescending bird's eye.l only returned her gaze, with a soft one, within me having a good lau

    I stayed with my son for a while plying with him while the party went on downstairs. Part of me bought Scott was going to come after me due to the manner I left the party. That was part of me, but the other part knew he wouldn’t. After all I asked him to give me time. It was disappointing he wasn’t fighting for me. Taylor soon fell asleep and I kissed his forehead and decided to go to my room and pick my planning book. I still had a lot to do. When I was walking down the hall, something got my attention. A man.Like a drop-dead gorgeous man got my attention. He stepped into the hall, the automatic doors sliding close as he came in, his eyes washing over me in a sinful way. A very sinful way.I stood there one of my feet on the stairwell, the other one down as I stared at the man as he drew close, my eyes taking in every one of his adorable features His shoulders were broad, more like herculean massive_ fitted into a three-piece dark suit, his face stretched in what I would term a

    “I thought you said you forgave me?” Those were his words the last time we met after the fight. “Yes, but I need time,” I had replied. “You don’t expect me to just believe you when you said the child she carries is not yours. I need time, Scott.” I didn’t look him in the eyes because I didn’t want to fall for his charm. “How much time,” he’s asked.“As much time as possible.” “I will be away the .” I looked up at him. He shrugged. “I can’t bear living under the same roof with you and not being able to come close to you, Emma. I can’t.”I nodded and looked away. “And our son?”“He would be fine. He is an Alpha.” the words nudged at my heart. Tears pulled in my eyes which I forced myself to keep in. I had to do this for me. “Thank you.”“For what?” He queried.“For allowing your sister and Liam to be together.”“I did it for you.”“I know,” I nearly went to him then. “Which is why I am grateful . They’re meant to be.”Those were our last words. And since then, all I want now is to be

    "Did you hear anything I just said?" I jolted back from my thought and blinked up at the fair-haired woman, realizing I had drifted while she was still talking, "Huh?" the words flew out before I could stop them. My eyes dilated in chagrin, one of my hands flew to my mouth before rapidly flapping down on my lap, my eyes scooting between her and Ashley who had a repellent look on her face at me.Somehow since the horrendous announcement, the packhouse has become her second home. Urgh!To be honest ever since she dropped the bombshell about the pregnancy and knowing that that would determine the Luna position, I lost concentration. I have been raking my head what in the world this is about. Maybe their own sophisticated method of depriving me of something that the kind goddess has so naturally handed to me.Who competes to be with their mate? And even if you have to compete, it now has to be against someone that come the next life, you ain't likely to win against. Great! What did I te
