Alessia was already bored of sitting down in the room being idle so she decided to come out from the room. She got out of the bed, walking towards the door, she slowly opened the door and walked out of the room to the long hallway leading to two different staircases. There was no one in sight so she wondered if Marcus was actually living alone. She began peering at each door in the corridor hoping to find something about Marcus but it just appeared that the corridor was filled with huge portraits of men and women. Each portrait had a couple in it and she wondered who these people were to Marcus and why he had such paintings hanging on the walls of his house, none of them were any great celebrities that she could remember. Could they possibly be his ancestors?She had no idea who they were to him so she continued to wander round the long hallways. Alessia turned in the direction of the stairs and slid her right hand along the rail as she climbed it. Her only intention was to get to
Zelda walked into the house, her heart still pounding in her chest, shocked after what happened and confused as to the feelings she felt when looking at him. Those eyes! They made her bones feel weak.What was she talking about? This man seems to be far different from a normal human. A gasp escaped her lips as she remembered the electricity that ran in waves up her skin and how she was at loss of words just staring into his eyes that held her captive. She had never felt this way before, not even when she was with Marvin, her ex boyfriend.She walked into the kitchen and poured herself a glass of water, her hands trembling a bit. What kind of effect does this man have on her? He had saved her from getting into an accident in a blink of an eye, but how? She cannot quite understand how he did it, though. And, why did he have that effect on her?***It was a long wait for Alessia until midnight came, waiting for Marcus to maybe come check up on her after he had left her in a state of con
Alessia woke up to the sunlight sipping through the cracks of the black Italian curtains from a room. She sat up on the bed, looking around the room. She was only wearing a large black T-shirt, which she didn't own, and white underwear underneath.Who the hell changed her clothes?Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion as she tried to remember what happened last night, but as soon as the images flashed through her mind, her eyes widened in shock. She must have been too tired for her to speak and she has shared the same bed with a man, not any man but her two-faced boss.The door at the far end of the room opened and Marcus came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, but he had only a bath towel wrapped around his torso. Shocked to the core, Alessia gawked at his bare chest and his well-defined muscles. His hair that was meticulous during the day was now wet and messy on the forehead. She swallowed her saliva unconsciously, her eyes trailed down the sexy outline of his dripping chest
Alessia felt a pang of hurt in her chest, her mind still set on Louisa's words. She was actually pregnant by Marcus. " GET OFF ME! " She bellowed, hitting his chest. The anger was slowly gathering inside her like a storm and she desperately wanted to punch him, slap him and just do anything that could hurt him.She didn't know why she was suddenly reacting so jealousy and aggressively." What do you think you're doing? " He asked, as she placed her two palms on his chest, her eyes widening at the feeling of his heartbeats but she was so clouded by her anger that she didn't realise the increase of his heart beats in reaction to her touch.Just before he could move any closer, she pushed him away, very hard. With all the strength she could muster but he didn't budge nor move." How could you do this? " She didn't know when the words came out from her mouth but it was too late because he heard it." What exactly did I do to you? " He asked, a flash of guilt showed on his face and withi
Some Omegas that were willing to help with the preparation of Louisa's birthday party carried chairs to the dining room as they unrolled a red carpet. The Omegas all rushed off in different directions, doing one thing or another to get things ready. Despite the fact that Louisa isn't yet their Luna and she hadn't been marked and claimed by Alpha Marcus, she acted like one and they all wanted her birthday to be a grand one in her honour. Alpha's and some of their pack members from different packs were also invited so they could see if maybe they could find their mate in Marcus's pack. Meanwhile, Alessia sat in the room, taking a look from the window. She had seen some people going and coming into the house, all seemed busy but what she couldn't understand was why the house was surrounded by large woods, making it seem dark. The day flew so fast and night came. The main hall was decorated beautifully in gold, silver and black, just how Louisa wanted it. There was a red carpet for the g
Alessia's eyes fluttered open, as she sat up from the bed, since Marcus left the room and warned her not to come out she had been sitting idle, looking around the room, trying to see if she could find anything about him, she found some files relating to creating allies between some packs which she didn't understand. She spent her time reading the file until she slept off and now she was awake, to find out she was still the only one in the room.It has been hours since Marcus left and she wondered what he was still doing. She stood up from the bed and walked towards the window. The sky was already dark which means it was night.Her thoughts drifted to Zelda and wondered what she could be doing now. She must be really worried about her and might have called her phone. Her phone? Where is her phone?She could remember getting a voicemail from her mother four days ago, when she heard Martin's voice and then she had ran out of the house to her car. She had an accident.She remembered what
Alessia took some steps back, the sound of her heartbeat reaching her ear. Beads of sweat dropped down from her head to the ground.Terror grew impossibly in the eyes of Alessia as the wolf stalked towards her, showing her his canines.Alessia's feet felt so heavy to move. Why was she suddenly scared? Scared that this wolf might jump on her and kill her. Why wasn't she afraid when she saw the other big black wolf by the lake? Which surprisingly was even bigger than this one.The sudden growl of the wolf made her jump out from her thoughts. Forcing her feet backwards inch by inch, sweat rolling down her face due to how anxious she was becoming.Her eyes came in contact with the Wolf's eyes and it sneered, showing her it sharpened blood stained teeth.She dropped her stare, wishing that Marcus could just save her like he did the last time? He had saved her from that accident and she was grateful. Now isn't the time to think and be grateful but now is the time to run.She turned on her f
Leaving the pack house, Marcus quickly shifted into his wolf form and ran into the woods in search of Alessia. Draven sniffed the air for Alessia's scent and he could smell her fear right away. He didn't know how but he could somehow hear her calling out for him to save her and then he caught the stench of a rogue.Draven growled as it ran towards where it was coming from, following her scent all the way there.Draven stopped when he saw the rogue on top of Alessia in his wolf form. Alessia was terrified and Draven could smell her fear from miles away as she struggled with the rogue. Draven was furious that another was threatening, let alone touching his mate.The rogue was just about to sink his dirty looking teeth into her, when suddenly Draven growled, his Alpha aura coming out in waves and stopping the rogue in its tracks. The rogue lifted his head and looked back just as Draven lunged for him and knocked him off Alessia. Draven clawed at the rogue's side, ripping its flesh open
" It's an honour to have you visit here Luna, " Penelope bowed low in front of Alessia immediately she walked in. " Don't be too formal, Penelope. " Alessia chuckled. " We… " She was interrupted as a petite girl ran towards them, panting and sweating on the forehead. " Lady Penelope! Alexa! Alexa is about to give birth! " She exclaimed, her eyes bulging. " I'm coming, " She stated. " I'm coming with you. " Alessia announced before she could leave and Penelope turned to look at her, confusion visible on her face. " Of course, you can, My Luna. " The expression on Penelope's face changed to that of excitement. " Alexa would be honoured to have you by her side. " Alessia was in a good mood when she exited the delivery room an hour later. She could sense the women's camaraderie. It was genuine, not forced, and it was given freely. She had been the Luna of the Blood Water's pack for three years since her marriage to Marcus, and it was her responsibility to protect the pack emotional
In the spur of the moment, Kane hurriedly shoved himself in the direction of Alessia as the bullet stabbed into his flesh, causing the wolfsbane to stream through his veins. Although the wolfsbane didn't have the same effect on him as it did on Marcus, the toxin was still terrible and deadly, and it made him feel slightly weak. Marcus let out a growl as the wolfsbane burned through his body, and the three rogues who came with Louisa rushed towards him and hooked their teeth into Marcus's skin, drawing lines and lines of blood through the deeply pierce wounds. Marcus's pure determination was only able to maintain him alive for so long without anybody present to stem the flow of blood, and the terrible part was that if he moved an inch while trying to defend himself, he'd just make things worse. Louisa, on the other hand, grimaced as her glance shifted to his direction. " Stop to it!" She screamed, but no one heard her, and she was on her way to help Marcus when Tristan shot her. " I
Marcus' paws slamming against the ground were more menacing and thundering than anything else. Each of his thrusts forward was incredibly powerful, and his black eye erupted in rage. His mission was to track out Alessia and kill everybody who had harmed or touched her. The various scents that were beginning to disgustingly whip at his nose indicated that his ambitions were near to being realised. With nearly two hundred wolves thundering behind him, he continued fleeing through the woods.With so many scents, catching a whiff of his mate was becoming increasingly difficult. He detected the scents of both hunters and rogues, implying that some of them are likely to be in the vicinity of their hideout.Marcus increased his speed, running as quickly as he could, taking a long smell of every single scent he could find in the hopes of identifying one in particular, which he did, and it was the scent of his mate. It didn't take him long to see it was different from the others, and the thoug
" Alessia, take a seat and calm down. " For the umpteenth time in an hour, Zelda said. It had been an hour since Kane and Marcus had left, but Alessia still couldn't seem to get her mind off Marcus being in danger, despite her assurances that he would be fine. "At the very least, consider the child you're carrying; it doesn't need the stress you're causing it. Why don't you take a seat for a moment while I go get you some orange juice?"Alessia's mind was filled with worries of what could be happening where Marcus was and as a result, she couldn't stop herself from thinking too hard. " What if something happens to him? I have seen rogues before and they scare the shit out of me. "" Can you relax now? I doubt that he would be outnumbered since Kane's helping him. " Zelda said, walking towards the kitchen as Alessia followed behind her. " I think you're right. " She muttered as she leaned on the counter." Do you still want a glass of orange juice? "She shook her head. " No, I would
" Are you sure? " Marcus asked, leaning forward, his eyes void and as cold as ice. Alessia flinched by the sound of his voice. She furrowed her brows at the unexpected change of his countenance. It was normal for him to get angry but it seems there are more reasons for his anger." I... I'm absolutely sure. Whoever that man is it's totally inappropriate of him to spy on a couple having sex. " Alessia frowned, crossing her arms." You should have told me when you saw him. " Marcus said, gritting his teeth in anger." Are you blaming me for not telling you? We were both cut up in love making. " Alessia defended, scoffing at his actions."What do you mean, cut up? Do you know who that man is?" Marcus expressed his displeasure angrily. He was certain the rogues were involved, but how could it be? He didn't hear or smell them for some reason. His face twisted in a suspicious manner. Was it some kind of game they were playing? And to know that they weren't the only ones out to get him, and
Marcus stood up as Alessia shuffled out of his hold, he simply stood in place, his dark eyes glaring at nothing in particular as anger started to boil inside him. Who the hell was knocking on the door by this time? He had been so caught up in what he was doing that he failed to pick up the sound of an unwanted guest." I thought you said… " " I know what I said. " Marcus scowled, clenching his jaw. Why can't the person find the right time to come instead of cutting through what they were about to do? Marcus already had a freaking boner!" I hope you wouldn't go to the door like that. " She frowned, pointing at his naked body. " I can go out the way I like. Don't tell me you only want this to satisfy your eyes. " He cocked his head and smirked." Whatever, " She scoffed, rolling her eyes. It was his body anyway! But she couldn't help but fume in anger at another person seeing him like that. What if it's a woman at the door?" I'm sure I'm going to kill whoever is behind that door. "
" Aren't you going to go talk to him before he leaves? " Zelda asked Alessia, who kept pacing up and down in the living room, trying to think of what Marcus and Kane could be talking about. She was afraid that Marcus would be so angry with her for talking to Kane but what could she do? Kane was Zelda's boyfriend, yes. Zelda had explained their encounter to her and how he opened up to her about being a Vampire. Although Zelda didn't want to take things so fast but she couldn't help feeling the magnetic pull towards him. She just keeps feeling attracted to him that she can't help it anymore and decided they should just get into a relationship." I don't think I want to face him right now. He must hate me for talking to Kane and moreover I'm keeping away my pregnancy from him which I think isn't right. " " Yes, it isn't. I think it would be better for you to tell him that you're carrying his child. It would be better for you to inform him than for him to find out himself. " Zelda encour
" So you have a traitor in your pack, but how come?" Alessia muttered, her mind wandering to Louisa. Marcus' mind, on the other hand, was elsewhere, still thinking about what Draven had said. Could she be pregnant? Was he going to be a father? Despite the fact that she didn't appear to be. He was confident that if she was pregnant, she would inform him since he had the right to know. What if she really is? What would he do now?He adored children and had always desired a family, but now that his wishes seemed to be coming true, he wasn't feeling it." Did you hear what I said just now?" Alessia asked, tilting her head to face him." Are you keeping something from me?" Marcus asked a question that caught her off guard." What exactly do you mean?" She questioned, nervously swallowing her saliva while feigning oblivion." Is there anything I should be aware of?" He asked again, his gaze fixed on her."No, why did you ask?"" Nothing. " He muttered under his breath. " I'd drive you to yo
Marcus halted the car with a hand over his face, took a long breath, and opened his mouth to finally squeeze out an apology, but the unexpected look on her face stopped him."Alessia, please look at me. That was not my intention." Marcus quickly corrected his statements after realising what he had just said."No, I understand. You despise humans, including me. Even if they're wrong, you'll always choose your pack members over me." Alessia interrupted him."I swear it was only a slip of the tongue. None of those words were intended in any way. My pack, including you, is very important to me." He quickly shifted his gaze to her." How do I know for certain? How can I trust someone who doesn't believe in me? Marcus, you told me to leave. I begged you to trust me, but all you did was turn your back on me." Despite the fact that she knew Marcus must have heard her voice crack when she mentioned his lack of trust in her, she gulped and continued, ignoring the impulse to release a few tears
