The Alpha's Deceit CHAPTER FIFTY-TWO
VENITA:I carefully treaded through the house, my heart pounding so loudly it felt like it might escape my chest. The serendipitous emptiness of the house was in my favor, and with Sasha playing outside, my mission was shrouded in secrecy. I needed to find Landon, and I was willing to take the risk to get what I wanted.The inexplicable pull in my chest led me to Landon's office. I stood at the door, ready to knock and confront him with my intentions, when I overheard a conversation that made me pause. It was Landon's voice, and I felt my heart sink as I listened."I can't be there tonight. Keep my side of the bed warm. Don't miss me too much," he said.My world crumbled, and I ran to find a hiding spot, seeking refuge in the kitchen. Tears welled up in my eyes, and I couldn't help but question my actions. Rosalie had been right all along. What had possessed me to doll myself up, trying to seduce a man who hadn't shown an ounce of interest in me? He had reiterated countless times that

LANDON:I was certain that it was Sasha who had slashed the other boy. It was a clear sign that we needed to make some changes for her. Enrolling her in a different school, one that could accommodate shifters, seemed like the best solution. She needed proper training on how to control her emotions, her insatiable hunger, and her burgeoning strength. The incident with the boy could have escalated to something far worse. To top it off, we couldn't risk the news of her true nature getting out. I had orchestrated the scenario at the school, manipulating it to our advantage. The school had issued an apology to Sasha, shifting the attention away from her involvement and blaming it on a possible animal attack. It was a risky move, but one that I hoped would divert any prying eyes. Furthermore, I had tasked Cross to ensure that any evidence or records related to the incident would be carefully erased. I needed to ensure Sasha's safety and the safety of others around her. This was just the be

VENITA:Since I would be away for a few days, I asked Simeon to take care of Sasha. She kindly agreed, and I began packing some of Sasha's belongings. After work that day, I took her over to Simeon's place.Speaking of that fateful Tuesday at work, it was nothing short of awful. As soon as I stepped foot into the Crescent Corporation building, I became the center of attention. Whispers and hushed conversations followed me everywhere I went, and I could feel the weight of curious and judgmental eyes on me.As I walked through the office, a group of girls I passed by couldn't help themselves. They pointed in my direction, their voices carrying their conversation to my ears. "Yeah, right. She's the one that Rosalie fired on her first day here."The day had barely started, but I was already yearning for it to be over. The constant stares and hushed discussions were making me uncomfortable, and I wished for a way to make them stop. It was apparent that I was going to have a reputation as t

VENITA:Brighton promptly steered the car through the bustling streets of Nashville, taking me to the private hangar where a sleek jet was fueled and ready for takeoff. Jason greeted me on the tarmac, but there was no sign of Landon, which, in all honesty, was probably a good thing. After what had transpired between us, I wasn't sure I could keep from blushing when we came face to face, so I resorted to avoiding him as best as I could.The Crescent corporate jet matched the extravagance of its owner. Pristine white on the outside with the gray Crescent Cooperation logo on the tail and the name "Kurt" emblazoned in bold letters; the interior was adorned with expensive leathers and exotic woods. Eight passenger seats were arranged in sets of two facing each other, with a small table between them. I buckled in across from Jason for the fourteen hours to Shanghai. Chase Timothy occupied the seat across from Zenith, and Miranda settled into the seat directly behind Peter. It occurred to me
The Alpha's Deceit CHAPTER FIFTY-SIX
VENITA:The flight attendant, an exquisite sandy-brown-haired beauty who seemed straight out of a magazine, placed a hand on Jason's shoulder and assured him of her excellent service. I couldn't help but notice the predatory look in his eyes as he accepted her gesture. He clearly wasn't pleased with the attention, but to be honest, I was relieved. The last thing I wanted was any kind of closeness with Jason, as I sensed trouble brewing around him.The atmosphere in the cabin was tense, and it felt like all eyes were on me. Zenith and Chase sported matching frowns, disapproving of the situation. If Miranda's eyes could shoot laser beams, I'm pretty sure they would have already burned through my forehead. On the other hand, Peter and Edwin were the only ones who didn't seem particularly bothered by the situation. Edwin had dozed off, seeking solace in sleep, while Peter was engrossed in the pages of a fashion magazine. I was inclined to think, "To hell with those judgmental eyes." I had

LANDON:The presence of Jason had always agitated my wolf, and it couldn't be more obvious. My wolf despised him just as I did. His audacity to be at ease around Venita was infuriating. He should be on edge, not comfortably near her.I observed Venita closely as she nervously moistened her lips. She was well aware that all eyes, including mine, were fixated on her. I could practically sense the internal struggle within her, torn between telling me what I wanted to hear and voicing her genuine thoughts. Venita wasn't one to be easily swayed, and I anticipated that she would speak her mind.Amidst this inner conflict, my mind wandered into more illicit territory. I imagined her in fiery red lingerie, her body pressed against various surfaces on the private jet, consumed by a fervent desire to make her mine. Thoughts of the cockpit being the perfect setting to claim her, her legs spread wide, her breasts on display, filled my imagination.Her abrupt throat clearing drew my attention back
The Alpha's Deceit CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT
VENITA:The tiny bathroom of the jet felt claustrophobic as I locked myself inside, desperate to escape the judgmental stares and whispers of my colleagues. The disapproving glances felt like daggers, each one piercing my skin as if they were trying to tear me apart.I could almost picture their hands morphing into grotesque claws, ready to rip my flesh apart with every step I took. The anxiety building within me was unbearable, and I needed a way out, even if it was just for a few moments.The faucet beckoned me with its soothing sound of running water. I turned it on, and the noise became a comforting white noise, drowning out the world beyond the bathroom door. I was hoping the sound would keep my cries muffled, so they wouldn't echo beyond these walls.The memories and thoughts that had triggered this panic attack haunted me. The pain from their judgment had transported me back to a time when I was truly alone, facing my darkest fears.I couldn't bear the thought of coming out of
The Alpha's Deceit CHAPTER FIFTY-NINE
VENITA:I stood in front of the bathroom mirror, my hands trembling as I tried to regain composure. The ordeal I had just been through had left me emotionally drained, and I desperately needed to pull myself together. I examined my reflection closely, attempting to fix my disheveled appearance.My satin green top, once pristine, was now damp with tears. My eyes were red and swollen, an unacceptable look that betrayed the composed image I was expected to present. I was a mess.As I wiped away the remnants of my breakdown, I suddenly heard buzzes that sounded like a light bulb malfunctioning and then low whispers followed. It was so close as if I sat in the midst of those murmuring. Landon's voice was the next thing I heard and it was clear as if he was outside the bathroom. Jason wanted to come after me but Landon sounded strangely nonchalant, which left me baffled. Did he hold some deep-seated grudge against me? Was that the reason for his apparent indifference to my distress?What pu
