The Alpha's Deceit CHAPTER SEVENTY-ONE
VENITA:As anger fueled my steps, the distance to my destination seemed to shrink. I stormed ahead, consumed by disappointment in myself for allowing Landon's actions to diminish my sense of importance. The pitfalls of relationships often stem from falling in love with potential rather than the reality of the person. The Landon I had envisioned in my mind was a projection of potential, not the true reality. Lost in my thoughts, I failed to pay attention to my surroundings and collided with a stunning redhead, whose athletic prowess became evident as she effortlessly prevented herself from falling. In a remarkable display of balance, she placed her hand around my hips, steadying both of us. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry," I said, regaining my composure. Fortunately, my black strappy heels, adorned with a delicate butterfly design, held up, and I maintained an appearance of poise. "It's okay, beautiful," she responded, offering a genuine smile as if we were long-time friends. "Only one thing

VENITA:We were on our fourth shot. Believe me, whatever was in this tiny ass glass was so powerful that the room spun. I was fighting hard to stay in control and not pass out. I was still very much conscious of what was happening, in total acknowledgement of my surroundings too. Mirage laughed at every little joke. It felt nice to see her happy and carefree.While my eyes still scanned the countless beautiful women who hung to the arms of all types of men like a handbag, Mirage surprised me by taking center stage and began dancing to the upbeat played by the DJ. 'Ani't Your Mama' by Jennifer Lopez never sounded amazing until I saw a beauty like Mirage seriously throwing her back out to the beat."Come join me," she serenaded.It didn't sound like a bit of bad advice as I had been sitting and nodding to the beat. I shot to my feet and joined her, both of us yelling the lyrics at the top of our lungs while dancing and occasionally returning to the table to take more shots. After a brie

LANDON:Her full lap was on display, looking tempting. My attention was briefly distracted when I perceived the scent of a member of Thronesman's pack. I scanned the area but didn't find any of his wolves there. No one would be out of their territory without informing me first since I was now heading three major packs. It put me at the top hierarchy of a leading Alpha. Disrespecting protocol meant the wolf in question was looking for trouble. But again, I didn't see anyone.Skyrael, renowned for its stringent restrictions on entry, was an enclave of elites. The fact that someone had managed to breach its confines surprised me. Perhaps Venita's association with my company had granted her access, or she had an her own charm to navigate the exclusive entry. Whatever the reason, I harbored a distaste for the infiltration of shifters into a place that reeked of their kind. The entanglement with wolves was something I aimed to avoid. Amidst the sea of elites, it was easy to spot Venita. Yet

LANDON: Thursday morning arrived, the room bathed in the gentle glow of dawn. Seated at the foot of Venita's bed, I busied myself lacing my sneakers. Sneaking out of her room earlier, I'd returned to my suite for a quick shower and change before the day unfolded. "Morning," I greeted with a smile, leaning over to plant a soft kiss on Venita's cheek.Last night was one of my best. For years, I have never slept next to anyone because I wasn't much into body contact. Nonetheless, Venita got me all the time. Her body was as cool as ice, making my warm body relaxed. Every second I tried to turn away, she aggressively grumbled, taking my hand to place over her body. Her breath did smell of drinks but I didn't mind. She chuckled, cooled and smiled at intervals throughout the night like a baby having a playful dream.She froze like a sculpture before responding. "Morning," she sighed, reaching for her phone to check the time. "Damn, is it Thursday already?" I chuckled, "I'm afraid so."Her

VENITA:As soon as Sasha spotted me, she engulfed me in a hug, eagerly sharing every detail of what happened in my absence. "I missed you too," I kissed her forehead, cherishing the familiar scent of her hair. "Girl, don't forget my nanny dues," Simeon teased, pulling me into a hug as well. "Thank you," I replied, grateful for the warmth of friendship. "No worries. It was a much-needed bonding time with her best friend, unlike mine who left me to vacation. Look at how radiant you look. I can't wait for you to spill the tea about your time in Shanghai," she said, wiggling in excitement. I chuckled, patting her back. Gathering Sasha's belongings, I led her out of the house, noticing Simeon's parents were out. Their enduring love always warmed my heart. "Simeon, I have to run. We'll plan a girl's day or night out soon," I explained, holding the door open for Sasha. Sasha darted out eagerly. "See you, beautiful. If that dude messes up, put me on speed dial, and I'll deal with him,"

LANDON: The haunting howls of Venita reached me, an agonizing heightened wave of pain that stirred unrest within me. My initial intent was not to return home for any reason, especially since I had been preparing to go to my pack for the first time in years. The pull toward my pack felt undeniable, a strong force that hinted at a different full moon experience. While concern for Venita remained, the priority rested with my pack, particularly the new wolves set to undergo their inaugural transformation. I hadn't seen the situation of things, and it was only right I went following the attack we suffered. I feel I have been focused on every other thing, neglecting my primary duty as an Alpha to a prestigious pack.I had Cross gather supplies essential for pain, food, and random gifts. I don't know why I went for those nonetheless. It made me feel good. My pack was rich. Had everything anyone could desire. Lived in luxury. We were all around prosperous. Don't even get me started on the har

LANDON: When we stepped outside, the cool night air caused her fur to rise. In the moonlight, Venita looked every bit like the magnificent creature I had glimpsed in my dream back in Shanghai. She seemed to embrace her newfound confusion, jumping up and down on her paws. Sprinting from one end to the other, I found myself catching up with her each time. She was like a kid with a new toy, recklessly enjoying the freedom of her wolf form. "What are mine? I mean, I know. But, am I really a wolf?" she asked, her excitement overflowing. Without waiting for an answer, she began howling, a spontaneous expression of joy pulsating through her. Her howls echoed in the night until she strained her voice. I was happy that she embraced this aspect of herself, finding joy rather than fear. Yet, a lingering worry tugged at me. What if she had noticed she was surrounded and about to be shot at if I didn't intervene? I had Cross send Greg back to the pack house for security since I was with him. I n

LANDON: With each cautious step, I surveyed the area, ensuring our safety as we traversed the woods. We remained in our wolf forms, a decision made to heighten our senses and evade any potential threats. My focus was on guiding us back to my house; a place where I could better control the environment and protect us from the unknown danger that lurked in the shadows. The moonlit path was both our ally and enemy, casting silvery beams that illuminated our way but also left us exposed to prying eyes. I traded glances with Venita, a silent exchange of reassurance as we moved with a heightened awareness of our surroundings. Leaves slapped against our furs which bristled in the night air, dust filling our nostrils from each paw that undug some part of the earth we trod on. Approaching the turn in the woods that led back to my house, a subtle bolt of a sense of security hung in the air. It was a crucial juncture, a point where our path took a different, ominous turn. As we neared the fami

VENITA:Things with Landon have been...different. Although having him back changed a lot of things, for one, Sasha starting to talk again, he zoned off most of the time. Each time he was in that state and I found him, he quickly recollected himself. As much as I would love more vacation days, Landon didn't allow that. He went back to work after beating the crap out of Jason and handing him over to the cops. Landon, as always didn't let any of his betrayers go free. He rounded them up and imprisoned them while he thought of a suitable punishment. Surprisingly, he submitted himself to his pack. More like asking for forgiveness. Something Landon Kurt hardly did. It felt great seeing this side of him. He was more level-headed. I guess that was what happens when you have a near-death experience.Here he was dragging me to an unknown location. It was so beautiful to have him back."Just tell me where we are headed. This blindfold is killing me," I nagged."We're here," he announced almost
The Alpha's Deceit CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FOUR
LANDON:"Wow," I exclaimed as I made another mark on the glass, making know that I had been here for exactly ninety-one days. I have run out of everything and even hibernating wouldn't help. I threw a disgusted glance over what had served me for the last ninety-one days. Nothing was left of it except bones which were beginning to dry up.When I went back to the building, Dr. Grant had lazily gotten up, dragging me to the box that held Venita. He shut it before I could fight him off and the next thing I saw was a shockwave bringing everything down and burying us in the ground. Apparently, the box had been designed also to withstand such a blast, and around the building had a ticking bomb and a manual controller which the sicko head had activated."Of there's no evidence, then, they won't have a case," he coughed out before smiling. "My work is done. Now, I can die in peace. However, more of us will stand up in generations to come to fight against your kind. Our story would be told," he
The Alpha's Deceit CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-THREE
VENITA:Before I left for my appointment with Jason, I headed to Landon's to check on things. Yes, Lanson's house. I took a few of our things and moved back there since it gave me a sense of security. With the situation, Sasha was in no shape to go back to school so, she only had her therapist and Cross training her. Cross strengthened security as he wouldn't take chances having almost died."She still hasn't said anything?" I asked Cross. Mr. Grumpy was more kind and interactive with me after he woke up from a two-day coma."She hasn't. Should we get a speech specialist to make sure they didn't do anything to her vocal cords back at that crazy lab?" He was sweaty, panting, having just come out from their last session which lasted an hour.Running my hand through my hair, "I think it's more of a psychological damage than physical because she spoke to me when we came out of the lab. She only stopped speaking once she was taken to the hospital," I explained."Let's give it time. The who
The Alpha's Deceit CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-TWO
VENITA:Three months after...It has been exactly three months since we got rescued. Three months of grief and loneliness. Three months of having to stay strong not knowing if Landon was out there somewhere. I pray he was. My heart shattered every time I thought about him. My nights were terrible whenever memories of the blast came wrapping arms around me.I stepped up in so many things despite my loss. As the doctors said, my pup couldn't be saved. For the first month, all I did was lie down and cry. I refused to eat or even entertain communication of any sort. I pushed my limits, forcing Leah to search in every corner within me if my pup was still there. She always apologized that it wasn't. I lost my pup and then Landon. Things would never be the same.Since I was wheeled to the emergency room and all attempts to save my pup failed, Sasha has refused to speak. She was assigned to a therapist whom she wouldn't say a word to. I kept in touch with Peter and the companies, he was the a

VENITA:Barely able to get off the floor and into the car to drive off despite my lightheadedness, the building that my mate had run back into went up in flames.Boom! was the shattering sound that pierced my ear and sent our car off balance. I couldn't comprehend what had happened. The whole building came down. There was no way anything could come out of that place.I held Sasha by the waist as she cried out, "Daddy!" unbuckling her seatbelt, in an attempt to run out of the car. We had somehow ended up close to a massive gate. Despite the explosion that shook the entire place, we were now facing uncountable angry-looking masked men taking powerful strides toward us.This was finally the end for us. Cross was out and Sasha couldn't take on those countless guys for sure. As for myself, I was in no shape to help in any way. If only a miracle could save us.The world erupted in chaos as the deafening sound of another blast echoed through the air. Sasha, Cross, and I were still confined

LANDON:Even though we were lost in battle, Sean was, for the first time making plans about my future. It was funny because it didn't care whether I would survive this moment to fulfill that expectation. All it wanted was clarity of the path ahead."Sean shut the fuck up and stop whining in my head. I need to concentrate. You're not even helping as I'm fighting with my human strength. So, please, zip it!" I scolded, punching another guy in his stomach."Don't shush me. If I hadn't answered you, you wouldn't even have seen the human strength to fight with. So, be grateful to me," he retorted.Meanwhile, Sasha was leading the frontline of battle. She was fierce and intimidating. She hadn't fully transformed and still exacted such power. If she fully transforms, she was going to be a war goddess. Yet, I knew that I was going to get her all the help that she needed. There was no way I was going to make my baby comfortable with this life of chaos. She was a princess and her mother, a Queen
The Alpha's Deceit CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-NINE
VENITA:The scorching pain by the side of my stomach was unbearable. I had no clue what had been done to me. Oh, my baby. My pup. Forgive me for being such a weakling. I couldn't muster the strength to save any of us.While I battled with my thoughts, an unsuspecting commotion broke out. "Sasha!" I called out. My daughter had been injected with something. If the substance was making Dr. Grant panic, I had every reason to be beyond worried.In seconds, Landon had snapped the rest of his binds with his already-freed hand. He crouched, carrying Sasha in his hands. I saw his mouth moving but couldn't hear him. The box was soundproof. His expression went pale and I saw his veins pulsing from anger.Before Thronesman could say another word, Landon dropped Sasha onto the floor choking Thronesman. He began to punch him uncontrollably on his torso before throwing him at the group of doctors, shivering in a corner.Grant shot me a displeased look, dropping everything he was doing to step out
The Alpha's Deceit CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-EIGHT
LANDON:Seeing your whole world in boxes, reduced to nothing kills a part of you. Despite constantly falling unconscious because of what was being done to me, I reached deep within me to a place of darkness to keep me awake. When I looked around, I growled so loud that the doctor who had been injecting something into me cowered in fear. "You love the beautiful sight, don't you?" Thronesman's annoying voice rang in my ears, causing me to glare at him. I scratched and clawed toward his direction but the binds kept me in place.My mate and daughter were being tortured in my presence along with my pup who I wasn't sure was still okay yet, I couldn't lift a finger. Was this really the end for me? I always thought my death would have witnessed a happier ending compared to this sad and condescending one."Don't worry, I'm not a monster to hurt a child. Moreover, we need her more than we need you two," Thronesman informed me. The was a clicking sound and Sasha bonded on a crucifix with barbe
The Alpha's Deceit CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-SEVEN
VENITA:When I woke up, my head felt heavy and my throat felt dry. Trying to open my eyes, the light blinded me and I winced in discomfort. The room smelled like chemicals and I couldn't even move myself. Blinking hard, I started to feel my body once more. There were beeping machines and a hand on my body like something was being drawn on it.I heard a grunt almost directly above me as someone freed one of my wrists to use a hand to tightly grip my hair. I winced from the sudden pain and reached to try and pry the hand away when another hand grabbed my wrist and held it against the bed. “I’m almost done,” a low, rapturous voice said. “What’s going on?” I asked suddenly feeling a steady, constant pressure against my stomach. The hand that was burrowed into a fist of my hair tightened. A few more thrusts followed, and then the sound of a disappointed, loud moan, punctuated by something warm started to run down the side of my stomach. The hands released my hair and wrist, and I quickly s
