The Alpha's Deceit CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
VENITA:A month flew by in a blur. I spent it endlessly searching for jobs and researching my bewildering condition. Sadly, all I found was a connection to some form of shifting, a knowledge that made me chuckle. Shifting into an animal? That seemed impossible. The internet obviously told a lot of meaningless stories. Times were tough, and the bills were piling up. I was running out of options for both Sasha and myself. No job prospects in sight. Landon and I hadn't crossed paths in this past month, not since the night we left his place. There was no reason for us to. He had found a way to have all my medication with their instructions delivered to me. During certain nights, an inexplicable longing for anything related to him would engulf me. Even catching a whiff of his scent would have been enough. However, I sternly reminded myself that he was now part of my past. "This job interview is a huge opportunity. Just gather your confidence and give it your best shot," Simeon cheered me
The Alpha's Deceit CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
LANDON:Even before she entered, I knew she was there. As her scent reached my nostrils and her footsteps and heartbeat became audible to my wolf's hearing, a smile crept across my face. I resisted the urge to immediately call her name and number, wanting to avoid rumors that she got the job unfairly. Over the last month, I deliberately stayed out of her affairs, observing from a distance. I saw how she tirelessly searched for a job. I had a plan in place, a plan to make her end up in my company. I arranged for all the jobs she interviewed for to reject her, even the ones she had a significant chance with. Then, I ensured someone informed her best friend about an opening in my company, knowing her friend would convey the news to her. It played out just as expected. Here she was, dressed appropriately in a navy blue shirt and black pants with loafers. A welcome change from the countless poorly dressed candidates I had to turn away because they were filthy and annoying. A smirk played
The Alpha's Deceit CHAPTER NINETEEN
VENITA:"Why did the teacher have to call you? And, why do they keep referring to you as her father? I don't appreciate that! I don't. She doesn't have a father and I want her to understand and accept that. It would be unfair to have someone come into our lives and stir up something we have been longing for only to disappear shortly," I fumed, snorting in between as tears blurred my vision. Landon drove like a man possessed, weaving through traffic with urgency like an ambulance on a life-saving mission. The worry written on his face was noticeable, and it struck me how much this situation mattered to him. It was like he was on the verge of losing something immensely precious. This level of concern was unusual, especially for someone who usually enjoyed every chance to showcase his commanding presence. I found myself releasing five minutes' worth of fear and frustration, ranting at the thin air and a little bit at Landon. But Landon remained uncharacteristically silent, focused on ge
The Alpha's Deceit CHAPTER TWENTY
LANDON:Venita didn't have to yield to my wishes; I couldn't bear seeing Sasha in pain. Soon enough, my team, under Dr. Grant's supervision, took charge. A little pressure on the so-called Dr. Valley, and he gave us the permission we needed. It was a breakthrough. I arranged for Sasha to be brought back to my residence, to the private hospital unit I had constructed within my home. Due to our unique nature; I had both human and werewolf staff. This ensured privacy and security, essential for situations when either myself or a member of my pack faced unforeseen circumstances. Dr. Grant was the primary overseer of all medical affairs, supported by a team of capable doctors. Among them, only one was a werewolf, and that was acceptable as long as they understood the importance of discretion and delivering excellent care.As we arrived home, Dr. Grant was already in action, directing the team to move Sasha from the ambulance to the facility. Machines were swiftly connected to monitor her.
The Alpha's Deceit CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
VENITA:I didn't need much convincing to go and rest. All the emotions that had burst out left my head pounding. Following a guard absentmindedly, I found myself in front of the guest room door. As soon as I stepped inside, I let my body slump to the floor, my face buried in my hands. Life seemed to always throw challenges at me without care whether I could handle them or not.After some time, I gathered a bit of energy and dragged myself to the bathroom. It was pristine, everything neatly arranged—the towels and toiletries, a sense of order in the chaos of my thoughts. A good shower could be a sanctuary, promising relief from the burdens of the day. The familiar sound of water rushing from the shower greeted my ears, and it felt like a refuge within those four walls, ready to wash away the grime of worry that clung to me. I turned the knob from cold to hot water, and the warm liquid streamed over me as if cleansing my soul from the day's burdens.The water felt like a gentle caress
The Alpha's Deceit CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
LANDON:“Now, to what do I owe this reunion, Family?” I asked. "Let's keep it short and simple. I have other important things to do." "Not even a hug, I'm excited to see Mum and Dad, or how did you guys survive that long in exile? Really, Son?" my mum asked. A sly bitch. The very source of my hatred for dubious women. My mum, Mrs. Ashley Kurt, at fifty-five years old, possessed a pair of striking green eyes - a feature I had inherited from her. Those eyes held an undeniable power, an intense gaze that seemed to run in our family. Tiny wrinkles clustered underneath her eyes, evidence of a life lived making calculated moves. Her face had a striking beauty, the kind that commanded attention and demanded respect. High cheekbones and a perfectly shaped nose added to her captivating charm. She spared no expense in maintaining her youthful appearance.Her tastes were extravagant, reflecting her love for luxury. From designer clothes to exquisite jewelry adorning her neck, she exuded class.
The Alpha's Deceit CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
LANDON:I looked around the room, meeting each of their gazes. "Now, who's got the courage to step forward and explain all the shady dealings that led to someone daring to decide who I'm going to marry?" Council member Azrael bowed respectfully before speaking, while seated on a couch near my parents, along with council member Dean. On the opposite side sat Alex, the representative from the Dark Knight pack. I'd deliberately selected this building as our meeting place, an extension of our headquarters in Nashville, to ensure maximum security. If any of them harbored ill intentions, I was ready to deal with them swiftly. "Council member Azrael, tell me why you think it's acceptable for someone to make decisions about my life and mate," I demanded."The council has reached an agreement with your parents to have Luna Mirage chosen as your wife," council member Azrael announced. I couldn't help but chuckle, shifting my gaze from one face to another. "Why should my own subordinates be th
The Alpha's Deceit CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
LANDON:"What? Why rush things so fast? We could take our time with the engagement; there's no need to hurry into the wedding," Michael pointed out. My temper flared. "How dare you question my decision? Are you the one getting married, or am I? Don't speak unless I've given you permission!" I snapped. "I'm sorry, Alpha Landon. I'll be more cautious," he apologized. "Good." I exhaled. "If that's all on the marriage subject, Alex, please take your leave. I'd like to have a private discussion with my pack members." "Yes, Alpha," Alex acknowledged, standing up and exchanging greetings before departing, guided by Cross. "Cross, have a seat," I instructed, and he promptly took the chair to my right. "Now, I'd like to hear a report on recent events in the pack," I stated, focusing my attention on Cross. While I spoke with him, I knew that Ashley and Michael were having a silent conversation through their mate bond. As much as I could eavesdrop, I chose not to delve into their thoughts.
