THE LOVE OF A SISTERXavier could be seen laid on the bed, looking as still as ever. His face is pale and there wasn't any movement whatsoever from him. The pack doctor stood by the edge of the bed, staring worriedly at him as he stared down at the stethoscope in his hand."How's he now?" Oliver and Xavier walked into the room and questioned, causing the pack doctor to cast his eyes towards the door and at them.The pack doctor kept mute as he looked back at Xavier's body and sighed out. "I don't know but the amount he was drugged with seems to be quiet a lot and by the slow responding of him to the treatment, it might take few days for him to wake up." The doctor finally lets out, not able to look at any of the Alphas.Geneva speechlessly closed the door behind him. He's been noticing how recently Xavier has been moody and if there's anything he expected, him going over to a party wasn't any part of it.Just by the look of things, he might wake up and not even remember how everythi
RELIEVED BUT BITTEREDFour days later...Geneva battered his lashes, his fingers moving against the bedsheets as his face scrunched up in pain, whilst rolling about the bed. When he came to a stop, he let open his eyes and let it scrutinize the room.As he made to sit upright, he internally groaned at the pain sparking the joints of his collarbone. Before he could try to fathom what exactly had gone wrong with him, the door to his room was opened and a maid came in; followed by Savannah."Oh goodness, the Alpha is awake!" The maid abruptly stopped furthering into the room upon the sight of Xavier. Her face glittered as turned around towards Savannah and cooed, overjoyed."Yes, he is." Savannah who obviously wasn't expecting to meet him awake stated in agreement, nodding her head with curiosity.As much as she could remember, Xavier had been in the state of unconsciousness for the past four days and since the day the pack doctor made mention of was a minimum of three days, they had all
WHAT WAS THAT SOUND?"Where are those two pets off to?"They both turned towards each and their eyes widened a huge fraction at the same time upon hearing their voice. Savannah let out a sigh before nodding at her and signalling for them to turn around."You sure?" Madonna raised a brow and questioned, asking for a repetition. When Savannah nodded yet again, they both turned around and steadily walked into the dinning hall where they're seated; facing each other."What?" Geneva glowered at Savannah when she came closer than needed to his direction. He dumbed his fork unto his plate and rolled his eyes."We thought of going out and getting some things done and in short, we'll be back in a while." Madonna told them as Savannah moved back from Geneva, standing closer to her friend."I suggest you both go inside. No one is going out today." Oliver said in between sipping from his glass of wine, his voice leaving no room for an argument.As soon as that was heard, Madonna stormed out of th
SNEAKING BACK INSIDE"Xavier is turning his room upside-down. And I just need to... Where the fuck is Madonna?!"And that was when their eyes widened in realization; at the same time. Their gaze went up the hallway and straight at Savannah's room at sight before Oliver suddenly burst into laughter."And what does that have to do with Xavier? Is she a doctor or what that you need her to come attend to Xavier who's currently throwing a tantrum?" He curiously wagged a brow at him, not seeming to get the equation.Geneva sighed and reluctantly stopped, setting his eyes straight on him."I just feel like she's needed. C'mon Oliver, don't you see the chemistry going on between the two of them or I'll have to speak it out loud too?" He scoffed as he said, crossing his arms over his chest."What fucking chemistry? You and I know Xavier is only been all lovey-dovey because he wants to get in between her things. If that's what you call chemistry, then I'll suggest you give it a second thinking.
SHE TURNED TO A MISTRESSNext Morning"Last night was so intense."Madonna said, earning Savannah's chuckle as they descended the stairs, walking straight to the living room. They both took their seats and placed the dish of pepperoni pizza in between them, ready to feast on it."Don't you think we should use the dinning?"Savannah asked and she groaned in protest. "C'mon Savannah, fuck the dinning table. We can have our meal here alongside peace.""Yeah, fine." Savannah replied, passing her the cutleries after packing hers. Then they began to dig into the pepperoni but as they did, Savannah's kept trailing occasionally towards the stairs."Anything wrong?" Madonna worriedly asked her and she simply shook her head. But that doesn't stop her from looking around again. She's feeling the scent- her scent and just maybe; just maybe she's somewhere around.Unknown's povThis all started when I was around 5 or 6 years old. I met my uncle for the first time when he came from Colombia to visit
NO LONGER LIKE THE PAST"I'll suggest you let him go first."Just as Madonna was about ascending the stairs, she got pulled into a corner by Savannah. Having her against the wall, she peeped out into the hallway, motioning a finder out at Madonna and signalling for her to stop."But heck Savannah, he-" Madonna was sure about to protest when Savannah turned towards him and pressed her palm over her mouth, hushing her up before she could let it out."C'mon Madonna, talk real slow if not at all. We just have to let him go and then we can go our way." She said, panicky.Glaring holes at her, Madonna swatted her hand away and before she knew it, Madonna was out the corner and venturing towards Geneva who made a stop by the stairs as soon as he saw her approaching him."Hello."Madonna let out a wide smile as she acknowledged him. Meanwhile Savannah almost developed a heart attack as she slipped out of the corner and stood far feets away from them, watching the scene to see what will go on."
A BIT OF AFFECTION"What do you want?"Oliver harshly blurted when Madonna's face came into view."I want Savannah's freedom."And what she said shocked them to the brim. They looked at each other and shared a knowing eye contact before they both chuckled. Xavier shook his head and just rested his head against the headboard, reclining back to taking sips from the glass in his hand.Meanwhile, Oliver just crossed his arms over his chest and pinpointed towards the door. "Can you please get out of my room?"As he demanded that of her, she almost jumped at the idea but then maintained her stance. This is her friend's life at stake and only heaven knows what's going to happen if they continue maltreating her.Not like she was the one who sinned so why can't they just let go of the past and let the poor girl off the hook. Heck, she has to be given the opportunity to have a deep breath of relief for once in her life."No, not until you listen to me. It's getting odd and instead of the maltre
ALPHA OLIVERNow where is the little waif? I’ve been riding up and down here every damn day! It is not like I don’t have work to do or anything. She did say she comes here in the afternoons, so exactly what time does she come here?Madonna paced up and down in her chamber. The weather was stifling. It was a very hot summer, she longed for a swim. Dare she take a risk? She did not want to face the wrath of that cold blooded reptile, otherwise also known as the rightful owner of the lake she wanted to take a swim in. Making her mind up, she grabbed a towel, her cloak and headed for the Marquis’s lake. Damn it he can’t be so selfish, he must just learn to share.She treaded cautiously around the cascading trees, not sure if she was more terrified of the wild dogs or the crocodile himself. Nervously Madonna arched her neck to the left and right, trying to spot anybody or in particular a man on a black horse. She could see no dust rising aboutanywhere into the air and so, began to peel
The End Geneva and Xavier dismissed the maids after they were done bringing their luggages in. Both having turned around at the same time to check out their new abode, a tight smile crawled on top Xavier's face. Putting back on his sunglasses, he shrugged indifferently at Geneva. " At least now we'll be able to concentrate solemnly on our duties- as Alphas at that."" Yeah, you're kinda right." Geneva nodded in agreement. The mansion been so freaking huge with its funitures and interiors costing a whomping sum of money, they found no problem with it. And also, it's one of the properties owned by them. "Do you think Oliver will be fine? He reluctantly agreed to it when we told him of our decision to leave." Just as Xavier was climbing up the stairs to explore inside, Geneva questioned him. Almost like he just heared the unbelievable, the rate at which Xavier snapped his head towards him was quite snappy. " Did you just ask that?" Xavier wagged a brow at Geneva who wagged a brow, in
STIR UP Why does that name stir up so many emotions in my heart? Hearing him say her name while kissing me was the worse thing that could have ever happened to me. How could I continue kissing a man who called me by another woman's name?It means that he was thinking about her while kissing me. The realization hits me so hard that I feel the air get knocked straight out of my body. He didn't know he was kissing me this entire time; he thought he was kissing her. This fact breaks my heart into two. All along, I was hoping that Kane knew he was with me, that he knew how close we were, that he was enjoying it, that it was making him happy. Now I know that he was thinking about her, the woman he was deeply in love with. He loved and missed her so much that he mistook me for her; for Maya.I didn't know her. I knew nothing about her but yet I didn't think I'd ever been more envious of a woman in my entire life before. How stupid was I? How could I envy a woman I'd never met? She did nothi
LAST EVENT I can't let her continue to touch me like this. My crazy heart likes it too much when it shouldn't. She's making me feel things that I promised myself that I never would until I found Maya.I don't know what's happening to me. Why do I act like this girl is my mate? I didn't only kill that man from earlier because of what he did; I also killed him because I wanted to from the moment I saw him trying to flirt with her.My reaction to her was driving me f*****g crazy. When would I stop this? What did I have to do to stop feeling this way for her? Every time I tried to push her away, something like this happened, pushing me closer to her than ever.I didn't want to snap at her, not after what almost happened to her tonight.I imagine Maya in front of me, and I see the look of disappointment on her face. She's disappointed in me for being so weak and once again letting her down. I couldn't even control my urges around another woman. I never knew that I was this soft.How coul
STEPPING AWAY"I'll return to the party," I tell him as I step away from him. It's hard for me to do it, but he's leaving me no choice. He doesn't want me here. “It's clear that you don't want me here. I won't stay where I'm not wanted. All I wanted to do was to help you as you helped me. I wanted to hear your story; you remember everything from your past while I remember nothing. I don't know who my children's father is, and I don't know my name. I don't know my family. I don't know anything. I don't know if people are looking for me, and I don't know if someone did this to me or if losing my memory was an accident. I don't know why I'm telling you this; you don't want to hear it. I'm just trying to say that while I don't remember anything about my life, you remember everything about yours. And whatever it is that you remember, I can tell that it's hurting you. I'm sorry if I overstepped my boundaries; as I said, I only wanted to help."Kane doesn't say anything; he isn't looking at
ASTRAY My mind was racing as I tried to make sense of his words. Was he referring to the woman he was with before he decided to marry Giselle? Is she the reason why he's always looking like this? How much did he care about her? Did he love her? There were so many questions on my mind. I needed the answers, and I had to get them now. I felt like I would go insane if he didn't tell me who she was."Who is she?" I whisper. I can't even recognize my voice. I'm scared, actually scared, to find out that this was the woman he loved. I'm not sure how I would react to this, knowing that there was a woman out there that Kane loved this much. A woman that left him in a state of depression. He doesn't have to tell me. I can see the answer in his eyes alone. But I still want to hear it. I won't believe it until he opened his mouth and told me.I wait for his answer, but it never comes."Who is she?" I ask again. "How can you say something like that without explaining yourself? I want to know who
UPCOMING "Yes," Kane finally answers. "You weren't waking up, and I knew you had plenty of things planned for us today. I had my friend, a doctor, make sure that everything was okay. He told me that it's important that you rest for a few days."Giselle shakes her head, "I can't rest when we've already lost an entire day together, Kane; we need to make up for the lost time. I have some friends coming over tonight; I didn't realize I'd been sleeping for so long. I want to introduce you to them. They will be happy to know that I've finally gotten the man of my dreams.""Do you think that's a good idea?" he asks her. "I don't want to see anything happen to your health; it was hard being by your side today and seeing you so sick. Please reconsider."Giselle smiles, and it's weird to see her look this happy all at once, "thank you for showing me your caring side. If I had any doubts about our upcoming marriage, they're gone now. You're going to make a wonderful husband and father to our f
WAKES UPI had the list of their enemies. I needed to remove the ones that didn't have sisters; that would be rare to find, but it was all I had to work with. My plan will only work if the person who wrote the letter about Maya was telling the truth.I hold the paper tightly in my hands; this is the first lead. I'm not going to stop here. The next chance that I get, I'm searching for her.I don't care where you are, Maya. I will find you, and I will make things right between us."Kane!" I heard someone shout my name. I turn towards the sound, and I recognize the person immediately.It's the same girl from before who protected me from Maya's brothers. I didn't want to stay and speak to anyone, but I think I had to at least listen to her after she saved my life. She's why I can live to find out what happened to my mate."What is your name?" I ask her.She looked startled when I asked her, but she quickly answered, "Gabriella."I nod, "not that I'm not grateful that you saved my life bef
NUZZLE I felt the girl smell me earlier. I'm sure of it. Her actions both puzzled and did things to my body that I would rather not think about. Why did she trust me as much as she did? What was it about her that continued to draw me in? She was a puzzle to me, a puzzle that I had to keep away from. She kept doing things that surprised me; I was never sure what she was about to say or do. It was easy to say that I would never have a dull moment with her. I've had people hate me from the moment they met me, who judged me. She was probably one of the first women who thought of me as someone they could trust blindly.Thinking about her while she wasn't even near me was off-limits. From now on, I had to be harsher on myself. I had to do it because I couldn't disappoint the one person that mattered to me.I look up from where I'm standing.I don't know why I'm in front of Maya's home; I wouldn't be here if I had another option to find my mate. I knew that the only way I would be able to
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWO:- BACK THEREI want to scream in frustration when Kane closes his arms around me. I'm not allowed to feel this way for him. The man doesn't even like it when I say his name. I felt his reaction when I held onto him earlier; he was unhappy about it. I think he hates it when I'm near him. He hates it when I touch him and he hates it when I speak. What was wrong with my body? Why do I act like this isn't the first time we've been this close? Why does my heart tell me that I should remember him? Why do I want to hold onto him and stay this way forever?There is no way that I knew Kane.My stupid heart was crazy for thinking otherwise; that's the only explanation I can think of. If Kane knew who I was, he would have recognized me by now. Instead, he acts like I'm a stranger, someone he doesn't want to ever be around.I'm glad that he's treating me this way; if he'd continued to be kind for no reason, my heart would have continued to waver. It's something that co
