I have been in my room nursing my injuries since I was released. Suddenly, my door flew open and Diane stormed in. “Well, well, well, look how pitiful you look. You should have listened to me and stopped when you had the chance. Too bad, you brought this upon yourself.”“Is this what you came to tell me?” I asked, not wanting to start an argument with Diane. It was a waste of time for me to do so. “No, not at all, just that I found you someone who would like after you?”I froze and took my gaze up at Diane. “What are you up to this time, Diane?”“Guess what?” Just then, a woman walked into the room. She doesn't seem that familiar, but seeing how she looked, she reminded me of Diane. “She will be your mom now, so you had better behave.”“What?” I couldn't believe what Diane had just said. “You mean she's my…hold on a minute. This is your mom?”Diane suddenly curved her lips in a wicked smile. I'm glad you know exactly what I'm trying to say now.”“So, you are, Gina. Last time I sa
***Gina's POV*****“Why do I have this feeling that you are lying to me?” I said while staring into his eyes. Shit! It's happening again. I can't believe I've lost my senses over him. I couldn't tear my eyes off him. Those eyes were just too beautiful for me to take my gaze away. While I was staring at him, he slowly took his gaze down to my lips.I could see all of his actions, but then, I was unable to react, no matter how much I wanted to. This is not me. He's clearly not my mate, so why do I feel this strong pull towards him? Just then, I noticed our proximity was getting even close, and the next thing I knew, his lips were on mine, and moving. I slowly shut my eyes, my heart instantly raced the very moment our lips touched.Isn't this wrong? Is it? I mean, I was mated to someone else, but here I am, giving myself to another. I only regained myself and pushed him back to the ground when he parted his lips to kiss me deeply.“What the fuck do you think you are doing?” I lashed out
I took a glance at him. I knew nothing about this strange man in front of me. Not just a strange man, I knew nothing about the man I was falling for. “Excuse me, what's your name again?” I asked. “Oh, seems, you don't actually know my name,” he said with a grin. “Well, you don't expect me to guess,” I replied. “My name is, uhm, Dave!” he said sharply. Dave? That name sounds off, but since he said it's his name, who am I to judge that? “Okay, so, Dave, why do you want to know what I think about your Alpha?” I asked while folding my hands on my chest. “I know you must think I'm one of those, I mean_”“One of those who make life unbearable in the pack, you mean?” I said. He paused his mouth and stared at me like I had just spoken what was exactly on his mind.“I mean you no harm, Diane.” “Whoever is from the Alpha is definitely not on my side but on my sister's,” I said and immediately walked away from him. Just then, I heard quick steps behind me. I didn't need to be told that
I lay in my bed, reminiscing what had happened earlier. I still can't place my hands on anything yet. All this was the fault of Dave. If only he hadn't followed me around, I would have been able to find out what I was going for. But then, if Dave was truly sent by the Alpha, does this mean he was doing it for Diane or for the fact that it was the right thing to do? No matter how I think about it, I can't seem to come to a conclusion. I wish I knew what he was thinking about, then I wouldn't have to worry my poor head. “Dave…" I whispered. What is wrong with me? Why do I see him everywhere? In my dreams and in my reality. The strange part of this was the fact that my wolf had never pronounced him mate, so what was this feeling all about? *******Diane's POV….“Mother, my guess is right?” I walked into my mother's room quickly with my heels making a click-clack sound on the floor. “What are you talking about, darling?”Mom asked, dropping the new times magazine, which she had been r
*****Cain's POV****“Why do you look sad, Cain?” “No matter what, I still can't believe she called me blind and stupid.”“Huh? What are you talking about?”“Huh?” I took my gaze up at Fox instantly. I was totally out of it. How did I not notice Fox coming in?“What were you talking about, Alpha Cain? Who called you blind and stupid?” Fox asked, with a confused expression. Shoot! I can't believe I said that out loud. “No one, it's just…” I trailed off, not knowing what to say because my thoughts were still not arranged at that moment. “Okay?... I don't know what you are up to, but I would like to inform you that it is time to go test out your suit.“My suit? What suit?” I asked in a flummoxed state. Fox stared at me with eyes and mouth aghast. “You're kidding, right?”“What do you want?” I asked again. “It's your wedding in two days. How on earth did you forget about that?”That jogged my memory at once. “Fuck! I can't believe I forgot about it,” I said in a slight whisper. “O
“Oh my goodness! You look stunning. Sorry to say this, but you look more beautiful than the bride herself.”I couldn't hold back my chuckle. This was the first time I had smiled ever since the death of my parents. “I don't know about beauty, and sadly, I don't care about it now,” I blurted out, way before I realized what I had said. “I'm so sorry, that wasn't meant to slip.” “You don't need to apologize. Though I didn't know your story, I can assure you that everything's going to be okay,” the sales clerk said. Now that I look at her closely, she looks so much my age. “What's your name?” I asked, curiously.“My bad, I should have introduced myself earlier. My name is, Anna, I uhm, actually own this place!” Anna said with a crinkled nose. “Wow! You don't say.” I gasped the next minute. How on earth did I become so stupid? I had totally forgotten about my father's company. What could have happened to it now? “I'm actually uhm… You don't have to worry. I'm always here. Maybe you ca
***Cain's POV***No way! This can't be happening. Diane will be present at the wedding? How the hell didn't I think about this before now? Fuck!“Uhm, Dave? Are you okay?” I quickly snapped out of my thoughts and took my gaze at her.“Uhm, yea, I'm okay.”“So…what role will you be playing at the wedding?” She asked. This just made things worse. I was so unprepared for this. Where should I start from? Just then, I grabbed her by the hand and pulled her with me to a room which, I believed, was one of the changing rooms.“Dave, what's going on?” Diane protested while trying to get her hands off me.” I breathed heavily, confused about what to do.“Why did you bring me here?!” Diane questioned, but I had no answer for her at that point. This was totally not what I planned for.“Diane,” I stared at her, but her innocent eyes just made me curious. I stared down at her lips and, once again, I let the lust of my wolf take over, and I quickly leaned in and took her lips into a passionate kis
*****Gina's POV***I wish I could sleep and forget about his kisses. Am I perhaps going crazy thinking about Dave? Goddess help me. This isn't the time to be lusting over a man. I need to find the killers of my parents. Why is it getting so complicated to do so?My sister's wedding has occupied me enough, and now I'm having a man's kisses in my thoughts. Turns out he will be attending the wedding as well. But why does he look so shocked, though? I only told him I would be the Chief Bridesmaid at my sister's wedding, but he seemed to be surprised about it.A knock on my door snapped me from my thoughts.“Miss Diane, can I come in?” That was Patricia, the omega who had been helping me with the chores for the wedding.“Do come in, Patricia.” Patricia came into my room, flashing me a warm smile.“What is it?”“I know you only just got in to rest, but the Luna wants more flowers, and she wants you to get them.”“Huh?” More flowers!” I exclaimed loudly with wide eyes.“I don't know why eit
***Gina's POV***I narrated the whole story to the crowd, and they all stared at me in awe. “Now let's discuss the reason there are two Lunas. The witch made a blood ritual with my face, and cloned my sister here, to have the same face as me. This way she could get into the pack and be with the Alpha and also be a spy for the enemies.”“That's not true! She's a liar!”“Uhm, excuse me to come in on this,” Fox said as he walked over to where I stood. “Though I still have no idea who the Luna is among you two, but Alpha, I've been meaning to report an issue, and since this issue ve up, I think it's best to report it now.”“What's that about, Fox?” Cain asked with a confused expression. “When you left, I noticed some strange movements about Luna. At first, she got into your office in the middle of the night, though she gave an explanation which I understood. Some nights, later, Anna also saw her leave the pack at midnight.”“Yes, Alpha. She left the pack at night and stayed out for som
****Gina's POV****The war became so hectic that everyone almost lost it, bleeding profusely, even though the people we were up against were indeed worthy opponents. We fought to our last breaths. I stood in front of the witch while I grabbed her by the throat. “You've always talked down on me even 10000 years ago and now. You tortured me and almost made me lose my child. Did you think these things I will forgive? Then you must not know me.”The witch, whose powers had been exhausted, didn't say a word. “Well, since you wouldn't speak, it means there's nothing left of you. Moreover, I would like to see what you look like, since you've always been in a mask,” I dragged the mask off her face, and there was a shrinking old lady with a decaying face. I shut my eyes instantly as I couldn't stand just how hideous she looked.“It is quite a pity that you were unable to preserve your skin. I bet every other part of your body has begun to decay. Let me guess, you started decaying the moment
***Gina's POV****I made preparations with the Alpha of the new pack I was in. “Alpha Zane, you don't really have to come with me. I can do this on my own.”“Don't say that now, Scarlet Witch. It is my honor to work with you. Please do not refuse my help.”I can't refuse him anyway. But then I have to make an important decision. And that is to either go to the witch or to my mate. I couldn't go to my mate because I didn't want him to get confused. Going to him now will only mean I'll have to prove myself. I have that much time left to prove myself to him, rather the time I have is to get rid of witch Zelda for good. She has lived for far too long. Before going on my mission, I decided to pay a visit to my son, who was with Reina. During the times I've been in training, Reina had been the one taking care of Leon. Since she still hasn't gotten a pup of her own, she takes care of Leon like he was her son. The only thing she came to me for was When he needed to be fed. “Reina, I'll be
****Alpha Cain's POV***I'm quickly asked to see Fox immediate, I need all the men that I can get. “Alpha, you sent for me.”“Fox, I require some men, the battle with our enemies will start soon. I know we've never really gone on a head - on battle with any Pack, aside from the fact that they tried attacking us twice. This time, we are not going to let them strike first because we will be the ones striking first. “This is good news, then, Alpha. I can't wait for us to finally deal with these enemies who have been trying to get us down. But Alpha, have you any idea who the traitor is among your trusted allies?”“Of course, I found the culprit. And you wouldn't believe it.”“Who among them is the real enemy?”“It's one of your most trusted Alphas.”“Shit! How on earth did he become one of the trusted allies?”“It beats me up to this very moment. I had no idea how I got deceived by him.”“Since that's the case, after mobilizing our men, what will be our next step?”“Our next step is to
****Gina's POV***I stood in front of the black Box. At this point, I was so sure about what I'm about to do.”“Gina, do you need me to be here with you?”“I took a glance at Reina and smiled at her. You don't have to Reina. I need to do this on my own. All I ask is that you take care of my boy until I'm done with what I'm about to do.”“You have nothing to worry about if that's the case. Your son is very well safe with me and will always be safe with me. You should do your thing. I promise we'll all be waiting for you patiently for your return,”With that, she shut the door, leaving me in the dark room with the box. Before standing in front of the box I trained for over a month. I cannot delay the process anymore. The mistakes I made in the past cost me dearly, I cannot make another mistake this time. Standing in front of the box, I slowly placed my hands on it and shut my eyes, but all of a sudden, I was thrown off to the wall by the immense power from the box. What was that? I s
*****Alpha Dexter's POV***I paced from one end of the room to the other. I can't imagine things going south. We all had our plans well sorted out, but how the hell did Cain find out about Dorian?As soon as Dorian walked in, I quickly walked over to meet him. “What's going on, Dorian? Do you have any idea what happened?”“Huh? I don't know what you mean. I just came back from meeting with the rogues to give them their reward as promised. “Shit! You should have informed me before going?”“Alpha Dexter, did something happen, perhaps?”“Yes, you were spotted by Alpha Cain's men. Do you know what this means? We are done for. All of our plans I'm afraid will go down the drain.”“It won't, I promise I will rectify whatever suspicion the Alpha might have on me.”“You think Cain is stupid? He already suspects you and the others. Since he was able to find out, this simply means that he must have been keeping tracks of you all. This was just the best opportunity, and you got caught in the ac
***Anna's POV***The moment I managed to pull away from the kiss, which took almost forever, I glared at him and screamed loud. “What the hell is wrong with you, Fox?”“Huh? You, of course. I kept trying to pass the message, but you weren't giving me a listening ear, so I thought this was the best way-”“Don't even start with me. What happened to confronting me and telling me whether you were attracted to me or not? What's with forcing your lips on mine, damn it!”“Let me understand this, Anna, are you perhaps mad at the kiss or mad at the fact that I didn't propose my feelings to you formally?”I darted my gaze from place to place. At this point, I don't even know why I was mad. Why was I?I took a quick glance at him only to see him watching me curiously and probably waiting for answers from me. “You know what, I'm not going to stay here one more minute to listen to your questions,” just as I placed my hands on the door knob, Fox quickly locked the door and took the keys into his
****Anna's POV***“Miss Anna, don't you think you've been coming rather frequently. I mean, I'm not the Alpha.”“What's wrong with you? You should at least hear what I have to say before you jump to conclusions, you know.”“Oh, I'm jumping to conclusions?”“Well, just in case you haven't noticed, that's what you've been doing whenever I come to you. Or do you perhaps have a thing for me?”I asked with a creased brow. Fox immediately let out a slight cough, which confused me. “What's wrong?”“Goodness! What goes into that head of yours? I mean, why would I have a thing for you in the first place?”“Well, I have no idea. Yours actions keep confusing me, so you can't blame me for thinking that way,”“Trust me, there's nothing like that,” he said while staring deep in my eyes as if he were searching for Something. I cleared my throat quickly. For some reason, his gaze made me uncomfortable. “So tell me, why are you here?”Now that he's come back to being serious, I quickly walked over
***Diane's POV****The moment it was the middle of the night, I quickly dressed up and wore a dark cloak which hid my face. I needed to get out of the pack to pass my message, and the only way I could do that was this time of the night. The witch had earlier informed me to call on her if I had anything to report to her. At this point, there's a lot she needed to know about. Starting with the fact that Alpha Cain had found a lead which I do not know about. And also the fact that Anna had come to stay with me. I knew she was going to keep a close watch on me all through the day. That's why the best time to do this was in the middle of the night. When I know she wouldn't have the time to watch over me. I passed through the place Anna had earlier shown me to be our hideout. This was better than when I had to go through the pack house. If truly I was able to get through to the witch using the hideout, that simply means this will be my new route. The other which I used was quite risky an
