ALPHA TEIGEN's POVI wasn't familiar with regret. It wasn't an emotion or dealt with frequently. Whenever I made decisions, I was always certain of them. There was never any reason to think back and wish I had done things differently because I was always careful.I didn't act rashly. Never for once in my life have I acted rashly....until her.From the moment I discovered she had disappeared, an unexplainable rage settled within me. Then finding out that Tynin had also disappeared. Words aren't enough to describe how I was feeling.I hunted through the forest with my best warriors, determined to get her back. The reason behind that.... I didn't even want to think about it. I just needed to get her back to the house where I could see her. For my wolf's sanity. For my sanity.The door flew open and Alfio entered. He had an unreadable expression on his face."How is she?""Are you really concerned about that?""I wouldn't ask if I didn't want to know," I said angrily."She's still alive i
When I opened my eyes again, I felt much calmer. My brain had already processed everything before I passed out so nothing came as a shock to me. "Hey. You're awake" I was startled by the voice since I thought I was alone but when her face came into view, I relaxed."Let me help you" she assisted me into a sitting position. I looked around the room for a moment. Where was this place? She must have sensed my question."It is an extension of the pack house. It's used to house ill people" I nodded."Do you remember my name?""V-Viviana" my voice was hoarse. She smiled at my response."I'll get you some water" I watched as she stood up and moved around the room until she returned with a glass of water."Thank you," I said after drinking the content."Are you a wolf?" I asked curiously. She nodded with a smile."We are all wolves"It's surprising. She was the first to treat me nicely and not look at me like I was the dirt underneath her shoes. Aside Tynin. The thought of him brought tears
THREE WEEKS LATERMy life didn't change much for three weeks. Other than finding out that I've been permanently tied to a monster, nothing interesting really happened.Viviana and I were friends now though. She checked in on me frequently and always ensured that I was doing well. Nobody knew that I had been marked by the alpha and I planned to keep it like that. The girls who fawned over it wouldn't like the news and I do it want to be a target for them.Although they've stopped their persistent bullying, there's no telling what they might do again. And I believe Viviana was wrong when she said nobody would hurt me because of the mark. I believed they'll see it and hurt me even more.I always wore high-collared clothes that covered the mark from the eyes of others. Over the last few weeks, I've kept my head down, trying to live an invincible life. So far, it was working out well for me and I was pleased.I also had no attempt to run away anymore. I couldn't let my mother be killed. I
Viviana was writing something down when I entered her small office but hid it away as soon as she saw me. I didn’t bother to ask about it. If it was something I needed to know, then she would tell me. I knew that much. “Arcelia? Are you okay?” She looked at me with worry. “I don’t think so. My body….. I can’t explain it” I fanned myself with my palm because I was starting to feel way too hot. “Just tell me, however. You look unwell” “I keep thinking about the alpha” she was puzzled for a second but then she smiled weirdly. “No. I don’t want to think about him but I can’t help it. He’s constantly on my mind and the things I imagine….it’s like I’m under a spell” “It’s been three weeks since….oh shit” she rushed over to her table and I followed her. “What’s wrong?” I leaned over the table and she flipped through a calendar. “Shit! Shit!” “What’s wrong Viviana? You’re frightening me” “It’s the heat” Yeah. I felt hot but why did she look panicked about me being hot? “You don’t
Alpha Teigen’s cock was already fully erect, straining at his pants. His heavenly chest was bare and glittering with something. My senses has come alive and his scent overwhelmed me.A new wave of wetness flooded my thighs and I let out a tiny whimper. He stalked closer to the bed and I became hotter.This was going to happen. There was no stopping it. Not like j wanted it to stop. I was already dying of anticipation to have him touch me.And he did that in the next moment, gliding his hot palm over my heated thighs. I moved closer to him until we were breaths away. His fingers tangled in my hair and he pulled me into him for a deep kiss.I’ve never been kissed like this in my life. And no male had made my body come alive just with his presence. He pushed me backward, laying me on my back and not breaking the kiss.My fingers tangled in his hair and I tried to pull him impossibly closer. He groaned against my mouth and reached between us, his fingers teasing my throbbing pussy. I gasp
My eyes opened slowly and I took in the strange room. The memories trooped in one by one and I sat up instantly.The space beside me was empty and I heaved a sigh of relief. Thank their gods. I didn't know how I would react if I woke up beside him after what went down.My cheeks tinged and a small smile came to my face. I've had lovers in the past but none of them had made me come alive the way he did.The way he touched me, stroked me, the orgasms he wrought from my body, I don't think anybody would be able to make that happen again. As much as I hated to admit it, I was hoping we could do it again sometime.I tried to stand up but the muscles in my leg burned. I lay back against the bed, feeling bothered.Maybe I just needed to rest for a short while and then I'll be out of his room before he returned. I curled into a ball on the bed and I fell asleep in no time.When I woke up the next time, my legs still hurt but I felt better. I hastily grabbed the first clothes I could find and
I cleaned the last room on the floor and stepped into the hallway. The room at the end was still occupied so I had to wait. I didn’t want to run into any wolf so I returned my cleaning supplies and went to find Viviana.She was relaxing in a rocking chair which was a welcome change because she was always working whenever I came here.“Arcelia” she beamed at me.“Good to see you resting today” she chuckled.“Alfio told me to have the day off. And you?”“I have one more room to clean and then I’m done for the day”“Your time off was supposed to end tomorrow. I don’t know why you won’t take advantage of it and rest”I scoffed. What if it was a trap? After my last encounter with Alpha Teigen, I was determined not to slack. His words had been the perfect eye opened for me.Viviana said the bond would make you feel things and I believe it was responsible for my actions that day. Wanting to see if his attitude toward me had changed and disappointed when I realized it had not.But if he could
ALPHA TEIGEN’s POVAlfio was standing outside the door. I forbade him from barging into my office. He wanted to say something to me but I didn’t want to hear. I couldn’t be bothered about what he had to say. The door opened and Bladgen entered. He had a wide smile on his face and I knew he had good news.“We found him”“Where is he?” “The room above the dungeons”“Let’s go” I exited the office and saw Alfio.“Let’s talk when I’m finished” he was pleased and nodded.The room was thick with the stench of his fear. They had already roughed him up a bit. He looked up as I entered and more fear escaped his pores. My wolf loved the sound of his heart beating twice as fast.“Teigen. I swear to you. I know nothing about what I’m accused of. I would never hurt Miyanda”“Oh, but you did already. You cheated on her”“I didn’t plan to. It just happened and I was going to end things with her because I didn’t want to hurt her anymore”His response angered me. And it wasn’t because he was going to
As I finished up from teaching and the last pup was picked up, I made my way to the pack house. My baby girl was staying with her father today. Over the course of two years, many things had changed. My heart especially and that is why I'm trying to pick up my daughter without running into her father. “Arcelia?” Landon was the first person I saw as I arrived at the pack house. “I'm surprised to see you here”“I finished early so I decided to pick her up myself”“Come on in. She's with the alpha. They should be in his office.”“No,” I said quickly and he raised a brow at me. “Okay” I can bring her downstairs to you” I smiled at him. “I'll appreciate that” he chuckled and we entered inside. While I waited downstairs, he went upstairs to get Imogen for me. Yes, I named her in honor of my best friend. The thought of her demise didn't hurt me so much anymore. Like I said, my heart had changed and I let go of resentment which means I have forgiven those who had killed her. Two years is a
ALPHA TEIGEN's POV"Everything is going smoothly," Landon said as he entered my office."I know. I spoke to Viviana""How are you feeling?" I chuckled at the question. He was the first person to ask me this. Not that I was looking for sympathy or pity but it kind of felt good to know that he was concerned."I've seen better days. I'll be fine. I just want her to be okay""And Miyanda, do you honestly not want to see her anymore? She's still your sister"Of course, someday I'll look at Miyanda and I'll not feel like tearing her apart. But it wasn't today. Not anytime soon."She's sorry""Yes. Her apology can magically change the past""Don't you think it's a bit hypocritical? You want Arcelia's forgiveness but you won't forgive Miyanda""It's her fault we're in this situation. I acted out of foolishness but it was because I thought Miyanda had been murdered. She had no reason to do what she did""I get. But she's not responsible for your actions""She contributed to it. I'm not trying
Firstly, I didn't think Alpha Teigen would easily agree to me moving out of the pack house. But then I had to use the situation to my advantage. The house was ready two days after I made the request and I was already moving in. Viviana and a few guards were helping me.They were constantly communicating with the alpha but he didn't show himself which was perfect.The last of the things were set up and I thanked them for their effort."I'll go and get some groceries to make some food. Will you be okay by yourself?"I nodded. She was constantly worrying about me. That was why I didn't want to tell her anything about my suspicions. The constant vomiting, nausea, and the rest were symptoms of something I didn't want to believe was true. Not at this time. It would only make things more messy.I took a shower and changed into lighter clothes. The house was wonderful, well-furnished, and somewhat similar to my old apartment.Since I was staying here permanently, I needed to find a job. It wo
ALPHA TEIGEN's POVI drank the remaining contents of the cup and poured myself another. This wasn't the solution to the current problems but there was nothing I could do.Regret clawed at my heart. More than the anger I was feeling. She wouldn't talk to me or open her door for anyone. I could still hear sounds inside that is why I haven't broken down the door.Alfio entered my office with a grim look on his face."She opened her door" my eyes snapped up."Viviana is with her now. But I doubt she'll want to see anyone at the moment""I just want to know that she's okay""Will she truly be? I can only imagine what is going through her head right now. I knew there was something off about the whole case in the first place. It makes sense now"I should have listened to Alfio but I let my foolish anger consume me. "I'm a fucking fool""Dwelling on the past will do nothing for you now. You have to think of a way to make things better. To earn her forgiveness" "She said she'll never forgiv
I felt weak in my knees. If I was standing, I would have fallen over. "What the fuck Miyanda?" Alfio was screaming. I've never seen him upset like this. Someone else shouted something. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry" Miyanda cried. I gripped the material of my dress tightly in my fingers. It cannot be. Everything..."Do you know what you've done? For fucks sake Miyanda. I thought they murdered you. Do you know what I've done since I started receiving those parts?" Teigen yelled at his sister. "I didn't think you'll take it that far""You didn't think? You know me. You know how angry I get. You used that to your advantage. You wanted me to torture them" he continued yelling and I just sat there, my head spinning while I still tried to wrap my head around everything. She faked her death? It was laughable. I had to resist the urge to not laugh out loud at the madness. She fucking faked her death. "Why did you bother to show up" Alfio screamed. "You should have remained dead. Do you know the
I don't understand. What... how was she here? I rubbed my eyes because I started to feel I was hallucinating. Maybe one of those dreams that I usually had. It could be stress. Or maybe this person has a similar face to that woman. Was she a twin? I shook my head, getting rid of those thoughts. It couldn't be. I may have only seen her once but I remembered her face correctly. She was real..... and alive."Miyanda" someone brushed past me and I saw alpha Teigen hugging her tightly and checking her."You're alive... how?""I'm so sorry" she sobbed tearfully. I was rooted to the floor, confused as fuck, and watching her."What are you sorry about Miyanda? What happened tell me" he led her to one of the empty chairs."You're okay. Where have you been""Alpha" Aldrid bathed in."We tracked the human to the pack house"What human I wondered?"Find whoever it is and...""It was me that went past border patrol," Miyanda said and everybody faced her again."You're alive" Aldrid mumbled, experi
"I don't understand why you feel the need to work" Viviana grumbled at me. "Isn't it better than sitting idle?""I understand you don't want to be idle but scrubbing the floors?""Do you have a better job for me""Sitting around pretty all day. It's not like you get paid for this""I still want to do it. How is it going with the children?""Alfio's cure seems to be working. He's not such a pain in the ass anymore""That is good for you. Very good" she mumbled. "Alfio was proposing that the alpha allow some people to go to your world and learn from you but the alpha was against it" I snorted. It would be beneficial to the pack but he only likes to do things that he wants. He doesn't care about the opinion of others or if they get hurt or...hold up Arcelia. We're going off track. "Well did he say why he was against it""Mhmmm. It's a solid reason and before you say I always support him, I'm not doing that right now. His reason is completely logical. While the alpha may be terrible as
Alpha Teigen's povA week after our huge argument and I only felt worse than I did before that. It was wrong of me to bring her mother into the situation. I had not been thinking properly and she had every reason to be upset with me. I just wasn't thinking."Alpha" Landon called me and I looked up at him."What's wrong?""You've been unhappy and I know it's not my place but you're hurting yourself.""Landon. Report on official matters and leave my personal life alone""He's just being difficult Alfio said""What's the situation with the children""The rashes disappeared from two children, we have four more new cases now""I thought we were isolating the affected?""Yes. The children didn't get it from them which leads me to believe that bodily contact is not the cause of the spread. There is something else. Maybe a place only children visit. Their getting from there or eating something from there""Please look into it. I've got several disturbing calls in the last few days. Parents ar
"Are you going to tell me why you were here yesterday, bawling your eyes out""It's nothing, Viviana""Are you sure?" "Landon was here after you slept off. He looked worried. Did something happen with the alpha" I scoffed. "Does it matter? He'll always be right to you""Arcelia?""Just forget about it. I was foolish. It was my mistake""Things were going so well. I just don't understand it""I don't either but it's probably for the best this way" I've learned my lesson and I won't be making the same mistake twice. When I went out finally, the stares were too much. I could imagine what was going through their heads. I arrived to grab the supplies but someone blocked my path. "What's wrong? We have strict instructions not to let you clean anymore""Why?" I was bewildered. "I don't know. Alpha's orders. You have to see him to answer any question you might have" I groaned and moved away. Was he going to take everything away from me? Everything I enjoyed? I didn't want to see him. I di
