"So what brings you to the convenience store so early in the morning?
"It's not so early, I just came to get groceries."
"So how did you get so much money?"
I had expected her to ask such a question. She was my enemy and was one of the girls at the brothel before she broke out, had her own, and is now married to a big shot.
"Well, I got the money from where you wouldn't like to find out" I replied, trying to resist the urge to hurt her now.
She was always filled with pride and was good at talking down to other people.
"About that lunch, I'll rather back out. I do not want to have business with someone who cannot even respect the person they are talking to."
"It's fine, I knew you'd back out but that wouldn't stop me from paying for your cheap groceries."
I gnashed my teeth angrily, staring at her with a mean gaze.
"Don't worry, I'll pay for it myself. I can take good care of myself without your help."&n
Logan's POV Caleb was still telling us about the happenings in the pack when we heard a knock on my office door. "Hmm, come in," I said, my rest, gazing at the door that made a creaking sound when it opened. "Alpha, this letter came in for you today." "Hmm, bring It here." I stretched forth my hands until the letter was on it before dismissing the servant. "What's that?" Raze asked with a frown on his face. "Caleb, do you know anything about this?" I asked but the expression on Caleb's face showed me that everything was new to him. "Why don't you open the letter, huh?" Raze stated with a raised brow. "You're right." I didn't waste time tearing open the envelope to bring out the letter that was folded. "Hmm, it's from a popular club." "Really, what's it about?" "Hmmm, they want us to come party, I guess." "Really? Let's go have some, it's been a long time since we partied." "That's because they are more serious matters at hand," I objected to Raze's idea, my eyes gla
Reena's POVThe knock on the door dragged my attention from the book I was reading. That was the only way I could take my mind off the boredom I was feeling."Who is it?" I asked but the person didn't reply as someone I didn't yet know pushed the door."Celeb?" I was surprised when I saw who walked in and my raging heart suddenly calmed down."Were you scared?" He asked with a sly smile and I just sighed because my face looked like someone who had just seen a ghost."Of course! First, you knock and don't say who you were and then you let your shoes show first before you walked in, you're just like the handsome CEO in this book I'm reading." "You shouldn't let Logan hear you call me that, he might end up beating me to death for trying to steal you away." "Just between us tho." I giggled with a smile on my face."So what's going on?""Well Logan asked me to…" he paused, his eyes darted around and for the first time in a while, curiosity overwhelmed me."To what?!" I exclaimed when the
I was looking pretty and the makeup wasn't even done yet. The maids in the room admired me and it made me flutter on the inside."I bet alpha Logan would marry you right away when he sees how you look when the makeup is done.""You think so?""I know so." One of the maids rested her hands on my shoulders while some sat on my bed as they watched me being dressed up."Where do you think Logan would take you to?""Take me? I thought we were having guests.""But, if we were to have guests, we would have prepared meals for them so they could enjoy themselves, don't you think?""Yeah, that's true. Alpha Logan always makes sure to take care of his guests very well because our pack is the most respected.""Do you have an idea where he might want to take me?""We don't know," one of the ladies replied, adding the finishing touches to the makeup."But–""Done!" Sh
Logan's POVI held her hands towards a car already prepared for us by one of the guards."Really?" She gasped at the red-coloured car which was very intriguing."That isn't all, what till you are shocked by the rest of the surprise," I said, helping her into the seat that was nearest to the driver's seat before going to seat in the driver's seatThe driver was a little bit quiet but as I watched Reena was the corner of my eye, I only fell more in love with her.She was kind, beautiful, patient, loving, and most of all so innocent."Are we there yet?" I heard her voice say most meekly. I knew she was asking where we were going but it was a really big surprise."Hmm, almost," I replied with a huge smile on my face. The love of my life deserves the best and no one is going to stop that from happening, okay?" I asked with a raised brow and she nodded.Anyone in her shoes would ask where we were going. I was taking her to town
Reena's POVDinner was nice, and the way we maintained eye contact gave me goosebumps. He was being so sweet and after paying for the pills, he held my hands and took me towards the car."Where are we going?" I asked curiously, my eyes beaming at him while he opened the door to the seat next to the driver's own."To a clothing store, we need to get you dressed for the party I talked about earlier.""Really?" I raised my brows, but he shut the door, going to the driver's seat before he was able to answer my question."Of course! Didn't I promise you we would go out? I only want what is perfect for my queen, okay?""Okay." I could only smile at how sweet he was. He was a man of his word but one thing I feared about him was his anger.Not wanting to say anything more, he started the car which made a roaring sound before he drove off.I had never gone out like this even when I was in the other pack."What's wrong
"Thanks," I commented, taking the clothes, before shutting the door of the dressing room. I wanted to look elegant m, yet simple.She brought in a blue Jean, a black crop top with slim hands, a black bag, a jacket, and nice heels to go with it."Perfect!" I exclaimed, after struggling to put on the clothes. There was this satisfaction in my eyes because I loved what I was seeing."Jennifer?" I called again but it wasn't to send her any errand but to hug her."This is so nice, thank you so much," I hugged her with my eyes closed and she hugged me back.After the hug, she pulled away and her eyes scanned me from head to toe."You look stunning. I'm sure she won't be able to recognize you," she teased me about Logan and I blushed."Is the makeup nice?" I asked and she nodded.Thankfully, the makeup was still intact and didn't stain the cloth I was wearing."Can I go to him now?" My brows were raised, my eyes gazing at her with concern."Yes ma'am!" She helped me with the bag she added to
The eyes of everyone on me caused my heart to pound loudly in my chest. I gulped severally, and I could feel the sweetness forming and trailing down my forehead.I was getting so uncomfortable, to the extent that everywhere around me began spinning. Thankfully, Logan was there to show me that he was able to protect me because he took my hand in his as we walked down the park."Who's that girl, who's she?" Questions and murmurings could be heard but I didn't care. Now that Logan held my hands, I felt their words couldn't get to me anymore."Hey, you look smoking too!" Caleb teased with excitement when we came to sit on the chair reserved for us."You look nice too, Caleb." I smiled at the way he gulped when I commended him in front of Logan."You shouldn't commend me in front of…" he trailed off, using his eyes to show me who he was talking about."It's fine Caleb, I understand you very much," I giggled, taking the wine that was on the
Logan's POVI was so worried about Reena. She didn't know her way around the club and she ran off after I kissed her in front of everyone.I admit I wasn't supposed to do such a thing but what could I do? It wasn't my fault that everything went badly.I couldn't resist because of how innocent she was and how sensual the expression on her face was when we danced."Reena?" I called, moving away from the crowd who had been watching me."Logan," Caleb held my arm and pulled me to a more private area."What happened men? What came over you?" Caleb seemed disappointed."I don't know, I'm sorry. I couldn't hold back." "Of course! She's your mate, what did you expect?" He asked, his eyes scanning how disoriented I was. "You didn't want harm to come to her, but with the way you're going? You're bringing harm to her." "You can scold me later. Do you know where she went?" "No, we'll find her, don't worry," he assured, moving away from where he had pulled me into."I'm sorry, did you happen to
Raze's POVI sat down on my throne, laughing at the woman who stood in front of me. She was old, holding a staff that looked like a stick I didn't understand."You come to tell me I'll be defeated? Who is there to stop me?" I asked, laughing at the look on her face."Don't say I didn't warn you! Everything you think you have now will vanish, and the men you think will stand by you, will–" "Take her away!" I gestured to one of the men who was there. He was always standing by my side to guide me.She didn't even flinch, watching me with a strong look on her face as she was being dragged away from the Packhouse."Today is the full moon, I would need a good woman in my bed tonight," I told one of my advisers before walking to my room.The night came faster than I expected it, and I could only smile at what was going on. The moon shone in the sky, and my men were busy having fun. They were all at the dinner table, drunk. Somewhere guiding the Packhouse, but they had their fair share of f
Britney's POVI opened my eyes, and by the time I turned around, I saw him behind me. He was so handsome, and my heart skipped a beat when I heard him groan. I immediately laid back down, pretending like I was asleep.He groaned for a long time, rubbing his head until he saw me right next to him.He frowned, but then he shook his head and got out of bed.I felt my heart broken, and I jumped out of bed to hold his arm."Mate, where are you going?" "Mate, with you?" He raised her brow and then pulled out his hand from mine."What do you mean by that?" He glared at me. However, before we could continue, we heard Reena's scream."Reena!" We both called and dashed out of the room, not caring if we weren't wearing clothes.When we got to the room, Reena was on the ground, and blood trailed down her head.She was crying, and her tears were fixed with her blood. "Logan, Logan is going to die if you don't help him. My baby isn't going to see his father. Please…" she rushed towards Caleb.She
Caleb's POVI headed out and took some documents with me. It was the document that I was supposed to hand to the beta, and thereafter, I asked him to join me for a drink."We have lots of work to do. If we can get it done, then I might be able to accompany you for a drink." He hesitated. "Alpha, I bought something for you both." It was my Beta's wife. She smiled, and then she dropped the breakfast she had prepared."Umm, Christine. Would you mind if I went for a drink with your mate?" I asked with raised brows, and despite all the signs her husband gave her, she still agreed to what I said. "Babe!" He yelled, and she giggled and then left us to do some work."How could you make my wife agree to what you want?" He growled while going through the document."I guess she respects me more." I teased and continued doing our work.We spent the rest of the noon working, and later that evening, we went to the bar where I drank like never before."What about that girl we brought to the pack h
Britney's POV"Shut up, and prove it, whore!" He yelled at me in anger, and that made me feel sad. My heart felt broken, and I felt like what he called me.I wasn't normally affected by people's words, but it seemed like today was the day that his words ate into me deeply. "Reena…" I tried to run towards her, but he held me back, yelling at me not to show my face to his sister."Please, it's about Alpha Logan. I'm not joking. The moon goddess brought me back to life. His in trouble, please you need to help him, his dying." I noticed Reena's eyes, she still loved him. But Caleb was Ridgid. He didn't want me to come close to Reena."Take her away from hers, I don't want her coming close to my sister, or me!"He gritted his teeth, his strong arms held my shoulders tightly all to push me away."Take her away!" He held, but then some of the elders that had been formed told him she couldn't stay with the Beta. "The beta cannot accept her because he has a family. He's married, but you're
Caleb's POV"Alpha, there's something you have to see." I widened my eyes when I heard what he said.My brows furrowed when I asked him if it was really that important. "Alpha, it has to do with a body, you have to see this. I cannot identify the body." There was a loud thud in my heart when I heard what he said. I wondered how a body could be in our Pack's border. It was so far away from the Pack's, and the closest pack was the one where I got the supply."What boarder.?" Our pack wasn't a little one. We were privileged to dominate a large number of lands, allowing us to have three borders."The eastern one." He was pretty much clear, and without wasting time, I rushed out of there and went back to my apartment. My car was at my place.I wondered what would happen to the body at the border, and I was worried about it too. I didn't know what would happen if I found out that the body belonged to someone from my pack.However, the guard who mindlinked me told me he couldn't recognis
Reena's POVI cried when I saw how my brother turned his back on me. He walked away without even taking a glance at my baby. Caleb was never like this. He was kind, loving, and good. However, what Logan did to me hurt him. "Are you alright?" The midwife who had been in the bathroom the whole while heard everything that happened."I don't know what to feel, I'm…" I trailed off as tears trickled down my eyes."You both need to come to an understanding. He cares for you, or else he wouldn't save you. Your mate didn't find out what happened and placed you in jail, that was cruel." I understood what the lady meant, but I still loved him. I wish she would understand what happened. "You need to rest. That's what you need now. Let those worries pass, okay?" I nodded to her words as she helped me up to the bed. I was tired, and my breast hadn't produced milk for my baby yet, so the midwife told me she would feed him the baby formula."Okay." She was right. Now that she mentioned it, I real
Logan's POVI sat down in my cell, thinking about everything that had happened. It had been days since Raze's empire began, and I had started missing Reena.Caleb was nowhere to be found, almost like they knew this would happen.My heart thudded in my chest while pain washed over me. I was stupid to ignore my mate. Now it was all clearing up in my head. I had chased away the love of my life.I stroked my chin. "I need an escape plan." At that moment, the prison doors opened, and the rays of the sun pierced into my eyes.I covered my eyes with my palms, but that didn't stop the pain from the bright light."Let go of us, let go!" Those voices sounded familiar, causing tingles in my ears."The elders?" I recognized three voices and in an instant, my cell was opened. No doubt I could have attacked the guards, but I was chained by the hands and feet.I growled, shock showing in my eyes when I saw them there. I never expected that they would end up like this. It was shocking how everything
Raze's POVA satisfactory smile was plastered on my lips when I came out of the cell. My plan worked like crazy. All these while they thought I was crazy, but I was building an army within the Pack's walls. I was going to make sure my plan goes down."You, make sure no one brings him food or water. Whoever does that should be killed for going against my orders, is that clear?"He nodded to my Alpha. "Yes, alpha." He replied, and then I walked away from there. I had unfinished business in my room that I needed to handle.I walked into the quiet Packhouse, and when I got to my door, I inhaled the scent of the one person I locked in there. "Hmmm." I scoffed, opening the door to see her seating. The room was out with scented candles, and the windows were locked to create that steaming effect."What the heck is your problem, let me go!" She yelled, but I laughed.She spoke boldly, yet there was a hint of her. Her heart was drumming loudly in her chest, and she tried hard to get free from
Reena's POV"Stop it, Caleb, how many times do I have to tell you? I can't do what you're asking me to do!" The anger in his eyes was real, but I still wouldn't say yes to his request. He was asking me to do one of the meanest things, what am I going to do now? He was my senior brother, but I was now big enough to do things for myself."You have to get rid of that monster's baby!" It broke my heart to see him call my mate a monster. This had been our back, and forth for almost a month. He had been telling me to get rid of the child that grew inside of me."I won't!" I yelled, trying to rush away from his home when he grabbed my shoulders. He turned me around, and inscrase his grasp on my shoulder.Wincing in pain, I asked him to let me go, but then he began to give me reasons as always."He abandoned you, he didn't believe you, and he locked you in a cell. What other proof do you need from him?" He died with raised eyebrows However, my will to keep the baby only grew stronger. Thi
