KAYLA'S POVThat very question could not leave my mind. The last time I checked, I did not have such a relationship with my step-sister. Why would she come to this place to visit me? It was not out of care or love. There was something fishy about the visit. "I don't understand," I said to Chloe. "What do you mean by that?" Chloe arched her brows at me. I asked a question that had no sense in it. She just told me that I had a visitor and even went on to say this person's name. What was left for me to do was to go out there immediately and see for myself who had come to visit me. "What do you mean you don't understand?" Chloe replied to my question with her question. "The girl is waiting for you. She simply told me her name. She said if I mentioned her name to you, that you would know her immediately." Of course, I knew her. Why would I not recognize the name of my evil stepsister? Even if I were to forget any other name, I would not forget Adire and Kate. Those people showed me wha
ALPHA ZEUS' POVA new day had come already. It was probably the longest wait of my life so far. After Maxwell passed the information from the First Lady to me regarding the car that the mystery guy had driven that night into the hotel, my heart began to beat again. I was never totally relaxed with the information Maxwell had given me. Anything was possible in the world we live in. And being a werewolf even made it more possible for Maicon to do some strange things. The pictures could have been forged. That was just one side of it. It was still possible that the CCTV cameras there were manipulated to play one thing over and over again. Knowing how bad my brother could be, I could not readily rest on the fact that he was being watched. He could have turned everyone over there to his side. If that were to be the case, then he was already an Alpha to those people. It was very clear in my head. I could recall vividly the day he was banished. The beginning of it was the very moment our f
Alpha Zeus’ POVFirst Lady chuckled at the innocent question. She knew better than Maxwell what sort of a person Maicon was. "Trust me, Maxwell," she replied on my behalf,"you really don't want to have anything to do with this dude." "This just got more interesting," Maxwell said. It gave me concern. If he should tread wrongly and find himself blocking Maicon's path, he would definitely be dead before I come to save him. "One piece of advice for you, Maxwell," First Lady continued. "Don't try anything funny with Maicon. Alpha Zeus might not be there in time to save your ass." After a few more minutes of active drive,we started heading into the outskirt of the city. This had to be a proper place for Maicon to come and nest. It would be difficult for anyone to track him down to this location, except for a powerful figure like me. Soon, we got to a relaxation house sighted far from anyone. "We are here," Maxwell said. "I believe this is the location we tracked down." First Lady lo
KAYLA'S POVIt was a fight with myself that lasted through the night before I made up my mind on the decision to visit my stepmom. Any other person would probably wish for her to die faster. After all, her death would mean that I didn't have to be worried about whatever headache she might want to bring later on. But that was not me. Kayla has no guts to wish death for her stepmom. The look on Adire’s face when she told me about the supposed imminent death of my stepmom, looked too real to have been faked by her. Of course, no normal person would lie about a thing like that. Nothing was impossible for those two witches, though. But I still would not be able to forgive myself if anything ended up happening to her. I grabbed my purse and took a glance at myself in the mirror. I was set to go. "What if this is another ploy by them?" My wolf, Elena, whispered to me. That could be true. But I already debated this topic through the night. There was no need to revisit it. "Come on, Ele
ALPHA ZEUS' POVLater that day, when night had fallen, we started heading back to my home. In a very long while, I had never been this infuriated. I was burning on the inside. I could feel the heat from my breath. But it was even more terrible to consider the fact that there was no one to vent my anger on. I could not readily burst out. Normally, in times past, I would find my way to a boxing ring and have the fiercest fighter there engage in a fight with me. But it was no use. I ended up sending many of them to the hospitals. Maicon was right within my reach. But I could not lay my hands on him. He played me. I felt like a fool. It was foolish to think of what had happened. I thought I was smart enough. I felt I was powerful enough. How could I not have sensed his presence? How was I not able to hear his movements in time? In fact, at the time I heard the movement, it was obvious he wanted me to hear it and know he had been there. Maicon was simply proving to me that he was still ah
Alpha Zeus’ POVI knocked again and pressed the bell at the same time. When no response came, I assumed she was deep in her sleep. Maybe I should just go and give her a call later to know how she was. No! I would not call her. She would get the wrong idea. I was just about to turn and walk away from the door when I heard a click. Oh, it appeared she heard the knock. I stopped and positioned myself properly. But when the door opened, a wave of confusion swept right across my face. A lady, who was not by any means Kayla, stepped out of the room. On seeing me, she tilted her head down in a low bow. That was something Kayla might have sworn that come rain come shine, she would not do for me. She was just someone who had no slightest, not even the faintest trace of fear for me. "Alpha Zeus Ludendorff, I greet you." I studied her for a short while. I could not recollect anywhere in my thoughts that the room Kayla stayed in would be changed. So, who was this person and what was she doing
KAYLA'S POVWhen it was morning, I had no idea. I slept all through the night. I could not help myself yesterday. I could not bring myself to believe that I had been fooled again by my stepmom and stepsister. The two were playing with my emotions. I thought I was now a tough girl. It didn't even take Adire much time to break through my walls and ruin my day. It only cost her fake tears. I had been deceived, totally fooled by the tears I saw escaping her eyes yesterday. Chloe tried to warn me. But I acted as if I was smart enough. It ended up landing me in a bigger mess. If I had listened to Elena, I would not have had to suffer the hurt I went through. After the incident with my stepmom and stepsister, I had to stop by a roadside joint and drink a couple of bottles. They were enough to get me to forget my sorrows, even if it lasted for just a night. I turned on the bed and dragged the bedspread over me. I slowly opened my eyes to be welcomed to reality by a head-splitting ache. It
ALPHA ZEUS' POVI had a very stern glare that passed a proper message to Maxwell. Kayla was off-limits. He had no right to look at her sexually. Maybe I was being too protective of her. I found myself always worrying about her. I cared about her well-being more than any other person. Could this be love? Was I growing a soft spot for her in my heart? That would not be possible."I am sorry, Alpha Zeus," Maxwell apologized to me. "You should not be directing that to me," I said curtly and returned to my seat. "I believe you know better who to direct your apology to." I threw a glance at Kayla. She had a very cold expression on her face. Did she hate me that much? The thought of what the First Lady said last night flashed to me. "Kayla isn't a fan of yours..""Uhm. Ma'am Kayla, I sincerely apologize for—" "Mtcheew!!" Kayla drew a long sigh in the air and disappeared from the living room. "Oh, that didn't go as planned," I said and reclined. "She disappeared. Did you guys fight?" M
ALPHA ZEUS' POVKayla? Why would he want to talk about her? I felt my hand almost slipping away from his collar. But my curiosity kicked in. I grabbed him tightly again. "What do you mean to say?" I queried in a thick tone. I hated the fact he even mentioned her name. "I can't talk if you keep acting this way. Everyone will think we are about to have a fight, Zeus." "I don't give a damn what anyone thinks. I just need to hear what you have to say." "Hmm," he exhaled heavily. "Get your hands off me first. Then, I will say what I have to say." I glared into his eyes for a good while before letting go of his collar. "Please, have a seat," he said and settled down. I hesitantly did the same thing. I was on edge. All I needed was to hear the reason for which he had to mention her name. "I'm listening," I said. "Spill everything you have to say." "Do you want a drink?" He asked. I shut my eyes and opened it. A new flash of anger was in them. "Are you just going to beat about the b
ALPHA ZEUS' POVMy eyes were grim and rusty from the anger that boiled in my body. I sat in the back of my black SUV with an expression that screamed a great deal of impatience. I stole a glance at the screen of my watch. It was already about fifteen minutes before it was eight. "Get this shit going faster!" I yelled at the driver. "Sorry, Alpha," he said in a fearful tone. "I'm already speeding more than necessary for safety." I smirked at him. "Are you trying to school me here?" I asked in a thick tone. "I'm sorry. I won't do it again." In that instant, he got the wheels rolling faster. I winded down the glass and had the fast blowing breeze brush against my contorted face. I was boiling and greatly needed a way to cool off. I shut my eyes and tried to coop off. But it was not working out. The moment I shut my eyes, other strange thoughts started to go through my head. What could they have talked about? I could not stop wondering what Maicon had been saying to Kayla that made
ALPHA ZEUS' POVI was pacing quietly in my room when my eyes caught something in the premises. I paused my movement and drew close enough to the window. Then, I saw it clearly. The very reason for which I was pacing was just there. Damn it! Kayla was driving me crazy. She defied my orders. I was very direct when I warned her not to have anything to do with Maicon. But she would not listen. She was obviously bent on driving me to the end of my limits. What was Maicon looking for? What did he want with her? My thoughts could not stop running wild. I was ready to face whatever package Maicon returned with. I was waiting for him to make the move once again. Only then would it be justifiable for me to attack him. But with Kayla in the picture, my jealousy was getting the better side of me. I thought of going down there and drag her all the way up to my room and have her warned again. But I could not make the move. I just could not do that. Maicon was obviously trying to get into her head.
KAYLA'S POVMaicon, without a doubt, acted like he was some kind of devil on his own. The way he showed up was always baffling. I was in shock again, just like the time he stood before me two days ago. "Hello, Kayla," he said with a familiar grin. "Good morning." "Good..good morning," I reciprocated his greeting. I was disoriented and needed to get my composure back. "Kayla, who's there?" I heard First Lady ask me. "Is everything okay?" "It appears you are with someone," Maicon said calmly. "Am I interrupting?" "Kayla, who's it?" First Lady asked as she pulled the door open wide enough. "Oh my… Maicon," she said and giggled half-heartedly. "Hello, First Lady," he said. "How long has it been since I saw you?""That should be a couple of days ago, at the event," First Lady replied. Maicon scoffed. "Well, the last I remember is kind of more awkward. It was not so pleasant. Do you remember?" I could sense the atmosphere of the place getting stirred up. First Lady appeared to know
KAYLA'S POVFor the next two days, I could not find the appetite to eat properly. I was always locked up in my room doing just one thing. And that was to cry as much as I could. I simply wanted to cry my heart out. It was hurtful. The more I tried to endure, the more the tears flowed. I could not help it. Even after I got rejected by Diego, it didn't hurt so badly. But somehow, it hurt so terribly that I wondered if I was going to live through it. Despite everything Alpha Zeus Ludendorff was doing to me, I still had the growing urge to love him more. I was helpless. Hating him was not possible. I already tried that. I got up from my bed and walked to the mirror. I was already a shadow of myself. My eyes were all swollen. Anyone who saw me would definitely know that I had cried my entire being out. Nothing was left. Yet, the attraction I felt towards him did not fade away. I asked myself why a couple of times. It made no sense. The Alpha showed me nothing but his mean side always. Wa
ALPHA ZEUS' POVI was angry and scared at the same time. Seeing my brother sitting that close to Kayla got me very angry. I was concerned for her safety. Perhaps, it was beyond just being concerned about her safety. I clearly saw a glimpse of smile and joy on her face the very moment we got here. That was something she never really gave to me. With Maicon, she seemed to be relaxed. And that was frustrating for me. At first, when I heard she left the premises, I felt bad. My fears were yet to kick in. But on knowing that it was Maicon who had made my men go against the clear orders which I had given to them, my anxieties creeped up to my throat. He obviously pulled that off so he would be able to approach her closely outside my watch. Damn it!"Hello, brother," Maicon said and got up to his feet. "I was not speaking to you!" I replied to his gesture in a fiery tone. "Come on, Zeus," he said. "you don't have to be on edge. Calm your nerves." What? Calm my nerves? Why was he acting to
KAYLA'S POVIt felt as if time had come to a sudden pause. My phone was still glued to my ear but my eyes were fixed on the devil standing in front of me. Maicon! What was he doing here? Could he have followed me all the way to this place? The thoughts of everything started running through my mind all at the same time again. The rear was that he would come for me the very moment he returned. But wait! That would only be the case if he was the guy I practiced my seduction test on. But if it was not him,why would he care to get involved in my affairs?"Kayla," the voice of Chloe called me through the phone. "Kayla. Kayla." I was lost. I could not even speak. I was just looking at him as if I had seen a ghost. "Kayla, are you there?" Chloe asked again. A smile crossed the lips of Maicon. "Are you not going to respond to her?" He asked me. He was talking about Chloe. Oh yeah! I literally forgot that he was a wolf and had his way of hearing the faintest sounds. I became even more scare
KAYLA'S POVI was transfixed at a spot. It felt as if I had been injected with a paralysis poison. I fought hard to see if it was a mere dream. Who knows, I might just be sleepwalking. It was not real. It didn't have to be. Alpha Zeus Ludendorff flashed his eyes at me. Those deep eyes of his seemed to be staring right into my soul. He was not bothered by my presence."Alpha… Alpha Zeus Ludendorff," I said in a shaky tone. He said nothing. He simply pulled out of the whore and pushed his cock into his tight boxers. Then, he turned to me. For a while, I forgot that I was in shock of what I saw. My eyes at that point were glued on the cock that seemed to be desperately fighting to escape the prison of the boxers. The tip was visible through the corner. It was that long. "What are you doing here?" He asked me in a firm tone. "And why didn't you knock , at least?" Hearing him speak, I was drawn back to my reality. The lady he was with curled herself and looked at me in a manner that cle
KAYLA'S POVThe next morning, I was still not able to get a hold of myself. Everything seemed to be working desperately against me. I could not get my mind off the reason for which Diego pulled off the stunt that he pulled last night. I was restless. Alpha Zeus Ludendorff did not have to see something like that. He could have simply taken a little more time to barge in. By then, I would have pushed the bastard son of a bitch away from me. Everything seemed planned to me. It was not a coincidence that he was there. How did he even get to know about the welcoming party that was to take place? Besides, that place was the hidden venue of the darkest moon pack— a place that was kept sacred from the touches of modern civilization for many years. But somehow, he got to be in there and lured me out by using a little boy. But where were they all at that time? Neither Maxwell, First Lady, not even the Alpha himself was anywhere to be seen at the time. "You should apologize to him," my wolf whi
