VICTORIABefore I knew it, he threw a punch at me, and, unfortunately, the punch landed on my nose. "Arrghhhh," I groaned as I felt immense pain.Instead of showing concern, he just ignored me and scoffed. "Let's do this," I said, frowning, my face now becoming serious as he threw a punch at me. His hands alone were so heavy that he might overpower me, but I breathed in and twisted his arm like he said. "Nice one. Let's do this three more times," Brendon said as I sighed. After we did it about three times, I was already exhausted, but I was interested in learning more."Anytime you twist an enemy's arm the way I just taught you, don't just wait until he strikes back. Release a punch or hit his arm to save yourself some time," Brendon explained more, but I didn't understand what he just said. He turned to the training ground and called one of his warriors. "Raymond, come here for a minute," Alpha Brendon called, and he rushed here. "I need to show her something," he said as he thre
"Surprised? But are you sure she's safe now, Brendon?" He muttered as he laughed like a devil, trying to get the upper hand.Ifelt a cold rage build inside me, and I turned back to face him. For the first time in my life, I felt nervous. I could feel my wolf stirring, demanding to be let out to attack Arturo. How the hell did he find out she's my Luna? I didn't tell anyone about this. Even John didn't know until today."You have no idea what you've just done, you just made a grave mistake, Arturo. You don't want to mess with me or my Luna. I'll make sure you regret this," I said, my eyes blazing with fury, my teeth grounding hard against each other. My hands clenched into fists at my sides, and my eyes burned with fury. I took a step closer to him, towering over him as I continued."You touch a single hair on her head, and I'll make you regret it for the rest of your miserable life."Arturo chuckled, unfazed by my threats. "Oh, Alpha," he said, leaning back in his seat. "You alwa
BRENDON Immediately after I left, an image of what I did flashed in my head. Back in the villa, when I stood up to confront him, I stealthily planted an audio recorder beneath the table where Arturo was sitting. I couldn't stand by and watch him make fun of me. I listened to the recording through the airpod in my ear, and found out where Arturo's brother was going. I signaled my men, Kale, Zik, Harris, and Bena, about the development.When we got in the car, we tracked him down and caught him. "Get out! How dare you! You don't know who I am!" he roared in anger, struggling hard as we threw him into the trunk. "Take him to the basement. You know where. Then wait for me," I ordered the boys."But, alpha, how will you get home? You can't just walk, and it's dangerous," Kale said, sounding concerned. I smiled and shook my head. "Don't worry. Beta John will come and pick me up. You just make sure he doesn't escape, and be careful. You know how sneaky he is." Kale nodded his head, g
VICTORIALike, really? This was my first time torturing someone like me. It was uncalled for. Deep down, I don't like it. I know he deserves more than death, but jeez, I don't have the courage for it. I hesitated when he asked me to stab his leg, My hands trembling as I held the knife, but I brushed aside the thought that it was evil and did it.Suddenly, John appeared out of nowhere. I never expected him to be here, and he looks so excited."John, show him the perfect gift I prepared for him," Alpha Brendon said with a cold smile. I was curious what the surprise gift was.I watched as John connected the laptop and opened a video of a lady and a child. Three soldiers pointed guns at them, and they froze in fear.And behold, the lady was someone I never expected to see. My heart sank when I saw her face clearly; it was my sister Josephine. How could this be? Josephine, my sister? Oh no! This isn't what I bargained for. How is this possible? My sister Josephine is now between life an
"No!" Hardin and I screamed together as Brendon looked at my anxious face. He was stunned by what he had just heard, but I ignored him. Even Hardin had not expected me to scream with him. He looked at me from head to toe with a confused expression."Please don't touch them. I will tell you where all your documents are, but first tell your hungry, bloodthirsty men to take their guns away from their faces," Hardin pleaded. Brendon scoffed and signaled to John, who then informed his men to drop their guns."See? Now speak, and don't dare make a smart move," Brendon ordered in a cold voice as he cleared his throat. I gasped."Code 1256 is in Arturo's safe. Check there to see all your documents that are kept there. Now, can you tell your men to get the hell out of my house?" He said angrily."How can I be so sure of that, Hardin? I have trust issues," Brendon said."I'm fucking serious!!!" Hardin yelled loudly as Brendon smiled and signaled to his favorite and smart beta, John, to go get i
We have been waiting for John for almost three hours now, but he still hasn't arrived. Time was passing by quickly, and I was becoming increasingly nervous. I am still in shock and have not been able to recover yet.I noticed Brendon staring at me, and it seemed like he had been doing so for a while. His gaze was intense, and it made me uncomfortable. I know lots of questions are running through his mind as to how I knew Hardin's wife, Josephine, and his kid. But I was not sure whether now was the time to say anything cos of how tense the atmosphere seemed.So, I looked away because looking directly into his eyes only made me more anxious.As I watched the video of my sister crying on her knees, I felt a deep pang of sadness hit me. Her husband was also watching her on the laptop, and it was clear that he cared for her deeply. However, I couldn't help but wonder what kind of partner he was to put her through such hardship.I always wished for my sister, Josephine, to lead a life
As he turned to face me, I rose from my seat, consumed by anger. "Victoria, your capacity for emotional expression is what I detest," he remarked. I retorted, my fury palpable, "Do you wish to transform me into a monster like yourself?" He casually resumed his meal, smirking in response. "Monster, you say? Why employ such a term? Are your nerves beginning to fray?" I slowly sank back into my chair, bewildered by my sudden outburst. "Victoria, are you well? Remember, you were addressing Brendon, not some random individual," Rina inquired anxiously. I closed my eyes and sighed, realizing my vexation was due to Josephine's fabricated soulmate. Although Josephine had surpassed the age of discovering her mate, I remained optimistic that she would eventually find him. I merely hoped he would not prove to be ineffectual. "I apologize for my outburst. I did not intend to label you a monster. I was simply frustrated with everything," I pleaded, averting my gaze as he held a glass of wine.
BRENDONI was engaged in a delightful conversation with Victoria until beta John interrupted our meal, beckoning me to follow him to my office. As I trailed behind him, I couldn't help but wonder what he wanted to show me."So, what is it that you need me to see?" I inquired as we arrived at my office.John handed me his phone, stating, "I would have shown you this in the dining room, but it's better if we discuss this in private." As I watched the video, I was perplexed by the voice's cold and calculated tone. "Brendon, you're nothing but a bastard! I don't have much to say to you, but you made a grave mistake keeping me alive. I just found out that your Luna is living with you. How amusing it will be! Be warned, prepare for war!" The voice threatened.I was confounded by the video's bluntness and the voice's artificial quality. "Who would dare to threaten me with such a cheap trick?" I scoffed, tossing the phone aside. John picked it up, visibly upset."Alpha, Victoria's life is in
"Who's that?" That voice was really coming from John, immediately I made the pole stand and walked hastily downstairs.I succeeded in coming out of the room but he had come out of his room already, I ran my hands in my hair and entered my room then began to dress for work. At Least no one would suspect me, I would use this style and pretend that I'm going to work.I looked at myself in the mirror after I had dressed up with my suit and a ponytail styled hair. I came out of the room and took my breakfast then strolled towards my car, goodness I wondered why I felt so tired. Maybe it's the symptoms of pregnancy, I would be getting tired really often.After I reached the company I came down from the car and walked into the main building.Everyone bowed as I walked past them and also greeted them, I just gave a wide smile and that's all. When I reached my office, all of the colleagues present in the department stood up on their feet and bowed their heads.I was surprised by this warm
She rolled her eyes at me, as I could tell that she was already angry with what I just said and I didn't give a damn."And what makes you think you are special? You are no better than me dear, don't think I betrayed you, I mean it's not my fault that Mike was my mate and you caught us having sex, isn't that what mates should do?" I do really understand what she is trying to do, make me annoyed and trigger my dreadful past, and she succeeded.Remembering my past is like hitting my chest on a wooden table, it's something I do really wish never to recall.I shook my head of the thoughts, it's very wrong of me trying to bring the past to a clean present and a bright future. I mean that is stupid of me, even my pup won't like it, thank goodness i met my real mate, I wonder what kind of mess I will be now. "Your betrayal thought me a fatal lesson Tiff, and thanks for that, it changes me and opened my eyes, I wish you happy life in your marriage with my ex husband or sorry, ex husband to
"Moses, are you alright?" I asked with concern laced in my voice as he was taken back and checked his eyes on the transparent window.Then he shook his head as he opened his eyes again then he turned to me, it was gone already, back to his normal eyes. This shit is scary."I'm okay though, my eyes change every time, but not frequently" he said as I nodded my head."Victoria, you should.take rest" he paused and continued. "And you" referring to the maid. "Make sure you go buy fruits, we are expecting an heir" he said as he bowed her head then he left, I didn't know why that made me smile. An heir? Without a loving father? "Ma'am" she came closer to me and tapped my shoulders."You shouldn't worry about Brendon at all, and focus on your child, I'm sure he is going to feel it and come back home...""It still baffles me, he doesn't pick my calls and he doesn't...""No, Victoria don't let that way you down, be happy you have a little one inside of you, a little Victoria in there, the r
John's pov "Listen to me, I'll be back okay?" He said with hastiness in his voice as she nodded her head. He ran out of the apartment As he entered his car and zoomed off. He began to call Brendon but he wasn't picking up his call, he got angry as she slammed his hand on the steering wheel. When he reached the hospital he came down and rushed inside the building as soon as he sighted Moses he ran to his place."How is she now, what even happened?" I asked as he ran his hands into his hair, he then sighed before he responded"She is pregnant" He released the bombshell as I opened my eyes widely.I really couldn't believe it and how was I going to tell Brendon about this news? "She fainted, so I took her to the hospital and this was the news I heard" "How do you think Brendon will take the news?" "What do you mean by that? Victoria is not a wore, and I'm definitely sure Brendon would accept it but though it's too soon" "So where is she now?" I asked as he pointed at the room o
I sat frozen for a moment, my mind racing with questions. Who was this person? What were their intentions?But I couldn't stop now, not when I was so close to uncovering the truth.I knew I had to tell Anita, the secretary and confidante. But as soon as I mentioned the news, she shook her head vigorously, her eyes wide with disbelief. "No, that can't be possible! No one can change the rules, but is there a problem?" she exclaimed, her voice tinged with panic.I tried to calm her down, to explain the situation in detail. But the more I spoke, the more anxious she became. I could see the worry etched on her face, the way her hands shook as she reached for a pen to take notes.But then I had a sudden realization. What if telling Anita was a mistake? What if I was putting her in danger? I needed to protect her, even if it meant keeping the truth from her."I think it's best if I leave now," I said softly, standing up from my chair. "If anyone asks about our conversation, maybe Moses can
As I looked at her, I could see the shock written all over her face. Her eyes widened, and her mouth formed a small "o" as if she had just seen a ghost. I felt a surge of anger rising within me. I wanted to send her out of my office right away, but I knew it would make me look childish. Instead, I decided to use her as a scapegoat.She had the audacity to challenge Victoria Luza in the hallway, as if she had any power in this company. I could hear her voice echoing through the corridor, threatening to make my life a living hell. I couldn't believe the nerve of this woman.But now the tables had turned. I was the one in charge, and I would make sure she regretted ever crossing me. I smiled to myself as I thought of the ways I could make her suffer.As I watched her standing there, so clueless and ignorant, I couldn't help but feel a sense of disgust. People like her, with such low intelligence and lack of decorum, deserved to be put in their place."You can take your leave now, Anita,"
I rushed to her place and threw a punch at the man, he tried to punch me back but I used my wolf powers to fling him to the floor. He groaned in pain as I breathed heavily and grabbed her hands, leading her quickly to the car. She sat down, already scared. "Are you okay?" I asked. She nodded silently. I opened the door and she climbed in. I wanted to ask her who the man was but I held back, knowing it might remind her of her past. Her tears told me there was no need to disturb her further with questions. I started the car and drove back to the apartment, sighing as I climbed out. I opened her door and helped her step out, then led her inside. Once we were safely in the apartment, I spoke gently.As she reached for the groceries bag, I instinctively held on tight. "No, it's fine sir," she insisted. But I couldn't let her carry the heavy load alone. Without a word, I took the bag and walked her to her doorstep. Opening the door for her, I followed her inside and headed straight to
"What?" she exclaimed loudly, her voice cracking as tears streamed down her face. She grabbed my collar and slammed me against the wall, her fingers digging into my flesh. I tensed up, ready to defend myself, but I knew I couldn't hurt Brendon."Where the fuck is he?" she spat with malice, her eyes blazing with anger. She tightened her grip on my collar, pulling me closer to her face. I could feel her hot breath on my skin.I sighed sadly, my shoulders slumping. I knew I couldn't tell her where Brendon was. He was at a hotel, but I didn't want to risk angering my sister and ruining our relationship."I don't know, sis I'm telling you the truth " I said, my voice barely above a whisper. I could feel her rage building, her body trembling with fury. She pushed me away from her, sending me sprawling on the ground."Who the fuck is your sister?" she snapped, towering over me. "A quick reminder, little boy: I am your queen. Don't fuck with me. How can you not know where he is?" She turned t
"This can't be happening. Am I dreaming?" I muttered under my breath, trying to make sense of what was unfolding before me.Out of nowhere, my sister Josephine threw a handful of sand at my face and took off running into the nearby woods. The shock of the attack left me weak and I stumbled, falling to the ground as I tried to clear the sand from my eyes."Josephine?" I screamed as I let out a cry of despair. This wasn't the life I wanted for her. How had she become an assassin? She was supposed to be in Germany with her abusive husband, and I had promised to save her before I was forced to flee to New York. Why was life so unfair to us?As I watched Josephine's swift movements, I couldn't help but notice how she moved with the precision of a trained killer. Who had turned her into this? What was their endgame? I shuddered at the thought.Suddenly, I remembered a conversation I had with Ralph, and a sense of dread washed over me. He had known Josephine's true purpose all along and had
