Alpha Max couldn't keep his eyes off Rosana during the banquet, the way she swayed her hips as she moved from table to table serving the guests drew him in, he wanted her and so did his wolf.
“This banquet is in honor of your tenth anniversary as Alpha, Max, why are you so distracted?” Luna Anna whispered gently to him, a smile playing on her lips as her eyes traced Max's gaze to see what was distracting him.
Alpha Max cleared his throat and shifted his gaze from Rosana to meet Luna Anna's eyes, flashing her a smile. "I'm not distracted, my love. I'm simply making sure all of our guests are looked after," he reassured her.
Luna Anna smiled with one corner of her lips, she knew Alpha Max was lying, his eyes were on Rosana, his fated mate whom he had rejected.
“The guests are well taken care of Alpha, you don't need to worry yourself,” she said, giving him a gentle pat on the shoulder, a subtle warning for him to behave himself.
Alpha Max understood what Anna was saying though she spoke no words, he knew her enough to know she was warning him to behave himself.
“The pianist plays so well,” he said, commending the pianist who was playing at the banquet, trying to change the conversation.
“Yes, I brought him in from the human world, he is quite famous among them,” Luna Anna explained.
“Pour me a drink, Rosana,” Beta Drake called out Rosana from his table right beside Alpha Max and Luna Anna.
“Yes, Beta,” Rosana answered as she moved to his side, pouring him a drink,”
“Do you want a drink too, my Lord,” Luna Anna asked Alpha Max, tempting him.
“No, I will pass,” Alpha Max said as he shifted uncontrollably in his seat, he could barely control himself whenever Rosana was very close.
“We need to mate her,” he heard Drey, his wolf telling him, he was as impatient as him because he longed for her.
Drey had disapproved of Max choosing Anna and not waiting for their fated mate. Ever since they discovered Rosana was their mate, he desired her.
“My Lord,” Rosana called out to him, bringing him out of his deep thoughts as she added, “Luna Anna ordered me to serve you a drink.”
Alpha Max had been lost in his thoughts and didn't know when Anna had called Rosana, he had said he didn't want a drink so what game was she playing?
“I do not want a drink,” he firmly rejected.
Luna Anna smiled as Rosana bowed and left, she could smell Max's arousal and she knew it wasn't for her, she knew it was a little time before he would give in to his desire and that would allow her to strike.
“I know Drey wants her, Max, you can stop pretending. I'll let you have her so that Drey can satisfy his lust,” Luna said.
“Liar!” Drey called out.
“Anna, I am fine, I chose you, I cannot mate with a low half-breed omega like Rosana, Drey had adjusted and accepted you,” Alpha Max said, sounding as reassuring as he could do.
Luna Anna kept quiet, she knew he was only pretending, Drey would never be okay until Rosana was dead or far away from him.
Luna Anna and Alpha Max enjoyed the rest of the evening, they danced, and everyone toasted to Alpha Max's long reign bringing the party to an end.
“I'll retire to my room now,” Luna Anna said as she yawned.
“Feeling sleepy already,” Alpha Max teased.
“Yes,” Luna Anna replied, placing her hands on his shoulder.
“Goodnight my Luna, thank you for being by my side these past ten years, I would not have been able to achieve all of this without you,” Alpha Max appreciated Anna, placing a kiss on Luna Anna's lip.
“I'll do anything for you, Max,” Luna Anna said, smiling as she played with his hair.
“I have some unfinished business to attend to with Beta Drake, I'll join you in the room later,”
“Tonight?” Luna Anna asked, frowning a bit.
“Yes, yes, just something minor, don't worry, go and sleep, you have put so much effort into planning this banquet so you need to rest,” Alpha Max smiled, kissing her right cheek.
“All right,” Luna Anna agreed, leaving for her room.
Alpha Max sighed as Anna left, he signaled with his hand for Beta Drake to join him.
“I have some unfinished business to do in my study and I do not want to be disturbed,” Alpha Max said.
“Okay, Noted, is there anything you would like?” Beta Drake asked.
“Send Rosana to my study with some wine,” Alpha Max ordered as he turned to leave.
“All right, she will come right away,” Beta Drake said, bowing as Alpha Max left.
Alpha Max couldn't contain himself any longer, his body burning hot with desire for Rosana. Even though Drey seemed to struggle to restrain himself, Alpha Max feared Drey might lose control and try to claim Rosana for himself if he didn't mate with her tonight.
“Why does he want a drink all alone in his study tonight?” Rosana whispered to herself as she made her way to Alpha Max's study. She had offered to serve him earlier, but he had declined.Alpha Max had rejected her immediately he got to know she was his fated mate but he made sure he kept her around as a servant under his roof.“What does he want with us now?” She said, striking up a conversation with Eva, her wolf. She had named her after her mother.“I could smell his arousal tonight,” Eva said.Rosa raised her eyebrows, “Do you want him?” she asked.“No Rosana, he is a douchebag, he only wants us to fulfill his lust, he doesn't love us,” Eva replied sadly.Rosana could feel the sadness in her wolf, she had been rejected the same day she had awakened causing immense heartache for her.Rosana hesitated when she got to Alpha Max's study, she stood at the door wondering if she should just defy his order and leave. He had made several attempts to get her in the past but she had always
“Babe, what are you doing here,” Alpha Max asked, shaking in fear.“I couldn't sleep so I decided to come and keep you company,” Luna Anna replied, her gaze on Rosana who was half naked.“Good timing, I was about to call Beta Drake to come and take this slut away, you would not believe she came in here and tried to seduce me,” Alpha Max lied. He had secured his position as Alpha with the assistance of Anna's father, and he certainly didn't want to get on Anna's bad side due to his inability to control his lust.Luna Anna smiled, she knew Max was lying through his teeth but this was exactly what she wanted, to catch them in a situation where she could have something to hold against Rosana.“You came here to seduce my man?” Luna Anna asked in disbelief, deciding to play along.Rosana could not dare tell Luna Anna that Alpha Max was lying, it was a grave offense to accuse one's Alpha of dishonesty, so she was overwhelmed with tears, feeling trapped in a difficult situation.“Ben, come i
It took Rosana a few minutes to calm down after getting in the car. She was still scared from what had just happened, knowing the bullet could have hit her if she hadn't gotten into the car quickly. Blood seeped from her shoulder where the bullet had grazed her. The driver retrieved a bottle of whiskey from his car's safe and approached Rosana, who flinched when he stretched his hands.“It will stop the bleeding and prevent it from festering,” he explained.Rosana closed her eyes allowing the driver to pour the whiskey on her wound. She couldn't help but cry out in pain as the burning liquid stung her injury.When she was calm, she turned to look at who had saved her, she saw a young handsome man with short hair, a short well-trimmed beard, he had broad shoulders, dark eyes, he had tattoos all over his arms, and a diamond stud glittered in his ear lobe, he wore a simple red t-shirt and white shorts but his appearance screamed luxury. “You saved my life,” Rosana said, expressing her
“How could you let her escape,” Luna Anna snapped, expressing her anger at Ben.“She got into a car,” Ben tried to explain.“You had enough time to kill her before she got to the main road, what were you doing?” Luna Anna questioned.“I was about to shoot her when she saw me and she took off running. I couldn't catch up with her in time.”Feeling Irritated by his explanation, Luna Anna slapped him and asked in disbelief, “So a half-breed wolf girl managed to outrun a delta wolf like you?”"I'm sorry, my Luna. I apologize for failing you," Ben expressed remorsefully.“You will go and find Rosana and whoever had helped her and you will kill them both,” Luna Anna commanded.“Yes Luna, I will go and find her, judging by the way the car went, they must have gone to Narvik town, I won't fail you this time,” Ben vowed confidently."You are to come back to this pack only after you have successfully eliminated Rosana and come with proof," she instructed firmly.Ben bowed her head and left.Lun
Nolan arrived at a penthouse and parked the car in the garage, Rosana could not help but marvel at the building. It was modern and sleek, elegantly landscaped with lush greenery creating a sense of luxury and sophistication. They got out of the car and Nolan led the way into the penthouse, as Nolan stepped inside, a fluffy brown dog bounded towards him, its tail wagging enthusiastically. The playful pup greeted him with joyful jumps and slobbery kisses, displaying sheer delight at his arrival."Hey there, Buddy. Yes, yes, I've missed you too," Nolan said warmly as he affectionately patted the dog on the head and gently stroked its soft ears.Nolan showed Rosana around the house and showed her to her room.“Here, this will be your room for the period of your stay in this house,” He said tossing to her the key to the room. “Thank you,” Rosana said, admiring the beautiful furniture and elegant chandeliers in the house. The house was quite big which made her wonder if Nolan was staying
As Rosana opened the door, she was met with the unsettling gaze of a young lady who stared at her from head to toe.Rosana was dripping wet, having hastily left the bathroom without taking the time to dry off."You must be Rosana," the woman said, her disdain evident in her tone.“Yes, I am,” Rosana answered, wondering who the lady was. Rosana could sense from the way the lady spoke to her that she did not like her. “Nolan asked me to give you this,” She said as she handed Rosana a small gift bag.Rosana checked the bag and noticed a pair of trousers and a top nestled within. Taken aback, she turned her gaze toward the lady in astonishment.“He wants you to change into that ” she coldly stated, rolling her eyes.“Thanks,” Rosana said, starting to wonder if Nolan had already picked out clothes for her. Why was this lady speaking so coldly? Could she be Nolan's girlfriend?She gently bowed her head to her and closed the door.***Tessy, the lady who had come to give Rosana clothes, kno
“I will be fine,” Rosana responded.“Buddy will keep you company, he is a very good companion, trust me,” Nolan said, referring to his dog.“She is not a baby, Nolan, let us go,” Tessy scoffed.Nolan smiled, he bid Rosana farewell and went out of the house with Tessy.Nolan drove to a bustling pub in Narvik. As he stepped inside, he was warmly greeted by several familiar faces, to which he responded with a friendly smile.Nolan made his way to the VIP section of the pub, while Tessy joined a group of guys engaged in a card game at a table in the regular section.***Ben got to Narvik town and made his way to the pub where Nolan was. The pub was a well-known establishment in town, attracting people for various purposes and interactions.Ben had gone to the pub to seek assistance from the local gangsters in locating Rosana. As he approached the entrance, his attention was drawn to Nolan's parked car nearby. Approaching the vehicle, he carefully inspected it to confirm it was the same o
“Is she the one?” Joe asked.“Yes,” Ben nodded in agreement before adding, “Let's figure out a way to get her back into the car.”“What about the guy who helped her?” Joe inquired.“I have no business with him, I think he just helped her so he could get in bed with her later, look at what he is doing in the car with the other lady he came home with from the pub” Ben stated.Joe laughed as his mind flashed back to the sight of Nolan and Tessy making love in the car.“How do we take her outside? Should we find a rope to tie her?” Joe asked.Ben effortlessly picked up Rosana who was still unconscious from the floor. “Oh right, I forgot who you are,” Joe said and led the way so he could open the entrance door for Ben.As they reached the door, Joe opened the door and was taken aback to see Buddy once more, barking loudly at them.“We should have taken care of this dog. How did he get here?” Joe exclaimed in frustration as he kicked Buddy with his boots, causing Buddy to whimper in pain.
“Is my money ready?” The kidnapper asked Edward.“Your money is ready,” Edward said.“I will send you the address where you will bring the money. I am sure I don't need to remind you to come alone,” The kidnapper informed.“Alright,” Edward acknowledged.“I hope the money is complete. Let me remind you once again, I am not someone you can try funny business with,” The kidnapper warned.“Your money is complete, I just want my daughter, please,” Edward pleaded.“That depends on how much you cooperate with us,” The kidnapper said and ended the call.“Were you able to track the location he is calling from?” Fred asked one of his guys who was a tracker.“No boss, I tried to but the signal was not very clear,” The guy explained.“He has sent the address where I will drop the money,” Edward informed.“Your daughter might not likely be in that location but we will follow you there and be on the lookout for who will come and pick up the money then we can trace them back to the location where t
Fred puffed out the smoke from the pipe in his mouth as a bouncer whispered something in his ears.“Let them in,” Fred said.The bouncer went to open the door to the VIP section and led Edward and Tyler into the room.“Good evening, I am from Pete,” Edward said.“Yeah, he called me to inform me he is sending some guys my way,” Fred said, smoke coming out from his mouth and nose.Fred gestured to Edward to sit down, and Edward took his seat in the chair opposite Fred while Tyler stood beside Edward.“I learned you have some dope to sell?” Fred asked.“Yes,” Edward replied.“How much is it worth?” Fred asked.“About three million dollars,” Edward said.“That's quite a huge amount of money,” Fred exclaimed.“Yes, I am in urgent need of some money,” Edward said.“Hmm, I see. Where did you get such a huge amount of dope from?” Fred inquired.“Are you buying or not?” Tyler said, getting frustrated at Fred's questions.Fred's bodyguard removed his gun from his pocket, cocked it, and pointed
"Why would he do something like that?" Edward shouted into the phone, his expression stern as he engaged in a phone call.He ended the call and slammed the phone on the table.“Is everything alright boss?” Tyler asked.“Tom called to inform me George said he is no longer interested in doing business with us,” Edward informed.“What? Why? What could be the reason?” Tyler asked.“I don't know, something about him getting a better offer from somewhere else,” Edward explained.“What will happen to our hemp? We need to sell them asap. We have until tomorrow afternoon to pay Anna's ransom” Tyler said. Edward banged his fist on the table in frustration. He had harvested almost all the hemp he was secretly growing on his farm so he could sell it and raise the ransom for Anna as he didn't have up to such a huge amount of money demanded by the kidnapper in his account.“I suggest you place a call to George yourself,” Tyler suggested.Edward angrily searched for George's number on his phone, di
“How could you not know where Anna is? Are you not her husband?” Edward shouted at Alpha Max.“You are not listening to me. She told me two days ago that she was going to Narvik town. I tried to ask why she was going there and what was happening there but she told me to mind my business that she wasn't a kid,” Alpha Max snapped back.“You haven't seen Anna for two days and you didn't bother to let me know?” Edward asked.“She told me not to tell you about her whereabouts,” Alpha Max replied.“Shut up, Max, stop spewing out nonsense from your mouth and tell me where you kept my daughter,” Edward demanded in a rage.“Have you tried to call her?” Beta Drake chipped in.“Her number had been switched off since the day she left,” Alpha Max calmly explained.“Can you hear what this bastard is saying? Her number has been switched off and you sat here unbothered, huh, is it because she is not your fated mate?” Edward inquired as he moved closer to Alpha Max and started shaking him vigorously.
“Hello, who is this?” Luna Anna said as she picked up a call from an unknown number.“Hello Anna,” a muffled voice replied on the other end.Luna Anna was surprised to hear the caller say her name. She checked the phone again to confirm it wasn't someone she knew.“Who is this please?” Luna Anna asked the second time, getting impatient.“I am calling to inform you that your bodyguard, Ben, is dead. I got your number from his phone,” the caller informed.“What?” Anna gasped, her hand instinctively covering her mouth in shock."Who killed him, and how did this happen?" Anna asked, her voice filled with concern.“Well, A guy helping the girl you sent him to kill” the caller revealed.“How did you know all of these?” Luna Anna questioned."I'm his friend. He contacted me, sent me a photo of a girl, and asked for help in tracking her. I did find her, but it turns out she is involved with a dangerous guy who killed Ben," the caller disclosed.Sweat beads formed on Anna's forehead as she str
“This can't be happening?” Rosana said to herself, her heart pounding in her chest as she stepped into the room. She buried her face in her hands, feeling her chest tighten as she replayed in her mind what had just happened with Nolan."He is so charming," Eva whispered softly. Rosana could sense a smile playing on her lips.“Tessy would kill me,” Rosana admitted.“Huh, that bitch,” Eva silently cussed out, expressing her dislike for Tessy.“How will I be able to face him after doing something so stupid?” Rosana said as the thought of facing Nolan again made her stomach churn with shame."Come on, Rosana, pull yourself together," Rosana muttered to herself, giving her cheeks a slight slap in an attempt to shake off the emotions stirring within her.Rosana almost jumped out of her skin as the door to her room flung open and Tessy came inside, her gaze intense and piercing.Rosana rose from the bed, nervously shifting from foot to foot as Tessy fixed her with a steady gaze.“I am sorry
Rosana softly pushed Nolan aside, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment, as she quickly made her way upstairs, not daring to look back until she reached her room and closed the door firmly behind her.Tessy's nostrils flared as her gaze turned icy and steely. She fixed a piercing stare on Nolan, her eyes wide and accusatory, and demanded, "Are you flirting with her now?"Nolan's smile widened as he noticed the unmistakable signs of jealousy in Tessy's expression. He approached her with a tender stride, lifting her chin gently to meet his gaze, and whispered, “You don't look beautiful when you're angry, dear,”Nolan's words further infuriated Tessy as she clenched her teeth. She knew he owed her no explanation, however, the sight of another girl in his arms was unbearable for her."The guys are back and are waiting for you in the basement," Tessy informed him, revealing the message she had come to deliver before she walked in on Nolan and Rosana."Great!" Nolan exclaimed before he sta
Dr. Abel smiled radiantly to himself while driving his car away from Blue Blood Pack.Edward had paid him quite a generous amount of money to have him come here to examine his daughter and her husband and he intended to make more from him.As he approached the main road back to his town, Dr. Abel was startled to see masked gunmen blocking his path, and pointing guns in his direction."Oh dear, who are these people? Could they be armed robbers?" Dr. Abel pondered aloud, fidgeting as he deliberated his next course of action.Dr. Abel attempted to reverse the car and head back to Blue Blood for safety but when he looked back, he realized the masked men had also positioned themselves at his back making him realize It was an ambush.Dr Abel slowly brought the car to a gradual halt as the masked men closed in on him, Dr. Abel's body trembled with fear, his nerves on edge in the face of impending danger.“Place your hands behind your back!" One of the gunmen shouted at Dr. Abel, his voice fi
Alpha Max reluctantly agreed to follow Anna to the waiting doctor after she had threatened him. The doctor swiftly collected blood samples and a semen sample from Max.“I will take these samples back to my lab for analysis. In a week, I will return with the results.” The doctor announced.“Thank you, Dr. Abel. My husband and I appreciate your assistance and eagerly anticipate your return next week,” Luna Anna respondedAlpha Max nodded respectfully to the doctor before excusing himself. He proceeded to his office, where Beta Drake awaited him with another gentleman."I apologize for keeping you waiting," he said as he entered the office."No problem, Alpha Max. We didn't wait long. This is Fred, a wealthy businessman from the human world who is willing to help us," Beta Drake informed."Good day, Fred. I'm Alpha Max. It's a pleasure to meet you," Alpha Max greeted, extending his hand for a handshake."The pleasure is all mine, Alpha. It's nice to meet you too," Fred responded, warmly s
