****It wouldn't hurt to have just one meal with someone who had done so good to calm me dow or would it? "Okay, let's go." I stood up and we walked hand in hand to the cafeteria.When we got there, every workers kept staring at me weirdly. I and Mr Alaric ordered our foods and started eating but I felt strange with the way Alaric kept looking at me."Eat your food or it might get cold." I Meade sure I wasn't looking at him when I said that. He just chuckled and started eating his food all the while looking at me from the corner of his eyes."I would get up and walk inside if you keep staring at me like that!" I got irritated... What the heck is wrong with him."I appreciate the fact that you helped calm me down but stop looking at me in that manner!" I added and he scoffed."What exactly do you want? I can give it to you. You and I knows that Alexander has no value gor you and would trash you off when he's done with you." I wouldn't lie that those words hurt me but I had to put on a
Roberto's POVI have always been shrouded in an aura of mystery and fear. My birth was met with a sense of foreboding, as if the universe itself knew that I was destined for greatness - or destruction. The day I entered this world was marked by a rare and ominous occurrence - a total eclipse on the night of the full moon. The villagers whispered among themselves, calling it the "Cursed Day".As I grew, the darkness that surrounded me only intensified. My eyes gleamed with an otherworldly intensity, and my presence seemed to draw the light out of the room. My parents, the previous Alpha and his mate, recognized the power coursing through my veins and began training me from a young age.I proved to be a quick learner, mastering the skills of combat and manipulation with ease. My ruthlessness earned me the respect and fear of my pack, and soon, I was named the Devil Alpha.But it wasn't just my actions that earned me this moniker - it was the darkness that seemed to follow me everywhere.
Leslie's pov*Travels*"Please, I'm looking for a nurse here. Very pale she looks about 50 years of age or thereabout." I asked the receptionist for the hundredth time as my whole body ached from the pain that was spreading all over my body.If it were physical pain, I would have gladly accepted it but no, these pains that were spreading all over my heart were internal pains that even the best medics couldn't take care of."Ma'am, I don't think anyone here would want to see you. If anything, you look like someone that just escaped from a psychiatric home." The receptionist chided giving me an irritated and annoying look.The look in her eyes was almost similar to that of Lachlan. The one he had held for 3 years whenever he set eyes on me. It made me wonder if that's how the entire world saw me as.Perhaps I was just a jinx that wasn't supposed to be born in the first place."Is that you, Mrs Mallory?" A voice halted as I almost gave up my search of the kind old nurse who was in every
Jenna's POVAs I gazed into Roberto's eyes, I felt a rush of emotions. We were alone in the room, and I knew this was my chance to open up to him."Roberto, can I tell you something?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.He nodded, his eyes sparkling with curiosity. "Of course, Jenna. What's on your mind?"I took a deep breath before revealing my true intentions. "I'm studying business because I want to take back my father's company from my stepmother, Brainna. I need to know everything about the business world to outsmart her."Roberto's expression turned serious, and he nodded thoughtfully. I could see the admiration in his eyes, and it made me feel empowered.As we talked, our bodies drifted closer, until we were almost touching. I could feel the heat emanating from his body, and my heart raced with anticipation.Before I knew it, Roberto's lips were on mine, and we were lost in a passionate kiss. I moaned out loud, unable to contain my emotions. Roberto's hands explored my bo
Jenna's POV I woke up feeling exhausted, Roberto wasn't anywhere in the room which certainly means that he has gone to his company to check on some things. I failed Mary's number since it's actually been a while we talked and she picked up in the first ring."Someone remembered me today." She grumbled and I could already picture the look on her face."Don't sound like that...." I said trying to maybe coax her."Nah, don't do that. You didn't call me for days and I haven't been seeing you in classes, you seemingly forgot about me because of your big bad Alpha right?" Mary is just like this, teasing while she's still angry. That's just who my best friend is."How are you doing?" I asked. "Well, I've never been good." She responded instantly."Mary?" I called out finding her response kinda cringe."Huh?" "Don't you miss me?" I needed to know If my bestie has found another one."Girl stop it. I need to fuck." She replied helplessly then I remembered that she was without a mate."So sorr
****Anxiety gnawed at my mind as I gazed lovingly at my triplets, sleeping peacefully in their cribs. It had been a week since their birth, and the reality of my situation was starting to sink in. I couldn't keep running, not with three innocent lives depending on me. The thought of Roberto's wrath, should he find us, sent shivers down my spine.I sought out Mandy and Azrael, my trusted friends and confidants, hoping they could offer some guidance. "Guys, I don't know how much longer I can keep this up," I admitted, my voice trembling. "I have to think about the babies now. Maybe if I talked to Roberto, one on one, we could resolve this whole thing."Mandy's expression turned stern, while Azrael's eyes widened in alarm. "Lola, no!" they chimed in unison."Why not?" I asked, desperation creeping into my voice."Because, Lola, that would only make things worse," Mandy explained gently. "Roberto's not exactly known for his calm and rational thinking. If you confront him alone, he'll see
****I knocked on Leslie's door, feeling a mix of emotions. I had chosen her as my mate, despite knowing that Lola was the one destined for me. But there was something about Leslie that drew me in, something that made me want to be with her.The door opened, and Leslie stood before me, her eyes flashing with anger. "What do you want, Israel?" she spat.I took a deep breath. "I want to talk to you about what happened earlier," I said, my voice calm. "I know I hurt you, and for that, I'm sorry."Leslie crossed her arms, her expression unyielding. "You think a simple apology will fix everything?" she asked, her voice dripping with skepticism.I shook my head. "No, I don't. But I want to explain why I did what I did. I chose you, Leslie, because I feel a connection with you that I don't feel with Lola. I know it's not traditional, but I couldn't help how I feel."Leslie raised an eyebrow. "And what about Lola? You just going to ignore the fact that she's your destined mate?"I sighed. "I
* Everyone including Beta's, gamma's, omega's and pups had their heads bowed as I passed by and it confused me. That has never happened!!!! I knew their act was one that was made out of respect but trust me...... This was too much! "What's wrong with y'all?." I couldn't help but ask as I stopped in my tracks but they all took one unanimous stride backwards. I decided to ignore them and headed straight for my mother's room upstairs. "Mom....." I squealed softly out of frustration and tiredness as I opened the door. Taking one long look at my face, the pack maids attending to my mother immediately walked out of the room. "Ansel.... You look... Stressed." She said slowly, giving me a scrutinizing look. "Mom....." I tried saying but trailed off as I laid beside her. "Ansel, what's wrong?." She asked this time and sighed. "Everyone's been acting weird lately, did you see the way those maids attending to you scampered away like I was a monster?." I asked, hoping that at least, she
