Lihat lebih banyakStella's POV.Surprisingly, I woke up quite early in the morning. The night was pretty much well spent. Now, I felt like I could conquer the world. Stretching, I stood up from my bed and went to freshen up. I should stop by at Kormak's home quick before Owen got up. I hurriedly scrubbed my body before shrugging on a white shorts, white t-shirt, and blue sweatshirt to go with. I loved the way it complimented my skin and matched my eyes. My hair remained on a messy bun with tendrils fallen over my face. Feeling satisfied with how I looked, I grabbed my phone and exited the room.Quietly, I trudged down the stairs and to the kitchen. It was after six, Kormak should be up by now. A scream tore out of my throat when I saw someone in the kitchen. “You good?” Owen asked, getting up from the stool he occupied and to my side.I removed my hand from my chest, “what do you think? You frightened me.”“I apologize. But you should know that I stay here too.”I glanced up at him. The bright light
Stella's.Cooper let go of me and we both looked at Owen. Leaving his side, I stood beside my mate and passed him a soft smile before looking back at Cooper. “This is—”“I do know who he is,” Cooper said, cutting me off. I kissed my tongue and glared at him but he only winked back. The nerve of this guy. Right in front of my mate. An alpha for that matter. “Alpha Owen, I'm Cooper Stevenson, beta of Grandiose Apex.”Owen shook his outstretched hand, his face emotionless and his mouth set on a straight line. “Nice to meet you.”Lie. It was so obvious he didn't fancy Cooper, but due to the fact that he was family, he wasn't on his pack ground and he respected him, he kept it to himself. A definite alpha way.Copper nodded and stepped aside, his hand now stretched to the hallway before us. “Please, allow me to lead you to the guest house.”“Nuh-uh.” I stepped in-between them. “He stays with me.” I peered up at Owen whose eyes never once drifted from me. “Right?”Cooper looked between us.
Stella's POV.Owen's gaze lingered on me. The barely lit room spinned around me and I staggered, my breath became laboured. Owen hurriedly held me and slowly guided my butt to the bed. Dead. Coma.The two words swirled in my brain like a tsunami, and all I could see was Aria’s body laid on Kormak's lap and her chest not moving.And I hated that. No, Aria was the number one person who truly knew me and loved me despite it all. I needed Aria to be okay because that was the only way I could be okay, too.She died, I died. That was the way I saw it.It was as if I was electrocuted back to life. I abruptly stood up and stared up at Owen, I clawed on his forearm, constantly repeating Aria's name. He got the memo and pulled on my wrist. I had no idea when we got downstairs or how we got into his car. Everything felt like a haze daze. And I wanted out.Because I badly needed Aria to be okay. I couldn't even begin to think about what Kormak could be going through right now.He needed me. Th
Stella's POV. I usually wake up early everyday. I mean, I was a doctor and it required me to always be on my feet. Up and ready. So, tell me, what on earth Owen added to the food that had me getting up at 10 am today?? Bruv, I had no idea when 8 am passed me by. Gosh. I didn't like this, honestly. But some part of me did need the break because I felt refreshed, like I could carry the world on my shoulders. With nothing to wear, I only brushed my teeth and washed my face before going downstairs in Owen's boxer and shirt that was big on me. I couldn't possibly sleep in what I wore yesterday. By the time I appeared at the top of the stairs, I began to wonder if Owen was in because I heard not a noise, the lights in the hallway were turned off too. With my mouth pushed to the side, I gingerly walked down the stairs, peeking through the glass railing. The kitchen was also empty and when I got to the living room, I found it empty, too. Did he seriously leave me here alone with n
Stella's POV.“How do you know how to cook?” I asked curiously.Owen dropped his fork and took a sip out of his wine before answering. “I taught myself how to. Whenever my parents had pack business to attend to. And it became easier when Logan was born.”“How's Logan?” I should seriously check up on him. What sort of doctor didn't check up on their patient? “His legs,..” I trailed off.“Oh, he's well now. Thanks to you.” His eyes shone with appreciation.“Yet I almost got stranded for it.” I muttered jokingly, placing a forkful of chicken in my mouth. But apparently, Owen didn't catch that.Owen suddenly choked on his food and coughed. I paused on my chewing and sat up. “Are you okay?”He said nothing and drank water. Then, cleared his throat and gazed at me intently. “What?” I shifted in my seat and swept my hair away, feeling awkward from his blatant stare.“How petty are you?” I blinked, taken aback by his question. “What?” I asked, not sure I heard him right.“Will you ever let
Stella's POV. It was a few minutes to 7 and my heart could no longer contain my chest. As Chris drove, I stared out through the window and tried to calm my racing heart by staring at the tall buildings and people passing by. “How big is the pack?” I asked Chris. We've been on the road for over 30 minutes now and we still haven't reached the venue. Then, I realized that I had no idea where we were going. I snapped my head to Chris and asked before he could answer my previous question. “Where are we going?” He passed me a soft smile as if sensing my pending worry. “We'll leave the pack ground in a minute.” “That didn't answer where I was going.” I said. “The human realm.” Was all he said. What?? The human realm?? How close was the human realm to his pack? Was that not dangerous? What if a human crossed over and encountered a ranged wolf or ogre? I shifted my gaze back to the window. Chris wouldn't have the answers to my questions anyway. He was just following orders. Bu
Stella's POV.The first thing I did when I opened my eyes this morning was to call Cooper. It was like an automatic thing; calling him when things were hard or whenever I was into my head felt like a second skin. I was overwhelmed. Everything became too much. And when I asked him what to do, he said, “Stella dear, be patient. Give him the benefit of doubt. Who knows? He may end up surprising you.”And when I thought about it, I realized he was right. So, I decided not to back out and gave him the benefit of doubt, hoping he wouldn't let me down. Still not feeling okay, I went for a run. To say that worked would be an understatement. I felt good, like I wasn't a few minutes away from a mental breakdown.I tapped my foot on the brown elevator tiled floor as I waited for it to get to my room. Leaning against the wall, I held the steel iron as I regained my breath. Damn, jogging in the morning was literally the best. Soon, the elevator stopped and I stood upright as I waited for the door
Stella's POV.“Why did you bring me here, Owen?” I asked again, making sure to keep my voice straight. For a few minutes, Owen simply said nothing and just stared at me. When I started to feel uncomfortable, I shifted on the couch. Slowly, I drifted my eyes from him and occupied it by glancing at the big well furnished shelf. A specific book caught my eyes and I narrowed it on them. “Wait,” I stood up like I'd been shocked and trudged to it. Owen's eyes followed me as I picked up the book. What pulled me to it was the name written in bold cursive writing. Orion.I swerved around and raised the book in my hand. “Orion?” I glanced at Owen, then at the book. “Like, the same Orion??” Peeling the front cover and a few after that, a vibrant picture Orion sat on it. I gasped and the book fell from my hand.Owen said nothing, but kept his gaze on me.Are you kidding me?! “I tore the lycan king with my claws?!” I shrieked with eyes wide open. “How- why… jeez..” having no ability to form wor
Stella's POV.He didn't possibly come all the way here to settle with me, could he? When he didn't see me beside him, he paused and turned around. Owen raised his eyebrows and I raised my head in return. “You can say what you want here.” His hands went behind him and he stood straight. “I can't. Move your legs, Stella.” It wasn't a request, it was an order coming from an Alpha.I clenched my teeth and matched past him. When we got outside, I swerved around. “Speak. I have a patient to take care of.”“You won't go near him.” His steel voice said.My defense rose and I stared at him, ridiculously. “Excuse me?”“Should I repeat?” Owen stepped closer to me and his voice dropped an octave lower. “You don't go around hurting my people just because you're in a mood. I won't allow that.”My mouth fell open at his mean words. He didn't even give me a chance to share my story. He just assumed I hurt him. What people of his did I touch who didn't touch me first?? Needles pierced my heart at the
Stella's POV.I jogged down the gravel pathway, not paying attention to where I was going. Instead, I was invested in the conversation I was sharing with Cooper.“So?” I panted. “How’s Kormak holding up?”He sighed. “Not so well. But with Aria by his side, things are being handled better.”My older step brother, Kormak, was the alpha of the Grandiose Apex pack and head of the Northern region. Recently, he was betrayed by his childhood companion and advisor, Vorus, who wanted to kill him for power. It had hit him hard because of how much he invested in their relationship. However, with Aria, his mate, being there with him, he'd the chance of moving on fast.Cooper cleared his throat. “What about you? How's the mate search going?” That was why I left. Because Aria was there and because I was on a personal quest to find my mate. I'd traveled up Southern, I still hadn't found him. But I hope I do in the West.I shrugged, slowing down my pace. “No luck. Yet.”“Hmm…you do know you can alwa...
