Alessia"Okay… so what do you suggest that we do?" I asked in a cold tone, and he swallowed hard, unable to find his voice. I knew he was reluctant to leave me. I was struggling to let go of my feelings but I knew that was the best thing that I could do if I wanted to survive. I didn't want to make the same mistake I made in the Crystal River pack where Victoria made my life a living hell because she was Asher's girlfriend and I was his mate. "I think you should give me more time to get rid of my feelings. You know it isn't easy," he said, and I nodded my head in response. "For how long?" I asked, and he looked up instantly. "Probably three months," he said, and a soft gasp left my lips. "What's wrong?" He asked with a furrowed eyebrow, feigning ignorance. "That's too long. She'll have killed me before then," I said, and he shook his head vehemently. "I thought I'd told you that she dare not touch a strand of your hair," he said coldly and possessively. "Okay fine, I agree. But
Lennox I glared at Alessia with an icy look on my face after finishing my statement, and she looked up at me with a surprised look on her face. She wasn't expecting me to make such a statement. Even without thinking, I knew what she was planning to do and I wouldn't let that happen easily. She wanted to pin me with my mate so that I could let go of my feelings for her. It's such a pity that she was relentlessly trying to make someone else happy but she wasn't thinking about herself. I knew she wanted me and didn't want me to go but she had no choice because she was scared of losing her life. Somehow, I thought she was selfish because if she wasn't selfish, she wouldn't have said I should get rid of whatever feelings I have for her even though she was still harnessing feelings for me. No matter how hard she tried to give up on her feelings for me, I knew she would end up coming back to me. I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at her curiously, waiting for her response. I wanted
Alessia"Happy reunion. Congratulations," I said and clapped my hands as I walked into the dining room and met both of them kissing each other passionately. They pulled away from the kiss and turned to me with a smile beaming on their faces. The smile wiped from his face the moment he saw the sadness in my eyes and he looked away. I could tell that he was feeling guilty the same way I was trying to endure the pain that was stinging my pain. I thought I was going to be happy and relieved after he reconciled with his mate but I didn't know this was how it was going to feel. I didn't know it was going to be painful. I didn't know that I was hurting myself indirectly. I wished I could turn back the hand of time and make things right but it was too late to do such a thing. It was too late to cry over the spilled milk. His expression changed the same with his calm demeanor when he noticed the look on my face. He stared at me with a sympathetic expression. As much as I didn't want him t
"You're right, my lady. Their faces were covered with leaves," the guard said, and Ariella trembled in fear. For the first time, I saw her tremble and shudder in fear. I didn't who those people were but whoever they were, I wouldn't let them take her away in my presence. "Are you okay? Who are those people?" I asked as I turned to her. "It was those guys you saved me from the other day," she said, and I scoffed. "So you remember," I said and chucked mockingly. "This isn't a time to joke. They're dangerous," she said, and I scoffed. "I never said I was joking with you as well. I would do them the favor of slapping their ass again," I said in a cold tone, and she scoffed. She ignored me and climbed down the stairs to the ground level. "Get the guards to secure this place," she yelled, and he shuddered in fear. "That's not possible. The Alpha had gone with most of the guards to the battlefield and we're outnumbered," he said, and she gasped out in shock. I swallowed the lump in
AlessiaI swallowed hard and my hands shook vigorously with cold beads of sweat forming on my forehead. My head throbbed in pain as he threw a cold glare at me. What was going to do? I knew I wasn't going to die if I couldn't do something about it. I didn't know what to do or say at that moment. "What do you want?" I took a deep breath and tried to control my heart which was beating rapidly. Maybe I could come up with a better plan. I swallowed as he threw a cold glare at me. "Give her back to me and I'll spare your life," I said confidently, and they grimaced at me. It was funny and unfortunate that I could be so bold in such a condition. My life was at stake, and I needed to do something to make their hearts ease. I couldn't tell why but I felt like they were at stake, not mine. The feeling was overwhelming and unimaginable to be real. I knew there was no way for me to take down all of the armies around me but the feeling was still there. "What made you think you'll leave he
Alessia"You haven't answered me," he said in a cold tone and walked closer to me with a smug face. "Get away from me," I growled deeply as he gripped my chin and pulled it up so he could get a closer view of me. He whined and staggered backward as I bit on his arm with my wolf's fang. I rubbed my hand on my neck and turned to run out of the hall but unexpectedly, he was standing before me with a smirk on his face. "Where do you think you're going?""You're yet to answer me," he said, bringing me out of my thoughts. I balled my hand into a fist and bit on my lower lips with an angry look on my face. I have tried all I could do to subdue him but he was giving me a hard time. My wolf couldn't resurface because of his dangerous auras. "Since you won't tell me why you're here, I will teach you a lesson," he said, grasped my hand firmly, and dragged me out of the hall. "What are you doing? Leave me," I yelled and hit his shoulder with my left hand. I tried all I could to take my hand
Alessia"What happened to me?" I turned to Ariella, who had just opened her eyes after waking from her deep slumber. I took a deep breath, trying to come up with a better lie to convince her that nothing serious happened to her. "You fainted after Alpha Nox died," I responded, and she nodded her head gently even though she wasn't convinced. "Ouch!" She whined and rubbed her hand on her forehead which must be throbbing in pain. I knew that I shouldn't have done such a thing to her but I had no choice. I couldn't afford to leak the secret of my mystic wolf to anyone because my life would be at stake. It was better if I kept it a secret. "How are you feeling?" I asked worriedly and rushed toward her. I reached out to the bowl of water that was beside the mattress. I pressed a piece of white cloth inside of it and pressed it gently on her head to ease the pain. "Thanks," she muttered and turned to me with a smile beaming at the corner of her eyes. "Huh?" I asked and blinked my eyes
AlessiaI stared at the doctor with my eyes widened in shock and awe. I was unable to believe that I was pregnant. I thought it was a joke or a prank until he showed me the proof that I was pregnant but still I didn't believe him. "Are you sure about this, doctor?" I asked again, and he nodded his head in agreement. "Yeah, I'm sure. This is it," he said and pressed the pregnancy kit to have a better view of it even though I was seeing it. "I'd like to take my leave," the doctor bowed his head slightly and walked away before I could call him back and question him again. "Calm down," for the first time, Lennox spoke up and I looked up at him. He walked closer to me and wrapped his hand around my waist as he leaned closer to me. "You don't have to feel sad. You're carrying my baby," he whispered to my ear and my body shuddered at his proximity. "That's a lie. I'm not pregnant for you," I threw my head backward and pushed him away from me. He shook his head with a sigh and rushed to
