Carolina alighted the bus and let out a sigh. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon. The golden ball shone in the bright blue sky illuminating the earth. It was a beautiful day and she had been having fun with her friends until…
'Why did father call for me?' She wondered as she walked down the road leading to their house.
Different thoughts coursed through her mind but none prepared her for what was coming. Soon, Carolina was strolling into their rented apartment on Bay Street.
Was this another bad news? Or was it just like the time he had told her that he couldn't pay her school fees after he had gambled away her mother's savings? She hoped that he hadn't done something stupid again.
Her mind was racing with thoughts as she closed the door and darted her eyes around the small entryway. The hallway was dark and empty.
"Papa." She called out for him.
"We are in here, Caro. Come in." He invited her into the living area.
Carolina's brows furrowed when she heard him speak. How many people were with her father? And why?
It was strange for her father to have called her from school because he never called. He didn't check up on her nor did he send money. He was just her father in the name of it.
And since the tragic death of her mother at the hands of a drunk driver, it was as if he never cared. So far he had enough money to get more bottles of alcohol and gamble his meager salary away, he was okay.
Which was why she was doing her best possible to make a new life for herself only for his call to come out of the blue.
A feeling of dread crept into the pit of her stomach and unease settled over her like a thick fog on a cloudy day.
Why did it feel like something worse was about to happen? Her hands were clammy and her heartbeats were loud in her ears as she took slow strides toward the living area.
She walked into the room and scanned it immediately. Her father wasn't alone but the man who was with him backed her with his hands shoved into his pockets.
He was a tall imposing muscular man in a white long-sleeved shirt with black pants that fit him snugly and an expensive-looking silver watch that shined brightly on his wrist.
He stood facing the wall. Or rather staring at a younger version of herself in the picture frame on the wall. It was on the night of her prom.
Why was he doing that? It felt strange.
His woodsy musky scent hit her nostrils and she loved the slightly intoxicating sweet smell of his Arabian perfume.
He had dark shiny hair which was tied in a ponytail. His posture reminded her of someone from her past who she couldn't place at the moment.
She wasn't sure why she was feeling so nervous but in a situation where her father who had called her home sat on the chair staring at her with dull eyes as if he had committed a crime, she was bound to feel nervous.
"Papa, what happened?" Carolina swallowed as she asked the question.
Her heartbeats thudded in her chest as she awaited the bombshell from his pale lips. However, it wasn't her father who answered. The tall man turned around at that moment.
"You are five minutes late and one thing I detest is tardiness, Miss Carolina Alexanders." He spoke as he turned around.
She stared into the most beautiful pair of brown orbs. They stared into each other's eyes for what seemed like forever before she finally broke eye contact.
Her heart beat faster, and she had to force herself to look away.
"And who is this?" She turned to her father in confusion.
What the hell was happening? Why wasn't he speaking? And what was that look? Something was odd with her father. Not only was he pale, but he also stared at her with lifeless eyes.
The man took a step forward, making quick strides towards her as he closed the distance between them, stopping inches away from where she stood.
Her heart jumped into her throat as her body became aware of how close he was. The heat radiating off of his body made her want nothing more than to run away.
The man extended his right hand towards her for an introduction but she ignored him.
"Anyways, I am Connor Leigh, the Alpha of LA Pack." He introduced himself as he shoved his hands back into his pocket.
Carolina swallowed. This was the famous Alpha of LA Pack whom every lady in the city worshipped. But what was he doing in their living area? The likes of him weren't made for this place.
"What have you done to my father!?" She glared at him.
"Mr. Alexanders, I'm afraid you will have to do the introduction yourself. Your daughter has the wrong impression about me here."
" Does she know that you were the one who did something to me?" The man stared at Carolina squarely without taking his eyes off her as he spoke.
What did the man mean by that? What had her father done this time again? Without saying it, she knew he was in a deep mess.
Her father sat up on the chair with a document on the stool before him. He picked up the pen and appended his signature.
"Don't do that, Papa. Have you read the documents." Her voice was barely a whisper as she approached him.
"He doesn't have to read them. Not that he has a choice." Connor smirked at her.
"Alpha Connor, this is my daughter whom I was talking about. Carolina, meet Alpha Connor, he owns you now." Her father said.
Carolina's lips parted in shock and her face wrinkled in confusion. This couldn't be true. Maybe her father was high.
"What do you mean, Papa?"
"Papa, tell me this isn't true. Are you doing this again?" Hot tears trickled down her cheeks as her lips trembled and a small whimper escaped from them.She dug her fingertips into the chair while she stared at her father as he hung his head. He gave her no reply. Just like he hadn't given her any since she walked in.His reply only meant that it was true."This can't be true." She whimpered reliving how her father had run into different debts in the past which she used her hard-earned money to clear.It wasn't an easy time for her because she had to go through a lot to get the money. She did something she wouldn't have ever done just to save his head.The room was silent and the only noise was the clock ticking with each passing second. She now belonged to a total stranger because her father couldn't control his gambling addiction."Is there anything we can do please?" She turned to address the young man whose name she had forgotten within a few seconds.The shock was enough to make
Carolina had bloodshot eyes and her face was puffy from crying. She wore her hair in a messy bun and there were dried tear tracks on her cheekbones.She laid down on the mattress lost in deep thought. How would her life be with the Alpha? She didn't love him and certainly did not feel any connection with him.Except for the first attraction she had felt for him which later turned to hatred when she realized that he was her captor. She had contemplated trying to run away but it wouldn't work.Alpha Connor had so many connections in LA. The only way she could get out of his reach was if she booked a flight out of California. That was if she was able to disguise herself so well.Even if she did that, she didn't have any money on her, also her whole life was here. If she succeeded in leaving, where would she start from? She had no one else. All her life was in LA. She was between the devil and the deep blue sea. She imagined how life would be with a total stranger.Her father had cause
Oliver knew why she was upset. Immediately Connor left and she stormed into her room, he knew the thought of calling her uncle would occur to her so he had to make the call first.He had called him to inform him of the situation and to also tell him to discontinue paying her tuition. He hoped that soon she would be able to forget all these and forgive him. Carolina dragged her small box out of her room into the living area after having her bath. Her eyes met with her father's where he sat at the dining table, however she ignored him."Caro." Her father called her.She stopped in her tracks while waiting for him to speak."Won't you have breakfast?" He offered."I don't think that's a good idea, if I eat up all the food left in the house, you might starve and die of hunger." She said sarcastically.Oliver had expected this when he signed her off. It was the best option for him. If he lost the house, he had lost everything and he would have to start all over. Someday she would understa
"We've got a problem, Alpha Connor." Jack, his driver, informed him.He sat up on the chair immediately. Had something happened to Carolina? Or had she escaped? He wouldn't put that past her but it wasn't possible. He had men who would collect her and drive her down to his place immediately. He took safety measures to prevent that immediately after he left her house the day before."What is the problem?" He was alarmed."Liliana arrived a few minutes ago and she is inside with Carolina." He said."What is she doing there?!" He gasped."We thought she had your permission, sir." Jack said."And you left her there? Go in and stay with them till I come. You know how Liliana can be." He gave instructions before hanging up.What was Liliana doing there? He knew what she was capable of doing. He retrieved his suit from the suit hanger immediately and dashed out of the office.Carolina stared at the brown-haired beauty before her. Her feminine perfume announced her presence as it wafted int
Carolina's jaw dropped as she stared at Liliana in bewilderment."You must be kidding, right?" Carolina scoffed while Liliana eyed her from head to toe."I am not kidding, why would I joke with someone who is a joke!" Carolina leaned back a bit with her arms crossed over her chest."Is it just I or you are exceptionally rude?" Carolina retorted, infuriating Liliana who was on the verge of exploding in anger. She couldn't decipher how Carolina had the audacity and effrontery to talk back at her and most especially, she couldn't understand what Connor saw in someone like Carolina.To Liliana, Carolina was someone crude and classless and she wasn't even who doesn't even deserve to stand before her. The more she stared at Carolina whose eyes were a flicker of rage, the more she felt the wave of anger rushing inside of her.Silence pervaded between Carolina and Liliana as they both stared daggers at each other. Liliana decided to break the silence as she cleared her throat before deciding
Carolina tilted her head a bit, turning to look at the direction the voice emanated. Her hand dangled helplessly by her side as she swallowed the heavy lump that formed beneath her throat. Liliana seeing that the table turned against Carolina, rushed towards Connor with tears glistening in her eyes.Liliana forcibly found her away in his arms as her cries broke into sobs that left Connor devastated. His eyebrows furrowed in confusion because his initial thought was that Liliana would try to pick on Carolina but he was dumbfounded when he saw how Carolina almost landed a slap across Liliana's face. Carolina's mouth was slack open as she stared at the scenery happening before her. That was when she was starting to realize how cunning and manipulative Carolina could be. Different thoughts raced through her mind and the only thing she did was to cuss at herself in regret because if she could have endured all the pain Liliana caused her, then the situation would have been different and s
Connor heaved a sigh of relief as he watched Carolina who was on the indoor balcony, walking closely behind the maid who helped in carrying her luggage. His heart kind of ached for her because of the tone that depicted the rudeness that he had used on her earlier. Inside him, he was contemplating either apologizing to her after he gets back from the office or apologizing to her before he returns from his office. He ran his hands through his head frustratedly, staring at Carolina till she finally disappeared from his sight. Liliana followed the direction of Connor's eyes and when she saw that he was staring at Carolina, she clenched her fist by her side. She was more infuriated when she saw the compassion in his eyes and the more she thought about it, Connor had never stared at her the way he stared at Carolina.It made her wonder what Connor saw in Carolina for him to order her to leave his house. The image of Carolina kept replaying in her head and the more it lingered, the more di
Chapter NineChapter Title-What Happened To Us?Carolina rolled her eyes to the back as she buried her face in her palm because she knew that with Liliana standing at the door like that, another series of trouble and drama was brewing again. Connor stood to his feet swiftly as he walked towards her in a haste in a bid to stop her from causing trouble for Carolina who just woke up.He grasped her by the arm but Liliana shoved his hands off as she shot him a glare. "I want to know what's between you and this low-class lady for you to be this crazy about her" Liliana's voice quavered, almost breaking down in tears. She shot a glare at Carolina who just stared at her with a face devoid of any emotions.Connor wasn't having any of her words, the only thing he wanted to do was to get her out of Carolina's room. He glanced at Carolina who pulled her legs to her chest as she observed the scenery happening before her. Connor gave her a reassuring smile that made her cringe. Carolina glanced
Carolina was surprised, she squinted her eyes open to see that she was close to the water but not too close for the Crocs to jump and attack her. She took her eyes up and saw someone running hurriedly towards her. He controlled the leveler and it took her away from the Crocs that were still waiting for her beneath the leveler. Carolina was speechless as he watched the man try to unchain her hands, "Someone came to save me? Unbelievable!" She exclaimed in her mind, her heart gladdened. The man's face came into view and Carolina's brows furrowed, "Uncle Gregory?" She uttered, staring at the man in confusion. "That's right Carolina, it's me" he returned and pulled off the chain locs with so much force that it broke open. "I came to save you and to as well warn you to stay safe. Liliana is alive, I'm sure about this because she is the one that has put you in this position. To kill you off" Mr Gregory added, helping Carolina out of the leveler. He looked like he truly wanted to he
Carolina was convinced that Jackson has a hand in the kidnap because why else did he insist on seeing me even after I had tried to make him understand that I couldn't? She could feel her face turning red in rage as she figured out that it was all his plan to have her killed. He betrayed her! Carolina could not believe he would do something like that to If she had known that such a turnout would have come about someday, she would have let Connor kill him that day he was abdu Carolina's thoughts were cut short when her legs wobbled dangerously again. She looked down at her feet and noticed that she had gotten closer than she was to the murky wa The crocodiles beneath snapped their sharp teeth at her and she released a loud frightful yell. Her voice pierced through the silence around the vici Did anyone hear her at all? Carolina prayed that someone at least She closed her eyes tightly and when she opened them, her eyes fell on something that looked sort of like a heap of clot Scra
"And what's that about?" Alpha Connor asked, out of curiosity. "I have offended you gravely and I am really sorry about that. Actually, Liliana sent Helen and I to you, so we can destroy you from within, but after being together like this, as if we are friends, it made me realize how much I missed you and how deep my offence is." Hadrulph apologized, then knelt before him. "Forgive me, friend. I really want to leave here, soon and I can't, without my pup, because he is still alive. I will appreciate it if you devise a plan to save my pup and then tell her that you got whiff of our plans and then you have gotten rid of us. Once I have my pup, neither I or my family will show their face." Hadrulph said as a tear fell from his eyes, to the ground. Alpha Connor who had already gotten wind of their plans was not shocked, but he was surprised that Hadrulph would actually turn a new leaf just after this experience. ~ "Wow. So he confessed?" Carolina exclaimed, with her eyes, bulging out.
“So, how did it go? Did they buy your lies?” Liliana asked, impatiently. “Yes, they did. I guess Connor still trusts me as a friend.” Hadrulph said, with a smirk. “Are you certain that we are safe, playing this game?” Helen asked, feeling frightened. “As long as you do not get caught before you strike.” Liliana said as she used her index finger to raise Helen’s chin. “And Connor will not get a whiff of what’s going on until we hit him hard and it is too late for him to strike back.” Hadrulph smiled, feeling ready to take Connor down, bits by bits. “Good. I love that zeal and confidence. You can both leave.” Liliana said, with a smile on her face. The next day, Alpha Connor mind-linked Jack to come over. When Jack got to Alpha Connor’s house, Alpha Connor came out with Carolina. “Let’s go to the villa.” “Alright, Alpha.” Jack drove them to the villa and then they all gathered in a circle. “Now, here is the update. Hadrulph visited Carolina and I, yesterday and they claimed to
Alpha Connor woke up with sweats breaking out and then he went to the sitting room to drink water and calm down. Carolina on the other hand was having a dream as well. It seemed those moments were affecting them as well. ...The dream... Carolina's eyes widened as the realization of how dangerous her environment was flashed at the back of her mind. "How did I even end up here? Who brought me down here? What exactly happened?" Carolina asked rhetorically, staring inside the murky water covered with a herd of hungry crocodiles just beneath her. She felt the surface she was standing on wobble and reduce in height, her heart palpitating in so much fear. Carolina staggered slightly but didn't fall because of the chains that were used to securely hold her hands above her head so that she would not free herself. She tugged violently at the chain but it did not show any sign of coming off soon instead she felt very weak on the inside. It was so weird to her because Carolina could rec
Connor and Carolina were watching a movie when they heard a knock from the door and Connor went to open the door and was shocked to see Hadrulph and Helen. "What are you both doing here?" He asked, with his right eyebrow, raised and didn't want to bother about Helen who was said to have been held hostage and sick. Hadrulph and Helen were both nervous and unsure of how to start. Hardulph was the first to speak. “We came to apologize.” Hadrulph said and cleared his throat. “Apologize? I do not understand what is going on.” Alpha Connor said, looking baffled and staring at them with distrust. “Can we just come in?” Hadrulph asked, looking innocent. Alpha Connor was reluctant to allow them to come in, but Carolina signaled to him that it was fine, so he allowed them to come in and they sat on the couch, but Alpha Connor did not offer them anything. “Now, what do you have to say?” Alpha Connor asked, with his arms, folded. “I just want to apologize for my actions. To be honest, I
Hadrulph fondled the breast before settling his fingers on the nipple, making her gasp his name. He slowly snaked his tongue up till he got to his ear. He gently picked the tip of it and sucked on it before flicking his tongue into her earlobe. She shivered and purred. Feeling her legs turn to jelly, she quickly placed one of her hands on the wall while the other found his head and ran through his hair. He snaked his free hand under her dress and traced her thigh till he got to her vagina. His hand was so big and it covered her frontals completely. As he tried to find his way in, she widened her legs and shot out her butts, colliding with his hard cock. Her breath was unheaven and just feeling that hardness crushed against her behind was enough to heighten my excitement. I felt myself clenching involuntarily as I widened my legs the more, eagerly waiting for him. The moment he made contact with clits, my body quivered and leaned into him. She must have moaned really loud becaus
He had his bath and felt refreshed, wore his clothes and went downstairs to the dining room, where Alpha Gerald and Layla were eating their meal already. He looked around and saw that the maids really prepared a bountiful meal today and they were still busy in the kitchen. "Good morning, Alpha Connor. I hope you enjoyed your night?" Alpha Gerald asked, with concern. "Yes, I did. Is there any celebration going on? I can see that the maids are really busy in the kitchen this morning." He asked, hoping to get an answer, because it might be something confidential and they might not want to talk about it. "Uhm.... We are celebrating the day our kingdom gained independence from Black Moon Pack. You know about the story, right?" He asked as he drank his cup of coffee. "Yes. Although, I only know a little out of it." He replied as I moved closer to the dining table. "Yes, that little you know is certainly the main thing that happened. All other information is just a detailed story of how
He chuckled, because he was funny with what he said. Years back, he had said the same thing, when he asked questions from his father. "Well, it will pay one day. If I didn't do my homework and read well, I might not be able to answer your question." Alpha Connor said, trying to convince the little guy. "Hmmm.... I see." "Well, a few things that I know about stingrays, they are friendly and gentle. The biggest weigh 700 pounds. They are curious and are part of the shark family." Alpha Connor listed and folded my arms. "Whoa... They are one interesting specie." He said, nodding his head slowly. "Thank you, I really appreciate it." He appreciated me, then went back to his parents. The fishes seemed like they were really comfortable in their abode. He had waited about thirty minutes and was beginning to get tired of watching these gloomy looking fishes. Then someone tapped him and he looked back. "I'm back. Sorry I kept you waiting." She apologized, with a bright smile. Somehow, he
