Hitting the ClubJane“Jane, let’s go to the mall and then hit the club,” Amira suggests. “I don’t want you feeling down after sharing your story about your mate.”“I don’t feel like going, Amira.”“No, you need to cheer up, darling,” she insists. “Come on, let’s hit the mall.”“Sure, I’m up for it,” I reply. “Let’s go.”We get ready, and she drives us to the mall. Ella, Amira’s friend, who later became my friend, tags along. Ella is the Beta’s daughter in the pack.Soon, we reach the shopping mall. We park the car and step inside. The mall is bustling with energy, filled with the hum of conversations and the clinking of shopping bags. Bright lights and colorful storefronts line the corridors, creating a lively and inviting ambiance. The aroma of freshly baked pretzels wafts through the air, mingling with the scent of various perfumes from nearby shops.We start looking around until Ella shouts, “I want that sexy dress!” Ella exclaims, going inside the shop and pointing to a short, hot
Meeting Her AgainAlpha Richard Brown’s Point of ViewEver since I met that useless mate of mine, she has never once left my mind. I hate that she affects me so much. I hate her even more for not being able to accept my rejection.Why is the moon goddess so cruel to me? Why was she my fated mate? I despise everything about her. I need her to accept my rejection, or I’ll be stuck with her forever. I won’t be able to mark or mate with another strong she-wolf worthy of being my Luna.I need a strong she-wolf who will rule beside me. I never listen to my nagging wolf, Parker, when he argues with me to accept that girl as our mate. He likes her already, and I find that even more pathetic.*‘We both know that without me, you are nothing,’* Parker says through the mind link. *‘You know, I am the reason everyone fears you. I am strong already. I can protect our mate.’**‘Parker, can you protect her forever?’* I ask. *‘Can you always protect her from my enemies worldwide?’**‘I don’t care. I wa
JaneMy heart races, and my palms grow sweaty as my eyes lock with his. A mix of anger and longing swirls inside me, conflicting emotions that threaten to overwhelm me. My breath catches in my throat. Do I look attractive to him now? Does he want me now? If yes, I’ll make him beg before I even consider taking him back.“What are you doing here? What the hell?” he roars when he realizes the girl he’s about to hit on is his rejected mate. His gaze disappoints me, shattering my hope once again. I struggle to maintain my composure, the war between my heart and mind tearing me apart. Part of me wants to scream at him for the pain he’s caused, while another part wants to ignore him. So, I choose to ignore his presence and not acknowledge him. He’s not my Alpha. However, this doesn’t sit well with him—a proud Alpha accustomed to being acknowledged.“How dare you ignore me?” he screams. I continue dancing, feeling his stare burn into my soul.“You...” He roars, grabbing my hand and dragging me
Jane.“What is wrong, Jane?” Amira asks, her voice filled with concern. “Ever since we left the club, you’ve been so unhappy and moody. What’s going on?” How can I tell her that I met the one who rejected me? Seeing him today, hearing his words... it makes me want to tear him apart.“I’m fine,” I reply, trying to sound convincing. “Don’t bother yourself.”“No, please, don’t tell me that. I won’t take that from you,” she insists, her eyes probing mine. “Tell me what’s wrong, please.”“Okay,” I relent, sighing. “Can you believe I saw my supposed mate, the one who rejected me? I met him at the club, and you know what? He tried to humiliate me again.”“Oh my god, what kind of jerk is this?” she exclaims, anger flashing in her eyes. “What the hell does he want from you again? I wish I had been there. I would have given him the worst treatment he’d never forget. Love, I’m sorry.”“Don’t apologize, darling. I already put him in his place. I gave him a good slap. He never saw it coming,” I tel
JaneI look up and meet his fierce gaze. The warrior’s eyes are filled with a murderous intensity that sends fear coursing through me. Despite my trembling heart, I try to maintain my composure. Thoughts of escape race through my mind, but I remain rooted to the spot, unable to move. His piercing stare seems to suffocate me, making it difficult to draw a breath. Once more, he glares at me with a look that could kill. I understand that he is only trying to intimidate me, but in that moment, I am unfazed.“We’re here to witness the fight between Jane and our best warrior, John. We’re here to see the strongest between them,” the Alpha announces. Everyone cheers, filling the air with their witty remarks. The crowd is excited, their voices creating a deafening roar that echoes in the arena. Some chant John’s name, showing their loyalty, while others shout words of encouragement for me. Their faces reflect a mix of anticipation and anxiety, creating an electric atmosphere charged with the th
Jane’s StanceI need to share my new achievement with my mom after a long time without talking. I feel guilty about it. I dial her number, and she answers on the third ring.“Hello, Mom. How are you?” I ask. It’s been a while since I last heard her voice.“I’m fine, my darling daughter. How are you doing over there?”I know she’s worried about me and misses me a lot. She must be lonely because I’m her best friend. I imagine her with a lot of wrinkles by now, but I know that’s not accurate. She is one of the most beautiful people I have ever met.“I’m fine, Mom. How’s Dad?”“Oh, your dad? He’s doing well. He’s always busy with pack affairs. There’s no time for me,” she responds. “I’m lonely here without my baby. Mother misses you a lot, my sugar pie.”“I miss you too, Mom, and I have good news for you.”“What good news is that, daughter? Be quick to spill everything out.” I can feel her happiness over the phone.“Mom, I’m a warrior now. I’m one of Uncle Tommy’s female warriors.”“Oh, my
Alpha Richard“Hi, baby,” Amelia says as she walks into my office without knocking.“You should knock before coming in,” I scoff. “What if I were having an important meeting with the elders?”“Aww, baby,” she purrs, blushing and forcing herself on me. “I don’t think anyone is more important than I am. You know I’m your queen, your Luna.”“What?” I roar, slamming my fist on the desk. “Do you really think you’re more important than my members and elders? Amelia, listen carefully; giving you the Luna position doesn’t mean you deserve it.”“Alpha,” she cries.“Being my Luna doesn’t give you the same rights I have over my pack members. You’re just the mate I chose for myself. You are nothing—a nobody. You’re not my true mate; imprint that on your dumb skull. I don’t want to keep repeating myself. Am I clear? Do you understand me?”Who does she think she is? She’s just a b*tch. She’s not my Luna, and she’s already acting like one. We both know we’re not destined mates. I only want to use her
Chapter Title: The Aftermath‘She is not fit to be my maid, let alone my Luna.’Alpha Richard Brown.How could this happen? Instead of marking her in front of everyone, I ripped her throat out. Everyone is shocked by my actions. They are too shocked to speak. No one dares to move. Everyone is scared. The monster in me is on the surface. He killed Amelia in front of everyone. He’s a ferocious beast who doesn’t fear anything.“Why?” I roar. “Why did you kill my mate, Parker? I demand an explanation from you. How dare you kill her?”“Your mate?” he laughs. “Did you say she was your mate, Richard? She is not the one the moon goddess gave me. I am not mated to her. She is a fake one, the Luna you bred for yourself,” my wolf Parker replies. “She’s not my proper mate, and never will be. Do you think I will stand and watch you mark that bitch? Do you think I will allow you to kill my mate because of this whore?”“What’s all this about, Parker? You killed my mate because of your sterile mate. Y
CHAPTER 32 – RICHARD (PARALLEL UNIVERSE)"Who's next?!" Ray yells, as the scruffy, haggard lady scrams out of the office. "Let's just tell them all to go fuck themselves!" I snap at Ray, slamming my hands on the table. Just then, the door opens and another female walks in. She's a little better dressed than the last female, but she's still not Jane, and I'm getting fucking impatient!"Relax, man. We'll get you a fine-ass secretary. I promise." Ray whispers to me, rubbing my arm. His hair is tousled from the stress and I feel a bit of sympathy for him."With the sorry excuses of females walking in through that door, I highly doubt that," I reply with a hiss, standing abruptly that my seat topples behind me.The loud crashing sound makes her flinch, and she lowers her head. I can see her finger quivering in fright around her résumé. She's dead scared from just a crashing sound. What happens if she accidentally gets hired and has to listen to me yell and cuss her ass out every day? She'
CHAPTER 31 - JANE (PARALLEL UNIVERSE)I walk out of the grocery store, steadying the grocery bags in my arms. They're heavy and filled to their brim. It's only a matter of time before I'm tired and need to get a taxi. But for now, I'll just try to enjoy the walk."Jane, wait up!" June sprints slightly to meet me, as we take the sidewalk, heading home. The street is rowdy and crowded so we keep squeezing through bodies and sometimes, bumping into others."Why don't we just grab a taxi already? It's tiring carrying these bags and bumping into people." I sigh, adjusting the weights on my arms. This definitely isn't what I signed up for."Going home with a taxi will make us get home faster, and that's gonna ruin everything.""Ruin what?" I ask confusedly."Your little time outside," June replies, flipping her hair. "C'mon Jane, you've spent weeks brooding and wallowing in misery. You refused to leave the apartment. This is your first time out, in two weeks. You should enjoy the fresh air
CHAPTER 30 - VISHAL (THE FIRST UNIVERSE)Watching the leaves fall from the tree is a little medicinal and it eases a bit of the suffocation I'm feeling in my heart. My fingers are loosely wrapped around the glass of brandy in my hand. I sip from it again, not letting my eyes off the window. It's a bright day and full of good energy but I feel more gloomy than I ever have. Jane has been gone for over a week and there's still no news about her disappearance. Richard has disappeared too. No trace of him or his feral werewolves. It feels like they all just…disappeared. For real. I've combed the entire pack and beyond in my desperate search for my mate, Jane. I've contacted every Alpha of the packs in the region to be on the lookout and let me know if they see her. But no one has any news about her or Richard.It's been frustrating and agonizing for me, waking up each day alone and knowing that my mate is somewhere out there but I can't find her. I take another chug of my brandy, savori
CHAPTER 29 - JANEI stare blankly at him as he gives a husky chuckle strolling to his chair. He pushes it back and slides into it, crossing his legs. I don't bother sitting, so I just remain standing and staring at him.His smirk is flirtatious as he boldly undresses me with his eyes. His eyes linger longer on my lips and he bites his lower lip."So tell me, what's it gonna be?" His husky, deep voice reverberates in the room. My skin flushes from the heat growing between us."Please, Sir. Why don't we talk about this again? Hear me out, please. I don't think·""You're not supposed to think, Jane!" He cuts in, impatiently. "I'm not making an impossible proposal here, so don't make things difficult.""More than you already did?" I ask calmly, but my nerves are ripping apart."I think you got the wrong conception about my proposal, Jane. I'm not making things difficult. On the contrary, I'm here to give you a smooth ride in life." He pushes open the drawer and takes out a checkbook.I wa
CHAPTER 28 – JANE (Parallel Universe)I take a sip of my coffee, and then a bite of my cookies. I don't have much appetite, especially because my mind is running wild. I can't stop thinking about what I'll be telling my boss today. Will I accept his proposal or is it safe to say I'm gonna be officially unemployed starting today?I'm nervous as hell and I just can't stomach the sweet breakfast I made. I can't even relax. My boss occupies my mind and my heart is racing in anxiety. What do I do? How do I solve this problem without losing my job?I can't afford to be unemployed. I got too many bills to pay, that I just can't afford to be unemployed. But fucking my boss doesn't sound appealing either. So what do I do?"Good morning!" June's voice distracts me from my thoughts. I look up and see her coming down the stairs."Hey, girlfriend. Good to see you're finally awake." I smile at her. She kisses my cheek and struts to the kitchen."I had a nice sleep. Thank you so much for not waking
CHAPTER 27 – RICHARDThe rage that's jabbing at every inch of my nerves is rather monstrous. And if whoever just spilled his drink on me doesn't have a fucking valid reason, I just might snap his neck. I don't care. I've had enough frustrating moments to last the night. I don't need to endure this bullshit."Are you fucking blind or what?!""I'm so sorry…I'm sorry, I didn't·" the voice stops talking.My rage drops a notch as I see who the words are from. It's a female. A sexy human female. Not a werewolf. She's drunk, like fucking tipsy, and even though she's trying to be steady, she keeps slipping and bumping into random bodies.I'm not sore how seeing a drunk, sexy human should make me feel, but right now, I'm fucking pissed and it's all thanks to her whiskey drenching my outfit. The fact that she's almost naked despite her black lace shorts and the lacy top doesn't suffice my rage. It didn't even get my dick hard. Irritation is all I feel right now.She's staring deep into my eyes
CHAPTER 26 - RICHARD"I'm fine, dude. Told you already. I bumped my head into something hard and my memories are lagging a bit. But other than that, I'm fucking fine. Don't worry." I say in a firm voice, trying to convince him.He nods, sipping his drink in silence. I'm not dense. I can see on his face that he doesn't believe me a hundred percent. He's probably just tired of bugging me about it, and that's why he's pretending to believe me. But then, I don't honestly care if he believes me or not. I just hope he doesn't bother me anymore with his irritating questions about why I'm acting differently. I'm sick and tired of telling the same lies. He should just give it a rest.We sip our drinks in silence, and I, for once, turn to the crowd to see what's going on. The place is filled with naked, aroused human bodies, caressing each other and fighting to get some pleasure. There's an object of excitement at the podium, I assume, 'cause the men wouldn't quit whistling in that direction.
CHAPTER 25 – RICHARD"One more bottle of tequila!" I yell out to the bartender, twirling the shot glass in my loose grip. My eyes are getting heavy from a couple of drinks I've had. But it doesn't matter. I plan on getting fucking wasted tonight. The bartender places the bottle in front of me and Ray reaches to grab it. I beat him to it, grabbing the bottle and turning the other way to pour myself a drink."That's enough, man. You drinking way too much." Ray sighs behind me. "Not as much as I plan on," I reply briskly, placing the bottle on the counter. I chug down my drink and it heats my throat, leaving me with a strong urge to pour myself another glass. You could say I'm a fucking addict, but tequila has always been it for me."Dude, what are you talking about? We both know you've never been a good drinker. Booze drives you insane. Makes you do the craziest things. Isn't that why you quit drinking? What the hell is going on with you tonight?!"Yeah, right. I scoffed at his lectur
CHAPTER 24 - JANE (Parallel universe)"Tell me. How did it happen? What did you do? Why did he make such a proposal out of the blue? Or has this been going on for a while?" June fires me a lot of questions. Her brown eyes twinkle with curiosity mixed with a bit of…excitement? "No. It was literally out of the blue. I got to work. I was at my desk when he came in with his small entourage. Then his wife walked in too…""That cold hag." June snorts, making a face of disgust."June! Don't call her that." I reprimand her."But it's true. I'm in my mid-twenties and I still haven't seen any woman colder than your boss's wife. She's always dressed like some…""That's enough, June. Please." I say more firmly, shutting up whatever rude remarks she's trying to voice out. "Don't forget she's still my boss's wife. Show the woman a bit of respect.""Okay. Okay. Whatever." She scoffs, waving it off. "So what happened after that?""She walked into his office, and after a few minutes, she ran out in t
