Jennita’s pov (3 years later)

‘Beta Jennita, we’ve received word that the Alpha will be caught up in another business trip in the States. He pleads that you consider substituting him at the General Alphas being held tonight at Dark Raider’s Pack.’

My hand paused midway, a spoonful of food hanging from my hand as I positioned it close to my son’s mouth. Stiffness eluded my posture and a glint flashed in my eyes but I casually resumed feeding him, watching with a warm smile on my face as he chewed carefully before swallowing.

“Mommy, feed me too!” Janet squealed from where she sat next to her twin brother, her large eyes gleaming as I fed her next with a chuckle at her perseverance.

‘Beta Jennita. He’s pleading. He knows you’ve resented having anything to do outside the territory, but he’s asking just this once.’ Gamma Louis’s voice came persistently through the mind link again.

‘If you could find a better time to try to persuade me. I’m currently feeding my children.’

‘Oh. I apologize. Of course, Beta Jennita.’

Sensing he had left me, I finally released a sigh I never realized I had been holding. However disturbed I may currently seem at the news, watching my babies eat before me set a fondness in my eyes, clearing any heaviness in my heart immediately.

Three years had passed since I had been sworn into the Titan’s pack in Jamal’s office with a broken heart and a soul seeking retribution for my unborn child. I had become Jamal’s maid then. However, my journey from his maid to his second in command was earned by a series of moments and accomplishments that earned me the respect and trust of Jamal I never knew I needed.

Despite the doubtful and loathsome mistreatments I got from his people who held doubt and mistrust towards my sudden appearance in their pack, my ascent through the rank had been nothing short of a testament to my unwavering determination. With my resourcefulness, strategic thinking, and unwavering loyalty, I had no doubt made a name for myself. I had retained the Beta blood still running thick inside my veins.

I thought of the future I wanted my unborn children to have and I knew I couldn’t settle for them becoming children to a maid. Regardless of circumstances, they still had Alpha blood flowing in them, and it would be disgraceful to subject them to a low rank.

There was the initial skepticism and lack of trust at first, but Jamal and I were able to build a bond of unwavering trust and friendship through our shared trials and triumphs as I stood by his side. During those times, I also rephrased my thoughts about the cruel monster I thought I had once known.

Jamal was far from one. I owed him. He had done so much for me even without him realizing it. Even though I played what might seem to be a massive role in the growth and development of now one of the largest packs in the north, I still felt indebted to him.

He was on another one of his business trips abroad but was supposed to have returned yesterday to attend the General Alphas’ meeting today.

It was an all-out meeting where all the Alpha of the eight packs, including the rogue’s pack, gathered once a year. It was usually one of urgency that prompted everyone’s presence.

Not going and having the other Alphas mark him absent might inculcate wrath and severe punishment which I did not want to be the cause of.

But I wanted anything more than not to go. I hadn’t stepped a foot outside the rogues’ pack for three years. I loved it here, most importantly, I felt safe.

Most of all, I dreaded having to see familiar faces.

My worry was so imminent that it couldn’t be hidden from my children who seemed to be very keen and observant for their age. They both suddenly hugged me, startling me a bit before I realized what was happening and chuckled.

“Sweethearts, what’s wrong? You made Mommy scared.”

“Mommy, please don’t look sad.”

“Yes, Mommy. Uncle Jamal is not around, but we’re here. We miss Uncle Jamal too, but we know he’ll bring us many gifts when he comes back.”

I felt my heart swell at how cute they were, and without resisting, I snuggled my babies into my embrace, quickly changing the topic to lighten the environment. “What do you think he will get us this time?”

Janet cheered up immediately as she leaned back to yell proudly. “I told Uncle Jamal to get me the biggest doll house I can play in.”

I expressed mock shock and surprise as I opened my mouth wide. “Really? “

She nodded. “Mm. Mommy, you and Uncle Jamal can come play with me in the doll house too.”

“What about me?” James pouted.

“No boys allowed.” She stuck out her tongue at him earning her a chuckle from me.

“But Uncle Jamal is a boy!”

“No, Uncle Jamal is an Uncle. They’re different!”

I laughed again, watching them banter for a while before I put them to sleep.

Once they had slept, a grave look settled in my eyes as I got up to take a shower, changing into my full royal regalia before heading out to meet Gamma Louis who was a bit surprised to see me all dressed up.

“You’re ready.” It was more of a question than a statement.

I took a deep breath before assuming a cold look, my blank eyes meeting his as I said, “Prepare the vehicle. We’ll leave immediately, lest we’ll be late.”

He bowed immediately. “Yes, Beta. Alpha Jamal has appointed me to accompany you along with some carefully picked guards, many of our best men. Rest assured, you’ll be safe.”

I curtly nodded just before he left. The moment he left me alone, my face fell and I assumed upon my former look of dread and fear.

‘It’s just one meeting, Jennita. Jamal has done so much for you already, just do him this one favor. After all, it’s already been years, he’s happily married and might probably not even recognize you. ‘

With that in mind, I rolled my shoulders, taking a deep breath before leaving. However, not before appointing my most trusted maids to look after my children till I was back.

On the way to the meeting, we had gone a long way through when we encountered a broken-down vehicle on the way. A small lit fire was at the side, smoke blanketed the surroundings and the vehicle looked bad. It looked like a recent accident, and panic surged through my body when my eyes closed, Tasha, my wolf, alerted me to the sound of a heartbeat.

“Louis. Stop the car...”

The moment it stopped, I immediately got down and rushed to the car, avoiding the words of protest from the Gamma and the guards as I immediately squeezed into the passenger’s seat of the damaged car, the smell of smoke and fuel causing my head to spin as I ducked under to gain entrance inside.

True to my instincts, a man was lying inside, his hand thrown over his face. The other hand was limp against the car seat. I raised my head and yelled to Louis to get aid from two guards while I ducked back in to try to wake him up. The temperature In the car was not enough to cause me to sweat, but it barely fazed me.

I could hear his perfectly still beating heart, relieved he was still alive. He was badly hurt and was bleeding from the forehead, but he could still be saved. For an accident this bad, he was lucky to even be in one piece.

Suddenly, he groaned, alerting me to focus on him.

I naturally reached out and grabbed his shoulder to still him. “Excuse me sir, but please, you’re badly wounded, I wouldn’t advise you to move too much.”

He suddenly froze, as if my words had struck a nerve, but before I realized what was happening, he snatched my arm and pulled me in closer. In shock at his actions, I gasped as I fell into his embrace, a familiar scent hitting me and causing me to raise his eyes to meet his.

Of all men, it had to be him. Those cold, eyes still retained those unfeeling glaciers from before, but this time, they were brimming with what looked like a long rekindled burning fire that burned deep into my eyes.

“It’s been years, but I would recognize that voice anywhere.” His familiar voice was deep and cutting, his grip on my arm tightening as his jaw hardened.

“Let go of me, Antonio.” I calmly said, feeling my heart drum in my chest.

My heart raced, every pain coursing through my body evaporating like mere gas as I pulled her into my arms upon instinct.It was her. I resisted the urge to let out a pained chuckle. Who would have thought we would meet in such a situation after three years? Her eyes, intense and green were sharp, no more the soft-hearted kind I had grown accustomed to. Her hair, still raven black, was longer now, short curls framing a face that had lost its youthful roughness from then, but now gained a fierce beauty.“Jennita,” I breathed, unable to hide my surprise.“Beta Jennita.” My face scowled and my wolf flew on high alert when I smelt company.

    Jennita’s pov Seated on the passengers’ seat, I stared out the car window; trying to contain the rippling anger that surged inside of me. Yet, Tasha continued to whimper. She knew how badly he had hurt us, how long it’s been since we’ve last seen, but she could still sense him, recognise his scent. But unlike her, I was anything but ecstatic to see him, and my encounter with him just made me realize how much of an arrogant brute he was. Those eyes were still as daunting and cold as ever. He would be attending the meeting as well, I knew I was going to have to face him one way or the other, but I didn’t plan out our encounter a few minutes ago. My jaw clenched and I looked away, towards Louis. We were the only ones in the car amongst the convoy. “Jamal can’t know about this.” I quietly said, although I was sure he knew what I meant. His usual stoic expression deepened into a frown, and I noticed him tense as his grip tightened on the wheel. “Beta Jennita, if he’s going to be a furt

    Antonio’s pov At Alpha Marcus's question, murmurs enveloped the room, and my gaze casually went to hers which seemed to want to burn a hole through his face had it been possible. I snickered, calmly resting my chin on my knuckles as I anticipated how she would wriggle out of the spotlight he had put her in. She had seemed so bold and audacious when we had met hours ago. How did she intend to face Alpha Marcus? “Silence!” King Ray’s voice resonated through the hall, and a pin drop silence instantly followed as everyone submitted under the aura of his wolf. However, their expressions still bore various hints of mixed emotions; dissatisfaction, anger, irritation, annoyance. “Your majesty…” Alpha Marcus seemed insistent. “That’s enough, Alpha Marcus. I’d reckon you’d even show the same level of respect to Alpha Jamal if he were here. You’ve been nothing but bitter towards the Rogues.” “Rogue or not. It still stands that she is the only woman in the room. What could a mere woman like

Antonio was the last person I was expecting to step in to help me, although a greater part of me who knew him too well knew he’d take his chance to exert power and pain over Marcus.I sat there, feeling a bit furious that he thought he could take the situation into his own hands. My wolf, however, had other ideas. I felt her rearing on the surface, whimpering for her mate. It seemed the mate bond hadn’t been officially broken since he never rejected me.But Three years was enough for her to forget him and hate him like I did, right? But now, Tasha was of no help. I burned in fury, this time around because I realized I couldn’t take my eyes off him.I clenched the sides of my seat, swallowing hard. Oh, Goddess. No. This cannot be happening.Antonio was undeniably handsome. Ugh, he’s still as infuriatingly attractive as ever. Those chiseled

Well, I did. He just sat there, his jaw clenched, his gaze trying to settle anywhere else but on me.“Your suggestion seemed to be well thought out and strategized, Beta Jennita, but Alpha Antonio is right. Unless we can be able to certify that the spies we’d be sending out would be cautious and easily blend in without drawing major attention to us, we can’t proceed with it.”I nod quietly, feeling my body still brimming in anger from what had just ensued. “Yes, Your Majesty.”The meeting continued, this time, the conversation seemed to flow more naturally between us all. Antonio chipped in once in a while, ensuring to avoid directly answering me, but I could tell as he slouched in his seat, arms folded and head tilted to the side, he looked anything but ecstatic to be here.“That c

What do you know you can do in this situation?” She smirked coyly and seeing her up close, I was amazed once again at her beauty, her scent was a light one: flowers and chocolates. Her grey eyes met mine, and the warmth in them dissipated very atom of anger in me built up against Alpha Antonio.I knew he had spilled his drink on me on purpose. Whether it was to rile me up or agitate me, I wasn’t sure what his aim was, but I was not going to give him the attention he was seeking.“Come on dear. I can’t possibly have you return home like this. I have something that will take the stain off in a moment.” She had her hand clasped around my hand as she turned to King Ray, her smirk growing till the fine lines beside her eyes became visible and a warm glow enveloped her.“You better save t

What are you doing here?”I tried to ignore the racing of my heart as I watched him take slow steps towards me, his eyes darkening so I could barely even see the hint of blue in them.“Antonio!” He had yet to say anything, only slowly closing the distance between us. It was like being in a room with a ticking bomb, only, you weren’t aware the time it would explode.A perfectly shaped brow raised slightly, as he met my gaze again, this time challengingly. “You don’t seem scared.”I scoffed. “Of you?

    Antonio’s povHer feeble attempts at pushing me away was cute, but I found it satisfying having her struggle against me. Jennita was never the type to fight back. Even in high school, it had been Alessandra who would always protect her from the bullies because it was well known that no matter what was done to her, she would not lay a single finger on her opponent or bully.In our five years of marriage, I had never laid a single finger on her besides the night she had hurt Alessandra. I never took advantage of her vulnerability as much as I hated how it disgusted me then.But now, there was this thrill of having her fight her arousal for me while trying to push me away as hard as the mate bond seemed to tug us even closer. Three years, three years of searching for her, what did she think was going to happen?Who knew how she made her way so quickly to the Beta’s rank? What could she have possibly known aside from being cooped up in the library all day? I knew my woman better than anyo

    Jennita's pov “Jen, come on.” I was seated still, frozen in panic from what to do, and as if my situation wasn't worse than it was, Jamal was already up, his hand out for me.My heart thumped as I raised my gaze to meet his, my eyes travelling from his outstretched hand to his face which was now morphed Into worry. “Are you okay?” The genuine concern in the tone of his voice caused my chest to tighten. He so badly wanted us out of here, and seconds ago, I shared the same interest with him too. More than ever, I didn't want to be here either. But knowing Antonio, and the fact that he already has enough dirt on me to ruin what I have going on, I couldn't risk it. I couldn't risk defying him. Unfortunately, he wasn't the type to make empty threats. I steeled my resolve as I got up, grinding my teeth to hold back from revealing my true emotions to Jamal. I had to get rid of Antonio.

    Jennita's pov Antonio was hereEven before we walked into the restaurant, the sinking feeling settling in my stomach, my nostrils filled with the scent of him, Tasha purring and whimpering- it was a dead give away to his presence. I could be wrong. I ignored the perturbing feelings and kept my expression neutral as we walked in, my eyes betraying my feigned nonchalance by travelling around the place. And there he was. Like a magnet, my gaze was instantly drawn to him, our eyes locking the moment the glass doors shut behind us. He was sitting by the window at the end of the room, looking completely unbothered, a glass of red wine in his hand. His piercing teal colored eyes locked intensely onto mine, and for a second, it was like the whole room went still. For that brief second, his gaze subtly glanced over me, taking note of my neckline before plunging lower to drink in my curves- like he was savoring it. Goddess... Those eyes- dark and demanding as they looked now, reminded m

    Antonio's pov The crisp scent of my cologne mixed with the faint aroma of fresh paper filled my office. My fingers moved skillfully over the keyboard, my face masked with a neutral expression as I reviewed the quarterly financial report of the company, Black Crest Oil. My frown deepened. I leaned back into my chair, rapping my knuckles on the table. Profits were up, but some investors were getting impatient about our upcoming offshore project. Humans and their neverending greed. The slowly aggravating irritated expression on my face died down instantly the moment my gaze fell on the bead bangle around my wrist. I chuckled, feeling my mood lighten instantly. The colorful small beads unevenly placed around the string was in great contrast to my diamond encrusted wrist watch- but to me, it was the most priceless thing in the world. I remember when Genevieve had come back from school desperate to show me the friendship bracelets she made. I thought it would be the perfect time to f

    Jamal's pov (The same morning) With one leg crossed over the other; my left ankle sitting across my right knee, I leaned back in my chair, surveying the buzzing boardroom. My P.A. stands behind me, nervously scribbling down whatever she deems fit to write on her iPad. From where I sit, I can hear her heartbeat pulsating hard and fast. It's the same for everyone in the room, except, as usual, rather than tell me what the fuck is going on, they're all avoiding contact, murmuring discussions I can clearly hear. Humans. I sneer, a glint of crimson red overshadowing my pupils before It disappears just before one of them realizes I was ready for the meeting and signalled everyone to keep silent. My blazer hangs behind my chair which I lean back from, grabbing hold of a pen before leaning back, casually flipping it around my fingers, testing its fluidity and flexibility to keep my brain busy and working. Sometimes it was nerving listening to them jitter so I needed something to distrac

    Jennita’s pov “Mommy! Mommy!” Scrunching up my face, I groaned slightly on feeling a dull ache at the back of my head. Suddenly, two bodies land over mine on the bed, snapping me from any sense of drowsiness I felt from waking up earlier. “Janet, move, you're taking up too much space on Mommy!” I hold back a chuckle as I sit up, slowly peeling my eyes open to stare at my cute babies, all dressed in their uniform with their backpack secured behind them. Both were holding onto my waist like I was going to disappear any second. “You, move! I got here first!” Janet stuck out her tongue at him and I rolled my eyes, wincing slightly from another dull ache as I lean against the bed rest, pulling them into my embrace. “Hey hey, it's a school morning. Should you two really be fighting at this hour?” I lean down to nuzzle my nose in their hair, basking in their melodious voice filling the room as they giggled hysterically. “Mommy, I hate the way Elsa does my hair. She never puts in the

    Antonio's pov I was never fond of aged whiskey and the scent lingered thick in the office, mingling with the tension amongst us; choking, suffocating silence. Back on my seat, I glared at the Alpha across the table, greedily filling his cup with the drink from the bottle of whiskey. Forming an alliance with him was something I never dwelled on, but depending on how useful he proves to be tonight, I might be tempted to renew my interest. “Let me get this straight, Gregor,” I coldly utter, eyes narrowed with a voice calm but laced with steel. “You’ve had a mole in his pack for how long?”He smirked, downing a cup in go before rewarding me a flash of his teeth that bordered on insolence. I gritted mine, half glaring at Malcolm who stood behind my seat. It was a cue to let him know that at some point, I will not be entertaining a pig in my office any longer. “Long enough to gather what you’ll find very, very much... enlightening,” The gleam in his eyes is annoying.

But with her hands still in mine, her eyes filled with unshed tears staring down at me, I forget to breathe, anticipating the words I so desperately wanted to hear. “Oh Jamal. “ Shaking her head, the unshed tears finally spill from her eyes as she sobs uncontrollably, and I wanted nothing more than to have her in my arms right now, crushed in my embrace. “I will…” My thoughts of comfort are suddenly sliced through by exasperation as I tighten my grip around her hand without realizing. “W– what?” She chuckles again, still sobbing as she wiggles her fingers. “Yes Jamal. I'll marry you. Now put the ring on, I want to see if it's a perfect fit.” Holding back the turbulent of emotions overriding each other is difficult, and by the time I push the ring through her finger, there's a pleased smile on my face, my heart is racing faster than ever, and fuck… She was mine.

I've been hurled insults much worse than this all the years of middle school, High school, yet, I couldn't tell why this hurt me so much. Maybe because it was coming from my sister. “Antonio will love me.” Holding back my lower trembling lips, I snap back at her with a much firmer voice. Out in the open of our empty living room space, we stood facing each other. The car waiting to take Alessandra to the airport was waiting outside, and at my words, I watched her grip around the handle of her suitcase tighten. “We both know who was his first choice, don't forget that. You're only a liability to him– a substitute.” I closed my eyes, feeling the tears burn, feeling Tasha itching to shift and run, to run away from her, from hearing any more hurtful words. “Antonio will… “ “Of course, back to Antonio again,” she claps her hands, chuckling with mirth in her eyes. “Obviously you'd think he loves you, he's

Nothing about me ever stayed composed whenever I set my eyes on her. My heart raced, my hands nervously moving to adjust my cufflinks as I watched her gracefully alight the steps. Her hair slightly bounced behind her as she closed the distance between us. I rarely see her with her hair down and they seemed to bring out her jewels for eyes, emphasizing on their beauty. Unable to help myself, I gradually lower my gaze down her dress. It was the most beautiful one I've ever set my eyes on and It cost me a small fortune, but within, I knew Jennita deserved more. More than just dresses, she deserves the world. My world. Her hips seemed to have a mine of their own as they rolled side by side, sensually capturing my whole attention till she finally reached the last step. Snapping from my reverie, I insta
