ALPHA LENNOX:'What are you waiting for? Charge!' the beast demanded while growling inside. He was going in circles, as if he was ready any minute to kill my beta. 'Kill anyone who dared to touch our Luna!'My fist trembled. The anger emitted by the beast was so raw that it felt like poison in my throat.I wanted the beta's blood. I wanted to kill him.'Kill him, Lennox! How long will you keep on staring at the two? Your traitor beta is coveting your wife! Will you only look at them?'Darkness started to swallow me.The beast started to take over my body.However, the rational part of me wanted something else. Stop. That is your beta. Tate and Keira were best friends even before. You know that. The beta was consoling the Luna.Still…I stepped forward and halted. This was wrong.No! 'What use do I have with a beta who has a missing hand? What use will I have with a beta who is no longer breathing at all?' I inhaled deeply while taking a step backward. I must control my emotions
KEIRA:What the...My head became light-headed as Tate continued kissing me. I was too stunned to push him away or I would respond to his kiss. Respond? No! Why would I? Tate was a friend and friends never kissed each other. My eyes widened when he nibbled my lower lips and that was it. It felt like a bucket of cold water was thrown at me. I swung my fist and hit Tate's face.He staggered at my punch and looked at it with wide eyes while touching his painful jaw."Tate?" I asked in disbelief. My hand went to my parted lips. "What have you done?""I did kiss you, doll," he answered matter of factly. He was never even guilty about it. I stepped back from him while trying to calm my racing heart. Looking around, I was glad that no one was around. Even if this was only a fake marriage, I should never taint Lennox's family. And Alpha John. What would he say if he discovered that the beta and I kissed?Oh, gods. That should never happen!"You are not even sorry about it?” I slapped m
KEIRA:Before I could answer Alpha Lennox, he was already facing me. His gaze darted to my lips despite the dim something that flashed in his eyes before it was gone.What was that? What does it mean?“What? You cannot think of an alibi or an excuse?” he taunted. Speak, Keira! Why are you allowing yourself to get intimidated by this man, huh? So what if Tate kissed you? It was not you kissing him back. If this bastard was indeed looking, he would see that you punched the beta."Alpha Lennox, have you seen everything?"If he did, how did he do that? I looked around earlier. But never saw him or caught his scent.I did not have a headache from drinking, but I think I will have now.There was no way he was lying to me since he saw Tate kissing me.“Yes.”A lie or not?However, I found myself declaring, “You haven’t.”Alpha Lennox’s eyes narrowed. “I did, Keira.”“If you did, you would know what I did after Tate kissed me. I punched him in the jaw.”What the heck? Why was I explaining to
ALPHA LENNOX:The paintings on the wall rattled after the door slammed shut.Keira was furious.That was the first time I saw her give me the middle finger. She was naturally patient and kind. However, these past few days, I had been angering her.I yanked my hair in frustration.I messed up. Again. I knew it. The words had been uttered and I could no longer take it back. I punched the wall on the window.Fuck.My mind and the beast inside me were telling me to go after her. To ask for forgiveness, but my heart refused to.Zoe.Right.I had already promised someone. Inhale. Exhale.Pull yourself together, Lennox. No one has the right to confuse your emotions. Not Keira. Not anyone else. Why would I go after Keira when I could not even contact my own girlfriend?'You hurt our mate!' the beast roared inside. He growled at me and threw poisonous glares in my direction. 'Go after her, Lennox.''She is your mate. Not mine. I rejected her. So no. I won't run to her.'I have Zoe. She was
KEIRA: Lennox cursed loudly in my mind. 'Stay there. No matter what you do, do not leave Father. The pack doctor is on the way. Stay calm, love…stay calm.'And the line between us went dead. Did Lennox cut the line dead or was it only my imagination? "Alpha John?"Calm?How could someone be calm in a situation like this?I could no longer feel my hands. It was cold and shaking. My heart won't stop beating fast and all I could do was stare at Alpha John. In my mind, Lennox was saying something but I could no longer hear it. He was still there? Until I realized the door burst open. There were lots of people. Saw Lennox stroll towards his father while the pack doctor was doing everything he could to bring Alpha John back to life. Everything happened so fast. The aloha was barking orders while waiting for the pack doctor's next move. Then four people came in and bought a stretcher. Alpha John's heartbeat returned, but no matter how I told myself to move, it would not. "Keira!" Som
KEIRA:Wife.Now Alpha Lennox was treating me as his wife? Why? Hearing the words wife from his mouth made my chest swell. Everything he said will always create a reaction in me. “Lennox. Will you calm down? Tate and you are not enemies. You can stop trying to kill him with his looks.”"This man has been trying to take you away from me," Alpha Lennox muttered in a dangerously low voice. "No one was taking me away from anyone," I responded. "I do not belong to anyone except for myself. You get it both?" My gaze shifted from Alpha Lennox and Tate. I could see that the former was holding himself from hurting his beta.I don't get why Lennox was acting possessively as if we were mates. We were once, but not now. It was either because of his pride or his wolf. Those were one of the most logical explanations I could think of. Not because of jealousy. Not following his alpha’s orders, Tate’s hand snaked around my shoulders. Alpha Lennox hissed."Hands. Off," Alpha Lennox growled.
KEIRA:Mate. Tate will turn me into his mate.It was not impossible. It was possible as long as there was an agreement between the two persons involved. But of course, regardless if the two agreed or not was for the Moon Goddess to decide. She would always have the final say about that matter."Tate," I called him. "Don't say things like that."The beta smiled and brought my hand to his lips. "I am serious, doll. I have never been serious in my entire life."I pulled my hands away and put it at the back. Tate did not know what he was saying. That was the only thing I could think of right now.He would be going to make me his mate? Why? Did he truly like me like what he said? If he continued saying it, then, I would be thinking that he was saying the truth now. But of course, it was not, right?I refused to be treated as someone's charity case. "Beta. Do you understand what you are talking about right now and the repercussions of it?"I let out a shivered sigh. Yeah.The repercus
KEIRA:I chuckled in the end. "You're seriously doing this to me, Malik? You never had any ounce of pity on my peace of mind, did you?" I asked, the bitterness was like a venom in my tongue. Alpha John was hospitalized while Zoe's life was in danger. The fate of what happened to the two was now on my shoulders.What kind of cruel fate was this?What kind of cruelty did I do in my past life to be troubled this great?“Are you not scared of what your sister would become on that pack?”I heard footsteps on the other line. Perhaps Malik went to his window and stared at the full moon in the sky and contemplated on what he would say next. “Zoe is my sister.”“That's the point, Malik. Zoe is your sister and I had no relationship with her.” Only Lennox and Zoe. “Zoe. Father thinks highly of us his children that they are not allowed to commit any mistakes. Between the two of us, Father thinks less of Zoe because he said she is weak.”I beg to disagree.When I first saw Zoe, she excluded tr
