I took a quick glance at Laura, who seemed to be distressed.“You may excuse us now, Chris, I'll join you soon.” With that, Chris walked out of the room."Well, well, well, this is all new. This has never happened in my pack before.'I took my hands behind me and took a stroll closer to where Laura stood.“What a wonderful mate I've got. Now that you've created problems for me, I guess I'll have to go clean after your mess.” She suddenly raised her gaze up to me.“I apologize for causing you trouble, she said.”“There's no need to apologize for this. If Alpha, Dominique, were to declare war on my pack, then I promise you that I'd gladly give you to him in exchange for the safety of my pack!”Laura's lips fell open in surprise. I wish I could burst into laughter at her shocked expression, but where's the fun in leaving her in my room without making her worried to death?“Now that I'm going to see what the situation is, I suggest that you pray to the moon goddess for your safety.”“Alph
I paced the floor of my room anxiously. Sleeping at this time of the night was a luxury. I have no idea what is happening out there. What if Xander was having a meeting with Alpha Dominique on how to send me to his pack to appease his anger like he had earlier said?I'm done for. I'm so done for. Who should I run to? There's no one I could think of at the moment.“Calm down, Laura, you're making me restless this way,” my wolf said.“Don't even say that now, I never should have listened to you to get help from Xander in the first place. He may be our mate, but he's totally unreliable.”I sat on my bed, but still couldn't stop worrying. As it is, I won't be able to sleep until the next morning.********I couldn't believe I sat at the window until dawn. Well, it was what I expected in the first place. I know I wouldn't be able to sleep all night anyway.I quickly left the window where I had been all night and dashed into the bathroom to wash up. This wasn't a time for me to sit out. As
I sat in my office thinking about my meeting with Alpha Dominique earlier on. I bet he's a smart man, and he wouldn't dare lay a finger on my mate, as I had warned him not to. I'm still yet to figure out what to do with my stubborn mate. But then, I think she's cool when being stubborn. She's not as weak as I had earlier thought and, for some reason, I'm glad she could defend herself. Not like I'd watch her defend herself in front of me, but I won't be around her every time and, for that reason, I am delighted she can do so much for herself. Just then, I heard a sharp knock on my door. I took my gaze to the door, but quickly darted away. I already knew who it was, and honestly, I wasn't in the mood to entertain anyone. But then, she's not just anyone, she's a member of my pack and the pack's witch as well. I can't write her off, most especially when she knows that I'm in the office. The door to my office flew open, and she came into view. “Alpha Xander, I can't tell that you're no
“My lady, you have no idea what happened in the pack today.” “Freya, when will you stop the gossip? I'm too tired to listen to anything at now.”“But my lady, I'm sure you want to hear about this story, trust me.”I had just arrived from the pack from a long shoot which dragged on for more than a week. Just when I thought I'd be able to take a rest, Freya came up with a gossip I might not be interested in. But then, I can't stop her now. Though she's a gossip, most times her words tend to become something I want to hear. “Go on then, and make it short, please.”“Alpha Xander declared Laura as his mate in front of everyone today.” I froze and instantly took my hands up the front of my dress where the zipper was located.“You said what?!”“I know you'll be shocked. I'm as shocked as you are. Not just us, but the whole of the pack as well. I'm sure everyone thought Laura was saved by Xander from the hands of rogues, but no one knew she was actually his mate.”At that very moment, I was
“Alpha, Xander, what are you truly playing at? At first, I thought you were doing all of this because you didn't like her, and now you are telling everyone she's your mate?”I took a quick glance at Chris, suspiciously. Without being told, I knew something was definitely wrong with Chris.“How dare you call her by her name! Give me an honest answer, Chris, are you perhaps in love with my mate?” Chris walked up to me boldly, I could see the seriousness in his gaze and I could already guess what his answer might be.“Now that you've. Asked, I don't think I should hide it anymore. Yes, I'm in love with her!” My wolf instantly let out a growl, and without a second wait, I attacked Chris, and we both fell to the ground.“How dare you admit that to my face!” I thundered in a loud growl. My eyes had turned dark blue, which was the color of my wolf's eyes. Chris's wolf had equally surfaced.“You never liked Laura. Would you blame me if I fell head over heels in love with her?”“You're not
I still could not deal with the fact that Xander not only rejected me, but also made it known to the whole pack that he was mated to Laura. I thought that so long as Xander didn't let the entire pack know about Laura being his mate, I would still have a chance with him. But now that I had discovered that he didn't care a shit about me, and I had lost my chance of being with him. I decided to make do with the only option I had, and that was to extract all of Laura's powers and have her killed. That way, Xander would have no choice but to pay more attention to me. “My lady, I'm back,” I quickly turned around to Amanda, who sneaked into my room quietly in the middle of the night. “Did you find out about what I asked you?”“Of course, my lady, she awaits you as we speak.”I got up in excitement. Now I can tell that the moon goddess is on my side. If things go as planned, Xander will be mine soon. I quickly dressed up. I put on a black cloak with my hair covered. I must go searching f
I heard a steady knock on my door, which immediately made me jolt to a sitting position. Who the hell was that? The scent was unfamiliar and to top it all, it was in the middle of the night. While I was still thinking about who it was, the knock never stopped even for a second. Just then, I heard the voice of someone. “Luna, please open up,” the person said. It was the voice of a man. I took a deep breath and slowly stood up from my bed. Whoever it was, it was better to meet him, rather than lie back to sleep. I slowly opened the door while readying my wolf for an attack. Just then, I recognized the person to be Allen. “Allen, what are you doing here?”I asked, wide-eyed. “Luna, I'm here per the order of beta Chris. He asked me to escort you outside the pack, where he was waiting for you.”“What?” I didn't understand why Chris would want me out there in the middle of the night. I took a good look at Allen, but I didn't find anything suspicious about him. “Hold on, I'll be right
*********I slowly opened my eyes, and a dim colored light flashed through my eyes. I had no idea where I was, but the pungent smell of incense almost made me sneeze. I opened my eyes fully only to find myself in a dark room. The only thing that emanated light was a poorly lit candle. This can't be right. If it was Alpha Xander who sent his men after me, I wouldn't have been in a dark room. Judging from what I know about him, he should have had me in chains and tied to his bed by now, and not in a dark room. Just then, I heard a faint voice coming from my right-hand corner. “I think she's awake now.” The voice didn't sound familiar and because I was too weak, I could hardly tilt my head to the direction where I heard the voice from. Suddenly, a figure showed up in front of me. Someone peered down at me with a black mask on. My heart sunk instantly. I had never seen such a person in my entire existence before. *******After all that had happened, I decided to pay a visit to my m
