Tears slowly formed in my eyes as the alpha stared back at me. Not caring how hurt I was that he chose to select my cousin over me, two days after rejecting me, his head turned away from mine, and both his hands that were still around my waist and holding my hand stopped to touch me as well.It was hard to take in what I'd just heard, but the sight of Addison descending the stairs in a long, flowy summer white dress and her face shimmering with makeup showcased to the alpha that she was not only with a wolf but also had the beautiful quality of a true luna, which I completely feel I lack. I immediately fled the house with tears rolling down my eyes, rejected not once but twice by the Alpha.I thought the first rejection was painful until I witnessed him choosing the one who had made my life so miserable as his Luna and his mate.I ran angrily into the woods, feeling so foolish to believe that the Alpha was ever here for me.Not realizing where I was going, I tripped over a branch lyin
A white wolf chased me into a cave. I'm scared to death; there's nowhere else for me to run. It has had me trapped. I sank to the ground, shaking in terror, as the wolf slowly crept up at me, growling furiously. She leaped at me, and I screamed to find myself in bed in a strange place."It's okay, it's just a dream," a lady in full blue came over to calm me down."Where am I?" I looked around, panicking. In the room, all I could see were wounded wolves with tubes in their bodies, and some were crying. Witnessing this strange place for the first time frightens me."You're at the Melokyn hospital?" said the lady.Having no memory of how I'd gotten here, I asked."No one knows; we just found you lying in one of the beds." "It's like you just magically appeared here," she said.I had never been too far from my uncle's home, except in the woods to grab fresh air whenever needed. As I kept noticing the place, my panic grew."Calm down; everything is going to be okay." The lady I now knew wa
Alpha Bolin was the dark shadow that picked me up from the ground before I passed out in the woods. I continued to walk the hallway. As I kept on remembering, I could see his face becoming clearer. I want to think that Alpha Bolin cares about me like I care about him; that's why he saved me, but I don't want to end up destroyed again. Alpha Bolin is the pack's leader. His role was to protect us. He didn't save me because he felt anything for me; he saved me just like any Alpha would because it was his job. As I exited the hospital, I stopped to see Alpha Bolin in the driver's seat of a shiny black car looking at me. His gaze then fell to the envelope hugged between my chest, and I knew why he was there—to make sure I'd taken his money. Upset, I hurriedly walked to his car to tell him I would pay him back, but as I did, he rolled up his window and drove off. I started to run, and I fell to my knees. Immediately, his car stopped, and as a few wolves crowded me to see if I was okay, he
I jumped up from the bench to someone shaking me by the shoulder. Standing before me was a strawberry-blonde female with streaks of gray hair at the front of her hair. She appeared to be in her late 50s.Frightened by her, my heart raced, and I looked around to see that it was almost night.How long was I unconscious? I brush a hand over my hair."Are you okay?" The strange lady's eyes carefully studied me.Just as I was about to respond, I realized the envelope I'd hidden in my clothes was gone. I didn't feel it. Panicking, I searched the floor to see if it had fallen. There was sight of it on the ground."Have you seen a yellow envelope?" Quickly, I asked the strange lady.She shook her head, knowing nothing about it.Someone had stolen it when I was unconscious. Devastated, I sat on the bench and rested my head in my hands. I was now back where I had been, with nothing."I have nowhere to go, and the envelope that was stolen from me was the only cash I have," I wept to the strange
Hating to be late on my first day at work, I got up early and got ready. I didn't want to ruin my life again by losing my only money, which Alpha Bolin had given me. This job could be my last shot at a new start in life, and I can't afford to ruin it either. Looking at myself in the mirror, the uniform fit me well, showcasing the curves of my skinny body from barely getting any meals back at my uncle's home.I immediately left the room and stood in the hallways, waiting on Cavia. Upon seeing me, Cavia wished me a good morning. I followed her to the staffroom, where she introduced me to the employees. Later, she paired me with Lovely, a dark pixie-haired she-wolf who appeared to be the same age as me, to clean the largest master bedroom upstairs.As Pixie and I dusted the master room, she said, "I know a lot of people around here; why is this the first time I'm seeing you? Are you from another pack, living here with your mate?""No," I said, dusting the wall.Not satisfied with my ques
"Welcome home, Alpha Bolin and Luna Addison," Cavia welcomed at the door. As Alpha Bolin entered, his dark eyes immediately went to me at the back, as if he'd sensed my presence the moment he walked through the door. My heart raced even harder when his stare turned bitterly ice-cold. Terrified, my attention went from him to his Luna, Addison, my evil cousin, and my heart ached to see her stand so close to him with a hand wrapped around his arm. I lowered my gaze to the floor, wanting to leave the hall badly. Keeping my attention on the floor as Alpha Bolin and Addison took the stairs, I shook nervously, still sensing the alpha's ice-cold stare, darting at me as he walked away. He hated that I was here. I would never have taken the job if I'd known he and Addison would be here. I wish I had asked more about the job rather than desperately taking it without caring who my boss was. As everyone left the hallway, returning to their duties, I hurriedly walked to Cavia before she left.
I was hurt; tears ran down my cheek as I cut the roses. Suddenly, I heard footsteps behind me. Immediately, I wiped my tears and spun around with the bouquet of twelve roses. I was surprised to see a dark-haired male with hazel eyes standing before me. He wore a dark blue suit, a shiny silver watch, and a dark shoe. With a hand in his pocket, he gave me a friendly smile. His teeth are beautifully white, and I can't help but notice his attractiveness.Seeing he's attired as someone of importance, "Good evening." Nervously, I said and quickly spun around, walking away."Do you know what a white rose represents?" The strange man stopped me. His voice was warm and friendly.With my back facing him, I studied the roses in my hands. They're so white, beautiful, and free from stains."No, sir," I said, spinning around to face him."Please don't call me, sir." He smiledHe's more handsome when he smiles, and I cannot stop staring more."You haven't a clue who I am, don't you?" He carefully wa
Addison's eyes widened, surprised to see me. Vyke gave a welcome smile, and Alpha Bolin gave me the coldest look that sent a shiver up my spine. In my head, I swear, I could hear him growling to get out of his house now.I unfroze and quickly walked to the table to place down the bowl of gravy and basket of breadsticks so I could get out of there immediately.As I placed each item down, I could feel Alpha Bolin's cold stare penetrating my skin. My chest tightened, and it got hard to breathe. My fingers stiffened, and the gravy bowl tilted, spilling all over Addison's. Abruptly, Addison sat up and screamed, looking down at her stylish pink dress."I'm so sorry." I apologized, freaking out at the mess I'd created.Angrily, she looked up at me."You did it on purpose because you're jealous of me," Addison shrieked.I closed my eyes as she raised a hand to slap me.It's not the first time Addison has tried to hit me; she has done it many times back at her father's home. The ache of her ha
