[CASSY’s Point-of-View] It had been days since the night Alpha Hunter entered my room like a predator hunting its prey. Something had been keeping him busy for the past few days. I could tell by the number of people that kept coming down the hallways towards the room, which apparently was his office. My maidservants didn’t like that I was too intrigued by that part of the hallway and checking what was happening. Screw them, though. I had been in this castle without any news from their Alpha. What caught most of my attention was a tall, strange man with a huge scar on his right eye who has been in and out of that same room lately. I caught him looking at me several times before. He looked ragged and scary, and I supposed he was one of the Zetas in this pack. The kinds that looked like spies or agents. He had that kind of aura about him. Sometimes, Alpha Hunter and I came across the porch. I just hated that I was always taken by surprise, and he acted as if I was nothing to him. He
"Hunter, wait!"I admit I found his small outrage of jealousy a little cute, but I didn’t do anything wrong! My brain told me to stop chasing him and just leave him salty. I couldn’t understand why I felt so bad that his night seemed ruined. It was too hard to squeeze between the dancing people and make sure to keep my eyes on Alpha Hunter; I was too scared I would get lost in this place. But then I could feel my patience slowly slipping to its limit."I said stop! What’s wrong with you!? Are you not getting tired of collecting women just to abuse them?! "Alpha Hunter stopped and glared at me as a low snarl ripped into his throat. He was clearly overreacting, wanting me to feel as if I had done the worst thing to him!But I was not scared of him anymore.From the crystal glass window peeked the silver full moon, cascading its brightness upon Alpha Hunter like a spotlight on him. His silver hair glowed, and his eyes glinted scarlet as he raised his head and smirked. His razor-sharp te
My head was spinning.My baffled mind failed to take in what happened between me, Alpha Hunter, and that blonde lady. It felt like a bleary nightmare. When I tried to recall what happened, my head just went spinning. Like, part of my memories were too blurry and painful to remember.It was so hard to move. Every inch of me was aching. But I doubt anything happened between me and Alpha Hunter because his attention was all caught by that blonde girl who never left his side until both of them decided to leave. I saw both of them walking towards the door before I fell unconscious. And that monster didn’t even give me a single glance.My heart shattered into millions of pieces. I wanted to scream at him to come back. But I was too weak to speak. Only tears fell from my face until I came to the realization that I was just nothing to him but part of his entertainment.I could hear my shallow breathing as I squinted at the light that scattered in the small room when someone turned on the swit
[ALPHA HUNTER’s Point-of-View] My brain felt like it was being sliced by a sharp, hot knife. The severe throbbing made me wince. I hissed between my teeth and ignored the pain as much as I could. Everything was in slow motion with that annoying ringing in my ears. All my senses were weakened by something that swirled eerily around the room. Thin smoke? The strange, sweet, and nauseating scent that wasn’t in my room before. Vanilla... I frowned when I saw lit candles on top of my bedside table. I groaned, feeling so annoyed. I had never used any scented candles before. They tend to ruin my nose. I felt something warm beside me and was expecting to see the beautiful face of my mate—Cassandra Clark. But my eyes widened when I saw someone else instead. A blonde lady with a small, pretty face sleeping next to me! But what caught my attention was the red mark on her neck. It looked deep and fresh until I realized the greatest mistake I had made. A mark! I just marked this woman as my L
[CASSY’s Point-of-View]"I need to talk to you…""Get out, Monica! I don’t want to talk to anyone."I never wanted anyone to see how swollen my eyes were, so I pressed my face hard on the pillow when Monica suddenly approached me on the bed. I already told all the maidservants not to get inside my room. I still couldn’t believe that Alpha Hunter had totally forgotten me. Even my name! I wanted to help him. But how? I was new to his territory and didn’t know anyone besides Beta Weston, who was too busy to talk to. I felt alone and helpless. I thought perhaps Sandra was right. I was only a weak Omega who had nothing to offer their young Alpha. I used to be his mate. But after he marked that woman, I had no purpose in this place anymore.I couldn’t believe Monica’s audacity, though. She still went inside with a straight face despite my warning."It’s very important, Miss Clark. I want to help you." she murmured anxiously and sat on the edge of my bed with her sad eyes looking at me. "The
It took almost half a day for my swollen ankle to heal.I realized that the whole thing was too exhausting for me when I didn’t have any plans to be with Alpha Hunter. He was my might, yes. But after all the awful things he did to me and that absurd thing he did when he marked Sandra instead of me like a possessed being, I thought that I already had enough and just wanted to go home.That woman. Sandra Anderson. I could still remember that viper stare in her eyes when Alpha Hunter asked me who I was. When he completely forgot me. That annoying grin on her face was victorious. As if she looked like she did something to him that actually worked.To get rid of the bad feelings in my chest, I shut my eyes tight and exhaled in exasperation. I was thankful to Monica for telling Beta Weston that I needed a laptop so badly to communicate with my Dad. I guess after that strange thing happened to me yesterday, sending snail mail was the last option for me to tell my Dad I was still alive in thi
I squinted my eyes.There was a little boy in the dungeon with me! I couldn’t believe how all those people could detain such a small child in a horrible, dark, and cold prison cell like this! At first, I didn’t move. I just stayed staring at him because he was so still while sitting on a block of rock. His elbows both rested on his knees, while his face stayed hidden under his silver hair. His hair reminded me of Alpha Hunter, though, which brought me back to the unfortunate situation I was in because of Sandra!The first thing I did was to stay calm and not scare the little boy, so I slowed my breath and sat on the rocky floor silently. There was an eerie silence after I decided not to act like a lunatic beast in front of a kid, and so I asked with a soft voice, "Who are you, kid?"The boy lifted his face, and for seconds, I was surprised when the dim light from the torches reflected his icy blue eyes. His glare felt familiar to me when his eyes caught mine. I thought he was just aro
[MONICA’s Point-of-View]A loud, shattered noise almost made me jump while I was so focused on preparing Miss Clark’s bath.I knew the uncertainty and fear she must feel while staying in this place. After the unfortunate disaster that happened when Alpha Hunter forced Miss Clark away from her parents, now she had to deal with the sudden change of heart of the man who was supposed to take care of her and protect her as her mate.I was hopeful that Miss Clark would finally have a good advantage in this place after her birthday. That Alpha Hunter would finally give her the mark that would bind their fate. My heart was broken when, instead of having a wonderful night, I saw her sleeping naked and alone in one of the dungeons of one of the most expensive clubs in the city. The Albrecht Household was so shocked that most of us maidservants who liked Miss Clark were so depressed and sad about what happened.Even Beta Weston couldn’t believe that their Alpha chose someone so random that they
