"ALPHA EDGAR DARKMOON!" Anna yelled as she looked at my face. The name was already enough for them to know who the man was.
The wine sputtered out of my mouth the moment Anna said Edges' name. I began coughing violently, unaware that I had spluttered the liquid all over the food on the table. Instead of getting mad at all the food getting ruined, Anna was stunned.
Even Dylan was flabbergasted when he heard the name. "Alpha Edgar? Light, you are done for!" he said. Dylan was the son of Alpha Willaims who was also a partner with Edge’s company. The shock on his face was clear enough to show the effect of Edge’s name on him.
I shuddered at the thought. 'Damn it! Does he know my face? Or my name?'
“Shit!” Anna hissed, her fingers moving over the screen of the phone quickly. She brought the phone close to her eyes, “people are going mad in comments.”
She then sat back down on the couch and started reading the comments out loud, “Twilight you have lost your mind. How dare you force yourself on Alpha Edgar?”
“Crazy stalker. I always knew she was a slut.”
“She has gone absolutely mad. How can she kiss someone like the Alpha King like that?”
“I am going to kill you, Twilight. You stole my man. He was supposed to be mine.”
“God… the poor man looks so shocked. Twilight attacked him like a wild fucking animal. So disgusting.”
“Nice going! I wish I was there to join you, Twilight! I would never miss a chance like that too.”
I flipped my head toward Anna, horrified. Out of shock now, I jumped toward her and snatched the phone out of her grasp. “Delete the video, moron!”
“Whyyyyy…” Anna whined, attempting to snatch her phone back.
“Anna, one of these days I am going to be in jail for murder. And you are going to be the one laying in the morgue with your eyes gouged out and your tongue on the table.” I growled, “you are bringing out my psycho level, don’t test me.”
Anna pouted and slumped down on the couch. I quickly deleted the the post, but the damage was already done. So many people must have already seen the video.
I abruptly said, "You guys have fun. I need to leave now."
I waved my hand to them and walked out of the club. The cool breeze hit my face but the effect of the drink had already faded. I brought out my phone to hire a cab, but a car came to a stop right in front of me. I looked up in surprise.
“Rhett sent me to pick you up.” The familiar man said. I had seen him in the training ground with other warriors.
I got inside the back seat. The car drove off.
‘I hope Edge doesn’t recognize me! Otherwise, he might be thinking that I regret asking for the annulment and just jumped at him to get his attention.’
Leaning against the back of the seat, I kept thinking about what happened.
In our world, it had gotten almost impossible to find a destined mate in the modern word. My parents and Edge’s parents had been friends back then. When I was born, they decided that instead of letting us spend a long lifetime without a partner, they will set us together so we both can have a great future.
His parents died early on, when he was young in a car accident. There was always news about Edge ever since he returned back to settle in our country when he turned eighteen. He came from the linage of Lycans, so the entire world was in anticipation to know if his wolf was a Lycan as well. Lycans were same as wolves, but they had the power to command other alpha wolves. As a result, Lycans were considered a royalty, born only once every few centuries and called ‘the Alpha King’. After Edge’s first shift, it was publicly declared that he had a Lycan as well.
I had met his parents when they came to our house when I was little. I had never come across such nice people. Since Edge was studying out of country from early childhood, I never got to meet him. Then my parents died six years ago in an attack at our home when I was thirteen.
Three years later, after I turned sixteen, that is when I heard from Mr. Olsen, Edge’s accountant and personal caregiver. He said he was assigned by Edge to take care of anything that I needed since I was Edge’s fiancee. Edge must have been twenty two years old then because Mr. Olsen said that I and Edge had a six years old gap.
But not once did Edge consider to meet the woman that he had as his fiancee.
He was always busy with work and spent most of his time overseas to take care of business. On the other hand, even when he was in the city, he stayed at his pack. We had different social standing, different friends, and company. There was no way for us to come across each other, not even once in all these past years.
Actually, I never even knew that I was engaged to him until I was contacted by Mr. Olsen. My parents never told me about it. And it was not until now that I got to see Edge face-to-face. Rhett also got to know about it on the same day. Mr. Olsen had been supporting both of us after our parents died as friends of our parents. Rhett was almost twenty when it happened.
Edge always kept a low profile, so it was very rare when a picture or two would pop up in a magazine or on the TV.
There was a picture though that stayed stuck in her mind. A couple of years ago when he was snapped by a magazine. People said that his arm was around the waist of another female alpha during a high-class event. But before I could see it, the image had already been deleted.
Now, I finally saw my fiancee.
And I kissed him in our first meeting only! Well, if he had signed the annulment papers already, he would be my Ex- fiancee.
There were rumors that Edge was already surrounded by women. But there was also a rumor that he hated the women who threw themselves at him.
That thought made me almost scream my lungs out.
‘Fuckkk!! I seriously hope he didn’t recognize me!’ I begged the heavens silently.
‘No one called my name. And he has never seen my face. So maybe he doesn’t recognize me.’ I continued with my thoughts.
I gripped my blushing face and buried it in the back of the seat in front of me, remembering everything that happened tonight. ‘If he already knows who I am, he is going to hate me, for sure. But maybe that would be better. If he thinks that I am the kind of girl who throws herself at men, he will sign the engagement annulment papers without any hesitation.’
The car came to a stop in front of my house. I got out, and lifted my head up, only to flinch back immediately.
Rhett stood at the entrance door, his pissed gaze pinned on me. My life is fucked!
Rhett had seen the picture.
I clutched the sides of my dress as I inched closer to him with dreading steps. Nobody scared me in the entire world. Except Rhett. The way his eyes were filled with anger right now…. I wondered if it was hatred instead. There was a very thin line between both anyway. Rhett stood with his hands on his waist, his muscular form towering over my small one. I lifted up my eyes and brought it until his chest, unable to lift them more up to look into his eyes. “I- I was- it-” I stammered, trying to find words to explain. Rhett’s hands dropped from waist to his sides. Clenched fists, breathing heavy. “Training. 4 AM.” He growled out the words, turned around, and stormed back inside the house. I waited until I could not hear his footsteps anymore. Once there was not even a peep, I let out the breath that I was holding from so long, and slumped in relief. I tapped on my phone screen that showed it was One am already. Damn it! Climbing up the stairs, I quietly ran inside the dark house
The entire morning was spent chilling in the grand swimming pool of Wilderings Inn resort even though I did not know how to swim. The tubes came in handy to support my body, though I was already very petite. Anna, on the other hand, was more on the chubby side, so it was fun watching her struggle and cry out why this tube is too short for her boobs. Wilderings Inn was one of the most famous resorts in the city, giving access to only the most privileged peopled. With Dylan by our side, who was the heir to one of the most influential families working in the real estate business, we easily got access to this place. With an open ceiling, the sky covered in dark clouds that were trickling down on us as we played in the large private pool, and the line of so many snacks placed on the edge of the pool, we didn’t realize when hours passed. By four in the noon, we got dressed in casual clothes again. “This was fun.” I grinned at them, rubbing my wet hair with a towel. “What should we do n
“HEY! You are here too?!” I exclaimed, immediately approaching Kane, “how have you been?”Kane was so surprised that before he could even utter a word, he was grabbed by his arm, and dragged to the side by me.I was pretty sure that my entire face was contorted in panic as I kept praying Kane keeps his mouth shut for now. I can not let Edge know about my identity! The last time we met I kissed him and now again we came across each other! If Kane spat it out right now, Edge will obviously believe that I did everything on purpose so he would pay attention to me.“Mr-”“Oh come on, it’s me, Kane! Twilight!” I quickly wrapped my arm around his neck, pulling him down playfully and changing the subject. I told him already to not call me Mrs.! He is going to blow my cover. I dragged him even more far to make sure we were well away from Edge.Kane’s face was filled with confusion as if a thousand questions were in his head with no answer.“Mrs. Darkmoon, what’s wrong? Alpha has not seen you b
Blaze… our alpha’s son.Throughout my last two years of high school, he had been my ‘secret friend’. I had a crush on him because he was always good to me. We had secret night outs, fun games, and everything else that friends do. I had naively thought that there was something between us. A special connection. I had fallen for him.That dream got ruined when out of the blue he announced to me that he was leaving the country to complete his college degree and I should just forget about everything that happened between us because his sister, Mariana was obviously not a big fan of mine. He said ‘my sister would not like it if she found that you and I are friends.’He said all that with a smile as if it was just an obvious fact and break
The mean girl gang and some other pack members cheered in the victory for Curtis. I was breathing heavily, barely able to catch my breath. The pain in my head had disappeared as fast as it had come so that was a relief at least. But still, my entire body was aching. I felt weak, and a little shaky.Dylan and Anna had scowls on their faces, but the moment I stepped up on the hill, both of them ran to me with some pack members who were cheering for me.“You were about to win! You almost made Curtis a loser, Light! I never knew that you are so great at running!” one of the boys cheered, slapping my shoulder.“For sure. You are the real winner today!”Their words brought a grin to my face.
EdgeMeanwhile, several hours ago at the Sigma Group Headquarters, a man strode out of the main building surrounded by bodyguards. Edgar’s secretary, Kane, opened the doors for him to get in before taking his seat, and driving off to a meeting. Keeping his back straight, Edgar rested his head on the back seat, and closed his eyes.Strangely, the first thing that flashed across his mind was the girl been coming across so often now.Barely a week ago, he had just finished a meeting at the Heavens Glaze Bar. The Sigma group was as large as any property business could get. Being the owner of one of the largest real estate companies in the industry, his work was never ending. Taking off his suit jacket, he chucked it into the back seat to drive back home.At that very moment
Twilight“Banish me?” I stared at Beta Archer in bewilderment. My mind was still trying to understand what exactly was happening right now.“The video of you screaming the words at the hill was displayed publicly at one of his important events. He has already asked his men to look into the matter.What the hell was he even talking about? What video? What public display?Perhaps he saw the confusion on my face pretty clearly. He asked me to check the latest news on the phone later on“Edge called me and asked me to banish you from our pack. I am assuming Edge would not ask me to banish you simply because of a viral video. Do you know him? Has anything happened between you two in the past that might have displeased him?”Without a pack there was no way for me to survive. I did not want to leave my friends, Rhett when I already did not have much time left. I didn’t want to die being hunted by rogues to become their last meal. Even though I was panicking, I met Beta Archer’s gaze and ans
The moment Edge arrived, a commotion started in the castle. The festivities started, and the party commenced. Despite having an aggressive personality, I knew this was the time for me to start staying out of trouble. It was never like I was the one who wanted to get into conflicts with Edge. He kept on testing my patience every time we came across each other. And now at this point, I just wanted to stay out of his eyesight like I don’t even exist in this world. As I slipped back in the dining area, I noticed Beta Archer entering the hall with the alpha of our pack, Fenriz. The crowd dispersed to engage in chats. Several groups had been formed by people to drink, cheer, laugh and gossip. From the faces, everybody appeared happy. However, behind all those smiles most of these people just hid political gains, and shallow wishes from each other. There was nothing genuine among them. Edge stood with a group of people with Willa by his side. With a smug smile on his face, Edge had tur
