Alonso.Dad stood to his feet just in time as the howls of wolves were heard all throughout the forest.They are coming, I turned to Annabella and she started shouting at the warriors to assume their positions. Thank goodness the women and children had been placed in the safe spot because that would have a tragic end.Everyone is ready,even though they are nervous there ready because today we don't only fight for ourselves we fight for our kind.A loud swosh was heard over us and then bodies began to drop to the floor like rain drops, some are ours some are there's.Then like a war in ancient times they came running from the forest looking like ants towards us. I looked at Annabella, my father, beta and gamma and then we ran in without thinking.Spells are being cast from above heads as the ground swallows some and vines from trees pull some deep into the forest.You could hear them scream grunt and moan each life that was connected to me ripping from my chest as they leave the ear
Alonso Prologue.When did it start, when did I start to love her, to long for her, to need and want her?Was it the first day she walked into my room with the messed up hair and baggy sweatpants, or was it the day she accidentally spilled my coffee all over the counter and scrambled trying to clean it up?I've never been this lost and confused before, never been empty and full at the same time.I'm longing for her smile and lusting for her touch so much it's driving me crazy, insane.Furthermore, I've always lived In my bubble after the accident and didn't care for life or anyone around me.When did I start caring to walk again to be able to fight to be the old me again most of all, when did I start wanting to be more not for me but her?To take revenge on those who did her, wrong, on those who did me wrong. I have to do it, if not for me for her, but there's a part of me that wouldn't let me, a part of me that keeps holding me back.Is it shame, fright, my past, or what the future wi
Annabella prologueIt's funny how things work, if you asked me: do you think within the next five years you'd be married to the richest man in the world, I’d say no?If you asked me what secrets I hold: I’d say nothing, I hold no secrets because I don't have any.And if you ask me do believe in love after everything that happened to me: I’d say no, because love is just a word people use to make others feel good.But today I think differently, why?Is it because a man who sits in a wheelchair has shown me more love and affection and attention than anyone in my entire life has shown me?He looks at me every day and tells me he loves me, that he's happy I barged into his life on that fateful day, but why? Why am I afraid to repeat those words?Is it fear, or fright or is it my mind's way of holding me back, what if he gets better and leaves me behind? Or what if he gets tired and can't take it anymore?An orphan girl with nothing to her name, what can I possibly offer him, what could I
“You're not welcome here.” that's the only thing that came out of my mouth,“I'm not welcome anywhere, so that's not a first,” she replied, leaving me a bit taken backI'm now rolling towards her, looking over her inch by inch, messy hair, skinny, signature baggy clothes, and gray eyes.I've never looked into her eyes before.Normally when I see her I shift my gaze to something, anything that would distract me from the horrific sight which is her.“Go back home and tell your father I'm not interested.” I slammed the door in her face and rolled away.What did that stupid beta think, sending his daughter over here in the pouring rain? I don't put anything past him, not after what he did to me two years ago.FLASHBACK BEGINS.“The doctor said if you go to therapy you should be able to walk again.” father said,“I'm never going to walk, so let’s just forget about what the doctor said,” I replied,We arrive outside our house and Bryan dad’s beta opens the door for him. Then he comes around
My first shift.The day starts like all my other days, waking up before everyone in the house to be able to use the bathroom, start the laundry and start breakfast.The morning time is the only time I feel at peace, the sun rising and the birds chirping warms my insides, today the sky looks so clear and blue.No clouds, birds nothing, just an empty sky with bright morning sun.The blueberry pancake batter hits the pan leaving a delicious small roaming around the kitchen, the grease from the bacon matching with the smell of freshly cooked eggs is heaven.I set the table and have my breakfast first as I usually do, then wash my dishes and plate my mother, father, and younger brothers' food.They come out from their rooms one by one, taking their seats and without hesitation begin digging in, my brother looks over at me and smiles.Father says his often grumpy thank you and mother, well, she typically spears me a glance and continues with her meal.The atmosphere changes suddenly.It wa
THE BROKEN ALPHA.“Yes father, I'm going to get mother now, yes I'm taking her to the mall, yes I'll get her whatever she wants.”“How many times have I told you to stop spoiling her, she's picking up an attitude that when I tell her no, she runs to you. Stubborn woman.” father said,“Should I tell her what you've said?”“Now why would you go and do that son, do you like seeing me miserable.”? We both laughed over his comment before hanging up.I got into my car and headed for the hospital to get my mother from her check-up. She hasn't been feeling too well these past couple of days and feared it was something bad.She's standing at the hospital entrance waiting for me with a white envelope in her hands, smiling. I stopped and opened the passenger's door for her to get in, then headed to the mall.“What did the doctor say?”“Guess,” she replied,“You're not aging.” She hit me with the envelope across my head and I laughed.“I'm pregnant.”“You're lying.”“No, look, see a baby.”“I hav
“Hi, I’m Morpheus.”His voice is deep, his eyes are black and gold, and his fur is brown with streaks of black and shiny. I couldn’t look away, no matter how much I wanted to, no matter how much my insides begged me to because I know Alonso wouldn't want me to see him this way.“I’m…. Annabella, it's a pleasure to meet you.”“Hello Annie, can I call you that?”“Am… sure.“How are you, how are you enjoying your stay and how is my human friend treating you?”“It’s better than being in the house I used to live in, and as for Alonso, he’s treating me fine… I guess.”“Do you have a wolf, Annie?”“No, I don’t have one.”“Why were you born without one?”“No, I just don’t…. We don’t have a connection the way you and Alonso do.”“Ohh… We don’t have a connection, he let go of me a long time ago… I usually come out when he’s asleep.”“Really…”Yes…”“Let this be our little secret, he’s a little… Grumpy.”“Let this be our little secret, I know.”We both laugh, but I laughed more than him because
ALONSO.I could tell she was uncomfortable before I even get the chance to say what I wanted to say, what do I want to say I'm usually not the one left speechless but today at this very moment I am.But why did she do that, why did she let me touch her does she consider me to be a husband, or did she do it out of pity? Either way, she shouldn't have done it, or should she have I'm confused.“Go back to bed, it's nothing.”She nodded and crawled back under the blanket and drifted off to sleep leaving me awake looking out at the black and white sky, as much as I would rather not admit it having someone laying next to me in bed is a great feeling, even if she was forced to do it.I turn to look at her and smile, she's a nice person a little weird but nice it's a shame she's stuck by my side, I will have to come up with some sort of plan when the time is right to get her out of this marriage and set her free to live a life she deserves.The rough winds become subtle, and I slowly drif
