~Victoria~My life is like a roller coaster. Once, my life was so peaceful, even though I had few friends. I fell into the abyss when my parents died, and then I was pulled deeper and deeper into a black hole when Ace destroyed my life. I was on the verge of finding happiness at Alpha Jared's side until I learned my true identity.And here I am now. Back at Ace's side with twins, who are a miracle amidst all the pain I've been through.ButThe miracle wasn't just about my twins. It was about Ace. I felt it the first time I saw him holding my baby. I have to admit that Ace's demeanor was very different. He wasn't like the Ace I knew before. It wasn't as warm as Alpha Jared's attitude towards me, but I felt the change."He's a fast learner, isn't he?"I turned to find Beta Ben standing beside me. He was like a ghost until I didn't see him coming. I looked away and told him flatly, "I'm not impressed."Beta Ben chuckled as if my words were funny. "I wish you knew what he's been through s
Ace's seduction drove my wolf crazy. I'd had sex with Alpha Jared, but I'd never felt the thrill that I did with Ace. Our mate bond made it even hotter. It didn't take much for Ace to make me lose myself in passion. And Ace was right. I missed his touch. Every inch of my body ached for his touch.Ace pulled my head back and kissed my lips lustfully. His tongue explored the inside of my mouth as if he didn't want to miss a single part. Oh, my God! It made me so drunk. The harder he kissed me, the more my passion burned. Damn it! Ace made me look like a bitch who would fall into passion so quickly just because of a kiss.Fuck that bitch! My desire intensified, forcing my body to accept and reciprocate every pleasure Ace gave me. I grabbed his hair. I didn't let Ace stop.Ace pulled on my ass and spread my legs until we were fully facing each other. Ace's hands slipped into my blouse, roaming down my back, and then he unhooked my bra. I gasped and spontaneously broke the kiss. But Ace di
I shouldn't have trusted Ace in the first place. I hated him. I felt so stupid for falling for his temptation. And now I had to suffer the consequences myself. Ace had completely ruined my mood.The night I had just finished nursing my twins, Beta Ben came to see me."Ms. Russell, you've been invited to the conference room," Beta Ben said."What for? I'm not even sure I'm part of this pack anymore," I replied."I'm just relaying orders from Alpha Ace. And I advise you to come at once. Don't let Alpha Ace come get you himself because I'm sure you already know what he can do." Beta Ben tried to confront me.Ace was annoying. I hated it when he used his power to make me do what he wanted."Give me five minutes," I said gruffly."I don't mind waiting for you." Beta Ben smiled like everything was fine. Of course, nothing was fine when it came to Ace.I let out a heavy sigh and headed for the conference room. Beta Ben walked behind me, following me as if to make sure I only went into the co
After some consideration, I agreed to become Luna and lead this pack with Ace. However, I still had one question that was bothering me. What about Hayley? Before the coronation ritual, I visited Ace to ask about Hayley. I didn't want to do anything in the shadow of another figure. "Where is Ace?" I asked the servant I met. "He is in the ring, training the young warriors," the servant replied. Omegas like me don't have the fighting skills of warriors, but I've always been interested in them. When I heard that Ace was training the young warriors, I was interested in seeing him, in addition to my goal of meeting him. I heard shouts, groans, and other sounds as I approached the ring. Ace used the courtyard on the mansion's north side as a training center. I knew about it from Beta Ben. So, I quickly found the place. I saw Ace standing in the ring from a distance, facing two young warriors. I stopped at the oak tree and leaned against it while I watched Ace train his young warriors. T
It didn't take many more words to make me run over to my twins. My emotions were already frayed. I shed tears. I opened the door roughly. The sound of my babies' cries was shrill, filling all the air in the room."What happened to them?" Ace asked the nannies before me."Give her to me!" I reached out and asked for my baby girl.My baby cried until her face was red. Then I looked at my baby boy in Ace's arms. The same thing was happening to him. My babies continued to cry loudly."Honey, what's wrong? Why do you keep crying?" I held my baby, but she continued to cry."What did you give them?" Ace gave the nannies a sharp look.The nannies shook their heads in unison. "Nothing, Alpha. We've given them nothing but breast milk.""Then why are they like this?" Ace snapped at the nannies.Ace wasn't helping at all. All he did was give me more headaches. Then, almost at the same time, Beta Ben arrived."Alpha." Beta Ben greeted Ace, looking at us with some confusion. "What happened?" he ask
We were terrified. I hoped my twins wouldn't cry and let someone out there know where we were.There was another loud knock at the door. The ceiling and walls shook, kicking up dust. Holding my baby tightly, I called to the moon goddess for help."Victoria! Open the door!""It's Alpha Ace!" The nanny turned to me.It was. It was Ace's voice, and that was a relief."Hurry, open the door!" I ordered.The nanny nodded and unlocked the door. The door opened, and Ace stood there, breathing heavily."Ace?" My tongue spoke without a command.Ace's face turned red. His eyes scanned the room and stopped on me. Then he kicked his feet in and walked towards me.From where I stood, I could hear Ace's heavy breathing. I also saw blood stains on his clothes and face. He was limping slightly but didn't stop until he reached me.Ace put his palms on my shoulders and looked at my twins and my face. Then he asked, "Are you okay?"Ace's eyes were blinking hard. Even his breathing seemed to get harder. A
What Beta Ben said about the fever, I thought it was just a high temperature and cold sweat. But it wasn't at all what I had imagined. I couldn't close my eyes for a moment that night. I covered my ears with a pillow, but I could still hear Ace's cries of pain. And my wolf was dying in agony."It hurts so much." I should have been able not to care, even if Ace was dying. But my wolf kept begging me to come to Ace. And my body gave in. The pain had to stop.The pain inside me wouldn't stop if I just talked. So I decided to leave the room. Barefoot, I walked with doubt and pain toward Ace's room. With each foot I stepped on, I felt a deeper pain.In front of Ace's room, my feet stopped walking. Ace's screams broke my heart. My legs could barely hold on. After thinking for a moment, I made up my mind. I clenched my fists and dared to open the door.I first saw Beta Ben and his brother holding Ace's body. I stepped inside even though my whole body was shaking. I slowly approached the bed
For several nights, I went to Ace's room to calm him down. On the fourth night, his fever was no longer high. There were no more of Ace's screams that echoed throughout the mansion. He was already calmer. His condition was much better by then.However, Beta Ben's words from a few nights ago still ring in my ears. If it were true that Alpha Jared was part of the group that wanted the resurrection of Alpha King Salvatore, would he have been nice to me all this time to achieve that goal?"He's sleeping." The voice caught my attention. It brought me back from my reverie."Ace?" I twisted my body as I fixed my shirt.I was nursing my baby when Ace walked in. And I was quite surprised to see him."What are you doing here?" I asked as I turned to face Ace. His face was still pale. He should have stayed in the room to rest."I was worried about you." Ace leaned closer to me. "There's no point in covering this up." Ace glared at my breasts.I looked away. Even in pain, he was still very annoyi
