Chapter 45 Revenge MissionNIA’S POVA blush crept up my cheeks as I stared intently at the box of chocolate Ezra had gotten me. If he continues, I might fall head over heels in love with him. He is sweet and considerate, always showing up with goodies in hand whenever he comes to see me. Ezra and his sister make me feel alive like my world is complete. But it all fades away when none of them is nearby to assure me everything will be okay. I think I like Ezra, and I might want something beyond mere friendship with him; at the same time, I don't feel deserving of him.He deserves someone he can lean on. Someone to hold him up when he is down, and that implies a confident person for someone like Ezra, who has had to shoulder plenty of things growing up. He also needs to be pampered. I would love to be all of that for him, but I am too doubtful of myself. Also, what's the assurance he desires me differently? He is probably just being nice because Perry asked him to. As sweet as that migh
Chapter 46 Her obsessionGAEL’S POV“Hmmm.” I moaned softly, stretching out my arm on the couch while watching the lady bounce her head as she sucked my dick passionately. It feels so good just to get sucked and be relieved of whatever stress I might be going through.This week has been one hell of a week. I had meetings with different intending investors. I intentionally had them all scrutinized to be sure whatever they were bringing to us would be of greater good to the betterment of the pack. Not only that, but I got so busy that I didn't get to fuck for five straight days. It's very unlike me. Even now, I don't feel like fucking anyone. It's just best to get a blowjob. Every limb inside of me seems to have weakened with resolve.I can't get the half-breed off my mind, and I hate that. Even though the incident was over a week, I can't get over that look in her eyes. She was scared and tried to conceal it. I still haven't decided on what will become of this stupid family of hers. The
Chapter 47 On the LookoutGAEL’S POV“How could you let this happen to your Alpha? Who the hell is in charge of looking after the damn garden?! Have the person thrown in the dungeons!” Gemma hollered at the guards.She had gone bonkers this morning when she woke up to see the gash on my leg. Even though it didn't hurt much anymore, she insisted that the doctor come around to bandage it.My thoughts have gone far beyond the walls of the pack house. The half-breed is excellent at what she does—considering the fact we werewolves have a hard time healing from steel wounds, more like silver. She helped the pain not to get to me like it would on a typical day. I slept soundly and only remembered last night's incident this morning. It's pretty impressive.“Do it now!” Gemma yelled again, making me shift abruptly on the chair I saw gently.Smacking my lips, I looked towards the guards. “You don't need to bring anyone here. Just have a few men round up any harmful tools in the garden. The gard
Chapter 48 Wet DreamsNIA’S POVI woke up feeling a tingle in between my thighs. I can't believe I got so wild and made out with the Alpha in my dream. What’s this dream called? I have read it in a book. Wet Dreams?! Oh, my goddess! My eyes widened in realization. It's only been two close encounters, and I am already losing my mind. All through the night, I couldn't get him off my mind. In my frail mind, we might have a connection.I went to the bench last night, and he wasn't there. It bruised my ego and left me with raunchy thoughts of him.Dragging myself out of the bed reluctantly, I relaxed into the bathtub, letting myself get enveloped by the water. I feel so ashamed of myself. Even if the Gael had played cool two different times, how can that cover up for all the times he humiliated me and hurt me, too? I almost lost a leg because of his bitchy girlfriend. Now that we are on the matter, I should keep my distance. I have seen Gemma in action twice, and she doesn't appear like so
Chapter 49 The Honest TruthGAEL’S POVI kicked at the grassy ground, stretching out my neck to see if I could glimpse her in the dark. I have been standing here too long that I can't precisely tell when. I couldn't come out for two days straight because Gemma suddenly became clingy and promised to leave for home only when I stayed with her for forty-eight hours. I would have shooed her off, but that would have proven her father right about me.Nia has undoubtedly forgotten about me since I didn't show up.“Why not check the garden?” My wolf suggested.Oh, yes! The garden. I should have thought about that earlier. That seems like her favorite place around the pack house. I didn't know I would miss hanging out with her this much. I almost couldn't wait for the evening to come. I was excited, but it deflated the minute I didn't see her on the bench. I hurried toward the garden, and my heart raced when I sighted her by the tree, staring up into the dark sky like she was counting the star
Chapter 50 Not FriendsNIA’S POVWhen I opened my eyes, it was morning already. I didn't know when I slept off. I must have been tired. Dragging my lazy self from the bed, I got ready for the day and headed to the clinic after checking the greenhouse to be sure the plants were doing fine.My assistants seem to be a bit cheerful this morning, and I let it rub off on my gloomy self. Making my way to the office, I opened it with my head down as I shut it back. My heart practically leaped out of my mouth when I raised my head to find Gael seated in my chair.“Good morning, Miss Nia.” He mused, twirling in the chair. I glanced around the room hurriedly. “You don't need to worry, and I didn't sneak in. I came in from the main entrance. Your assistants can attest to it.”I see why they all seem different. Those traitors, none of them thought to give me a heads-up. My cheeks flushed as I remembered last night. Why the hell is he here? Probably to punish me for talking to him rudely.I gulped
Chapter 51 An Old FriendNIA’S POV“That asshole!” I cursed as I spread the bedsheet for the fifth time since I woke up. I almost didn't sleep through the whole night because I couldn't get his words out of my head. Who the fuck does he think he is? Coming at me like that and saying he isn't concerned about who I am. The audacity! He called me a clown. Me? A clown? That is just so below the belt; how dare he! Even if I am not born to a total household. I am a living being, and I should have as much respect as any other person would get. He is such a bastard!I tried not to think about it when he came at me suddenly. Or it probably just didn't dawn on me quickly. For a brief second, my stupid self almost fell for his change of heart. I thought we were getting to the point where we could be vulnerable with each other. Now that I think of it, I feel stupid. What was I thinking? Someone like Gael believes the world revolves around him, and any slight changes in the control he thinks he h
Chapter 52 Philosophical ThinkingGAEL’S POVBeta Ezekiel looks like he is a few feet away from the grave. It's not like he is too young to leave, no offense. But then, I didn't expect an ordinary shove to take him down. Throughout the night, I couldn't stop thinking of Nia's reaction to my rejection of our brewing closeness. I can't tell if I am hurt or angered by her disrespect. All the same, this is a new day, and I plan to forget that she ever existed.“How are you doing, Beta?” I asked. He didn't look pleased to see me, just like always. I guess it's the reason behind his pretentious close to death appearance. Like that would put a stop to Gemma's longing for me. Not even a potential suitor will keep me away.“I am getting better, thank you. I think it is time for Ezra to assume his position as your Beta. I want to take this as a means to retire.” He said.I nodded, folding my hands. “Sure, I can tell you need the rest, too. I apologize for whatever inconvenience serving the pack
