Alex's emotions were raw and strong. I could feel them all over the place. Something was definitely eating him up. When I felt him coming back to the house, I ran to him, hugging him. Despite asking him severally what was wrong, he didn't tell me and kept insisting that he wanted me in his arms. When he kissed me, I allowed him to. And it was intense, unlike his normal kisses. I could taste his desperation and hunger. He then pushed me to the sofa, kissing my neck. I was scared because this wasn't Alex, he would never force me.I tried to resist but his beast growled in protest." He is unstable. You should comfort him." My wolf, Melody said at the back of my mind.Choosing to listen to her, I allowed Alex to do as he pleased. I caressed his back soothingly as he ravaged my mouth.After a few minutes, the kisses turned passionate and I could tell that my Alex was back ."Alex?""I am sorry. I...I just lost it." He said, getting off me."What happened?"He sighed and closed his eyes, l
Valeria chuckled awkwardly." What could I possibly hide from you? Don't get strange ideas in your mind." She replied but I could tell that she was indeed hiding something." Since you won't tell me, then I'll have to ask Alex himself." I declared and walked away from the clinic, heading towards Alex's office.Valeria ran behind me, trying countless times to stop me but a single glare from me was enough to stop her.I know for a fact that she will never do anything to harm me.In no time, I was outside Alex's office. I was about to push the door open when a female voice resounded making me halt in my steps." Aren't you happy that I am back? You promised me that you would marry me and make me your bride, won't you fulfill your promise Alex? Even if it's not for me, do you want your son to grow up fatherless? He was so excited when he heard that he would finally meet his father. Are you cruel to watch him grow without a father and break his heart?"I stood there frozen, unable to move
" You didn't kill them? But how? You are the only person here?" Valeria questioned but I shrugged. That was the truth anyways, I didn't kill them with my bare hands." Valeria, enough with your questions. She doesn't seem too well. We should head back to the pack." Leo suggested.I pulled away from Alex before walking the opposite direction." What are you doing? Come back home with me." Alex called, his words making me halt in my movement." Home..." I mumbled, the word feeling familiar yet too unfamiliar from my lips." Linda..." Alex started but I cut him off before he could say anything else." I need to think, Alex, I'll be back later." I replied. Honestly, I hoped that they could leave me alone. I wanted to be alone and think, perhaps moan my loss and I couldn't do that with them keeping their eyes on me." I know you are angry with me but can you stop being unreasonable Linda?" Alex questioned, his words rubbing me the wrong way." Unreasonable huh? Do you think I am being unre
" So, you already know?" My mother's defeated voice asked." I Just guessed it." I replied, not surprised by her answer. After everything that happened, I doubted that I was just a regular werewolf. There's no way a regular werewolf's blood would be able to kill a vampire but if it just happened. After contemplating everything that happened back then, I figured out that it was my blood that killed those vampires. Above all, I feel like something else has awakened in me.I can't feel my wolf even after calling her out many times. Everything drives me into making one conclusion; I am not a regular werewolf." Who the hell am I? Who are my parents?" I asked." It's hard for me to explain everything right now. It's not safe. " My mom said while looking, breathing heavily." No matter what happens though , Lind, you will always be my beloved daughter, my biggest treasure. " My mother added and I smiled, even knowing that she wouldn't see me.She doesn't need to tell me. I have always felt
Alex POV" You should know Alex, Linda is my friend and I don't want her getting hurt. You should also know that the land needs her. I don't care what you have between that woman and you, just make sure you handle the situation well." Valeria barked at me. I could see the disappointment in her eyes.Yes, I know that I fucked up big time but I thought Rosabella was dead. I never knew she lived, much less have a son for me.I can count the number of times Rosabella and I were intimate. If she was pregnant back then, why didn't she tell me about this? And why did she have to wait until now to come back? It's like her appearance was timely. Just when I was planning to announce Linda and my mate and the Lycan Queen, she comes back with a son?Why did she leave in the first place and why didn't she try contacting me all those years?I don't buy her bullshit that she lost her memory that night and only recovered then just now. How strategic, Just after finding my mate? " You Know that I'll
" Linda?" The three of them called at the same time, shock apparent on their faces. They didn't expect to see me here, much less catch them talking about me."Tell me Alex, how long have you known about this or did you know all along and played me for a fool all this time? You never brought me here because we are mates but because you were planning to use me all along. You just wanted to use me to bait my mother? How could you do that? " I accused him unscrupulously, the pain in my chest multiplied tenfold.Now I even doubt that Rosabella's return is his plan too." Leave us!" Alex ordered and both Valeria and Leo nodded before walking away.Valeria gave me a glance, shaking her head at me but I was too drowned in anger to even decipher the meaning of her actions .Have you ever felt your world tearing apart because everything you knew about yourself was all a lie ? That was what I was feeling at that moment. Broken and shattered, used and discarded and trust me, that has got to be th
" Linda, can you stop being unreasonable? I know you are hurt but can't you put yourself in Alex's shoes?" Valeria questioned, her tone disapproving."Unreasonable huh? How am I being unreasonable Valeria?""Linda, can't you see that you are only pushing him away by refusing to talk to him? And yes, you are being unreasonable. Have you ever considered the fact that perhaps Alex knew nothing about the existence of that woman and her son?''Valeria asked, trying to make me see reason."How can he not know? That's impossible!" He's the father, how can he not know that he got someone pregnant."Believe It or not, that's the truth. It wasn't until yesterday that Alex knew that the woman he thought was dead was still alive and that with a son she claimed to be his." Valeria explained."So what you are trying to say is that he didn't know about the boy." I asked for confirmation, trying to process what I was hearing."That's exactly what I am trying to say. Rosabella was believed to be dead y
" Something else?" Valeria asked and I nodded." Yes, I seem to feel something pulsating inside me. I felt it when those vampires tried escaping. I did not attack them, but something else did. Something emanating from my body." I explained and Valeria seemed deep in thought. " What are you thinking about?"" The way you are describing the situation sounds like how unsealed power reveals itself ." She said, " Abilities are usually related to the race of a being. But they can evolve or change when something major happens, such as the user reaching a certain level alternatively, it could be because your power was sealed and it was forced out because of a circumstance. In your case, the second option seems more feasible. " Valeria explained." But Melody said nothing about it. I can feel it, she's clueless about the whole thing. " I muttered loud enough for Valeria to hear." That's because she's clueless. That's not her power. It's another power hidden inside you." She explained, making
