ShannonI saw his Beta come in holding two envelopes came in, Vernon let go of me immediately upon hearing Terry's name. He turned to face his Beta, I couldn't see his expression, but I could hear him sneering.When his Beta walked closer, I could see that one of the envelopes had my name on it. But Vernon quickly blocked my line of sight, he turned around to face me again."I'll go handle this. You can stay here or feel free to use any of the rooms I just showed you. If you need anything, just ask the maid. Okay?"I nodded but I kept thinking about the letter. My gaze never left the letter. He took them from his Beta, and he was walking out of the door."Vernon..." I couldn't help but call out to him once I saw he reached the door. I wanted to see the letter."What?"He looked back but didn't turn around, I could see the coldness in his eyes. I suddenly lost the courage to ask him for the letter. So I shook my head."Nothing."He stopped for a minute and left without looking back. I
ShannonDomenica and Nora were at a loss for words, they didn't expect Vernon to ask them for permission. And they didn't know if they should say yes or not. So they turned to look at me instead."It's alright, you go first," I told them. So they nodded and head back inside the Pack House.I wondered what he wanted to do though.He kept his hands on my shoulders, it was awkward like he was pushing me to walk, so I tried to shake him off, he laughed lightly and then moved his hand down to my lower back.He was leading me to the front of the Pack House."I might need to invite your friend for a few questions regarding their Packs."He finally spoke his mind and I knew he meant he needed to interrogate them, but that was the first time I heard someone speak so lightly and politely about an interrogation."Please go easy on them. If you need to know anything you could ask me as well. But I won't betray my pack members." I said as I saw something flick in his eyes."I appreciate your hones
Vernon"Vernon..." This is the first time I heard her call my name, too bad it was in a situation like this. I knew she wanted to ask about the letter, but I couldn't possibly just hand the letter to her like this."What?" I glanced back at her."Nothing."Her tone was almost sad, did his letters have such an effect on her? Anyway, I had to go.I went to my study to read the letters. My fist balled up as I read the letter, he was the leader of the region, he couldn't control his underlings and he wouldn't even take responsibility for his action.When I opened the second letter which was addressed to Shannon, I was even more furious, he called her his most precious possession, like she was an object to him.How did he have the nerve to call her his possession and then beg for her forgiveness and return? Adonis told me briefly about what happened between Shannon and him, but now I wondered what was his deal."Get me someone from the Crescent Manes Pack. I need someone that knew what hap
VernonI broke the kiss when I felt she was getting hard to breathe."Yes, you are not an object, but I really want you to stay.""Do you mean that if I want to leave, I could actually leave?"I didn't answer this question, I was afraid that if I said yes, she would actually leave. I didn't want to show her that I was desperate for her to stay.She smiled when she noticed my silence, I looked down and her to see her eyes sparkle."I won't go, I don't want to be a rogue, and I don't want to go back to him. His letter made me cry, not because I was moved by him, I was mourning our past. I couldn't forgive his betrayal."So that was why she cried, I thought she was still in love with him. She was so clear-headed, confident, and beautiful. I could feel myself like her even more.She leaned in closer, it was like she was about to kiss me. I bent down as well, trying to adjust my height to her level so she could kiss me. I closed my eyes expecting to feel her warmth on my lips again, instea
ShannonI leaned in closer to make it seem like I was about to kiss him, when I saw him close his eyes, I turned my head to his ear."Now if you'd excuse me."I felt his burning gaze on my back as I walked away from him, especially on my ass. I was tempted to look back, but I held myself back.It seemed that he really cared about the fact I cried after reading Terry's letter.Terry said he wanted me back because I was his most precious possession, but Vernon thought that I could make my own decision because I wasn't an object.My husband for five years only wanted me back because I was his trophy wife, a strange Alpha I met not long ago who treated me with the respect I deserved. I couldn't help but think about how ironic this was.And that I should know better. I should have known from his attitude in the past. He hated whenever I wore anything pretty, he didn't want me to become a warrior, not because he cared about me. Because deep down, he viewed me as his possession.Sure, you wo
ShannonI woke up to hear the soft chirping of the birds, I slowly sat up to find myself alone in bed. Vernon wasn't here. I looked out of the window to see the sun had risen up, it must be well past 9 o'clock.Blood was rushed to my head after I remembered what happen last night. I was intimated with another man, although we didn't have sex fully, but still..."Are you getting all shy now" Kaela chimed in."Shut up.""I wasn't wrong, right? You should definitely try more man.""I don't need to, and shut up! I don't need to have this so early in the morning."Sensing my frustration, Kaela shut up. But the image of Terry and Kaia making out came to my mind again, any regret I had instantly disappeared. There was no going back now since Terry chose his fated mate over me.Where was Vernon though?I got freshened up in the bathroom and changed into something a little more formal. He did have great taste in fashion.I walked out of his room to find a maid waiting by the door."Where's you
ShannonThere was a light knock on the door."Alpha Vernon, it's time for your meeting now," Adonis said as he stood by the door."Alright, I will leave you to it." I nodded at Vernon as I turned to leave his office, he grabbed my wrist as he was reluctant to let me go."Don't go far, okay? You can explore the Pack House, use the library or the cinema if you feel bored.""I will." I didn't want to keep other people waiting for him, so I quickly walked out of his office without turning back.I felt my stomach grumble. I was hungry. I supposed I should head to the kitchen and grabbed something to eat.As I made my way to the stair, I passed several pack members, they all nodded to me and even said good morning, as if they knew who I was. I, of course, nodded back and told them good morning as well.But this got me thinking, what was I in this Pack?After I finished breakfast, I walked around the Pack aimlessly. I found the Bloodlust Furs Pack was really different from the Crescent Manes
Shannon"Lun... Miss Shannon, are you okay?" Adonis asked me as he carefully observed the wound on my arm.I twisted my head to check the wound, it was not deep, just a scratch. So I didn't know why he cared so much about the wound."I'm okay." Still, I gave him a reassuring smile. He showed kindness, I guessed I didn't want to worry him for no reason.Suddenly there was a round of applause, a much delayed one as if everyone was waiting to know that I was alright so that they could clap their hands.I was a little bit cocky after I won, but now with their applause, I was feeling a bit embarrassed."Miss Shannon, you did very well, but I would rather you not do this again. If you are hurt during the fight, the blame would be on us." Adonis said.It was weird to hear him say this, who would blame them? Vernon? I didn't think that I mattered this much. Besides, it was just a spar, I couldn't get seriously injured just from a spar."It's fine, no one would blame you. And it was just a spa
