Chapter 36Lilia's PovThe Man staring at me right now was terrifying but still wickedly beautiful. His Irises blazed gold and his raven hair fell forward and covered part of his face. His claws were so visible, the twitch in his jaw was an expression of how irritated he was at the moment and there was something about him, about his expression, his claws, his eyes.It looked like death, terrifying and demonic which made me confused for a moment. If I had never seen a Lycan then I would have chosen to believe that they appeared this way.The black jacket he wore made him like a devil and the air cackled with a fear that I wasn't left out.If I saw his back only then I would have mistaken him for someone else and run for my dear life.I looked to my side and a feral gasp escaped my lips. The four men, including the driver, were lying lifeless on the brown sandy earth.My heart beat accelerated as I watched in anticipation, he wasn't moving but fixed his gaze on me, from head to toe and w
Contracted to the wrong AlphaChapter 37Lex's PovI thought I could avoid her, set a boundary, and continue peacefully till the contract is over.I wanted to concentrate on the Pack, the Parliament as my dad was thinking of making me take over the Presidential seat and increasing my company revenue.That was perfect for me and everyone, it was the reason why Lilia was in the picture, to stand as a personality to cover up in my personal growth and that's of the pack but I was failing woefully.I was dwindling terribly with each passing day. I saw the hurt in her eyes, and the expression of pain when she learned about her company.No matter how pissed I was at the fact that she tried to have her way with my brother. I want to believe her so badly but the conviction of how this lady hates me makes it hard. She might have done that to piss me off which made Xander twitch In displeasure.I was beginning to want more, I just wanted to see her smile at me for once in her entire existence of
Chapter 38Lilia's Pov I groaned in a hissing pain as the bright lights sent a force to my eyes, increasing the pounding pain that spread to the back of my head.I fluttered my eyes open to see a blur of the beautiful diamond lights above my head and the familiar nauseating smell of medicine twirled in my nose making a bile of irritated saliva pile up.I knew what happened, I remembered vividly that I was standing next to Jerry to ask him if he was in trouble, if he was going to be sacked, and if he would be okay but the old man saw my questions amusingly and laughed it out, telling me he was okay.We talked about the city, the Pack, Midnight Shade in particular, and the secrets they harbor which piqued my interest like honey. He talked about Lex's company and the challenges that come with working there in a day.The old man was too friendly to be a butler. I asked him about his children and he just smiled sadly which was a conviction that something bad must have happened.But all of
Contracted to the wrong AlphaChapter 39Lilia's Pov"Want more?" He asked me and I shook my head, pushing the plate of pasta and chicken away."I'm fine, let's go already!" I told him excitedly and he fought back a chuckle."It's just a normal job, don't get too excited," Raven told me and tried to get my bag but I swatted his hands away."Don't do that and stop acting like my bodyguard! You're a beta to a powerful Pack!" I told him again for the umpteenth time today.Raven was still reserved and stone cold but since Lex left for wherever he went, he began to loosen up. Treating me for breakfast and not even letting the maid I saw today serve me.I thought I saw a side of possessiveness in Lex but Raven was worse."You're Luna and not a speck of stress should be found near you..""You make it sound as if all this is real," I told him as I got into the car and he shrugged."At least, you're real." He said and drove out of the mansion. My heart settled at ease as we drove past the glas
Contracted to the Wrong AlphaChapter 40***Lilia's PovWhat was meant to be a blissful blessing for me by going out every day, became a curse in disguise.I hid my discomfort from Raven, I knew he would stop me immediately or confront Isabella but there was more to my work right now.I was being tossed here and there like some garbage truck and seen as nothing but an intern of the whole enterprise but something piqued my interest each passing day.Almost half of the workers were nonhuman, making me believe the majority would be from the Mid Nightshade Pack which scared the wits out of me, another thing was the dubious acts and crimes involved.I might not be a business expert but I know illegal deals and signatures on files that have nothing to do with the company's revenue. Isabella wasn't left out as I carried files from all corners for signing, the men knew I was a wolf and that tripled my suffering.I took awareness of all of them, aside from the front desk lady working for Lex s
Contracted to the wrong AlphaChapter 41Lilia's PovBlood drained my face and my knuckles became white as my co-workers stared at the man on the floor, what was worse was the fact that he wasn't moving.He lay there lifeless and a chunk of dreadful thoughts washed through my head.'Is he dead?''Would I be arrested? Gosh! It's just a punch!'I muttered under my breath and two men and a lady sprang into action as if they'd been waiting for a moment like this."You bitçhy wolf! What have you done?" The lady glared at me, the two men carried the man up to move outside and Lee rolled her eyes at me."He's such a softie! We didn't punch him too hard."I agreed with my wolf, nodding in agreement but the lady seemed to be more agitated than ever.She's in the marketing department, always with the blue ribbon tied to her head. The look she gives me any time I'm sent there is clear evidence she detests me.I wasn't welcomed in this company! No one likes me and I don't give a damn. If Tessy co
Chapter 42****Lex's Pov"That's not going to happen, Alveria!" I snapped at her and the shock that contorted her face was visible but I care less.I might withdraw the affiliates I have with Green Howling Pack for Killing their Alpha but I would not render an apology and make Lilia serve the pack for a month to make an appeasement. They might kill her and give a flimsy excuse."But that's the normal thing to do Alpha! The Alpha of Ring Shadow pack was an example when he killed a fellow Alpha as a mistake. You shouldn't let stubbornness cloud your reasoning or a war might break out soon!" Alveria insisted but as much as she was right, I'm not doing that shit.Ryker did something horrible and I acted, my actions shouldn't be judged. Other packs know that too well than to mess with me, not even my father would dare say a word. Having Alveria as the Pack Priestess was making me begin to question my authority, I can't believe that I would have to present my actions towards her to be judg
Chapter 43Lex's Pov****I raked my hands on my hair fluffily as I strode downstairs. The sun gave a glow in the house making everywhere bright as I slowly sipped the hot coffee from the mug.The house was quiet and silent save for Jerry who kept making clacking sounds in the kitchen.My body tensed up when I realized that Lilia wasn't there, I could feel it.Dread washed over me as the first thought that came into my mind was the fact that she fled again and immediately I'm on my phone, calling my beta desperately and feeling pissed at my reaction.I was still trying not to believe the fact that I jerked myself out thinking about her! It's absurd but the feeling was out of this world.If only I hadn't tasted her, if only I didn't know what she felt like then I wouldn't have been battling with these confused emotions swirling all over me."Where the fuck are you?" I growled at Raven and he released a frustrated sigh at the other end."Lex's Enterprise." He blurted out and I wonder if
