(Kyle's POV)Stepping into the kitchen, I saw Seth wearing an apron that outlined his strong, slender waistline.I froze with my hand on the door frame.It was him!He was my second chance?!"Seth..."My voice was hoarse. He suddenly put down the food in his hands when he heard me and strode over to me. He picked me up easily and carried me over to the sofa."Can you..." I stumbled over my words, shocked at how calm he was. "Can you smell...?""Yes," Seth replied bluntly. "So what now, Kyle? We're already mates. Are you going to find more excuses to toss me aside?"As he spoke, he lowered his head, sniffed my neck, then bit and sucked my sensitive skin.All of a sudden, my skin felt like it was on fire. It was hot and itchy, and it was tingling and numb."I've thought things through. I love you and want you," Seth said, his voice husky and seductive. "What about you? What's your answer?""..." I looked down and away, my brain still in a mess and unable to make any sense of what was ha
"Your mate?!" Enzo and I gasped together.Kyle raised his eyebrows and shrugged at our reaction. "Why are you guys so surprised?"Then he confessed his relationship with Seth to Enzo. Enzo crossed his arms and pursed his lips while listening and finally said, "You should have told me earlier. There’s nothing to hide. I even thought you were interested in Andrea..."Enzo trailed off and gave me an awkward look.I knew what he was thinking. After all, he had been jealous of how close Kyle and I were before.Kyle laughed. "You're right, sorry. I hadn’t been completely honest before this.”“When my father discovered my relationship with Raymond, he beat the crap out of me because he thought it was scandalous and would hinder my path to becoming a Beta. So, he forced me not to tell anyone, especially you."Enzo was quiet for a few moments, then he looked up and said, "You'll always be my Beta and my best friend. No matter what."Then he turned to Seth and carefully studied him before smili
"No."Before I could respond, Enzo responded coldly.Jesse looked embarrassed. He scratched his head awkwardly and said, "O-okay, forget it then. I'm sorry for... bothering you. I wish you... I wish you all the best."Then he stepped to the side and made way for us.Enzo raised an eyebrow, then pulled on my hand to leave.But when I passed by Jesse, he tried again, "I really have something to tell you. Please."I stopped and studied him closely. I could see a hint of apprehension in his eyes.I sighed, then said to Enzo, "Go on ahead. I'll talk to him for a bit.""No," Enzo refused without hesitation. "Do you think I've forgotten who he is? I'm not leaving you alone with him.""I'll be fine, " I said with a laugh. "I'm not the same person I used to be. I can protect myself."Enzo frowned, clearly reluctant, even though my words made perfect sense. "But...""Trust me."He sighed. "Fine. I'll wait for you here. If you run into any trouble, call me.""Okay." I tiptoed and pecked him on t
"You said Melissa is a slave now?"I was stunned. According to my memory, Melissa was like a princess to Alpha Michael. I thought he had released her the day Enzo and I left the Blue River Pack. How could he let his precious daughter to become a slave?"Yeah," Jesse nodded. "Ever since Ellen went nuts, Alpha married another woman named Gloria. She's only twenty-two years old, very attractive. Alpha likes her very much.""But Melissa is his daughter and the future heir to his pack. How did she become a slave?""Gloria is pregnant, so Alpha has a new heir. Of course he won’t take that evil Melisa as his heir anymore."Jesse had a look of disgust as he continued, "Melissa’s reputation is already trashed in the pack. Everyone knows about how awful she is, and no one would support her as heir.""...""Besides, the new Luna doesn't like her either. So her life has been hell," Jesse said. "But she deserves these. You were so kind to her, yet she wanted to kill you. It's all her karma."I was
"What are you still waiting for? Hurry up and serve coffee for our guests!"Gloria's voice was soft, but Melissa obviously trembled at her words.She immediately went to our side and started pouring coffee for all of us.It was hard to imagine that the woman before me used to be a high and mighty, arrogant princess.I remembered Melissa as beautiful and feisty, always dressed in luxurious clothes, looking down at others with her head held high.But the person in front of me now looked so submissive and her head was constantly lowered. She was extremely cautious with every move she made.When Melissa came to my side, our eyes met briefly. She shivered slightly, causing the coffee to spill out from the cup.She panicked and hastily went to wipe the table with her sleeves."You trash!" Gloria's voice rang out. "Can't you even serve coffee properly? Are you an idiot?"Gloria's voice was sharp and piercing. She pointed a finger at Melissa and said, "Hurry up and apologize to Luna!"I shook
I was shocked and reached out to stop Melissa." There's no need for that! Get up!"But Gloria held my arm and said, "You're an honorable Luna. She's just a lowly slave. It’s only right for her to serve you this way."I wasn't sure if Gloria knew the history between Melissa and me, but I guessed she did from how she behaved. She wanted to please me by trashing Melissa.Yet I was not the kind of person Gloria thought I was. I couldn’t agree with Gloria's words nor her insulting behavior, so I shrugged her off, quickly took the tray from Melissa, and helped her up."I don't need anyone to serve me like that," I said bluntly to Gloria, not bothering to maintain the polite smile on my face.Gloria was so mortified. She didn’t know how to react to that."O-oh, I see. That's fine," she looked at the maid standing next to her, and the girl leaned down to remind her, "Luna, it's time for your afternoon nap."Gloria stood up without hesitation and smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry. The doctor a
After dinner, we returned to the hotel we were staying.Enzo turned on the room lights and hugged me from behind. "You seem happy."I rested my hand on his and smiled. "Is it that obvious?""Of course. Your smile is dazzling."I raised an eyebrow. Turning around, I wrapped my arms around his neck and rubbed the tip of my nose with his. "I really am happy. I feel like my life has become better and better since I met you."Enzo ran his hands down from my shoulder to my waist, tickling me slightly as he went. He lowered his head to my neck, kissing the soft flesh as I tilted my head slightly to give him access as I kept saying, "Melissa apologized to me today. I think she's genuinely regretted of what she did. I..."Enzo instantly stopped kissing my neck and straightened up to look at me, his eyes turning serious. "Are you going to forgive her?""I was thinking-""She almost killed you," Enzo interrupted, tightening his hold around my waist. "You should stay away from her.""But she's al
Enzo looked at me and gestured at me not to panic.As the smoke spread, he made a split-second decision and burst forward with all his might, slamming his body into the door.There was a loud crash as the door fell to the ground. The fire in the hallway instantly found its way into the room. The scorching flames were ruthless, unfurling its claws and sinking it into as much area as it could cover, like a dominator expanding its domain ruthlessly.I was startled when the smell of gasoline filled my nose, and I met Enzo's eyes. Doubts flashed pass both of our eyes.However, now was not the time to question the origin of the fire."Hurry!" Enzo said with a frown as he took my hand.The fire was growing bigger. The more it grew, the more it looked like a demon trying to devour everything in its path.Enzo held me in his arms, and I could smell burning flesh and blood as we ran.Out of nowhere, we heard crying."It's a child!" I shouted over the roaring of flames.Enzo's hearing was more a
