I didn't need someone to tell me about that pressure. Alpha Oswald! My legs grew weak. The pressure was harsher than anything he had ever used on me. His searing gaze stuck to my body.Suddenly, Beta Wyatt's hand moved to my back. His hand wrapped around my waist and drew me closer to him, which made me let out a gasp.What is Beta Wyatt doing?“Stay next to me all the time; you're my partner for the night.” Wyatt lowered his head close to my ear and said,I blushed at the closeness and more people's eyes on us. “I mustn't find you missing, Maia.” He declared with that sexy voice of his.“Hm. Yes.” I responded and tried to push Wyatt away due to fluster, but his hand held on to me tight, pulling me close to his body as if, like that, we would become one.“I mean it, Maia.” He said in a husky, sexy voice that made me lose myself in it. How can his voice be so sexy?'Oh my. I think I'm going to have a nosebleed at this rate. How did I just realize that Wyatt is handsome…' Maia began wit
They know me! How do Lena and Natalie know me? Did they really know Mom? Just how close are the two packs? I was confused and bothered by the unknown.I tried to recollect the past, but I couldn't remember the red flame pack and the power axis pack relating to each other before my mother and father's demise.Besides, the Power Axis Pack is big compared to the developing Red Flame one, so how come their words make it feel like they knew me and my parents? Just what's happening? Did Uncle Henry know beforehand that something was going to happen? Is that why he covered it up by trying to kill..."Did you get a picture of Filippa?" Lena suddenly questioned Natalie, which made me freeze.My heart began to pound against my chest.If they have one, my secret will surely be revealed. My heart was caught in my throat. I strained my ears to hear her reply. Will I need to run now or what?"No." Natalie responded with a sad tone: "I heard she had been battling with depression ever since her paren
“Running out of the hall before the party began, how disrespectful of the beta's partner?” A voice tutted behind me.I turned to take a glance at a grinning Asher, who was the last person I expected to see here.Thinking about it now, I haven't caught a glimpse of him all night, but now seeing him, I realize why so many mateless ladies are falling over him.Asher was in a deep blue suit, and his hair was styled in a curtain hairstyle. He looked like a devious bad boy with that smirk on his face.I stood up and bowed slightly. “Doctor.” Upon remembering his words, I changed my address to “Asher…”Asher made his way out of the flowers and walked toward me with a crafty smile on his face. “You looked feisty in the hall earlier; how come it was the opposite when you saw me? Are you enchanted by me?” Asher inquired with a flirty gaze, and his hand suddenly wrapped around my waist.He leaned forward, almost making our noses touch each other, resulting in a chaotic heartbeat for me.I frowne
The cold look on Beta Wyatt's face made my heart beat faster and made shame course through me. okI can't help thinking of what he'll think of me now. That I am someone who's throwing herself on their Alpha? Especially when he has Luna. Dear goddess, I've never felt as embarrassed as I currently do.I tried to struggle against Alpha Oswald, but he locked me in place and caressed my cheek with an evil smirk on his face.Alpha Oswald gave Beta Wyatt a bored look and leaned closer to me; his lips brushed against my cheeks, making me let out a soft whimper."What does it look like?" Alpha Oswald inquired and took hold of my hand before placing a kiss on it, despite the intense glare I was giving him.What the hell is this person doing? Didn't he want us to keep our mate bond a secret? How can he be flirting with me in front of his Beta, my master? Is Alpha Oswald crazy?I was thrown into a state of confusion by Alpha Oswald's actions.Beta Wyatt nodded indifferently in reply, which made m
King James, the Alpha of the Mystery Pack, to whom Alpha Henry planned to marry me off before changing his mind: what was he doing here? Did the pack invite other pack Alphas to the celebration?My hand flew to my face to cover it while I hoped he didn't recognize me or else my identity would be revealed, but upon remembering that my picture was never taken, I sighed in relief.I let out a gasp upon remembering something: “Uhm. Beta… I mean, Wyatt, were the Red Flame Pack also invited?” I inquired, my heart skipping a beat.“Yes.”“Are they here?” I clenched my fist hard, my breathing coming out in a rush.“No. They're grieving the late Filippa's death and won't be attending any celebration in the meantime.” Beta Wyatt explained, which sent fury through me.Those criminals will definitely be celebrating my death instead of grieving. I bet they're holding a feast in celebration. “Bullshit. As if they…” I paused, and my hands flew to my mouth upon realizing the mistake I almost made.Be
I got permission from Beta Wyatt, who let me leave the party immediately.I fell into bed and tried to stop thinking about everything that happened in the past, but I couldn't; everything kept pouring into my brain and stirring me up in a bad way.I huffed and angrily took off my gown, entered the bathroom, and soaked myself in the bathtub after preparing it.I sighed and used my finger to trace the ugly red and black scars on my flat stomach, shoulder, chest, and lap.I knew there would be many scars on my back as well; they'd be far uglier.I closed my eyes, wrapped my hand around myself, and kept on recalling everything.If Alpha Henry later knows that what he termed as death punishment helped save my life, will he regret it?It was all thanks to his death punishment that I found my strange acting mate and the most important person, Beta Wyatt.Besides, there appears to be a mystery revolving around me that I didn't know about, which I might need to find out while learning how to f
"That's true," I affirmed, and without thinking, I raced down the polished wooden stairs after slamming the door hard, making it release a loud bang that resonated in the house.I was heaving slightly by the time I arrived downstairs.I hurried to the luxurious and monotonous black-and-white dining room and stopped when Beta Wyatt eyed me with a complex expression.Wyatt tilted his neck and stared at me with an indecipherable look before leaning back on the lone black chair at the head of the table.Tapping on the dark live edge table rhythmically, he squinted at me with eyes filled with interest: "You're sure fast for an omega." He expressed, his expression cold to the brim. "And healed fast..."I walked toward the white chair at the end of the table and pulled it out calmly. "Do you mean I'm not an omega?" I arched my brows and sat down on the chair with my head held high, making sure not to reveal any frightened expressions.Beta Wyatt's tap on the table increased, yet his face was
My eyes flew wide open all of a sudden, my heart began to palpitate, and my breath was erratic.Sweats were also trickling down my skin, and my stomach churned and made loud noises. My hand moved to my chest to massage it; I applied a little pressure as I glanced at the room.The continuous ticking sound of the silver clock placed next to my queen-sized bed calmed me down.I sighed in relief after confirming that I was still in the power axis pack and not the red flame pack.After a little rest these few days, my body, which had been scheduled to the red flame pack timing for almost a decade, couldn't help reverting to the old ways of waking at 4:00 a.m. Soon, my breath and heartbeat returned to normal, and I calmed down. I fell onto the bed while yawning.Although I tried to fall asleep, something seemed to be bugging me, making me unable to. And after a few minutes of inability to fall asleep, I sat up again while sighing. I stood up from the soft queen-sized bed and walked to the
