"Do you want something to drink?" Hayden asked me, but I refused to say a word, not only because I did not want to give him any attention but because I might start cursing him in front of my babies.He chuckled. "Get her some wine and water for me."The lady nodded, and then made to leave, but I called her name."Shantel, Get me water, not wine. Maybe his lying ass is trying to get me drunk."When I finished talking, I looked at my children in shock because I had forgotten that they were here for a second and cursed. But thankfully, they were busy watching a carton and had headphones on."Thank God," I murmured, but when I looked at him, his face was grim and his eyes were hardened.""No one is allowed to talk to me like that, not even my mate, because...""Your mate?" I asked. "More love like your prisoner and the last thing I want to do is talk, see, or smell anything related to you."His mouth curled in what could be called a smile, and the way his eyes were glistening, I knew he w
After researching on the internet for ten minutes, the only thing that I got was to create a diversion to escape, but first I went to look at the number of guards that are outside the house.I stood up from the chair and handed Elijah the apple that was left on the plate, then covered their scent before I headed outside. There were thirteen of them now, and this time, ten of them were at the gate while three were moving around the house. "Hey!" I called one of the wolves, and he came closer."Do you know when Hayden will be back?""No, Luna," he answered."Oh, that's too bad," I answered, clutching my stomach."Is everything all right, Luna?" He asked, and his tone was dripping with worry. ""Nothing too serious; please tell Hayden to get me pain medication on his way here, but he should not rush; I don't want to disturb him," I said with a smile and entered the house.This was to keep Hayden from coming back immediately instead would stop at a pharmacy to get drugs.Next, I found m
Even though the weather was cold today, somehow I was sweating. I kept cleaning my hands in my dress because I was trying to find a way to keep myself busy. Hayden was in front with the children, while the guards secured us from all corners as we headed into the pack house. Where his stepmother and her son lived too. Suddenly, it felt like five years ago, nervous and giddy, Alex, the cleaner's daughter, entered the house with Hayden's hand on hers. So trusting, I believed the smile on their faces and shared a hug with Ann, who told me to feel free to call her mother that day but warned me not to call her that a few days later when Hayden was not present. But I was a fool then, and I endured all that, telling myself that it was an honor to be a member of this family.I sighted the swing that I always came in the evening to clear my head and blame myself for wanting my fantasies instead of making do with what the moon goddess had given me, but after every sacrifice, all I got was a be
"I... d...id no...t" I answered while my cheeks flamed, and I tried to push away from him, but he held me back."Don't get defensive. My dick has been hard since I got in bed with you, and your body touching mine all night has made it worse." He whispered and demonstrated by rubbing his dick on my thighs.I felt a tingling feeling down there and a moan trying to come out, but I pushed it back, indicating that I was not interested."Not interested in that," I replied and turned to get out of bed, but instead, he turned me and started rubbing his hard d*ck against my ass and his hands on my boobs.He tugged my nipples, then gently massaged my left boob first, then my right.It felt so good, so I moaned because he knew how to make it good and where to touch it for it to be good.I leaned my head on his neck while he rubbed me, laying kisses on my neck. Things were going right till my eyes landed on the clock, and it was a few minutes after eight, I shook my head to be sure because I had
He gave me water, but I grabbed another one from the table. He threw the remaining pancakes into his mouth and stood up."Don't forget the dress; you need it for tonight. The servants will take care of the children all day; if you want them to, I know you would love to take them along to shop for the clothes. So I selected some guards for you; take them along."He went over to them, then bent and said, "Give Daddy a kiss."They kissed him, then he stood up. They kept waving at him till he went out of the door. After we finished eating, I offered to help, but the servants would not let me. So I just took my twins to our room.After I taught them for a few minutes, they started to practice their math by themselves. I kept watching them, then I fell asleep.I was woken by a loud knock on my door. I thought that it was Shantel checking to see if he could give us anything, but when I opened the door, I saw Ann, who had a big frown on her face.Hayden is gone, so she no longer needs to pret
She led me into the dressing room and then pointed at the chair.The dressing room was big; two gigantic mirrors were at the front and the back of it. A chair to sit on, a big shelf to keep things on, and some kind of hanger to put your clothes on. "Luna, please sit while we get the clothes the Alpha personally selected for you." "He selected clothes for me." She nodded. "Yes, he narrowed it down to five custom-made gowns, Luna."My eyes widened. "Custom made?""Yes, Luna."Custom-made gowns are usually very expensive, and Hayden loved to buy the ostentatious ones. I can remember how much he spent on the gown I wore when I was shown to the pack. He splashed ten million dollars in one silver-long, tight dress. And all through the night, when someone complimented them, I tried to resist telling them the price."How much does each one cost?"She shrugged. "Please do not ask me; I am forbidden by the Alpha to tell you that. But I can get something to drink if you want."I shook my head
"I know you don't like me, and being in this house is like being in prison, but out there, pretend that you are in love with me and can't do anything without me," Hayden whispered without turning.Pretend to love him? I did love him once, with everything I was, and looking at him trying to mask that I hurt his feelings, those delightful lips pulled into a frown, I do think that those feelings are growing again."If it is too hard of a request for you to do, then I can offer you something—maybe a diamond? Money? Or maybe I can pretend to be anything you want me to be for a day?"Give me something. He already spent enough on me today, from the clothes to the stylists.After I lashed out during dinner because of the treatment I received from Jonathan and his stupid guards, I felt so guilty, even though he was the one at fault. He did not come back to finish his food, and while I ate, I could swear that the servants wanted to kill me with their stares.I stood up to head to the room when
"Hayden, let me go," I asked.Hayden did not stop till he reached the stage. I tried to pry my hand off, but he held me right and put me in my seat. I wish the ground would open up so I could hide there. I grabbed a full glass of vodka and downed it. I felt the effects after a short while.Someone clicked the spoon on a glass, and everyone stopped talking and went back to their seats. Alpha Joe, Ann, and Peter came to sit on the stage.When he came to the stage, I recognized him immediately as Beta Lucien, Hayden's second in command."We are gathered here for the celebration of the return of Alexandria Walker to Shadow Pack as the mate of the Alpha. So may we please clap for them and stand up for the Alpha Hayden speech?" Jax said.Everyone stood up. I tried to stand with them, but Hayden dragged my hand back. I looked at him to know what the problem was, but he was not looking at me and once everyone stood up, he pulled me up too.He led me to the center of the stage."Thank you ever
