KaiMy little pet always had hounds sniffing around her. Adrian was no threat to me, but Alvis...he was bad news. He doesn't seem like the kind of person who'd give up on their mate. And he was strong. Stronger than the others. When he was near Lindsey, I instantly knew he was her mate, which irritated me. I wanted to kill him right then, burn him to ashes but restrained myself. It wasn't the right time. I had to wait patiently because Lindsey didn't trust me yet. I couldn't rush things with her this time. I saw him grabbing Lindsey and demanding answers from her, so I couldn't help but interrupt them. As I watched him touching her, my blood was boiling, and I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. "You! this isn't about you. This is between Lindsey and me, so stay out of it," Alvis Dalton snarled. "Ah, is that so? Looks to me like Lindsey is done with this conversation, so why don't you take a hike in the woods? It'll cool your head," I suggested. Alvis stared at me with a
Gosh, what a nightmare!That was quite a scene Alvis caused. I didn't expect him to attack Kai like that, so I didn't know what to do. All I could do was stand there and watch how things played out.Luckily, no one got hurt, and that was surprising since Kai never bothered to shift into his wolf form. I wonder why.And how the hell did he set Alvis on fire?"I am leaving you alone for now, Lindsey, but if you marry Adrian, things might get nasty," Alvis said before running off.Was that a threat? I sure hope not. I didn't want Alvis as my enemy too. I turned to Kai, who hadn't said a word to me yet. "You just had to, didn't you?""Whatever do you mean, my love?" Kai feigned surprise."Don't act coy. We are past pretending, don't you think? How did you set Alvis on fire? Who are you? Or should I ask what are you?" I asked with gritted teeth."Curious one, are you? I told you. All of your questions will be answered. Just not yet," Kai said slyly."That's bullshit! I want to know now. An
Alvis I felt the anger bubbling up inside of me, like a pot of boiling water on a stove. I felt the blood rushing to my head. My fists clenched and unclenched involuntarily as I struggled to contain the intense emotion within me. I couldn't believe what had just happened. My thoughts raced as I replayed the events over and over in my mind, each time fueling my anger further. I felt betrayed, disrespected, and taken advantage of. How could they do this to me? Lindsey and Kai. What kind of relationship did they have? If she claimed to love my brother, why was she so close to him? She acted like I was insignificant while keeping him near. I tried to take a deep breath to calm myself down, but it felt like the anger was consuming me from the inside out. I wanted to lash out, scream and yell, and make them pay for making me feel this way. But anger didn't solve anything, did it? I needed to come up with a plan. No, first, I needed to figure out who Kai was and where he came from.
LindseyTurning around, I begrudgingly pushed Kai away. Who did he think he was? "Stop it. Stop it, right now!"He chuckled, not at all phased by my icy attitude."You have no right to touch me like this!" I squealed. My body was burning. I didn't know if it was more from embarrassment or anger."I have no right, huh? Are you sure about that?" His forehead crinkled in amusement. He really was so infuriating."I should get back to my room," I said but didn't move from my spot. Instead, I stared.The droplets of water still clung to his chiseled chest and his abs glistened in the light, highlighting every muscle and curve. His hair is damp and tousled, framing his strong jawline and piercing eyes.My legs seemed to have minds of their own because they moved toward him, mesmerized by his rugged beauty."That's right, pet. Come to me. You can't resist me either, can you?" he husked.My eyes trailed down to his towel, barely hanging on his hips, leaving just enough to the imagination. My b
AdrianBetty, I must end things with Betty.Lindsey didn't reject me immediately but acted as if she knew about Betty and me. But did she know Betty was my mate? I wasn't sure.And then there was Alvis, who caught me sleeping with Betty.The only way to ensure my and Lindsey's union now was to tell her the truth. That's it. I'd tell her about Betty me being a mate, and then I'll tell her I rejected Betty.But first, I needed to get Betty on board. At least pretend like I had rejected her.She hadn't answered any of my phone calls or texts yesterday, so I decided to show up at her house directly."Betty! Open the door!"No one answered.I knocked a few more times, then began to bang on the door. I knew she was home."Betty! Come on! I know you're home. I saw your car out there!" I was starting to get annoyed now. Why was she ignoring me now? She was always the one begging to be with me.I decided to force my way in. I didn't care anymore.It wasn't too hard to break the door open. And
LindseyI stood in my room, shaking, when Sue told me about Betty's death. I wanted to take revenge on her because she was responsible for my murder in my previous life. But I didn't want her to die like this!"Oh dear, I am so sorry. You must feel awful. She was your best friend," Sue said, her eyes full of tears.I felt sad, yes. But I won't pretend like I didn't think Betty had that coming for her. She was a liar and a traitor. I wanted her to be punished.But death? That's quite extreme."Of course. She was my cousin and my best friend since childhood. This is a tragedy," I said."Everyone will be gathered in the field today so Adrian's father can get to the bottom of her murder," Sue said grimly."Adrian's father? Why him? Betty is part of my pack," I raised an eyebrow.Sue hesitated. "Well...Adrian found...""Adrian?" I asked."Adrian found her dead in her bedroom."I nearly scoffed. So Adrian found her. As tragic as her death was, I'm glad Adrian knew what it was like to lose t
OwenOh no, no. What have I done?I could barely breathe. The air was thick, and my lungs felt like they were on fire. My hands trembled, and my heart raced when I left Betty's house.I did the unthinkable - I strangled Betty to death. I got so angry and...The sound of her last gasps for air still echoed in my head. Her eyes, once filled with life, are now empty and still.Betty, my sweet Betty, who I loved once.I didn't mean to kill her. I was angry, and I lost control. I never thought I was capable of doing something like this.The guilt was crushing me. After I ran away from her house, I just kept running. I went to the woods and knelt down by the river, and threw up. As I knelt there by the river, tears streamed down my face.I knew I had to do something. I couldn't just run away from what I had done. I had to take responsibility for my actions, no matter how hard it was.No, I couldn't do that. The Alpha will behead me! Murder was the worse crime I could've committed.Fuck...e
Kai I could see the confusion in Lindsey's eyes, so I walked toward her. She was startled as I suddenly grabbed her hand, but I put my finger on her lips, motioning her not to make any noise. As I continued to hold Lindsey's hand and put a finger to my lips, I could feel her tense up in anticipation. I looked around cautiously, trying to determine if anyone saw me. "Come with me," I hissed. Lindsey didn't argue and followed along. We walked for a bit then I stopped when I made sure no one was around. "So, what did you think about that whole spectacle?" I said and grinned. Anger flashed in her eyes. "Are you out of your mind, Kai?" I shrugged. "What do you mean?" "Why did you do this? Why did you accuse Adrian of Betty's murder?" she asked. "You are acting like I was the one who killed Betty. Hey, he did the crime, so he got to do time, eh?" I smiled smugly. Lindsey's expression hardened, and she pulled her hand away from mine. "You can't be serious," she said. "You know as we
