Chapter 95New dawn PackAlexa's POVI inhale deeply, waking up from my slumber. I try to move my legs, but I wince when I feel a sore ache between my thighs. I notice I'm laying on something hard or is it someone, because I can feel his chest rise and down and his breath on my face. I gently looked up to see him sleeping peacefully.He does not look like an intimidating Alpha when he sleeps. He looks…serene. His long lashes frame his cheeks and his soft lips. I remember what those lips of his did to my body last night. His hair is messy. The same hair I had tangled up my finger in…“Good morning,” his deep husky voice rumbles, vibrating in my chest. I stared at him in shock. Has he been awake all this while?“Are you done staring at me?” he asks, and I quickly turn my back towards him, embarrassed. He chuckles.“Are you feeling okay?” he asks in a concerned voice. He must be inquiring about last night.“I guess,” I mutter. I gasp when he suddenly pulls my back towards him. We were st
Chapter 96Alexa's POV“We will miss you, Aunt Alexa," the twin clutched my legs tightly, not willing to let go. They've finished painting the portrait of us and it's beautiful. Our carriage is here, and it's time for us to go back to the crescent pack. I crouch to their height.“I will miss you too. Be good children and don't bicker, okay?” I said, patting their head lovingly.“Mason is always picking a fight with me, not the other way around,” Manie replies, and the bickering starts once again. I chuckle remembering how my brother and I used to bicker as well. Soon enough, they hold hands, chatting and laughing together, completely forgetting that they were arguing just a while ago. Deren comes to stand beside me.“You've got a really beautiful family,” I said, watching the twins with a smile on my face.“I know, I would not wish for anything more,” he answers. I could see the happy and contented look on his face.“I wish the same for you and Kai, he adores you,” he said, and the s
Chapter 97Alpha Kai's POVHearing her call our moments together, her 'duties' makes my heart clench painfully. I don't know why, that was why I could not respond when she asked me if it meant anything more. I don't what exactly it meant, but I do know that it meant more than just performing my duty to her as her husband.Was Deren right? I have no idea. The only way to figure out my feelings for her is to get to know her better and spend more time with her.“Why do you want me to move into your chambers all of a sudden?” she asks.“Because I want to get closer to you,” I reply confidently.“Why would you want that?” she inquires curiously.“Kai, you are back,” Amelie happily runs towards me before I could reply.“Seems like you still have a wife to deal with,” she mutters, removing her hand from my clasp and walking away. I sigh out of frustration, turning to look at Amelie angrily. She hugs me tightly, clasping her hands behind me. She moves upward, trying to kiss me, but I pry her
Chapter 98Alpha Kai's POVIt's been two days since Alexa and I arrived. I've been so busy with the war preparations that I didn't have the time to go see her.“Alpha, you look tired. Do you want a massage?” Alexa asks sweetly. Her scent covers my nostrils and clouds my sense of reasoning. I stared at her with a smile on my face. “Alpha? Alpha?” she calls me. I frown. Why does it not sound like her voice anymore?“Alpha, do you want me to prepare your bath?” I snap out of reverie and stare at the maid in front of me in shock.“Where is she?” I mutter, glancing around my chambers.“Where is who Alpha?” the maid asks, sounding confused.“She was right here,” I reply, still glancing around and trying to find her.“I'm the only one here, Alpha. I met you in here alone,” she answers. Was I hallucinating again? I've been seeing her everywhere for the past two days now. It's beginning to drive me crazy.“You may leave,” I dismissed the maid. She bows and leaves. I walk into the bathroom and
Chapter 99Alpha Kai's POVI definitely deserved that slap.“I'm sorry. I was being disrespectful. I didn't mean it,” I plead.“You can take your apology and get the hell out of my room,” she utters angrily.“Just calm down. You are angry, and you don't mean what you are saying. Even though I don't understand why you are angry….,”“You don't understand why I'm angry?” she inquires in disbelief.“Yes, I don't understand what is going in here right now. Why are you so mad?” I ask.“Are you just plain stupid or dumb?” she asks.“Excuse me?” I reply surprised.“You heard me. You have the audacity to stand in front of me and tell me you don't understand why I'm angry? Well, I will tell you. If you have amnesia, I will be glad to refresh your memories. Take a seat because this might go on all night,” she said, gently, sitting on the bed with her legs crossed.I stare at her, unmoving. This is a side of her I've never witnessed before, and to say it is shocking is an understatement.“Why don
Chapter 100Ace's POV“Bring me another bottle of wine,” I order the maid in front of me.“Yes beta,” she said and scurries out of my chambers.This has been my life ever since I stopped talking to Alexa. Wine, sleep, work. More wine, less sleep, more work. The circle has been repeating for as long as I can remember. I was lying and completely fooling myself when I said I could live without her. It hasn't even been a month, and I'm feeling so miserable.Did she cast a love spell on me or something? I can't seem to comprehend why I would love her so much to the extent that I can't think or function properly without her near me.I miss her. I miss her presence, her laughter, her scent, and her voice. I miss every single thing about her. When she left the pack, the pain of her absence was unbearable. This won't do. I have to go and see her immediately.“Beta, here's your wine,” the maid said as she walks in with a keg of wine.“Take it away, I don't want it anymore. I'm going to see some
Chapter 101Alexa's POV“Don't cry, Don't cry, Don't cry,” I chant as I furiously wipe away the tears that are falling freely down my cheeks. I promised myself I won't ever cry in front of the Alpha ever again. I won't cry because of him. But these stupid tears won't just stop falling. “I love you,” I chuckle humorlessly when I remember his words. Love? Does he know what that word means? He has shown me nothing but hatred ever since I came into this pack, and now all of a sudden, he loves me. What did he think? That I will happily run into his outstretched arms? What a joke!I was good. I know I was good. I showed everyone kindness and love, but what did I get in return? Betrayal, pain, sadness, hurt, and more pain. I'm done being nice. I'm done worrying about other people's feelings apart from my own.It's good he said he was going to help me take my revenge. That's all I want from him. I don't want his love. The time I wanted his affection and acknowledgment has now passed. The onl
Chapter 102Alpha Kai's POV“Alpha, there are some files you need to sign, and we still haven't discussed the…,”“I'm not in the mood. Leave,” I mutter with my eyes closed, leaning on my chair.“But, we have to discuss the war. They might attack….,”“I said I am not in the mood. Can't I have a break?” I said as I suddenly sat up, my fists meeting with my desk. The chief looks up from the files he is holding in shock. “Pardon me, but is something wrong? You've never refused issues regarding the pack before,” he said, sitting on the chair in front of me with a worried look on his face.I sigh, running my hand through my hair.“I'm exhausted. I don't think I'm in the right frame of mind to discuss anything regarding war,” I reply.“What happened? Is something wrong?” he asks curiously. I entwine my hands and placed them below my chin, using my elbows as support on the table. “Is it something I can help with?” he inquires incredulously.I stare at him intently with a blank expression on
