Angelina wondered why the Alpha treated everyone better but not his own son. Wasn't a father supposed to love his child unconditionally? Then why was Kivvi's case different?
The woods were a quiet place to be and that's why Angelina liked visiting there; to calm her brain down from all the thinking. One thing she liked more about the woods was the end of the woods which was home to a beautiful lake.
She loved taking quick showers after her run at that lake and at night, the lake was most beautiful but now, she was going there just to clear her head and not to run.
She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't even notice a tree trunk in front of her and before she could realize it, she was already tripping against it and falling headfirst into another tree.
"Damn!" Angelina cussed out loud. The pain in her head was making her head throb and the more she massaged the affected parts, the more she felt intense pain.
She hissed as she got up from the ground, dusting the dirt off her butt and giving myself a quick glance, and looking around just in case anyone saw that embarrassing fall. She was about to thank her luck when a voice startled her.
"That was quite a hit," the familiar voice said and she turned in the direction of the voice and it was none other than Kivvi.
A scowl appeared on her face as she used that as a defense mechanism to not embarrass herself further. "It sure was."
"What got your attention so much that you didn't see the tree right in front of you?" He asked and she was tempted to roll her eyes at him.
"Nothing that concerns you at all," she said, sassily. She wasn't going to go down as a damsel in distress today.
"I guess so," he said, lifting his hands up in surrender and she made a move to brush past him and head on her merry way but he stopped her again. "What are you doing here?"
"I could ask you the same," she retorted. Angelina wasn't backing down without a fight.
"You've got balls, Angelina," Kivvi said and she shrugged in response.
"Well, what are you going to do? Report me to the Alpha?" Even though Angelina was nervous, she couldn't exactly show it.
A smirk appeared on his lips. "Of course, I won't. He doesn't need to know that."
"If he doesn't need to know that then we can speak freely right?" She asked.
He nodded in response. "Yeah, you can."
"Okay. Why does your father treat you that way?" It took her a lot of nerve to ask that question but she needed to know.
His left eyebrow shot up in a questioning manner. "Treat me in what way?"
"You know… like you don't matter to him," Angelina said, taking a step back when sne saw the scowl on his face. She guessed it was a foul subject to talk about then. "You can skip that if you want."
"Exactly, I don't want to talk about it," he sneered at her and she shot her hands up in surrender.
"I apologize then. I'm just going to be on my way," Angelina said and started walking away from him. She hadn't taken two steps when he stopped her again. She puffed out a sigh in frustration.
"Stop."
"What again?"
"The Luna requested your presence at the pack house -- the garden to be precise," he let out while folding his arms as though he didn't even want to be there at that moment.
Angelina groaned as she gave him another glance before making her way to the pack house. She didn't move too fast nor did she walk too slow. She just didn't want to have an encounter with the Luna.
When she got to the garden, she spotted her watering the flowers with a little watering she can and she rolled her eyes at her task. What exactly was she trying to prove?
"Yes Luna, did you sent for me?" Angelina said, being polite. 'After all, not every one of us was taught proper home training.' she thought.
She stopped what she was going through and gave her a side glance before dropping the watering can and facing her fully.
"Angelina, I see that you got my message and came here quickly," the Luna said, not exactly complimenting her and she wasn't asking for one either. "That's very good." She added.
"Thank you, Luna," She gave a short nod before looking at her again, waiting to hear whatever it is she wanted to tell her.
"I want you to start working at the pack's kitchen effectively immediately. We seem to be short of staff there, and this seemed like an opportunity for you to learn more." she said, turning back to look at her flowers.
As Angelina stared at the back of her head, different thoughts ran through her mind. How was she reduced to kitchen staff all of a sudden?
"Luna?" She asked, trying to make sure that she heard well.
"Run along now, Angelina," she said without looking at her and she turned to head to the kitchen with a frown on her face.
On her way to the kitchen, Angelina bumped into Kivvi again and he could tell that something was wrong just by looking at her face.
"I take it that whatever she said didn't go down well with you," Kivvi said as he leaned on the door, which was the main entrance into the pack house.
"She sent me to the kitchen to be a cook there. I'm pretty sure that that isn't something to celebrate about," the frown on her face never left and Angelina didn't care if she was sounding disrespectful.
From all she knew, it looked like Kivvi wasn't on good terms with the Luna either.
"I do not like the fact that she made you go to the kitchens," he said with a faraway look on his face.
Angelina folded her arms and shot her right brow up. "And what are you going to do about it?"
"Unfortunately, nothing," he said, then released a sigh afterward and Angelina felt pity for him.
She sighed in frustration too. "If you can't help me, then I better get going."
Angelina left him standing there, looking lost and she shook her head.
"What a pity," she murmured to herself.
Working in the kitchen for hours was draining and at some point, she was beginning to appreciate the effort of the cooks. It wasn't an easy task being in the kitchen and whenever she had the opportunity, and right now was one of those opportunities.
She snuck to the balcony of the pack house and took in a deep breath, trying to calm her breathing. As she was doing that, she heard muffled sounds from the room opposite her direction. Even though she didn't want to eavesdrop on whatever conversation was going on, her legs wouldn't stay in one place.
She moved closer to the door and she could hear their conversation. The voice was familiar and then it dawned on her that it was Jasper and some other people.
"You know, that slave girl was sweet in the middle," the first voice said.
"Yeah! If she wasn't a slave girl, I'd be patronizing her home every day to get some," Jasper concurred to the first voice. Angelina was horrified at what was going on but she still pressed her ears to the door to listen properly.
She heard the guys holler at each other and praise themselves and argue about who lasted longer with the slave girl that was molested.
"I think you lasted more than we all did," another voice which she hadn't heard spoke up.
"Jasper is the man of the hour!" The first voice praised Jasper and she was shocked to her bones at the audacity they had! "Dude was riding on her like he was on some horsepower or something." The voice added.
"I told you all that I would last longer than you guys and I kept to my words," Angelina heard Jasper brag and all she wanted to do was just slam his face against the wall but then what I heard next pricked her heart.
"I was most grateful that Kivvi helped us with the body though," The first male voice said, interrupting her thoughts.
Immediately when she heard those words, her heart sank. Kivvi was among them?
Angelina quickly ran out of the place so that she wouldn't expose herself. her heart was in pain. The person who should be by her side, helping her could actually turn out to be the one of the person who harmed her the most! Sadness engulfed her, and her chest was tightening. She couldn't believe that all his gentle exterior turned out to be fake! She thought of him as a sharp tongued but a soft-hearted gentle person. However, it turned out that he had a gullible tongue all along, with a vile heart. More than the feelings of sadness, she was feeling a sense of betrayal and anger. Her face was red, and her heart beat faster every second. For a moment, she was at a loss about what to do with him now. Should she pay him back for his deeds or should she let go of him and leave him for forever? She had no idea. But when she remembered the pain she faced, and the other girls who were raped faced, all the hesitation seemed like a joke. He is also an accomplice if he hid her and other girl
Jessica was in disbelief that she was only gone for some months, and Kivvi had already found his mate. She doesn't believe that they would be on lovely terms, but Kivvi was only her's, in her mind. No one else could take him away from her. And she is just a slave, with no good background. Whereas, she is the Beta's daughter! She could help him when he requires any help! However, she could only be a burden to him! How is she eligible to be his mate? She believed that Kivvi would soon reject her, and make her his mate! If it wasn't because of this sudden news, she wouldn't have to rush back here so soon! As soon as Jessica reached, she met Kivvi by the side. It seemed, even destiny favored her to be with him. Why wouldn't it? They are after all childhood sweethearts. "Kivvi!" Jessica ran towards him and engulfed him in a hug. He looked at her from the corner of his eyes. Every time she sees him, he looked more handsome than before. How could she let her grasp off such a seductive ma
These days, Angelina heard quite many rumors about her mate's betrayal. It was that Kivvi's childhood sweetheart had been back, and now they are back together. And originally how Angelina was the third party, and she broke them apart. All these rumours started by one person, Jessica. She wished everyone to know that she has her eyes on Kivvi, and no one can take him away from her! Well, there were a lot of rumors about Angelina's husband's affair, that she was sickened by it. She wondered what had happened, for there to be ocean of rumours, but she pretended not to care. Whom he cheated with, wasn't her concern. However, her mind was in a mess with all of them blabbering the same nonsense behind her ears every day. She couldn't understand them at all. What was the reason for them to blabber the same century-old rumours again and again? On the other hand, some wolves would pity her, some would try to make her feel embarrassed, angry, and sad. But all of these felt dumb for her. Why a
Kivvi was passing by, when he noticed Jessica's wounds on her face. He couldn't help but ask, as her childhood friend, he still cared a bit about her after all "What had happened to you? Are you okay? Who could beat you?" "It was done by Angelina! She even dare to hurt my face!" Jessica exclaimed, in anger. "She attacked me although I didn't even do anything to her! Believe me! She is just pre-" Kivvi didn't wait for her to complete what she was going to say, but immediately grasped her shirt and yelled, "Don't you dare come near Angelina! Or, else I will be the one to take your life," Kivvi threatened, warning her to remain out of Angelina's way. After warning Jessica, he pushed her aside and proceeded into the kitchen, to check Angelina up. Kivvi hoped that she was okay, and not hurt at all. However, as he came inside, Angelina glanced at him and his eyes fell on the red bruise on her cheek. "What happened to you? Are you okay?" Kivvi yelled furiously as he approached Angelina to
Their plan has worked, according to their wishes. The pack leader sent Stella, Mike, Kivvi, and Angelina as a diplomat to invite Stella's father to the Alpha Ceremony. 'The death of Mike would be an awesome way to start their alpha ceremony! I hope they like the gift we are going to give them.' Stella thought to herself. They soon set out for their pack without wasting another moment. They didn't have much time to delay, and Stella and Angelina couldn't wait to kill Mike and Kivvi. Hopefully, Angelina felt the same disgust for Kivvi, as her words meant. Stella understood that it was not easy for her to find that her mate was such a ruthless person; however, she truly did wish for her happiness and she knew that such a person like Kivvi would only bring her harm. And she would never tolerate that! Soon after, eliminating Mike from this game, they have to get Jasper's and Kivvi's heads. Except for the thought of revenge, another thought was roaming inside Stella's head. 'What woul
While Mike's dead body was taken back to the pack, everyone came to look at the scene where Mike's body was found and they were all surprised and devastated on seeing Mike's lifeless body on the ground. Kivvi could hear everyone whispering about who had really killed Mike and what was the reason behind him getting killed since he had never made any powerful enemies. "Who might have killed him?" "This is so scary" "We must avenge him!" When they all found out about the dead body of Mike, everyone was so shocked about it and especially Jasper whose face turned pale after watching Mike's lifeless body on the ground. As Kivvi looked around the scene, he felt that something was really off, about Jasper's two best friends' death. But he couldn't figure out what these ominous feelings were. "So do you have any idea about who killed Mike?" Someone asked. Kivvi just shook his head as a reply and put his two hands in his pocket and lied. "I don't really know for sure." He really didn't w
The best solution to deal with this mess was to blame it on a third party. Kivvi didn't wish there to be a war between their packs, especially at this time of Kivvi's upcoming Alpha Ceremony, which would harm more innocent lives, just because of a dead person. He didn't have any affinity for Mike, and nor did he have the feeling of vengeance for him or, even keep his reputation clean. He believed that he deserved this end since he was the one at the fault, including that it was his repayment for all his sins. He had ruined countless innocent lives, so he didn't feel a little bit of guilt toward him. Kivvi also wished that his crimes would be exposed, but the best way to stop the war is to let both of the packs take a step back, and blame it on an enemy pack. Also, Kivvi didn't wish Angelina to get mixed in all of this mess. After all, knowing Jasper's temper, if he heard a word that the wolfsbane was thrown by someone to save Stella, and Angelina was present. It would not only co
Some days have passed, and Angelina has been avoiding Kivvi by all means, all these days. She didn't want to face him currently with all these doubts and conflicts going on inside her brain and heart. He tried to approach her several times however, she shooed him away. Today, she has been too busy in the kitchen. Angelina was asked to prepare a special lunch for an important guest that will be visiting tonight. They said it was a special guest and also important members of the pack who would be here tonight after so many years so, she has to be very careful about it. Angelina has no idea why they had left her to cook so much for an important member when they have all these great cooks in our pack! Well, it wasn't only her who got busy with cooking but the entire kitchen was in turmoil to finish the dishes awesomely. She wondered, who was this important pack member? She let out a frustrated sigh. Many things were going on inside her head these days and now she had to be in charge of
