ALPHA JAMESI dial Julian’s cell phone for the third time this morning unfailingly, but the fucker is deliberately not picking my calls. I’m trying hard not to get mad or anything and allow my anger to ruin things but the bastard is deliberately making things hard for me. I don’t want to lose it but I guess it’s hard for me because why would he ignore my calls. Maybe because he feels like he has the upper hand. I can’t wait to shock him out of his wits. The phone that I had placed on my desk some minutes ago, suddenly vibrates and I look at the screen, and Julian’s name flashes through. The call immediately hangs up just immediately it had ringed, and I smirk at his stupidity. He’s calling me then hanging up due to fear, an Alpha king shouldn’t be that weak. Julian wasn’t weak, he’s more like a scaredy-cat. A scaredy-cat that you can’t predict his next moves. I dial his number quickly, and it rings once and he picks. I thought he wouldn’t pick maybe he had an internal battle with hi
ALPHA JULIANI arrive at James’s residence, fully prepared with my entourage. I show up like the typical Alpha King I am. I’m waiting in the large hallway waiting for James, and no sooner do we all stand there, does he appears. He comes alone, and for a minute I’m taken aback.I know he’s in his forte, his abode but then anything could happen and for one I don’t even trust him. already informed everyone that I was coming here so he won’t try anything with me. “The Alpha King himself. You came here to see a lady, and you brought this whole army with you huh? I can see that someone’s afraid…” He taunts, gloating at me but I ignore his jabs.“Where is she?” I ask straight, going to the point, and not entertaining his useless talks.“You do really want to get down to business right? And I never gave you my word that when you came, you would see her or did I? If I remember vividly, you hung up on me.” He replied with a lazy smirk, I don’t think he has her with him. The James I know would
JAMES.Conniving bitch!Stupid conniving bitch! My blood boils with so much anger and the urge to pounce on something as I walk back to the dungeon where I locked Anne for years. Rosella was nowhere in sight, and there was nothing for me to pass my temper away with. I really hated the whole situation more. I should have known. I really should have known that the bitch is not to be trusted and shouldn't have left her alone with Julian to talk. I thought the warning sign and the murderous glare I gave her would prevent her from talking, but I guess people never learn. That bitch is so battered that nothing is left to beat up or torture her body, yet she proves stubborn each time. I hate to admit how strong she is because the stupid bitch had been enduring my whole shit since I brought her here. She just wanted me to kill her off and end things as fast as possible, but she wasn’t going to get her little wish granted that fast. I would show her how tough I am. She had the nerve to mes
She looks up at me under hooded and tired eyes that are bloodshot. I don't even remember the color of her eyes anymore. They've been so red and dark for so long as I can remember. She doesn't reply to me. Usually, Anne has comebacks for me that only make me want to hurt her the more and I am only waiting for one of those so I can have an excuse to torture her to my heart's content.Not that I need the comebacks to do whatever I want anyway. "What were you dreaming about?"I taunt again then grinned at the thought of what I'm about to say" Or should I say who? Julian?" Her countenance changed immediately after I mentioned his name. "Ahh...it really is him, isn't it? You still haven't gotten over him and seeing him today excited you?" She remains mute. "What did you dream about? Him getting you out of here in Grand style on a fancy horse like a fucking damsel in distress?" With each statement, I take a step closer to her. "Is that why you blabbered to him that you are my mate?!!"
ALPHA JULIANThe journey back to the pack house feels so slow and excruciating. My thoughts are all over the place and my mind is in shambles. As much I thought going to see her won’t affect me but it did, I felt nothing more than a failure. I wished I had searched for her more those days, I wished I actually paid attention to her behavior or the way James acted after she went missing. Thinking about it all now, his own act was so suspicious but my thoughts were all over the place. I try to will myself to believe that this isn't a dream and I'm yet to wake up from it. But the few painful pinches I gave myself proved it right that indeed, I wasn't dreaming when I saw my childhood best friend battered beyond repair and locked inside of a dungeon. The memories of how she looked when I saw her haunt me and even try to overshadow the memories I've had of her. We had so many memories together and I could barely count them. We took our first steps together and we have been friends since th
"What brings you here?" He finally asks when he realized I wasn’t going to talk first. He leaned back in his chair before setting his reading glasses as well as the book he was reading down on the table. He fixed his gaze on me and I felt quite uncomfortable. I know he feels guilty for taking James away from his family but I deserve respect too. James wasn’;t the only one forced to grow up all by himself. "I was at my brother's place today" I go straight to the point. and I watch his jaws set in a tick. Whatever he wanted to say to me, he changed his mind before staring at me as if he wanted me to continue. I never did and he cleared his throat before speaking. "And? Have you agreed to return his Luna to him?" My father asks again and I try not to roll my eyes. This again? I thought we were over this already, maybe because he doesn’t believe in brothers going to war but he should be considerate of my own happiness, the only person I would truly love and spend the rest of my life wi
ROSELLAI was feeling stuffed in the hospital so I went out for fresh air and to think. With the trial creeping up soon I don't even know what to do, I'm so scared of the outcome and many what-ifs.What if I'm not Julian's mate and I have to go back to James. Will he kill me after I give birth to his child? I almost laugh mockingly at that, I know that is exactly what he will do. In fact, the only reason he hasn't killed me yet is because of his child in my womb. Just thinking of having to go back to that psychopath made my blood run cold.I'm also scared of the other outcome if I’m being honest with myself, what if Julian is my mate, I know he hasn't talked about what we're going to do about the child. What if after getting mated to Julian, he treats me right but my baby is on the bad side of everything? What if he treats me with love and he treats my baby with disgust? He hates his brother so why would he treat the child very well? Plus we would have our kids and the baby would end
Not expecting he stumbled to the ground with a now bloody nose, his beta tried t get in between us but with two punches he was out cold on the floor. I was too angry and before James could recover from reeling on the floor, I grabbed his collar before I delivered fast blows in quick succession to his face and he moved back. No one has ever seen me this angry before and I wasn’t regretting it one bit. I snarled at the weakling he had for alpha and went back to trashing him."Where is she?!"I growled my fist connecting with his jaw, I heard a crunching sound but I'd didn't faze him, I wouldn't be satisfied until I'm sure he wouldn't be able to work. I needed to send a signal to his stupid brain as a reminder that I am not someone he should ever mess with me his life. "Where the fuck is my mate?!" I yell in his face and I noticed the way confusion marred his bloody face. The bastard was acting ignorant and I wasn’t having any of that, I would deal with him properly. Getting over his ini
