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
MARIAI'm in trouble. Big time. Why did I do it? I ask myself. What exactly made me do it? Okay! I know why I did it but I never actually thought I had the initiative to do this on my own. I never thought my anger and hatred would actually push me to do something that could lead to my death.But can you blame me? I was meant to be his Luna. I've loved Alpha Julian right from before he became the Alpha king. His little touches of affection to a girl who was like a sister to him meant more to me. He would hold my hands and explain things to me in the most gentle manner. When we first moved here and no one wanted to be our friend because I had mismatched yees, he would stay to play with me. He was the reason everyone started to talk to me without thinking I’m a witch. He is the kind of male every female would die for. Dashing, charming, sweet, and strong. Alpha Julian is everything a woman would wish for. For so long I kept my feelings from him a secret and watched painfully as he wen
The only issue with my plan is that it was half-baked. I never thought of what I would do when I kidnap her and I couldn't even dare to kill her. The plan was borne out of my anger and I didn't think it through. I couldn’t believe I was this stupid and I made myself fall into this shit. I never wanted to be caught in between two alphas war but this girl was about to ruin me without having to try at all. Now I don't know what to make of a drugged human sleeping on the floor while her Alpha is raining hell and burning houses down to find her. I didn't expect things to turn out like and they have gone completely down the drain.Alpha Julian will have my head if he ever finds out. And so the only thing I could do was to call my brother, Robert. He's the only one I know who can help me and I have sent for him to come to see me at my chamber. I stand, biting my nails nervously and looking out the window waiting for Robert to show up. He would surely know what to do. He won't leave me to m
MARIA“Oxytocin and what’s the name of that drug you called again?...” I ask the nurse who is with me while trying hard to remember what she called for me. I didn’t want to look dumb but I had a lot going on in my head. This bitch was doing nothing yet she messed with my head effortlessly. I’ve been uneasy since she came and it felt like she was going to snatch Julian away from me. She didn’t even need to do anything yet she has taken him away from me. She rolled her eyes before giving me an answer “Misoprostol…” I wanted to slap her face hard before sending her off. I was the one who needed her help so I have to put up with her tantrums. She knows she has the upper hand here and she’s making it quite obvious. “Yes, yes… I need this business to be a clean one.” I tell her, handing the bag of medicine to her and she nods. We already had an agreement involving money so getting her to do my bid won’t be hard at all. I dip my hand inside my bag to provide another wad of cash and I saw t
I’m already sensing they something bad must have happened, and I clench and unclench my fist, calming down the animal in me as I refrain from screaming.Calmly, I clear my throat and finally ask out loudly, attracting everyone’s attention, “What the hell is going on?”“Alpha King…” The doctor in charge, and the one I’m familiar with starts to say coming towards me with a smile and I look at him suspiciously. I don’t know how he manages to have a smile on his face each time even in extremely dangerous situations? Muzz me every time. “What’s going on here? Where’s Rosella?” I ask again redirecting my eyes to the bed but she’s not there. I really hope it’s not what I’m thin king because she can’t even be missing again for the second time in a row. Then who had been crying? One of the nurses or what?“Sir, you have to calm…” I interrupt him before he can even finish whatever it is he wants to say, “Calm down for what? Why is Rosella’s bed empty? Where is she? I need answers.”“Sir, to
