I took a glance at him. I knew nothing about this strange man in front of me. Not just a strange man, I knew nothing about the man I was falling for. “Excuse me, what's your name again?” I asked. “Oh, seems, you don't actually know my name,” he said with a grin. “Well, you don't expect me to guess,” I replied. “My name is, uhm, Dave!” he said sharply. Dave? That name sounds off, but since he said it's his name, who am I to judge that? “Okay, so, Dave, why do you want to know what I think about your Alpha?” I asked while folding my hands on my chest. “I know you must think I'm one of those, I mean_”“One of those who make life unbearable in the pack, you mean?” I said. He paused his mouth and stared at me like I had just spoken what was exactly on his mind.“I mean you no harm, Diane.” “Whoever is from the Alpha is definitely not on my side but on my sister's,” I said and immediately walked away from him. Just then, I heard quick steps behind me. I didn't need to be told that
I lay in my bed, reminiscing what had happened earlier. I still can't place my hands on anything yet. All this was the fault of Dave. If only he hadn't followed me around, I would have been able to find out what I was going for. But then, if Dave was truly sent by the Alpha, does this mean he was doing it for Diane or for the fact that it was the right thing to do? No matter how I think about it, I can't seem to come to a conclusion. I wish I knew what he was thinking about, then I wouldn't have to worry my poor head. “Dave…" I whispered. What is wrong with me? Why do I see him everywhere? In my dreams and in my reality. The strange part of this was the fact that my wolf had never pronounced him mate, so what was this feeling all about? *******Diane's POV….“Mother, my guess is right?” I walked into my mother's room quickly with my heels making a click-clack sound on the floor. “What are you talking about, darling?”Mom asked, dropping the new times magazine, which she had been r
*****Cain's POV****“Why do you look sad, Cain?” “No matter what, I still can't believe she called me blind and stupid.”“Huh? What are you talking about?”“Huh?” I took my gaze up at Fox instantly. I was totally out of it. How did I not notice Fox coming in?“What were you talking about, Alpha Cain? Who called you blind and stupid?” Fox asked, with a confused expression. Shoot! I can't believe I said that out loud. “No one, it's just…” I trailed off, not knowing what to say because my thoughts were still not arranged at that moment. “Okay?... I don't know what you are up to, but I would like to inform you that it is time to go test out your suit.“My suit? What suit?” I asked in a flummoxed state. Fox stared at me with eyes and mouth aghast. “You're kidding, right?”“What do you want?” I asked again. “It's your wedding in two days. How on earth did you forget about that?”That jogged my memory at once. “Fuck! I can't believe I forgot about it,” I said in a slight whisper. “O
“Oh my goodness! You look stunning. Sorry to say this, but you look more beautiful than the bride herself.”I couldn't hold back my chuckle. This was the first time I had smiled ever since the death of my parents. “I don't know about beauty, and sadly, I don't care about it now,” I blurted out, way before I realized what I had said. “I'm so sorry, that wasn't meant to slip.” “You don't need to apologize. Though I didn't know your story, I can assure you that everything's going to be okay,” the sales clerk said. Now that I look at her closely, she looks so much my age. “What's your name?” I asked, curiously.“My bad, I should have introduced myself earlier. My name is, Anna, I uhm, actually own this place!” Anna said with a crinkled nose. “Wow! You don't say.” I gasped the next minute. How on earth did I become so stupid? I had totally forgotten about my father's company. What could have happened to it now? “I'm actually uhm… You don't have to worry. I'm always here. Maybe you ca
***Cain's POV***No way! This can't be happening. Diane will be present at the wedding? How the hell didn't I think about this before now? Fuck!“Uhm, Dave? Are you okay?” I quickly snapped out of my thoughts and took my gaze at her.“Uhm, yea, I'm okay.”“So…what role will you be playing at the wedding?” She asked. This just made things worse. I was so unprepared for this. Where should I start from? Just then, I grabbed her by the hand and pulled her with me to a room which, I believed, was one of the changing rooms.“Dave, what's going on?” Diane protested while trying to get her hands off me.” I breathed heavily, confused about what to do.“Why did you bring me here?!” Diane questioned, but I had no answer for her at that point. This was totally not what I planned for.“Diane,” I stared at her, but her innocent eyes just made me curious. I stared down at her lips and, once again, I let the lust of my wolf take over, and I quickly leaned in and took her lips into a passionate kis
*****Gina's POV***I wish I could sleep and forget about his kisses. Am I perhaps going crazy thinking about Dave? Goddess help me. This isn't the time to be lusting over a man. I need to find the killers of my parents. Why is it getting so complicated to do so?My sister's wedding has occupied me enough, and now I'm having a man's kisses in my thoughts. Turns out he will be attending the wedding as well. But why does he look so shocked, though? I only told him I would be the Chief Bridesmaid at my sister's wedding, but he seemed to be surprised about it.A knock on my door snapped me from my thoughts.“Miss Diane, can I come in?” That was Patricia, the omega who had been helping me with the chores for the wedding.“Do come in, Patricia.” Patricia came into my room, flashing me a warm smile.“What is it?”“I know you only just got in to rest, but the Luna wants more flowers, and she wants you to get them.”“Huh?” More flowers!” I exclaimed loudly with wide eyes.“I don't know why eit
I looked at the time, and it was 8: PM and there was a heavy downpour. What am I going to do? The wedding is tomorrow, and they probably need the flowers to decorate the venue. Goodness! Why is Diane doing this to me?She knew it was going to rain and it was late. Why did she bother sending me out there to get flowers she knew wouldn't be delivered on time? Surely, she was doing this just to get on my nerves. As if making me her bridesmaid wasn't bad enough. “Uhm, miss? I don't know how long it will rain for, and I cannot be here all night. I have to get home since my kids are home alone.”“I'm so sorry for taking your time,” I quickly apologized to the flower lady.”“It's not your fault. If it hadn't rained so hard, I'm sure you would have been home by now. Let's blame it on the rain. But then, I'm not sure if you will be able to hold on for more hours because it will be difficult to get a cab to take you back.”I looked around, and just as the lady had said, there was no can on the
*****Cain's POV****This wouldn't do. If I should wait for Diane's response, I might as well expect a refusal. “You know what, book me the room. We are staying together,” I said to the lady. I turned around to Diane to see how shocked she looked. “Okay, here is your key sir,” the lady stretched the keys towards me and I grabbed hold of it quickly. While on our way to the room, I noticed Diane walking slowly behind me. Getting to the door, I turned around to face her.“Listen, I know you don't want this, and neither do I, but as it stands, we both don't have a choice.”“I know, and I'm not complaining,” she muttered with her head facing downwards. “Goodness! Why did I leave the pack all the way here, only to be stuck in one room with her? That's not even the worst part of the situation. My wedding is tomorrow, and I still haven't told her who I was.I quickly opened the door to the hotel room and walked in. She walked ahead of me and headed to the bathroom. I took a quick glance a
