PRESENTIn the dimly lit hospital room, the air was thick with tension. Thalia lay weak on the bed, struggling to comprehend the events unfolding before her. By her side stood Tina, and next to her, a man she thought she knew—Christopher. Lola, standing in the corner, was visibly shaken. “I thought you were dead, Tina,” she said, her voice trembling with disbelief.Tina smiled coldly. “No, Lola. I’m very much alive.”Thalia, mustering all her strength, croaked out, “How?”Christopher turned to face her, a menacing glint in his eyes. “I’m not Christopher, Thalia. I’m Brian.”A collective gasp filled the room. Thalia’s eyes widened in horror. “Brian? How is this possible?”Brian’s lips curled into a sinister smile. “I’ve been planning this for years. You see, you thought you killed me and Mia. You thought you destroyed everything I loved. But you were wrong. You killed my brother, Chris, thinking he was me. And now, it’s time for you to pay for your sins.”Thalia’s face contorted with

A sigh escaped faded pink lips. Charcoal eyes gazed into the mirror as their owner,Marietta applied the makeup given to her by the elders on her face drawing lines acrossher cheeks. Marietta's shoulders slumped slightly, her third time, to make it right. Gainher wolf and leave the pack grounds, she did not care if she was going to be declared aRogue omega as long as she distanced herself from them.She dusted her hands after drawing the last of her makeup and turned to attend hernext big task, making up her hair; Opening the drawer, she took a black ribbon andwrapped it around her blond, curly hair to form a neat bun. .“That's about it.” She puffed her cheeks out in pride, for a self-made job she had done asplendid job making herself look presentable.Marietta wore a blouse that came up to her knees, the blouse had a low V-cut aroundher neck reaching her chest exposing her well-endowed assets slightly.

In her mind,she could hear Monica whistling and howling to the top of her lungs, Marietta got animage of a cub dancing around, tail wiggling in the air and tongue out of her mouth.A shadow covered her vision, she looked up and a tint of red covered her face, from theleft to the right. The scent she had smelled earlier twice as strong. She raised her eyesslowly; taking in the person in front of her, from his semi-buttoned up blue shirtexposing his chest, to the small but visible Adam's apple, to the his hair which was darkas the darkness around them. His sharp jawline, thin lips curved into a smirk and thosetwo onyx orbs that bore into hers.Marietta saw the world through those eyes, she was stuck in place, her mind and bodyresigning to the domineering presence of Silas. His words sounded like melodies to her.He's he

Chapter 4: PAIN 2Reed raised his eyes hearing Marietta he got to his feet as the young woman approached him. “Sorry for dropping by unannounced but I wanted to speak with you.”“It's alright Sir, want to come inside?” Marietta opened the door and walked into the house.Reed walked behind her, he closed the door on his way in and took a seat around the table. He glanced around the house, the oak wood that made up the walls was as healthy as he remembered, the cabinets had little specks of dust on the tops, the floor was sparkling clean he could almost see his reflection. The house was cosy, he found himself enjoying being in the house.Marietta went to the kitchen and prepared them coffee. She came back after several minutes placed the cup of coffee in front of Alpha Reed and took the seat across the table. “You said that you wanted to talk to me about something Alpha Reed, what was it?”Reed took a sip from the coffee, he looked inside the cup and then at Marietta as a burst of flavo
“ Do you know who she is?" Monica asks floating in the air, blue smoke emerging from her body, glaring daggers at Silas. It took a while for Silas to recover from the shock he was in, blinking a few times before letting his pried talk for him. “ Do I look like I care?" Monica fell in rage and the smoke immediately turned to blood red. She launched at him, attempting to kill him but Reed stepped in front of his son causing Monica to stop in her tracks. “Please, forgive my son, he is foolish and prideful, I failed to reach him properly." " Indeed, you have, he has the power and the authority of an Alpha but he is prideful and doesn't think about the consequences of his actions.” Silas felt angry at his father for pleading on his behalf, he attempted to push his father aside but Reed didn't move. “ Who…who are you and how did you come out of that child?” Thalia asks, still in shock at the whole drama. Monica looked at Thalia and the once blood-red smoke returned to its blue form.
Sorry, I came here unannounced again." “Again?" Marietta looked at Alpha Reed with confusion at why he said ‘Again’ when he had never been to her house except now. “Oh, sorry. I forgot you lost your memories and didn't remember anything until a year ago.” “It's not a problem Alpha. Please come inside.” Marietta said and unlocked the doorknob, inviting the Alpha into her home. Marietta was glad she had arranged her home earlier that morning because if Alpha Reed had come a day before or yesterday, she would have wished the earth would open up and swallow her whole. “Would you like a cup of coffee, tea, beer, juice, or water?” Marietta asked walking towards the kitchen. “Don't you think that I'm too old to drink coffee, beer, and juice?” Alpha Reed asked with a smile. Marietta felt stupid immediately he replied to her question and the thought of hiding in the kitchen for a while, pretending as if she was making tea ran past her mind in a flash. “So, tea it is?” “Tea, it is.”
