Hi! Double update will be on weekends. But if I have some spare time, I will also upload two chapters. Thank you so much for reading! I appreciate all of you.
KEIRA:"Keira," Alpha Lennox called my name a couple of times. "Why does his foul smell all over you? His scent is like rotten eggs that have been in the garbage can for a couple of days."That bad? Malik did not smell like that. In fact, he smelled of juniper. And it smelt nice. "I want to make it clear but Malik does not smell like that."He gave me a blank look. I grabbed some pieces of french fries and ate them. "I will wait," he continued. Can you wait forever?Nothing passed Lennox’s nose. That was what I realized when he dropped the bomb questions. I had been discreet by trying to mask my scent by applying a strong fragrance of perfume but to no avail."You are thinking a lot, Lennox," I declared. The fries tasted bland just like my lies. "Why would I even meet him?"He stared at me for a moment. "Was it you who sent the message?""What message?"The only message I read was his message for Zoe. I didn't even touch Zoe's phone. “Nothing." I thought he was about to drop
KEIRA:I stared at Alpha Lennox in disbelief. He continued munching without having any idea of the impact of what he just did.His brows furrowed as if studying the aftertaste of the shrimp. He raised one finger and pointed it to my plate. 'One more. No. Give me all the shrimp, love. It's delicious. My appetite is back.'Without being told twice, I hurried and put the spoon with shrimps on it in his awaiting mouth. Still dumbfounded, I couldn't help but ask throughout the link, 'Lennox. W-what are you doing? I did not tell you to eat it. You said you are full.'I bit my lower lip. All the shrimps were gone. All because of his enormous compassion. For me. My chest was constricted. A lump formed in my throat. I was not ready for this. I was not prepared for this act of kindness. 'This is nothing, love.'It was nothing to him, but it meant a lot to me. 'Then what? Wait until you have your symptoms of allergy? I won't allow that to happen, love. Eat whatever does not give you an
KEIRA:"Dad," Lennox started, trying to make his father understand. "I've been absent from the company for quite some time."Would Alpha John understand?I doubted it from the expression he was giving right now. A glare. A deep scowl. And lips pressed in a thin line. Definitely the reaction I was expecting. "Do you think I care about your company, Lennox? I never wanted that company to begin with," Alpha John roared. It was because Tate had been the one leading the pack for quite some time when the alpha was absent. To me, he muttered, "Why would you work with him, Rei? Don't you know Lennox is one of the most workaholic people? He almost forgot he had a family and packed with him when he started working with the company."Refusing to be bothered by the old man's statements, I smiled instead. "That's the purpose, Dad. When I am with Lennox, I will be constantly reminding him to take a break every now and then. To eat his lunch, breakfast, and dinner. Snacks in between. Just, please
KEIRA:“I want a child, love,” Alpha Lennox said in the most tender tone. “Who wouldn’t want a child? I am not getting younger. My busy schedule won’t allow me to be with my wife always. I did not want her to be lonely so a child while I was away would be the best thing.”We were thinking the same. If I had a child…no. If we had a child, the emptiness while Alpha Lennox was nowhere around would lessen.A child bearing his face and habits?Something kicked my chest.Oh, my goodness. That would be a dream come true.Still…the villain side of me was telling me that it was too good to be true and when that happened, then it was not true. Please tell me you are joking, I pleaded in my mind. Please tell me you are only playing a prank so that I won't be getting my hopes high. Please. Just please. But again, he did not say anything.Wait. Was this real?If that is too good to be true, then that is not true, my mind repeated. I must ask him. "W-what are you trying to say, Lennox?" I ask
KEIRA:The alpha allowed me to cry which I was thankful for. He did not touch me nor patted my back to console me.He just stood there. Like a robot.Sometimes, I want him to touch me, to feel his embrace. To feel his warmth. To feel that he also cared for me, but another part of me wanted none of that.It would only break me more.I did not know if I could handle my emotions well if he touched me. When my emotions subsided…When I was done, my eyes were puffy and red. Snots were in and out of my nostrils. There was nothing beautiful about me right now. Unlike the other women out there who still looked beautiful despite everything. I continued sniffing while refusing to look Lennox in the eyes given my current face.I promised myself that this would be the last time I would be crying because of him. I already cried a lot of buckets of tears. "L-Love? A-are you okay now?" Alpha Lennox inquired softly. I nodded. “S-sorry for sobbing like that. D-did I make you feel awkward? I promise
KEIRA:"Doll, we cannot know for sure, okay? If Alpha Lennox will only open his eyes, he will know for sure what an amazing woman you have become. You became stronger."Drank talk. Those sweet words were nothing but the result of the alcohol in his system. "Just..continue drinking, Tate. Do not give me false hope. I don't need any of that."What I wanted was a dose of another taste of reality. An overdose would be good to awaken me from this stupidity.Tate's eyebrows crumpled, he stood, grabbed my hand, and heaved me up until I sat beside him. He snaked his arms around my shoulders bringing me closer to his body while his free hand snatched another beer. "Here. Let's forget about the alpha and focus on you. I am rooting for your happiness, doll and if you want someone who wanted to divert your attention, I can—""Don't you dare treat me like a slut and offer me your friends, Tate. The moment you do that, I will cut off their dicks and feed them to the beasts," I hissed, cutting off
ALPHA LENNOX:'What are you waiting for? Charge!' the beast demanded while growling inside. He was going in circles, as if he was ready any minute to kill my beta. 'Kill anyone who dared to touch our Luna!'My fist trembled. The anger emitted by the beast was so raw that it felt like poison in my throat.I wanted the beta's blood. I wanted to kill him.'Kill him, Lennox! How long will you keep on staring at the two? Your traitor beta is coveting your wife! Will you only look at them?'Darkness started to swallow me.The beast started to take over my body.However, the rational part of me wanted something else. Stop. That is your beta. Tate and Keira were best friends even before. You know that. The beta was consoling the Luna.Still…I stepped forward and halted. This was wrong.No! 'What use do I have with a beta who has a missing hand? What use will I have with a beta who is no longer breathing at all?' I inhaled deeply while taking a step backward. I must control my emotions
KEIRA:What the...My head became light-headed as Tate continued kissing me. I was too stunned to push him away or I would respond to his kiss. Respond? No! Why would I? Tate was a friend and friends never kissed each other. My eyes widened when he nibbled my lower lips and that was it. It felt like a bucket of cold water was thrown at me. I swung my fist and hit Tate's face.He staggered at my punch and looked at it with wide eyes while touching his painful jaw."Tate?" I asked in disbelief. My hand went to my parted lips. "What have you done?""I did kiss you, doll," he answered matter of factly. He was never even guilty about it. I stepped back from him while trying to calm my racing heart. Looking around, I was glad that no one was around. Even if this was only a fake marriage, I should never taint Lennox's family. And Alpha John. What would he say if he discovered that the beta and I kissed?Oh, gods. That should never happen!"You are not even sorry about it?” I slapped m
