Chapter 12Ace's POV“W…what?” I asked stunned.“Exactly what you heard,” he replies, sipping his whiskey, which he had just served himself.“What do you mean by she does not have a wolf? Is she human?” I ask because that is the only reasonable explanation right now.“She's not human, she's a werewolf who's wolfless,” he says.I took a seat in front of him, trying to absorb the information I just heard. “Is that even possible? How can there be a werewolf who doesn't have a wolf, I mean a wolf is what makes a person a werewolf, right?” I asked baffled.“Well, you just met someone who doesn't have a wolf, your innocent sister-in-law Lexa, so it's very possible,” he mutters sarcastically.“Is that why you've refused to accept her, and you are treating her badly?” I ask.“Should there be a bigger reason than this? She lied to me, she knew about her state all this while, yet she deceived me into performing the mating ceremony, should I be buying her flowers every day and worshiping her aft

Chapter 14Alexa's POVFriends? Does he want to be friends with me? But why? I thought he had only been nice to me out of pity. Why is he suggesting friendship all of a sudden? Is this a trap? Is he going to make me like and depend on him, only to leave me hanging in the end? I have trust issues now, you can't blame me, not after all that has happened to me. Good looks won't fool me this time. I have learned my lesson the hard way. I peer into his eyes, trying to find out if he has any other ulterior motive.“Lexa? What are you thinking about?” he asks me, still smiling.“Why do you want to be friends with me?” I questioned him curiously.“Should there be a reason?” he asks meekly, brushing some strands of hair that have fallen on his face away, looking all cute.Nice try, but I won't fall for that easily.I nod my head vigorously, “There should be a reason, you've been very nice and accommodating since you met me,”. He was nice to me even before finding out I was wolfless, so it woul

Chapter 16Ace's POVI leave Alexa's room thinking about everything that has happened. I was taken aback when she asked me why I wanted to be friends with her. I wasn't expecting that question and to be honest, I didn't understand why I wanted to be close to her too. I looked into her bright hazel eyes, the most beautiful shade I'd ever seen, and I felt enchanted. She was having difficulty trusting me, which made my heart break, but I can understand how she feels.She has built a wall around her heart to prevent herself from being hurt again, and I'm going to slowly break down that wall until she learns to start trusting again. And when she said all those things about herself, It felt like I was getting hurt also. I know about self-pity and loathing and if she continued, it would consume her until she loses herself completely. I had to reassure her to make her have confidence in herself again. She has been through a lot, and Kai was not helping matters at all.He is her mate who was s

Chapter 18Alexa's POVHis stare makes me squirm uncomfortably under his gaze. I feel completely naked under his gaze and tried to cover myself properly with my robe that has almost fallen off, but he held my hand tightly and stops me. His big hands wrap around my small wrists, and his touch feels extremely cold making goosebumps appear on my exposed skin. I look down and avert my eyes from his, he grabs my chin and raises my head to look up at him. My breath hitches when I look into his dark blue orbs.“And since when has this friendship started?” he asks huskily. His voice laced with arrogance, his lips just an inch away from mine, his warm minty breath fanning my face, my heart starts hammering loudly in my chest, a part of me wants his lips to meet mine, the places he touches me all tingly all over. But a more reasonable, sensible part of me screamed at me to run for the hills for this didn't seem right.I'm surprised at how calm his voice is, doesn't he hate me? Why is he acting

Chapter 20Alpha Kai's POVI can't believe this.Ace is really doing all this just to spend more time with that lowlife.I had thought Ace was just being nice to her out of pity, that was why I decided to get her off his back for his own good. As the Beta of the biggest and most feared pack, he can't be seen associating himself with someone like her, someone almost human, if this gets out, we will be the laughingstock among other packs. Why can't he just accept that I'm doing this for his own good?I remember what he was asking for. We had been at war with another pack three months ago, and I had gone on an official trip, leaving the pack in the hands of Ace. The pack was under attack and Ace had single-handedly handled everything in my absence. I was so proud when I returned and got the news that I had told him to ask for anything he wanted, and I would grant his request.I remember his exact words were 'I have everything I need right now brother, but when the time comes, and I want
