"How many times did I tell you I will no longer tolerate late payments, you bitch!" the landlord exclaimed, his saliva spreading all over my face. Yuck.I wiped away some remnants of his saliva on my face, disgusted. "I'm not a bitch," I replied. "I'll pay you, old man. I promise. Give me more time, okay?""When? You always promise. If I did not pity you, you would be sleeping on the streets right now." With a bored look, I stared at his fancy gold pieces of jewelry distributed all over his body. He was brave to flaunt his wealth with no fear of being robbed. Yes, he had his bodyguard with him, but that was not enough if the thief intended to snatch all his belongings away. I could take everything he had in one single take. A snap in the neck. And putting poison inside his bodyguard's body. Everything was easy.However, I did not want to do that. I had to blend in the mortal world. Be at peace with them though werewolves and humans were already in cohabitation. Humans were slowly a

My mouth opened and closed. What? A new stripper? I did not tell Andrea I’d like to be one. What kind of foolishness is this?I did not sign for this. I backed away since that was the only thing I know for now. It would be okay if I knew how to dance, but dancing was never my forte. When others see me dancing, the crowd would disperse, and I was afraid I would become the reason why the customers would leave. “Are you or you not?” he asked, growing impatient at my hesitation. “If not, well, you will lose a lot of cash. The customers are willing to pay regardless of the amount as long as they will have a good time. Oh, god. She promised she would bring me one.”I sucked my breath when I heard the word cash. My ears perk up. Cash was all I needed right now before the old man would kick me out of my apartment. And I shouldn't be choosy. Gulping, I asked, "How much would you pay?" I saw a stripper once, when I was watching videos from my social media accounts. And I stumbled upon a doc

The way I walked faster than ever, It seemed like someone was chasing me and was planning to kill me.I didn't even glance to check if someone was tailing me or not. All I wanted was to get away from the club. Especially Alpha Lennox. Did I regret coming here?Partly yes. Partly not. Hugging the jacket to my chest, I dived into the crowd of patrons who were still enjoying the women dancing on the dance floor. They shouted and whistled, loving every moment of the performance.“I bet he is also enjoying it,” I muttered to myself.I staggered, momentarily realizing what I just said. No. That was not jealousy I was feeling there. It was something else. Embarrassment? But not longingness for him. The chapter of our book was already closed when he rejected me just because I was an omega of the pack.The smell of smoke wafted through the air which made me feel sick.I forced my feet to walk again. Must get out. Never a fan of cigarettes and alcohol because of the fact that I could never

I leaned back on the chair. “You have not changed a bit. You are still good at using people to your advantage. Why does everybody treat me like trash?” I mumbled.Glancing at me and returning his eyes to the road ahead of him, Alpha Lennox replied, “Because you allowed people to treat you one. Do you know what I remember about you? An omega who let anyone trample her. Weak. Cry baby and hide at Father’s side whenever you have the chance too. The confusing part was Alpha John kept on siding with you and defending you against your bullies. The more you ask for his help, the more I hate you. He keeps on ordering me to defend you from our packmates. But I did not listen to them. That time, I was a jerk who allowed those bullies to continue their hostilities."Those were one of the endless reasons why he rejected me? Was it my fault that Alpha John was the only kind person who knows my struggle?"Congratulations on your photographic memory," I said with sarcasm. “You only see my weakness a

Something warm engulfed me and I snuggled closer to it. Moaning, I extended my arms around the snuggly and hard object. Something cozy snaked closer to my waist and my body was lifted in the air.Wait. What? Why would my body be lifted? Was I dreaming?Someone was saying something. A familiar man’s voice. Alpha Lennox. I snapped my eyes open and was greeted by the alpha’s blue-green eyes. Ocean. Why did he carry me again? Did something happen? “Keira. You are awake,” he said, smiling.Why would he even smile at me? Realization dawned on me. Alpha Lennox was carrying me! To my surprise, I punched him in his jaw. He released me and I fell on the bed with a yelp.Horrified, I watched him. “Why did you touch me?” Using my arms, I covered my chest even if I was still decent. Pointing my trembling hands at him, I added, “You are finally showing your true colors! I should have never allowed you to sleep in the same room. This is insane. This is a mistake. There is no way I am sharing a
