Vanessa's POV“Vanessa, no need to be shy.We know each other too well."Alpha Marcus said with a smirk on his face. His hold on my arm tightened, and I stumbled behind him. I kept turningaround, wishing I could just run back to the safety of my mate’s arms.“He's now a part of your past, you should now embrace your future mate, the mighty Alpha Marcus."He responded. My heart clenched painfully, and I wanted to scream. I just wanted to goback to Alpha Ace.“Why are you doing this?” I asked desperately. “There is nothing specialabout me. You of all people know this.”Alpha Marcus turned around and grinned. “First you must tell me, do you miss the good times we had, I cherish them to this day."His words reminded me of the scars that I thought had healed but I could still feel the pain." I won't lie, I dreaded every moment that we spent together."I replied. " C'mon baby, that's in the past.A lot things have changed and I've learned to embrace change over the years."Alpha Marcus respo

Chapter twenty threeVanessa’s P.O.VI had come to learn that every person had flaws regardless of how perfect they seemed. Alpha Marcus had been the face of my nightmares and now there was a possibility he was my secret guardian. I remember the first time I laid my eyes on him and my body drooled for him and his touch. He always knew his way around me and made me want him with his Alpha pheromones making a strong heat to surge within me. Sometimes I even yearned for his touch again but I would never let him know that. Though he was cold and ruthless , while I was his slave he treated me well compared to Ella and Dwayne who found great joy by inflicting pain on me. But I was not ready to forgive him now, the wounds were still to fresh. What the fuck did he want to say to me.“Vanessa, you look nice.” Alpha Marcus said as he made an advance towards me.“Is that why you wanted to see me?” I asked him avoiding his advances. “I must say, you seem different, even your aura.” Alpha Marcus

Ella’s P.O.VWhat was so special about a plain white werewolf, it was just the coloration of the furs. Every Alpha was obsessed with the white wolf; the true Luna and apparently Vanessa was the true Luna, that bitch slave. I’d got rid of her once but now I’ll get rid of her for once and for all, she was not going to take my Alpha Marcus, he was mine. Alpha Marcus had warned me about my schemes of messing with her but I was going to be clinical this time, I’d leave no evidence around. Alpha Marcus was going to br the Alpha king eventually and I’d be the Alpha queen.Since Vanessa had reappeared in the picture, Dwayne was overjoyed with her presence since he knew I’d hate every fucking moment she was here. After Vanessa had disappeared I’d cut ties with Dwayne and stopped messing around with him, he had nothing to lose and I had everything to lose. He’d not taken the rejection easily but eventually he came around it, ever since he’s been acting as a big jerk. I can slowly feel me and A

Vanessa’s P.O.VThe mating ceremonyI woke up filled with anxiety and excitement, I’d never been this well rested. If only my mother was here to talk me through it, but I still felt her presence telling me to be strong. After I’d taken a shower, I went to the packhouse dinner to have breakfast.“Hey, Vanessa you should thank us for preparing you for Alpha Marcus. If you think we’re monsters then he’s a fucking beast.” My step brother commented and the people in his table burst out into laughter.“Am just happy that am leaving this place, I’ll never come back.” I snapped back at him. “What did you just say to me?” He asked enraged as he stood up and advanced toward me. “You heard me.” I replied. I was expecting him to hit me like he usually did but his older brother stopped him before he struck me, “Father said we should not lay a hand on her, she’s the Alpha’s gift.” He suggested .Time went by fast and it was evening. As I stared at myself in the mirror, I thought I was really beauti

Vanessa's P.O.VI whipped around a bend, and the Auto Body appeared down the road. The parking lot out front was empty, but there was a black truck in the left-hand bay that looked quite familiar. My stomach twisted, and bile rose in my throat. What the hell was he doing here?. A light breeze carried his forest-scented cologne, and heat rushed to my lower belly. His pupils dilated as his dark eyes penetratedmine.Oh, God.I was a sweaty mess, and my blouse stuck to my body in awkwardplaces.Alpha Marcus, on the other hand, was just as gorgeous as always. His deep brown eyes traced over my body, and his lips quirked into a smile. Desperate to rekindle my dignity, I snapped, “What the hell are you doing here?”“Oil change. What are you doing here,Vanessa. Not planning to leave town, I hope?”I sure the hell am.Something about him made the hair on my neck stand on end, though I Couldn't quite put a finger on it. Power. Presence. An undercurrent ofdanger. dragged my gaze from his. “Since
