"I'll surprise you very soon, and I'm sure you'll like it," were the words I heard from Lennox before he left me this morning. He didn't wait to explain to him as he was in a hurry to sort out whatever problem that came up. For whatever reason, I believed the problem wasn't a big deal. Our relationship for the past few days was what I could say was the best even though it couldn't be compared to that of Asher but I was happy. Maybe I was wrong that I was happy because I couldn't take my mind off of him, my mate, Asher. No matter what Lennox does to please me. I felt it wasn't enough even though I didn't make it obvious. I missed him and I wished he could return. I snapped out of my thoughts and looked up as a knock landed at the door. "Come in," the door creaked open and two beautiful ladies dressed in maid uniforms walked into my chamber. I thought they'd missed their ways until they walked closer to me and bowed their heads respectfully. Of course, I didn't have a problem with t

LennoxWhat!I felt my head spinning and my heart aching in pain the moment I saw her. The pain, sadness, and anxiety I felt suddenly disappeared after she climbed up the stairs and I confirmed that she was the mate I had been looking for. She was back to my pack, to my mating celebration, by herself. She was my mate, Ariella. I felt an invisible rope tightened around my heart. Somehow, I couldn't tell how I should feel after her arrival. I was supposed to be happy and over the moon that she was back after a few months of looking for her, but surprisingly, I didn't feel any of it, instead, I felt disappointment and anxiety. Maybe because of the time she came. Yeah. She shouldn't have returned. She came at the wrong time. The time that I was supposed to be mated and entwined with Alessia but she ruined it with her presence. I could feel the happiness in the guests and pack members, who were aware that she was missing, but I couldn't tell the same."Who is she, Lennox?" I looked up

AlessiaArgh!I screamed out angrily and threw myself on the floor after running into my room from the ballroom. Tears streamed down from my eyes as I remembered what she did to me, how she abused and mocked me for being a b*tch, how she slapped me, and how she disgraced me in public. Not only did she ruin the mating celebration that I was supposed to have with Lennox but she also made me look like a bad person in the presence of the pack members. Was I a b*tch? Somehow, I believed she was right. If I wasn't a b*tch, I wouldn't have neglected the connection between me and Asher and go for Lennox who my heart didn't fully choose. Although I believed I was a b*tch, I hated to admit it. I believed that I was right even though I knew that I was wrong and I shouldn't have fallen for Lennox. But was there something that I could do about it? No, there wasn't."I hate you, Lennox. I hate myself for falling for you," I screamed out and hit my palm on the floor like a mad person. Yes, I agre

Alessia"Stop!"A loud bang was followed after Lennox's voice was heard. He kicked her hand and the stake fell from her hand before it could pierce into my heart. I breathed out in relief and wiped off the beads of sweat that formed on my forehead. My body shivered knowing that I was almost killed by his mate because he loved me. How could she do such a thing? I knew there was no way I could survive if the stake got to my heart. It wouldn't only destroy my heart but release a poison that would make it impossible to heal from it. The victim would die in unbearable and miserable pain. I was glad that he came to my rescue because my chance of surviving was low. I felt saved, and somehow, it stirred up a strange feeling inside of me. I snapped out of my thoughts and looked up as I heard scolding her for doing such a thing to me. "You would have killed her with that stake if I didn't come in, right?" He asked, and she scoffed. "Yes. What do you think? Even if I'm given a chance now,

Lennox I glared at Alessia with an icy look on my face after finishing my statement, and she looked up at me with a surprised look on her face. She wasn't expecting me to make such a statement. Even without thinking, I knew what she was planning to do and I wouldn't let that happen easily. She wanted to pin me with my mate so that I could let go of my feelings for her. It's such a pity that she was relentlessly trying to make someone else happy but she wasn't thinking about herself. I knew she wanted me and didn't want me to go but she had no choice because she was scared of losing her life. Somehow, I thought she was selfish because if she wasn't selfish, she wouldn't have said I should get rid of whatever feelings I have for her even though she was still harnessing feelings for me. No matter how hard she tried to give up on her feelings for me, I knew she would end up coming back to me. I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at her curiously, waiting for her response. I wanted
