KelieghI sighed as Roman finally left my bedroom, and I was along once more. The feeling of loneliness always creeped in whenever he wasn’t around and I wrapped my arms around myself and went back to sit on the edge of the bed.I wished that Roman would be able to stay by my side every single day and base away all those nightmares when I was sleeping.But he was the Beta of the Pack, after all. And I couldn’t stop him from doing whatever he had to.Another sigh left my lips.And in the next moment, a knock came on the door, followed by a door opening.I stiffened at the sound, as a maid walked in and bowed a little to me out of respect trot a guest.“Miss, dinner is ready,” the maid said to which I pressed my lips thinly and looked aside.I couldn’t help it; the feeling of always going to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner at the dining hall where I would face more taunts from Alpha Arnold and Selene, was pretty depressing. It would always rattle me, even when I tried to not let things

KeileighI walked behind Kara who led me to the hall I didn’t know was here before. The faint sounds of music slowly swelled up, increasing in volume as I approached it.I felt like I was walking into a situation I didn’t know, and it wasn’t by choice. Why did the two Alphas of the pack throw this party? And why was I invited? I tried my best to inform Kara before, that I wouldn’t be attending and I even protested when the maids had tried to make me change out of my clothes. But in the end it was for nothing.The older woman told me in no uncertain terms that I had no choice. It was an order from Alpha Ryker that she got me ready and she would be punished if she disobeyed his orders. I had a feeling that the woman was bluffing a little but I didn’t have the heart to call her bluff in case she ended up actually getting punished.My blue dress swished around as I walked. I hadn’t been decked in jewelry like this since I reached my majority and my father threw a large party that lasted n

KeileighI was in my bedroom now, my body shaking and the memories of the party coming back to me.I had caused the two Alphas to fight.That shame and guilt built up in me that I found I was trembling.After Ryker had taken me out of the party hall I had refused to go anywhere else with him because somehow I couldn’t stand it. Somehow that act of his had been the one to make me snap out of the way I had been frozen, watching everything go like it were from a book.I ran away from him and locked myself in my bedroom.I thought that would help me think more clearly and figure out what to do.But it had only made me become more lost.My stomach churned uncomfortably and I felt like I was the harbinger of bad luck to this mighty pack. There was no other way to describe how two brothers would suddenly be at odds once I came into the picture.As tears prickled my eyes I heard the knock on the door.Wiping my eyes I quickly stood up, wondering who it might be. I was left gaping afterwards a

KeileighThe next morning I opened my eyes blearily and slowly sat up on autopilot. It took me some time of blank staring in front of me to realize i had just woken up.I looked down at myself and saw I was still wearing the dress from the previous night’s Larry and confusion filled me for a second or two before I remembered the events of what had happened. A groan slipped from my lips and I teased my head into my hands.The party had been a disaster, hadn’t it? And after that Selene had come to my room to threaten me. I had broken down.My face warmed up on recalling how Alpha Ryker had gently held me and comforted me in a slow and deep soothing voice while I cried.“Oh no,” I groaned, my voice muffled.Why had I done that? Why had I let Alpha Ryker see me like that? And worse, why had I let him comfort me? I remembered his warmth as I pressed my face into his chest. His clavent had been somehow calming even when I didn’t want it to be. My mind had warred with my heart then, and I lo

RomanI walked down the hallway towards the Alpha Ryker’s study. I hadn’t come here since the surprise party - at least it was a surprise to me - where Keileigh was announced to be their mate.I grit my teeth and tried to not appear too upset by the thought of those events. I had not expected Alpha Ryker to be so spontaneous and act that way. If I had an idea that would happen I would have found a way to convince Keileigh to instead stay by my side.Mate bond be damned, I would have never let Alpha Ryker or Alpha Arnold touch her.But no matter.This was just another reason for me to bring the two brothers down by force and destroy everything they held dear.I got to the door of the study and was about to open it but my hand stopped halfway when I heard Ryker’s voice.He was speaking about… jewelry?I continued to listen and then heard him order Kara to bring a jeweler here, likely to get something made for Keileigh.I scowled at the thought. Show off. Did he think he could simply win
