Romans de Diamond

Harper When Jaxon leaves my arm.“What are you doing?” I whispered to him trying to hold him back from leaving.“Everyone is watching Jaxon and if you move them wrong you might kiss your career goodbye. You may not just be dealing with just Jasmine but me”“Are you perhaps trying to threaten me?” He asked and someone looked at us, one of my father's partners. My cheeks curved into a fake smile.That's what this is all about, faking it and putting up a smile even if it hurts right from the time Jaxon and I walked into this party he hasn't smiled not even once.Is that how much he hates being around me? And he keeps searching for Talia.I befriend for one thing, to make her feel guilty for what she has done and also to make her choose between me and Jaxon.I want her to make staying away from Jaxon a mission and each time she's with Jaxon and my face comes to her head she will just leave.. It's just human psychology making other people feel guilty over what they have done.It's simple

Talia Daniel wrapped his hand around my waist and the other held my hand as he guided me through the slow western music playing but what I didn't expect was to hear the voice of Jaxon.I swallowed.He looks like he is about to beat anyone who gets into his way. His fist balls by his side and his jaw clenches and I'm sure he must have seen us.Daniel and I and Daniel putting his hand on my waist was the last straw of it even though he didn't wait for us to have the best dance Daniel has been bloating about.Daniel doesn't take his hand off my waist.“Who are you? Why are you asking to see my girl?”Girl! The possessiveness in Daniel's tone, the way he claims me to be his and then I look up not at Jaxon but behind him where Harper is standing in frustration, she's glaring at me and I don't say anything. Jaxon have left her alone in the dance floor to come for me.But why? Wasn't he supposed to pretend like we all agreed to?If I leave with Jaxon it will be a problem between me and Harp

Talia I stared up to where the voice was coming from, black leather shoes that cost a fortune, crisp tailored black suit, my eyes flickering in recognition.I blinked.“Daniel”“Life and direct”“What!” I placed a hand over my mouth to prevent me from screaming. He is in his usual cowboy self and I swear I have missed him a lot then his gaze flickers to Jaxon and Harper arms in arms and then comes back to me that when I'm aware of my environment, everyone was sitting while I stood in the middle of the way.Shame wrapped around me like a cloth and I tough it out.“Don't you think they look so good together?” I asked Daniel while my gaze is still on Jaxon, he is backing us so he couldn't us.Daniel doesn't answer for a split of seconds before he nods.“Absolutely! Perfect couple” but there is a hint of doubt in his voice.“Never have I thought a day will come to see my step brother in the arms of a woman”“Women are always the price”“Here” he handed me a glass of champagne.“Thank you

Talia What hurts the most is seeing the person you love the most act like you're not in existence.I must have not seen him come in but when I heard his voice the excitement that bubbles inside my chest but then those words, kind and affectionate words wasn't for me, it's for someone else.I got so infuriated that I wanted him to see me, to look at me but before I could get to the door he was gone.“How are you? Are you still sick? Hope you took your drugs?” Keep ringing in my head like it's an alarm.The lady the maid he was talking to kept giggling like she just got her first paycheck. I glared at her but she wasn't looking at me, her head was lower on the floor.Since when did I become so bitter that the mare voice of Jaxon feels like the air I breathe. If I had the chance I would love to listen to him all day long as long as it's him I don't mind.The maiden got closer and that's when she noticed me.“Good morning miss Talia”I ignored her greetings, I noticed she's the new maid

Jaxon I must have slept off on the rocking chair facing the window while waiting for my Dad to return.Harper was out the same with Talia. Even though I find it strange. The Harper I know will not want to be friends with Talia but then I thought it's a new development and there is nothing wrong.Probably she have a change of heart about Talia. I stretched my arm, it was dark yet but it's evening, the sun has gone down leaving a cloudy evening that seems like it wants to rain and then my eyes spot the black range rover at the parking lot which means Dad is back.I stormed out,the anger returned in a bit of seconds and the moment I got to his study which is the place he always is each time he is home.Man doesn't have resting in his dictionary and I don't care if he works his ass out, he wasn't doing it for me and I have no interest in being his successor. He can choose Talia to be his next successor but one thing I promise me I'm not going to be a suit monkey like him that works his a

TaliaI laid on the bed, face down strolling through my phone when a knock came to the door.I'm not even in the mood to speak to anyone.It came again and I shouted lazily.“Who is there?”“It's me Harper”I sat up.What is she doing here? Is she here to fight me again? I have to think back if I have done anything or perhaps she's the one I feel was looking at us at the rink.Anyway I have to find out when I let her in so I stand to get the door. I bolted behind me when I got into the room.Her lips are curved into a small smile that doesn't reach her eyes.“Hey, can I come in” I studied her for a while wondering if it's a good idea to let her in but then on a second thought if she tries to do anything I will surely retaliate, it's not going to be like the last time.“I mean no harm” she raises her hand in the air like she read my mind.I opened the door wide to let her in, then she went to the edge of the bed and sat in touch with my bra I lazily placed on the bed. I didn't have t

SERAPHINE POV Words cannot describe the amount of rage I feel in me. How can he choose her over me? Not after what we’ve been through together. He dared to lay his hands on me and threatened to kill me because of that bitch. She was nothing to be compared to me, not even in strength or beauty. I couldn't stop thinking about what would happen if I didn't get what I wanted. I’ll forever be Beta's spoiled daughter. I never have an army to command, and I’ll take orders from her. That was torture for me; I wanted more; I wanted so much more and being the Beta’s daughter wasn't enough for me. I had been driven by the endless urge to control all my life. I don't know how I’d survive being controlled by that girl. She’d never be me, a weak ass bitch would never take my place in this pack. I watched from a distance as they kissed and had fun. I should be the one getting those kisses from the Alpha King; I should be the one loved by the Alpha King. I should be the one getting all these things

SELENA’S POV Finally, a place where I could feel at home, and it was in his arms. I thought I was lost until he came and held me. He didn't judge me, he didn't care that I was wolf-less, he loved me without question. He reassured me and made me feel wanted, he made me feel loved, and nothing else mattered. I was happy waking up next to him in the morning, feeling his presence and feeling protected. He gave me what I wanted, the sense of being loved and protected. He was more than just an Alpha King, he was everything to me. I watched as he still slept; he looked innocent, like a baby. His lips looked very attractive, and for a long time, I hadn't kissed those lips. I was tempted so I kissed him good morning. His morning voice was everything, he couldn't be more sexy. The way he held me, his grip was gentle but firm. It gave me this tingly feeling that I couldn't explain. I felt like doing anything I wanted, he’d always be there to protect me. After our good morning kiss and convers

TRISTIAN’S POV It’s been a month since I’ve been away from the pack, and those days that I spent without her by my side made me realize how much I missed her. I couldn't stop thinking about how she laughed, her eyes, and her husky voice when she woke up in the morning. I couldn't stop thinking about her smell, and how curious she always was. She was an interesting person even though she had been through a lot. Being rejected by your mate is not an easy thing to bear, especially when it's because they find you weak. I knew what she was, I knew she was a highborn with no wolf, but I chose to love her that way. With me, she doesn't need to feel so small, I’ll be able to give her as much protection as she needs. I had never felt more complete since she came into my life. My trip was over, I was very much excited about coming back to see her. I needed to be around her at least. Something about her makes me feel warm, especially when the ruthless part of me is about to emerge. Back in t

SELENA’S POV I clutched my sides, feeling a familiar ache that went deeper than flesh and bone. This was the same feeling I felt at the Moon Rise pack. I was known for my weakness, I was a high-born Gamma, but I was weak. It made me look like an outcast amongst my people. No matter how hard I try to cover the pain I feel, my heart always aches. It was a constant reminder that I’ll never belong. I will always be an outcast among the people I call family. I’ll always be a lone wolf in my pack. A dull, constant pain clouded my chest. One I had known for as long as I could remember. Emptiness gnawed at me every day. Even when I closed my eyes, I’d hoped it’d go away, but it was still there, always there, reminding me of what I lacked and what I was not.I didn't have a wolf. I’ll never have a wolf. I’ll be weak. In a world where everyone found strength in their other half, I was just... me. No fierce spirit lurking beneath my skin, no primal howl waiting to burst forth, no beast to gui

JASON’S POV I couldn’t help the smile that crept across my face as I watched everything unfold. I leaned back against the marble wall of the pack house, watching Selena walk like a shadow with her face down. She was trying to avoid the sneers and snickers that followed her. “Look at her,” Seraphine whispered, crossing her arms with a smirk. “The mighty Luna Queen brought down to this.” She laughed, a quiet, mocking sound that made the hairs on my arms stand up with a thrill. “And all because she doesn’t have a wolf. Who would have thought that our great leader was nothing but an empty shell? It was the perfect plot twist.”I chuckled, glancing at her with a gleam in my eyes. “And to think, she managed to hide it for so long. You were right, spilling her secret was the perfect move. The pack doesn’t even see her as one of them anymore. They can barely look at her. They don't even trust her.”“I bet they have more doubts about her.”The satisfaction in Seraphine’s expression was satis

SELENA’S POV I noticed the unusual way Seraphine looked at me in the courtroom, and it made me feel uncomfortable. What was she up to? I just hope she doesn't make my life a living hell just like Calista did back at my pack. I wanted to be worried about her but I waved it. The Alpha would always be here to protect me. No one here knows about my weakness so I won't worry about being bullied by her. She’ll only stare from afar. The next day, I woke up feeling strong and determined. I’d talk to Phinehas to know if I can get any information about the healing lady. My breakfast was served already as I woke up late. Tristian had other matters to attend to, so he left early; he wasn't going to be back for three days. I had to take care of the pack and make sure there was peace. That was the first day I had to rule without Tristian around. As I passed by a group of people, they laughed softly at first, but loud enough that I knew it was meant for me. I felt the familiar sting, their laugh
