Chapter: Chapter nineBranka’s POV My eyes opened slowly. It took a while for me to process what was going on around me and by the time I did, my eyes widened in fear. This place was not strange to me but I did not come here of my own accord. So….Then there was a sudden rush of memory that came to me about what happened. I focused on what was going on around me, trying to ignore my beating heart. My alpha was being strangled against the wall and he looked like he would die if he was not released soon. I should shout or try to get help for him. That was supposed to be a default reaction of any pack member if their leader was in danger. But I do not feel anything. Not even a nudge. I stared at the scene like I was watching a movie. By the time the man who held him let him go and said something I could not get, he left the room, but before sending me a glare that sent shivers down my spine. The man turned and his eyes met mine and moved back unconsciously. His gaze held mine and I could not even fathom

Chapter: Chapter eightKayden's POV The next few minutes happened in what seemed to be like a rush. One minute she passed out in my arms, the next, I was inside her Alpha's office. I laid her on the couch. I could sense and read from his thoughts that he did not like that one bit. But he would not dare to say anything. “Alpha King… there must have been a mistake somewhere. Branka is not the kind of person you will want for your mate. I promise you that.” He said. His tone and innuendo about her, I did not like it one bit. My gaze strayed over to the little girl whose name I’ve not heard before in my life. She looked so small and malnourished too. Earlier while I was on the rooftop, I needed some air. My coming to this particular pack was to confirm some of the allegations alive being heard about the alpha not being capable and that he might be involved in some of the illegal things that have been happening around. Not like I would catch him directly, but I wanted to be here and see the way he ran things

Chapter: Chapter sevenBranka's POV It felt as though the world was pulled out from underneath my feet. I was mesmerized. Even though I know that I had no powers or anything like that, from the distance I was seeing from right now, I can see the person he is. He was the man from earlier. The man that took my breath away even though I am not meant to feel that way for him. The man that gave me his coat even when I did not ask him for it. The man that made my heart skip for the first time in my entire life. The man that made me lose my hard earned control after all these years of bottling my feelings up in my mind. The man I spoke out of turn with and I'm sure right now that he'll have my head. Well, maybe not literally, he'd have reported me to Alpha Dorian since he was obviously an alpha. He would have told me how much I disrespected him outside the other time. Oh God. Maybe that was what all the attention was about. Maybe this was my funeral after all. But then, I don't want to be murdered in front o

Chapter: Chapter SixBranka's POV I hurried my steps. When it got to a point, I started to run, when it felt as though my feet were too slow. I could make my way around the place even in the darkness. It was as though because this is not my first time going through this. But this time around it was for my freedom. I can't imagine what would happen to me if I was caught right now. Forget being raped, I'll be killed this time around for real and even Dorian's father would not be able to do anything about it. Suddenly, it was as though I heard footsteps behind me. My heart started to pound fast and my eyes widened. Tears started to fall from my eyes and I continued. I was already in the woods now. My leg got stuck in a twig and I fell on my face. A feeling of deja Vu rushd over me. My breathing started coming in shorts pants and it felt as though I was hearing the voices and cackling if the people that used to bully me then. But then there was silence. I saw a big tree not far away from me, so I crawl

Chapter: Chapter fiveBranka's POV My heartbeat has been irregular since I came back inside the kitchen unnoticed which I was thankful for. I didn't want to call any more attention to myself than I already did tonight. There was literally nothing much to do anymore. The foods had been served and servers already took them to the banquet hall. The kitchen was almost empty and there was no Jessica in sight which I was thankful for. I don't think I have it in me to deal with that lady right now. I was packing up the dishes that were dirty when I suddenly felt hands grab me from behind. I screamed but my mouth was covered so the stream was muffled. “Arghrr….” I fought hard. But nothing beats strength. “Don't fight it, Branks. I know you want this too. Don't you?” I shook my head frantically against his chest. It was Damon. I could never forget his scratchy voice and he was the only one that called me Branks. “Don't say that. I've seen the way you look at me. Like you want me or something. So, I'll do the

Chapter: Chapter fourBranka's POV I blinked hard. Did I hear wrong? Or did he just say what I think he said? “Erm …l…like I said earlier, I don't know what you're talking about.” I pat myself at the back inmy head for not stuttering. Which is something I'm quite shocked about. “Answer me again. And this time,think twice before lying to me.” He replied in his very deep voice. That was when I knew that there was tears pooling in my eyes and they dropped. I quickly whipped them with the back of my hands. I didn't know why I don't know why I didn't want him to perceive me as weak. “I was not trying to commit suicide, I only wanted fresh air.” I said slowly, looking at everywhere but his face. Even though I could not see his face, because of the dark. “Look at me.” He said. No, commanded. There was nothing in his voice that hinted if he gave me a choice to answer. I knew I had to. Wit everything in me, I looked up at him. A thick shiver racked my frame and I suddenly felt self conscious about whatever

Chapter: Where did we stop?GwenI should stop this. This is not okay at all. I should not indulge in it. I should make him pay for doing this to me. He had no right whatsoever to touch me this way or make me feel the things that he was making me feel. This was all wrong. I should not feel horny because my ex-fiancee was touching me all over, and I was allowing him to. I indulged him. This is not me. Not at all.The fact that I was the strong one that did not allow any man to touch me for all these years does not mean that I did not have any self-respect or that I didn't have needs. I was not attracted to other men mainly. But there were some other nights where my feelings got the best of me and I touched myself thinking of him. It has only been him for me. No other man. Still, it doesn't make any sense that I succumb like this. “Stop, this Charles. Let go of me.” I said with all of the strength I had and pushed his head away from my boobs. My hands were on either side of his head, and I was about to remove

Chapter: The audacity only I haveGwenThe pressure in front of my head was building, and I knew I had to stop working, or I'd pass out, or something worse would happen. I looked around through the windows and no one was in their cubicle any longer. It was just me. I took the cup of coffee to sip again but then I discovered that there was nothing in it any longer. Well, shit. I was thinking of going to the employees’ common room that was on this floor to see if I could get something that would keep me for a while when my phone started ringing. Looking at it, it was Adeline. A tired smile made its way to my face. It's been a while since I spoke to her. God knows I'm a bad person. “Adeline.” I dragged out and I'm sure my tiredness showed with the way I said her name. I might as well have given myself up. “Tell me you're in your house right now.” She said sternly in her usual tone. I smiled. “I'm at home, not the house.” I taunted. I knew she'd understand the wordplay. “Can you stop pushing yourself so hard already

Chapter: I hate youGwenRain splattered on the sidewalk, and everywhere looked a bit messy, but that did not stop people from going to work or getting what they had to do. Everywhere was so busy I blamed myself a little for wanting to go out to get myself coffee. I did it in an attempt to walk and stretch a little from work. But then, since I got to this place, I've had my foot stepped on, been bumped into and my purse thrown to the ground. Who knew the whole of this street would be this busy? But then, I loved my walks when I had the chance to have them which wasn't every time. I take them up when I have the chance. And now, I needed to clear my head about a few things. My phone buzzed in my pocket and I made sure I was on the safe side before I brought it out of my pocket to avoid any more issues this evening. The reason I am drinking coffee this time of the day is that I am staying overnight at work. “Hello.” I swiped the caller ID and spoke into the phone without checking the caller. “You bette

Chapter: We needed to talkGwen's POV “What?!” The whole room resonated with her shout. I almost jumped out of my chair in response to her reaction. It was not surprising though. She always reacted overly. “Are you saying what I think you're saying?” She asked in a hushed tone like someone would walk in and catch her. I shrugged in reply. “What do you think?” I said silently. I felt a little embarrassed and I'm sure my cheeks turned pink just confessing to her what I'd done. “I know you two have a past, and the man is fine as hell, but he's the enemy and you know it.” She sounded with so much conviction that I felt like a child who had been scolded by her mother. “I know. I know. I…I..don't even know how to explain myself right now. It just happened.” I said to her almost in a lamenting voice. “No matter what happens, he's still your enemy for now. Fine, you work together a little but you should know that he wants to take your child away from you. Well, I'm sure that is what will happen if he knows about

Chapter: We almost had sexGwen's POV I sighed gently as I placed my head on the window sill beside my dress. Funny how I could not bring myself to sleep all these days. So instead of wasting the days away, I worked my ass off instead. I didn't give room for unnecessary thoughts even though they came along. Between different meetings and work calls, I made sure that there was still work in between. There is no avenue for unnecessary thoughts. Why? Because they were not worth it. Tam has been on my ass, telling me to rest and all, but how can I tell her the reason why I am working myself so hard was that I didn't want to be a scapegoat for my thoughts of my ex-fiancee and what I allowed him to do to me? Even the thought of it made my cheek burn. “Boss?” I jerked back to the present when I felt someone tap me. “Yes?” I sighed inwardly, not liking the fact that I went off again. “I'm sorry. Did you say something?” I asked. “No. I wanted to remind you that you are done and the dress needs to be taken to the s

Chapter: You taste like heaven Charles POV I knew what was going on in her mind and what she meant to do by doing this. I knew that she planned to hate me because of this later and probably pin it all on me. But even after knowing all of this, I still indulged her. I could not resist. She knew how much she affected me. The effect she had on me, no woman has ever held a candlelight even up to it, and she'd use that against me. I hated how much I loved the feel of her lips against mine and how warm it felt. It felt like being home after a long time. She felt like home. Bringing myself to the present, I pulled away from her gently. My eyes were still closed, but I could still feel her eyes on me. I forced them open to look at her. Desire hazed her eyes. She missed me too. She knew deep in her mind that we belonged together, and there was nothing that could stop whatever it was that was going on between us right now. I hate how much it hurts. “Don't do this, Gwen. Pl..please.” I hate how weak I become bec
