Alexa In the blink of an eye, Ethan was right on top of me. His eyes stared hungrily at me, ready to eat me whole. My heart was beating drums; if there was any time to stop this, it was the best time. But my body ached for him, as he slid his finger across my collarbone, dragging my tiny sleeves down my arms. I shivered and bit down on my lower lip, waiting for more, my eyes never leaving his. I watched how his eyes dropped to my lips and back up to my eyes. It felt like he was hesitating nd it was slowly turning the moment into some cold scene. So I tried to get out of his hold, but in that moment, he pulled me by my neck and ravaged my lips, not even giving me time to think. I tried to catch up with his pace, but he wasn’t even giving me time to adjust; his tongue slid, making my mouth full that I could barely moan out. I felt choked up, but it made my toes curl. The way he was giving me no time to think, no time to breathe. He was seizing me as a whole, hands roaming around my b

AlexaFinally, it was time for me to leave this damn hospital, and of course Ethan was taking me out; he had been dodging my questions, like what’s the status of the plan, what’s going on in the company? Jeffery’s dinner party. He dodged them all, and now we were heading out of town. Which meant we were not heading to the mansion. I was tired of asking questions and not getting any answers, so I just let him do what he wanted, and then we were before a common Canadian housing in an undeveloped street. No guards behind us; it was just us, and Ethan now picked my hospital bag up and then opened the door up for me. I was still seated because it was so damn confusing. What are we doing here? “Do you need me to lift you?” I stepped out of the car immediately. Wincing a little when I tried straightening up. “Take it slow,” Ethan said to me slowly. The door was unlocked, and he simply pushed the door handle, setting himself aside for me to walk in at the same time the familiar figure rus

AlexaI insisted on walking today; the pain had reduced, and I had been in a space for too long. The minute I was out of my room, I met the person I least expected. “We need to talk.” Mr. Bouchard gestured at me to walk into my room with me. But I would be the most foolish to be alone with a man who tried to harass me when I was a child and has a lot of crimes hidden under his desk. “Ethan is not here.” He cocked a brow. “I only have business with your son. If you wish to speak to me about him, I’m currently not fit to take notes of your discussion and forward it to him.” He scoffed with obvious disbelief. “You’ve got some nerve, huh? I guess you have truly bewitched my son to turn his back on me, on his own father. You think you would get onto a ladder of wealth; that is the reason you convinced him to kick me out of my own company. Are you not fit, huh? The next time I will make you be in a casket.” He hissed and turned to walk away, with his guards walking out. His words we

Ethan The door burst open before the words came out of my mouth, and our attention went to the familiar figure that walked in with a rose bouquet in his hand. Fucking bastard. “I’m sorry for coming late.” Jeffery Thomson stated as he walked in, barely sparing me a glance. Watching him approach Alexa sparked something within. Besides, he was one of the major reasons we faced that accident, yet he approached Alexa with a soft look to what…trying to win her over. Alexa even tried to shake her head in disagreement; I could see the gladness in her face. Something she couldn’t even show to me when she awakened. Yeah, I wanted to confess my feelings to her, but now I feel fucking stupid- so stupid that all I wanted to do was walk out and let them enjoy their company since I might not be in her opinion. But something was still keeping me, a major part of me that believed we shared the same feeling, and I was just being jealous. “It’s my fault.” “Yes, it is.” I agreed to Jeffery’s statem

AlexaAside from my mother, I could never take a bullet for anyone. I was certain about that, certain about loving my life when I tried countless times to take it. I could barely cut myself even, but when the covered man behind pulled out his gun and pointed at Ethan, I lost all fear. Damn, was I even thinking? But even with this pain shooting through my abdomen, my head banging, and my vision blurring, I knew if I was to be placed in the same position again, I would take a bullet for Ethan. Another gunshot sounded; I'm not sure that was directed at me; it certainly wasn’t directed at Ethan because Ethan was above me the next second. “Call the hospital, now!” His yelling passed through my blurred hearing; everything was slowly dying down, aside from his heavy breathing and his pleading for me not to shut my eyes. I badly wanted to, though; I needed to rest, just for a few seconds, for the pain to stop, but wet fluid kept dropping right on my face. It couldn’t be rain; I could feel

EthanI pulled out my gun from under the car seat, registering Alexa’s flight at the same time. She would need to get stronger than this; being by my side gives her lots of chances to get hurt. Just as I predicted, they were fully covered, with just their eyes left out, all stepped out from the bush on either side of the road. She was full on trying to catch her breath. “Stay in here, Jude. Keep the doors locked, don’t let her out regardless of what happens outside.” Jude nodded immediately, and I was set to step out of the car when she gripped the hem of my shirt. “There are too many; we can’t fight them.” She muttered, fright clearly written on her face. I wanted to assure her that everything would be fine, but even I wasn’t sure about that. I need to return safely with her; I need to find out who is after me. “We can’t run either, Alexa; we need to find the one behind this. So just stay in. It would be hard to protect you if you are exposed. I’m certainly their target-” I mean,

Elena I watch life drain out of Beatrice’s eyes, but before I can say a word, Mikhail grabs my wrist and begins to pull me down the stairs. Not that pitied Beatrice, she clearly still has a thing for Dmitri, she betrayed Mikhail, and abandoned her daughter, what’s more ridiculous is the fact since she came, she doesn’t seem curious about her daughter’s wellbeing. She still hasn’t asked about Esther, my heart broke for her, but it also fuels my determination to be a better mother that she never was to Esther. “Wait! You can’t do this to me, we are mates, a-and I have your child,” She rushes behind us, and this time I am the one to pull back, fed up with her acting.“You have his child?” I pull my wrist from Mikhail’s and walk back to Beatrice, she tries looking past me, trying to ignore my confrontation but I got to her face to spit out the words. “Don’t you ever say that again. I am Mikhail’s mate, I will be the Luna and Esther is my daughter,” I say with so much confidence. It’s r

Elena Mikhail seems disoriented after I told him all I did. I expected him to scold me for being reckless, slitting my wrist, and leaving him in the dark, but he’s just sitting still on the bed and staring into space. “Whar’s wrong?” I draw nearer to him, and he shakes his head. “I know why I wasn’t involved.” Involved? It didn’t seem he was talking about me going ahead of our plans. “They all knew about it, they had the evidence, and Ezekiel just knew the right button to push to get them to release the evidence. Now that it’s out, they are releasing all his crimes and leaving him to face it all by himself. Ridiculous.” He lets out a bitter laugh, which leaves me with the understanding that he is not happy about what is going on right now.“So they decided to use the ‘no family victim in court when a family member is a perpetrator’ card in this case to cover up another ill doings they are about to commit. My absence will hide further truth from disposing, and you getting summoned

Elena Mikhail seems disoriented after I told him all I did. I expected him to scold me for being reckless, slitting my wrist, and leaving him in the dark, but he’s just sitting still on the bed and staring to deep space. “Whar’s wrong?” I draw nearer to him, and he shakes his head. “I know why I wasn’t involved.” Involved? It didn’t seem he was talking about me going ahead of our plans. “They all knew about it, they had the evidence, and Ezekiel just knew the right button to push to get them to release the evidence.

MikhailSomething is about to happen. I can’t say it’s all good because Dmitri has been summoned to court. It’s even more strange because this is my Pack, I am the leader, but I am excluded from the decisions of not just any pack member, but my…my brother. As much as it feels wrong to call him that, it’s a fact I can’t forever deny, aside from that, there’s Elena with a bandaged wrist. But after Darius had disseminated the information, I was sure about my stance. It was neither good nor bad. Everyone is standing still, waiting for me to end the call, but I was done even before I hung up After Darius explained that the evidence about Dmitri killing our father is already at the court and also is already spreading widely in the pack, it still didn’t justify the reason that they didn’t tell me. “W-what, why are you staring at me like that?” Dmitri questioned nervously, chuckling while I recall how I found the patch of poison in his room, the same poison that had caused my father’s deat

Elena “I’m not sure you would like me to speak about it here,” Ezekiel stretched it and the hiss comes as expected. His persistent pissed Dmitri off. Dmitri says no word after letting out a hiss and Ezekiel had gotten the info that he’s not willing to speak with him in private, so he announces. “The officials are beginning to fall out of your side. And the heritage given to you seems to be holding illegal activities and they are all placing you as the front man.” I hold back a smile when Dmitri turns back to Ezekiel sharply. His eyes are wide, with a little hint of terror as he finally appraoches us. “Don’t you fucking play with me, Ezekiel.” He curses yet he’s still standing right by my side. Victory rolls like a tennis ball within me, he’s speedingly reaching his end, with Ezekiel fulfiling his deal on leaking on how he had killed the late Alpha, also his crimes while he had being away from the pack. Ezekiel bowed his head. You see, I knew he’s that good of an actor, he looks

Elena Ezekiel doesn’t bulge. Not when the door clicked open, not when it clacked shut. He remained still like a rock, snoring and looking annoyingly lazy. I slowly walked to him; he only shifts when the bed dips, but before his eyes can fall open, I aim for his throat. “One move and this knife will send you to meet with your family.” That’s a wrong choice of words; however, he didn’t pity me when I was being harassed and raped by his boss. He had set me up and used me. While that is his level of humanity and his revenge, to which I don’t totally blame him, I also have to fight for my people. It’s sad how we turned out this way, though. “W-what,” The moonlight that filters through the light curtain aids me in witnessing Ezekiel’s fright. The room isn’t relative hot, but I can see sweat bumps sliding down his forehead. “You and I have scores to settle, and it ends today. One of us…is going to die tonight, either you, which would save you from the future torture in your boss’s hands
