I was still as a rock. I had a faint idea of what he was about to say but I did not want him to confirm my fear.
“You were running away from this pack?!” he barked angrily, “I went to your house and the sight that greeted me was of a very clean house that had all things packed already. You were fleeing from here? Without even saying one damn thing to me?”
I flinched at his loud voice but then turned my head away and muttered, “It has nothing to do with you.”
“The hell it doesn’t!” he shouted, his hand slamming on the wall beside my head, “you are my mate! I have every fucking right to know what goes on with you!”
“No, I am not your m
Adrian kept staring at her in silence. Indifferent. It fueled her anger more. Grabbing a vase from the side table, she smashed it on the ground. And then continued to pick whatever came in her hands, screaming madly. “You! You ruined it! Why is it that every time I am in front of you, you don’t see ME?!” she flipped around to face Adrian again, her breaths heavy, eyes red, and unfocused. Her pupils were so enlarged that she looked like a mad woman. “I love you so much! I did so many things for you! Why don’t you see that? What the hell is wrong with me?!” “Get out.” Adrian said in a calm voice. She grabbed more things, throwing them on the ground. The whole floor was now filled with glass, and plastic, and all the other broken objects. “Guards!” a man rushed inside the room. “Take her out of my room.” The guard grabbed Lucinda’s flying arms. She still kept screeching wildly, completely out of control. I had never seen her like this ever before. I guess the shock of Adrian bei
I opened my mouth to scream my lungs but but then stopped at the very first squeak when I saw it was Adrian. With my eyes wide, and heart still thumping wildly in shock, I ran to the bedroom door to lock it from inside. “Surprise!” he grinned, standing up on his feet. “Shock!” I said breathlessly, “please give a small knock on the window when you come in next time. I don’t want to have heart problems in my twenties.” “Oh, so your heart beats fast when you see me?” he smirked, getting closer. “In fear. Trust me.” I said, looking out the window to make sure no one was watching. “And what are you doing here? If mom saw you, she is going to skin me alive. And I am not even saying that rhetorically. I mean literally. She WILL skin me alive.” He made a face and plopped down on the bed, making my anxiety rise. One, he was not supposed to be anywhere in my house. The thought of mom knocking at the door any second and smelling his scent was giving me a panic attack. And two, who would ev
“Just put everything down, and go back, please. I will settle in.” Leila said to the workers who had already arranged everything in the new house that alpha had gifted to live next to the pack house. I wished I did not have to face her again because it gave me a really painful feeling in my chest whenever I saw her smile. I don’t know why, but I detested being anywhere near her, especially because Lucinda was literally glued to her everywhere she went. And also because people had still not stopped talking about the same damn thing that happened with Kaya’s murder, but I was not that much affected anymore. I had to be courageous now. “Oh, hey, August!” Leila chirped sweetly, “are you here to clean the house?”Like you did not ASK for me to be sent specifically. What a random question.“Yes.” I bowed in front of her.And like my nightmare coming alive, Lucinda walked out of the house in her usual high and might self with displeased expressions on her face, “These omegas are just getti
My fingers tightened in a fist but I held back. Dropping my face to the ground, I mumbled, “Sorry.”“Don’t hit other people, Ara!” Leila scolded.Ara stepped back. “Oh, I also asked Ara to bring one of our most precious artifacts from our pack.” Leila smiled and took a seat, followed by Lucinda.She peeked over Lucinda’s shoulder to look at me, “August, will you bring it out of that box, please?”She pointed at the small box at the table. I pressed my lips tightly, and nodded my head. As much annoyed and angry I was, I had much important matters at hands now. Walking over, I grabbed the heavy box and brought it to their table. I bent down on the ground on my knees to open it. Opening the top of the box, I pulled out the piece that was quite heavy. It was something made of glass. Something very precious clearly. Just as I was just pulling it out, something clicked in my mind.Although this house was new, Alpha had already given it to Leila the day she had come here. Her servants were
What is this? The paper had been stuffed inside the cover to hide it. Why would Kaya or anyone push it into the mattress? Was I overthinking this or Lorenzo really had something to do with Kaya’s murder?I kept staring at the paper, wishing somehow some magical words would appear on it to give me a hint. But it remained as it was. I stuffed it in my pocket, and then quietly tiptoed out of the room. I was carefully closing the door behind me when a soft whisper slipped across my ear, “Snooping around?”I jumped in shock, and flipped around immediately. My eyes wide.Lorenzo stood in front of me with a smirk on his face, staring at me from top to bottom. Shit!“Wh- what? No. I was,” I gulped to hide my nervousness and quickly think of something, “I was looking for the washroom. Miss Leila said it is here, but I could not find it since thre are so many rooms in this corridor.”“Liars get set on fire, omega.” Lorenzo’s voice remained cold and emotionless even though there was a smirk on
I shifted immediately. Down on my knees in my human form, my arms covering my chest, I stared at the now dead guard with wide eyes.“What… did you just do?” I whispered, and lifted my eyes to look at Lorenzo, “you just killed a man?”He appeared indifferent, and casual like he had just chugged down a bottle of beer instead of committing murder. He jumped over the dead body of the man to get close to me, and then looked down at me with a smile. “Of course. Anything for you.”“For me?! FOR ME?!” I repeated the words. Why was he not making any damn sense?”“Well, yeah!” he shook his head like it was SO OBVIOUS, “something is wrong with your wolf, isn’t it? You shined in the dark. Pretty sexy, by the way,” he smirked, “but whatever it is, I don’t want to know. He was calling his pals over to get you in trouble, I stopped him from doing that. So didn’t I just help you?”My heart thumped with slight relief. He did not know about a the shining wolf tale. My secret was still safe.“I never a
That damn door! The squeaking noice was loud enough to make me still in fear. And to my horror, I saw Leila’s eyes snapping open. Since it was dark, at first she did not see my face, and called out loudly, “Who is there?!” Then her eyes met mine despite the dark for one brief second and it was like my heart stopped in that very second. I immediately pushed away from the door. “Lorezo!” Leila’s voice rang in the empty house, “wake up. Someone is in the house!” “What?” Lorenzo was half sleepy, half awake. He must be shocked too by the way there was urgency in his voice. “I- it is August.” she said in lower voice but I could hear her words as Lorenzo and Leila were scrambling out of the bed and running out of the room to catch me, “I saw her face. It was definitely August.” FUCK! Since I was barefoot, thankfully my steps did not make much noise. I ran like hell, trying to find a way out but I knew that I will never make it out of the main door because Leila had already seen me. I
I was so scared that I was almost sure they can hear my heartbeats. Had they found me? I could hear the sounds of their footsteps. They were right in front of me. There was a gap between the clothes that had fallen over me. I could see the legs as well. If they pulled the closet straight, I will fall out of it like a sack of rice. My doom was just one step away from me. Fuck. I stopped breathing, fearing they will hear the sound, if they had not already. “What do you think?” Leila asked softly. Worry lacing her words now. “Jumped out. But she can not get far.” Lorenzo muttered under his breath. “That bitch. I should not have let her go tonight. If she tattled off to anyone, everything will be destroyed.” “Her scent is still strong.” Leila’s hand creaked open the window wider, “I think she is somewhere very close. Let’s find her.” “If we can not, you already know what to do, right?” “Of course.” Leila mumbled, “it is just a mess to handle. I don’t like taking all the headache.”
